Chapter 501 Killing Tan Jinghou
Qin Chaoyang's visit will not be an isolated case. This may be something Lin Weimin will have to face for a long time in the future.
He has made too much of a splash with the Hope Primary School project. The foundation has received tens of millions in donations, and the amount is still increasing every year. How many Hope Primary Schools can be built with this?
The lack of educational resources is a problem that continues to plague the Chinese people into the 21st century.
If we count the city dwellers who have already eaten commercial grain, even if they themselves did not come from the soil, most of their parents were of such a background. For good things like Hope Primary Schools, everyone naturally wants to seek some benefits for their hometown.
Although Lin Weimin really wants to build a "Huanggang Middle School" that will scare countless junior and senior high school students, the conditions in Lao Qin's hometown are indeed much better than most areas in the Midwest.
Take Huilongshan Town, the hometown of Qin Chaoyang and Qin Guilin, as an example. In the years of reform and opening up, industry and agriculture have developed rapidly, with a total output value of over 100 million yuan. Among the numerous towns and villages in central China, this is already a very remarkable figure for Huilongshan Town with a population of only more than 20,000 people, and it is a remarkable figure nationwide.
Lin Weimin rejected Qin Chaoyang directly, and did not forget to take some money from his pocket, "You only think about taking money from the foundation, have you ever thought about donating to the foundation? If all the people in the country are like you, how many years can this foundation last?"
Comrade Lao Qin was very depressed after being scolded by Lin Weimin. Although he was very unhappy with the boy's tone, the boy stood on the moral high ground and he could not find an excuse to refute.
Seeing Lin Weimin was about to search his pockets, Qin Chaoyang searched his pockets helplessly and said, "That's all."
"Okay, I'll donate the money to the foundation for you."
Lin Weimin wiped his hand and several bills disappeared. Qin Chaoyang said anxiously: "Leave me some money for the bus fare."
"Don't think I don't know. Don't you have a monthly ticket?"
"I……"
Comrade Lao Tan originally wanted to come to Lin Weimin to seek some benefits for his hometown, but he didn't expect that he didn't get any benefits, but was instead exploited, which made him very unhappy.
The scene between Lin Weimin and Qin Chaoyang at the door of the back building just now was seen by several colleagues in the society. Seeing that the effect was almost achieved, Lin Weimin pulled Qin Chaoyang into the office and started to speak softly.
The content of the conversation was nothing more than the opening of the Hope Primary School. He didn't know how many people would come to him in the future, so he couldn't open the door.
It would be fine if they were all poor areas like Lu Yao's hometown, but like Qin Chaoyang's hometown, the economic development is actually quite good. There are some poor villages and towns, but it is not a large-scale poor area. It is definitely not the primary target of assistance from the Foundation and the Hope Project.
If this loophole is opened, both the foundation and Lin Weimin will be in trouble in the future.
Qin Chaoyang smacked his lips after hearing his words, and then he came to his senses, "You are using me as a warning to others!"
Lin Weimin smiled and said, "Look at what you said, it's too harsh. This is just a temporary solution. It's for the overall situation."
Who put you in danger?
Seeing Comrade Lao Tan's angry expression, Lin Weimin said, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
"Don't bribe me with these small favors."
"How can it be called a bribe? I am sincerely inviting you to dinner. How about Dong Lai Shun? Is there anything better than this during the coldest days of winter? I will find a few more old friends to accompany you."
When you treat someone to a meal as a favor, you can't just invite one person, wouldn't that be a loss?
Teacher Lin's abacus was clacking loudly.
Qin Chaoyang calmed down a lot and put his temper aside. "I was reckless this time and shouldn't have made things difficult for you. Last time, I was grateful for your help, but this time I couldn't help myself..."
When he said this, a look of shame appeared on his face.
"I understand. But whoever comes to me is seeking benefits for himself? Aren't they all for those children who can't afford to go to school?"
It is true that Lin Weimin used Lao Tan as an example to scare others, but his starting point is very understandable.
"No more talking. I won't talk anymore. He's old, and his brain isn't very sharp anymore." Qin Chaoyang said with a hint of disappointment.
Lin Weimin comforted the old man again and finally made him happy.
In the evening, Lin Weimin invited several retired comrades from the commune, including Yan Wenjing, Meng Weizai, Rong Shihui, and Qin Chaoyang, to Donglaishun for a delicious meal.
When several people heard the reason why Lin Weimin was treating them today, they couldn't help but burst into laughter, which made Lao Tan feel very embarrassed.
After the meal, Lin Weimin sent everyone home one by one.
When he returned home, Tao Huimin was still waiting for him.
Lin Weimin has been very busy during this period, and the communication between the two has become less.
After a friendly and in-depth exchange, Comrade Huimin squeezed into his arms tenderly and said, "Today is Laba Festival!"
Listening to Tao Huimin's words and sounds, how could Teacher Lin not understand what she was thinking? "Time flies so fast. Will we have time to get the certificate by the end of the year?"
Tao Huimin raised her head, her face full of surprise, "Really?"
"Of course it's true! What do you want to do at the wedding?"
Tao Huimin had a smile on her lips. She was thinking without saying anything, but she laughed out loud first. Seeing Lin Weimin's teasing look, she shyly burrowed into the quilt.
After a long while, she came out from under the quilt again and said, "I think the simpler the better."
"You are so well-known now. If you hold a grand ceremony, it will definitely attract attention. It is better to do it simply to save trouble and effort."
What Lin Weimin likes most about Tao Huimin is that she is considerate. He doesn't have any feelings about the wedding and naturally doesn't want to make a big fuss, but this is a matter between the two of them, so he must respect Tao Huimin's opinion.
Now that she said that, the wedding became much simpler.
The next day, Tao Huimin called her parents to talk. The older generation always had some particularities, which had been suppressed in previous years but had revived in recent years. Tao's father and mother specially went to the Taoist temple to calculate an auspicious day.
After returning, he called Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin and told them that March 10, the tenth day of the second lunar month, was an auspicious day.
Tao Huimin did not agree with the feudal superstition of Tao's parents. Lin Weimin communicated with Tao's parents and set March 10 as the day for him and Tao Huimin to return to Rui'an to hold the wedding banquet.
When Tao Huimin called before, she had already said that the wedding would not be a grand one, just inviting relatives and friends for a meal. Tao's father and mother felt a little regretful, but they did not object, because marriage was after all a matter between the two of them.
"Then when are you going to get the marriage certificate?" Tao's mother asked the question she was most concerned about on the phone.
"Let's do it after the New Year. Get the certificate first, then hold the wedding banquet in Yanjing, and then go back to Ruian to do it all together. This way it will be less troublesome." Tao Huimin said.
"Find someone to calculate and pick a good day to get the certificate!" Tao's mother reminded.
"Mom, you have to change your feudal superstition." Tao Huimin couldn't help but complain.
"How can this be feudal superstition? This is etiquette!"
The mother and daughter exchanged a few words, and then Lin Weimin took the phone and started talking about business with Tao's mother.
Since the two of them are going back to Ruian to hold their wedding in March after the New Year, they definitely cannot go back this Spring Festival. It takes five or six days to go back and forth from Yanjing to Ruian, which is too troublesome.
But marrying off the daughter of the Tao family was a big deal, so Lin Weimin invited Tao's father and mother to live in Yanjing for a while after the New Year. In name, he wanted Tao's father and mother to help them arrange the wedding, but in fact, he just came to Yanjing to have some fun.
"Mom, after the wedding, Weimin and I plan to go abroad for our honeymoon. It may take a month or two, and we won't be able to see each other then, so you guys should come over."
"It's inconvenient, it's inconvenient." Tao's father and mother kept refusing, not wanting to cause trouble for Tao Huimin and her husband.
Lin Weimin persuaded her for a long time before Tao's father and mother agreed.
After discussing with Tao's father and mother, Lin Weimin took Tao Huimin to Qiqizuo Hutong.
He doesn't have many relatives here, just Han Dingbang and Han Zhuangzhuang's family. When he heard that Lin Weimin had finally decided to get married, Han Dingbang was beaming with joy.
After working in the kitchen for a long time, I prepared a table full of dishes.
While eating, Han Dingbang couldn't help but sigh again, "If your sister knew that you are so successful now and will soon get married, she would definitely be happy!"
The atmosphere at the table fell silent because of this sentence. Han Dingbang immediately changed his words and said, "Alas, as I get older, I tend to feel sad and depressed. Let's not talk about this on such a happy day!"
Everyone chatted for a while and the atmosphere at the table became cheerful again.
After dinner, Tao Huimin teased the fat girl of Han Zhuangzhuang.
Over a year, the advantages of the child's mixed-race race gradually emerged. His height and weight were obviously larger than those of children of the same age. He looked like a two or three-year-old child, with a delicate and pretty face.
Han Zhuangzhuang was chatting with Lin Weimin. He recently received the script "Benmingnian" directed by Xie Fei.
"I know that movie. It's an adaptation of Liu Heng's Black Snow. It's a pretty good adaptation."
Liu Heng is a member of Haima Studio and "Black Snow" is a novel he has written before.
When Haima Studio was established, Lin Weimin had heard everyone mention that Liu Heng was writing a script for Xie Fei.
"So, we can take it?" Han Zhuangzhuang said happily.
Lin Weimin glanced at him and said, "You can't even watch Xie Fei's movies now?"
"No, you told me you wanted to read the script."
"After reading the script, you can't tell whether it's good or bad?"
Han Zhuangzhuang smiled and said, "I think it's good. It would be more reassuring if I ask you this."
Lin Weimin said: "Liu Heng is a talented person. The scripts he handles are generally correct."
Liu Heng's talent in screenwriting is unquestionable, and many classic works were created by him in later generations.
"Ju Dou", "Qiu Ju Goes to Court", "The King of Western Chu", "No Confusion at Forty", "Secretly Happy", "Pretty Mom", "Happy Life of Poor Mouth Zhang Damin"...
"If you see his script, you can take it with confidence."
Han Zhuangzhuang smiled and said, "Liu Heng is the first screenwriter you can praise like this."
"They have talent and ability, and these things cannot be hidden. They don't need my approval."
"Then I accepted the script. Director Xie originally wanted to find Jiang Wen. Later, Liu Heng said that Jiang Wen was from the Central Academy of Drama, and I graduated from the Film Academy, so we are one family after all.
Hey, uncle, he must be saying that because of you."
Lin Weimin said: "It doesn't matter who the relationship is, as long as it fits the role. No role can only be played by a certain actor."
"Don't always criticize me. Every time I go out to film, I work diligently. I'm afraid of letting you down!" Han Zhuangzhuang said dissatisfiedly.
"Not bad, now you can hear the hidden meaning of the words, that's progress!" Lin Weimin joked.
Warmly celebrate the birth of the first leader of this book, Mingming Guishen Youyewu!
