Chapter Fourteen The Black-bellied Village Chief

Yu Zehai couldn't think of any good way to deal with the shortage of teachers for a while. He wouldn't have to let him go into battle in person, right? What's more, as a top university student, teaching the little kids in the village, it was simply anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes - a waste of talent.

only.

Yu Zehai returned home this time, but he was responsible for developing a characteristic economy in the village and leading everyone to become rich together! Although the education issue of cultivating children in the village is also the unshirkable responsibility and obligation of every villager, at this critical moment, he is really unable to do anything!

"Oh... this matter can only be included in the planning first. My plan can only be taken step by step. It will easily cause the egg to be pulled too quickly." Yu Zehai murmured in his heart.

The school is at the easternmost end of the village, and Yu Zehai spent most of his childhood life there. Rural primary schools have not yet popularized preschool children's education, that is, kindergartens. Therefore, parents usually take the initiative to send school-age children to school. After the end of a school year, if the child's academic performance can keep up with the teaching rhythm, he will be promoted to the second grade next year; if he can't keep up, he will continue to repeat the first grade.

Through those children, among the three old teachers in the school, Mr. Shiqi and Mr. Li have retired gloriously because they are too old. Only Uncle Genzi continues to stay and serve as the principal. There are also two girls who came to teach at the Normal College. The teaching conditions in the village are indeed a bit difficult, and the monthly salary is also very low, but the village treats these two female teachers very well, especially the grain, oil, vegetables and other foods that are harvested at home are even more open.

Yu Zehai rarely comes back over the years, and it is always holidays, so he doesn't have the chance to meet the two girls, but he is very grateful in his heart.

There have been precedents in the past, and the village has always been cautious about the teaching teachers who have been "exiled". However, the two girls were able to persist in teaching in the village for nearly two years, which has fully proved themselves and has gained the friendship of Yujiaao Village.

You should know that not everyone is willing to go to those poor mountainous areas with difficult conditions to teach. Every year, countless college students go to all parts of the motherland with passion, but among these people, there are many people who are gilded and are curious. But they can truly settle down and are determined to contribute their own light and heat to the education of children in poor mountainous areas, but in order to support the development of the country, very few are.

Looking at the rows of mud walls and black tiles in front of you, and the small playground made of loess, Yu Zehai couldn't help but outline the pictures inside the school in his mind.

There was no entertainment equipment on the simple playground. When he was studying, the children had nothing to play with except playing local chickens, catching chickens, kicking sandbags, kicking shuttlecocks, tug-of-war, jumping rope and other activities during class breaks.

There is no air conditioning in the classroom, no heating equipment such as fireplaces, but fortunately, the earth walls built with loess are the warmest in the cold winter in the north. The blackboards, podiums, teaching equipment such as desks and small stools in the classroom are handmade by carpenters in the village. The window edges are not transparent glass or sticky paper, but a thin piece of plastic paper is pasted. This thing can be taken down in summer to keep it ventilated, and then pasted it in winter. It is transparent and bright and warm!

It is summer vacation now, so there is no one in the school. Yu Zehai stood at the school gate and stopped for a long time before he turned around and walked towards the village with a group of children.

The village chief’s family lives in the center of the village. The houses in Yujiaao Village are all built according to the terrain, and the overall look is a big circle. However, the families opposite Qingshui River do not count.

"Grandpa San, I'm here to see you!"

Before he saw the person, he heard the sound first. This was Yu Zehai’s usual trick when he was a child, so he shouted at the top of his throat while still far away.

"It's Yaowa, come in!"

Soon, a slightly majestic voice came out of the yard. Hearing this voice, the kids instantly became quiet.

This was also an old yard. At this time, an old man was sweeping the floor with a long thin bamboo broom in his hand.

The old man was tall and rosy, but there were not many wrinkles on his face. His silver hair was combed back into a big back, and he had a "chubby face" posture. The old man was wearing a navy blue robe and black cloth shoes, which had a scent of dust, but he could not tell his real age.

Seeing the old man in front of him, Yu Zehai ran to the other party and bowed respectfully, and took the broom from the other party's hand. Then he said with a smile: "Grandpa Third, I'm back!"

The old man looked at Yu Zehai in front of him with a smile, his eyes full of kindness and care. This old man is the old village chief of Yujiaao Village, the third grandfather Yu Lianghou, an old man who has worked hard for the village all his life. Therefore, everyone in the village respects him extremely.

"Okay, okay, just come back, just come back!"

With Yu Zehai's arrival, Mr. Yu Lianghou seemed very excited and relieved. He looked at Yu Zehai in front of him and said happily.

After cleaning, the two washed their hands in the wooden basin next to the water pressing well on the edge of the yard, and then walked into the house one by one.

"Little grandson, what are you planning to whisper this time?" Grandpa San waved to Yu Zehai, signaling him to sit down on the wooden stool beside him, and then asked.

Yu Zehai smiled shyly, reached out and scratched the back of his head, and said, "Grandpa Third, I have a plan, but the time is not yet ripe." After a slight pause, Yu Zehai continued, "I don't plan to go out when I come back this time. I want to farm in the village, do breeding, and then take everyone to get rich and prosperous!"

"Smack it..."

At this time, a burly middle-aged man walked out of the left ventricular side. He reached out and patted Yu Zehai on the shoulder, grinned, revealing a few white front teeth and laughed loudly: "Hehe, youngest, I am 100% supportive of your plan! Not bad, I am worthy of being the 'Wenquxing' of our Yujiaao Village. I have a sense of enlightenment! Work hard, and I will take off the burden on my shoulders from now on and hand it over to you!"

The visitor was Yu Zeming, the grandson of the third grandfather, and the current village chief and branch secretary of Yujiaao Village. He has dark skin, strong figure, kneaded muscles, and is about 1.8 meters tall. He used to be a soldier in the army when he was young. Although he looked rough, he had a very good personality and thoughtful mind, and took good care of the villagers.

Logically speaking, Grandpa San was too old to be unable to travel around for the affairs of the village. At this time, he needed a person with both moral integrity and ability to take over. There were more than 300 households in Yujiaao Village, and only a thousand people came. Everyone lived together for so long, and they looked up every day but didn’t see each other. They knew each other well.

Recruiting virtuous people is not for relatives!

Yu Zeming served in the army in his early years and received the most serious training and education in the country. He is upright, loyal and kind, and has a strong and upright person. In addition, he is young, strong and motivated, so he was naturally elected by the villagers and took over the baton of his own old man.

"Brother Ming, don't bury me!"

Yu Zehai waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile: "My plan is only the planning stage, and I haven't solved my parents yet. What's more, you know my personality, Brother Ming. If you ask me to tinker with something, it would be a good idea, but if you want to take care of the trivial matters in your hands, it would be strange if you don't make it messy. So, you should just die of your heart as soon as possible!"

Grandpa San took a long pot with his old cigarette puddle and sucked a few big mouthfuls, then said slowly: "If you want me, Mingwa, you are lazy! You just want to give up the prostitute all day long. You have to run more when you are fine. Think more about how to seek welfare and development for the villagers. Can't you still see that? The youngest grandson's ambition is not here, and he is really not the one who does your job. But, your youngest grandson had a good idea before, and you went back to the village to develop, and the next two brothers joined forces to help each other, and there is still a lot of hope."

"But, there are also great constraints on returning to the village to develop, that is, the road that has blocked our village for thousands of years..." Speaking of this, the old man sucked a few breaths of smoke again, his voice was obviously a little bleak, and he said with some expectation: "In my hands, your third grandfather had no ability and no ability to open up this road, but I hope that in you two can help me realize this dream!"

"Grandpa, your task now is to live your life. Don't worry about it anymore. Look, I'm not in a hurry at all." Yu Zeming spread his hands and said with a smile: "No, everything is Haiwa. This kid is recognized by our entire village as the "Wenquxing". So, I believe Haiwa, he will definitely find a way out for our village."

I've tied up a straw!

Yu Zehai thrust hard, what about the temper that he had promised was straightforward? What about the loyalty and kindness that he promised? I really didn't expect that this village elder was not only unhonest, but also a black-hearted person. Now, he is digging a hole for himself in front of the person involved!

have to!

I really can't continue talking this day.

Anyone with discerning eyes knows that the main reason why Yujiaao Village is in such a dilemma is the problem of the road at the door. Due to inconvenient transportation, the village’s agricultural and sideline products and mountain goods cannot be transported out at all, let alone breeding, planting and other things.

To get rich, build roads first!

Otherwise, even if you have planted and breeded in the village, and the results are good, but if the goods cannot be transported out, everything will be useless!

It is precisely because of this that if you want to change the dilemma in the village, the first step you need to do is to consider how to change the traffic conditions in the village. If this problem is solved, everything will be easy. However, it is not that easy to improve the traffic conditions. Yujiaao Village is located deep in the mountains and is surrounded by steep peaks. To open up these more than 30 kilometers of rural roads, it will cost unimaginable manpower, material resources and financial resources.

Otherwise, this road would not have been blocked by everyone for so many years and was helpless.

However, in Yu Zehai's plan, this road must be opened, even if it costs a lot of money! Just as Grandpa San said, if this traffic situation is not changed, it will directly restrict whether his next plan is feasible.

Finally, Yu Zehai patiently asked Yu Zeming about some trivialities in the village, such as the output of labor, the resettlement of five-guarantee households, the sowing of paddy fields, the breeding of villagers, and the proportion and age of left-behind people in the village...
