I still remember that it was still a sunset evening, Zhao Izumi and Li Qingyi were sitting on the steps outside the school, the national flag was rustled by the evening breeze, the sunset dyed half of the sky, and the endless Qilian Mountain was in front of him, and Zhao Izumi was going to leave Phoenix Village after a while, at that time Zhao Izumi definitely didn't know that his life after leaving Phoenix Village would be so twists and turns and legends, and he was just a young man full of infinite longing and expectation for the world outside the mountain.
Zhao Izumi listened to Li Qingyi talk about the outside world, and he was also fantasizing about his future life, Zhao Izumi muttered in a low voice, "I will earn a lot of money in the future"
Li Qingyi asked with interest, "Then you earn so much money, how do you want to spend it?" ”
Zhao Izumi hesitated for a moment, then turned around and forgot a few glances at the dilapidated school that could no longer be dilapidated, and then swore and said, "If I make a lot of money by then, then build a beautiful school for Phoenix Village first, so that the children can study hard in the future, don't worry about wind and rain, and don't have to be afraid of the cold winter wax moon, maybe you will stay in Phoenix Village and not leave."
At this time, Li Qingyi put away his smile, looked at the mountains in the distance and said lightly, "Zhao Izui, if you really want to build a beautiful school for Phoenix Village, then I will marry you."
Li Qingyi's words seem to be joking, she and Zhao Izumi are worlds apart, one is the fourth-generation eldest grandson of the Li family in Sijiu City, and the other is just a bun in Phoenix Village at that time, married to Zhao Izuxi, it is estimated that no one will believe it, because it is too incredible.
Zhao Izumi no longer knows how many catties and taels he has, and he is also a little self-aware, so when he heard Li Qingyi's words, the whole person was stunned, he stared at Li Qingyi for a long time in disbelief, that face was too real in front of his eyes, and it became more and more empty, after a long time, Zhao Izumi smiled stupidly, "Don't joke with me, I'm afraid that I will be beaten to death by the whole village, how can I be worthy of you."
"Don't you want to marry a daughter-in-law like me?" Li Qingyi turned his head to look at Zhao Izumi with a smile, Zhao Izumi blushed a little, and avoided her eyes embarrassedly.
He was very honest, nodded and said, "Yes, who doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law like you, I dream of it, but I think about it, but whether I can do it is another matter."
Li Qingyi didn't say anything, just smiled and said, "Zhao Izuxi, I will leave here after all, I will give you three years, if you don't have any achievements in three years, or you haven't built a beautiful school for Phoenix Village, then I will leave, and the fate of Phoenix Village in the future will be handed over to you."
"Three years, aunt, how can I do it in three years, don't make fun of me" Zhao Izushi heard that Li Qingyi was going to leave in three years, and hurriedly replied in fright, if Li Qingyi left, what would happen to the children in Phoenix Village? Zhao Izumi didn't dare to think about it, this was no longer his business.
But Zhao Izumi actually understood a long time ago that Li Qingyi would eventually leave, it was only a matter of time, who was willing to waste his life in this poor and remote Phoenix Village.
Li Qingyi said very seriously, "I'm not joking, I'm serious, don't you even have this confidence, this is not the Zhao Izumi I know."
Li Qingyi's words seemed to be deliberately stimulating Zhao Izui, and sure enough, after hearing this, Zhao Izumi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, three years is three years, I don't believe it, I don't have this ability anymore"
So, the two reached this three-year contract, but the gambling contract that seemed to be a joke in front of them was not completed. This can be understood, why when Zhao Izumi first arrived in Xi'an, he was so desperate to make money and get ahead, why he knew that what he did with Zhou Bin was gray, and it was easy to let himself fall into the bottomless abyss, but he still jumped into it without hesitation, because he only had three years.
At this moment, Li Qingyi took the initiative to mention this matter, which made Zhao Izumi a little surprised, think about it at the beginning and think about it now, the three-year covenant has passed, but no one expected these things to happen during this period.
"Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and what I said at the beginning was just to make you work harder, not to be paralyzed by the prosperity of this city, and not to be degraded by those temptations, but I didn't expect you to go faster than I imagined, I should say that it was too fast" Li Qingyi, who leaned next to Zhao Izuxi, said softly.
Zhao Izumi asked with interest, "Tsing Yi, if I don't get married now, I have already done what I should do, will you fulfill your promise?" ”
"What do you think?" Li Qingyi didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
Zhao Izumi shook his head, it would be a little difficult for people who were cold to breathe, he sighed and said, "I don't know, but at least at this time, I have the courage to face you, and the strength to marry you, if it was before, I would definitely not dare to have the slightest thought, love is a matter of two people, but marriage is a matter of two families." It's okay if I'm an orphan, but you're different, behind you is the dignified Li family."
"The old lady said that my marriage can be decided by myself," Li Qingyi said meaningfully.
No matter how stupid Zhao Izumi is, he can understand the meaning of this sentence, obviously Li Qingyi is answering the last question, even if it was just a joke at the beginning, just to give him motivation, today he has done everything, and Li Qingyi will also fulfill his promise. It's a pity that Zhao Izumi is already married, and Li Qingyi is also engaged immediately, and the two are destined to be inseparable in this life.
"Is it cold?" Zhao Izumi saw that Li Qingyi's face was red and his lips were a little purple, and he asked in a low voice.
Li Qingyi nodded lightly and said, "Well, it's a little cold."
After thinking for a while, Zhao Izumi untied his coat and hugged Li Qingyi directly into his arms, this seemed to be the first time he hugged Li Qingyi so directly, compared to the previous Zhao Izui, Zhao Izumi at this moment is obviously full of courage, or he doesn't need courage anymore, and he can do it by pushing the boat down the river.
Li Qingyi was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Zhao Izumi to do this, but he didn't stop Zhao Izui, but he felt that he was very nervous, his heart suddenly accelerated, and Zhao Izui's body temperature and breathing were so clear.
"It's not cold now" Zhao Izumi asked without a red face and a heartbeat, since the last time I talked to Li Qingyi, Zhao Izumi felt that he was facing her, and there was no pressure in the past, and there was definitely no hope for couples in this life, so they could only be confidantes, just keep an appropriate distance.
Li Qingyi knows Zhao Izumi better than anyone else, she is like another Zhao Izumi in this world......
Li Qingyi didn't speak, the two hugged each other quietly, the sky was full of stars, and the surroundings were pitch black, maybe they hoped that this moment could last forever.
I don't know how long it took, Li Qingyi took the initiative to say, "It's not early, let's go back"
"Well, let's go" Zhao Izumi agreed, let go of Li Qingyi, and the two of them went downstairs......
After breakfast the next morning, everyone packed up their things and went out, the town is not very big, so they just walked over to the line, the school sent someone to pick them up, and when Zhao Izushi and others arrived at the school gate, the leaders of the county government, the town government, and the school A large number of heads and brains were already waiting there, as well as those red children with small faces and frozen hands, holding fake flowers in their hands and shouting, welcome welcome warm welcome.
Zhao Izumi had already said that there was no need for any ceremony, and when the time came, he just wanted to say a few words to the children, and then visit the new school, after all, after the school was built, he had not come yet, to see if the people under the Xishu Group had cut corners, and whether they had done what they said.
Zhao Izumi walked to the door of the school with a gloomy face, and the deputy county magistrate in charge of education took the lead, as well as the director of the county education bureau, this deputy county magistrate was a little thin, and he was dressed well, and he smiled a little flatteringly and took Zhao Izui's hand and shouted, "Welcome Zhao Dong home"
The deputy county magistrate knew that Zhao Izumi was from Fenghuang Village, Qilian County, but he wondered that such a big man could come out of a place like Fenghuang Village, which was also something that the whole county muttered, and they knew the relationship between Zhao Izushi and Heizi, so they often went to the Heizi Hotel to eat, and often inquired about Zhao Izushi's news, looking like a brother, Heizi had become a designated hospitality hotel for the county government, and everyone outside said that he was very powerful, no one dared to mess with him, but Heizi didn't expect this.
"Hello, County Magistrate Du," Zhao Izushi said after greeting the children who were staring at the wide-eyed children, "What is this for?" I seem to have said I didn't need these rituals."
"It's nothing, the children want to express their gratitude to you in this way" This official position naturally speaks with a clear eye.
But Zhao Izumi was very uncomfortable when he heard it, and said directly, "I said that I don't want any ceremony, the weather is too cold, and the adults can't stand it, not to mention the children who are wearing such thin clothes, let the children go back."
"It's okay" County Magistrate Du thought that Zhao Izumi was polite, and said disapprovingly.
Zhao Izui's face changed instantly, and he said, "County Magistrate Du, it seems that you didn't understand what I meant, I said let the children go back"
The director of education next to him understood, and hurriedly pulled the arm of the county magistrate, and then said with a smile, "County magistrate Du, it's just that it's too cold, I'll let the children go back"
"Don't be like this in the future" Zhao Izumi put down this sentence, and then took Li Qingyi and others to follow the children directly into the school, seeing these children, Zhao Izumi saw those children in Phoenix Village, Zhao Izumi hoped that they could study hard and change their fate with knowledge.
The school has a large playground, and the children of the middle and primary schools are gathered in this playground at the moment, in fact, the school has a small auditorium, but that small auditorium cannot seat so many people.
After Zhao Izushi and the others were taken to the playground, they saw that there was a rostrum above, and there were so many children standing below, similar to the children at the school gate, they were basically children from poor families, they were very thinly dressed, and there were a lot of chilblains on their hands, feet, ears and faces, and they were extremely pitiful.
The others were waiting for Zhao Izumi below, Zhao Izumi followed those school leaders to sit on the rostrum, which made him very uncomfortable, the host was the director of the Education Bureau, next to Zhao Izumi was the deputy county magistrate, the county magistrate finally understood, and hurriedly apologized to Zhao Izui, Zhao Izumi just smiled perfunctory.
The director of the education bureau stepped forward to the stage, stood in front of the microphone, and took out the speech he had prepared for several days, what welcomes Mr. Zhao Izuxi, chairman of the board of directors of Xishu Group, welcomes the leaders, etc., Zhao Izui, who is used to seeing this kind of scene, frowned again, in fact, sitting on it is similar to below, it makes people shiver coldly, but Zhao Izumi doesn't want these children to be hungry next to the cold, listen to these Loli words that they don't understand.
So Zhao Izumi got up rashly in the puzzled eyes of everyone, walked straight to the director who spoke, patted the director on the shoulder and said, "Director Ma, it's too cold outside, I'll just say something, let's finish it, don't let the children get cold, they are too thin."
Director Ma was stunned, and then smiled a little embarrassedly, "Okay, good"
After Director Ma left, Zhao Izumi cleared his throat, looked at the hundreds of skinny children below, and asked in a deep voice, "Isn't it cold?" ”
There was silence below, and the children stared at the stranger in front of them with wide eyes, not knowing what they were thinking, Zhao Izumi followed and said, "I know you must be very cold, and I can't be cold, I guess you want to hurry up and go back to the classroom to warm up, I think so too." Still, I want to delay you for a few minutes, and after that, we'll finish, okay? ”
This time, there was finally a voice below that said "Okay"
Zhao Izumi took two deep breaths of cold air, and then said, "You must be curious about who I am and why I can stand here and speak?" Let me introduce myself first, my name is Zhao Izuxi, and I am also from Qilian County, my home is in Fenghuang Village, not far from here, and secondly, my identity is, the boss of the Xishu Group who built these two schools for you, I now live in Chengdu, many of you must not know what Chengdu is, Chengdu is a big city thousands of kilometers away from our Qilian County, it is very prosperous and lively, known as the land of abundance, you will know it when you grow up. Then you must ask, my home is in Fenghuang Village, how did I go to Chengdu. It's very simple, because living here is too hard, too tired and too poor, my ancestors have lived in this land for generations, they have stayed here all their lives, they have never walked out of Fenghuang County, they never know what the outside world is like, in their eyes, the world is like this, they are the same as me, they are not well fed and clothed, they are suffering and tired, just like now, winter can freeze people to death, so I want to go out and see, see what the outside world is like, is it the same as our Qilian County, and then I knew, It's not the same. Then you ask, what is the outside world like? ”
"The world is big, how big it is, I can't tell, this question is left to you to explore for yourself. There are big cities with high-rise buildings and flowers, small cities with beautiful mountains and rivers, and mountainous areas like ours. There are snow countries with ice and snow, flower cities with four seasons like spring, and people who can't stand the tropics when it's hot for 365 days a year, endless grasslands, islands surrounded by the sea, and so many wonderful things that we can't finish in our lives. Witnessing the wonderfulness of the outside world, I thought about why they can live in such a happy place, and our children in Qilian County can only live here, mediocre and miserable to live this life, so I want you to go out of the mountains, to see the outside world, to live the same life as them, to make your life vigorous. So I worked hard and worked hard to earn money, so I have today's achievements, to build you such two beautiful schools, I haven't read much, so I hope you can study hard, and I also hope that you can study in a better environment, so I spent a lot of money to build these two schools, I want you to use knowledge to change your own destiny, which is the most comfortable and easy shortcut for you. Someone must have asked, we can get out of the mountains without studying, as long as we are willing to leave. I don't deny this sentence, but I want to say that only reading will make you have more choices in your future life, these words can only be understood when you grow up, I don't know if you understand what I said, maybe some of you understand, some people don't understand, after all, these words are a bit complicated for you, but I only have one wish, that is, I hope you study hard, as long as you study hard, the rest will be left to me, I will choose some excellent children among you every year to take out, Take you to many, many places, Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, etc., so that you can see the outside world in advance, do you say? "Zhao Izumi didn't prepare in advance, and what he said was his true feelings.
This time, the children's voices were obviously loud shouting "yes"
"Okay, don't say much, it's so cold outside, you all go back to the classroom" Zhao Izumi smiled at the children and said, it could be seen that after hearing this, they all had smiles on their faces, children, it's that simple.
The group of heads behind Zhao Izuxi, hearing Zhao Izui's words, looked at each other but didn't dare to say anything, and finally had to disperse according to what Zhao Izumi said, and let the teachers take the children back to the classroom.
