After checking, Xiao Muyou shook his head in disappointment and said to Principal Qi and the teacher who were full of expectations.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid this organ can't be repaired. Several components inside it have been seriously damaged, and they have been soaked in water before, and the joints have been deformed. Unless the parts are replaced, it is better to replace it than to replace it.
tower."
Hearing this, Principal Qi let out a long sigh, and the female teacher beside her looked even more disappointed. It seemed that this teacher should be in charge of the school's music class.
When Xiao Muyou said this, he paused and then spoke again.
"In this case, I wonder if there is a musical instrument store in your county that sells organs. We can fund the purchase."
"No, no, this can't be done. This organ will cost a lot of money. You have already given so many things to the dolls. I can't ask you to pay any more."
When Principal Qi heard that Xiao Muyou and the others wanted to buy an organ for the school, he immediately rejected their offer.
When Xiao Muyou saw Principal Qi's attitude, she suddenly felt sad. She could feel that Principal Qi was really rejecting him instead of being polite.
"Principal Qi, this matter has been settled. Our company has a certain amount of charity funds every year. This time, the company has also allocated a sum of funds to prepare for emergencies. Children's learning is important, but it is also
To cultivate their artistic talents, an organ doesn't cost much, so you don't have to refuse."
"But, this organ is very expensive. I went to the county town to see it before. It costs seven to eight thousand yuan. Miss Mu You, otherwise, our school still has six thousand yuan in its account. You can give it to us again.
Two thousand is enough, okay."
Principal Qi came up with a compromise. Although their school would really have no money on their books, for the sake of the children, it had to be this way.
When Xiao Muyou heard this, he was immediately surprised. How could a school only have such a small amount of money on its books? Didn't the Education Bureau allocate funds?
The guide Xiao Liu on the side seemed to be aware of Xiao Muyou's question and immediately explained.
"Mr. Xiao, there are regular allocations from above. However, we are already financially tight here, so the money allocated to each school is not much. In addition, Washan Primary School is in a special situation, so the money on the books is even less.
Already."
"what happened?"
"These children who live in the school have three meals a day and other daily necessities, which all require money. And there are several extremely poor students in this school. Principal Qi doesn't want these children to drop out of school. Every month
Everyone will use that amount of money to subsidize these children. When all these things are added up, there will be more places to spend the money."
Hearing this, Xiao Muyou could only sigh in her heart. Even though these children who live in school don't eat much three meals a day, they can't stand the crowd. Moreover, Xiao Muyou also saw that in order to keep these children's nutrition balanced, this
Every meal has something fishy to it. No wonder the school is so poor that it can't even afford an organ.
"Principal Qi, the school's money will be kept, and we will buy the organ. In addition, we can sign a targeted funding agreement with Washan Primary School. From now on, Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries will allocate a charity fund to Washan Primary School every year to support them."
A very poor student here.”
"This...how is this so embarrassing?"
"Principal Qi, please don't refuse. Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries has funded dozens of rural primary schools in our Sichuan Province."
Xiao Liu on the side saw that Principal Qi still wanted to refuse, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he opened his mouth to help persuade.
Xiao Muyou also spoke.
"Principal Qi, the charity funds we allocate to the school must be earmarked for special use, and each transaction must be recorded in detail. We will have dedicated personnel come down from time to time to check the accounts, so the money is not given to you to use randomly.
, you don’t have to feel any burden or embarrassment.”
After several attempts at persuasion, Principal Qi finally accepted the kindness of Xiao Muyou and the others. After a while of thanks, he promised again and again.
"Don't worry, although I, Lao Qi, haven't read many books, I remember every account of this school clearly, and I can definitely withstand your inspection."
"With what Principal Qi said, I believe that this money will definitely help more children in the future. As for the organ issue, we will solve it as soon as possible in the next two days. Guide Xiao Liu, we are not familiar with this place and we still need you.
Send someone to bring the organ to the school."
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, I will contact you soon and I will definitely let the baby here get a decent music lesson as soon as possible."
After that, Xiao Liu left here because the signal here was not good and he had to climb to a higher mountain top to get a signal to make a call.
It was another busy day. Because they had been traveling all day, the people in the public welfare team did not do much in the afternoon. They were all resting in the tent. There were also a few young people who temporarily acted as school teachers and gave a few classes.
I also experienced the feeling of being a teacher.
Xiao Muyou couldn't help but teach the children a lesson in the evening, and it was an English class for fifth and sixth grade students.
Because only one of the five teachers here can teach English, the children here only start learning English in the third grade. This start is already two years later than the children in big cities. Therefore, the English of the children in the fifth and sixth grade here
The level is also limited to some daily expressions.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Muyou sighed again.
It is said that children in the mountains have only one way out: studying, but seeing the backward educational resources and scarce teachers here, Xiao Muyou felt that this was not a way out. It was clearly a single-plank bridge.
As for English education, which is two years behind the outside world, even if the government has some preferential policies, these children will have the opportunity to enter high school in the future, but by then they will not be on the same starting line as other children.
Going to college is so difficult.
During dinner in the evening, Xiao Muyou found Xiao Liu and asked about some situations.
"Brother Liu, how many schools like this do you have in Yangshan County?"
"There are many. There are more than a dozen schools with similar conditions to Washan Primary School. There are also some schools whose conditions are only slightly better. But compared with schools in our county, both hardware and software are much worse."
"What about Sanyuan Town? How many schools like this are there?"
"There are three schools in total. In fact, we have been thinking of ways to bring these schools together over the years, but building a school with dormitories requires a lot of money, so we have been putting it off."
After hearing this, Xiao Muyou was thoughtful, and after being silent for a long time, he spoke.
"Brother Liu, if our Yaohua Cultural and Creative Group builds a primary school here, can the local government grant us a piece of land?"
As soon as Xiao Muyou said these words, Guide Xiao Liu was obviously taken aback. He didn't expect such a good thing to happen, and he asked in disbelief.
"You mean, you're going to build a school here?"
"Yes, boarding school."
"Okay, it definitely works. Although our Sanyuan Town is poor, we have a lot of land. As long as we can really help Sanyuan Town solve its financial problems, the rest won't be a problem."
"Brother Liu, you don't have to be so excited, but we have some conditions for funding the school. Brother Liu, please contact your local education bureau and see if they can send someone to meet with us.
Both parties will negotiate some specific details."
"Okay, I'll contact you now."
With that said, guide Xiao Liu was about to walk up the mountain, but Xiao Muyou immediately stopped him.
"Brother Liu, there's no need to be so anxious. It's almost dark now. Let's talk about this matter tomorrow."
"How can we not be anxious? If it is implemented one day earlier, these children can go to the new school one day earlier."
After saying that, guide Xiao Liu walked towards the top of the mountain. Seeing this, Xiao Muyou just shook his head and did not speak to dissuade him.
This night, everyone spent the night in the tent. Maybe it was because they were not used to it, or maybe it was a novelty, so everyone had some insomnia.
In the second half of the night, just as everyone was getting sleepy and ready to fall asleep, a sudden rain woke everyone up again.
"The weather forecast is inaccurate. Doesn't it say there won't be any rain in the next few days?"
Chen Li was lying on the camp bed, listening to the crackling sound of rain on the roof of the tent, feeling completely sleepless.
Xiao Muyou listened to Chen Li's words in a daze, turned over and said.
"Okay, the weather in the mountains is inherently bad. Go to bed quickly. We have to work tomorrow."
After saying that, Xiao Muyou found two earplugs from somewhere, plugged them directly into his ears, and fell asleep in a daze.
It rained all night. When I woke up the next morning, there was still a little rain outside and the ground was muddy.
