Chapter 115: Donations
"Ah, I know, I know."
Wang Ke took over the conversation and said excitedly: "Teacher Wen, you are saying that this bronze bowl was brought by the eminent monk from Tianzhu. After thousands of years, it was finally passed on to Emperor Shunzhi for use." Wang Ke heard what Yan Jiao's grandfather said.
However, the copper bowl was brought from India in the west, so obviously Professor Wen’s story must be related to this.
Although Professor Wen was surprised, he was still very satisfied that Wang Ke understood his story. "Yes, children can be taught. This copper bowl is the Indian model, and the five words 'one bowl for thousands of families' on it are also legendary.
Engraved by Shunzhi. As for why this bronze bowl ended up in the hands of that old beggar, I don’t know, but it is said that it came from Wutai Mountain, and it must be a sacred object, and it must be related to this."
"Ah!" Ye Xianqian screamed and snatched the copper bowl away. "This one belongs to me too for safekeeping."
Professor Wen laughed heartily.
When Wang Ke saw Ye Xianxian snatching away the copper bowl again, he became furious.
Who knew that Professor Wen was not in a hurry and spoke to the side: "Comrade Xiao Wang, I think it is OK, is it left by Emperor Shunzhi? I will help you do some research when I go back, and I will guarantee that you can use these two things."
Leave it to Ye Xianqian for safekeeping for the time being."
Wang Ke really couldn't respond to Professor Wen's words.
When Ye saw Professor Wen's support, he immediately shook the pony tail on the back of his head, pursed his flat lips and made a face at Wang Ke, with an expression that seemed to say, "What are you going to do with me?"
Wang Ke decided to call it a day. Fortunately, the two bundles of canceled treasury bonds were placed in the company's small package warehouse and were not brought with them, otherwise they would have lost everything.
"Is there anything else?" Professor Wen asked.
"No, no." Wang Ke felt a little guilty and said in his heart that the days are long and he will look for Professor Wen again when he has the opportunity, and he must not let Ye stay aside. The saddest thing for a person is to fall into the same river twice.
Drowning. When no one was paying attention, he took out the pendant Ye Xianquan gave him from his pocket and put it into the empty shell box.
In the next two days, the flood receded fifty or sixty centimeters every day, very fast. The villages that had emerged from the water were in a mess, which made people feel sad. However, the vast majority of villagers still did not dare to go into the water, and the village chief also gave a stern warning.
Everyone, we must not act rashly. The only thing now is to wait and wait for the safest time to arrive.
In the meantime, Professor Wen was impatient and ran to the back mountain several times to take a look. The tree had been exposed a lot, at least the trunk could be seen. "Xiao Wang, do you think we can build a raft and go there to have a look?
?”
"Teacher Wen, I think you don't have to worry. We'll wait until the water recedes. The danger is still very high now. Besides, you can't see anything when you get there on a raft." Wang Ke thought to himself, it's better to wait until he has time to himself.
Went there together with Gu Maolin. It’s a cold winter, a warm equinox, and there’s no cold weather after the equinox. It’s okay to wait until noon to swim over.
What were we going to do in the past? Let Gu Maolin draw a circle and not do any useless work. Find out where the sunken ship is, even just start it, so that we can continue to dig forward along the ancient river channel.
When Professor Wen heard what Wang Ke said, he thought it made sense. He was too anxious to eat hot tofu, so he had no choice but to go back to primary school.
At this time, Section Chief Chang Gaofeng and the village chief were leading the young adults to sprinkle quicklime inside and outside the primary school. They also sprayed disinfectant on the toilets and large livestock sheds. All drinking water was clarified with alum before boiling.
Open for drinking. Due to effective measures, more than 1,000 people in the village, plus dozens of livestock, live together in the primary school, and there are no cases of illness.
Wang Ke followed Professor Wen to the elementary school, but the village chief found him there.
"Monitor Wang, I'm looking for you."
"Village chief, what's going on?"
"I want to discuss this with you. Once the water recedes, you can see that even the assault boat can't get in, and we can't get out. Should we send someone out next?"
"Is there something urgent?"
The village chief said: "I am definitely anxious. After the water recedes, we will need cement and bricks to rebuild our homes, and we will need seeds and fertilizers for self-production. If we don't go out now, we will continue to wait when the water recedes. Should we go out first?"
?”
After listening to the village chief's words, Wang Ke also felt that there was some truth in it. It was also feasible to manage the advance amount appropriately. This flood affected more villages, but the ones that were less affected may have already started moving. And Nanshao Village is at the innermost place.
It must be a little late for Nanshao Village to think of this. "Village Chief, what do you think?"
"I think I will take a few young people to wade out first, and then go to Baocheng City and Jinmen City separately to buy some things. I will entrust the village to you, and you will act as the temporary village chief. Once the water recedes, let everyone go
Clean up your own home, and then cooperate with you to plan the roads and canals, and organize the roads and crop fields in the village. This will not waste time on work."
"Village Chief, let Chief Chang take the lead in this matter. Can I take the initiative?" Wang Ke felt great trust after listening to the village chief's words, but he still lacked experience. Chief Chang and Professor Wen were both here.
The youngest.
"No, no, no, all the young and old men in the village still listen to you. Besides, the village still relies on Section Chief Chang for planning matters, so we can't drag him into this trivial matter. Professor Wen doesn't want to inspect it? If we need manpower, Monitor Wang, you
Arrange directly."
"Okay, village chief, when do you plan to leave?"
"I think it won't be too late. Let's leave at noon. I'll leave the security director and the women's director behind to help you. Our village cadres will have a meeting later and we'll leave immediately. So I came to see you and want to invite you.
Also attend our cadre meeting.”
"Okay." Wang Ke turned around and said to Professor Wen: "Teacher Wen, you go back first. I will keep your matter in mind, and I will give you an accurate letter this afternoon."
Professor Wen saw the village chief's affection and trust in Wang Ke from the side, and also heard the village chief's words. He couldn't help but admire Wang Ke again, "Okay, you can go and do your work. But the village chief is out.
, can you please let us follow you back to Jinmen? Maybe she can help Nanshao Village and lead the way."
"That's great! That teacher Ye, right? She also donated 200 yuan to our village." The village chief is no stranger to Ye. On the day he arrived, Wang Ke took the clothes and money donated by his class, along with Chang Ke
The chief and Ye Xianxian handed it over to the village chief together. The village chief asked the accountant to make the accounts and issue receipts. In the future, these will be announced to all the young and old men in the village.
"Donate money, why didn't I know you were donating money?" Professor Wen asked quickly.
The village chief suddenly realized his gaffe. Professor Wen was just a passerby and he talked too much. "Professor Wen, this is none of your business. They also care about Nanshao Village. This heart..."
Professor Wen waved his hand and immediately interrupted the village chief. "Don't say that, we are not guests, let alone passers-by. When we came to Nanshao Village, we saw monitor Xiao Wang and many people sleeping in the open air and sitting crowded together.
He gave us the best room in the tent. How could I stand by and watch when Nanshao Village suffered such a huge flood? I donated five hundred, and I immediately asked my comrades who were traveling with me to donate as well."
"No, no, no, Professor Wen, we can't accept this money." The village chief expressed his position hurriedly. He also regretted what he said carelessly just now.
"Xiao Wang, come with me first." Professor Wen left without looking back. This is the temper of intellectuals.
Wang Ke looked at the village chief and followed Professor Wen to withdraw the money. Then he went to the headquarters next door. By this time, the cadres from Nanshao Village had almost arrived. Wang Ke handed the money to the village chief. "Village Chief, Wen
The three of them, the teacher, donated 700 yuan."
"Tsk tsk tsk", the village chief shook his head and handed the money to the accountant, "Register it. We will build a monument at the head of the village in the future, so we can't forget this person."
After that, several cadres in the village discussed it, and everyone talked about it. The division of labor was easy to handle, and the village affairs were easy to handle. But the biggest problem came, insufficient funds. Whether it was purchasing bricks, cement, lime, or seeds.
Fertilizer and agricultural tools are a lot of money. Where does the money come from?
While they were discussing, a "Report!" sounded outside the door.
When Wang Ke heard it, it was Gu Maolin's voice. "Come in."
Gu Maolin opened the door and was followed by Staff Officer Sun from the army and Director Cui from the county. This was their fourth time coming to Nanshao Village. "Oh, we almost couldn't even get in with the assault boat. The floods receded too much."
Soon." Staff Officer Sun was saying.
When Wang Ke saw it, he immediately stood up and raised his hand to salute Staff Sun. "Chief, the cadres of Nanshao Village are discussing the matter of going out to purchase things to rebuild their homes and produce things for self-rescue."
"Haha, we are just in time." Staff Officer Sun stepped forward, held the village chief's hand, and said to the cadres in the room: "Dear village cadres, we have come to donate to Nanshao Village today under the instructions of the chief. We all
The regiment cadres and soldiers donated a total of 73,121 yuan to Nanshao Village, as well as 381 cotton coats, 381 quilts, 5,000 kilograms of white flour and 5 tons of diesel. I have already brought the quilts and coats." Obviously the regiment."
Each household was guaranteed a coat and a quilt. After speaking, Staff Officer Sun took out a check from his pocket and handed it to the village chief.
"Long live the People's Liberation Army!" Someone in the room shouted, which was really a timely help.
"Comrades, don't worry. On behalf of the county party committee and the county government, I have sent 100,000 yuan in relief funds to Nanshao Village to help you rebuild your homes and organize production and self-rescue!" Director Cui of the county also took out a card from his pocket.
Cheque.
The village cadres in the room immediately applauded, and the village chief opened the door and rushed into the courtyard of the primary school, shouting: "The old and young men in the village, the old and young men in the village, the cadres of the People's Liberation Army and the county, have brought us
Donations and relief funds help us rebuild our homes and organize production to help ourselves! Thank you to the party, the government, and the People's Liberation Army!"
The primary school was in an uproar, and everyone rushed outside the headquarters.
Wang Ke moved a desk, and Staff Officer Sun climbed up and stood on the pickup truck. "Fellows, Director Cui from the county has sent a relief fund of 100,000 yuan. All the cadres and soldiers of our regiment have also given to Nanshao."
The village donated more than 70,000 yuan, and each household donated a cotton coat and quilt, as well as 5,000 kilograms of white flour and 5 tons of diesel. We, the People's Liberation Army, and the people of Nanshao Village have a deep friendship and will always be connected.
If the sky falls, we will carry it together, and we will fight the floods and rescue them together. Our chief will ask our superiors for approval, and once the floods recede, we will send a company to help Nanshao Village rebuild its homes and organize production for self-rescue."
There was another round of applause and cheers from below.
"Folks, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support of the troops and for your care for the soldiers of our reconnaissance squad."
At this time, a fellow below suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "All the soldiers in the reconnaissance squad also donated money and clothes to us. Squad leader Wang Ke donated 1,000 yuan." This matter was still not hidden, and Staff Sun was dumbfounded when he heard it.
This little soldier donated 1,000 yuan?
"Squad leader Wang Ke spent several days and nights without sleep or food while fighting the flood. He was so tired that he vomited blood for our village. If it hadn't been for him, how many people in our village would have died?"
What's going on? Officer Sun knew that Wang Ke took the risk and sent someone to report to the army immediately, but he didn't know that he saved the whole village, including finding food, medicine and organizing self-rescue. He looked at the village chief on the side.
Chang nodded vigorously.
Uncle Dong Pianfang shouted from below: "I also recognized him as my godson, and he also recognized me as his godfather!"
