After finishing the bowl of mung bean soup, Xiao Mo explained his purpose.
"Uncle Hongjun, I have been doing business with my sister in the past few years and have made some money.
When I was in Yushu Village, how could my life have been so easy without everyone's protection?
Although I am still young, I also want to do something for the folks in our Yushu Village.
Uncle Hongjun, could you please help me calculate how much it would cost to rebuild our village school? ”
Chen Hongjun looked at him in surprise, and it took him a while to react, "Xiao Mo, do you know what you are talking about? Renovating a school? Do you know how much it will cost?"
Xiao Mo said seriously, "Uncle Hongjun, I'm not kidding, I'm serious. Please help me calculate how much it will cost to build a brick house?"
Chen Hongjun was silent for a while, then said, "Xiao Mo, the village head and the principal have already made many trips to the township to discuss the school renovation.
I just want to ask the higher authorities to allocate some money to help our village renovate the school.
But there are also difficulties above. Last year, we had heavy snow here, and not only did many schools collapse, but a number of houses also collapsed.
The village chief and the township chief had already asked me to calculate the cost. If we repair the brick and tile house, it will cost at least more than 10,000 yuan, and this is still a conservative estimate.
This ten thousand yuan does not include wood, doors and windows, but there are plenty of these things on the mountain.
We have a lot of labor in our village. When the time comes, we can ask the village chief to organize people to go to the mountain and bring them back.
This is a school built for our own village, and the bricklayers are also found in our village. They work for our own village and don’t ask for any wages. ”
When Xiao Mo heard that it only cost more than 10,000 yuan, he was immediately relieved. This way, he would have enough money and would not have to borrow money from his second brother and seventh grandfather.
He said with a smile: "Uncle Hongjun, let's go find the village chief and the principal now, I will pay for it.
There is still some time before the autumn harvest, so we can build the school first, so that we don’t have to worry about the classrooms being crushed in the winter. ”
"Xiao Mo, go back and discuss this with your family first. There's no rush. It won't be too late to discuss it after you've treated the guests tomorrow."
Chen Hongjun was thinking too much. No matter how smart Xiao Mo was, he was only a fourteen-year-old child.
Even if he earned this much money himself, he couldn't just build a school for the village like that.
If you don’t know, you might think that they are trying to cheat the children out of their money.
Xiao Mo knew Uncle Hongjun’s concerns, so he didn’t insist. He played with Sandan for a while and drank a bowl of mung bean soup before going back to discuss with his second brother and seventh grandfather.
After hearing what he said, Grandpa Qi praised him, "Xiao Mo is really a good child with a conscience, but you can't pay for this money alone. I am also from Yushu Village and I also want to do something for my hometown. I will pay half."
After thinking for a while, he said proudly: "Xiao Mo, don't think that you are the only one who is rich. Your seventh grandfather sells braised meat every day and earns as much as you do."
Xiao Mo said unconvincedly: "Grandpa Qi, you make money by selling braised meat, but it's not as good as my street stall.
I own several properties, and you only have one. How can we compare? ”
"You little brat, you have a few houses, what's so great about that? I don't want to buy any. Humph, just wait. When we get back to Beijing, I'll buy two more and let you see if I have money."
Xu An originally said that he would also contribute some money, but after hearing these two people showing off their wealth, he gave up the idea.
Forget it, since they are both so rich, I won’t get involved. When the time comes, he will pay for someone to make the desks, chairs and benches for the school.
Seeing that Grandpa Qi was so angry that he was fuming, Xiao Mo hurried over to comfort him, "Hey, why are you so sticky and so easily angry?
I was just joking with you. I know you are the best and you are richer than me. Why don’t you take more when we build the school? ”
After hearing what he said, Grandpa Qi smiled and said, "Xiao Mo, you still have more money.
I originally had the idea of building half of this school. Since you want to do something practical for the villagers, I, Seventh Grandpa, will not argue with you.
Even if you built this school by yourself, I'll keep my money to buy a house in Beijing.
After all, I only have one house, how can I compare with those who own several properties? ”
When Xiao Mo heard Grandpa Qi say that he couldn't pay, he said anxiously, "Oh, Grandpa Qi, come on, didn't you say you would pay half? Why are you going back on your word now? You can't do this."
Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were about to turn against each other, Xu An quietly walked out.
When Xiao Mo saw him, he hurriedly shouted, "Second brother, don't leave. Why don't you show your support for building a school for our village?"
Xu An pretended to be distressed and said, "Xiao Mo, I also want to build a school for our village like you, but you also know my second brother's ability. I am not as good as you in setting up stalls, and I can't make as much money as you. My second brother has the will but not the ability!"
Xiao Mo knew that his second brother was telling the truth. Well, forget about his second brother and Seventh Grandpa. He had never intended to let them pay.
Who told them that they are not as good at making money as I am? I feel proud just thinking about it. It’s better not to let them get involved in such an important matter as building a school for the village.
