Shen Nan's first impression of Guogouli Village is described in only four words, that is: poor countryside.

It was a really poor, low-slung house with shabby gray thick tiles, stone walls, and even a few thatched huts.

The road is narrow and potholes, and it is easy to stumble when you walk in a hurry.

There is only one small shop in the whole village, and the things are not complete, except for the necessities of life such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, there is not even bread and ham sausages, Shen Nanzhi regrets not buying something to eat, and he is hungry now.

Shen Nan changed the car four times and walked more than 20 kilometers on the mountain road before coming here, because when he mentioned Guogouli Village, the taxi driver did not come and refused to take the car! From the time he set off to get here, Shen Nan spent two and a half days.

When he first walked into the village, Shen Nan thought that he had traveled back to the era after liberation!

In a small ditch with little water at the entrance of the village, four or five dirty children were playing in the water and catching fish, playing happily, and when they saw Shen Nan, they all stopped to look at Shen Nan, and their eyes were timid and curious.

"Children, an uncle from another village came a few days ago, do you know where it is?" Shen Nan asked the children.

"At Guo Laosan's house!" a bold child shouted to Shen Nan.

"Who is Guo Laosan?" Shen Nan asked again.

The child was stunned, who is Guo Laosan? He doesn't know, Guo Laosan is Guo Laosan, who else can it be?

"Guo Laosan is Guo Laosan! Open a small store, just in the east of the village. The child didn't know how to answer, so he could only show Shen Nan another way.

In this way, Shen Nan came to Guo Laosan's shop.

Guo Laosan and Tian Haochen went out, saying that they were choosing the school site, and only Guo Laosan's mother-in-law was at home.

"Where did you go?" asked Shen Nan.

"It seems that there is a reed pond in the mud, and Oda says that it is good there. Guo Laosan's mother-in-law said: "You are hungry, you have come all the way to us, and you can't get a car, so I will get you some food." ”

"Thank you, auntie, I'm really hungry. For Aunt Guo's proposal, Shen Nan really couldn't ask for it, and hurriedly thanked him.

Soon, the food was ready, three corn, two sweet potatoes, and a pot of soup, I don't know what soup, the green plant chopstick-like length was put in the soup, although it was not oily, but it looked like a special appetite.

Shen Nan thanked him again, picked up a piece of corn and gnawed it, he was really hungry!

Before a piece of corn was finished, two people came in from outside the door, one of them saw Shen Zhen and asked tentatively, "House?"

As soon as Shen Nan turned around, he saw a dark and thin middle-aged man of about one meter eight and a young man with a tiger's head.

The middle-aged man has a lot of furrows on his face, and his skin is dark, and he looks like he has been exposed to the wind and sun all day long, presumably Guo Laosan, and the young man is less than thirty, and his skin is also a little dark, but it is obviously sunburned in the past few days, presumably Huihui.

"Huihui?" Shen Nan stood up and asked.

"Haha! house, it's really you!" Tian Haochen said happily: "It seems that I will introduce you to you, this is the third uncle, the head of this village." ”

"Hello third uncle. Shen Nan said hello.

"You're good. Guo Laosan's voice was very rough, but very honest and calm.

"This is the house, it's a writer, we all call him that, he's the funder this time. Tian Haochen introduced Shen Nan again.

"Thank you. Guo Laosan looked a little overwhelmed, wanted to stretch out his hand to shake hands with Shen Nan, but hesitated and put it down, maybe he was a little nervous when he saw the gold owner, or maybe it was because his hands were too thick and he was not very embarrassed.

Shen Nan quickly stretched out his hand and held Guo Laosan's hand that had not yet fallen: "Third uncle, my name is Shen Nan, just call me Xiao Shen, fortunately." ”

"My name is Guo Laosan, and I am fortunate to meet you. Guo Laosan grinned innocently, revealing a mouthful of teeth that had been yellowed by dry smoke.

After that, it became a tea party, and the three of them discussed the matter of running a school while eating.

"Alas, you can tell the truth at all, you didn't think at all, you didn't dare to think about it, at first you thought that Xiao Tian was a liar, but then you thought, we are so poor, what can we deceive? Don't laugh at us, the poor just have no ambition. Guo Laosan took a sip of inferior liquor and said.

His eyes, already red from inferior wine, seemed to be even redder.

"Third uncle, don't say that, fate can be changed, people have to live with hope, right?" Shen Nan said with a smile: "Third uncle, come, give me some time." ”

Shen Nan said and handed his empty bowl to Guo Laosan.

"This wine is not good. Guo Laosan was a little embarrassed, he felt a little unkind to entertain distinguished guests with this kind of coarse wine of one yuan and one catty.

"On the whole. Shen Nan smiled.

"Cheng!" Guo Laosan showed a sincere smile again and grinned.

Shen Nan picked up the wine bowl that was about two taels of turbid wine and took a sip: "Hey, this wine is strong enough, and the wine outside is really light like water compared to this!"

Shen Nan pouted for a moment and grinned.

Guo Laosan didn't speak, and then took a big sip, and his eyes seemed to be even redder.

"Haochen, have you chosen the school site?" Shen Nan had already confessed his real name to Huihui.

"Well, that's a good place, so be it. Tian Haochen said.

"Okay, listen to you. Shen Nan nodded.

"Third uncle, can the children from our nearby villages come here to go to school?" Shen Nan said to Guo Laosan again: "There are too few children in our village, and the school can't be built too small, so we have to find some children to study." ”

"There are two villages nearby, there are about 50 children who should study, more than ten miles apart, but those two villages are also very poor and can't afford to pay the tuition. Guo Laosan said.

"Third uncle, no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, the child should study, you have to study, knowledge is power, and only reading can change your fate, in order to change the status quo of your villages, you have to worry about this matter, help mobilize and mobilize. Shen Nan put down the corn cob and said.

"But...... Alas!" Guo Laosan wanted to speak and stopped, and sighed heavily.

Shen Nan suddenly said with a smile: "That's the case, our school is a hope primary school, no fees, in addition, we will also recruit volunteers who can come to teach to enrich the teachers here, you tell them, free reading, and housing! But there is only one condition, that is, I will study well!"

Hearing Shen Nan say this, Guo Laosan drank all the wine in the bowl without saying a word, and then put the bowl on the table heavily, and said loudly: "Fuck it! Leave this matter to Lao Tzu! If anyone dares to study hard, Lao Tzu will fuck him!"

This honest and honest man who has never straightened up in his life finally revealed the manhood that should have belonged to him.

"What are you talking about?" Aunt Guo squinted and turned out of the back room, looking at Guo Laosan with a smile.

"I said him. Guo Laosan suddenly withered, and the spirit just now disappeared in an instant.

Tian Haochen and Shen Nan glanced at each other and laughed.

Several people chatted all afternoon, about the size of the school, the configuration of teaching materials, tables, chairs and utensils and so on.

The thing must have been bought by Shen Nan, and he was worried about the construction team, but later Guo Laosan said that there were a few old craftsmen in the village, plus craftsmen from other villages, and it was enough to bring the rest of the people from a few villages to do small work.

Shen Nan said that this is okay, but if you want to pay the salary, you can give less, but you must give, Guo Laosan disagreed at first, but Shen Nan insisted, and finally Guo Laosan also compromised.

Shen Nan stayed for a total of two days and left, 300,000 plus Tian Haochen out of 100,000, a total of 400,000 is not enough, come here to see it with his own eyes, Shen Nan is even more determined to do a good job of education here, so he wants to go back and hurry up to make money.

Tian Haochen continued to stay in Guogouli Village, on the day he left, Guo Laosan sent Shen Nan out of the village and sent him again and again, until Shen Nan urged him to go back, and the most he said on the way was: Thank you.
