Li Mengxue looked at the two incense sticks and shuddered: "Is there really a ghost eating them?"
Yi Qingqing shook her head: "I don't know."
"Well, Qingqing, what you said makes sense. Let me take part in building the school." Li Mengxue suddenly felt that since she could travel through time and space and there was also a supermarket space, then this world might be metaphysical.
After all, it wouldn't hurt for her to do something nice.
She's not short of money anyway.
Qian Lailai and Wang Lingling were thinking about their ancestors. If there really were souls after death, they must be starving to death in the underworld since no one dared to worship them over the years.
Regardless of whether it really exists or not, they can't sit still when there is such a possibility.
"Qingqing, can we buy some incense and candles from you?"
Yi Qingqing didn't expect that this could bring her business, so she agreed.
But when they wanted to donate money, Yi Qingqing reminded them: "Don't rush to do charity. First of all, you have to protect yourself. With the money you made this year, you should buy a few houses to protect yourself. If the company fails, you will have a way out. If you really have more money in the future, it won't be too late to do these things! Besides, I'm not really sure about those ghosts and gods. I just feel that I don't know where to spend the money, so I just want to help those in need."
She just wanted to remind them and give her friends a small reason to do charity work in the future. She didn't want them to really do charity work without caring about themselves, because that would be stupid.
Li Mengxue asked for her phone number, and Yi Qingqing found time to call.
The call was transferred to the Xiangshui Village Brigade. When she heard that the call was for the brigade leader, she was asked to call back in half an hour and he would go and get someone.
When she dialed again, as soon as the call was connected, Yi Qingqing heard the captain's loud voice, so loud that she had to hold the receiver farther away.
"Yi Xiaozhiqing! I'm Zhao Youtian! Are you doing well after you returned? You should graduate this year, right? I heard that you and Yun Zhiqing both studied medicine? Medicine is good..."
After four years, the captain's greetings made Yi Qingqing suddenly find the feeling of being in the countryside.
"Hey, Captain! I'm Yi Qingqing!"
"We are back and living well!"
"Yes, yes, I graduated this year and was assigned to the Institute of Pharmacology."
"Oh, they are people who research and make medicines. For example, the medicines prescribed by villagers in the clinic and health center are first developed by the Institute of Pharmacology."
"Yun Zhiqing, yes, I'm dating him. He's assigned to the Capital Hospital."
"Oh, don't worry, you don't have to tell us. When we have time, we will definitely come back to visit. Just like you said, Xiangshui Village is our second home! We still miss our fellow villagers!"
He spoke so smoothly that Yi Qingqing almost forgot about the main thing.
The captain remembered that phone calls were expensive, so after chatting for a while, he said he wanted to hang up.
"Captain, wait a minute, I want to ask how our village primary school is doing. I have been taken care of by everyone in Xiangshui Village for several years. Now that I have made it, I want to help rebuild the primary school in our village so that more children can learn knowledge like us and have a better future! By the way, are there any children in the village whose families cannot afford to go to school? I am willing to provide them with financial support!" Yi Qingqing said quickly.
After she finished speaking, she heard silence from the other end: "Hello? Hello? Captain? Are you still there?"
Zhao Youtian finally came to his senses: "What did you just say? Say it again?"
He guessed that he was old and his hearing was not very good, so how did he hear Xiao Yi, the educated youth, say that he wanted to build a primary school for their village?
Yi Qingqing had no choice but to repeat: "Captain, we have been really busy these past few years and have not been able to spare the time to go back. I know that you are most concerned about Xiangshui Village, so I feel most assured in handing over this specific supervision work to you..."
It took her a lot of effort to convince the captain that she was serious and that she did have the financial resources. She was not trying to be rich, nor was she living a tight life just for the sake of the village.
She even told the captain that she also sponsored poor children in her hometown county to go to school, which made him start to seriously consider the matter.
Zhao Youtian no longer remembered the expensive phone bill. He wiped his face fiercely and said, "Xiao Yizhiqing, thank you. I will take care of this matter. But don't worry. Tomorrow I will go to your uncle Weimin to discuss how to build this primary school and how much money it will cost. After you hear the amount of money needed, you can decide whether to do it. If not, we are not in a hurry. It doesn't matter if we wait a few more years. Since you can think of this matter now, I believe you can do it!"
Only then did Yi Qingqing agree.
Building a school is not a short-term task. The preliminary preparation work will probably take years. The clothing store will be expanding soon, and the dividends in the next few years will only increase.
She felt that she could not only help build a primary school in the village, but also a junior high school and a cement road leading to the county town!
In addition to thanking the villagers for taking care of her during the years she went to the countryside, she also wanted to thank them for some of her future plans.
Xiangshui Village is surrounded by beautiful mountains and clear waters. There are many wild medicinal herbs in the Daqing Mountain behind the village, and the environment there is also suitable for the cultivation of some medicinal herbs.
The most important thing is that there is a land temple in Tieling County where you can sign in a harvest talisman.
Next year, the distribution of land to households will be almost fully implemented across the country.
At this time, the land had just been divided, and everyone should be full of confidence in a good life in the future. She let the villagers adapt for a few years while she did some preliminary preparations. By then, she wanted to build a medicinal material cultivation base in Xiangshui Village.
Traditional Chinese medicine cannot be separated from medicinal materials. She has to start preparing for these things now.
She first built a school and cement roads in the village to drive the development of the village. She can also gain more trust from the villagers. With a good reputation, she, an outsider, will have less trouble when she wants to build a medicinal material cultivation base in the local area.
This is a win-win situation. She originally wanted to do charity, so what's wrong with choosing Xiangshui Village, where she has more connections?
She already had a good impression of Xiangshui Village, as well as the group of little kids named Hu Wa. She also hoped that Xiangshui Village would develop better and better, and that the lives of the villagers there would become better and better.
Just like what the village chief said, Xiangshui Village is their second hometown, and it would be nice for her to give something back.
After Yi Qingqing finished calling the captain, she breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had to worry about where the money was spent!
This money will become less valuable as time goes by. The tens of thousands of yuan now can sponsor so many children and build a village primary school. If it remains in her hands, in ten or twenty years, I'm afraid it won't even be enough to build a classroom. What a pity.
