Chen Guoliang was very unhappy this year, although his daughter explained it, and he believed it, but the people in the village didn't believe it.

Chen Guoliang only had a primary school diploma, there was no teacher in the village that year, and he knew a few words, so he was driven to the shelves by the village party secretary, but he didn't expect to work for 20 years.

At the beginning, the salary was 1 yuan a month, plus 1 work point per day, and the brigade (village) would give a little more food at the end of the year. Until now, there is a salary of 7 yuan a month, and there is no subsidy - even so, the salary is often in arrears, and I don't know how the local government is short of that money.

This is the private teacher.

Chen Guoliang's proudest thing in his life is that he sent a son and a daughter to a secondary school.

In the 80s, the technical secondary school had to study for four years, and in the first year, all the basic courses of high school were completed, and the remaining three years were professional courses (equivalent to undergraduate content). Not to mention the distribution after graduation, you can also get a cadre establishment, which is a good opportunity for the children of rural areas and small counties to turn over.

In order to send his children to secondary school, Chen Guoliang has already taken on a lot of debts, and if it weren't for the help of his sister in the city, he wouldn't be able to survive at all.

It's a pity that the daughter only caught up with the brilliant tail of the secondary school. The food stamps issued by the school are sufficient, but you have to pay extra money when you eat, and you will not have food with only food stamps. After graduation, there was no cadre establishment, so she could only be assigned to a cotton mill as an ordinary female worker, and she was laid off miserably.

The son is even worse, now the secondary school is basically equivalent to high Chinese, although the package is distributed, but the devil knows which broken factory to be distributed.

To tell the truth, whether it is Chen Tao or Chen Shi, the knowledge learned by the sisters and brothers is no worse than that of ordinary undergraduates, they are just unlucky.

Fortunately, rumors have spread throughout the village, even in the city, and the whole family is afraid to go out.

Hearing the commotion outside, Chen Guoliang asked his son, "What's going on again?"

Chen Shi went out and took a few looks: "There are a lot of people here, just outside the school." There was also a man in a suit, as if he was mentioning his sister's name, and the village party secretary was next to him. ”

"I'll go out and have a look. Chen Guoliang got up and said.

"Don't cause trouble. "My wife was busy shouting that she was not in good health and often needed bed rest.

Chen Tao was reading a book in his room, walked to the hall with a smile and said, "Maybe my boss is here." ”

Chen Guoliang asked, "Is that the one you called him yesterday when you went to town?"

"Well, it's him," Chen Tao walked out happily, "Dad, you can rest assured." When he comes, he is sure that any problem can be solved. ”

"He's not a god. Chen Guoliang obviously didn't believe it.

Chen Tao smiled: "He is sometimes an immortal, and he can deceive the dead into life." ”

Chen Shi hurriedly followed and asked, "Sister, is your boss still short of people?" I don't want to stay in school. ”

"Nonsense, in order to keep you in school, your sister stuffed thousands of yuan into the principal!" Chen Guoliang immediately scolded, in his concept, it is still more reliable to have an iron rice bowl.

The three of them walked a few more steps, and they heard Song Weiyang pointing to the school and saying: "Knowledge changes fate, not to mention that you will definitely make a lot of money after reading, but literacy is better than illiteracy." Let me tell you, if your children go to work in the city in the future, they will be able to remember and calculate, and their wages will increase faster. If anyone is smart and valued by the boss, then they must be educated, otherwise even if the boss wants to promote you, you will not be able to do it yourself. ”

The villagers were giggling and laughing, but they didn't take Song Weiyang's words seriously, because there was no concept of going to the city to work in the village at all.

The reason why these people have the patience to listen to Song Weiyang's speech is because Song Weiyang is rich, and they are still in the shock of Chen Tao's idea of earning more than 100,000 yuan.

"Okay, well said, worthy of being a big boss!" Only the village party secretary enthusiastically cheered.

Song Weiyang didn't have much interest in talking, and said to the village party secretary: "This school is too broken, I will donate 5,000 yuan to install window glass for the classroom, and then renovate the roof." You can't let students be exposed to the wind and rain, so that they can study with peace of mind!"

The village party secretary hurriedly bent down and saluted: "Thank you for the big boss's support to the school, I bow to you on behalf of the people of the village!"

Maybe Song Weiyang was too generous before, and now he donates 5,000 yuan, but the villagers don't react much, or it may be that the renovation of the school has nothing to do with them.

When these people saw Chen Tao appear, they immediately rushed over, all kinds of praise, all kinds of envy and flattery.

It was all praise, which was completely different from yesterday, which made Chen Guoliang a little uncomfortable, and soon chatted with the villagers with a smile, and everyone seemed to have rumored at all.

Dinner was eaten at the village party secretary's house, and the chickens and ducks were slaughtered for hospitality, and Zheng Xuehong was responsible for fighting wine and drinking meat and vegetables.

Song Weiyang also drank a few glasses, walked to the courtyard to blow the wind and sober up, and Chen Tao followed out at some point.

"Isn't it a little unaccustomed?" Chen Tao suddenly revealed his inferiority, "The village only had electricity three years ago, and now there is not even a TV. Last time Brother Zheng sent me back, I insisted that he wait in the town, just because I was afraid that he would look down on me. ”

Song Weiyang sat on the stone steps and said with emotion: "It's not easy for you, you grew up in such a backward environment, and you can still be admitted to the secondary school." ”

"It's okay, after all, my dad is a teacher. Chen Tao said.

"It's not terrible to be backward economically, it's terrible to be backward in thinking," Song Weiyang said, "This afternoon I said that I would donate money to renovate the school, but those villagers didn't react, and I felt cold in my vest at that time." ”

Chen Tao smiled bitterly: "You say that knowledge changes fate, but in fact, everyone in the village understands it." When my brother and I were admitted to the secondary school, they were very envious, but after envy, they still had to do something. For example, they know that they can make a profit by studying, just as they know that they can pick up money on the road. That hope was so slim, so small, that they didn't even dare to think about it. If the children of any family are really smart and show amazing learning talents, they will sell their blood for the sake of their children. ”

"Maybe, but the environment is too bad," Mr. Song said, "not the economic environment, but the public opinion environment." They feel that their children are not the material for reading, so they say that reading is useless, and over time, the children will believe it, and this concept is deeply rooted in the bones. ”

Chen Tao nodded and said, "That's right." When I was studying in the village, there was a classmate in my class who had better grades than me, but it was far worse than the students in the town. He was so smart that he didn't read until the fifth grade, he didn't read it himself, he said it was useless to read, he went to work as an apprentice to a carpenter, and now he is a carpenter. I'm different, except when the farm is busy, my dad usually doesn't let me work, and always forces me to read my homework. In this way, I went to junior high school, and my grades got better and better, and I finally got out of the mountains. ”

"Hehe," Song Weiyang suddenly laughed twice, "Don't talk about such a heavy topic, let's discuss how to take revenge." What's that called...... Sun?"

"Sun Lin. Chen Tao said.

"Yes, Sun Lin," Song Weiyang said, "this person has to be arrested, and he can't be tricked into going to Shencheng to be a young lady anymore." ”

Chen Tao said: "It's a little difficult, he won't admit it." Those female workers who became young ladies, although they were deceived in the past, now help him speak, and they don't admit that there is such a thing at all. ”

Song Weiyang smiled: "Since you can't be reasonable, then throw money." ”

"Throwing money?" Chen Tao couldn't understand.

Song Weiyang said: "What can be solved with money, then it is not a matter at all! Go back to sleep, and get up early tomorrow to enter the city." ”

Song Weiyang got up and patted the dust on his buttocks, he lived in the village party secretary's house tonight.

Chen Tao looked at the starry sky, then at Song Weiyang's back, and said: "The beautiful scenery of the good day, I don't understand the customs, I don't know how to talk about it!"
