As soon as the students were on vacation, Principal Xin had the dilapidated old house demolished. Before, whether they ordered lumber or hired craftsmen, Principal Xin told them not to tell anyone. But now that the old house has been demolished, they can no longer hide it.
.
Two days later, the second uncle came to Tian Dalin: "Our primary school here has been demolished and rebuilt. You should know about this, right?"
Tian Dalin nodded and said, "I heard someone mention it yesterday. Uncle, that elementary school is too dilapidated. It would be a good thing to tear it down and rebuild it. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about my children attending classes there."
Although the three younger children in his family are going to study in the city in the second half of the year, if something happens to so many children, it will be in danger. Now that they can tear down and rebuild, they no longer have to worry about it.
The second uncle saw that he didn't look strange at all, and said: "Da Lin, as far as I know, the commune only allocated 160 yuan. But even if it is to build a mud house, this amount of money is not enough to build five or six houses. Let alone
, this time we are going to build a brick house.”
Tian Dalin was startled and asked: "If the commune does not allocate money, then where does this money come from?"
The life of Principal Xin's family is slightly better than that of ordinary villagers, so it is impossible for him to afford so much money.
The second uncle said pointedly: "Yes, where did this money come from? Someone asked Principal Xin, and he said it was donated by a kind person without naming him. Dalin, who do you think this kind person could be?"
Tian Dalin was not stupid, and he understood the meaning of his words as soon as he heard it: "Uncle, do you mean to donate money?"
Apart from Tian Shao, my second uncle could not think of anyone else.
Tian Dalin thought for a moment and said: "Uncle, even if the money is really donated by Da Ya, she earned it. How she uses it, Guihua and I will not interfere."
Anyway, my daughter has promised to build them a house with blue bricks and large tiles next year, and there will be nothing else to ask for after the house is completed.
The second uncle stared and said, "Who asked you to stop me? If Da Ya really did it, he was doing good deeds. Not only can we not stop him, but we must also support and encourage him."
Tian Dalin didn't understand and asked: "Second uncle, what do you mean?"
Donating money to build a school would benefit the people around him. My second uncle felt that this matter should be publicized to let everyone know that their Tian family also produced talented people.
Tian Dalin didn't refuse. If Tian Shao really donated, spending such a large amount of money would be a waste. So early the next morning, he borrowed a bicycle and went to the county seat.
Tian Shao was doing morning exercises, and was a little surprised to see Tian Dalin. It was the busy farming season, so Tian Dalin must have something to do when he came to the county town, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed here so early in the morning.
Tian Dalin closed the door and asked: "Daya, our primary school is being rebuilt. Principal Xin said that the money for building the house was donated by kind people. Daya, is it your donation?"
Tian Shao knew that he couldn't hide this matter, so he nodded and said, "It's me."
"How much did you donate?"
Tian Shao said: "I gave one hundred yuan at the beginning of the year, and another seven hundred yuan a few days ago. Principal Xin said that he would go to the commune and ask for a sum of money. The money I gave is enough, and I don't need to worry about it in the future."
Although she was not short of the few hundred yuan, she was still very happy to hear Principal Xin's arrangement.
Tian Dalin hesitated for a while and then asked: "Da Ya, will our family still have money to build a house in the future?"
"I have no money now, but there is still more than half a year until the spring of next year, so I can save enough from the royalties."
Seeing that she had made a plan, Tian Dalin stopped worrying about the matter: "Second uncle said that you are doing good deeds, and he wants to help you publicize it. Da Ya, also let people from all over the country know that our Tian family has a capable person.
"
Tian Shao did not agree and said: "Dad, this is not possible. If I publicize it widely, then everyone will think that I am a good person, and people who are in trouble at home or are seriously ill will come to ask for help. What will I do then? Help, I am not that good.
I'm very capable; if I don't help, they will say I'm a hypocrite just for the sake of reputation."
Last time she donated money to the disaster area, many people in the village came to her home to borrow money. Now if this matter is publicized, she doesn't know who will be provoked. She will do charity and help those in need, but
Not now and not this way.
Tian Dalin said: "Even if we don't say anything, everyone will think it's you."
What Tian Shao meant, no matter what he decided, he refused to admit it anyway: "Dad, you go tell your second uncle that this matter should not be publicized otherwise it will be harmful to me. Last time it was just a thief who came in to steal things, next time it may be kidnapping and extortion."
.”
Tian Dalin immediately became nervous and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely convince my second uncle not to publicize this matter. But Da Ya, please don't donate money again in the future. It's too dangerous."
Tian Shao nodded and said: "I will not donate money directly in the future."
Wuya had also told her before that the house was crumbling and looked scary, otherwise she would have planned to donate money to build the house two years later. Although there is trouble now, she has ensured the safety of those children.
Because Tian Dalin and Tian Shao both said they did not donate money, and Principal Xin also denied this statement, the matter passed quickly.
Li Guihua felt very uncomfortable knowing this and said, "Do you think our eldest daughter is stupid? Now everyone is praising Principal Xin. Our family has spent so much money and we haven't even gained a good reputation."
Tian Dalin feels that it doesn't matter whether he has a good reputation or not. The most important thing is his daughter's safety. If the money is gone, his daughter can make money slowly, but if something happens to her daughter, the family will collapse.
After being explained by her, Li Guihua quickly let go of the matter.
A week later, Erya changed her mind.
After receiving the exact news, Erya excitedly went to the Finance Department to find Tian Shao: "Sister, eldest sister, I have become a full-time employee."
After being transferred to a regular job, not only did her salary change from 18 yuan to 24 yuan, but her household registration could also be moved to the county seat. From then on, like Tian Shao, she ate commercial grains and truly broke away from the farming community.
Tian Shao hummed and said, "You have to work hard after you become a full-time employee. Don't imitate those people who cheat and cheat. And don't fall behind in your studies. When you get your primary school diploma, you will be transferred out of the cafeteria."
Erya knew that she could turn around and it was Tian Shao who helped to smoothen the relationship. But after hearing this, she immediately refused and said, "Sister, I think it's good to stay in the cafeteria."
Tian Shao didn't say that she must be transferred from the canteen. He just said that he didn't want her to wash and cut vegetables all day long. She had no technical skills at all: "If you want to stay in the canteen, learn how to cook from the master chef."
After working in the cafeteria for a year, the food she cooked was not as delicious as Sanya's, she said.
Erya whispered: "Sister, it's not that I don't want to learn, it's that the master doesn't want to teach me."
Tian Shao knew that people with skills nowadays were afraid of teaching their apprentices to starve to death, so she said: "Prepare a generous gift and send it to the master, saying that you just want to learn how to make some home-cooked dishes. The master will definitely teach you."
Although craftsmen are worried that teaching apprentices will starve the master to death, Erya does not want to become a master. He only wants to learn some home-cooked dishes. The other party will definitely teach him after receiving generous gifts. Of course, even if Erya wants to become a chef, he does not have the talent and perseverance.
Erya also knew that Tian Shao was doing it for her own good, so she nodded in agreement.
Sorry, I haven't slept well in the past two days and my brain is not full. The explosion occurred in the early morning of the 19th.
