"By the way, Director Zhang, what specific aspects of support did you mention earlier include?" Li Haoran asked curiously, his brows revealing his deep anticipation for the project's future.
Director Zhang smiled slightly, glanced around at the focused faces, and slowly began, “First, the Education Bureau will provide the necessary teaching resources and teacher training to ensure the quality of education. Second, we will assist you in applying for special funds to solve the funding problem for infrastructure construction. Furthermore, considering the long-term development of the project, we also plan to introduce a distance education system so that the children here can access advanced knowledge from the outside world.”
"Distance education? That's fantastic!" Xiao Bao's eyes lit up instantly, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement. "That way I can attend classes with the kids in the city and learn so much more!"
Mo Qingxue gently stroked Xiaobao's head, her gaze tender yet full of strength: "See, Xiaobao, your dream is getting closer and closer to you."
Among the villagers watching, an elderly woman couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this is truly something I've never seen before! I never imagined that such a good thing could happen in our remote mountain village. These young people are amazing!"
"Yes, yes, our village is about to undergo a big change," the uncle next to him chimed in, his face full of anticipation and joy.
As they talked, a cool breeze blew by, bringing with it the fresh scent unique to the mountains. Su Mo looked up at the starry sky, his heart surging with endless thoughts. "It all started with a simple idea, but now it has gathered into a force that can change destiny. Each of us can become that spark."
Director Zhang nodded, clearly deeply moved by Su Mo's words: "What you have ignited is not only the spark of knowledge, but also the hope of people's hearts. The government and all sectors of society will be your strong support. Let us join hands to bring a brighter future to this land."
As night deepened, the discussion around the campfire grew even more heated. Everyone contributed their ideas to the upcoming plan, meticulously refining every detail from curriculum design to school building planning. A-Qiang's camera remained busy, capturing this historic moment. His lens not only captured the team's enthusiastic discussions but also the hopeful and grateful faces of the villagers.
"I never imagined that our ordinary little town could become the protagonist of a story." Old Zhao stood at the edge of the crowd, watching this scene, and a strange sense of pride welled up in his heart.
“Yes, Lao Zhao, miracles can happen anywhere in the world,” a villager carrying a bamboo basket stopped and agreed with a smile.
As the night deepened and the town gradually returned to tranquility, Su Mo and Director Zhang's conversation continued. They were discussing a more far-reaching cooperation plan, and two hearts burning with passion for education sparked a brilliant flame that night.
"Director Zhang, I believe that only education can fundamentally change the fate of a place. We are willing to work together with the government to not only make this school a beacon of knowledge, but also a catalyst for social progress."
Director Zhang wholeheartedly agreed, and he grasped Su Mo's hand tightly: "With young people like you around, China's future is sure to be full of hope. Tomorrow, let us march together toward an even brighter future."
At this point in the conversation, no further words were needed. In the night sky, the brightest stars seemed to be silently witnessing this moment, as if saying: As long as there is light in our hearts, hope will never be extinguished.
Goodnight, world. Thank you for everything tonight, and let us look forward to the first rays of dawn.
The next morning, sunlight pierced through the thin mist, gently bathing the town, as if heralding a new day. The villagers rose early, their faces brimming with unprecedented energy and anticipation. They gathered in small groups, chatting animatedly.
"I heard that experts are coming to our village's primary school today to do planning and design!" Aunt Wang excitedly shared with the woman next to her while tidying up her stall.
"Yes, they discussed it so late last night. These young people are really energetic!" The older woman exclaimed, her eyes filled with anticipation for the future.
At the old school site, Su Mo and his team members were already busy, their figures appearing particularly resolute in the morning light. Not far away, several engineers were holding blueprints, taking measurements carefully, occasionally bowing their heads to discuss, and sometimes looking up into the distance, their eyes sparkling with enthusiasm and anticipation for the project.
"Teacher Su, are you really going to transform this dilapidated school into something so advanced?" Xiao Bao asked, pulling his best friend Xiao Hua along. He pointed to a poster showing a model of a future school, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Su Mo squatted down and answered gently, "Yes, Xiao Bao. What we need to do is make the impossible possible. In the future, you, Xiao Hua, and every child here will be able to enjoy high-quality educational resources."
Xiaohua's eyes widened, and she grabbed Xiaobao's hand, saying, "Does that mean we'll all become those child prodigies on TV?"
Those around them laughed, and the atmosphere instantly became relaxed and cheerful. Just then, a young man who had just returned from the city passed by and overheard their conversation. He couldn't help but interject, "You guys don't know, do you? This news has already spread throughout the city. Everyone's saying our village is going to become an 'education star village,' and a lot of people envy us!"
A gasp of amazement rose from the crowd, and even the usually taciturn old carpenter smiled and muttered to himself, "Looks like this old bone of mine can still keep up with the times."
In the afternoon, as trucks loaded with building materials slowly drove in, the atmosphere in the village reached another climax. Children surrounded the trucks, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement, while the adults chatted and exclaimed in amazement.
"This speed is like magic!" An elderly woman exclaimed, clutching her chest in astonishment.
"Yes, they were talking about it yesterday, and they've already started doing it today. These young people are really efficient!" another uncle chimed in.
While everyone was discussing, Su Mo and Mo Qingxue, along with their team members, were communicating with the construction team one by one to discuss the specifics, ensuring that every step would go smoothly. Their figures shone brightly in the sunlight, as if they were leading an educational revolution.
Night fell again, and the villagers, exhausted from a day's work, sat around the newly built shed, enjoying the rare coolness. Su Mo walked over, holding a megaphone; his voice, though slightly weary, was firm and powerful.
"Fellow villagers, today is just the beginning, and the road ahead is long. But we believe that as long as we are of one mind and work together, there are no difficulties we cannot overcome. We not only want to build a school, but also a dream, a dream that allows every child to spread their wings and fly high."
A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the crowd; everyone was deeply moved by Su Mo's words. Just then, Director Zhang stepped out from behind the crowd and took the microphone: "Teacher Su is right. This transformation requires the efforts of each and every one of us. Tonight, I want to tell you some good news: the city has decided to equip our school with state-of-the-art science laboratories and libraries, so that our children can also stand at the forefront of science and technology."
Before the words were even finished, the crowd erupted in cheers again, surprise and hope mingling on everyone's faces. In the night sky, the stars seemed even brighter than the night before, as if they too were celebrating the impending change.
"Director Zhang, this is wonderful!" Li Haoran jumped up excitedly. "This means we're one step closer to our dream!"
"Yes, Haoran. But this is only the first step. There are many more possibilities waiting for us to explore and realize in the future." Director Zhang's eyes were deep, and his tone was full of boundless anticipation for the future.
The conversation faded into the night, but a light was lit in everyone's heart—not only an expectation for the future school, but also a yearning and pursuit of a better life.
"Goodnight, little town. Tomorrow, let's continue writing our own legend." Su Mo gazed at the starry sky, silently reciting this in his heart, his eyes filled with boundless hope for tomorrow.
