Taking advantage of the time before the food was served, Gao Mingcheng carefully inquired about some of the circumstances of the reconstruction of the village primary school, such as how much the township government would invest, how much the reconstruction would cost in total, how many people were currently willing to raise money, etc.
When Gao Mingcheng learned that the township government was only willing to invest 1,000 yuan, his eyelids twitched involuntarily. He thought to himself, no wonder the village primary school was not built until 1993 in the previous life. What could he do with this 1,000 yuan?
It was the 1990s and there were not many wealthy people in the village.
However, in this life, under the influence of Gao Mingcheng, Gao Shouwang opened a garment workshop in the village, which not only made Gao Shouwang and his wife make money, but also allowed some female workers who had sewing skills to earn wages.
Gao Shufang became the manager of Xinxin Clothing Store in her life, Gao Mingwan became a driver, and even Gao Mingli went to work in the county town. As for the eldest brother Gao Mingpeng, although he did not get the help of Gao Mingcheng, he also got a job as an accountant in the village committee and formed a construction team, so he could take on some small jobs on a regular basis.
Generally speaking, Gao Mingcheng's family is the best in the whole village.
So when the village wanted to rebuild the village primary school, they naturally thought of him. Taking advantage of the fact that Gao Yuanjian was holding a housewarming party and most of the villagers were there, he mentioned the matter to Gao Mingcheng on the spot.
After some thought, Gao Mingcheng said, "I actively agree with raising money to rebuild the village primary school, but I also have a small suggestion. In addition to building a two-story teaching building, we also need to plan a playground and a fence. The playground should have facilities such as horizontal bars, parallel bars, and ping-pong tables. In addition, we also need to build a library."
As soon as these words came out, the people in the village committee immediately looked embarrassed, and the village party secretary said: "Ming Cheng, we also want to build a good village school, but this way, it will cost more money!"
Gao Mingcheng was well prepared and announced his decision: "I can contribute 5,000 yuan to rebuild the village primary school! I will also provide the books for the library! They are all extracurricular books suitable for children. The teaching quality in our village is definitely not as good as that in the township and county, so I hope to expand the children's horizons by reading these extracurricular books."
Gao Mingcheng does not have the ability or the mind to invite some excellent teachers to teach at the village primary school, but it is still possible to set up a library for the village primary school so that children who like reading can have an opportunity to broaden their knowledge.
After hearing this, the people in the village committee looked at each other and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.
Long before, they had placed the main goal of raising money on Gao Mingcheng. Now Gao Mingcheng offered to donate 5,000 yuan and a library of books, which instantly reduced a lot of pressure on the village committee to rebuild the village primary school.
With the money from the township, the money donated by Gao Mingcheng, and the money donated by Gao Shouwang, Gao Mingwan and others, this village primary school can be built!
After all, wood can be cut from the mountains, bricks and tiles can be burned by ourselves, and even the construction labor can be found in the village, with each household only needing to provide one laborer.
The cost of reconstruction can be reduced to a minimum.
The village party secretary immediately patted Gao Mingcheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Mingcheng, I knew you were great! Don't worry, when the time comes, the amount of money donated by each person and the amount of money spent will be announced on red paper and posted for everyone to see!"
Gao Mingcheng just smiled. This seemed fair and just, but in fact, if the people in the village committee wanted to get some money, that was fine, but not much.
When the water is too clear, there will be no fish, so Gao Mingcheng will not dwell on this matter.
At this time, the village party secretary said, "Mingcheng, how long will it take to pay the village committee the 5,000 yuan you promised? It's like this. Although school has already started, now that the money is in place, we have to start preparing for reconstruction. The buildings in the village primary school are too dilapidated and can no longer be used. I plan to move them a little further to the west, and build a new teaching building there. After the new teaching building is built, the old classrooms will be demolished and used as part of the playground."
Gao Mingcheng nodded and agreed with the village party secretary's plan. This was similar to the village primary school in his previous life.
He said, "It will take more than a day or two to prepare for the work, so don't worry, village party secretary! I definitely don't have the 5,000 yuan with me now. I will bring it back the next time I go back to the village to do some work. Don't worry, I, Gao Mingcheng, will never go back on my promise!"
The village party secretary and others laughed and praised Gao Mingcheng for his generosity, loyalty, etc.
Everyone was carrying Huahua Bridge, and for a while, there was constant laughter and joy here. Those who were good at dealing with things took the opportunity to say a few words to Gao Mingcheng.
The news that Gao Mingcheng invested 5,000 yuan to help rebuild the village primary school spread throughout the village in a short period of time.
For a moment, everyone in the village was extremely happy.
After all, after the village primary school is rebuilt, their children will be able to go to school in the new teaching building!
This is a good thing that will benefit the whole village!
The village primary school in Gaojia Village is naturally called Gaojia Primary School. Even if people from other villages have to come here to study, it is still the same because the school is built at the location of Gaojia Village, and the funds for this reconstruction are mainly from people in Gaojia Village.
"The food is served!" With a shout, people began to serve the food one after another, and the atmosphere became even more lively.
Gao Mingcheng also asked the person who was talking to him to sit down at his seat, and hurriedly said, "Eat first, eat first."
But the people from the village committee surrounded him, making it impossible for him to escape, so he could only sit apart from Xuanyuemei.
There was a lot of smoking and drinking at their table, and the men were talking loudly, it was quite lively. However, the table where Xuanmei was sitting was full of women and children. Apart from being more active in picking up food, everything else was fine.
After the meal, Xuanyuemei saw that Gao Mingcheng's table had no intention of leaving, so she had to go back with her second sister Xuanyueyu.
Today is the housewarming party held by Xuanyuemei's parents-in-law. As Xuanyuemei's second sister, Xuanyue naturally has to come and give red envelopes.
The two sisters are now both pregnant, each holding a little boy's hand, walking on the green country path.
Although it is already mid-September, the weather is still hot and the plants are green, not yet affected by early autumn.
Many beauties have just been pregnant for more than a month, and their belly is still flat. Apart from liking sour food, they have not experienced any morning sickness or other symptoms. If she doesn't say it, no one can tell that she is pregnant.
But it’s different for Xuanyu. Her belly is already very big and she will give birth in more than a month.
Xuanyuemei told her second sister about her elder sister Xuanyuejin, and then said, "Second sister, when people in the village ask you to get sterilized in the future, you must not get sterilized. It hurts your body. I will take you to the county to get an IUD when the time comes!"
After hearing this, Xuanyu smiled and nodded repeatedly, and said proudly: "Don't worry, I will definitely not be like my elder sister! Mingcheng promised to donate 5,000 yuan to the village primary school today, and also promised to buy extracurricular books. Now the people in the village will definitely give him face!"
After finishing speaking, Xuanyu sighed again and said with a distressed look: "Your Mingcheng really doesn't care about money! Although he is rich, a few hundred or a thousand yuan would be enough! But he actually agreed to give 5,000 yuan! I heard that the library needs to buy a lot of books, and the money for buying books will be quite a lot!"
"Duomei, you should keep him in check. It's not good for him to spend money lavishly like this!"
After hearing her second sister's complaints, Xuanyuemei just smiled and said evasively: "Mingcheng knows what's going on, so I don't need to worry about him! Besides, rebuilding the village primary school earlier will be good for Xiao Shitou and his family! When Xiao Shitou goes to school, he can have a new classroom!"
After hearing this, many people's expressions became happy.
Indeed, when her son goes to school, there will be a new classroom!
After her second sister stopped nagging about this matter, Xuanyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, many beauties also felt that Gao Mingcheng was taking on too much. She didn't think that donating a few hundred or a thousand would be enough, but she felt that donating two or three thousand at most would be enough.
But when Gao Mingcheng agreed to donate 5,000 yuan and buy books, although she was surprised, she didn't say anything to his face. When others talked about this with her, she also supported Gao Mingcheng's decision.
This is what is meant by "the husband sings and the wife follows". (End of this chapter)
