Chapter 43 Together

"Xiaobao, I like you!" These words kept echoing in Zhang Xiaobao's mind like a curse.

Taking a sneak peek at Chen Xiangjie from the side, Zhang Xiaobao immediately turned his head and pretended to look out of the car window when he happened to look over.

Do you like Chen Xiangjie? Xiao Bao asked himself in his heart, the answer was undoubtedly that he liked him, in fact, the answer was already obvious from the first time he dreamed about Chen Xiangjie.

Since when did you start caring about him? Even Xiao Bao himself didn't know the answer. In fact, if you asked Chen Xiangjie, Chen Xiangjie wouldn't know either.

It's useless to think about it now. The most important thing is that Chen Xiangjie confessed to him. Xiaobao was so entangled. He chose to escape last night. This morning, Chen Xiangjie didn't force him. Like a normal person, it seems that he was not the one who confessed. As soon as this happened, Xiaobao couldn't say anything more, so he could only tangle silently in his heart.

For the first time, Xiaobao didn't get motion sickness in such a rickety van, and followed Li Qiushi out of the car silently, looking at the vibrant mountains outside, his heart suddenly brightened.

If you like it, you can like it, live a new life, do you want to live your life so aggrieved? As for the parents, there are still three years, and they will always think of a way.

Looking at Chen Xiangjie's gaze, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Let's go!"

Seeing Xiaobao like this, Chen Xiangjie's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes. He walked to Xiaobao's side, squeezed his hand quickly, and retracted it as if nothing happened, "Okay."

Zhang Xiaobao: Sure enough, he is a boring person!

While in the car, Manager Zheng and Li Qiushi kept chatting and learned a lot about Xiatang Township. Li Qiushi was also curious about their purpose of going to Xiatang Township. His opponent, he changed the subject and got more news about Xiatang Township.

When they arrived in Xiatang Township, Li Qiushi warmly invited them to visit her home. Xiaobao and Chen Xiangjie agreed after thinking about it.

It will take at least three or four days for them to visit here, and there are no hotels or hotels in the countryside, so they must find someone to live in. They all know Li Qiushi, who is very nice, and Manager Zheng has also known about her home. agreed.

I followed Li Qiushi from the place where I got off the car and walked down. From time to time on the road, I met some people who had finished their work and went home for breakfast. Everyone greeted Li Qiushi with a smile.

"They all know you?" Manager Zheng was curious.

Little Treasure can understand it. At this time, there is a college student in the countryside, and everyone in the village knows it. Especially in a poor place like Xiatang Township, it is even more important to have a college student. So Li Qiu is really like Xiao Bao in this village. Just like in my hometown, there are almost no one I don't know.

After walking for about ten minutes, Li Qiushi finally stopped, looked at an adobe house not far away, and waved. Not long after, a woman with a blue headscarf came out. Seeing Li Qiushi, she was obviously very happy, and walked this way , while talking, because it was in local language, Xiaobao and the others couldn't understand it.

The two talked a few words, the woman looked at them a few times, Xiaobao and the others all smiled and nodded politely, Li Qiushi also looked back at them, and after a while, came over and smiled at them: "This is my mother."

"Hello, Auntie." The four called out.

Mother Li was very enthusiastic, and welcomed them into the house. The house is a one-story bungalow, which is quite large. It should have more than 300 square meters. In fact, the square cannot be counted in the countryside, because the land in the countryside is the least valuable. A foundation like this can be bought for a few hundred dollars.

The wooden door of the house makes a creaking sound when it is opened, and the floor is muddy, but Mama Li cleaned it very well.

Before coming here, they bought a lot of things in the city center, some were snacks for the children, and some were cigarettes and alcohol for the village head and the like.

It's not about gift giving, it's just some human relations. If you are more polite, others will save you three points of face.

Now Manager Zheng gave one of the bags of gifts to Mother Chen, two bottles of wine, two cigarettes, these things are just a wish, they will definitely pay for the accommodation if they live here.

Countryside people don't have too many sleeping rooms. Other houses are either filled with crops or sundries. In short, there is no place for people to sleep.

Fortunately, Li Qiushi's family wanted to get a new room for their daughter because her daughter was admitted to university, so they tidied up one. They originally thought that their daughter would come back from summer vacation to live in it, but they didn't expect to give it to a guest first.

This new room is of course for Chen Xiangjie and Xiaobao. Zheng Yun and Sun Yong sleep in another room that has been tidied up. After Li's mother's skillful hands, it doesn't look too bad.

The dress and temperament of their group have long attracted the attention of this place. At this time, many relatives of the Li family came over to see Qiushi, but in fact they just came to see these handsome City people.

After resting for a while and having lunch at noon, Xiaobao suggested that Li Qiushi take them to the village.

As soon as I turned around, I went to the school. Li Qiushi's house is not far from the school, and it only takes five minutes to get there. When passing by, Xiaobao would give a handful of candy to the children he saw along the way. All of a sudden, the children in the village We all know that there are good-looking big brothers. When we see them, we have never seen them before. They eat delicious candies, and there are more children from all over the world.

Seeing these snot-sucking children, Xiao Bao didn't feel dirty at all, and gave candies one by one, and then told them not to make noise.

When they arrived at school, Xiaobao and the others followed at least thirty or forty children, all shouting candy, and they were so happy.

It's just that Xiaobao and the others couldn't be happy. The school here is even more dilapidated than they imagined. The windows around are open, and it's okay in summer. If it's winter, the children will definitely freeze to death.

"What?" Li Qiushi looked at the school reminiscently, turned around, and saw Xiaobao and the others frowning, then looked at the school again, and said with a smile: "Do you think it's bad? Actually, it's not at all, no matter where it is Both teachers and students feel that this is a very sacred place."

Xiao Bao looked at her sideways, "Is it cold in winter?"

Li Qiushi nodded, then shook his head again, "It's cold but not cold. When I sat there at first, it was very cold, but after the real class, it's not cold anymore."

It was a very simple sentence, but it left several people speechless.

At this time, a white-haired old man came out from inside. What was even more surprising was that his right sleeve was empty. When he was guessing who he was, he heard Li Qiushi shout: "Hello, principal." Bow respectfully like a primary school student.

"It's Qiushi! Is it summer vacation?" Principal Wu smiled kindly.

"Yes, I heard from my mother that the school has an exam tomorrow?" Li Qiushi respected the old principal very much. Without him, the school would not be able to survive.

"Well, it's just in time for you to come back. We still need a few invigilators here, how about it? Come and help me?" Principal Wu raised his eyes and glanced at Xiaobao and the others.

"It's a great honor." Li Qiushi said with a smile, as if he suddenly remembered something, "Ah! These are friends I met in the county. They are all high-level intellectuals. How about letting them help invigilate the exam?"

Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "They are high-level intellectuals, that's right. I'm only a sophomore next semester, so I'm not qualified to invigilate the exam."

"Tanhualang is not qualified to invigilate the exam, and we are even less qualified." Sun Yong interjected at the right time.

These words immediately aroused the interest of Li Qiushi and that teacher Wu, "Tanhua Lang?" Li Qiushi seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "By the way, the National Tanhua with me is called Zhang Xiaobao, you It's that little treasure."

She has been hearing them call him Xiaobao Xiaobao for the past few days, but she doesn't care. Thinking, this little treasure is that little treasure.

Principal Wu looked at Xiaobao. As the principal, even though he was a very remote and poor principal, he had heard Zhang Xiaobao's name before, but he never expected to see a real person.

"It turned out to be Tanhualang. Of course he is qualified to invigilate the exam. I really didn't expect to meet such a young talent." Principal Wu was really happy. As an intellectual of the older generation, he couldn't help being happy when he saw talented people .

On the same day, they visited the school with Principal Wu. When they saw the students listening to lectures on stones and writing on wooden boards padded with bricks, they made up their minds to build their first school of hope. primary school.

Among the four of them, Zheng Yun is obviously the most powerful person. When chatting with Principal Wu, he inquired about the situation of the school without any trace, and learned that the government/government has not allocated funds to them for a long time, so the school has not been able to be built. The conditions here are poor, and it has been a long time since a new teacher has come.

The teachers here are all local or have worked for a long time, and they are already very emotional and reluctant to leave.

In other words, it is not only a school problem, but also a teacher problem.

The few people put all these questions in their hearts, and then slowly observed the mountain behind the school. The mountain is full of trees, which means that if it rains heavily, at least there will be no danger of landslides. There is no need to find another one, and it can be built on the spot.

When he returned to Li Qiushi's house, Li's mother had already prepared dinner, and there was a pot of well-cooked chicken in the middle of the dining table. Xiaobao looked back at the yard, and sure enough, there was a hen missing.

When he first came here, he saw chickens in the yard, one rooster and four hens, and Xiao Bao even joked, "This rooster has four wives, so lucky." '

A hen in the country is also the property of a family. The hen can lay eggs, one a day, and it is also a considerable income for farmers who depend on the sky for food. If a guest comes, it is also a decent dish. Mother Li actually killed the chicken that could only lay eggs.

Obviously, Li Qiushi also had an idea, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, because this is the way of hospitality.

Xiaobao and Chen Xiangjie looked at each other, silently remembering it in their hearts, and when they left, they gave the money to Mama Li together.

Li's father is a taciturn person, so during the meal, except for asking a few people to drink, he would not speak easily.

Xiaobao also noticed that from the beginning to the end, the Li family didn't touch the chicken in the middle. They silently ate a few mouthfuls of rice, and it tasted bitter.

During the meal, they finally got to know the old headmaster. He was a soldier earlier, but his right hand was lost on the battlefield. After he came back, he became a teacher and has been up to now.

And with his own efforts, his left hand can be used as his right hand, he can write beautiful chalk characters, and draw a beautiful picture, so he is the only art teacher in the school.

Both Xiaobao and Zheng Yun admire such a teacher.

There are open-air toilets in the countryside, not to mention the bathroom. After a few people wiped it briefly, they went back to sleep in the house. Chen Xiangjie, who had been silent for a day, suddenly turned over and held Xiaobao down.

"What do you think?" In fact, he already understood what Xiaobao said today, but he wanted a definite answer.

"Then give it a try!" Xiao Bao turned his face away and said something seemingly casual.

The author has something to say: The article about Principal Wu is a real person. He is my primary school teacher. He teaches mathematics. He writes very beautiful chalk characters and draws very well. He is very kind and can't speak with grades Even poor students, he will speak well and teach slowly. In short, he is the best teacher in my opinion.

Thank you, dear, for the grenade, what is it (づ￣3￣)づ╭? ~ Long time no see, the babies have grown up, are they cute?

Chapter 44 What is this called?

After confirming the relationship, the atmosphere between the two is somewhat different.

After all, it is a forbidden love that cannot be tolerated in the world. It is a lie to say that you don't care about other people's opinions. After all, they still have to live in this country, so the two of them still look like brothers in front of people.

Of course, at night, there will be no shortage of kisses and the like.

They promised to help invigilate the exam, of course they would not break their promise.

Speaking of which, there are quite a few students here, four to five hundred, mainly because there is only one elementary school in Xiatang Township, and the junior high school is in a town, not in Lingshi.

It's fun to say that although Xiatang Township is under the jurisdiction of Ling City, it takes two hours by car from his own town, and only ten minutes by car from another city's town, so all junior high schools go to school there.

After listening to Li Qiushi's words, I realized that this place originally belonged to another city, but because of the expansion of Ling City, it was divided into Ling City.

Xiatang Township is very large, but there are not many places where houses can be built to live in, because it is surrounded by mountains, which is similar to Xiaobao's hometown, except that the altitude is higher.

Among them, many students have to climb two or three mountains to get to their homes, at least forty miles away, so the school has built a simple dormitory, students who are too far away can live here, and bring their own rice and enough for a week pickles, go home by Friday.

In the past, school invigilators would always ask people from the village to come, but this time there are Xiaobao and others, of course they are used, especially after the villagers knew that Xiaobao was a candidate for the college entrance examination last year, the villagers respected him even more when they saw him.

"Don't praise me all the time!" As he said, he pointed to Zheng Yun and said, "This is a PhD from Tsinghua University." Then he pointed to Sun Yong and Chen Xiangjie, "Both of them came back from studying abroad, and they are all better than me. How can I afford to praise me in front of them."

Principal Wu and Li Qiushi on the side were taken aback for a moment. Teacher Wu was better. After all, at this age, he only came to his senses after a while. Li Qiushi was different, his eyes were shining when he looked at them.

"Cough! Actually, it's not as powerful as Xiaobao said." Sun Yong coughed and said modestly.

Principal Wu nodded, "You are all the pillars of the country. The future of the motherland needs you. Don't let your talents and talents live up to you."

The old man has been a teacher since he returned to his hometown at the age of twenty. Whether it is Zhang Xiaobao or Zheng Yun, he listens carefully to what he says. This is the most basic respect, and he deserves their respect.

When the time was about the same, Principal Wu gave them the test papers, and Xiaobao was assigned to Class 2, Grade 5. When he handed out the test papers, Xiaobao found that few students had new pencils, and a few had pencils that were new. It is shorter than the thumb and is still in use, and all the clothes have patches.

Not all the children here love to read, there are still some mischievous ones, just ten minutes after the exam started, someone was looking around, eyes wandering around, Zhang Xiaobao walked over with a bamboo stick and knocked it a few times before it stopped After a while, when Xiaobao was out of sight, he started to move around again.

Xiao Bao narrowed his eyes and ignored him, as long as he didn't disturb other classmates or plagiarize.

At that time, elementary schools only had three subjects, Chinese, Mathematics, and General Knowledge, while in the countryside, only Chinese and Mathematics were tested, and it was done in the morning. After lunch, they started correcting the test papers in the afternoon. Xiaobao and the others naturally helped them to the end.

It took an afternoon, and only half of the papers were corrected, and the rest will be read tomorrow. Judging from the results, it can only be said to be average, except for the first grade, there are almost no double hundred. This is very different from the children in the city. difference.

After asking Principal Wu, I learned that those in the fourth and fifth grades are considered top students if they can score more than 80 points in the test. In the final analysis, the teachers here are not good enough, and the school environment is too bad. Most importantly, many of the students here Children, they have to help with the housework after school.

The next day, several people finished grading the papers and finally revealed the purpose of the trip.

Principal Wu seemed a little dazed. After a long time, he asked in disbelief: "What are you talking about? Are you going to donate money to build a new school?"

"Yes, the main purpose of coming this time is to establish a school." Zhang Xiaobao said seriously, stood up, and formally introduced to Principal Wu: "We are Hope Company, and our purpose is to help more people in need, and the school we opened The first project is the school, and Xiatang Township is the first stop we choose. This is the general manager of our company, named Zheng Yun, and this is the general counsel of our company. If you have any questions, you can Ask them, as for me and him, you can ignore it."

After listening to his introduction, Principal Wu was very excited. If it was true, he would be able to close his eyes even if he died.

Soon, everyone in the village knew that Zhang Xiaobao and his party came to donate money to build the school. The township head, deputy head and more than a dozen village heads all rushed to the school. This is a century-old project. If the school can really be built, but For the benefit of future generations, of course, there are also some people who have bad intentions, thinking that since building a school, it must cost a lot of money, and if they make a fortune from it, it is not a fortune.

It's a pity that they are destined to be disappointed, because Zheng Yun made it clear that their company has various departments and does not need the recommendation of the township. Of course, the basic labor will still be found in the township.

Originally, this matter still damaged some interests, and some even approached Zheng Yun, expressing openly and secretly that the establishment of the school would not be so smooth if it weren't for the ZF supervisor, which almost didn't make a few people laugh.

They didn't come to do business to make money, but to give money to build a school, so there was no need to take their trip, so Zheng Yun acted very tough, right? OK! Then don't build it, they will find another place to build a school, I believe other villages can't wait for it.

In private, the content of the conversation is disclosed, and the spread in the countryside is very fast, and all the people in the nearby villages know it all at once.

Good guy, a noble person came to donate to build a school, but the officials above refused to let it be built. Is this because you want the children to have a future? In an instant, all the village names became popular, some with hoes, some with shoulder poles, and even some with machetes.

When the mayor heard the news, he was almost dizzy, what an achievement, who is the idiot who went to the nobleman to say such nonsense.

Immediately came forward and said that there was absolutely no such meaning, and went back to ask Zheng Yun the specific situation, and when he found out who it was, he would never tolerate it, and finally appeased the villagers.

The matter was settled. Zheng Yun selected two people from the company, Li Qiushi's father and a village head from another village. He also found Principal Wu and chose a teacher to supervise the work with Principal Wu himself.

Originally, he didn't want to find Principal Wu, after all, he was old, but Principal Wu said that he had to retire in two years, and wanted to do something for the school before retiring.

In fact, he also doesn't trust others. This is a school for children, and there must be no mistakes.

The supervisors are all paid, and they are all treated as regular employees, so Li Qiushi's mother is very grateful to Zhang Xiaobao and the others. With this money, Qiushi's tuition will be covered.

After deciding to build the school, Li Qiushi's family became uneasy. From time to time, relatives and friends came to ask when the construction would start and how many people would be needed to work, and asked Li's father to help him with good words so that his family could work and earn some money. .

The school can't be completed in a day or two. It's no better than going out to do odd jobs, and it's in front of your own house, and you can't find it even with a lantern.

Of course, no matter whether it is these people or those cadres, they dare not go to Xiaobao and the others again. If they still dare to provoke the nobleman and take away their popularity, the whole village will not spare him.

Luckily, Papa Li was not too stupid, and he pushed them all on the grounds that he had no right, otherwise he would offend the other whoever was introduced, so it is better to let the people over there come forward.

"What's the matter?" Xiaobao came out of the shower, and saw Chen Xiangjie sitting on the edge of the bed staring at him. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt a resentful aura emanating from him.

"You haven't talked to me all day." Chen Xiangjie said word by word.

Xiaobao smiled and went over to kiss him on the cheek, "I've been busy recently!" This is their company's first school, and they are still exploring in all aspects, so of course they will be busy.

Of course, as the boss of the company, he doesn't need to do it himself, but he is still very busy, because he and Sun Yong are looking for teachers in Ling City these days, and the school is built, so it's not good if the teachers can't keep up.

"Should I find an assistant?" Chen Xiangjie touched Xiaobao's face, feeling a lot thinner.

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Sitting next to Chen Xiangjie, he said, "Sun Yong and I have already found a teacher who is willing to go to the countryside. When we go back to Xiatang Township tomorrow to see Principal Wu and the school, come back to my hometown with me?"

"Okay." Chen Xiangjie glanced over the open collar involuntarily, and his eyes darkened. Xiaobao is twenty years old this year, and he is already an adult. Thinking about it this way, the desire/desire in his heart is even heavier, but look at this rudimentary Chen Xiangjie didn't want his and Xiaobao's first meeting to happen in this kind of place, besides, if he wasn't prepared, Xiaobao would get hurt.

Xiaobao is not an ignorant child. He can tell what Chen Xiangjie's eyes mean at a glance. They are in love with each other, and it is natural for them to be together. He has never resisted it.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Just when Xiaobao was thinking about whether to take the initiative, Chen Xiangjie got up abruptly and went to the bathroom quickly, watching Xiaobao dumbfounded.

He even ran away, what is this called?

The author has something to say: I have a cold, it's super uncomfortable, I feel my head weighs a thousand pounds, and my eyes are a little blurry, please help catch the bugs, and change it tomorrow, okay? (づ￣3￣)づ╭?～

Thank you for the hand grenade, dear (づ￣3￣)づ╭?～

Thank you hell demon fire dear mine, what? (づ￣3￣)づ╭?
