Chapter 147: Mountains (1)
Chu Chen patted his head when he heard this, and said, "Hey, why didn't I think of this." In this way, when we get there, give each of them a personal information, and if there is a suitable one, buy it directly there, if there is no suitable one, then we will send a fax and ask Brother Li and them to help purchase it and send it over. ”
"En......"
This time, Chu Chen ordered a total of 5,000 books, but because he didn't calculate it correctly, the truck he was looking for was too small, but fortunately, Chu Yulan bought so many stationery and schoolbags, and also called a truck, otherwise it would be a waste of time to find a car again. ……
After all the ordered books were loaded onto the truck and the balance was settled, Chu Chen and the others drove off.
From the capital to Shunde, there is a highway to go, and the speed is not slow. Everyone set off from 7 o'clock in the morning, plus the time for lunch and rest, and by 1 o'clock in the afternoon, they had successfully arrived in Shunde.
However, it took three hours to get from Shunde to Chu Chen's alma mater, and when their car began to enter the mountains, the road began to slowly become narrow and bumpy, and in some places it even began to slowly turn into a simple dirt road.
In addition, it has not rained in the mountains for a long time, and once the car drove by, it raised smoke and dust all the way, and the originally clean car became a mud truck after a while.
And because of financial reasons, there are a few potholes on the road that are simply paved with stones, fortunately, Chu Chen's Land Rover has strong off-road ability, and the car will feedback and adjust the situation on the road, otherwise this car will come down on the journey, Chu Chen will be fine, and Chu Yulan will be bumped apart.
Despite this, Chu Yulan's face was still a little pale, and when Chu Chen saw this, he hurriedly said:
"Yulan, why don't you wait for me to take you to the city tomorrow, and then you can take the train back?"
Chu Yulan shook her head and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just not used to this kind of road, Brother Chu, didn't you say that you can only walk back when you go home, you can watch my performance then." ”
Seeing this, Chu Chen could only sigh helplessly, and then concentrated on driving the car.
Fortunately, the school did not go too far into the mountainous area, and Chu Chen and the others finally came to the newly built school after a hard trek.
The school is located on the halfway up the hill where the construction team spent a lot of effort and leveling. When the car stopped, the principal, teachers, and students, who had been waiting on the side, all gathered around.
As soon as Chu Chen got out of the car, an old man with white hair in the lead stepped forward and held his hand tightly and said:
"Chen Wazi, this time it's really bothering you!"
"What's the trouble with this, after all, I walked out from here, as your student, do your little bit, it's always right."
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face of the old principal, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel a little sad. The old principal graduated from the normal school and chose to come here to teach, he had the opportunity to return to the city, but because he was reluctant, he stayed. He has been doing this for more than 20 years, and it can be said that he has dedicated everything he has to here.
I was able to get out of my closed heart, in addition to my father's earnest teachings to me, the old principal also gave me a lot of help. From time to time, he would tell himself some stories full of life philosophy, tell him about his perception of life, and in order to keep himself from falling behind in his studies, he and his father made up lessons for themselves.
It is precisely because of this that I was able to come out of my original state of mind, and after the start of the new semester, I immediately caught up with the learning progress of my classmates.
Before meeting Uncle Wu, it can be said that his father and the old principal are the people he loves the most.
This time, the old principal has worked hard for the construction of the new school, and the school can be built, which can be said to be his long-term relationship with the town, county and even the city.
Two years ago, when Chu Chen went home, although the old principal also had some gray hair, but not much, I didn't expect to see him today that he was already full of white hair, and his face was also full of wrinkles, and he was just fifty years old, and he actually looked like a sixty or seventy-year-old old man, which really made Chu Chen quite heartbroken.
"Chen Wazi, you have this heart, I am very happy, on behalf of all the teachers and students of our school, I salute you!" Speaking of zuihou, the old principal bowed deeply to Chu Chen, and the teachers and students behind him, under his leadership, also bowed to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen didn't expect the old principal to be so solemn, so he hurriedly helped the old principal up and said, "Uncle Tian, you really killed me, if my father knew about it, he would catch up from the ground and break my leg." ”
The old principal waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am not the representative of me now, but the whole school of the whole school, four hundred and five teachers and students, so you can rest assured, your father will definitely not come to beat you, if he comes to beat you, you ask him to come to me, he still hated me for a meal back then." ”
"No wonder last night, my dad gave me a dream and asked me to invite you to drink two cups, it turns out that there is such a thing, Uncle Tian, I brought a few bottles of good wine back this time, let's have a good drink in the evening!"
"Okay!"
The old headmaster nodded with a smile, and then asked, "By the way, who is this girl?" It's so handsome. ”
Chu Yulan's original beauty is like a fairy, coupled with her noble temperament, when she just got off the bus, she let the teachers and students around her see it, and they couldn't help but feel ashamed of themselves.
"This is my friend, Chu Yulan, she also brought some stationery and schoolbags this time." Chu Chen hurriedly introduced.
"Hello Uncle Tian!" Chu Yulan hurriedly greeted.
When the old principal heard this, he said happily: "Okay, good! It's all good boys, Chen Wazi, you have to hurry! ”
Chu Chen hurriedly explained: "We don't ......"
The old headmaster waved and said with a smile: "I know, young man, thin-skinned, I also came here like this." ”
Hearing this, Chu Chen could only glance at Chu Yulan apologetically, and Chu Yulan smiled and shook her head, indicating that it was okay. It's hard to say much about this fact, and the more you talk about it, the darker it becomes.
Next, after the old principal helped the two sides introduce each other, Chu Chen looked at the sky and said, "Uncle Tian, it's not early, let's hurry up and unload the goods, if it's a little later, the driver won't be able to go back." ”
The old principal nodded, and then instructed the teachers and students to start unloading, and when they saw that the truck was loaded with thousands of books, as well as many stationery supplies and schoolbags and other items, the teachers and students of the whole school couldn't help cheering loudly.
"Chen Wazi, this is really too expensive, I ......" Seeing this situation, the old principal was a little excited and speechless.
Chu Chen hurriedly said: "Uncle Tian, it's nothing, you see that I can even afford a car, and I don't care about this money, the key is to let the students learn more knowledge, this is what I am most happy about." However, those stationery and schoolbags were all bought by Xiaolan, and it happened that the classmates were all here today, and they would be sent to them in a while. ”
“xiexie! xiexie! xiexie, you ......," the old headmaster's words of gratitude could not express his excitement at the moment.
With the joint efforts of many teachers and students, soon, the contents of the trunk were unloaded, and Chu Chen also settled the balance for the two drivers, and the two trucks were gone.
"Uncle Tian, now let's distribute the stationery and schoolbags first, first to those students who are far away from home, and also write down everyone's shoe size."
The old principal nodded, and when he heard Zuihou, he asked a little strangely, "Why do you still remember the size of your shoes?" ”
Chu Chen smiled and said, "I want to send them two pairs of shoes, you see, there are many students here whose shoes are broken, and some students are simply barefoot, now it's okay in summer, but in winter, their feet will freeze." It's just that it's too late today, and it's too late to measure the size of the clothes, so I can only trouble them to come over again tomorrow. ”
Hearing Chu Chen's words, the old principal opened his mouth and said for a long time: "Baby Chen, I know you mean well, but how much does it cost!" Your money is also your hard-earned money, and we are already grateful for buying so many things for the school, you ......"
Hearing this, Chu Chen pulled the old principal aside and said softly: "Uncle Tian, this money is really nothing, look at my car, how much do you think it costs?" ”
There were few Land Rovers, let alone here, but the old principal looked at the car, and shook his head, saying that he didn't know.
"Uncle Tian, I'm not showing off, the price of my car alone will cost 1.8 million."
"One million eight million?!"
The old headmaster's mouth opened wide, and he was speechless from the shock of the price.
This is 1.8 million yuan, and now this school, middle school and primary school combined, only cost 500,000 yuan, which he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother to fight for, and such an inconspicuous-looking car next to him actually costs 1.8 million, which really makes him not know what to say.
"Uncle Tian, do you know now that I don't lack this money?"
After the old principal sighed, he said with a smile: "Chen Wazi, I didn't expect you to be so promising, Lao Liu can rest in peace underground." ”
Chu Chen smiled and said, "I'm just lucky." By the way, Uncle Tian, you won't not complain that I made money, so I donated such a little thing, right? I'm just afraid that if I donate too much, others will be red-eyed. ”
The old principal waved his hand and said, "Chenwazi, what do you think of me, it's already good that you have this heart, and if you ask for it, then we are insatiable." After all, the money is yours, and no one else can control how you use it. And what you said is also true, if the conditions are good, it is not necessarily a good thing, maybe you will be targeted by your superiors! ”
Speaking of zuihou, the old principal couldn't help but let out a long sigh. This time, in order to build this school, he has seen a lot of the hot and cold world, sitting in a luxurious office, very affectionate when he meets, and when he asks for money, he pushes back and forth, and when it comes to zuihou, there are two words, no! After waiting for a few more runs, others simply avoided them.
