Chapter 38: I Want to Go to School
The people in the village were busy waiting until after 9 o'clock in the evening to basically get it done, everyone sat in their seats, almost everyone in the village arrived, and the 10 tables prepared were full. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Due to the traditional belief in the village, children who have not had pimples are not allowed to serve at the table, so some children have to stay with their parents. But it's a bit difficult to get them on the table, and these active children don't feel comfortable staying on a stool when it's so busy.
Of course, it is not necessary to have pimples, and some children who have not had pimples in their lives can be on the table when they reach adulthood.
In the midst of everyone's eagerness to wait, Village Chief Wang Rongcai walked to the center of the square and said to the surrounding villagers: "I am very happy today, and I am very happy this year. I don't know how to express my feelings anymore, all I can think of is the word 'happy'. After so many years, when has our village been so lively, and when has the food been so good. Look at the meat on your table, remember the last time you ate meat like this? I can't remember. As he spoke, a layer of mist appeared in Village Chief Wang's eyes.
After a pause, he continued, "Now let's raise our glasses and toast a glass of wine to the young people who are working hard for the village abroad," he said, and drank the wine glass in his hand in one gulp. He poured it again and continued: "The first cup of our lads who went abroad. This second cup we want to pay tribute to Mr. Wang, it is these changes he has brought to our village, although we are still living in this poor ravine, but I am content to have these. Teacher Wang, come, do it"
On a table in the distance, Wang Xiaode, who was still wearing a dragon dance costume at this time, also raised his wine glass and saluted the village chief and everyone and killed it in one gulp.
"Teacher Wang is not easy, you see that Teacher Wang is a teacher, so do you know who sent Zhu Jiancheng and them abroad? Do you all think it's Manager Liu of the labor company, in fact, this is true, but what you don't know is that Mr. Wang is the boss of this company. ”

Village Chief Wang's words immediately caused people to make noise and discussions, and even a few people ran to Wang Xiaode and knelt down to express their gratitude to Wang Xiaode.
"Don't be like this, don't be like this, this is what I should do, I should do" Wang Xiaode hurriedly helped up the few people who were about to kneel, almost all of them were family members, parents, wives and children of immigrants.
Wang Rong saw this chaos and shouted: "It's all quiet, what are you doing, go back and do a good job!" ”
After the crowd quieted down, Wang Rongcai, the village chief, continued: "A young, recently graduated college student opened such a big company with his own hands. He also taught a good book, he, that is, Wang Xiaode, Teacher Wang, he did not dislike the poor in our village to come to our village to teach, food and clothing were with us, and he didn't even go back for the New Year. When have we ever met such a nobleman, isn't the person who can do this not our family? As he spoke, Wang Rongcai's whole body trembled a little. It's like a sheep going crazy.
"Children, come here, come here," Wang Rong called to the children in the venue.
"Past, past, hurry up, listen to Grandpa Rongcai, go quickly" Although the parents of the children did not know what the village chief was going to do, they all maintained information to the village chief and urged the children to pass.
Under the repeated shouting and shouting of their parents, the children came to stand beside Grandpa Rongcai. I heard Wang Rongcai, the village chief, say in the direction of Wang Xiaode: "Teacher Wang, Bazao Village is poor." We have nothing to give you in return. But the people of Bazao are all backbones and will never accept free donations from others. The people of Bazao can't give it to you now, and the children of Bazao will definitely give it back to you in the future, even if it is for you to provide for the elderly. Children, come, bow to Mr. Wang and say 'Thank you, Mr. Wang'"
"Thank you, Mr. Wang" was not very uniform at first, but under Wang Rongcai's repeated bowing, and under the leadership of some sensible children, the voice became more and more neat and high-pitched. Finally, it turned into an oath that shook the sky.
In the dark, Wang Xiaode felt a strange power generated around him. Thin but rich, this kind of power, Wang Xiaode can feel it, but he can't touch it, and there is no way to absorb and refine it. He is at a level that mortals can't see, but Wang Xiaode is very sure of the existence and strength of this power.
"Merit, this is the power of merit, and it also contains a trace of a very strong wish, which is the power of vows. The combination of the power of merit and the power of oath is so powerful. Although Wang Xiaode only felt a trace of this power, Wang Xiaode was very sure that the strength of this power was essentially powerful.
Wang Xiaode walked up to the center of the square, helped up Village Chief Wang and said: "I, Wang Xiaode, used to be an orphan, I was adopted by my master, and I once felt at home. In the years since my master's death, I didn't know where my home was. Now, I've found it, I've found it" said Wang Xiaode, holding a pair of thick hands of Village Chief Wang with his hands. He said, "My home is here," he turned his head, raised their clasped hands, and said to the villagers: "This is my home"
After Wang Xiaode said some touching words and sent New Year's blessings, everyone finally waited for the highlight of the day, which was to eat. Saying a thousand dishes and ten thousand is not as good as a dish in your mouth.
Wang Xiaode first danced with a dozen young men for a while, and then replaced others to pick them up, and he also ran to the table to eat food. At this time, Village Chief Wang came over and asked Wang Xiaode to go to the corner on the side and said that they wanted to talk together. Village Chief Wang laughed and commented on the performance of some villagers. Whose children steal pickles, whose young men don't work seriously, whose little daughter-in-law cooks well, or whatever.
After talking for a while, Village Chief Wang gradually began to fall silent. Wang Xiaode knew that the other party had something on his mind and wanted to talk to him, so he asked: "Village chief, you also said that I am a family member here, what is there to say to the people in your family." Tell me what's the matter? ”
Village Chief Wang thought for a while, sighed, raised his hand to signal in the direction of a corner, and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl walking over, looking a little shy. I heard Village Chief Wang say to the girl: "Xiaoxue, you can tell Teacher Wang yourself, don't be afraid, Teacher Wang will help you." Grandpa is here too."
This made Wang Xiaode even more puzzled, what was the matter, let a little girl ask for help like this, even the village chief looked serious.
"Teacher Wang, I want to go to school," Xiaoxue said.
"It's good to go to school, why haven't I seen you in the school?" Wang Xiaode asked strangely. You must know that for these children who can't get out of the mountains, the township is free of tuition, and the children in the village who go to primary school all attend classes together in the same classroom, regardless of grade.
