Eighty-seven. New aunt
Yang Guang and Xu Li did not go directly to Xu Li's hometown of Xijiang Province, but went to the capital first. Xu Li's sister Xu Wan is studying at Beijing Shuimu University, and she is an eight-year clinical medicine student.
Originally, Yang Guang and Xu Li wanted to leave two days ago, but I heard that Xu Wan had a project that had not been completed two days ago, and she was not ready to visit her until she was free, and Xu Wan was also ready to go home to see, but she did not go home because she was busy with the subject during the eleventh day.
In fact, Xu Wan used to go back to her hometown almost once a year, at first because she wanted to save money, but later because she was busy with her studies, obviously Xu Wan wanted to do her best to graduate and take on family responsibilities.
At Mizuki University, Yang Guang and Xu Li met Xu Wan, and the relationship between the two sisters was very good, so the intimacy of meeting was not mentioned. Xu Wan is also a beauty, but her appearance is slightly more cold than Xu Li, and her attitude towards Yang Guang is also very average, Yang Guang doesn't care, or Xu Li explained, Xu Wan's temperament is a little cold, but it can be regarded as in line with the identity of a female scholar. I also admire Yang Guang, a scholar.
Back then, he only dared to think that he could go to Mizuki University when he was dreaming. For such a person whose family conditions are difficult but still persists in his efforts, Yang Guang always has more tolerance and respect, so he naturally won't mind. What's more, it's just acquaintance, and if you meet, it's very close and weird.
Xu Li didn't stay long in the capital, and Xu Li didn't have much interest in visiting the great capital, so after only staying for a day, the three of them got on a plane to Xijiang Province. Because he knew that Xu Li's hometown was remote, and there was a lot of luggage, it was mainly a gift prepared by Yang Guang for Xu Li's mother and younger brother.
Originally, Yang Guang was going to rent a car directly from the provincial capital hotel here, but after Zhiyang knew that Xu Li's hometown was here, he happened to have a company in the provincial capital of Xijiang Province, so he transferred two cars from this company to Yang Guang to use, but Yang Guang in the province was in trouble.
After trekking for several hours, a few people arrived at Xu Li's hometown in the mountains in the evening, but fortunately, Cheng Zhiyang also sent a driver over, but Yang Guang didn't need to be tired.
The scenery here is very beautiful, but the traffic is not very convenient, according to Xu Li, this is still thanks to the blessing of the village, otherwise the traffic here in the past few years is even worse and difficult. Back in her hometown, Xu Li became a lot more lively, and from time to time on the road to Yang Guang to guide nearby locations or something, Yang Guang listened very carefully, anyone's hometown has very unforgettable memories, whether it is a good life or a hard life.
After entering the village, he also met many acquaintances of Xu Li along the way, and Yang Guang greeted Xu Li with a smile. Perhaps the rural areas of the world are similar, compared to the city where many people live on the same floor but do not know each other at all, the relationship between rural people is much closer.
The car stopped in front of Xu Li's house, an ordinary farmhouse courtyard, Yang Guang felt that compared with his hometown, perhaps the only difference is that there seem to be many buildings in the countryside here, while Yang Guang's hometown is more of a bungalow, which is estimated to have a lot to do with the climate.
Xu Li's mother is a very kind and kind woman, but because of the hardships of life, she looks a little old, seeing her two daughters coming home, and the eldest daughter coming back with her boyfriend, Xu Li's mother is full of smiles. quickly eliminated some of the apprehensions in Yang Guang's heart.
Yang Guang moved the gift into the house and sent the driver away, after all, he was going to stay here for a few days, and at the same time left a car to spare. After that, Yang Guang followed Xu Li into the house. Xu Li's mother was very enthusiastic to prepare refreshments for Yang Guang and the like, Yang Guang resigned again and again, but Xu Wan took over the job at this time and let her mother talk to Yang Guang.
From time to time, answering Xu Li's mother's questions about how the two lived in Zhonghai, and Xu Li's mother muttered about some of Xu Li's shortcomings, so that Yang Guang could not tolerate it, Yang Guang was a little crying and laughing, he didn't know that Xu Li still had these shortcomings.
Xu Li's mother is very kind, even if she asks questions about academic qualifications and the like, she only understands Yang Guang's situation and does not want to find faults. Maybe Xu Li's character is also cultivated because of Xu Li's parents' personality habits. Let Yang Guang accept this future mother-in-law.
It didn't take long for Xu Li's house to come to a lot of people, all of them were some neighbors and three aunts and six mothers-in-law, and they all came to visit when they heard that Xu Li brought her boyfriend back. Yang Guang suddenly got busy, opened his bag and turned out gifts for those children, and by the way, he responded to these people's inquiries, such a scene made him sweat a little.
Fortunately, it seems that because Yang Guang's conditions are very good, these relatives and neighbors are still satisfied, but they just told Yang Guang that he must not live up to Xu Liyunyun.
Yang Guang also worked hard for dinner, there was no way, some of Xu Li's uncles and elders came over to accompany the guests, and they all called their aunts. What else can Yang Guang do, it is needless to say that he took the initiative to toast, Xu Li's mother persuaded her, and she didn't say more when she saw that Yang Guang had a good amount of wine.
Yang Guang understands very well that this is definitely just the beginning, his hometown is also a rural area, and he understands some characteristics of the countryside very well. Fortunately, Yang Guang was very well prepared, and the specially consigned gifts were also one of the preparations.
The next day, Yang Guang got up early in the morning, if he was at home, he would probably still lie in bed, but when he came to his mother-in-law's house, it was the first time he came, and he would definitely have to show it. The air in the mountains is exceptionally fresh, which is absolutely incomparable to Zhonghai. Yang Guang rested well at night, he didn't recognize the bed.
What is a little unaccustomed is that Xu Li did not live with Yang Guang at night.
Faced with Xu Li's mother's inquiry about why she got up so early, Yang Guang shamelessly explained that he was used to going to bed early and getting up early, Xu Li snickered on the side, but did not tear Yang Guang's lies. After washing up, seeing that Xu Li's mother was about to feed the pigs, Yang Guang ignored Xu Li's mother's refusal and helped carry the pig food bucket. Although the movements were a little rusty, nothing went wrong.
When Yang Guang was in school in his hometown, his family also raised these animals at that time, so he was no stranger. Although he really doesn't like these unclean jobs very much, Yang Guang doesn't despise anything, because Yang Guang knows that relying on such dirty and tiring work, Xu Li's mother supports her children.
Originally, Xu Li's family's main source of income was a bamboo forest, but after Xu Li's father died, Xu Li's mother alone couldn't handle it, so she could only contract it to others.
Yang Guang looked hard, not noticing that Xu Li's gaze looking at him was extraordinarily soft, Xu Wan's gaze also changed, and he was no longer cold and alienated before. Not to mention Xu Li's mother, she is really a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
After washing, eating the breakfast at the farmhouse, when Xu Li's mother said that the breakfast was not rich enough, Yang Guang praised again and again, saying that these small dishes show more craftsmanship, and now pay attention to eating some coarse grains or something, and the mouth is very sweet, so that the smile on Xu Li's mother's face has never disappeared.
After eating, Yang Guang and Xu Li got busy again, picked out gifts, and began to visit Xu Li's relatives one by one. In addition, after the death of Xu Li's father, the neighbors and friends who have been taking care of Xu Li's family also have to visit, obviously the day is not over, and the countryside is also particular, and it is most appropriate to visit other people's homes in the morning.
At noon, the enthusiastic relatives insisted on leaving Yang Guang to eat and drink some wine, and the matter of going to the county seat to visit Xu Li's younger brother who was studying there in the afternoon could only be postponed for the time being.
Such days lasted for a few days, and finally came to an end, Yang Guang didn't know how much alcohol he had drunk these days, but the effect was that these relatives were full of praise for Yang Guang. After that, I had time to visit Xu Li's younger brother, Xu Li's younger brother was in his second year of high school in the county seat, and he was a handsome guy who looked very hard and honest. is very close to Yang Guang's brother-in-law.
In the next few days, Yang Guang relaxed and could accompany Xu Li to look around. The surrounding scenery is good, and many places condense Xu Li's memories, together with Xu Li and Xu Wan sisters, they traveled around, and Xu Li's younger brother also joined the ranks when he was on vacation.
What is this place when the three sisters were fighting, and as a result, they fell and were injured. What back then, I got a lot of bamboo rats here to eat every year. Xu Li's childhood life is also similar to Yang Guang's, with a lot of fun memories.
"When we were young, we had to go around the mountains and forests, and we had to carry a stick every time to avoid encountering snakes or something. But a large group of children walked together, but nothing happened. But in the summer, when there is a flood, the family has to accompany them. There used to be a suspension bridge over there, and when the water was issued, the suspension bridge literally floated on the water. At that time, it was my father who carried us behind his back. ”
Standing on the mountain peak, facing the mountain wind, Xu Li pointed to the distance and said, her long hair fluttering, and her expression was a little confused, Xu Li showed a faint longing and sadness.
Yang Guang didn't care about Xu Wan and Xu Li's younger brother Xu Fang on the side, and stepped forward to hug Xu Li.
"At that time, the traffic conditions were too poor. But it's not much better now. After the merger of the villages, the primary school was relocated, although there are now roads through the villages, but there are still some places in the mountains that are not connected, even if they are connected to the country roads, because the distance is also very hard, you have to set off very early in advance. For this reason, some wealthy families have rented houses directly in the town, and those who can't afford to rent can only toss every day. Xu put aside and said,
The boy was also very clever, and although he missed his father as much, he also knew that there were times when it was not appropriate to think about those sad things.
"Xiaoli, let's donate the school. Right here, looking back at the best location. How about calling Xu Li Hope Primary School? ”
Xu Wan and Xu Fang were stunned. Xu Li couldn't help but slap Yang Guang,
"What Xu Li hopes for elementary school, it's so ugly. I'm not a celebrity, I don't have any celebrity effect, and it's a joke to take such a name. ”
"No one will laugh at it, and I guess those parents will be overjoyed to hear the news. It is estimated that the people in the town's education department will also be very happy, and I don't know how many people complain about this matter every year, but they don't know whether they don't have the money, or they spend it themselves, in short, there is no way. Now that someone is paying for them, they are willing. What's more, there is still oil and water to fish. Xu Fang said that he has known a lot in his hometown all these years.
"Then let's do it, I'll call Wei Zheng when I go back and ask him to send two people over to contact the education department here, I believe that this kind of charity will also be supported by the government here." At that time, the site will be selected in detail according to the information, and strive to make the surrounding villages more convenient. Yang Guang said.
Xu Li responded, nodded, leaned into Yang Guang's arms and didn't say anything. She is also very happy to be able to do something for the people of her hometown. She also knew that the establishment of Hope Primary School was nothing to Yang Guang, and more importantly, Xu Li also knew that Yang Guang had started to do charity by himself before, although he didn't trust those charitable foundations, but he was doing it physically.
Xu Wan and Xu Fang looked at Yang Guang with some admiration, no matter what, people who do charity will always give people a good impression.
Knowing that Yang Guang was going to donate a primary school here, the villagers and parents in the vicinity were very excited, and many of them came to Xu Li's hometown to see Yang Guang, and that enthusiasm made Yang Guang a little embarrassed.
For thousands of years, learning has always been extremely important in the hearts of Chinese people, even if college students have been flooded in modern society, but going to school is still a way for many people to change their fate, especially for children in poor areas. Relatively speaking, the situation in Yang Guang's hometown is much better, which also has a great relationship with the economic situation. Looking at the grateful smiles of these villagers, Yang Guang pondered whether he should establish a charitable foundation.
There is no need to accept external donations, and it is completely self-funded, and I believe that it will also have a certain effect if you first help build schools in poor areas.
However, there are still some problems in this regard, such as the local government intervening and rubbing oil up and down. This kind of thing is inevitable, but the process is different, and generally more famous enterprises encounter fewer problems in this regard. After all, great fame means great power, and ordinary officials also know how to pick up soft persimmons.
Yang Guang has no good way to worry about this, so he can only think about strengthening supervision, anyway, Yang Guang will definitely not allow the school he donated to become a tofu scum project. This aspect can be considered slowly, not in a hurry.
Wei Zheng and two employees of the company's public relations department quickly arrived here, and after finding the local government, the response was really enthusiastic, and even the local mayor took the initiative to come to Yang Guang to express his gratitude to Yang Guang for his charity.
With the cooperation of the government, the progress in this area is much faster, and through Cheng Zhiyang, Yang Guang also knows some local officials, and with the support of the officials above, there is no trouble in this matter. Yang Guang left two subordinates to supervise here, plus the personnel of the supervision company were responsible, so there was no need to worry about the quality of the project. And the money went directly to the company's account, which disappointed some officials, but they were helpless.
After staying in Xu Li's hometown for about ten days and handing over the follow-up to his subordinates, Yang Guang and Xu Li prepared to return to Zhonghai directly. And Yang Guang's expression obviously made Xu Li's mother and relatives very satisfied, and directly accepted Yang Guang's uncle.
And Xu Wan had already returned to Beijing three days ago, after all, she was still in school, although the course was very free, but she couldn't relax.
It is worth mentioning that after staying in Xu Li's hometown for two days, Xu Wan's attitude towards Yang Guang was much better. Xu Li explained it to Yang Guang. At the beginning, Xu Wan seemed to be a little worried that Yang Guangbao would raise or play with Xu Li, and because of this, the money that Xu Li called Xu Wan before was rejected by Xu Wan, although Xu Li explained carefully. But Xu Wan, who knew that her sister had been working hard to support the family, couldn't let go.
But this time, seeing Yang Guang at her home, trying her best to win the approval of Xu Li's family, and even personally helping to feed the pigs and cows, Xu Wan was sure that Yang Guang was sincere to Xu Li, so she let down her previous guard.
It can only be said that this social atmosphere is not reassuring, and this is also Xu Li and Xu Wan's deep sisterhood, and their concern for each other's feelings exceeds their own care.
In addition, the name of Xu Li Hope Primary School was denied by Xu Li herself, and it was replaced by Qingyun Mountain Primary School, well, the name Qingyun Mountain is really familiar, it seems that many places have mountains called this name, but whoever made the mountain near Xu Li's house is called Qingyun Mountain.
In short, this time I came to Xu Li's hometown and obtained the approval of Xu Li's mother, and because of the future Qingyunshan Primary School, the nearby villagers were also extremely grateful to Yang Guang and Xu Li's family. Even if Xu Li was indifferent and quiet, she was still moved by the gratitude of her hometown, and Xu Li's mother and others were also honored......
