Chapter 197: Free Schooling

The car drove slowly on the winding mountain road, and the road was asphalt on the surface, but in fact, many places showed their true colors, and many places were still large and small potholes.

The most difficult thing is to turn the car, don't look at the road is not good, there are a lot of cars coming and going, and they are all large tanker trucks pulling oil, this is a test of car skills, a Land Rover and a Mercedes-Benz front and rear followed up the hill and downhill.

"There's a village in front of us, let's go in and have a look. Martin's voice came over the walkie-talkie, and Wang Nan followed his car onto the dirt road next to it.

"I don't think it's going to be easy to drive any further, so let's get out of the car and hike. ”

The two of them parked their car in a clearing at the edge of the village and walked along a narrower road.

The difference between this place and the city is too great, every house is made of mounds, it is difficult to find a brick house, and children are running all over the ground, Martin pulled a big one and asked, "Do you have a school here?"

"The school is in town thirty miles away. The boy was still a little frightened when he saw someone he didn't know, and struggled to run away.

Wang Nan hurriedly took out a bag of biscuits from the bag he was carrying and handed it over: "You've seen this, it's delicious." ”

The child carefully took it and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and after making sure that there was no problem, he tore open the package and ate it.

"Did you go to school?"

"No, my father said that it is enough to herd the sheep, and it is useless to go to school, so if you can't do it, you can go to the well field to do temporary work, and you can earn a lot. ”

Martin shook his head helplessly, and then asked, "Do you have a village chief in your village?" ”

The child led the two to the village chief's house.

"This village chief's family is so poor, it seems that there is really no oil and water in this village. ”

"Maybe this village chief is a good cadre. ”

The child went in and shouted out a middle-aged man, well, looking at the face, it should be a middle-aged person, he has seen people in the world, and he shook hands when he came up.

"I'm the village chief, what's the matter with the two little brothers coming to our poor and remote place?"

Martin took out a cigarette and handed it over: "There's nothing else, it's just to ask you for a glass of water, I don't know if it's convenient or not." ”

Of course, the village chief knew that cigarettes were good cigarettes, so he hurriedly took them and pinned them behind his ears, and hurriedly let people in the yard: "It's convenient and convenient, I'm afraid that the dirty place will damage your clothes." ”

Wang Nan found the little guy again and said, "You go find some children to come over, I still have a lot of delicious food here, let's eat together." ”

The little one slipped away.

"You two look like children from rich families from big cities, how did you come to us? "The village chief is not stupid, these two people came over to hand out cigarettes and snacks, there must be something, but he can't think of what is going on.

"Uncle, how old are you this year?"

"Don't call me uncle, I'm only thirty years old. ”

Yes...... Martin Wang Nan was stunned, no matter how people who were just thirty years old looked at them, they were in their forties, and their faces were too old.

"Hehe, I am a person who came back from being a soldier, I became the head of this village in my twenties, everyone thinks that I have been outside and have knowledge, but unfortunately I am purely a half-ass, and I have not done anything big for the village over the years. ”

"Those who have been soldiers, no wonder you have such a temperament. ”

"Okay little brother, I'm sorry for what you said. The man's face immediately turned ashamed.

At this time, the child led a group of companions over, and Wang Nan was busy distributing snacks to them.

"Have you ever thought about why we are poor here? ”

"I've thought about it, the poor root is because there is no culture. ”

"Then why don't you build a school in the village?"

"Besides, even if a school is built, who will come to teach in this place, and the village can't afford the salary of other teachers. ”

Martin could see that the village chief of the reincarnation veteran had an idea in his heart, but unfortunately he had no money to stump him.

"Brother village chief, I'll just say it directly, we will pay for the construction of the school, and we will also pay for the teacher, can you get all the children from the surrounding villages to come to school and go to school for free. ”

The village chief stood up suddenly: "What are you talking about, little brother, this matter is not a joke, you can really hire teachers for us to build a school?"

"Yes, you heard it right, the question now is whether you can get all the children to go to school, whether you can keep them studying, or at least finish the junior high school course. ”

"I can, I can, as long as what you say is true, I'll take care of the rest. ”

"Then it's decided, in addition, you have to do a little bit, we bring in the materials and equipment here, you have to take care of it, don't the school has not been built, those materials and everything have been stolen. ”

"Little brother, I'm going to refute what you say, we are an old revolutionary base here, and the quality of the villagers has been passed down from generation to generation, so there is no need for you to worry about it. ”

Martin said apologetically: "That's my heart, I'm sorry, big brother of the village chief, you must not take it to heart, I just want the children here to be able to go to school and study, and they can also make some contributions to the village in the future." ”

"Wow, I'll thank you on behalf of the children. After speaking, the village chief raised his own question: "But I see that you two little brothers are not very old, so you won't make fun of me, a countryman." ”

"Hehe, if it's really a few days, you'll know, now we'll rush back to contact immediately, I estimate that the materials and personnel will enter in three days at most, and then you lead us around to see if there is a suitable venue." ”

The village chief stood up and was about to leave, but then stopped: "You can't be the bosses who want to dig oil wells, we don't have oil here." ”

"Hehehe, we are not digging wells, or simply want to build a school here for us, as for the purpose, it is very simple, this is our hometown, I hope to have more talents, I hope that the future hometown can become better. ”

After choosing the venue, the village chief sent Martin and them to the car, looking at the good car he had never seen before, the village chief had already believed everything, and patted his chest again and promised to do a good job in the school.

Martin and Wang Nan did not return directly, but continued to drive more than 100 kilometers and found another suitable place before returning.

They went directly to the construction site of the new living area of the second factory, found the person in charge of Dongsheng Qiangqiang Construction Group, and asked about the relevant budget and the amount of materials used before leaving.

Martin's idea is that the first two schools will be built into bungalows and brick houses, and the first two schools will be built after the construction of the building, so it is enough to recruit suitable small and medium-sized construction teams from the local area, and the group is still responsible for purchasing materials.
