At the beginning of 2012, Mocun developed the idle land through investment, and within two months, someone on the idle land began to start construction and prepare to build a real estate. As soon as the land moved, the idle land around it also began to be active, and various commercial buildings had to be built there. Later, the town directly reserved the vacant land around the real estate, saying that it would relocate the farmers on the mountain next year, and planned to build resettlement houses on those few plots of land. Suddenly, there was a tendency to form market towns.

Mocun also began to build the ancient town according to the blueprint, demolished and built, and by August and September, the construction of the ancient town had almost been completed. Peach blossom saplings were planted on both sides of the road, all of which Zhong Xiu had planted on the barren mountain last year, and in the autumn of this year, the village committee bought them directly and transplanted them to the side of the road. Just waiting for the flowers to bloom in the coming year, Mo Village will become a peach blossom village. It just so happens that the tourism project of Taoyuan Village will also be officially opened to the public next spring.

The village has developed in a hurry, and Mocun Primary School has encountered a major crisis. Since last year, the number of students in Mocun Primary School has decreased sharply, and I heard that the students in the third and fourth grades will basically go to school in the town this summer, and this year's students will show a downward trend. The people in Mocun began to think about this question again: Is Mocun Primary School still left?

What's worse is that the people in Mo Village began to notice that Principal Huang was a little abnormal, and often greeted him when he picked up the children, talking about yesterday or the day before yesterday, and Principal Huang didn't remember anything. Even the students also reported that Principal Huang was in a daze from time to time in class, and his memory was not as good as before. I'm afraid this school won't be able to run anymore.

Secretary Zhang said that he had joined forces with several nearby villages to apply for the construction of a village public school, and asked everyone to wait first. Because the problem of young children not being able to go to school in the town remotely is not only in Mo Village, but also in several nearby villages. Moreover, the resettlement houses in several nearby villages are now surrounded by the market town under construction, which also happens to be the intersection of several nearby villages. Therefore, it is necessary and feasible to build a public school near the market town.

This not only integrates the educational resources of each village, but also solves the problem that the village is far away from the town and it is difficult for children to go to school. However, the county and town are still dragging on for the old reasons, one is to vigorously develop the town's primary and secondary schools, and the other is that there is no extra construction funds, and the project funding support is not easy to find. Secretary Zhang did not give up, so he united with the secretaries of several other villages to continue to run up and down.

The question of Mocun Primary School is still unresolved, and naturally, the question of whether the primary school will be repaired has also been delayed. It wasn't until August that several heavy rainstorms fell, and a building in Mocun Primary School finally couldn't hold on and collapsed. Fortunately, it was during the summer vacation, and it didn't hurt anyone. The situation of the other two houses is also precarious.

Principal Huang was anxious at that time, what if the students were smashed during class when the school started? I went to ask Secretary Zhang many times about the situation of the public school, and all I got was a disappointing answer. Principal Huang immediately gritted his teeth and said that he had spent money to renovate the school. Secretary Zhang thought about it carefully and said that he should not worry, and then wait.

"Wait, wait, wait and school will start. That's it, I funded a private school. Principal Huang made a quick decision, he was afraid that if he waited any longer, he would really be confused, and when the time came, it would be useless to say anything.

Secretary Zhang saw that Principal Huang was so urgent, and said worriedly: "Old Huang, running a private school requires a lot of money." A few of our old secretaries went to the county town to run around and get a public school qualification. ”

Principal Huang clapped his hands and said: "It's okay, I sold this old house, plus so many years of savings, I just made some money in the past two years, how can I build two small buildings to become a school." "Principal Huang's family was relatively wealthy, and he left him more than a dozen acres of land, but since he was alone, he has transferred the land, and the annual rent is a lot, and he is lonely and thrifty, so he has saved all this money, which is also a lot of money.

Secretary Zhang held his hand and said in a trembling voice: "Lao Huang, where did you sell your old house and live? Selling the house to save money is spread out to us as village cadres." ”

"I've wanted to do this for a long time. Most of the children in our village go to school in the town, and it is not good to use the village money to build a primary school for some people's children to study. At the end of the public school, the daylilies are cold, and I don't know how many babies can't go to school. It's better to do it yourself, come faster. Principal Huang spoke to Secretary Zhang very sensibly, "You say, I am a lonely old man, after I die, who will leave this house and money to? I will live in that school from now on, and I will stay with my baby every day, and I will not be lonely. ”

"But, Lao Huang, have you thought about it? Your current health is not very good, this school has been built, how many years can you take care of it?"

"You don't have to worry about that, I've already thought about it. I'm not the right principal, I plan to let Teacher Geng be it. Principal Huang smiled kindly, looked at Secretary Zhang's shocked face, and continued, "Teacher Geng, I have been watching it for three or four years, he is an honest baby, and he is also dedicated to staying here for our Mocun education. Moreover, his teaching methods are new, he is willing to endure hardships, and he gives this school to Mr. Geng, I think it is no problem. ”

"But he, after all, is from another village......

"What kind of people from other villages, I haven't seen it for a long time and I am also the son-in-law of our village. People are talking to Xiuxiu now, if it weren't for the fact that one was waiting for the village to be built, and the other was waiting for the education to be started, the two of them would have packed up and prepared to get married. Principal Huang was firm and continued, "I won't tell you anything, the people in the village are right, my brain is really unclear and confused. As early as last year, Mr. Geng found out that I had Alzheimer's, and I insisted on letting Mr. Geng hide it. Teacher Geng hid it, not only to take care of me, but also to take care of the school. You say, such a good guy, if you don't give him the school, to whom?"

"There's some truth to what you say. Mr. Geng, a young man, can shoulder responsibility. It's just that your old Huang made a wedding dress for others. ”

"What are you talking about, anyway, it's about education, and this school is there, as long as there is a capable person in charge, it's fine. ”

After listening to this, Secretary Zhang was silent for a long time, and finally slapped the table to express his support: "Since this is the case, Lao Huang, then do as you say." But you can't go all the way to the money alone. I'll go to the county again, pull a sum of money for you to run a school, and find someone to support you. I don't think it's a big deal. ”

Principal Huang immediately smiled and said, "Well, that's really troublesome Secretary Zhang." ”

"I'm going to thank you for solving a big problem for us. Secretary Zhang grabbed Principal Huang's hands tightly and was reluctant to let go for a long time, "It's really a good principal in our village, the old principal!"

After Principal Huang discussed with Secretary Zhang, he found Geng Hao and explained the situation to him during the dinner in the evening. After listening to it at that time, Geng Hao frowned and refused.

"No, I don't dare to hang up on this principal. And it's built with your hard-earned money, I can't pick up this for nothing. Either you're the principal, or you're someone else. ”

Principal Huang immediately frowned and asked him, "Are you also confused? What has become of me, you don't know? After a while, it is completely unclear, I am the principal, what will I do with this school? Are you still thinking about leaving, and refuse to take this broken plate?"

"That's what you said, Headmaster. When is this, if I really wanted to go, I would have left a long time ago. Moreover, Xiuxiu is here, where am I going?" Geng Hao took a bite of food and resolutely disagreed, "Anyway, it's not suitable, I can't do this empty glove white wolf thing." "Even if he agrees, when the school is built, he will be the principal, and if he doesn't gossip about others, Principal Huang's nephews and nephews will have to make trouble with him.

"Who said you were a white wolf with empty gloves?" Principal Huang took a sip of wine, scratched the table with chopsticks, and seriously analyzed him, "I'm cheating on you." I'm going to sell this old house, and I'm going to move to the school, and then I'm seriously ill. You can't take care of me? I'll depend on you for the rest of my life. ”

Geng Haohu looked at him suspiciously, grinned, and shook his head not to listen. Principal Huang immediately hit him on the head with chopsticks: "Could it be that you kid doesn't plan to send me to the end of my life?" I gave you all the school, do you want me to die of illness on the side of the road?"

"Of course not. You have taken such good care of me in the past few years, if I stay in Mo Village in the future, I will definitely not be able to forget you, my parents died early, and there is no old age, it will definitely be no problem to take care of you later. Geng Hao said with a look at the piles, "This is a school, I still can't do it." ”

"You wait for me to finish. Principal Huang slapped him on the arm, "Do you think this school will be over after that? When the time comes, I will run out of money for this school, and if I am short of money in the future, it will be your principal's business. Education is a big hole, and there is a lot of money to be invested in it. If you calculate it so carefully, did I give it to you for nothing? I gave you a bottomless pit, and it depends on whether you dare to take it. ”

That sounds like nothing wrong and makes a lot of sense. It's true that I'm here to pit Geng Hao. However, Geng Hao hesitated even more, he couldn't accept it if he didn't cheat him, how could he accept it? His main source of funds now is to earn a salary as a teacher, if he becomes a principal, where will he make money to support the school?

Principal Huang saw Geng Hao's concern and said, "You can find a way to earn this money again, and if you can't afford it then, you can transfer the school to someone else." I don't know if you'll be up to the challenge. ”

"I'll think again. Geng Hao said, fell into thought, and lowered his head to eat again.

Principal Huang thought that Geng Hao was reluctant to agree, and his eyes showed a disappointed expression, and then he also ate with him, and smiled and comforted, not in a hurry.
