The current primary school is converted from the ancestral hall of Mushroom Village. It's fine most of the time, but during festivals, weddings, and funerals, the villagers inevitably complain.
"Nan Nan, you're not lying to your uncle. You know, I've wanted to renovate the ancestral hall for a long time."
“Of course it’s true. Donating to a school is a good deed that brings good karma. How can you talk nonsense? Uncle Village Chief, calculate how much money is needed?” Yan Xiaonan said with a smile.
"Ugh, ugh, I'll go calculate it right away. Where's the accountant? Where the hell are they? Come quick and do the calculations..."
The accountant ran out from next door, took out an abacus and paper and pen, and started calculating with Village Chief Ma.
Yan Xiaonan walked towards the logging team. It was his first time visiting a logging team, so he had to bring some gifts.
The consciousness spread outwards, and the area around the village committee was quiet; not a single person could be seen.
A large basket appeared in his hand, containing pheasants, rabbits, half a roe deer, rice, and flour.
I carried my basket on my back and walked towards the logging site. In the distance, I could see people lined up in two pairs, facing each other.
Xu Xiangrong is having them check each other's safety equipment, whether they are wearing safety helmets and work shoes.
Yan Xiaonan was very satisfied. This is how work should be done; safety is the most important thing.
When everyone saw Yan Xiaonan coming over, they all greeted him warmly. The boss was so young, yet so considerate of them; they were truly blessed.
Sister-in-law Xu and some villagers who were helping with the cooking also ran over and took the basket from Yan Xiaonan's back.
You don't know until you pick it up, and once you get your hands on it, you're shocked. This basket must weigh at least forty or fifty pounds. The owner is really strong.
"We're leaving in a couple of days, so we'd like to have lunch together today. Feel free to make any requests you have; as long as they're reasonable, I'll agree to them," Yan Xiaonan said with a smile.
Everyone was both happy and reluctant to part with them. Since returning from the Yan family, they had not only received gifts but also enjoyed two delicious meals.
As the team leader, Xu Xiangrong led Yan Xiaonan on a tour of the logging camp and gave her a detailed introduction.
This is the parking lot. We have two trucks in the fleet now, which is enough.
This is a warehouse, and in front of it is a drying yard. The wood needs to be dried for a while after it's been cut down.
This is the dormitory. It was built big enough that my wife and I now share a room.
This is the kitchen and dining hall; it's relatively small, but it's enough for their needs.
This is the tool shed. All the tools are looked after by the old bachelor, and they are sent out for repair when they break.
Then he took Yan Xiaonan to the logging site, where Yan Xiaonan observed carefully that the number of trees had decreased.
But it doesn't affect the environment of Mushroom Mountain. In two years, she will come again and, taking advantage of the days when the mountain is closed by heavy snow, she will encourage some of the felled trees to grow back.
The accountant and Village Chief Ma had carefully calculated it two or three times and finally came up with a reasonable number.
The cost of building a brick school is basically 20,000 yuan, and with the addition of seats, blackboards, and sports facilities, 30,000 yuan will be enough.
Yan Xiaonan left 50,000 yuan for Village Chief Ma, saying that the school needed not only hardware equipment, but also software.
For example, you could get an accordion or other musical instrument to let the children know about music.
You can get some drawing boards and paints so that children can learn to paint.
Or we could set up a small library to let children know that the outside world is vast and wonderful.
We also need to build a large playground so we can play basketball, soccer, do morning exercises, and so on.
The news of building a primary school in Mushroom Village was quickly spread, and people in the county and town were moved.
With a school comes the need for teachers. Mushroom Village has become a well-known relatively wealthy village, so the salary and benefits for job seekers there are sure to be high.
You should know that during the off-season, the villagers of Mushroom Village would go to the logging camp to do odd jobs, and they could earn a lot of money just by moving wood.
However, these benefits can only be enjoyed by the people of Mushroom Village. If they become teachers, they can also do odd jobs during winter and summer vacations.
Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chen'er took on the role of interviewers again, emphasizing that character is the most important quality for teachers.
Ma Chunhua volunteered and brought her sister-in-law to the interview. Her sister-in-law was a high school graduate and worked as a temporary worker in town.
Yan Xiaonan asked a few questions and had her complete a few exams before admitting her. The main reason was that the family was kind and honest.
Ye Chen'er followed suit. A child's character is closely related to his or her parents. As long as you get to know their parents, you can understand their character.
The school was built to be large enough for all the children in Mushroom Village to attend. Seeing that there were still empty classrooms, Village Chief Ma ran towards the town.
He wanted to have a serious talk with the Party Secretary. Many villages didn't have schools yet, and people from other villages could come to Mushroom Village Primary School, but they would have to pay tuition.
Yan Xiaonan smiled. The village chief was quite quick-witted. No matter what, studying is always the right thing to do, especially for children from the mountains. Without education, they can never leave the mountains.
Time flies, and the month is almost over. Yan Xiaonan and the others will be leaving soon.
Village Chief Ma was extremely saddened. With the Yan family back in the village, he could relax, be happy, and have many good things happen to him.
Not only was Village Chief Ma saddened, but many villagers also spontaneously brought things they could afford from their homes.
This family gives a basket of eggs, that family gives an old hen, and even the mother of the dung ball gives a silver bracelet.
Even during the most difficult times, Dung Ball Mother treasured it and didn't sell it, but now she's taking it out to give to Yan Xiaonan.
Yan Xiaonan was unwilling to accept it, and it took a lot of sweet talk and harsh words to dissuade Dung Ball's mother from her determination.
Before dawn, Yan Xiaonan stood on Mushroom Mountain, channeling the mountain god's energy into all the animals.
The Tiger King is in much better spirits, and the tigress sometimes comes to check on the cubs. It seems the Tiger King won't be lonely anymore.
He picked up the tiger cub that the mother tiger had given him, glanced at the tiger king again, and turned to leave.
North Wind quickly led the wolf pack to follow, and only stopped when they reached the mountainside.
"North Wind, keep a close watch on Mushroom Mountain. I'll come back to see you all," Yan Xiaonan said reluctantly.
The north wind howled, and with just that one sound, it sounded exactly like the wind from Zhongnan. Yan Xiaonan felt a pang of sadness again and quickly left.
He put the tiger cubs into his spatial storage, then caught a few wild rabbits and pheasants, knocked them unconscious, and put them in his basket. He was going to take these back to the capital.
Grandma Yan and her family had already packed their luggage; they brought over a dozen bags, and they would bring back over a dozen bags as well.
Besides the gifts from the villagers, all the luggage consisted of wild game that Yan Xiaonan had hunted. The wild game took up a lot of space, so it looked like there was a lot of luggage.
Ma Mingchun and a few others drove a truck to pick up Yan Xiaonan and the others. Ma Mingchun got married quickly this month.
Yan Xiaonan presented a generous gift of money and sincerely wished Ma Mingchun a happy marriage and many children.
As Mrs. Ma watched her son and daughter-in-law accept the blessings, she sighed inwardly, thinking that fate was truly a mysterious thing.
