Chapter 116: First Arrival at the Racecourse
The question of tuition fees is actually the main purpose of Wu Wanxing's visit.
Xia Wencai also understands the distress of rural children going to school, especially in this society, not to mention the countryside, it is difficult for many people in the city to provide for their children to go to school, primary and secondary schools are still compulsory education, and there is no tuition or anything, but there are a lot of miscellaneous expenses in a semester, not to mention going to high school and college, thousands of tuition fees plus living expenses or something, it makes people want to cry without tears, it is for these reasons that Xia Wencai only charges them 1,000 tuition.
After Xia Wencai told Wu Wanxing about the school's fees, Wu Wanxing was a little happy and a little entangled, this tuition fee is not expensive for them, and the children in their village who are now going to school outside will add up to about this price after a semester, but considering that Xia Wencai said that the tuition fee is 1,000, but he doesn't know what the other fees are, if it is also a mess, he will have to give up.
After Wu Wanxing told Xia Wencai about his concerns, Xia Wencai smiled and said: "Village Chief Wu is too worried, we charge a maximum of dozens of yuan for books, and other expenses will be included in the tuition fee."
Wu Wanxing was relieved when he heard Xia Wencai say this, and told Xia Wencai that there were two difficult households in their village, one was a widow with a ten-year-old child, and the other was a grandfather with a granddaughter, both of whom were helpless and had difficulties in their own lives, let alone let their children go to school, so Wu Wanxing asked Xia Wencai if he could help their children apply for free schooling.
Xia Wencai said after hearing this: "Village Chief Wu, our free admission is for children with difficult families, this free not only includes tuition, but also other miscellaneous living expenses, all of which are completely free, if what you said is true, I think it is fully in line with our application standards, but to put it mildly, although you always talk about their situation, but we still have to send people to investigate, I hope you don't be surprised, this is our necessary process, I am afraid that some people will use public weapons for private use in the future."
"No surprise, how can you be strange, you should do this, if I have to do this, then thank you Village Chief Xia, I will go back to tell everyone the good news now." After Wu Wanxing finished speaking, he said goodbye with a smile on his face and left.
Xia Wencai then discussed the issue of the start date with Lin Xiaowan, and Lin Xiaowan said that it was best to set it on Monday seven days later, because the teachers' grades and courses would be arranged in these days, and the teachers would notify them to come here tomorrow to prepare, and the teaching materials would start preparing immediately.
Then Xia Wencai called Zhang Degui directly, telling him that the start date had been set, and asked him to notify him, and the registration fee could be collected from now on.
Three days passed in a flash, and today Xia Wencai and Lin Xiaowan went to the Education Bureau to collect all the documents, and Xia Wencai actually hung up the title of principal, which made him quite painful, but this was Lin Xiaowan's strong request, saying that even if he didn't care about the school, he had to hang the title of principal, and it was good to brush up on the zĂ i feeling!
During this period, Li Xiaomei, Liu Chunlan and other teachers have been in place, because this time is more busy for them, they have to familiarize themselves with the environment and prepare for classes within a few days, but fortunately they are all experienced teachers, and they have not changed the textbooks in the past two years, so it is not too troublesome, just review it from scratch.
As soon as Xia Wencai and Lin Xiaowan answered the school, they put the certificate or something in their principal's office and put it away, which can be visited and checked.
When the two returned home, they saw the fat guy sitting in his living room drinking tea and chatting with his father.
As soon as Xia Youwei saw Xia Wencai coming back, he said: "I'm back, Xiao Wu has been waiting for you for a while, you talk, I'm going to read a book!"
Looking at the back of Xia Youwei leaving, the fat man asked curiously: "Wencai, what kind of book does my uncle read, is this a hobby of literature?"
Xia Wencai was embarrassed to say that his father was obsessed with novels, so he interrupted: "Who knows what books he reads, I said how can you, a busy person, have time to come to the cold house, and you don't know how to make a phone call or anything before you come, you deserve to be stupid and wait!"
"I said talented, don't scold me, okay, the whole local tyrant's mansion is still a humble house, then my house is not a kennel, besides, you don't lose money waiting for you here, this good tea is refreshing, and the uncle is really generous, unlike you, an old pick, put a few tea leaves at a time!" After the fat man finished speaking, he proudly handed the teapot to Xia Wencai and looked at it.
Xia Wencai took the teapot and looked at it, his eyes twitched, and he saw that the teapot was covered with a small half layer of tea leaves, it seems that Xia Youwei's tea drinking habits have not changed, and any tea he drinks is regarded as eagle tea, at least half a tael at a time, he said that drinking tea in this way is enjoyable
Fortunately, Xia Wencai is self-produced, otherwise his father would have bankrupted him by drinking tea
Lin Xiaowan is no longer surprised by this, in order to please Xia Youwei, her baby also said that drinking tea is so atmospheric, saying that her grandfather drinking tea is a little family, and he puts a little bit at a time, looking cold, Xia Youwei is very proud when he listens to it, it seems that this is continuing to carry forward!
After the gossip, the fat man talked about the purpose of coming, saying that the friend who his father drove the racecourse came back, and asked Xia Wencai when he was free to come over.
Xia Wencai said: "It's all at any time, I don't have anything else, it's just a lot of time."
Lin Xiaowan immediately said: "Yes, you are the village chief and the principal, you are more idle than anyone else, and you are not afraid of other people's jokes!"
The fat man was accustomed to these two snatching each other's whites, but he was still more interested in the principal in Lin Xiaowan's mouth, and said, "Yo, what kind of principal has the talented man become?" Shouldn't it be your village school? â
Xia Wencai was still very forced in front of the fat man, and after tidying up the already neat Zhongshan suit, he looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees: "Hey! Yes, it is the principal of the village school, this time when I went to apply for the certificate, the director of the education bureau saw that I was talented, Yushu was in the wind, and I had to cry and beg to be the principal, originally this was a private school, who was the principal and he had nothing to do with it, but who called the person the leader, but he couldn't excuse himself, he couldn't excuse himself! â
"Poof!" Lin Xiaowan was already laughing beside her, her eyes had narrowed into a crescent moon, but she remembered that Xia Wencai still pretended to have a bitter gourd face when she came back, but she didn't expect it to be wrapped up. The fat man was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and then muttered, "The director of education is blind, right?" And although we call you a genius, but it's just a shout, don't take it seriously, I've slept in a dormitory for a few years, can you not know what level buddy you are, you're going to go to the wrong person's son, fortunately I don't have a son, otherwise I will definitely be sent to your school for disaster! â
Xia Wencai said angrily: "Get out, jealousy, Chiguoguo's jealousy, if you really have a son, our school won't accept it!"
Lin Xiaowan looked interesting, but saw that the two of them seemed to be running more and more off, so she said: "Okay, let's get down to business, when will I leave to see the horse, I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, so I'll go and have fun this time." After hearing this, Xia Wencai looked at Lin Xiaowan and said strangely: "You also want to go, and you can ride a horse if you want to?"
Lin Xiaowan pouted and said: "Why can't I go, as the general manager of the company, of course I have to go to personally inspect the established project, and Miss Ben can ride a horse, my brother, Duan Fei and they will, they used to love to go to the horse farm to ride horses when they were fine, and I also went with it a few times."
Xia Wencai thought about it, these rich children may be tired of riding horses and archery, how can they be like them, turtles, horses and mules can't tell the difference.
Seeing that Xia Wencai was all interested, the fat man said, "Since you are all free, let's leave this afternoon!" Do you think it's okay? â
Xia Wencai also agreed, Lin Xiaowan also said OK This matter is settled, the fat man had a meal at Xia Wencai's house at noon, and then the three of them sat in Xia Wencai's car and prepared to leave, before leaving, Xia Wencai told Zhang Degui about the things they were going to watch the horse, and told him to keep an eye on the village, if there is anything to deal with directly, if there is something that cannot be handled, call directly.
Zhang Degui on the other end of the phone also knew about buying horses, but he didn't expect Xia Wencai to have a way so soon, for Wudu, there are really not many good horse farms where you can buy horses, after listening to Xia Wencai, he told him to rest assured, he can handle the affairs in the village.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Wencai drove off, Beibei District is not far from the mountain village, anyway, it is more than an hour's drive, Xia Wencai and the three of them finally arrived at their destination at about half past two in the afternoon under the guidance of the fat man.
This is a horse farm near the river, the environment is quite good, the fat man pointed the way and parked the car, then took out the phone and called, after a while, I saw a middle-aged man in his forties wearing jeans with a smile on his face.
"Hao'er, it seems that Uncle really didn't hurt you in vain, you know that you have introduced me to business!" The man first greeted the fat man.
When the fat man heard the man's name, he knew it was going to be bad, and sure enough! As soon as I turned my head, I saw Xia Wencai and Lin Xiaowan snickering.
The fat man said to the man in embarrassment: "Uncle Hu, I said don't call me Hao'er, it sounds like a mouse!"
"Hehe, it's a waste, what's there!" The man was visibly unimpressed, thinking that this was fine.
Xia Wencai also helped: "This uncle is right, the mouse is very good, our rural children love to take a cheap name to feed, you have seen the two dogs in our village, and there are dogs, iron bulls, two fools or something." The man smiled after hearing this, and said: "This little brother is the village chief Xia mentioned by Xian'er, hello, my name is Hu Zhimin, you are reasonable, that's what you mean!"
After Hu Zhimin and Xia Wencai shook hands, the fat man said speechlessly: "You rely on a little general, who has ever seen someone who gave a cheap name to more than 20 people, the reason is that it is still easy to feed."
But the fat man's statement was obviously ignored, Hu Zhimin and Xia Wencai chatted very speculatively, no one cared about him, only Lin Xiaowan glanced at the child sympathetically!
