Tuition fees can be paid with food or firewood, but it would be best to pay directly. The tuition fee is 80 cents per month.
The problem now is books. It would be best to ensure that every child has a book so that every child can review at home.
The accountant also thought of this, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Girl An, how many books do you think can be delivered tomorrow?"
An Ran sneered and said: There won't be many. If we can give half of the books, it will be half of our village's, not including the nearby villages.
So tomorrow's books won't be that many, and there will be a lot of books missing. But some is better than nothing, and I'll think of some later.
Few people had expected that there would be such difficulties before they even started. What should they do next?
An Ran ignored them. She was not a cheerleader and she didn't have to cheer up a few old men.
He took out a blueprint and placed it in front of a few people. This is the blueprint for building a school. You can take a look at it first. If there are any problems, we will make changes.
Several people looked at the drawings and liked them more and more. The design was so good, and every detail was just right.
The team leader said: This drawing is well drawn, and we can build the school according to it.
The village chief said: Let’s end our discussion today. Let’s split up and act accordingly. Those who need bricks should do bricks, those who need to call people should call people, and those who need to make beams should do beams. We should try to complete the construction of the school before the autumn harvest.
Then he continued: "Old Tian, you and An Yatou, go look at the empty houses in the village and see which one is suitable for a small workshop. I will select the people. Old Zhou is the accountant, and let him go to the contact to buy bricks and negotiate the price. What do you think of my arrangement?"
A few people nodded, indicating that they had no objection, and then they all got up and left to go about their own business and prepare for building the school...
The team leader took An Ran to choose an empty house. After walking around and looking around, An Ran chose a pretty good place. It was the house where the servants of a landlord used to live. The size was just right and it could be put into operation after a little renovation.
Finally, the small workshop was set up there. Anran thought that she should make a small sign and hang it on the door to let people know what was done here...
After a day, An Ran was almost exhausted. When she returned to the educated youth camp, everyone asked her to take a shower and then come out for dinner.
An Ran was confused. Although there were no conflicts between them normally, they were not very enthusiastic either. What happened today?
But I figured it out while taking a shower. It was all because of what happened today, and also because of building a school. The school needs teachers, so everyone's minds became active...
After taking a shower and changing her clothes, Anran had to eat, no matter what others thought. She was almost starving to death. She walked out of the room, and the educated youth pulled her to the middle of the table and asked her to eat. They had specially left dinner for her.
An Ran thought about it and decided not to eat for free. After all, the choice of teacher was decided by the village. Although she had a say, she didn't want to get involved. It wasn't because she was afraid of offending people, but because she was afraid of trouble.
An Ran took out some White Rabbit milk candies, put them in the middle of the table, and then said to everyone: Thank you for saving the meal for me, but I can't accept it for nothing, so this is my exchange.
He continued: I know what you are thinking, but I want to make it clear that although I have fought for these, the final decision on who to choose as a teacher needs to be decided by the village, not by me.
After saying that, she started to eat. She was so hungry that she had to eat quickly and didn’t care about other people’s embarrassment...!
Everyone looked embarrassed. Although they had their own thoughts in mind, they were sincere in leaving food for her. However, she said it so bluntly, and they also knew that she didn't have the final say...!
Wang Zhaodi couldn't hold it in any longer, and looked at An Ran and said: Comrade An, we don't mean anything else, and we know that this is not something you can decide. We just hope that when we choose a teacher, you can speak up for us.
Although the others thought the same thing, they understood An Ran's temper and were not very supportive of Wang Zhaodi's clear statement. Because, given An Ran's temper and current connections, making it too clear would be counterproductive...
Xia Lan said, "Comrade Wang, whether An Ran will speak for us or not depends on our own efforts. If we're not good enough, even if she speaks for us, it's useless if the village doesn't agree. But if we work hard and let the village see our value, then even if An Ran doesn't speak for us, the village will still choose us."
Even Liu Zhaodi said, "Anran, we have aspirations to become teachers, but we're not. That's why we're leaving you food." We'll work hard on our own. As you said, only by standing firm can you earn recognition from others. We're leaving you food simply out of concern, because you've brought honor to the educated youth community. You've done so much, and it's worth our consideration. It's all about mutuality. If we treat you well, I believe you'll treat us well too. After all, we're a big family!"
Everyone else nodded in agreement. This was exactly what they thought, nothing else. They had no intention of plotting against An Ran, and they also didn't dare to do so...!
An Ran didn't expect that Liu Zhaodi, who was stupid and sarcastic on the first day, would actually say such a thing. It was really rare and she had made a lot of progress...!
