Chen Houde was stunned when he saw the four people, two of these four people were known to Chen Houde, which middle-aged lady with a slightly chubby figure and a pair of glasses was Chen Houde's homeroom teacher Wu Yulian.

The other, thin and tall, with a gray face, and a pair of slightly raised eyebrows that gave people a stern feeling was Cao Qingyang, the principal of Mohe No. 1 Middle School.

As for the other two, one is fat with a fat head and big ears, giving people a sense of majesty and oppression. There was only one left, carrying a briefcase in his hand, a strong man with dark skin and an ordinary appearance.

The three of them followed the fat man and slowly walked towards the square, and Chen Houde immediately got up from his seat and greeted him.

Chen Houde stood more than a meter away from the four of them and said, "The principal is good, Teacher Wu is good." Then he smiled and nodded to the other two.

At this time, Wu Yulian smiled and approached the fat man and said, "Director, this is our county's college entrance examination champion Chen Houde." Then he turned his head to Chen Houde and said, "Chen Houde, this is Deputy Director Chen of the Education Bureau, and you are from our own family." ”

When Chen Houde heard that it was the deputy director of the Education Bureau, he immediately looked at Deputy Director Chen and said a little shyly: "Hello, Director." ”

When Deputy Director Chen heard this "salutation", his eyebrows opened and his eyes opened, stretched out a fat white and chubby hand, and said: "Classmate Chen is amazing! I have won glory for our county, and I am here on behalf of the county Education Bureau to express my condolences and condolences to you, the champion of the county." ”

Seeing this, Chen Houde immediately greeted him, stretched out his hands and gently shook Deputy Director Chen's fat hand, and said a little restrained: "Hard work Director." ”

The biggest official Chen Houde saw was Principal Cao of No. 1 Middle School, and he really didn't know how to deal with the deputy director of the Education Bureau all of a sudden.

Fortunately, at this time, the village chief and Chen Houde's father walked up. Chen Houde hurriedly introduced to the three of them: "Director, principal, teacher Wu, this is Chen Dafu Chen, the village chief of our Chenjiazhuang, and this is my father Chen Dangsheng. ”

The village chief is a tall, powerful, unusually dark-skinned, and somewhat vicious middle-aged man.

As the saying goes: the face is disgusting and good! Although the village chief has an evil appearance, he is still very good to the villagers.

The villagers also loved and believed in him very much. In this poor and remote place, as the head of a village, he really can't deter and subdue this group of people.

But then again, Chen Zhi's appearance and his father Chen Dafu's appearance are really two extremes. My father was tall, he was short, one was fierce, the other was sharp-beaked, and he had monkey gills in common, which was as ugly as he was.

Just because of the appearance of the father and son, they were not less arranged by the villagers to say things like "Daddy Bear gave birth to a cub". This also made Chen Zhi not treat the villagers very well, and only played with Chen Houde and Chen Dali since he was a child.

Chen Dafu should have heard what Ms. Wu Yulian said before, and knew that this fat person was the deputy director of the county education bureau. So without waiting for Chen Houde's introduction, he hurriedly walked up and said, "Welcome Director Chen and President Cao to come and inspect the work." ”

Principal Cao echoed: "The village chief is polite, I came with the leader to express my condolences to the champion of our county." ”

"Village Chief Chen, is this meeting for our champion?" said Director Chen, looking at the banquet

"Yes, yes, it is difficult to find a college student in our village, so the villagers held this banquet together to celebrate, celebrate. "Champion! When will Houde become the champion?" Chen Dafu said with doubts

"It's better to come early than to come by chance. We're here to attend this banquet. Director Chen said with a smile

When the village chief was confused, Ms. Wu Yulian said, "We originally planned to come to visit our county champion in a few days. But it just so happened that I saw that the village chief, you were making a big purchase in the county yesterday, and I found out that you were holding a banquet for our county champion. So, I talked to the leaders. ”

"Village Chief Chen, we are here to eat wild meat, you can't be stingy. At this time, Principal Cao also said

"Principal Cao, where is this, the leaders can come to our village, it is an honor for our village to look up to our village. The village chief suddenly realized that he had come here because he knew that the banquet was held today.

"Don't stand, the banquet will start soon, let's sit down and talk while eating. Chen Houde's father suddenly interjected

"Yes, yes, yes, I forgot about my happiness, the leaders, please. The village chief led the chiefs to the table at the front of the square......

There are eight people at this table, four leaders, Chen Houde's family of three plus the village head. After everyone sat down, the village chief asked, "Hello Director Chen, are we going to have a banquet?"

"I'm here today with a mission, so let's talk to my fellow villagers for a while. ”

"Okay"

The village chief got up from his seat and walked to the center of the square, and said in a loud voice: "Folks, everyone be quiet. The villagers stopped talking and fighting and turned their eyes to the village chief.

"Today is our village to hold a banquet for Comrade Chen Houde to celebrate the final emergence of a college student in our village.

However, Comrade Chen Houde was admitted to the university in a hurry, and he was still the top student in the college entrance examination in our county. The county education bureau has sent leaders to express condolences to Comrade Chen Houde. The village chief turned his gaze to Director Chen and continued: "Now we have invited Director Chen of the County Education Bureau to speak for us, and everyone applauds and welcomes. ”

The village chief finally finished speaking, and the villagers also burst into warm applause.

Director Chen walked up to the village chief, coughed a little, and then spoke in a voice large enough for the villagers to hear:

"Dear folks, good afternoon, I am honored to stand here today on behalf of our county education bureau to award a scholarship to Chen Houde for winning the top prize in our county college entrance examination.

Chen Houde is the pride of our county, and it is also the pride of yours. Who said that useless students are scholars, Chen Houde used his own actions to show that reading is promising, and reading can improve our lives.

Although reading is not the only way out, it is the best way out.

I won't say too much about this not a formal scene, and finally there is a request, that is, I implore the parents and villagers to give the children more opportunities to study. Today's opportunity to read a book may change the fate of their lives.

Reading is hard for a while, and not reading is hard for a lifetime.

That's all I have to say, and I would like to invite our classmate Chen Houde to come and receive the scholarship. ”

The reason why Director Chen said this is because of the tasks assigned by the above, and because the villages do not pay attention to the education of children now.

Most of the villagers still hold that they can let their children read and write, and they don't want their children to be able to read and write.

This has also led to many children who have completed or not completed junior high school to drop out of school and return home to farm, hunt or go out to work. I didn't even think about going to university, and I felt that studying was a burden on my family and a waste of time.

The dark-skinned strong man with a briefcase and Chen Houde got up and walked to Director Chen's side.

I saw the strong man open the briefcase, take out a pile of 100 yuan bills from it and hand it to Director Chen.

Director Chen took the banknote and continued: "The 5,000 yuan is the affirmation of Chen Houde by the County Education Bureau, and I hope that Chen Houde can continue to stand out among the students of Fudan University, and strive for greater glory and pride for our county." After speaking, he put the pile of 100 yuan bills in Chen Houde's hand with both hands.

When the old folks heard the 5,000 yuan, everyone was surprised and couldn't keep their mouths shut. At that time, the ordinary salary in the county was only one or two hundred, and five thousand yuan could be said to be a huge amount of money. Everyone turned their eyes to the pile of hundred-yuan bills in Chen Houde's hand, and they were jealous, envious, and red-eyed、、、、

Everyone burst into applause. Director Chen said with everyone's performance in his eyes.

Director Chen is to stimulate the villagers and let them know that reading is promising and promising. Dispel their old idea that reading is literacy, and inspire them to let their children read and pursue higher knowledge.

Director Chen looked at Chen Houde and said, "Chen Houde, tell me your thoughts to my fathers and fellow villagers!"

Chen Houde opened his clear and agile eyes, and replied with a slight sluggishness: "Ah! "Obviously haven't recovered from the 5,000 scholarship yet.

"I would like to thank the County Education Bureau for the help it has given me, and I would also like to thank Director Chen, Principal Cao, Teacher Wu and this eldest brother for taking the trouble to come and give me frequent scholarships. In the days to come, I will work harder and study hard to repay you! Thank you!" Chen Houde said with a little stage fright

At this time, the village chief executive announced with the consent of Director Chen: "Now let's set off firecrackers and start the banquet." ”

After the firecrackers are fired, all kinds of delicacies are served on the table, which makes people salivate, look forward to it, and move their index fingers.

"Leaders, this is pheasant stewed mushrooms, this is fried roe deer meat, this is braised rabbit, this is braised wild boar trotters, this wild boar is still set back by our classmate Chen Houde this morning, the leaders hurry up and use chopsticks to try ......" the village chief introduced to the leaders one by one

"Then I'm going to try, it seems that Chen Houde is not only good at learning, but also an expert hunter. ”

"Chen Houde is still an all-rounder. ”

"This is a class that can be hunted, and a hunt can be hunted."

………………………………………………

………………………………………………

Everyone was full of praise for Chen Houde. At this time, Principal Cao suddenly said to Chen Houde: "Student Chen, I have an uninvited request, I hope you can agree." ”

"President Cao, please say, I will do what I can do. ”

"That's right, the students in the third year of high school will come back to make up for the class on August 1st, and I hope that you can give these juniors some encouragement and learning experience at that time. ”

"Principal Cao, I'm afraid that I won't speak well and mislead people's children. ”

"It's just for you to share your learning methods and learning experiences with your younger students, and you can just tell the truth when the time comes. You don't want to hide it, do you?" said Principal Cao.

"How dare I, principal, I'm not afraid of delaying the younger students............

"Okay, okay, if it's not a private collection, then it's decided, remember to come here on August 1st, and the speech will be held at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, remember not to be late." Principal Cao clapped his hands and said

"Headmaster, I ............"

"I agree with this, an excellent student like Chen Houde should communicate more with his classmates about learning methods, so that students can make progress together. Director Chen said suddenly

Chen Houde could only hold back his words and agree to the speech.
