Chapter 931 "Source a grain of millet in spring" (II)
The first item of the memorial service was to invite Lin Yanghou to speak. Chu Qing strongly praised the heroes who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood for fearlessness.
During Chu Qing's speech, he saw many people coming with their children. They listened quietly to Chu Qing's speech, looking at the names on the tombstone and wet their eyes.
Some children who cried were stopped by their parents and pointed to the tombstone and said something to the children.
When Chu Qing heard that many of the young people who dedicated their lives to Linyang County at such a young age were orphans, and no family claimed their bodies, the people who watched the ceremony were even more moved.
Some of them placed the flowers picked on the road next to the tombstone, some put some food on them, and some left the wild vegetables picked along the way.
There was even a doll who had just learned to walk, staggeringly walked over, putting the egg that had been in his hand in front of the tombstone, and his little mouth with saliva kept saying to the tombstone: "Eat, eat."
After Chu Qing spoke, Xu Guangze also spoke, saying: "...These heroes come from the families of every ordinary people and are the good younger generations of all of us;
We will come to pay homage to them every year today and will visit them often on weekdays. They are our relatives;
They protect our peace when they are alive, and they will bless us with joy when they die, so we don’t need to be sad. They hope to see us live in a harmonious and healthy life...
My fellow villagers, I know that you have seen many stalls selling incense, candles or other goods along the way. These stalls are currently temporarily used by the county government, but there are more spare places;
Everyone can apply for these spare stalls, just register and rent them from the county government and pay a symbolic deposit;
However, this official declares that the taxes paid by all stalls on Xuanhua Road will be used to maintain the operation of the county government orphanage, so this official does not allow anyone to seek benefits under the name of the orphanage;
It cannot be said that the price of goods is deliberately raised for the sake of the children;
The price of items sold at the stall must be comparable to that in the market;
Therefore, please ask the villagers to supervise these stalls. Any phenomenon of forced buying and selling, random asking prices, robbing stalls, etc., must be reported to the county government. Once verified, it will be severely punished!"
Chu Qing was shocked in his heart.
He is worthy of being an economic veteran.
In the name of sojourning, a path to maintain the financial operation of orphanages was opened up, and the people also felt that what they consumed here was love and willing to spend money.
The county government not only saved money, but also improved Xu Guangze's own official reputation a lot.
This is not the end. When Xu Guangze saw the people offering food or flowers as "offer" one after another, he immediately said:
After offering these foods, they will be brought back to the orphanage without wasting any waste. The love of the people and the blessings of the heroes will be helped to those orphans without fathers and mothers.
According to the method Xu Guangze said, this place will be like those Taoist temples and temples, not only for worship, but also for making wishes, places for viewing, and places for strolling.
Because this place is not like those Taoist temples and temples, you have to pay "incense money". It is free to enter the place and free to spend.
In this way, this place will be more people-friendly.
"Oh, isn't this robbing other people's Taoist and Buddhist business? Hahaha..." Chu Qing quietly muttered to Xiaobao.
This is all knowledge, and Chu Qing admired him so much that he was overwhelmed.
But no matter what, the people all understood the spirit that the magistrate needed them to understand, and this also inspired Chu Qing.
In her world, the school leads students to visit graves, helps students understand history and culture, understand the meaning of life, and further enhances their sense of historical responsibility and national mission.
Moreover, this way of commemorating ancestors can allow students to feel the warmth and affection of their family and society, and cultivate the quality of filial piety and love for their family.
Thinking of the orphanage, Chu Qing did not want to cultivate a group of ungrateful wolves, just like the Dafeng and the others, who lost their nature in the rescue of people.
Therefore, after the Qingming Festival, Chu Qing immediately rectified the orphanage, which not only changed its name to "Hope Primary School", but also added a moral education teaching.
Other teachings are only to teach basic life skills and common words in life, and "ideology and morality courses" are the main subjects.
The girls like Dafeng and the others were willing to stay in Hope Primary School as teachers, so Chu Qing stayed with Baijiaxing, and Baijiaxing served as the "dean of moral education" and taught from time to time.
At the same time, Chu Qing took out his own land near Xuanhua Road as "school field" and his income was used as funding for "Hope Primary School".
The teachers and students of the school need to farm on this land like farmers, so that the children can understand the principle of not getting nothing and cultivate self-improvement.
The first day of May every year is designated as the "Labor Children's Day" in Linyang County - a festival for children from working people's families.
As for how to celebrate this festival, it depends entirely on their own will.
But "Hope Primary School" will organize children to plant a jujube tree on this day of the year, which is also their hope.
"Sow a grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn." In the future, every crisp and tender sand date will sweeten their hearts.
Today is the first Children's Day. On this festival that combines Arbor Day, Labor Day and Children's Day, Chu Qing personally brought teachers and students from "Hope Primary School" to plant trees together.
As an ordinary parent, all operations of "Zheng Jinger" are necessary in the eyes of Linyang Hou, who now manages the fiefdom of a county.
Different status and different responsibilities.
After the tree planting activity, the children were free to move, and Chu Qing took his family to go shopping on Xuanhua Road.
Xu Guangze's speech on Qingming Festival seemed to be very popular. Chu Qing saw this once deserted and uninhabited road leading to the border, now it is lively and lively.
In the past, poor people worshiped the Locust Temple or invited "Baojia Immortals". Those who had a little extra money would go to Taoist temples and temples to pray for blessings. Now they are coming to Xuanhua Road and stroll around.
Or go up the mountain and visit the martyrs' monument.
Find some free time, find some time, pick wild flowers, and go to the monument to see.
Bring a smile, bring wishes, bring relatives and friends to the monument.
Tell the troubles of life to the heroes and talk to the martyrs about farming.
Under the monument, all the relatives in the hearts of the people.
In less than a month, the stalls on both sides of Xuanhua Road have been rented out 80% of them, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything, and they are not expensive.
There is even a special stall, where an old man with gray hair and beard guards the stall alone. This location is free of rent, and the sign says: "Some letters, ten words."
Whether you write letters to your relatives or tomb-sweeping tributes, you can do it, and you can also read free letters.
If an illiterate person receives a letter, he can ask the elderly to help him read it.
The older children of "Hope Primary School" will come here to help after finishing their school work.
