At two o'clock in the afternoon, in the center of Longshan Village, a gathering place for chatting.

When Long Dazhuang came back, many women were gathering around to gossip.

A woman in her thirties said, "You don't know, do you? This Mr. Zhou from our village is not an ordinary person! ”

"Oh, his aunt, tell me, why is it not ordinary?"

"Do you remember how many years our village has not had a cadre come down to inspect! It's been at least three years. But today, more than a dozen people came at once, and those people's attitude towards Teacher Zhou was very respectful! ”

"Well, I also heard that the school has just started today, and many leaders have come to inspect the work, not only to incorporate our school into the education system, but also to send two teachers!"

"How many times we went to the township back then, we didn't ask for a teacher, but I didn't expect these leaders to take the initiative to send teachers to the door!"

"It's not that Mr. Zhou's face is big, otherwise, who will take our Longshan Village seriously!"

At this time, Long Zhuang carried a big package on his back and walked back from the bottom of the mountain!

A woman saw Da Zhuang and asked, "Da Zhuang, what are you carrying?" ”

"Aunt Xiang, at this time, Mr. Zhou bought something from the Internet, Uncle Zhou said; In a few days, we will give out prizes to children who study well! ”

An older woman asked, "Online?" What's online? Selling things online? ”

A young woman who went back to the village to visit her mother's house said, "Are you talking about computers and Internet access?" The young people in my mother-in-law's house love to play with computers, and my man said that during the Chinese New Year, my family will also buy a computer, and I heard that it is fun! ”

A little daughter-in-law of the same age as her next to her asked, "Second sister, this thing must not be cheap, right?" ”

"Hmmm! I heard that cheap computers cost thousands of yuan, and after buying them, you have to pay Internet fees, which are nearly 1,000 yuan a year. ”

"It's so expensive, I don't know if we have any hope of using ...... in this life"

Long Zhuang ignored these girls and walked towards the school with his things on his back.

With Zhang. Liu and the others are responsible for the daily teaching work, Zhou Ding has become a big shopkeeper, when school is out in the afternoon, Zhou Ding checked the prestige, and suddenly found that at least more than 100 people have reached respect for their own prestige, these prestige is given by the children, right?

Looking at the prestige value that has risen by a large margin, Zhou Ding's mood is very happy.

Following the children from school all the way to the village, Zhou Ding found that not only the children of the school were respected by his reputation, but also by many villagers.

Zhou Ding guessed; It should be that on the way to the village for dinner by the county and township leaders, Director Wang and Township Chief Zhang surrounded him left and right, and the attitude of faintly taking him as the leader added a lot of points to him.

For the villagers, it is a great thing to let those leading cadres who are above the top treat each other with courtesy, so Zhou Ding's weight in the hearts of the villagers has increased a lot and won the respect of many people.

It seems that proving one's abilities to the villagers is also a way to gain the respect of the villagers.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ding followed a student and approached his home, and he planned to have an in-depth conversation with each family in the name of home visits, to see what the people of Longshan Village need most at present, what they desire the most, and start with the villagers' top priorities, which is the fastest way.

After visiting five or six homes in a row, Zhou Ding found that the needs of the villagers were almost the same.

Most of the villagers hope that one day their homes will be able to live in a spacious and bright tiled house like a school, some of the older villagers hope to marry their adult sons, and some of the younger villagers hope that their homes will also have electricity and TV to watch like people outside.

Another step saw the clothes that Long Zhuang bought today, hoping that he could also have such clean and decent clothes.

All of these have a premise, and that is the pathway.

The road needs money is not a small number, not a million, two million can be solved, Zhou Ding found someone to calculate, if you want to widen the road, build a three-meter-wide simple road, but also dig a lot of places, the whole project down, at least more than 10 million.

Now, Zhou Ding's only property is the four-bedroom and two-hall house left by his parents, in H City, the value of this house is about 2 million, even if he sells the house, he can't make up so much money for road repair, not to mention, the house is left by his adoptive parents to his own plus, no matter what, Zhou Ding will not sell it.

There are still two months left before the Chinese New Year, and other wishes cannot be achieved, so it should not be too difficult to get the whole village to wear new clothes! It seems that the only thing that can be done now is to lead the villagers to make money.

While walking and thinking, Zhou Ding came to the door of Long Dafu's house, Zhou Taifu was looking in the direction of the school at the door, but he didn't expect Zhou Ding to come from another direction, and asked, "Why did my brother come from the village?" Is this going around the village? I knew that I wouldn't have let Da Zhuang go to school to find you! After finishing speaking, he led Zhou Ding to his home.

"Well, I went to the student's home and made a simple home visit to find out about the student's family situation!"

Long Dafu led Zhou Ding to take a seat and said, "Brother Zhou sit first, and when Da Zhuang and the two teachers arrive, let's eat together!" ”

Zhou Ding sat down and said: "I was about to talk to the eldest brother about the two teachers' dinner, I bought the school oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, pots and pans, tomorrow morning, the eldest brother will buy five hundred catties of rice for me in the village, and buy a few chickens, and in the future, let the teachers start a gang in the school!" ”

"Brother is outside, isn't it, can the eldest brother's house still lack a bite to eat from you?"

Zhou Ding waved his hand and said: "There are no rules, there is no circle, now the school has been included in the system by the Education Bureau, and some funds will be allocated later, don't say that the eldest brother's family is not rich, even if the eldest brother's family has money and food, there is no reason to care about the teacher's long-term food and drink!" ”

To tell the truth, before Zhou Ding came, Long Dafu was worried about this matter, and he really wanted him to take care of Zhou Ding and the two teachers every day, he really couldn't bear it, and now seeing Zhou Ding's insistence, he said on the donkey: "Just according to the brothers, however, three people can't take care of it, one person can still manage it, and the brothers will come often in the future!" ”

Zhou Ding smiled and said, "Guaranteed to be on call!" ”

After a while, Da Zhuang led Zhang. When Liu and the others came, everyone carried the Eight Immortals Table to the middle of the room, sat down around the table, and after three rounds of drinking, Zhou Ding asked: "Brother Long, when I visited my home today, I learned that the people in the village are very poor, and some people have not bought a new dress for several years, why didn't they organize the villagers to go out to work?" ”

Long Dafu put down his chopsticks and sighed: "It's not like no one has gone out before, I also organized the villagers to go out to work collectively, but unfortunately they all failed!"

The people of Longshan Village have a tough personality, a hot temper, they can't stand it outside, and they have almost no culture, and people who go out to work alone can only do small work on the construction site, how does it say outside, where there are people, where ......? ”

Zhang Xin answered: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes? ”

"Yes, that's what it means, even if it's a small job, when you first enter the industry, you will inevitably be excluded and bullied, Long Dashan in our village is a person who went out to work and broke his leg on a construction site, which is said to have offended people and was pitted.

After coming back, he drank medicine and died within a few days, leaving behind a pair of orphans and widows! By the way, Long Dashan's daughter is Long Mei, who is just eleven years old today, and she is your student! ”

Zhou Ding asked: "Why did you fail when you went out to work collectively?" ”

Long Dazhuang smiled bitterly and said: "When I go out, it costs money to lift my hands and feet, that time I took forty people out, and waited in the talent market for seven days, but I didn't find a suitable construction site."

The people in our village use stone to build houses, and they have almost no contact with bricks and tiles, so those who have craftsmanship are also stonemasons, and in the city, there are few stonemasons on the construction site, and most of the bricklayers are needed, so they can only start from small workers.

However, there is no shortage of dozens of small workers at the construction site, even if it is lacking, they are willing to recruit some loose people, which is easy to manage, and it is difficult to say, that is, the scattered people have no power and are easy to handle!

After staying for six or seven days, we spent the money we brought, and we ran out of food, so we could only come back in disgrace, and since then, few people have mentioned the matter of going out to work, anyway, living in the village, thirsty, hungry, eating vegetables and growing their own vegetables, eating meat and going into the mountains to fight, everyone has become accustomed to it! ”

Zhou Ding nodded and said: "I see, I didn't expect that even if it is a small job on the construction site, it is so difficult!" ”

The crowd chimed in: "Who says it's not! ”
