After having lunch hastily in the town, Chu Chen immediately drove back to the school, at this time the school was already quiet, looking at the time, it was just a little less, but I didn't expect the students to have gone home.

Chu Chen came to the old principal's dormitory, knocked on the door, and after a while, Aunt Tian came over and opened the door for him.

"Chen Wazi, I'm coming back so soon, it's just right, we're still eating, you can eat some together."

Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Auntie, no need, I was hungry just now, I have already eaten in the town." ”

Aunt Tian smiled: "It's okay to eat it, there are just the ingredients you brought over yesterday, I'll fry two more dishes for you, and you will compensate your uncle for two more cups, he hasn't been so happy for a long time like in the past two days." ”

Chu Chen also knew that the old principal had been very sad for the sake of the school, and when he saw Aunt Tian say this, he hurriedly nodded and agreed.

The old principal was very happy to see Chu Chen coming, and hurriedly took out another wine cup, poured him a glass of wine, and said: "Chenwazi, you have done another great good deed, thank you, I won't say more, come, uncle, I will toast you, do it!" ”

Chu Chen hurriedly drank the glass of wine and said with a smile: "Uncle Tian, I just did what I could. ”

"Chu Wazi, you are still kind, me, as long as those people in the town can do what they can, I don't have to worry about these children!" Speaking of zuihou, the old principal couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

At this time, Aunt Tian happened to bring a pot of cold jellyfish silk, and when she heard the words, she complained: "Old man, everyone was happy, but you said this, didn't you add to the blockage of Chenwazi?" ”

The old principal laughed when he heard this: "Haha, Chen Wazi, this person likes to complain when he is old, don't worry about it!" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Uncle Tian, what are you talking about, what do I have to care about about this matter." Now that the new school is almost done, don't worry too much about school affairs in the future. ”

The old principal shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "How can you not worry about it, there are still a lot of things to do, like some babies, if you don't find some funding from your superiors, maybe you won't be able to go to school next semester." There is also the problem of teachers, after all, our conditions are much worse, the salary is low, and there are too few new teachers who can persevere. ”

"There were a total of five teachers sent over last time, and this semester, only that little Tao teacher stayed. Although the conditions are better after the new school is built this time, it is still difficult to keep people! ”

The little Tao teacher that the old principal said, Chu Chen also knew that the teacher was very quiet, and she was very well-dressed, and she knew at a glance that the conditions in her home were not bad. Chu Chen originally thought she was a new teacher, but she didn't expect that she had already taken students for two semesters, and she couldn't help but admire her spirit.

"Chen Wazi, don't care about him, he's like this, if you don't let him take care of it, he'll be itchy all over."

Chu Chen chuckled lightly when he heard this, and said, "By the way, Uncle Tian, those clothes and shoes will be there almost tomorrow morning, but I will go back to the village in a while, so I can only trouble you to help receive them tomorrow." ”

The old principal waved his hand and said, "What's the trouble with this, you can go back with confidence." By the way, you are in such a hurry to go back because of Erniu's mother's matter, and I will say hello to Erniu's family when the time comes! ”

"Haode, by the way, Uncle Tian, when I came over, why did the students have already gone back, don't they eat here?"

Chu Chen's words made the old principal stunned, and then said with a gloomy face: "The school has no money, where can I provide them with food!" ”

"Ahh Uncle Tian, didn't you tell me at that time that the new school had built a big canteen, and in the future, students could serve one lunch for free? Chu Chen couldn't help but say in surprise when he heard this.

The old principal said bitterly: "Yes, the above promised me so at the beginning, but then the leader changed, and the new leader did not admit it, and he also calculated an account for me at that time, saying that it was just one dollar of food money for one person, and it would cost nearly 100,000 yuan a year to remove the holidays." ”

He said, with so much money, even if it is the previous leader, it is impossible to allocate it to you, and if it is given to you, do you want other schools? Are the students of other schools much better than the students of your school? ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen was angry at the same time, but he also knew that what the leader said was the truth, after all, this is a national-level poverty-stricken area, and even the payment of a teacher's salary has been delayed again and again, and it is impossible to take so much money out to make a free lunch.

"Then the leader of Weishenme promised you this?"

The old principal sighed and said, "At the beginning, the school allocated 600,000 yuan, and 100,000 yuan was crossed out on it, it should be to comfort me that I made this unrealistic promise. It's just that in this way, a canteen of my size was built in vain, so much money, how many facilities can be added to the school! ”

"These corrupt officials!"

Hearing this, Chu Chen gritted his teeth angrily, but after thinking about it again, it was useless to be angry, the matter had come to this point, and he had to think of a solution.

"Uncle Tian, if not, I'll pay for this money, and we don't want one person, after all, the students are all in the stage of physical development now, so it will be calculated according to the standard of three yuan."

Hearing Chu Chen's proposal, the old principal hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Chen, you have already done a lot for us, and I will appreciate your kindness." ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Uncle Tian, the company I am cooperating with others now can earn at least 100 million a year, and this free lunch money is really nothing to me." ”

"Bang dang!"

"Ouch!"

Hearing this, the old principal's surprised chopsticks fell to the ground, and Aunt Tian happened to bring out the dishes again, and when she heard this, she was also frightened and her hand shook, and the vegetable soup splashed on the old principal's hand.

After a period of chaos, the old principal said with a surprised face: "Chen Wazi, I didn't hear it wrong, did you say that you can earn 100 million a year?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Uncle Tian, you heard it right! Can I still lie to you about this? ”

"My. Mother. Hey, 100 million, how much does that cost! It's all on top. The county's income for a year! Aunt Tian stroked her forehead and exclaimed.

Chu Chen said, "Uncle Tian, you won't disagree now, right?" ”

The old principal sighed: "Chen Wazi, since you are so heartfelt and capable, then I will agree with a thick face, but now the pork is only five yuan a catty, and there are many people in our school, so it can be cheaper, so these three yuan a meal, no matter what, even if you have a lot of money, you can't spend it indiscriminately." ”

Seeing the old principal's resolute expression, Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "Then two pieces, there can't be any less." ”

"Good!"

The old principal took Chu Chen's hand and said, "Chen, I won't say much, I can't do anything else, but I will definitely take care of your money." ”

"Uncle Tian, how can I not believe you in this?"

The old principal shook his head and said, "One is one, two is two, there are no rules, there is no circle, you don't have to talk about this, I know what to do, come, I'll toast you again......"

After eating, Chu Chen and Aunt Tian settled the drunk old principal together, and then went back to tidy up the salute and prepare to go home. As soon as the salute was tidied up, Chu Yulan next door was actually ready.

"Brother, look at me, is it already good?" Chu Yulan asked with a smile on her face, but she could clearly feel that there was a hint of nervousness in her smile.

Chu Chen took a closer look, Chu Yulan's face had indeed recovered a little, but she still looked a little weak, but she deliberately put on makeup, so it was not so obvious.

Seeing this, Chu Chen also knew that he would definitely not be able to dispel the idea of her going with her, and this time because of Erniu's mother, it was estimated that she would return to Beijing tomorrow at the latest, and she would not have to worry about anything wrong with her body, so he nodded and agreed.

Chu Yulan was undoubtedly relieved to see him agree, and now she didn't know that Weishenme suddenly had a little more fear of Chu Chen, but at the same time, she also had a little more intimacy, especially caring about Chu Chen's feelings about herself.

And Chu Chen's feelings for Chu Yulan are also very complicated, from friends to sisters, if they were in an ordinary family, maybe he and she would have been happy, but now that he feels bad about this family, the two of them get along a little awkwardly.

However, Chu Yulan's tendon-like personality that likes to drill the tip of the horns of the bull is really disliked, which may be caused by the stubborn side of her personality.

Of course, for Chu Yulan, she doesn't hate her, after all, in addition to her ideas are sometimes too extreme, her personality is still kind, otherwise she wouldn't have thought of helping students buy some schoolbags and stationery.

"Forget it, don't think about it, take it one step at a time."

Chu Chen shook his head, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and said to Chu Yulan: "We have more than ten miles of mountain roads to go in a while, don't be reckless, answer me honestly, can you walk down, don't walk half the way by then, if you can't go, then I will be angry." ”

Hearing Chu Chen say the word angry, Chu Yulan hurriedly shook her head again and again, and said, "Brother, don't worry, in addition to exercising every day, I will climb the mountain many times a year, and the mountain road is not a problem for me." ”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Well, that's good, let's go talk to Aunt Tian and let's go......"

To say, Chu Chen and they are also lucky, the weather is relatively sunny these days, if it rains, the mountain road will be particularly difficult to walk, and even if it doesn't rain, the mountain road for more than ten miles winds and circles, and it is not so easy to walk from here to Lujia Village.

In fact, for the villagers of Lujia Village, they are more looking forward to rain, after all, the water resources in Lujia Village are really scarce, and the status of water in the minds of the villagers may be more important than their lives.
