Chapter 23: Reading
"Rich! When I was outside the door just now, my father asked you if it was clear what you asked in the county, you made it clear, your uncle Wang told you something, you talk to your father first", Zhang Youcai said.
Zhang Fugui and his father Zhang Youcai roughly told what he saw and heard in the county this time, as well as the words he said after talking with Uncle Wang, and Uncle Wang's greetings to him were also said one by one.
After hearing this, Zhang Youcai hurriedly patted his legs and applauded, and said with a smile: "Rich! Now the situation in our village is getting more and more prosperous, thanks to the good policies launched by the party and the state! Since your Uncle Wang said that you should come back and lead the people in the village to form an engineering team, then you should also think about it carefully, the burden on your body is not light! ”。
Li Jianmei, a woman sitting on the side, interjected after hearing it and said, "Rich! Although I don't know how to form an engineering team, I think you should go to Uncle Tianyou to talk about such a big matter, and it is best to win the support of Uncle Tianyou, after all, Uncle Tianyou used to be the leader of our village, and most people in this village can believe in Uncle Tianyou! ”
Zhang Youcai, who was sitting on the side, heard what his daughter-in-law Li Jianmei said, and echoed it, "What Jianmei said is right, rich!" You have to take the time to discuss with your Uncle Tianyou, firstly, because your Uncle Tianyou has a lively brain and experience, and secondly, because your current village chief is still the mile given to you by your Uncle Tianyou, and secondly, he is your elder, and you have something to discuss with him, and he also has a bright face! ”
"Okay, Dad, Fugui listens to you, when Ming'er is one, I will go to Uncle Tianyou's house to find Uncle Tianyou and discuss with Uncle Tianyou", Zhang Fugui said.
After Li Jianmei, a woman, made dinner, the family finished dinner around the table, Zhang Youcai stayed far away and lit his cigarette pouch with a match and smoked, Zhang Fugui called the two dolls "Shaoping" and "Shao'an" in front of him, and said with a smile: "Shaoping", "Shao'an", Dad is going to let you go to the town to study in primary school, are you happy? ”
"Dad, why are you in elementary school! Isn't it fun to go to elementary school? Zhang Shaoping touched his head and said with a smile.
Zhang Shaoan was next to his brother Zhang Shaoping, looking at his father Zhang Fugui blankly, silently.
Zhang Fugui didn't know how to answer the question of the "Shaoping" baby, after all, he hadn't read a book since he was a child, and he didn't know what it was like to read, so he said with a smile: "You can be literate by reading, and if you know more words, your brain will follow the light!" If you have a solid cultural foundation, you may be able to teach others to read a few words! Anyway, this reading is only good and not bad."
The two dolls stared at their father Zhang Fugui with wide eyes, and were attracted by Zhang Fugui's good reading.
"Dad, since you are so good at studying, why don't you go, Dad?" Zhang Shaoan said suspiciously.
Zhang Fugui responded with a smile: "Dad is so old, he can't go to study anymore, and if Dad goes to study, then who will make money to buy you White Rabbit toffee to eat!" ”
Zhang Fugui smiled and said to the two dolls: "Look at you two, this mouth is full of white rabbit toffee, as long as your brothers study hard, your father will reward you White Rabbit toffee, whoever reads the book the best, who gets more White Rabbit toffee."
After the two dolls heard it, the white rabbit toffee in their minds was spontaneously born, and they looked forward to going to the school as soon as possible to study well, and then eat the white rabbit toffee.
Li Jianmei, a woman, heard that her husband was going to let the two dolls go to the town to study, so she thought that she should also make something for the two dolls.
Li Jianmei, a woman, picked a piece of navy blue cloth and cut the cloth with scissors, and then sewed it little by little with needle and thread, so she stayed up all night according to the size of the two dolls and drove down the two shoulder bags.
The morning light slowly opened the curtain, and it was another gorgeous and colorful morning, bringing freshness to the world.
Zhang Fugui woke up the two dolls early in the morning, and asked the two dolls to follow him to the dragon riding town with the shoulder schoolbag sewn by his daughter-in-law Li Jianmei overnight.
This "Shaoping" and "Shao'an" are also well-behaved, and they follow their father Zhang Fugui closely along the way, and they don't fight or make trouble, Zhang Fugui saw that the two dolls were so well-behaved and said to the two dolls with a smile: "Shaoping, Shao'an, Dad will send your brothers to school in the town today, you two must remember the miles along the way, otherwise it will not be good if you can't find the way home."
"Dad, aren't you coming to pick us up?" Zhang Shaoping said.
Zhang Fugui responded with a smile: "Shaoping! Dad will send you to school after a while, and then he will come back to lead the people in our village to live a good life, so Dad can't spare time to pick you up at school, and you two are not too young, and you two will have to go together after school in the future."
After Zhang Shaoping and Zhang Shao'an heard their father Zhang Fugui say it, they were still a little scared in their hearts, after all, they had never been out of the village since they were young, and now they are going to go to school in the dragon riding town, the round-trip distance is not close to miles, and there are more than ten miles of land, which is not easy for two seven or eight-year-old dolls!
Zhang Fugui felt a little sorry for his dolls Shaoping and Shao'an, but when he thought that everything he was about to do was to make this family a good situation, he was comforted a little bit.
In order to make the two dolls happy, Zhang Fugui took out two White Rabbit toffee from his purse and handed them to Shaoping and Shao'an, and said with a smile: "This is the White Rabbit toffee that Dad put in his purse early in the morning and gave it to your brothers, Dad wants your brothers to eat more White Rabbit toffee, so you have to be busy, I hope you two can understand Dad."
As soon as these two dolls saw the White Rabbit Milk Candy, all the worries and fears in their bodies were put aside, and they responded to Zhang Fugui with a smile while chewing the White Rabbit Milk Candy in their mouths and said: "Dad, then you are busy, we must study hard, in order to eat more White Rabbit Milk Candy."
"Okay, as long as your brothers study hard, Dad will definitely give you more White Rabbit toffee to eat, and ensure that it is enough", Zhang Fugui said with a smile.
The father and son talked and laughed, passed through Eagle Mountain, crossed the Tianshui River, walked along the thin and long dirt and gravel road, and walked to the Dragon Town for a short time, and walked to the Dragon Town Primary School after walking in the Dragon Town.
In addition to a three-storey teaching building, there is only a playground with two basketball hoops under the teaching building, which is paved with a layer of stones, and there is a flagpole in the middle of the two basketball hoops, and the flagpole flutters with a shining five-star red flag.
Zhang Fugui walked straight into the principal's office with two dolls in his hand, the principal of Qilong Town Primary School is a man about fifty years old, and his education level is also at the level of high school, but this is also a literate and high-level intellectual at that time.
The principal's surname is Jin Rong, his face is full of gray beard, and his head is covered with curly long hair, because his hair has always been curly and not straight, so when he was a child, someone nicknamed him "Curly Hair".
Principal Jin saw Zhang Fugui walking towards him, so he said suspiciously, "Which village are you from?" What's the matter with coming to me? ”
"Hello, Headmaster! I am Zhang Fugui from Zhangjia Village, and I brought two dolls to study in our Qilong Town Primary School today! Zhang Fugui said with a smile.
Principal Jin looked at Zhang Fugui and the two little radish heads "Shaoping" and "Shao'an" beside him, and responded: "You are Zhang Fugui, the village chief of Zhangjia Village?" ”
"Yes, I am Zhang Fugui, the village chief of Zhangjia Village," Zhang Fugui said.
"What, you know me?"
"Know, know".
"I have heard of your name for a long time, a few years ago, we rode the dragon town on your own with Zhangjia Village to start the land responsibility system, and then the county issued a red-headed document, we also started the responsibility system in the dragon town, this was the beginning of the package production to the group, and then it didn't take long to simply package the production directly to the household, we ride the dragon town in the crops these years this situation is also moisturizing!" Principal Kim said.
"Yes! All this is thanks to the good policies implemented by the party and the state! Otherwise, how can we farmers live a good life! Zhang Fugui said with a smile.
Principal Jin looked at the two little radish heads standing next to Zhang Fugui, and said with a smile: "These two dolls should be yours!" ”。
"Yes! These two brothers are twins, the eldest is called Shaoping, and the younger is called Shao'an," Zhang Fugui said.
No matter how Principal Jin looked at it, he couldn't tell who was the elder brother and who was the younger brother of the two dolls in front of him, so he felt a little dazzled, and said to Fugui with a smile: "Then do you want the two dolls to go to school and study today?" ”
"By the way, I'm here today just to trouble the principal to help, so that my two dolls can also go to school with those dolls in the classroom," Zhang Fugui said.
"Okay, well, now the country is also advocating the cultivation of these motherland's flowers and bones, you can rest assured that these two dolls will be handed over to me!" , said Principal Kim.
"Don't worry, you must rest assured, we don't have any books when we are rich and small, this is not a cultural loss, and now this situation is getting better and better, in order to let the dolls no longer suffer cultural losses, I have to let the two dolls read the book even if they smash the pot and sell iron!" Zhang Fugui said.
After Zhang Fugui finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the two dolls, and said with a smile: "Shaoping, Shao'an, your brothers will follow Principal Jin to study in school from now on, do you two remember the way home?" ”
"Dad, you can go with confidence! I remember the way home," Zhang Shaoping said.
Zhang Fugui felt a little relieved, so he touched Shaoping's head, took out the tuition fees for the two dolls from his purse and handed them to Principal Jin, who took the tuition fees and smiled and signaled Zhang Fugui to leave with confidence.
