Having decided to build a school, Chen Hongjun immediately organized manpower and called on the men in the village to go up the mountain to cut trees.
Although there was no pay, everyone was happy to work. Xiao Mo and Xiao An spent so much money to build a school for their village, so what was a little effort on their part?
Look at Dalin and the Jianmin Red Party. They were both admitted to good universities. The country will assign them jobs in the future. They will actually be eating state-funded food.
They also hope that their children will be able to go to college like them and no longer have to work in the fields to make a living like their parents.
Everyone was working with great enthusiasm. Jianhua, Dalin, Jianmin and Dawa, the four of them each contributed 500 yuan, saying they would build a small library for the school.
They also said that they would donate money to the school every year and ask the principal to use the money to buy books so that the children in the village could learn more about the outside world from the books and broaden their horizons.
Grandpa Qi and a few of his old friends sat at the door of the cowshed, watching the men carrying trees down from the mountain, and they couldn't stop laughing.
Their village will have a new school in the future, and these children will no longer be worried about the houses collapsing due to heavy snow when they go to school.
Xiao Mo and his brothers were also helping to cut trees on the mountain, and Xu An and Jianhua helped to carry them down.
There are two old men living in the cowshed now. They just feed the cows and don't have to work in the fields. The grass and feed for the cows are also brought by the villagers.
There is no one left in the Youth League Home. All the educated youth have returned to the city. Those who failed to get into university have also used their connections to return home in the past two years.
This place is far from the village and the villagers don't want to move here, so the houses in the Youth League Home have been empty. No one has lived here for two or three years and it looks more and more dilapidated.
Jianhua saw Xiao An staring at the Youth Courtyard, so he smiled and said, "No one lives here now. After you left, the remaining people also returned to the city one after another."
He remembered something and asked with a smile, "Do you still remember the two beauties in your Youth League House? They were the two aunts and nieces who married into the next village."
Xu An smiled and nodded, "Remember, Chunhua and Jiaohua, have they returned to the city as well?"
“No, when I came back for the Chinese New Year, I went to my sister’s house and heard her say that they had studied for two years but still failed to get into university.
Chunhua should have accepted her fate, but her aunt Jiaohua kept asking to divorce her husband and return to the city.
After being beaten several times by her husband, she now dares not even mention going back. ”
Xu An was pushing the cart in the back, smiling but not saying anything. He had no feelings for the aunt and nephew.
When there was no hope of returning to the city, she chose to marry someone else. Now that she has the chance to return to the city, she wants to abandon the man and children in the countryside. I really don't know how to evaluate such a person.
After breakfast the next morning, Xiao An and Xiao Mo did not go to the mountain to help. They wanted to go to the city to visit their brother Jianshe's house.
Deliver the things that their sister brought for Sister Hongying and Sister Hongmei.
While washing the dishes, Xiao Mo said to Xiao An who was packing up, "Brother, I have a few dresses in my bag. You can take them out too. These are for Sister Hongying and Sister Hongmei."
"Okay, I see. Do you still have the canned braised pork we brought?"
"Yes, they are in the cabinet. I left four, two for Sister Hongmei and Sister Hongying."
Xu An looked at the gifts he had packed and nodded, "I'll buy some more fruit on the way, and that should be enough."
Xiao Mo washed the dishes, shook off the water on his hands, ran over and asked Grandpa Qi, "Grandpa Qi, do you want to go to the city with us?"
Grandpa Qi smiled and waved his hand, "I'm not going. You guys go. I want to stay home and talk to some of my old friends."
"Well, my second brother and I may not be back for lunch, so you can make some food for yourself."
"Don't worry, go into the city and have fun, don't worry about me. I'm such a grown-up, how can I starve myself?"
The two brothers each carried a bag and went to the city. They first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Sister Hongying.
Su Hongying was weighing out snacks for someone. When she saw two people come in, she didn't recognize them at first and asked unenthusiastically, "What do you two want to buy?"
Xiao Mo looked at Sister Hongying's attitude towards doing business and sighed in his heart.
If they were his brothers, they would greet customers who came to buy clothes like this.
He will definitely give them a scolding and deduct their salary. If they still don't repent, he will simply fire them.
Xu An glanced at him and knew that this kid had his occupational disease recurring. He suppressed his laughter and called out, "Sister Hongying."
Su Hongying looked up and saw that it was him. She asked in surprise, "Oh, it's Xiao An. When did you come back? Where's your sister? Did she come back?"
Listening to her series of questions, Xu An smiled and said, "Sister Hongying, we have been back for two days. My sister didn't come this time, so Xiao Mo and I came back to visit."
