The sun is scorching, and the summer sunshine is like sharp arrows, piercing the earth mercilessly, making the cheeks and arms exposed outside the short sleeves hot and painful.
In such scorching heat, Zhu Xiongying began his action to protect the secret of the whirlpool.
As the saying goes, "You are soft-spoken when you eat people, but you are short-handed when you take others." Although Zhu Xiongying is not very old, he still knows the truth that you should not go empty-handed when looking for people to do things.
This school is a combination of primary school and junior high school. Zhu Xiongying studied here for eight years and is very affectionate. Moreover, his grandfather also served as the principal here during his lifetime... so Zhu Xiongying knew very well that he could be in this kind of school. The faculty and staff who persist in the local area are either not good enough and cannot get into other places, or they are unable to leave their hometown and insist on relying on love to generate electricity, or their families are not very short of money and think it is better to have a system.
However, this principal was actually his head teacher and vice principal in junior high school. The old lady was about to retire, but after her grandfather passed away, there was no one to take over as principal, so she had no choice but to persist for a few more years.
The old lady had no material pursuits. She only had one daughter who was married out of town, so she was focused on school and trying to negotiate the contract for the wasteland. Giving ordinary gifts would definitely not work and would only have the opposite effect.
Therefore, Zhu Xiongying spent more than 47,000 yuan on his money. He spent a total of 4,400 yuan on new wireless cameras and smartphones, and a new bicycle for 1,200 yuan, so he still had more than 40,000 yuan on hand. Zhu Xiongying spent 15,000 yuan to buy more than 500 books online and planned to donate them to the school.
On the one hand, it was about giving gifts, and on the other hand, now that he had money, he really wanted to do something for his alma mater.
The reason why I bought the book is because the town is located on a relatively closed island, and it takes a long time to go to the shore and back. In addition, the residents are generally not very wealthy. Most families make a living by fishing or working outside, so I go to school here. Children rarely have time and money to spend on books, and sometimes they cannot even afford the necessary supplementary books for high school entrance exams.
Therefore, among the books Zhu Xiongying bought, in addition to extracurricular books and popular science books, some of them were the latest versions of classic teaching aids, such as May 3rd...
His heart was full of anticipation, as if he had already seen the children swimming in the sea of books.
As for whether the children would say thank you through gritted teeth, Zhu Xiongying couldn't say.
Maybe in the future they will understand whether the pain of studying now is meaningful. Anyway, Zhu Xiongying himself has experienced how difficult it is to make money just by manual labor... Anyway, children on the island, read more There is no harm in reading books. After all, playing games, shooting videos, and following relatives to the shore to work in factories to make screws are common paths for children. The probability of getting ahead is still much lower than studying.
The school is located on the edge of the blue sea. The waves are lapping against the rocks, making a "swishing" sound, intertwined with the calls of seagulls in the distance to form a unique movement... Zhu Xiongying vaguely remembers that a few years ago he lay on his stomach When I woke up from my nap on the table next to the window, I heard this unique background sound of the island.
Although this school, which is a combination of primary school and junior high school, is a palace for children on the island to seek knowledge, the traces of time have left a deep mark on it.
The school's teaching building is an old four-story building. The ivy-covered walls look like a green screen. However, you can see through the ivy that the white paint on the exterior wall has long been mottled and peeled off, revealing the dusty interior. masonry.
Some of the corners of the glass on the windows are incomplete and are barely repaired with plastic sheets and tape. Whenever the sea breeze blows, there will always be a "hula hula" sound in the classroom, and the quality of the tables and chairs in the classroom is also uneven. , some table tops are bumpy and bumpy, and if you don’t pay attention when writing, the pen tip will sink into them, and some chairs are up and down like sitting on a seesaw.
Despite the difficult conditions, the school still tries its best to create a good learning environment for the children. The blackboards in each classroom are wiped clean and chalk is always neatly prepared.
At this time, most of the students in the school have already gone on vacation. Only the students from the second to third grade of junior high school are still making up for classes at this time. There is no way. For them, the educational resources are already lacking. If they are not diligent enough, continuous attendance can make up for their shortcomings. If you can't do it, there will be no chance of taking the high school entrance examination.
Zhu Xiongying was sitting in the passenger seat of a Wuling Hongguang van without air conditioning. When he jumped out of the car and walked into the school, it was the hottest time in the afternoon. The sun shone through the broken windows in the classroom, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. The teacher They taught hard, and most of the children were also listening attentively. Even though the summer heat on the island was unbearable, there was no trace of impatience in the classroom... Those who couldn't listen were all sleeping at this time.
Generally speaking, although these children live in a difficult environment, their thirst for knowledge and ambition have not diminished at all, just like him back then. Therefore, Zhu Xiongying was convinced that what he bought was right, and the books made him They can gain access to more knowledge and thus change their destiny.
Just when Zhu Xiongying was standing at the door of the class talking to the female principal, the teacher who was giving a lecture also received the news.
"Hey, you boys in the last row, follow and move the books."
A few tall boys in the back row, who were sleeping heavily, heard this and ran out with a smile. This is how students are, there are those who love to learn, and there are those who don't. Sometimes it's not that they don't understand the principle of studying hard. But I was bored just by reading the questions and couldn't learn at all.
Therefore, since you can't go to the basketball court to play, it's good to move the books a few times to get some fresh air.
When the boys in the back row walked into the classroom carrying heavy books, other students immediately gathered around. They looked at the new books curiously, with bright smiles on their faces.
There are more than 500 books. The number is not large for the entire school, but there are also few classes in the school. Therefore, it is enough to provide a book corner for each class of junior high school students. The teaching supplements are mainly for the high school entrance examination. It is used, so it is only reserved for this class of students who are about to enter the third year of junior high school.
The teacher said at this time: "Thank you quickly, brother Xiongying, for bringing so many books to you on a hot day. I will learn from your brother Xiongying well in the future. He was admitted to the provincial capital university this year."
Well, Zhu Xiongying is quite a celebrity in this school because he is the only one among the high school students on the island to pass the first class exam this year, so the school specially posted "Congratulations to the 2011 graduates of our school." "Zhu Xiongying was admitted to the provincial capital university" banner.
The students all said, "Thank you, Brother Xiongying!"
This made Zhu Xiongying a little embarrassed, and he waved vigorously at the students.
The female principal looked at this scene and felt a little emotional for a moment.
The students he taught are now giving back to their alma mater.
"Come to my office and talk about that wasteland."
When they arrived at the principal's office, the communication between the two went smoothly. The female principal was very aware of Zhu Xiongying's family conditions, and knew that if there was no improvement, Zhu Xiongying might not be able to afford these books.
Zhu Xiongying also knew that if he made up other lies or pretended to be someone else, he might not be able to deceive the teacher who knew him well.
Therefore, Zhu Xiongying said frankly that he won the lottery...
Well, anyway, Zhu Xiongying felt that what happened to him recently was similar to winning the lottery, or in other words, the probability was even lower than winning the lottery.
After learning that Zhu Xiongying went to work on the shore and accidentally bought a lottery ticket and won hundreds of thousands, the female principal was relieved.
In this case, Zhu Xiongying's new mobile phone purchase and donation of books to the school can be explained, and this is also the most reasonable reason for ordinary people to become rich overnight.
"My grandfather wanted to be buried in a forest before he died, called..."
"The soul returns to its hometown."
"right."
Zhu Xiongying nodded quickly: "And I'm thinking that it's not easy to lose money by planting a piece of forest land. If you plant it now, if you can't find a job after graduating from college, you can come back and plant trees, and go fishing when you have nothing to do. It's also good." "
Well, the word "I am thinking" was learned by Zhu Xiongying from a Northeastern boy who ran a takeaway. I have to say that the Northeastern dialect is indeed very magical.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's better to plant trees than to spend them indiscriminately elsewhere. It will also be a guarantee in the future."
The headmistress sighed. She was really afraid that Zhu Xiongying would suddenly become rich from extreme poverty and become a different person. But now it seems that Zhu Xiongying has not changed his original intention.
"Do you know the land contract price?"
Zhu Xiongying asked his neighbor's grandmother in the past two days and roughly learned that on this remote island, the price of high-quality paddy fields per acre is between 800 and 1,000 yuan; the price of low-quality paddy fields is between 300 and 800 yuan; The price of high-grade dry land is between 500 and 600 yuan; the price of low-grade dry land is between 200 and 500 yuan; the price of wasteland is between 100 and 200 yuan; and the price of forest land is between 50 and 200 yuan.
And this wasteland is indeed a pure wasteland. It can be planted with trees, but there is not enough farmland. In addition, the geographical location is too remote, so it has always been in a state of abandonment.
Zhu Xiongying nodded, and soon the two parties agreed on the terms of the contract.
