Chapter 203: Still Asking for Money?
Their tricycle had already driven to the entrance of the village, but they saw a lot of people gathered there, all of them mothers-in-law and aunts.
Usually, there are often some old men and old ladies sitting there chatting and basking in the sun at the entrance of their village, but there is really no time when they are all 'women's army' like this.
After greeting Yang Meng one by one, she was about to go home, but was stopped.
"Aunt Zhao, you see I have a cart of things here to send home quickly. I'll chat with you next time!" Yang Meng has been afraid of these aunts in the village since he was a child, and they are all the masters of the Li family of Zhang's family, after all, their life in this small mountain village is boring, and everyone has nothing to do except chat and gossip.
But it's really annoying! No matter what happens to anyone's house, it must add oil and vinegar to their mouths to change the taste------ the old hen at home can become a chicken if the weasel takes it away, and the owner has done a sin and suffered a curse, can you not hide when you meet such a person?
Yang Meng saw them all take a detour since she was a child.
Now seeing them surrounding him with a smile on their faces, Yang Meng felt that his scalp was numb.
"Oh, just let Peng Peng and your sister transport things back, what's the matter with you, when you go out to make a lot of money, you don't want to take care of the old ladies in the family?
Yang Meng surrendered, and asked Xiao Peng and Yang Xiaojing to take home the tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea on the tricycle first, and he took a few cigarettes and some beautifully packaged snacks down: "Aunts, this is the cigarette we bought when we went to Suicheng to play, each person took two boxes home for the men to smoke; β
"Oh, how embarrassing is this!" Aunt Zhao said this, but they didn't stop, and they almost grabbed it one by one, for fear that they wouldn't be able to get it.
Yang Meng coughed dryly: "I don't know what the aunts are looking for me?"
Aunt Zhao put the cigarette in her hand into her pocket and said, "Mengmeng, I heard that you are going to get your sister and the three daughters of the Niu family to go to school in Handong City?"
Yang Meng was stunned: "Who said that?"
Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "Don't hide it, okay?" β
βγγγγγγ "It turned out that my mother betrayed herself.
"yes, that's the case!"
After Aunt Zhao heard Yang Meng's confirmation, a flower bloomed with a smile on her face: "Mengmeng, your Uncle Zhao has been out to work for so long, and I am alone at home to pull the child, your younger brother should go to high school this year, and he can't do it until now." I think it's just that the education in the town is not good, and you see that you have to run so far to go to school, why don't you let him go to school in the city, you have this relationship, and you want to find a way to help your old brother who is not successful?"
"Oh! it's the same thing in my house!"
"Yes, yes, Mengmeng, it's all from the same village, you can't help but help with this!"
Everyone said babblingly.
Yang Meng was so noisy that her brain hurt, and hurriedly said: "Stop, stop, stop, come one by one, who do I listen to when you are so noisy? I know what you mean, you want your children to go to school in the city, right?"
Aunt Zhao hurriedly signaled everyone to be quiet, looking at Yang Meng with blank eyes, wanting to hear what Yang Meng had to say.
Yang Meng saw that everyone quieted down and explained to everyone: "I did do give my sister and the third child of Xiao Peng's family a matter of going to school in Handong City. But I want to tell you that the level of education in the city is a little higher, but it doesn't mean that anyone can go there. The child's original grades must be reasonable, otherwise the school will not accept it. β
Aunt Zhao frowned: "Mengmeng, aren't you perfunctory to us? Who doesn't know that the third child of the Xiao family has dropped out of school? She can go to school, and other people's children can't study poorly?"
After listening to her words, the aunts and aunts next to her began to echo one after another.
In a village like Zhushanzi Village, although many families used to have good family education, after so many years, there are all kinds of people now. There are both Niu Lao Er and Yang Tiejun who attach importance to children's education, but most of them think that children are capable of making money early.
Hearing Yang Meng say that she wanted to see her children's grades, Aunt Zhao was anxious: In general, most of the children in Zhuangshanzi Village did not have good academic performance when they went to school. If you want to go through the formal procedures to borrow from a good school, you can't pass the first hurdle!
Yang Meng thought for a moment: "Well, if you look for a relationship, it's not that there is no chance at all." But I can't guarantee that it will work, so I'll ask you to get your children's list and report cards ready. β
It's all from the villagers, so you still have to help if you can help. Yang Meng has worked hard in the city for so many years, and now he understands a truth: poverty is not the original sin, ignorance is the original sin!
Zhuangshanzi Village is poor, and it is not that the above has not thought of a way, and every year there are poverty alleviation funds allocated to help get rid of poverty, and as a result, there are farces one after another.
Someone once proposed to raise goats to get rid of poverty, and Zhuangshanzi is a mountain village, so some people proposed to raise goats to get rid of poverty. The poverty alleviation funds have become a batch of 'poverty alleviation sheep', but when they are distributed, they are afraid that the unfair distribution will cause contradictions, so they simply divide one sheep per person according to the head, and what should be done with the extra sheep? After calculating the average score, five people will share one sheep.
How did those five people divide the sheep? In the end, they simply sold the money and got the money! This could not be stopped at the beginning, and in less than half a year, those 'poor sheep' sold half and ate half of it.
Zhuangshanzi is poor, but not everyone is poor, after all, almost every household has someone working outside, this average sheep, the real poor households because they have been 'average' lost the support of poverty alleviation policies, poverty alleviation funds have been wasted, not to mention, the poor are still poor, empty toss for half a year.
Later, targeted poverty alleviation began, and the lives of those poor households in Zhushanzi Village were better, but there were also problems with this precise poverty alleviation.
For example, the 'old man' in their village, who is an old bachelor and a heavy drinker. At that time, the staff of the Poverty Alleviation Office called him a heart, gave him the best seeds and cultivated land, and sent someone to teach him planting techniques. In his words: It's better to be a poor person, and I don't worry about drinking wine every year to help the poor with precision.
This kind of situation is typical in several nearby villages: some people work in the city to live a good life, but let their parents wait in the village for poverty alleviation policies; there are brothers who are lazy and do nothing, just waiting for poverty alleviation funds to live; and there are also those who hide money but pretend to be poor when their families are not short of moneyγγγγγγ
The people of the Poverty Alleviation Office are not ignorant of these situations, but they are helpless, everyone is a dead pig, and they are not afraid of boiling water, what can you do? In the end, I can only sigh: The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and we still have to help the poor every year!
Human nature likes to take advantage of small advantages, and you expect a group of uneducated people who can't eat enough to worry about the country and the people? This is also unrealistic!
For these villagers, what they care about is that they can find a job closer to their homes and settle down in the city where they workγγγγγγ
And poverty alleviation requires conditions, just like a few villages such as Zhushanzi, you have to rely on small three-wheelers when you go out of the mountains, and you can't transport anything you produce, how can you get rid of poverty?
Now the state has also found that this is not possible, and finally simply sent college students and village officials to the villages to help them get rid of poverty. Xu Xingde is responsible for this task to help Zhuoshanzi Village point-to-point.
The state also sees it: ignorance is the original sin!
The focus of poverty alleviation work should be to cover the rural areas with the government's public services, such as building roads, establishing public transportation, networking, and the Internet, and strengthening medical and educational services. If you simply raise lazy people, it is the biggest injustice to hard-working people!
Of course, although these college students and village officials have more long-term vision and knowledge than the villagers, it does not mean that they will definitely succeed, after all, they are a little young, their experience is not so rich, and they take things for granted.
Laomiao Mountain is rich in forestry resources, and Xu Xingde can think that it is a good thing to make a fuss from these resources, but the problems of transportation and sales have yet to be solved, and it is difficult to succeed in this matter!
But this is also much better than the vision of the people of Zhushanzi Village, didn't I see that so many people in the village still shouted after Yang Meng raised an objection and wanted to do this to make a lot of money?
It is also a good thing to let the children in the village go to the big city to receive education and broaden their horizons, so Yang Meng decided to help with this.
After listening to Yang Meng's clear answer, Aunt Zhao and the others were overjoyed: "Oh, it's still cute, and I live up to the wine-stuffed meatballs that my aunt made for you when I was a child." β
Yang Meng's face was black after hearing this, when did he eat the wine-stuffed balls made by Aunt Zhao? If there was a time opportunity, Yang Meng would definitely travel to that day and stop himself: Don't eat it!
A bowl of wine-stuffed meatballs came out of Aunt Zhao's mouth, which is more precious than dragon liver and phoenix marrow!
Yang Meng just wanted to hurry home now, so she said to Aunt Zhao and the others: "Aunts, I'll go back first, and you give me the statistics of the children, and then I'm ready to borrow the school fee." β
"What?" Aunt Zhao's smile froze on her face: "What fee?"
Yang Meng said: "Borrowing fee." It costs money to go to school in the city, otherwise everyone goes to school in the city, and other schools can't accommodate so many people, right?"
"Well, that's right. Aunt Zhao asked, "How much does it cost?"
"It's not necessarily, anyway, to put it bluntly, the better the school, the higher the cost, and the school I found for my sister is 60,000 yuan a year. Yang Meng replied truthfully.
"How much?" Aunt Zhao almost jumped up after hearing this: "Xiao Yang, you didn't lie to me, did you? Your mother didn't say anything about borrowing fees!"
When she heard the borrowing fee, Aunt Zhao was not called 'Mengmeng' but 'Xiao Yang'.
Yang Meng scratched her head: "I'll handle it for my sister, of course I gave the money, is there a problem with this?" I'll go, Aunt Zhao, don't you mean that I want me to pay you money for sending your child to school in the city, right?"
Aunt Zhao's eyes lit up when she heard it: "You really help my family pay for it?"
Yang Meng: "γγγγγγ β
