Chapter 034 Remittances from Abroad
Before coming to Sanquan Township, Secretary Pan mentioned Wang Chunqiu to Liu Xuejun. only said that he was the principal of Lotus Leaf Primary School, and after the suspension of classes, he got a motorcycle solicitor. When he first saw Zuo Han and He Ye, Liu Xuejun only thought that they happened to be here to travel, and they were Wang Chunqiula's passengers, and they were simply uneven. But when he thought of He Ye's name, Liu Xuejun's mind opened up.
Liu Xuejun had heard of Lotus Leaf Primary School, and in his early years, he heard that it was built with donations from a returnee boss. That person seems to be surnamed Ho as well.
Lotus Leaf Primary School, He Ye ......
After getting into the car, Liu Xuejun confirmed the origin of the boss with Secretary Pan and thought to himself.
Pan Junming thought that Liu Xuejun had thoughts about himself, and explained softly:
"Xuejun, it's not that I'm looking at outsiders, it's just that Wang Chunqiu's situation is really special, and it's all because I didn't make it clear to you before I came......
Wang Chunqiu's wife, who was also a school teacher, was hit by a car and died when it rained heavily in the first half of last year and sent students home. Leaving a 6-year-old boy in poor health, I heard that he had just been diagnosed with leukemia and is still lying in the county hospital. That's why you say that he is willing to give up his wife and children, and he will be like that......"
Pan Junming Luoli said a lot of long-winded things, but Liu Xuejun didn't pay attention to it at all, and asked after interrupting: "Secretary Pan, I remember you said that the resort project in Sanquan Township has a construction period, and if you can't get the remaining few nail households as soon as possible, it will be very troublesome later." ”
"Ahem, isn't it?" Pan Junming sighed: "The contractor has been urging again, and the pressure on County Magistrate Liu is also very great. ”
Liu Xuejun frowned and said, "Then why don't you take tougher measures?" ”
"You know the temper of County Magistrate Liu, he seeks stability in everything, and he is afraid of leaks......" Pan Junming also seemed to be a little resentful, and said: "Actually, there can be something." There are only three nail households, two of which are registered in the township, and the Public Security Bureau still has a case record, so it's okay to be caught directly. Wang Chunqiu is a special case, but he is a cultural person after all. You have committed his taboo today, and there is nothing ...... about it."
Liu Xuejun nodded frequently at first, and couldn't help touching his neck when he heard the last sentence.
Nearly strangled me, but that's nothing.
But......
Liu Xuejun rolled his eyes and said, "Secretary Pan, you put me down at the front." ”
"What for?" Pan Junming wondered.
"Give my father a strong reason." A sly light flashed in Liu Xuejun's eyes.
In the eyes of the conceited Liu Xuejun, his father Liu Sheng's temperament is too soft and less courageous. Since Dad doesn't have the guts, I'll help him push it.
Liu Xuejun explained a few words to Pan Junming, Pan Junming was a little hesitant, but still nodded in agreement.
The driver stopped the car, and Liu Xuejun walked back to Lotus Leaf Primary School.

……………………
"I'm really sorry, I was supposed to pull you, but now it's the other way around......"
"It's okay, it's kind of fun to drive this thing."
Zuo Han drove the motorcycle, Wang Chunqiu sat in the back, talking to He Ye, and saying sorry to Zuo Han one by one. Wang Chunqiu was kicked by Liu Xuejun and it was nothing, but when he pinched his neck, he was too hard, and his hand was a little cramped. So Zuo Han simply became the driver and let Wang Chunqiu sit in the back.
"Principal Wang, leave that guy alone." He Ye asked, "You go on." ”
Wang Chunqiu said a few more words of apology to Zuo Han before continuing to say quietly:
"We are here at the junction of Lu County and Qiao'an County, and we don't hang up or down. At that time, there was no school in the township, and the children had to go to the county if they wanted to go to school, which was very inconvenient. If the family conditions are poor, they simply don't let their children go to school.
More than 10 years ago, I was an accountant in the township, and a kind man who returned to his hometown to visit relatives came to me and said that the poor could not be poor to educate poor children, and funded the construction of the Lotus Leaf Primary School. At that time, there were few children, and I could teach them alone, and he paid me a salary. Later, when there were more children, I recruited more teachers, and the school was just like that.
I have no objection to the county engaging in land acquisition for projects, but I can't ignore the children.
Ordinary people who are demolished can say that they can buy a house directly in the county seat, and it is convenient for their children to go to school. But there are still a lot of retail investors who are planning to go outside. said that it was to arrange a school, but the road was far away, and parents were not willing to go that far. As soon as the resort was renovated, at least 30 children had to drop out of school.
I thought about finding a place to build a few more houses and keep the Lotus Leaf Primary School.
But the school is not as good as your own house, and if you want to build a new one, you have to find a safe place. We are close to the sea, the soil is not good, and there are very few places where we can lay the foundation. Almost all of the places where you can build a big house are enclosed in the planned land of the resort.
The reason why I resisted it was just to ask the county to grant me a piece of land. Even if it's smaller, there's a place to take classes......"
Wang Chunqiu seemed to be very depressed, and talked endlessly for a long time.
"I'm sorry, I seem to have said too much." Wang Chunqiu scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"It's us who should say we're sorry." Zuo Han glanced back at He Ye, whose face was flushed, and said to Wang Chunqiu sincerely: "We misunderstood you." ”
"Yes, I'm sorry......" He Ye blushed even more and had a thick neck.
"It really doesn't matter." Wang Chunqiu seemed very generous, and said with a smile: "Even the parents of my students don't understand." But if you want to listen to me and believe me, I really appreciate it......"
"We seem to have arrived." As he spoke, Zuo Han slowed down and stopped.
"You didn't ask Principal Wang, how do you know ......?"
He Ye had just finished halfway through his questioning, and then he closed his mouth.
I had been chatting with Wang Chunqiu just now, and He Ye didn't pay much attention to the situation outside. Now that I see it, I understand, let alone Zuo Han, even she can see where Lotus Leaf Primary School is.
……………………
Except for the main road left in the middle, there is already rubble all around, except for the roaring excavators, only a small courtyard is the most eye-catching.
The playground of several hundred square meters is littered with large and small bricks and tiles, and a small two-story building stands on one side of the playground. In front of the building is an iron flagpole, and the national flag flutters in the wind.
He Ye jumped out of the car, looked at the school, looked back at Wang Chunqiu's torn clothes, and asked, "Looking at the school, it doesn't look like it has no money, but how can you ......?"
"Mr. He sends money twice a year, and the school is not short of funds. But that's all from school, and it has nothing to do with me. Wang Chunqiu's answer was very natural and not the slightest artificiality.
He Ye was very moved, but he still muttered strangely: "Uncle Lin obviously said that he helped send the money, once a year, why is there one more." Could it be that Dad will send money himself......
Zuo Han's heart moved when he heard this, and he asked Wang Chunqiu, "How did Mr. He send you the money?" Is there a change in the time and place of sending money? ”
"It's all post office money. ...... time" Wang Chunqiu thought for a while and replied: "Once at the end of the year, they were all sent from the capital, which was relatively fixed. Another time, most of them are from abroad. The most recent was from a place called Chiang Mai in Thailand......"
Zuo Han was about to continue to ask for details, but was unceremoniously interrupted by He Ye. "Why are you asking this, you might as well care more about the school."
"School may not stay for long." Wang Chunqiu sighed: "Maybe next month, maybe next week, Lotus Leaf Primary School will cease to exist......"
"With me, there will be Lotus Leaf Primary School!" After He Yegang finished speaking very domineeringly, he saw Wang Chunqiu's puzzled and somewhat expectant eyes, and suddenly felt a little weak, and turned to Zuo Han and said:
"There must be a way, huh?"
Zuo Han said angrily: "I'm not as domineering as you Miss He Ye." ”
"Lotus leaves?" Wang Chunqiu asked a little strangely, "Is it your name?" By the way, I noticed just now that your appearance is ...... Mr. He."
"She is Mr. He Jinsong's daughter." Seeing that He Ye was still twisting, Zuo Han simply replied for her: "We came here this time, mainly to see the primary school named after her." ”
"Oops!" Wang Chunqiu's face was pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that you are Mr. He's daughter, look at me like this......"
At first, Wang Chunqiu only thought that the two people in front of him were just curious tourists, but he didn't expect that one of them turned out to be He Jinsong's daughter.
"You should be Mr. He's son-in-law, what a talent...... Wang Chunqiu grabbed Zuo Han and beckoned: "Come on, come into the house......"
He Ye relieved himself at this time, and said angrily: "Principal Wang, he is not ......"
"Don't call me the principal, call me Lao Wang......"
Wang Chunqiu invited the two of them into the office and poured tea again, with an extremely enthusiastic attitude and even a little excited.
Back then, Wang Chunqiu was poor and only had a pair of pants left, and he couldn't eat enough. If He Jinsong hadn't asked him to be the principal, Wang Chunqiu might not be squatting now. Because of this, Wang Chunqiu regards school as his lifeline. For so many years, I have been eating and living in school, and I have done my best.
After knowing that He Ye was He Jinsong's daughter, Wang Chunqiu completely opened the conversation, and even talked about his wife and children, and Zuo Han and He Ye were embarrassed when they heard it. The two also coincidentally concealed He Jinsong's death.
"You've done your duty." He Ye's opinion of Wang Chunqiu has completely changed now, and he persuaded: "After taking the compensation, you also have money to treat your son." ”
"Even if I get compensation, it's the school's money, not mine. Besides, who doesn't have children? Wang Chunqiu sighed: "I also told you about the situation in the township. If it weren't for Lotus Leaf Primary School, those children would have to drop out of school. Recently, there happened to be another boss recruiting workers, and the children were going to work in Russia and stopped studying. I'm going to visit my home tomorrow, what can such a young child do if he runs so far......"
"Going to Russia to work?" Zuo Han's heart jumped inexplicably, and he couldn't help but recall the conversation between the two drug dealers on the train. I remember that they said at the time that they were looking for children to "bring goods".
Zuo Han asked seemingly casually: "Your students are all elementary school students, aren't your parents worried about going so far?" ”
He Ye also said angrily: "That's it, such a young child." Child labor is illegal! ”
"The other party's procedures are quite complete, it's to learn acting or something. said that even if you can't be a star in the future, you can be an actor in a foreign country......" Wang Chunqiu smiled bitterly: "Countrymen want their children to get ahead, it's hard that no one is tempted." ”
Zuo Han pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Do you think this is good." He Ye and I also came back from abroad, and the home visit went with you, and I just happened to show up to say the truth, maybe I can make those parents change their minds. ”
"This is good!" Wang Chunqiu's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again, and sighed: "But if the school is gone, it's useless to say anything." ”
While he was talking, he suddenly heard someone talking outside.
"Is Principal Wang back?"
"Who's looking for me?"
Wang Chunqiu pushed open the door and looked out, his face was not good.
After He Ye saw it clearly, he said angrily: "Liu Xuejun, what are you doing here?!" ”
