On the threshing ground, the sun shines brightly, illuminating the entire place.
Uncle Wang and the team leader stood side by side. The noise of the surrounding villagers was endless, but the two of them were immersed in their own discussion.
Uncle Wang was excited, gesturing with his hands, his tone full of excitement and expectation: "Captain, we made a lot of money from selling herbs this time! Look, Lin Zhiyue is different after studying, and knows how to make money with knowledge. Our village now has this money, and I'm thinking, why don't we build a school in the village? Let the children in our village go to school, and in the future they can change their destiny with knowledge like Lin Zhiyue. As for the rest of the money, I think we can give each household a little bit, so that everyone will be more motivated to work in the future. What do you think?"
The captain frowned slightly and thought deeply about Uncle Wang's suggestion.
He walked slowly, raising some dust under his feet. After a moment, he said, "Your idea is indeed good. Building a school is a good thing. It concerns the future of our children in the village. The money is worth spending. Sharing the money with everyone can also make everyone taste the sweetness and pay more attention to the affairs of the village in the future. But we must also be careful and reserve some money in the village in case of any emergency. When we need money, we will not be at a loss."
Uncle Wang listened and nodded heavily, with an expression of approval on his face: "Yes, yes, yes, Captain, you have thought it through. We need to reserve some emergency funds. We never know when the village will encounter a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, or some unexpected situation. We can't do without money for emergencies."
The team leader raised his hand, patted Uncle Wang on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, that's settled. When all the villagers are here, we will announce the news to everyone and make everyone happy." Uncle Wang also laughed, his eyes full of longing for the future of the village.
The threshing ground was bustling with people, villagers were pushing and talking to each other, and the air was filled with a mixture of tension and expectation.
The team leader stood on a slightly higher mound of earth, his posture upright, his hands cupped to his mouth, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Okay, everyone look around, is everyone here? If everyone is here, I want to talk to you, chat!" His voice was loud and powerful, instantly penetrating the noisy voices and reaching every corner. The villagers stopped talking and focused their eyes on the team leader.
The captain cleared his throat, looked solemn, and slowly said, "Everyone knows that we have been collecting herbs for a whole month in the wind and rain. Today, the accountant and the young men from the village have gone to the pharmacy to sell the herbs. This trip was really worthwhile. We sold more than 6,700 yuan in total!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of exclamations from the crowd. The villagers whispered to each other, their faces full of surprise and excitement.
The team leader went on to say, "I have discussed with the accountant that we will use the change from the 700 yuan to build a school in the village! Why? We must ensure that all the children in the village can go to school and learn knowledge. Look at Lin Zhiyue, she has read a lot of books and learned a lot of knowledge, so she can make money with her knowledge. She knows that the herbs in the mountains can be sold for money, but what about us? We work in the fields day after day. Who would have known that those insignificant things could be turned into money? We usually treat them like weeds and don't understand anything. If our children can go to school, maybe we can find more ways to make money in the future, and our lives will get better and better!"
After hearing this, the villagers fell into deep thought, and then began to discuss heatedly.
"Captain, you can do it. I support you!" a young father shouted in the crowd, his eyes flashing with hope for his child's future.
"Okay, Captain, there's no problem with your suggestion!" A white-haired old man also echoed, he knew very well the importance of knowledge to the next generation.
For a moment, voices of approval rose and fell, echoing in the threshing ground.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of longing for the future of the village, as if they had already seen the scene of children reading aloud in the brand new classroom.
In the threshing ground, the villagers were still immersed in the joy of the upcoming construction of the school, and discussions were rising and falling like the tide.
Seeing this, the team leader raised his voice again and continued, "We need to make a comprehensive plan for the remaining 6,000 yuan. This village is like our common home, and we never know when we will encounter some unexpected situations. Therefore, it is necessary to keep 1,000 yuan in the team for emergencies. Think about it, if there is a natural disaster or someone gets an emergency, this money will come in handy and can save lives and solve urgent problems at the critical moment!"
The villagers listened and nodded, with expressions of understanding and approval on their faces.
Someone whispered: "The captain is really thinking long-term. We will feel at ease if we keep the money."
The team leader continued, "The accountant and I decided to divide the remaining 5,000 yuan among everyone! Everyone can use the money according to their own needs. In the past few years, life has been tight, and many people have not had a good meal of meat. This time, those who get the money should go to the market to buy some meat to improve their lives and provide nutrition for the elderly and children at home;
If there are young men of marriageable age in the family, and it is time for them to get married, the money can be used to prepare the betrothal gifts, renovate the new house, and hold the wedding in a grand manner;
Families with daughters can prepare a more generous dowry, so that those who should marry off their daughters can marry off their daughters and let their daughters go out with dignity;
Those who have always wanted to renovate their houses but have been suffering from lack of money can now get their wish, tidy up their dilapidated houses, and renovate their houses, so that they can live more comfortably in the future!"
