Chapter 889: Discuss with the village chief
The village chief hurriedly put down the flat burden on his body, stood in front of her and looked up and down excitedly: "White girl, you are finally back, it has been so long, I haven't seen you, I thought you wouldn't come back!" ”
"Village chief, what do you say? Although I have been away from here for a while, I am not a person who has forgotten my roots, and now that everything outside has been settled, I have nothing to do, so I came back, come back and see if you are all okay? ”
"Okay, we're all fine!" The more the village chief spoke, the more excited he became, so he hurriedly led the way, and greeted him with gestures: "Come in and sit for a while, now our yard is big and spacious, and it is comfortable to sit." ”
The village chief was so enthusiastic, they didn't want to push it, so they followed it once.
It was the first time for Hua Niang to see the village chief so enthusiastic and proactive, and she laughed when she knew that he was very happy.
"Village chief, slow down, don't fall on yourself when you're so old, the old bones matter!" Hua Niang followed behind and said half-jokingly.
"You might as well have a health hall on the street now, and those who have a little problem can go over and see it and it won't cost a few dollars, which is like the past, just the wind and cold have to catch a lot of money!" The village chief was very excited to see her, because although she was not here, she helped the people here.
After the two sat down, the village chief turned around and went to pour water, and seeing him busy working at such an age, he was very sorry to go, trying to stop him from being busy all the time.
"White girl, don't you know, although our head village is not as good as Jinshan Village and Lin Village now, but this day is much better than before, when you have nothing to do, you can go around the village, and you can see that many homes have been built with blue brick houses!" The village chief watched the village get better little by little, and he was happier than anyone else.
"Village chief, in fact, I went to the back field to see the more than two acres of land before my house, and when I came back, I passed by the village, and I also saw the general changes in the village, everyone was able to live a good life yesterday, and I was naturally happy, but why did you go out to sell bamboo baskets?" She looked at him very puzzled, now that he is at this age, he should enjoy his old age at home.
"Hey, I'm old and idle, I'm afraid of getting sick when I'm idle, and now many people in the village say that I used to sell the two acres of land to you, and I sold it to the right person, because with the two acres of land, your business is getting better and better, and everyone's life is getting better and better." The village chief was so excited that he only thought about her good.
"Village chief, in fact, I still have something to discuss with you this time, you see that the population of our village is also quite large, but many children can't go to school, if they can't read, it will be difficult for them to grow up in the future, so I thought about whether to set up a school in our village, so that the children of poor families can go to school together, and if they are restrained, they will symbolically collect a little less, so that the children of every family can go to school."
That's what she came with in mind.
But who knew that the village chief was so excited that he almost shed tears after hearing this: "It's good to run a school, it's good to run a school!" There are a large number of children in our village alone, although a few families gritted their teeth and partnered to invite Mr. Private School, but that was not a long-term solution, and in the end they still had no books to read. ”
The grandson of the village chief's family has partnered with other families to hire a husband, and it is nothing to learn now, but there is still a long time to think about it, and they are afraid that the money will not be enough!
Hua Niang saw that the village chief was very interested in their topic, so she got up and muttered at the door together: "Auntie, you see, the white girl left in a hurry when she came out in the morning and hasn't eaten at home, since she can't leave after sitting here for a while, I think we should make some oil tea, so that she can cushion her stomach." ”
The eldest lady nodded: "Hey, this is good, it just so happens that I still have noodles in the kitchen!" Let's go together, I'll go and make some cakes, just with oil tea, it's delicious and filling. ”
The two of them said that they went to the kitchen together.
Bai Zhi originally wanted the help of youth, but she hadn't spoken at this time, just because Zi didn't know what to say.
"White girl, you came to see my old man today, shouldn't you just come to visit me? Is there anything else going on? If you say so, as long as you can help, my old man will definitely help you. The village chief suddenly remembered something and stopped talking.
Bai Zhi just listened to him quietly and did not interrupt, every word she said was to praise her for doing well in business at the beginning, and now she has helped more people, the original intention of doing business was just to make money and make her life better, but she didn't expect to help so many people casually, she was naturally happy.
"Village chief, it's still a matter of running a school just now, you see that although I have more money now, I want to set up a school so that the poor children in our village who can't afford to go to school can also go to school together, so that they will have a future when they grow up in the future, but I haven't thought about how to choose this place?" Bai Zhi just wanted to say hello to the village chief, if there was a suitable place to talk to her, she was willing to buy her with money, as long as the place was suitable, money would not be a problem.
"Look at what you said, if you give the school land, I still have to charge you money, so am I still human? My old man put the words here today, let's look up the village of the place you choose, as long as you like it, you can use it, it is a good thing to build a school for children, no matter how you toss my old man will support it to the end, if it exceeds the scope of this village, if you fancy the land of other villages, I can also go over to discuss with their village chief, there is room for everything, you can do it with confidence! ”
The village chief didn't expect that she would be gone for so long, and when she came back, she would still wear it to do good deeds, so why didn't she support others?
"Okay, okay, don't say anything now, after I set up the school, there will be more places to trouble the village chief! Don't think it's so easy to run a school! "She is a businessman, and of course she knows that although running a school is a good deed for her, some people will not understand her like the village chief.
"Okay, okay, you can say anything, oops! I really didn't expect the white girl to come back to our poor mountain, and she is really a person who will not forget her roots. The old village chief put away the dry tobacco pouch.
At this time, he calmed down his excitement, and finally knew that this woman was not as simple as running that woman.
"Old man, have you finished talking? Come and eat some oil tea, the big girl hasn't eaten in the morning! This will accompany you here to chat, how can it be good to be hungry? The eldest lady held the oil tea, the flower girl held the cake, and after the two people walked in, the four of them gathered around the table, and the oil tea they ate was on the cake.
Bai Zhi drank the oil tea made by Aunt Ji and thought it tasted very good, but the taste of this oil tea was not bad, fresh and spicy, and it was delicious with the cake.
