183 Running schools
This time I returned to Yangjiazhuang, in addition to participating in Yang Shishi's children's full moon wine, I also had to see the planting of this hybrid corn.
Now it seems that this type of crop rotation is very suitable for the current situation.
The harvest of Yangjiazhuang is not less than last year, and the yield per mu has also increased, in this case, Yangjiazhuang's life will gradually improve.
The surrounding villages can also be driven, but the problem is back to square one, that is, the output of growing grain.
After some thought, Yang Xiaotao felt that it was okay to advance the original plan.
The original plan was that Yang Xiaotao would hand over the technology of hybrid corn to the state, and the state would take action, organize manpower to breed, and then quickly spread it to benefit thousands of households.
But now it seems that the above obviously did not pay attention.
The next best thing is to wait.
After waiting for this wind to pass, look at the problem rationally, and then use Yangjiazhuang as a typical example to persuade the above, so as to continue to promote.
But that's going to take at least two years.
Yang Xiaotao can afford to wait, and Yangjiazhuang can also afford to wait, but other villages may not be able to wait.
So, a temporary plan was proposed, which was large-scale breeding.
Yang Xiaotao thought in his heart that this plan was well thought out.
First of all, spring maize is no longer necessary, and the village can grow other crops at this time.
At this time, breeding, do not have to worry about "being contaminated".
Secondly, this time, Yangjiazhuang has reclaimed a lot of new land in Nanshan, surrounded by forests, which also provides a place for breeding.
Finally, it's the people.
This is exactly what Yang Xiaotao asked the two to discuss.
When they came to Yang Xiaotao's house, Yang Dazhuang and the two sat on the kang, with a plate of peanuts in front of the table, sprinkled with fine salt, and Mrs. Yang next to him was smoking a cigarette bag and pot, with a smile on his face.
It's another bumper year, and my heart is naturally happy.
Yang Xiaotao sent the two to the kang, took out a few canned luncheon meat from his backpack, and the few people sat at the table and talked.
When Yang Dazhuang came, he had already communicated with Yang Shishi, if it was because of the matter in Qinjia Village, the opinion of the two of them was to stand on Yang Xiaotao's side.
As for the final result, with Mrs. Yang in charge, there should be no big deal.
Yang Shishi nodded naturally, whether it was intimacy or reason, he supported Yang Xiaotao.
Unbeknownst to them, after the two sat down and Yang Xiaotao beckoned to eat something, a big thunder broke out.
"Master, Uncle Zhuang, I came to you this time to discuss something with you."
Yang Xiaotao bit the peanuts in his mouth, took out a stack of money from his arms, and slapped it on the table.
At the table, Mrs. Yang and the three of them were stunned.
This stack of money is a lot, at least four or five hundred.
The three of them were still in shock, and Yang Xiaotao spoke again.
"I'm going to build a school in the village!"
"School?"
"What's that?"
Yang Dazhuang and Yang Shishi immediately exclaimed, only Mrs. Yang's hand holding the cigarette stick trembled for a moment, and then regained his expression again, but his gaze at Yang Xiaotao was more gratified.
"Yes, build a school."
"When the time comes, let the children in our village all go to study and be literate and literate!"
Yang Xiaotao said categorically.
When he returned to Yangjiazhuang last year, he found that the children in the village were completely free-range.
There are many children in the family, and even more let the seven or eight-year-old brothers and sisters play crazy on the street.
Perhaps, it was a good childhood.
But it is by no means what Yang Xiaotao wants to see.
These children should be able to read, write, and receive knowledge in the classroom.
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Yang Dazhuang and Yang Shishi looked at Mrs. Yang together.
This kind of thing involves all aspects, and it is better to let the old man make a decision.
"What do you see me doing?"
Mrs. Yang said angrily, and finally raised his hand to Yang Xiaotao, "Listen to what he says!" ”
The two looked at Yang Xiaotao again.
But based on Mrs. Yang's attitude just now, the two of them knew in their hearts that he was in favor of this matter.
"No matter how hard you are, you can't be bitter about your children, and no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education!"
Yang Xiaotao just said two simple sentences, which made the two of them tremble in their hearts.
Subsequently, Yang Xiaotao said his previous plans.
This time, the three of them listened, and their faces were even more shocked than the establishment of the school.
"Xiao Tao, do you mean that you want to promote corn?"
Yang Shishi was the first to lose his breath and asked.
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, as long as there is a suitable venue and manpower, I think it should be possible." ”
"! This has to be done! ”
On the side, Yang Dazhuang pounded the table, his face flushed a little because of excitement.
If it can be planted on a large scale, not only Yangjiazhuang will follow the benefits, but also the surrounding villages.
More importantly, he contributed to this new country.
"The school wants to be built, but you take back the money! There is no need for this in the village. ”
Yang Dazhuang spoke again and pushed the money to Yang Xiaotao.
"Uncle Zhuang, you said that this is the outside."
Yang Xiaotao pushed back, "It's not easy to run a school, not only a house, but also a desk, stool, textbooks, paper and pencils, and a teacher." ”
"It's a lot of money."
"If you take me as a person from Yangjiazhuang, don't shirk!"
As soon as Yang Xiaotao said this, the enthusiasm of Yang Dazhuang and the others dissipated a lot, they didn't think about it, and now they know how difficult it is to run a school after listening to Yang Xiaotao.
But looking at Yang Xiaotao, he agreed more.
At this time, Mrs. Yang spoke.
"The house is easy to find. There used to be a broken kiln in the east of our village, which could be used as long as it was cleaned up. ”
Yang Dazhuang naturally knew where it was, "If there is a lack of beams or something, every household has something to do, it's not a problem." ”
"It's easy to talk about tables and stools, let's go carpenters in our village, and we can get it done in a few months while the farm is free."
A few people, you and I listed the rules and regulations one by one, and the establishment of the school also took shape.
Finally, and most crucially, it is time to find a teacher.
"We can report this to the town, and I believe the town will give some help."
Mrs. Yang finally interjected, and at the end he said, "It's really not good, a few of us who can move, teach words and simple arithmetic first." ”
"I think it's okay, sir, you go out. The monkey cubs in that village feel disobedient? I think it's easy for you to be a headmaster. ”
Yang Dazhuang opened his mouth, and Mrs. Yang laughed, this principal really wanted to try.
Then a few people discussed again, the specific charter was handed over to Yang Xiaotao to be responsible, the village was responsible for the construction of the school, and as for the rest, it was necessary to wait for the school to be built and make it clear to the villagers.
The next day, Yang Xiaotao set off back to Sijiu City, preparing to be busy with the establishment of the school.
Half a month after Yang Xiaotao left, the affairs in the village were busy, the food was handed in, and there were idlers in the village, so Yang Dazhuang began to gather people and tell the story of establishing the school.
With Mrs. Yang in charge, and this matter is a way out for their children, most of the people in the village agree.
Even if you don't agree, you don't dare to say more about the existence of Mrs. Yang's authority and status.
And everyone also heard that this matter was proposed by Yang Xiaotao, and he also took out 500 yuan for this, which is definitely a huge amount of money.
People can pay so much for the village, how can they who enjoy the benefits have the face to refuse?
So, the people of Yangjiazhuang made a strong contribution, and it didn't take long to clean up the broken kiln, move the beams and timbers out of the house, and buy the sand and tiles and bricks in the town, and with the efforts of a bricklayer, the foundations of the three houses were laid.
Then I bought glass, made windows, made doors......
The carpenters in the village are also active, and the sound of saws and axes is heard every day in the house, and there is an endless stream of people who come to help.
The long wooden tables were quickly made, and then the stools and chairs were piled together, waiting for the school to be built and moved in.
With such a big move in Yangjiazhuang, the surrounding villages also inquired clearly, and after knowing that it was a school, they were not only envious or envious.
They don't have the capacity to run a school in these villages, and they need not only material support, but also teachers.
Moreover, there is no such thing as child labor in the countryside these days, and the children of poor families are in charge of the family at an early age.
This half of the child is also a laborer, and he can work in the field, and the older girls have already helped take care of the housework, if they go to school, who cares about the work they leave behind?
The limitations of the times make it difficult for them to make trade-offs, and they may even make wrong judgments.
But under the guidance of those who have a heart, they will always go on the right path.
The news of the establishment of a school in Yangjia Village spread in the surrounding villages, especially the 500 yuan donated by Yang Xiaotao, which immediately caused an uproar after it spread in various villages.
Many people were shocked by Yang Xiaotao's selfless behavior, and then they sighed that there was no such person in their village?
Five hundred dollars!
Of course, if someone praises him, naturally some people will call him stupid.
Especially the people of Qinjia Village, after hearing about this incident, there are not a few people who like it and gossip.
And Qin Huairu's family is the focus of people's conversations.
These days, the Qin family keeps their heads down when they go out, and they don't have the face to talk about it.
If Qin Huairu and Yang Xiaotao were together at the beginning, their Qinjia Village might not be beneficial.
What is like now, alas!
The little girl at the east end of the village, playing with two over-the-shoulder pigtails with both hands, listened to the people around her talk about Yang Xiaotao, her eyes looked at the road outside from time to time, and she secretly made a decision in her heart.
Not mentioning the reaction of the surrounding villages, for the sake of the school, Yang Dazhuang ran to the town a lot.
The leaders of the town were also shocked when they heard about this.
And then, there was no more.
They are also short of educational resources, the country is vigorously building industry, a limited number of intellectuals are gathering in the cities, and there are few people in their towns who can become teachers.
And these teachers also have their own jobs, let them go to Yangjiazhuang, isn't it difficult for strong people?
In the end, the teacher's matter can only be solved by Yang Jiazhuang himself, and the leaders of the town are tempered by Yang Dazhuang, so they can only support a batch of teaching materials, that is, chalk, books and the like, and it is a one-time one, and it will not be that kind of thing in the future.
Yang Dazhuang was a little disappointed, but he had no choice but to wait for Yang Xiaotao's information.
It's December, the weather is getting cooler, the school has been built, and the tables and stools are all in it.
Next, just wait for the spring to start tomorrow and start the official listing.
Since Yang Xiaotao returned to Sijiu City from the village, he has been running around for the school, and recently there has finally been a result.
For the time being, the school mainly teaches Chinese and mathematics, and as for the content of teaching, Yang Xiaotao went to Hongxing Primary School and found the principal of the primary school.
The principal of Hongxing Primary School is an old educator in his fifties, who has dedicated most of his life to the cause of education, and what he wants to see most is to let education blossom on the land of China, so that the new generation can bathe in knowledge and become the backbone of the construction of the motherland.
In particular, after the war, the devastated land needs to be repaired and revitalized by talents.
For him, educating future generations to become talented is his life goal.
When Yang Xiaotao came to him in the name of establishing a primary school in Yangjiazhuang, the old principal was excited.
In these years, it is not easy to build a public primary school, let alone this kind of village-run primary school?
Looking for Yang Xiaotao, the old principal personally inquired about it, learned about the situation in Yangjiazhuang, and also knew the determination to establish the school.
In this regard, the old principal was moved by this feat of benefiting the country and the people, and was willing to help in his heart, but he could not give substantial help.
After all, in the current situation, every piece of paper and pen has to be carefully calculated.
Yang Xiaotao also knew this situation, and he only came here to obtain the right to purchase teaching materials and utensils after reporting to his superiors through the school's channels.
Textbooks for other academic years can be purchased at a later date.
The old headmaster pondered for a moment, and then agreed.
For him, it's just a report.
Time passed in waiting, and it was not until the year later that there was news.
