Chapter 15: Stepping Stones

"Uncle Songhai?"

It was Yao Zhishu himself who came to open the door.

Jiang Songhai has a high rank in the village, but his sense of existence is really low, he usually goes to the field to plant some fields, goes up the mountain to dig herbs, and will not be idle like others to play cards at the mouth of the village and alleys, and he has never been to Yao Zhishu's house, so when he saw him coming over at night, Yao Zhishu was also shocked.

After looking at it again, "Why did you still carry Jiang Xiao here?"

For Jiang Xiao, Yao Zhishu was impressed. First, because she is the child with the best academic performance in the village, and it is possible to be admitted to a good university in the future to win glory for the village, and second, she is different from other children in the village. It is estimated that there is no white and beautiful girl like her in the village.

In a poor and backward mountain village like Siyang Village, which half-grown girl is not dressed in gray clothes, with slightly dark skin, and rough hands? Because they have to do a lot of housework and farm work, and even there are many children in the village, and when they are sisters, they basically have to help take care of their younger siblings.

But Jiang Xiao dresses very neatly every day, her hair is soft and long, combed into two braids, except for weekends, she wears a school uniform every day, and the school uniform is also cleanly washed, her skin is very white, and she is as delicate as porcelain.

In short, it is very eye-catching in a mountain village.

"Grandpa, let me go. Jiang Xiao got off the ground, almost didn't stand firm, her body shook, Jiang Songhai hurriedly helped her.

Yao Zhishu can see something.

"Good evening, Uncle Zhishu. Jiang Xiao looked up and greeted him. Only then did Yao Zhishu find that her face was pale, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Let's go into the house. ”

The house and yard of the branch secretary are larger than those of the Jiang family, and they are all painted with cement and scraped with white ash, and the hall has been installed with fluorescent tubes, and the incandescent light looks much brighter than the dim light bulb of their house.

The house was also very tidy.

In the hall, there is a dining table on the left, and the table is covered with a plastic mosquito shield. On the right, there are two wooden single sofas against the wall, and a small coffee table in the middle.

There are several wooden stools next to it.

On the coffee table was a stack of materials, with words and pictures, and a fountain pen.

It seems that Yao Zhishu was still working before they came.

After sitting down, Secretary Yao went straight to the point and asked, "Uncle Songhai, do you have something to do?"

Jiang Songhai looked at his granddaughter. In fact, he didn't know what Jiang Xiao was going to do, did he want to sue Secretary Yao?

Jiang Xiao's eyes fell on the stack of materials on the coffee table, and the writing and drawing on a piece of paper on it suddenly reminded her of something.

"Uncle Zhishu, are you painting?"

"Drawing? Yao Zhishu picked up the piece of paper and smiled: "Isn't this the row of old houses in front of our village primary school? The wall facing the school is too dirty, and there are some bear children scribbling there, I just guess if I want to brush it." ”

It's just a trifle. Now Jiang Xiao's heart moved.

Later, the wall was indeed painted with white ash, but because Siyang Village could not find a large propaganda poster, so just wrote a few big characters on it, and the white ash at the root of the wall was dirty again in a few days, because it was facing the school gate, and it could be seen as soon as you left the school gate, which was indeed a bit of an eyesore.

Later, the leaders of the town education office came to Siyang Village Primary School, and one of the principals, who attached great importance to the school environment, also criticized Yao Zhishu for a few words, which made him embarrassed.

It's just a small thing, but it's ......

It can also be used as a stepping stone.
