In the blink of an eye.

Time flies, and soon it will be the time of the annual summer vacation.

During this time, a lot of things happened in a rare calm and leisurely time.

First of all, Muyeyuan's second store has finally opened!

The location is also in the town, but Du Liyuan has worked hard for a long time, but she has not found a suitable and good location.

I can only temporarily open the second store in a relatively remote place.

Because it was opened temporarily, the store is very small, and it is half smaller than the Muyeyuan store.

The reason why I chose to open a small branch is not because Muyeyuan's business is bad.

On the contrary, Mu Yeyuan's business is still booming, and even the number of orders has already been lined up for a month and a half.

If Du Liyuan hadn't deliberately controlled it, it was estimated that it would have been half a year later.

Muyeyuan's business is definitely in urgent need of expansion!

The reason why she opened a small-scale branch was that she learned from Deputy Director Wu Ziyan that a commercial area would be planned in the town in the coming year.

The town's scattered market was converted so that the stalls and vendors had a place to go while concentrating the town's commerce.

So that people in the town can go shopping more conveniently and time-saving.

The entire business district is located right in the very center of the town.

In the future, there will be supermarket chains, large shopping malls, and garment factories...... Food city and much more.

Du Liyuan is planning to bid for a good location in the planned business district and directly expand the scale when the time comes.

Although the scale of the remote second store is not large, Du Liyuan still decorates it with heart.

It is arranged in the same style as the first store in Muyeyuan.

Try to make the customers who come to the second restaurant to dine not feel that there will be a gap in enjoyment compared to the first store.

When the new store opened, almost all the town bosses who had gone to the town together before were present to congratulate them.

Lu Dongye is naturally one of them.

It's just that Yu Honggang, who he has been thinking about, didn't come.

Originally, he also wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Yu Honggang about the canned wild fruits he wanted to make.

But he didn't come, so naturally he couldn't talk about it.

Listening to Du Liyuan, Yu Honggang's mother-in-law's condition seems to have deteriorated, and she can't leave her side at all.

Lu Dongye naturally expressed understanding.

The opening of the second store of Muyeyuan, the happiest person is Liu Zhaoqi's group.

Because the total amount of their work has increased again!

The daily demand of the second store of Muyeyuan only needs 260 catties, which is more than half of the demand of the first store.

This increase is definitely good news for Liu Zhaoqi, a team that is in urgent need of work.

That means they can add at least two workers a day!

Due to the relatively quiet days during this time, Lu Dongye was also the first time to follow Liu Zhaoqi to inspect the village where he lived.

Liu Zhaoqi's village is called: Liangxi Village.

At least from the perspective of the architecture in the village, it is much better than Nanling Village, where Lu Dongye is located.

There is no such thing as the earthen houses of the past in Nanling Mountain Village.

But the conditions are not much better, Liangxi Village is full of stone houses, and even tile houses are relatively rare.

The whole village is basically based on farming.

But it is really not easy for farmers, and most of them can't earn 20,000 yuan after a year of hard farming.

Due to the influence of the ideology that has been passed down from generation to generation in the village, no one in the village will lease out the farmland.

In their opinion, the sacred land handed down from their ancestors is absolutely not allowed to be trampled on by outsiders.

As a result, the whole village is really poor.

At present, the biggest income is to follow Liu Zhaoqi to pick wild fruits in Nanling Mountain Village.

Lu Dongye found that the people in the village were actually very simple, but they were all as simple as Liu Zhaoqi.

He inquired around and found that what made his heart the heaviest was that the educational ideas in the village were also very backward.

In the eyes of almost all the villagers, going to school is useless, and when the children are older, it is most practical to be able to help the family do some work.

Lu Dongye did not express any opinions.

Because he can't control the village.

It's just that I inevitably have some emotion in my heart...... He thought that in today's society, only his own closed small mountain village would have such backward thinking.

Unexpectedly, in a semi-open village like Liangxi Village, this kind of thinking is still circulating.

Lu Dongye is not a saint, nor does he have the ability to be compassionate and compassionate, and it is impossible to help everyone in the world.

The only thing he can be responsible for is Nanling Mountain Village, which he can control.

However, Lu Dongye still said to Liu Zhaoqi in private: "If there is a child in your village who wants to go to school, and the adults in the family really don't have time to take care of it, you can tell them to send the child to me, I don't want money, and I take care of food and lodging." ”

Liu Zhaoqi smiled wryly at that time: "Principal Lu, I know that you are a good person, but going to school depends on what the individual family thinks. ”

Lu Dongye was silent.

Indeed, it is the imprisonment of the mind that is the most troublesome and the most terrible.

Especially for people who are getting older, their way of thinking has been solidified, and it is difficult to convince them.

In this era, the country has opened up free and compulsory education, but some people still feel that it is not worth it and is a waste of time.

This is what Lu Dongye can't do.

"And, Principal Lu, isn't that kid in my family in junior high school in town. ”

Liu Zhaoqi continued: "His grades are not good, and he doesn't want to go to school, so he plans to graduate from junior high school. ”

Lu Dongye understood.

Most of the children from low-level families almost all graduated from junior high school and went out to work.

I am completely unaware of the importance of going to school, and the overall huge changes that it will bring to my whole life after completing it.

Of course, there are many other external factors that affect students' academic paths.

For example, although compulsory education does not charge tuition.

However, miscellaneous expenses, accommodation expenses, and even food expenses are also difficult for some poor families to afford.

Add to that other elements that are difficult to explain, and the inequity of educational resources...... As a result, in today's era, the chances of a noble son from a poor family are getting smaller and smaller.

This may be the fate of the descendants of poor families.

Lu Dongye is just the principal of a primary school, and at most, he can only help children do a good job in basic education.

Of course, he can't do anything about the rest of the education road.

He came to Liangxi Village with the ...... in mind Isn't there a lot of such families in my own Nanling Mountain Village?

Lu Dongye remembered that after this summer, some children in the village should also reach the age of elementary school.

It's just that those families have long gone out to work and have brought their children with them, and I don't know if the children can go to school in the local area where they work.

Every year they will bring their children back for the New Year, and Lu Dongye plans to take advantage of the New Year this year to inquire about this matter.

Strive to ensure that all children in the village who cannot afford to go to school and who do not have school can have at least one basic education.

At the very least, a little more literate and a little arithmetic.

When I grow up and go into society, I can also engage in some simple mental work.

At least, basically he will not be deceived by the lowest level of deception like Liu Zhaoqi.
