Wan Rongming thought that Li Manjun would regret coming back to him soon.
He never expected that when the day lilies were cold, not only did they not come, but they even called him to mock him.
"Lao Wan, we are all old acquaintances and you still want to play tricks on me. Now let me tell you, I will keep this ghost mark at home!" Li Manjun laughed.
The person on the other end of the phone didn't speak, but she could imagine how funny his expression was.
Wan Rongming's wife came over, saw his deflated look, and said funnyly: "Get out of here, Xiao Li doesn't accept your trick at all, and you are still trying to scare people."
Wan Rongming smiled bitterly: "She really doesn't believe in evil!"
Okay, I'll admit defeat this time.
"Manager, you can leave." Wang Dasheng stood outside the office window and shouted to Li Manjun.
They have prepared a truckload of donated materials and will go to the countryside today to distribute learning supplies to students in Hongxing Village and Longkou Village.
Since the Hongxing Village School has not yet been completed, Li Manjun went there specifically to cut the ribbon to start construction today.
It has to be said that the village cadres in Hongxing Village are extremely efficient. From the time she promised to donate the school to the excavation of the foundation, it only took one month.
It may also be that the children's belief in wanting to go to school at home is too strong. Everyone in the village, regardless of gender, old or young, spontaneously took the tools at home and prepared to build the school in high spirits.
When Li Manjun and his party arrived, they received the warmest welcome from the villagers.
Old Man Li and Mrs. Li stood in the middle of the crowd, with proud faces, pointing at Li Manjun who was standing in the middle of the ribbon-cutting procession, and kept telling people around them that that was their granddaughter.
"Manjun is the most promising. Last time I broke my leg and was hospitalized, my Manjun paid for all the surgery. This girl is filial!" Old Man Li looked like he wanted to show off but was deliberately modest at the same time.
Mrs. Li also said with a smile: "There are so many nutritional supplements at home that we can't eat them all, and Manjun brought them all."
Li Manjun's visit has brought a lot of face to the old Li family. In addition, many young and middle-aged people in the village are still working in Junda Freight. When everyone sees Li Manjun, it is like meeting a relative.
Now the status of the Li family in the village is second only to the village chief and village director. Anyone who sees Old Man Li is not allowed to call him Grandpa Li.
Even Li Dalong and Qian Shufen's faces were bright, and they smiled so hard when they saw Li Manjun.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony was completed, many villagers came over to invite Li Manjun to their home for dinner. Qian Shufen directly blocked the people away, took Li Manjun's arm and said:
"My home is right here, so there is no need to go to other people's homes to eat. Let's go to our own home. My aunt made you your favorite duck with blood sauce. You love duck feet, so I'll keep them all for you.
"Read a book
Li Xiaoniu was also smiling nearby, with his chin raised high, accepting the worship of his friends.
Li Manjun was worried that he didn't know how to refuse the warm invitation of the villagers, so he took advantage of the situation and followed his mother-in-law.
After arriving at home and having a sumptuous lunch, Li Manjun continued to rush to the next show.
Old Man Li was not willing to let her go, so he stayed for a while. Seeing that Li Manjun was really busy, he let her go.
Li Manjun didn't know that the old man wanted to keep her here and invite the uncles to have a meal in the evening. She was just a tool, specializing in adding face buffs to them.
After finally leaving Hongxing Village, Mo Yang, who was accompanying him, recalled the deliciousness of country duck and sighed:
"Manager, the folks in your hometown are so welcoming!"
Li Manjun smiled: "As long as you can bring benefits to people, people will like you."
Wang Dasheng nodded in agreement, "If the children go to school, they won't have to get up before dawn and drive the mountain roads to the countryside to study. After school, they won't have to worry about getting home after dark."
Mo Yang grew up in the city and did not experience the life of walking more than ten kilometers to go to school. He could not imagine it for the time being, but he remembered the expectant smiles of the children in the village.
Seeing that smile, he felt that all the busyness during this period was worth it.
At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Manjun and his party arrived at Longkou Village Primary School on time.
From a distance, Li Manjun saw a dark-skinned, short boy standing in the middle of the crowd, looking expectantly at the road at the entrance of the village like other children.
It's Heizi.
Li Manjun deliberately didn't call him after getting off the car, trying to see if the boy still remembered her.
Heizi didn't pay attention at first. When the teachers asked them to line up to receive school supplies, his eyes widened immediately. He stared in disbelief at Li Manjun who handed him the school supplies. He was stunned for a long time.
After reacting, he couldn't help but smile with big white teeth, glanced at Li Manjun shyly, took what she handed over with both hands, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Li Manjun smiled lightly at him.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and were busy on their own.
The school supplies distributed this time include school bags, pencil cases, portable water bottles, ballpoint pens, pencils, watercolor pens, triangle rulers, etc., covering almost all the tools needed for learning.
The principal had received the donation form before and was surprised and happy to see that there was also a portable kettle.
What children in the mountains lack most is a kettle. With this kettle, children can bring clean water to school from home.
Especially in winter, you can still drink hot water, which makes you feel warm just thinking about it.
Heizi and his classmates received the items first and couldn't help but open them in the classroom. Some held watercolor pens and said excitedly: "It's a colored pen!"
Others found a kettle and shouted excitedly: "There is also an insulated kettle. I have always wanted one, but the ones sold in the town are too expensive, so I can only use plastic bottles. Now it's better. I also have a kettle. If my grandma knew
, I must be extremely happy!”
Heizi looked down at the box of ballpoint pens in his schoolbag and laughed. This box of ballpoint pens is more economical and can be used for two semesters. Dad doesn't have to keep complaining that he uses up his ballpoint pens too quickly.
There are not many students in the village primary school. There are a total of 78 students in the upper and lower grades. Li Manjun prepared 78 sets.
All the stationery was bought at Sister-in-law Sun’s stationery store. Knowing that she wanted to donate it to a mountainous primary school, Brother Sun and Sister-in-law Sun directly gave her the wholesale price without making any money from her.
Li Manjun also spent a lot of money on transportation to transport all these things.
After the items were distributed, Li Manjun asked Mo Yang to speak on behalf of the company and said some encouraging words to the students, hoping that they could study hard and go out of the mountains to help more people in the future.
After speaking, the classmates warmly invited them to play games with them. The pure joy was the most infectious. It was rare for Li Manjun to relax and devote herself wholeheartedly to feel this moment of pure joy.
Everyone had so much fun that when it was time to say goodbye, some students couldn't help crying and were reluctant to leave, but they were sensible enough not to hold them back.
Li Manjun called Heizi aside alone, took out a handful of chocolates from his pocket and handed them to him, "This is what my daughter asked me to bring to you."
Heizi looked at the chocolate in his hand in surprise, carefully put it into his pocket, asked Li Manjun to wait for him, and quickly ran back to the classroom.
