Getting rich in chronology

Chen Yu carried back the box of popsicles, grandma said that she shouldn't spend money recklessly, but her face was full of smiles.

The neighbor's grandmother who came to visit was envious: "Old sister, you are so lucky, my grandson still thinks of you when eating popsicles."

Grandma Shen laughed so hard that she almost lost her eyesight, and generously distributed a popsicle to the old sister: "Hey, our cat, I'm not praising you. She reads well and is promising herself. That doesn't count." What, baby is so sweet!"

The old lady pointed to the small building behind, the only good house in the village: "The cat said that we have never lived in a good house in our life, and insisted on using money to repair the house for our old couple. I feel sorry for my old woman who has never eaten such a thing." Butter ice cream, bought it for me all the way from the town, tell me, what are you doing so hard for!”

With a complaining tone and showing off, the old lady next door tasted the sour taste from the sweet popsicle in her mouth.

But think about it carefully, if she had such a promising and filial grandson as Shen Mao'er, she would be better than the old lady of the Shen family!

A box of popsicles, shared among the elders, certainly can't all eat the same, but everyone is not picky, happily chatting about the cheap popsicles.

Have you really never eaten?Cream ice cream may not have been eaten, but salt water popsicles, when they were little dolls, would act coquettishly and pray to their parents, and bought them on a hot summer day, that was the happiest summer memory.

At that time, salt water popsicles cost only one penny, but now they are worth two cents.

There were also those who were reluctant to eat and wanted to give up the popsicles they got to their children. Zhang Guizhi secretly gave the bean paste popsicles he got to his youngest son.

Dong Sanlin smiled: "Mom, eat it. I've already eaten it. Brother Maoer bought me a cream ice cream. It's delicious."

Zhang Guizhi was startled, and Dong Sanlin continued: "Everything he bought for Zhuangzhuang, he bought me a copy. He said I was his younger brother."

"Okay, okay..." Zhang Guizhi's eyes were red, and he covered his mouth and choked up, "San Linzi, our mother and son have met a good man, you will remember your kindness in the future, you know?"

"I know, mom, eat it quickly, the popsicle is going to melt."

"Hey." Zhang Guizhi ate the popsicle, sweet from his mouth to his heart, this day is getting more and more hopeful.

Huniu's prediction was right, because she asked her brother to buy her too many things and was almost spanked by her mother.

Fortunately, Chen Yu endorsed this time, and stopped her beating.

The bought stationery was also distributed, Shen Zhuang was not at home, his share was handed over to his parents first, and will be given to him when he comes back.

Hu Niu Thief Xixi waved to Chen Tao, the two sisters hid aside and distributed colored rubbers and rubber band handkerchiefs, laughing and laughing happily.

After the distribution was over, Taoya blushed and came to thank Chen Yu with her gift.

Chen Yu was sitting under the eaves, waving his grandma's cattail fan, his ears were full of laughter, very leisurely.

When the TV was moved to the yard at night, everyone in the village who heard the news came, carrying small stools, carrying fried melon seeds and fried peanuts in their pockets, and even those who had dinner late came directly with bowls.

The yard was crowded, the youngest dolls sat on their father's shoulders, the older leather children climbed on the fence of Shen's house, and the uncles in the yard stretched their necks to watch.

Fortunately, children nowadays have good eyesight, no nearsightedness, and they can see clearly from such a distance.

On the second day, brother Tiantang took Chen Yu to the two aunts' houses for a walk, and he recognized the door.

After two days of leisure, I went out to play with my younger siblings during the day, fishing, touching shrimps, climbing trees and picking fruits. At night, almost the whole village watched TV together, and fell asleep with the sound of cicadas at night.

Journey to the West is popular in the whole village. Children, big and small, each hold a "golden cudgel", shouting to and fro every day.

Huniu's younger brother Shitou, after realizing what kind of personality Second Senior Brother is, refuses to be called "Second Senior Brother" anymore, but there is only one Senior Senior Brother, and the small group almost splits because of this.

A few days later, the person Shen Qiao helped find to run the bursary arrived, a man and a woman.

The man's name is Wu Kang, in his thirties, he has done poverty alleviation work and has relevant experience.The woman's name is Yao Jie, she is younger, she looks only in her 20s, she looks well dressed, and her family conditions should be good.

Shen Qiao told Chen Yu about the situation of these two people in advance on the phone, and according to Chen Yu's needs, he was looking for Wu Kang.

Yao Jie was inserted by someone else, Shen Qiao didn't say what happened specifically, but the person who sent her here promised that it doesn't matter if she is paid or not, and if she delays work, she can be kicked out of the team at any time.

Of course, that's not what the original words said. It should be a little more tactful, but that's what it means.

Shen Qiao hinted to Shen Yu on the phone that Yao Jie's family has some background, let her join, and use her family's connections when encountering troubles.

Chen Yu roughly understood that this girl might have caused trouble and the family was upset, so she sent her out to practice.

Her family didn't know where they heard the news that Shen Qiao was looking for someone for him, and they probably thought that his student aid activity was a good thing and could train people, so they sent the child here.

It's okay to send it over. Although Yao Jie looked unhappy with a straight face, he still had basic manners.

Of these two people, of course Wu Kang is the leader and Yao Jie is the deputy. He met with Chen Yu and first talked about the road construction and student assistance.

Chen Yu intends to continue this activity, and he has also thought about setting up a related student fund. He does not need external donations, nor does he want to make it large.

As far as the property in his hand is concerned, a part of the income is put into the foundation every year to donate to build schools in impoverished mountainous areas, and to subsidize the tuition and living expenses of poor students.

There is no rush to deal with the Foundation. We will wait until he returns to the city. After all, he is not specialized in this business. His ideas are relatively crude, and he needs to find a professional to understand and supplement.

Although Wu Kang and Yao Jie were found by Shen Qiao, it is still uncertain whether they will get along well. Shen Yu is going to see how they are doing this time.

Wu Kang did have experience. After sitting down, he first asked Chen Yu for his appeal. After knowing that he wanted to build the road from Shangkanzi Village to Hongqi Town and donate money to two schools in the town, Wu Kang took a pen and a notebook and asked. many problems.

For example, what kind of road is going to be built, leveling the original foundation, filling potholes, and removing stones, this is also road repairing.

Or get some gravel and build a gravel road.

Chen Yu: "Build concrete roads."

He thought carefully, the young people in the village can go out to work, but what about the elderly and children?Stay at home as left-behind elderly or left-behind children?

The best way is to let them get rich in their hometown.

Every country has a slogan: If you want to get rich, build roads first.

Given the current conditions, he doesn't know how long it will take to build the road to Shangkanzi Village, so he might as well build it himself.

Chen Yu asked Mr. Shen that Hongqi Town is still in the county, and it takes nearly an hour to walk, but the road to the county town has been repaired with funds allocated by the town government and the county.

Not all cement roads, there is a section of gravel roads, but it is already good, and there is no problem in opening to traffic.

Therefore, Chen Yu only needs to repair the road from Kanzi Village to the town, and open up the road. It will be convenient to travel in the future, and some roads that can be straightened must be straight.

Take children going to school as an example. It used to take more than 40 minutes, but now it can save at least ten minutes.

If you ride a bicycle, it will be faster. The road is repaired, and the most convenient thing is the car.

Wu Kang heard him say that the concrete road was going to be repaired, he raised his eyes to look at Chen Yu, said nothing, and took notes silently.

Then I heard Chen Yu talk about the situation of the two schools. After he finished speaking, Wu Kang asked: "Do you want to build a new teaching building for the school, donate some learning materials, and subsidize some poor students?"

Chen Yu recalled the two schools he saw, he wanted to directly donate to build the two schools...

To donate to build is to rebuild the two schools.

Wu Kang waited for him to finish speaking before putting down his pen.

"Let's talk about road construction first. You want to build cement roads. We can cooperate with the local government on this matter..."

Wu Kang broke it down and told Chen Yu in detail. He said that he did not recommend that Chen Yu spend all the money on road construction.

According to Chen Yu's original idea, he planned to pay for the road construction by himself, but Wu Kang totally disagreed.

"It's a good thing that you want to donate money to build roads, especially for the villages that the road passes through. It provides them with great convenience. Labor can be provided by these villages instead of you spending extra money to find people."

Chen Yu understood a little: "I spend money to buy materials, but they provide manpower?"

Wu Kang nodded: "Almost, in fact, you don't need to buy all the materials. There are local resources for things like sand, soil and stones, and they can mine them for road construction."

Chen Yu was a little dazed, let others dig the sand and gravel by themselves, and let them repair the roads by themselves.

"So I donate money to build roads, what do I donate?" He couldn't help asking.

"Cement." Wu Kang took a pen to write and draw in his notebook, "It is estimated that the length of the road you want to repair is about five kilometers, and the specific amount of cement needed needs to be calculated separately. It is a necessary expenditure to repair the cement road." .”

Chen Yu understood that the necessary expenditure meant that the villagers would never be able to achieve it by themselves. After all, there was not even a cement factory in the town, and even if there was, they would not provide cement for free to build roads.

"let me think again……"

"Okay, let's move on to the school issue. According to what you said, the middle school has a new teaching building. I suggest you build on this..."

Well, the school did not agree with him to rebuild them all. What Wu Kang meant was to tear down and rebuild those buildings that were old enough to affect learning and life on the basis of the original ones.

It is not recommended for him to donate too much teaching materials, because this is a public school, and their main source of materials should be the government, not relying entirely on Chen Yu.

All in all, after all the calculations, he saved Chen Yu a lot of money.

On the one hand, Chen Yu felt that what he said was very reasonable, on the other hand, he felt that something was weird.

After the conversation, Yao Jie, who had been listening to their discussion without saying a word, snorted softly, and gave Wu Kang a sideways look: "It's shameful to search and search for such a small donation."

Chen Yu: "..."

Wu Kang remained unmoved, as if he hadn't heard her words, and said to Chen Yu himself: "Think about it first, I'll go to the field to investigate, this matter is based on your wishes, and what to do in the end is up to you to decide."

Chen Yu was the payer, he made his suggestion, whether to accept it or not was up to Chen Yu to decide.

After Wu Kang left, Chen Yu ran to ask his grandfather for advice. Although his grandfather had never studied, Chen Yu always felt that he was a very wise old man.

Moreover, the road construction has something to do with the villagers. Asking his grandfather is also counting as collecting information.

After hearing what he said, Grandpa Shen couldn't hide the pride on his face. This is a child of his Shen family. He builds bridges and paves roads, benefits the village, builds schools and assists teachers, and has been blessed for a hundred years.

"I think what Comrade Wu said makes sense." Mr. Shen said, "I can't say a big reason, but Maoer, Sheng Mi is kind and Mi Qiu, you are considerate of everything, and you are willing to spend money. Someone will remember you Well, but there are people who will be fed up."

Not everyone in this world knows how to be grateful, there are always people who are greedy, and he doesn't want Mao'er to spend money to do good things and invite evil people to talk.

Chen Yu was thoughtful: "Then do you think, if we follow Mr. Wu's method and let the villagers build roads by themselves, would they be willing?"

"Why don't you want to do this, what a wonderful thing." Mr. Shen said immediately.

The road is for everyone to walk. Usually the weather is good, but if there is a little bad weather, I don’t know how much it will delay things.

Not to mention the troubles of the baby going to school. There was a tragedy in the village. The daughter-in-law of the old Wang family had a difficult labor when giving birth to the baby.

The midwife in the village had no choice but to take her to the hospital in the middle of the night. The old cow in the village drove his own ox cart to help deliver her. However, he was unlucky. It was dark at night and he couldn't see the road clearly. The wheels got stuck on stones and overturned the cart.

Pregnant women with dystocia can't stand such a toss, and they are gone before they are sent to the hospital.

If there was a concrete road at that time, even at night, if you walked on the smooth road, the bullock cart would definitely not overturn.

You can't tell the cat about this, it makes people feel sad to hear it.

On behalf of the Shen family, the old man stated: "Our family is definitely happy. To be honest, there must be lazy people in the village who don't want to do this job, but the more this is the case, the more you can't spend money to hire people to repair this road."

Chen Yu: "Grandpa, I understand."

Mr. Shen was very proud of being able to give his grandson some advice: "We have to discuss with Fangjiaping about which section to repair."

Fangjiaping Village is the village where my aunt married, and I must pass through this village when I go to Kanzi Village to go to the town, so the road construction is also related to Fangjiaping Village.

Now that he felt that Wu Kang's suggestion was advisable, Chen Yu stopped being entangled, and immediately went to find Wu Kang who was running all gray and came back, saying that what he said was reasonable, and he would do as he wanted.

Yao Jie, who was also exhausted from running, showed a surprised expression.

She knows more about Chen Yu than Wu Kang. She knows that Chen Yu has two factories and several stores under his name. Not long ago, that toy factory had received foreign exchange orders worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and he would never be short of money if he was short of anything.

Such a rich rich man, doing some good deeds and doing something like this, is it embarrassing?

Yao Jie found it unbelievable, but before coming here, she had been repeatedly warned by her family, and no matter how much she had opinions in her heart, she held back and didn't speak out.

She can hate Wu Kang, but Wu Kang has nothing to do with her, but if he offends Chen Yu, Chen Yu can let her go in minutes.

Hearing that Chen Yu said to do it according to his idea, Wu Kang rarely showed a smile, and explained a few more words: "I heard that you want to do long-term student aid activities, this is a huge project, no amount of money is enough , so if you can save a little bit, it’s a little bit, and the standard doesn’t have to be so high, and the money saved here may be able to subsidize another school with poor conditions.”

Chen Yu is already very convinced of him, how can he alone have the ability to subsidize all poor students in poor schools, the country has spent many years in its efforts.

He always thought about how much he could do.

Wu Kang is indeed a professional, much more thoughtful than him.

After the two made an agreement, Wu Kang went to contact the local government. In order to facilitate his work, he still had an official identity.

But Shen Qiao said that if it is decided to use Wu Kang, he can transfer his personnel relations over at any time, or he can keep his official status to deal with the local government.

Even Chen Yu didn't have to pay him his salary, and his salary was taken from his original unit.

Of course, Chen Yu will not be reluctant to part with this little money, but he can also see what the status of his family's bridge is now, giving people what they want, a national treasure is nothing more than that.

Someone took over the job, Chen Yu only had to pay, and before it was time to pay, Chen Yu resumed his previous life as a salted fish.

Every day, I hang out with my younger siblings and even my nephews and nieces to be coaxed to play. From time to time, I go for a walk around the town by bike, mainly to call my boyfriend.

I have been there many times, and the post office staff all know him. After seeing him talking for a long time, I even asked him if he wanted to drink saliva...

Chen Yu didn't know that He Fang and Lu Juan had discussed in private when he would donate those eleven boxes of chalk, and why they couldn't wait.

Especially Sister Lu, she rushed to tell Principal Li about this matter. If it turns out to be yellow, although Principal Li will not say anything, she still feels very embarrassed.

I often see Chen Yu coming to make calls, and the money spent on the phone bill is tens of dollars, and it doesn't seem like he can't afford chalk.

But it's inappropriate for them to hear people talking about things like donations, and it's impossible to ask them face to face. It's summer, and the corners of Sister Lu's mouth are almost blistering with anxiety.

On this rest day, Sister Lu was working at home, when she heard someone push the door, she poked her head in and saw that it was her cousin.

The cousin brought a basket of juicy cucumbers and said with a smile: "It's a big basket from the parents of the students. I'll bring you some."

Unlike the countryside where they live, they can always open a vegetable field in front of the house. It is much more troublesome to eat vegetables in the town, so they can only buy them by themselves.

Today, a parent of a student came to the door, saw her man, thanked her, dropped a large basket of vegetables, and ran away without catching up.

Principal Li's daughter-in-law sometimes complains in her heart, complaining that her man has to subsidize the school to subsidize the students with such a small salary, but when encountering such a thing, she will be proud of her man.

It’s not about being greedy for these things. How much is a basket of vegetables worth? The parents of the students don’t know how far they have traveled to come here. good thing.

Sister Lu took the cucumber, boasted a few words, and said: "I saw a melon seller today, I bought two melons, and I will pack one for you when I go back."

"Hey, why don't you go around the house recently, I'm bored at home." Principal Li's wife asked.

Sister Lu's expression was awkward. After all, she was a close cousin, unlike Principal Li who was separated by a floor. She honestly talked about her troubles.

Principal Li's daughter-in-law said indifferently: "It's nothing, Lao Li won't say anything, you can rest assured, it's up to you whether people donate or not."

Big Sister Lu sighed unwillingly: "No, I'm at the post office, and I can see that child from the Shen family almost every day, but the moment I see him, I think of this matter."

Principal Li's wife said with relief: "Maybe it's because school didn't start and he couldn't find anyone." Didn't they say they came from the city.

"It's also possible..." Sister Lu nodded and said, she still couldn't let go of it, this person should leave when school starts, how could people from the city stay in the country all the time.

Principal Li's daughter-in-law is more open than her sister. It's not uncommon to meet her in these years. She said she wanted to donate things to the school, donate money, regret it, donate less, and even want to go back after donating.

The more knowledge you have, the more relaxed your mind will be.

Taking the cantaloupe sent by her cousin, Principal Li's wife came home and saw Principal Li repairing chairs in the yard, fetching water to wash the melons, and told him about it.

Sure enough, Principal Li just smiled and didn't pay attention: "Don't mention this matter in the future, it's not good for others to talk about it."

"I know..." the headmaster's wife muttered, and cut open the washed melon. Just as she was about to call him to eat, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door.

"Who is it?" Principal Li got up and went to open the door. The young man standing outside the door was sweating, obviously coming in a hurry.

"Officer Wang, what can I do for you?" Principal Li asked.

This person is the secretary of the County Education Bureau, and he went to ask for chalk, and he had a lot of dealings with him.

"Urgent, good, great! Come on, the leader is looking for you, come with me." Officer Wang said anxiously: "By the way, I have to call Principal Zhang."

The principal of the small town is surnamed Zhang.

Principal Li pushed his bicycle and followed Officer Wang away. The principal's wife was holding a sliced ​​melon with a puzzled look on her face: "Why are you in such a hurry that you don't even take a bite of the melon..."

It took most of the day to go away, and he didn't come back at noon. It was not until evening that Principal Li returned home with the cart.

The headmaster's wife twisted the towel and handed it over: "Wipe your face, you're sweating."

While he was wiping his face, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you in such a hurry, shouldn't the meeting be held at this time?"

According to past experience, meetings are held either when the holidays are about to start or when the school is about to start. Now that the summer vacation has only been over for more than ten days, there is no place to hold meetings.

Principal Li's expression was in a trance, as if he hadn't recovered: "It's not a meeting..."

"What's that for? You look like you've lost your soul."

After a moment of silence, Principal Li suddenly asked: "Your sister said earlier that the one who would donate chalk to us was the one from the Shen family..."

"Shen Mao'er!" Lu Juan had just mentioned this name today, and she remembered it clearly: "It's the most promising child in the Shen family's city."

"It's really promising!" Principal Li sighed, and couldn't help laughing: "Shen Mao'er is a nickname, but his real name is Chen Yu."

"I don't care if he's a cat or a fish, isn't it? Why do you suddenly think of him?" The headmaster's wife had an idea: "He really donated chalk to you?"

Maybe she guessed it right, that Shen Maoer donated the chalk to the Education Bureau because the school was on holiday.

"It's a donation of chalk, but it's not just chalk."

The headmaster's daughter-in-law pushed him angrily: "What's the matter with me, talk about it or not!"

The smile on Principal Li's face could not be suppressed, which made his wife even more curious: "Could it be that you donated a lot of chalk?"

"A lot, a lot." Principal Li's eyes were bright: "Not only donate chalk to us, but also donate new teaching buildings and new dormitories. When it rains, the children no longer have to worry about the roof leaking. "

"..."

"Tell me, isn't this a great thing? That child from the Shen family is really promising!"

"..."

"Why don't you talk? Are you happy and stupid?"

The headmaster's daughter-in-law touched his forehead with her hand: "Old Li, did you suffer from heat stroke and fainted when you went out today?"
