It happened that Wang Manyin had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he simply decided to go to the village primary school to take a look.

In his heart, he still has some ideas.

The Jar Village Primary School is located in a vacant lot at the end of the village, surrounded by many poplars and willow trees.

Earlier, here is a dragon king temple that sits in the north and faces south, there are three main halls, the main hall is for the dragon king, and the side hall is the shrimp soldier and crab general.

Probably because of the Loess Plateau people's extreme thirst for rain, according to the memory of the original body, almost every village in the Shibi Festival used to have a dragon king temple. Generally, the Dragon King of the East China Sea is enshrined, but there are also three other Dragon Kings separately, or four Dragon Kings are enshrined together.

Of course, in the prosperous era, no gods are bright.

The Dragon King Temples in all the villages of the Shibi Festival were destroyed, and this one in the Jar Village was no exception.

The commune came and destroyed several halls, even the bricks and tiles were removed, leaving only an earthen theater and three collapsed walls.

Later, when the primary school was run in Jarzi Village, a few holes were dug on the cliff face behind the courtyard and the entire vacant land was utilized.

Now that the students are on vacation, the whole school is empty.

The school gate was open, and Wang Manyin entered easily.

It's been a few years, and there hasn't been much change on campus. There is a very non-standard basketball hoop on the playground...... It was established after the arrival of the educated youth.

After so many years of rain and sun, the wooden basketball hoop has become tattered and ready to fall apart.

Not far from it, there are two half-human-high platforms, separated by a row of bricks. This is the table tennis case built by the school, and it is also a place for students to compete between classes, which has caused a lot of conflicts. In addition, a rectangular sand pit was dug in the ground against the wall, and half a pit of sand was laid inside.

Walking through the playground, Wang Manyin came to the door of a classroom, and looked through the window to see a crack in the black kiln roof, almost two fingers wide. Looking at the adjacent caves, there are also gaps.

After Wang Manyin hurriedly looked at it, he determined that there was no value in continuing to repair the caves, so he could only choose another place to dig again. For safety reasons, this time it is definitely not possible to dig the kiln, and it is better to use stones or bricks to make the kiln.

Listening to the meaning of the orchid, it seems that the village cadres also plan to do so.

It's a pity that there is no money in the village's account, no matter how good the idea is!

From the Yuhong class to the fifth grade, plus the first and second years of junior high school and the teachers' offices, at least ten holes of caves must be hooped. There was originally a junior high school in Jarzi Village, but in the early years, it was advocated that "you don't go to junior high school without a team, and you don't go out of a club when you go to high school", so it was opened together with the elementary school.

Wang Manyin's family used square bricks to hoop the kiln a few years ago, so they also understand the basic market.

An ordinary hole in a cave costs about 4,000 to 5,000 square bricks. Now a brick costs three cents, a hole in the kiln is more than 100 yuan, and a ten-hole brick kiln is 1,500 yuan.

In addition, you have to buy sand, cement, lime, wood...... Again, it's not a small amount.

The raw materials of the ten-hole cave alone cost three or four thousand yuan, and the labor cost has not been calculated. Now the big worker costs two yuan a day, and the small worker has one piece. Each hole kiln has to have at least six major work; Each of the big workers had four more small workers waiting.

If you want to make a good ten-hole kiln hoop, it is impossible without tens of thousands of pieces. However, if you find someone from the village to dig the kiln, you can save the wages.

Lying in the quilt with his mother-in-law in his arms at night, he said what he was going to do.

"What, full silver, our family donated money to repair the school in the village?" Orchid sat up straight and looked at her husband in surprise.

Confirming that her husband was not joking, Orchid was silent for a moment, and then asked, "How much does it cost, can our family afford it?" ”

This is her mother-in-law, even if she disagrees in her heart, she will still support it silently.

"Listen to me slowly......" Wang Manyin pulled Orchid into his arms again, "Orchid, this matter is just my own foolishness, and I didn't tell the people in the village." If you don't agree, forget it. ”

This is a big deal, of course, you have to discuss it with your mother-in-law first.

"I'm willing to donate some, the key hoop ten holes will cost a lot of money. We've worked so hard to earn ...... It's a little distressing. "Orchid tells the truth.

"I don't have anything to worry about...... No matter how hard and tired I have been over the years, I have always felt very happy. I married a good mother-in-law and three children...... "Wang Manyin hugged the orchid and said affectionately, "Compared to anyone in the jar village, I feel the happiest!" ”

"Me too," Orchid replied in a low voice, listening to her husband's heartbeat.

Wang Manyin was completely from his heart, and he always felt that he had gained enough. Even in the most difficult times, the family never worried about food.

Coupled with the existence of space, Wang Manyin himself is not too eager for money. Of course, this state is not like what a certain bigwig said in later generations, "not interested in money".

The main thing is that he has such confidence...... The antiques and stamps stored in the space alone can easily sell for millions in a few decades.

To put it mildly, even if there is no such thing. When the time comes, go to the stock market and make a few houses by virtue of drinking alcohol and taking medicine.

In Wang Manyin's small notebook, there are too many opportunities to make a fortune in later generations.

Because of this, he is relatively indifferent to money and is willing to do what he can for the village.

In the final analysis, Wang Manyin still has some feelings.

If you travel to this world just to make money, it's a bit too vulgar.

"I support whatever you do, building bridges and roads to build schools is a good thing. When we didn't make any money last year......" Orchid hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The husband is willing to do good deeds, of course, he must support it.

Immediately, she hesitated to speak: "Let's donate so much money at one time, we won't make mistakes and be criticized, right?" ”

In case of a problem with donation, it is better to continue to hide it.

"Don't worry, it's not like it was before. Doing so will only do good. Wang Manyin comforted.

For a long time to come, there were still many twists and turns. Donating money to build a school can get a good reputation, and it will definitely be good for you.

Besides, Wang Manyin did not plan to donate alone, but was ready to mobilize the people in the village.

Building a school is not your own family's business, and the rest of the families have to go to school too. In addition, the development of the jar village has been good in recent years. Most families have living money in their hands, and they are definitely willing to take out ten or twenty yuan.

And you can also go to the county to make a relationship...... Bai Mingchuan has been stationed in the tank village for seven or eight years, and he must talk about human feelings.

After all, his family can pay about 2,000 yuan.

I heard that I only needed to take two thousand yuan, and the orchid didn't say anything.

***

With the permission of his mother-in-law, Wang Manyin went directly to the village to discuss with Wang Manchu after breakfast.

When he arrived, the two of them were planning to work in the fields.

Since the implementation of the joint production contract in Jar Village last year, Wang Manhoard's chic and leisurely days have also come to an end.

He had two sons.

The eldest son's name is Wang Haijun, and in the early years, he had a low level of skill and a low level of skill, and he went to work in the commune with all his heart. For this reason, Wang Manchu kept looking for someone to entrust him.

Tossing and turning, but the dog bites the urine and bubbles the empty joy.

Now Wang Haijun still hasn't left Jar Village, but has only become the principal of the primary school.

The second son, Wang Haiyang, caught up with a good opportunity, and when he was recruited in the past seven years, he went to the county fertilizer factory as a worker.

He couldn't count on his two sons to live in the fields, and Wang Manchu now had to carry the hoe himself. This is similar to Tianfutang in Shuangshui Village.

Seeing that Wang Manyin came to the door, Wang Manchu originally wanted to say a few words of gossip and go to the ground.

At this moment, he suddenly raised his voice: "What, Manyin, are you really fake?" ”

"Brother Manchu, what am I lying to you about this kind of thing."

"Manyin, you're really ...... Didn't say it. Wang Manchu didn't know what words to use to describe it, so he could only give a thumbs up.

In short, the mood is a little complicated.

Don't look at Wang Manyin, who doesn't hold any position in the village, he has always belonged to the common people. But after a lot of things, Wang Manchu thought that the other party was a character.

Usually encountering problems that cannot be solved, he also takes the initiative to come to the door to discuss.

Wang Manchu originally wanted to find the matter of repairing the school this time, but he didn't expect people to take the initiative to come.

"Wait a minute, I'll bring other village cadres to a meeting, let's discuss and discuss, and strive to repair the school as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll go find Uncle Lian Shun......"

At this point in time, most of the people have already gone to work in the fields.

Wang Manyin and the two ran around and finally got the village cadres together.

When Wang Manchu opened the door of the public kiln of the brigade headquarters, he only felt a musty smell coming to his nose.

Immediately, the others also coughed.

"Branch secretary, what meeting are we going to have, I haven't had a serious meeting for more than half a year." Wang Zhanjun coughed, and his words were full of regret.

The rest of the people were also a little sad.

More than half a year ago, it was still the most prosperous place in the village, and almost every night everyone had to gather together for a meeting to rack their brains for the development of the village.

Now there is a thick layer of dust on the table on the ground, and even the "Agricultural Village" awards and pennants pasted on the wall are also dusty and invisible.

And without them, the life of the members is not too bad, but better.

"Sunny, rat!!" Suddenly, Wang Yanqiang exclaimed.

I saw two gray-brown rats flee from the cave in panic, and then disappeared.

"Forget it, let's have a meeting in the courtyard." Wang Manchu originally planned to pay attention to a sense of ceremony, but now looking at the appearance in the conference room, if he wants to clean it, he is afraid that it will take half a day, so he simply decides to change the location.

After everyone moved a chair and sat in the courtyard, he cleared his throat and said: "The matter to be discussed today is very simple, there are several holes in the original primary school cave in our jar village, which have cracks and need to be rebuilt......

As expected, the rest of the people were also very surprised when they heard that Wang Manyin planned to donate 2,000 yuan to build the school. They finally understood why they were sitting here!

Of course, a few people knew that Wang Manyin made a lot of money selling spiced melon seeds...... The key is to donate 2,000 yuan at a time!

Everyone admired it in their hearts, and praised it again and again.

After everyone thoroughly digested the news, Wang Manchu said his thoughts: "Two days ago, Lian Shun and I calculated that it would cost more than 4,000 yuan to rebuild the school. Let's go to the county in two days to find Director Bai, and we should be able to solve it a little bit. There is a shortage of money left, how can we discuss it? ”

"What can you do, the village is going door-to-door. The big head has been solved, and you can't stop the car on the small head. A family charges ten yuan, and if you pay more, you can make up more than 1,000 yuan. ”

After a pause, Wang Yanqiang said again: "Let's make a statement first, my family will donate thirty yuan!" If it weren't for the fact that the contracted fish pond was a little tight this year, I could have done more. ”

A few years ago, there was a lot of movement in the contracting of the Dongshan Ridge Fish Pond, but the thunder was heavy and the rain was small. Until the end of the New Year, no one was willing to come forward.

After Wang Yanqiang and Wang Manyin discussed, they gritted their teeth and contracted it at a price of 300 yuan per year. During this time, he found someone to clear the pond and buy fish fry, and went out for a few hundred yuan.

Everyone knows Wang Yanqiang's situation, so they can't be less, and they have expressed their stance of thirty. As the head of a village in Jar Village, Wang Manchu couldn't dilute it, so he immediately decided to give out fifty yuan.

In this way, several village cadres made up 300 yuan.

After they finished discussing, Wang Manyin said again: "Brother Manchu, I still have an idea, let's listen to it and see if it can be done." Since we have decided to rebuild the kiln, we will simply set up a fire wall in the classroom in one step. In winter, when the children go to school, they can also be warm. In addition, the windows of the cave can be replaced with glass, and the light is better...... I'll pay for this. ”

The wall of fire is no stranger to everyone.

To put it bluntly, it is no different from a fire kang. It's just that most rural households don't do this because they need to burn wood and coal.

However, when some people in the commune were making kilns, they would build a special fire wall.

"Why do you want to do this, to build a wall of fire, it takes at least 200 bricks, and ten holes are 2,000 bricks. With this money, it is better to get a stove in the classroom to burn coal and make a fire, which is simple and trouble-free. Wang Lianshun replied.

Hearing this, Wang Manyin hurriedly interrupted: "Uncle Lian Shun, don't be like this." There are no chimneys in the classroom, what if someone dies? ”

The ventilation of the cave itself is not good, and the doors and windows are closed in winter. If carbon monoxide poisoning occurs then, that's a good thing to do.

"Yes, yes, you can't do that," Wang Manchu was startled and hurriedly vetoed the proposal.

Everyone knows that there have been a lot of accidents in the Shibijie Commune over the years because of the coal stove.

For this reason, it was repeatedly propagated in the commune.

Even so, there are people who use coal stoves in the caves to keep warm in winter.

In fact, not to mention that people do not have a clear understanding of the dangers of coal burning now, even in later generations, similar accidents can often be seen on the Internet.

The new school will take at least half a year to build, and children cannot always study at home.

After some discussion, it was decided to vacate the brigade headquarters as a classroom for the time being. Anyway, there are basically no meetings now, and a few caves are idle.

Wang Manyin doesn't like to procrastinate when doing things. Not long after the meeting, he went home and took out 2,000 yuan and handed it over to Wang Manchu and Wang Xiuzeng. After the other party counted, he also deliberately made a receipt.

When it was dark, the loudspeaker that had been silent for a long time sounded again: "Comrades of the majority of members, please pay attention!" ...... at eight o'clock tonight"

The horn sounded so suddenly that it panicked the people in the village. Many people have inquired, is there something big? Or as the late Tian Er of Shuangshui Village said, the world is about to change again? Or is it that the fields that have just been divided for less than a year are going to be combined to form a big collective?

However, the speculation did not last long, and the answer was soon obtained.

Wang Manyin's family donated 2,000 yuan to build a school, which once again caused a sensation. The whole venue is like a pot of boiling water, constantly boiling!
