Chapter 758 Solving Traffic Problems

Sun Yiyi saw the old man and introduced to Shi Lei: "That is the village chief. He is over sixty years old. All the young people have run away. He can't retire even if he wants to."

Shi Leixin said that the village chief is at the level of a clerk. In a village like this, the superiors probably don't bother to send village officials down. Even if they do, it may not be easy to speak. It would be better to let the villagers here manage themselves. .

Just by seeing this, Shi Lei had a very deep understanding of the difficult situation in the village.

After the car stopped, the village chief and the villagers rushed up. When he saw several people getting out of the car, the village chief stretched out his calloused hand with excitement. He looked at the five people and stretched his hand to Shi Lei, who looked the most mature.

"Thank you. The children in our village have been waiting for you. Is this the leader of your school? I don't know what to call him?"

He has a local accent, but his Mandarin is pretty good.

Shi Lei shook hands with the old village chief and said, "I'm not a leader, I just graduated earlier than them. The school is still on vacation, and it's not easy to get support and help from the school. I don't dare to let them send teachers." Come and see them off. Are you the village chief? Hello, my name is Shi Lei. You must have met all of these people?"

"I've seen them before. They're all good people. They gave books and stationery to the children in our village, and I don't dare to forget them. Don't just stand here. Let's go in first. I'll take a few teachers to see them. We have arranged a place to live. We are poor here and the conditions are a bit worse, so don’t be surprised."

Although other villagers came up, they were obviously a little timid. After all, they were all very old people and had not been out of the village very much. They were a little timid when they saw college students from the city.

Shi Lei said hello to the villagers, looked back at Sun Yiyi and the other four, and then the five of them followed the village chief and the villagers into the village.

The house had obviously been tidied up on purpose. It was still an old-fashioned adobe house. The floor inside the house was also made of rammed earth. Only the sleeping room in the back room had a few wooden boards randomly laid on the floor.

It was quite clean, and the house was not too small. There was a main room in the front, and in the middle was an Eight Immortals table with some crumpled oranges as offerings. There was a small portrait of the deceased placed on the table against the wall.

Everyone followed the village chief into the house, and all the other villagers squatted down in the yard. The old village chief pulled up two long benches, wiped them with his sleeves, and said with a slight shock: "Our conditions here are not good. , teachers, please be more considerate."

Shi Lei smiled, sat down first, and then said, "Don't let the ladies and gentlemen squat outside. Let's go inside. The sun is still shining brightly outside."

The village chief waved his hand and said, "It's okay. We people are used to it. This room was specially set up for a few teachers. The room on the left is bigger, so the two teachers can squeeze in. The room on the right is small. There is another room at the back, which is just big enough to live in. But the one at the back is next to the kitchen, so there may be some smell..."

Shi Lei pulled the village chief and stopped him from pouring water for him. After letting him sit down, Shi Lei said: "Although the conditions are simple, it can be seen that the village chief also arranged for people to take care of them carefully. I I think they won’t have any problems.”

Sun Yiyi and Wu Rourou hurriedly said together: "It's okay, this is already very good."

Suddenly an old lady outside said: "It must be better. This house is the village chief's home. His daughter is a technical secondary school student and is much more sophisticated than us. Although she may not be able to come back this year. Once, but the money he sent to his father was the most in our village."

Only then did the five people know that in order to arrange the lives of the four college students, the village chief had tidied up his own house.

"Village Chief, where do you live?" Shi Lei and Sun Yiyi asked almost simultaneously.

The village chief smiled honestly and said: "All the young people in the village are out of town. Whose family can't I live with for a while? The main reason is that the village is poor and the houses are relatively small. I paid for it a few years ago when my daughter came back. Two rooms were added at the back. To be honest, we used to sleep in the big room on the left. My daughter, my wife, and I all slept in that room. The room on the right is for cooking. But you don’t have to worry. , I haven’t cooked in that house for many years, and my daughter has filled in the stove. It’s no different from an ordinary house. Why don’t you guys take a look, and if there’s anything that needs to be cleaned up, I’ll ask them to clean it up..."

Shi Lei winked, and Sun Yiyi and the four of them walked around from room to room. After they came out, Sun Yiyi said: "Village Chief, I think we should live in the school, and you don't have to live in another house. Just stay with us." Just live in your own home.”

"Are you dissatisfied with anything? Just say it and I'll ask them to clean it up quickly."

"I'm not dissatisfied. I just don't want to cause you any trouble."

"Then what's the trouble? It's our village that's causing trouble for you guys. There's nothing over there at the school. There's something going on. You can't even shout to anyone nearby. It's only ten miles away."

Sun Yiyi still wanted to insist, but Shi Lei said: "Yiyi, don't argue. Since the old village chief has arranged it, you can live here. It's just that the distance from here to the school is a bit far, and it's not convenient for class and get out of class. Old Village Chief, is there no other place in the village where students can attend classes? I heard that there are only about twenty children..."

"Teacher Shi, you don't understand the situation. These more than 20 children are not all from our village, but also from several nearby villages. That school used to be a supply and marketing cooperative here, but it was useless later. Well, it happened to be about the same distance from several nearby villages, so it was converted into a primary school. There were exactly seven houses, an office for the teacher, and the other six were children's classrooms, one for each grade. The village also It’s not that it’s impossible to find a place to attend classes. The ancestral hall is relatively spacious, but in this case, it will be more convenient for the children in our village. Children from other villages have to walk twenty miles a day to reach our village. It’s still fifteen or six miles away.”

Shi Lei nodded, thinking that there was still such a situation, he frowned and said, "Then the children just walk to school every day?"

"Those who have cows at home will drive a bullock cart to send them there. Most of the children can only walk there by themselves. But don't worry, we are poor here, but there are no bad people. The children will not have any trouble on their way to and from school. What danger."

Shi Lei pondered for a moment and said, "Does anyone in our village know how to ride a bicycle? What about other villages?"

"That thing is not difficult. If you get on it, you can ride it no matter what."

"Old village chief, if I donate a batch of bicycles to various villages, will the villagers here be able to send their children to school on bicycles?"

"That's no problem, but don't spend any more money. Our roads here are not good, and bicycles are precious. If you can't ride them, they will break. Besides, we don't dare to let you spend any more money. You can come and help the children. I can’t thank you enough for making up for the missed lessons.”

Shi Lei said with a smile: "I happen to be doing this, and the cars we produce have no other characteristics than being strong and durable. And the cost is not much, so you don't have to worry. How many villages are there in total?"

The old village mayor Ji Ai Ai refused to say anything for a long time, but a voice from outside said: "Seven."

"I will give five bicycles to each village..."

The transition chapter is to lead to the big plot later, so please be patient.
