Chapter 179: The Old People's University in the Village
Speaking of which, the old secretary Zhao learned it from the TV, I don't know where he saw that many places in the city have set up universities for the elderly, so that the elderly can learn, do something, and have fun after retirement. Moved, he immediately shouted to get one in the village.
The University for the Elderly is a special university established to solve the problem of the elderly having something to learn, and all the elderly who go to university are not limited by their education level.
They go to school to cultivate their sentiments, not to solve the problem of promotion and employment, etc. The school's teaching plan and teaching content are completely formulated according to the characteristics and requirements of the elderly, and they can teach what they need to learn and learn what they want.
Through learning, we can achieve the purpose of increasing knowledge, enriching life, cultivating sentiment, promoting health, and serving the society, and give full play to the positive role of universities for the elderly in the construction of socialist spiritual civilization and the construction of a learning society.
During that time, Lao Secretary Zhao followed the devil, and when he met someone all day long, he would talk to others about his great plan - to run a university for the elderly in Wangjiazhuang.
Moreover, this old man who loves more seriously also went to the county to consult the procedures for applying for the university for the elderly. After learning that there is now a precedent for a private university for the elderly, Secretary Zhao, who was inspired, went completely crazy.
On the same day, when he returned to the village, he convened two sets of members of the village committee and formally put forward his plan at the meeting - to establish Wangjiazhuang University for the Elderly.
This trendy and fashionable idea makes many people not understand, but because of the prestige of the old secretary, no one dares to squeak. Who knew that this time the old secretary was not waiting for them to think about how to open his mouth to refute, so he directly made a domineering decision.
"Well, since no one objected, this matter is settled!"
For a while, everyone's eyes widened as Secretary Zhao hurriedly left his seat and ran out, without even having time to announce the dissolution of the meeting.
Build schools. Finding teachers, going through procedures, buying teaching aids, formulating various rules and regulations, arranging the first classes of the University for the Elderly, etc., all of which he did by himself, made the whole person feel like he was twenty years younger, and burst out with great energy.
After a few old buddies in the village listened to him talk about the benefits of going to a university for the elderly, his supporters became unstoppable.
After getting Wang Yong's approval, Secretary Zhao handed over all the other work to others. I threw myself on the preparation for the establishment of the University for the Elderly.
After the village invested 100,000 yuan, and then received 200,000 yuan from Wang Hai, it didn't take half a year for a beautiful university for the elderly covering an area of five acres to officially settle in Wangjiazhuang.
This university for the elderly, located in a secluded place in the south of the village, covers a small area, and the building is only a two-story building and a few small bungalows for the time being, but the facilities inside are definitely quite high-level.
Not to mention anything else, the microcomputer mentioned before cost more than 100,000 yuan in the university for the elderly. Ten IBM computers were purchased and a small computer room was built.
There is also a special cooking class, which has all kinds of kitchen utensils, cooking utensils, pots and pans. Secretary Zhao even dragged Wang Yong to the sanatorium to personally persuade Wang Yong's three masters to go out of the mountain and come to the University for the Elderly to give everyone a cooking class.
This treatment. Even the chefs of those big restaurants in the city have red eyes that they envy!
As for other cultural classes, music classes, calligraphy and painting classes, dance classes. Social classes, and many other niche interest classes, if Wang Yong hadn't stopped them. Tell him that there are not so many people in our village who come to the university for the elderly, and I am afraid that Secretary Zhao wants to make the university for the elderly into a comprehensive university with a complete range of categories.
When it was time to start accepting registrations, there was no need for Secretary Zhao to persuade anything, almost all the old people in the village who were over sixty years old and had nothing to do at home poured into the university for the elderly, and suddenly the university for the elderly became the most lively place in the village.
Especially the two hours from seven to nine o'clock after dinner, which is the busiest time for the old university.
Dozens of elderly people in the village all went out to dance to the music, or show their singing voices, or recite those famous poems that have been passed down through the ages in the university for the elderly......
Only in the microcomputer class, there are very few elderly people. Except for the beginning, after everyone took a class together, and found that they didn't even know the most basic ABCD, except for Secretary Zhao, all the old people decisively gave up the microcomputer class and turned their attention to other courses that they were interested in.
For this, Secretary Zhao was ruthless and simply added a rule. That is, all students in the university for the elderly, must take cultural courses, especially foreign language courses, which are compulsory subjects, must learn a foreign language, and no one can be special.
After the third grandfather and the sixth grandmother, as the most senior people in the village, were told by Secretary Zhao to take the initiative to take foreign language classes, the others could only pinch their noses and blush, so that the young teacher in the classroom followed loudly from the twenty-six English letters of ABCD, and little by little they came into contact with the language of those foreigners who could not understand it.
Within a month of foreign language classes, these old people in the village changed from pinching their noses and being reluctant to actively devote themselves to foreign language learning.
No way, from the first time I came home, pointed to the apple on the coffee table at home and said that it was "Apple" in a foreign language, the most important thing for the whole family was the surprised and admiring gaze of the little grandson, who was in the fourth grade of elementary school, which was so exciting.
Therefore, with the joint efforts of the old people who actively devoted themselves to learning, coupled with Wang Yong's suggestion, and the experienced teachers who went to a special foreign language training institution in the capital, the English of these old people, especially the level of spoken English, rose rapidly.
When people who came to Wangjiazhuang for the first time saw two old people in the village meet, they casually said a bunch of muttering words that they didn't understand, and many people were stunned, and they didn't know that they thought they had met a returning Chinese!
Soon the trend of learning a foreign language began to shift from the elderly to the more receptive children and young people, and for various purposes, almost the entire village took part and began to learn English.
That foreign language training institution saw that this place had a future! He simply proposed to jointly run a school with Wangjiazhuang, and set up a foreign language training course at the university for the elderly here.
Not only in English, Japanese, but also in Russian, French, Italian. As long as someone learns Spanish, or even Arabic, then we can run classes. In this way, it has attracted a lot of parents who want their children to become Jackie Chan, and they want their children to send their children to foreign language classes.
Wangjiazhuang, a small village, has not only independently opened a university for the elderly, but has also done a remarkable job, which has attracted great attention from the whole society.
Many experts and scholars have analyzed the importance of the university for the elderly to the present and future of our country from various aspects. In particular, because of the implementation of family planning, the premise that China is about to face a serious problem of population aging has aroused the fact that the state has begun to pay attention to it.
"You're saying there's a university for the elderly in your village?"
Facing Xiang Dajun's surprise, Wang Yong nodded without replying. In fact. Many people can't believe that a small village with only more than 1,000 people has set up a university for the elderly? What's even more unbelievable is that it's quite prosperous! Where is this reasonable?
Now, this matter has become the proudest and proudest thing for Secretary Zhao. Because Wangjiazhuang University for the Aged is prosperous and famous, many media reporters have made a special trip to interview it.
Moreover, almost all the leaders from the city and county will visit the university for the elderly when they come to the village, and of course, they will praise themselves!
Good environment in the village. The public security is good and the transportation is convenient, which has attracted many old people in the city to run through and sign up.
Up to now, the number of elderly people who are not registered in the village has exceeded 100! The total number of students enrolled in the school has reached more than 160.
Many of these old people in the city gradually fell in love with the rural life in Wangjiazhuang. simply rented a vacant house in the village and experienced the life of a countryman.
In addition to attending classes at the University for the Elderly, the rest of the time, he grows vegetables in his own small courtyard. Watering the flowers, raising a few chickens, ducklings, cats, dogs, or whatever, or going to the neighborhood. Talk about family life, and I can't miss the little days.
In the face of this situation, because there are few houses and many people, it is simply impossible to meet the increasing number of old people who apply to rent a house in the village, which has attracted countless complaints. In order to solve this problem, Secretary Zhao found Wang Yong again.
Wang Yong was having lunch with Xiang Dajun and his assistant at home, and Secretary Zhao pushed the door in.
"Yikes! What about eating? How do you eat? You kid, are your parents not at home, and your laziness is committed again? ”
Faced with Secretary Zhao's unceremonious counting, Wang Yong's face turned red all of a sudden. If it weren't for people asking him to go to the cafeteria to eat, Wang Yong, who was sitting on the farm and talking about alien civilizations with a few college students who came to intern, wouldn't have remembered that there were still guests waiting to eat at home?
"Secretary Zhao is here, you sit, you sit! Have you eaten it? Why don't you drink some more in one piece? ”
Xiang Dajun stood up like a master at this time and greeted Secretary Zhao, and Wang Yong, looking up at Secretary Zhao's eyes, immediately got up without saying a word to help him bring a pair of chopsticks and wine glasses, and then quickly filled the wine glass.
Seeing Wang Yong fill all the wine glasses that could hold three taels, a smile appeared on Secretary Zhao's face.
There is no way, the son and daughter-in-law are strict at home, and let him drink one or two at most per meal. With his alcohol addiction, how can this be enough?
So as soon as the alcohol addiction came up, Secretary Zhao walked around the village. When I met someone who happened to be eating, I immediately went to the table and had another meal, and then returned home and listened to the complaints of my son and daughter-in-law happily.
"Let's take a sip first, on behalf of the villagers of Wangjiazhuang, I will welcome you, the big boss, to invest in us."
"Thank you, thank you, I will ask you to take care of me in the future!"
The two of them took a sip of wine, and Secretary Zhao didn't bother to put down his wine glass, and told Wang Yong about the problems he encountered. It's a hard thing to do! Now that the state has begun to control rural homesteads, it is not as simple as before to approve a homestead.
Besides, there is still free land in the village? It's either a greenhouse or a fruit tree, so you can't let someone cut down the tree for you to build a house, right? There is no need for others to do this, Lao Secretary Zhao is the first to beat people who have this kind of thinking.
Xiang Dajun didn't expect that he would encounter this kind of thing, he had heard others say how amazing Wang Yong was, as if any problem was no longer a problem for him, and he could easily find a solution. This time, I just took this opportunity to see if this kid was the legendary god!
Under the gaze of the other three people at the table, Wang Yong blurted out his thoughts without even thinking about it.
"It's easy! Wouldn't it be better for you to get a piece of land to build a building and make an apartment for the elderly? ”
"Senior apartment?"
Faced with the doubts of the three people, Wang Yong was really helpless, and he couldn't communicate with each other!
"You can also understand it as a high-end nursing home!"
"A nursing home?" Old Secretary Zhao screamed. (To be continued......)
