Chapter 72 New Semester
On October 1st, it has been a month since students started school in many places in China, but primary schools in the northern townships of Yuyang County have just started school one after another.
Registration for Gaojiawan Primary School started today. Baosheng and Shen Ruobing had breakfast early and saw that parents were already bringing their children to register.
The cheapest registration fee is RMB 8.6 for the first grade and RMB 12.8 for the fourth grade. From Baosheng's point of view, this tuition fee is extremely cheap, but when they saw the student's parents carefully counting the money in their hands, they then solemnly handed it over to Shen Ruobing.
, Baosheng felt very uncomfortable.
All of this is caused by poverty, because lack of money leads to poverty in every aspect. The most basic purpose of everyone is to have food to survive, so that children can study and learn knowledge, and there may be one less worker in the family. If they can find a way
I also want to change my family’s destiny.
Baosheng also signed up Qiqi, and Qiqi will be in second grade this year. Qiqi went to school in their hometown for one year and basically learned nothing. She had no learning foundation before going to school, and she didn't even know how to write.
She couldn't even hold them, so her elder sister bought her pencils and notebooks when she was in first grade.
There was no one to register by noon. After registration, everyone left. Shen Ruobing collected the money and had to send it to the countryside in the afternoon. He had to hand the money to the central primary school in the village to get the textbooks.
"The number of applicants today is 62, which is 9 more than last semester. There are 21 freshmen in the first grade, which is very good. Today there is a ten-year-old child who signed up for the first grade. This is a good sign." Shen Ruobing spent all his money with
He put the information away and said to Baosheng.
"I see that some parents have not paid enough tuition fees. Will the central primary school in the countryside give you textbooks when you get there?" Gao Baosheng asked.
"I'll pay it in advance! A total of 9 students have not paid all the money, a total of 55.2 yuan. They will pay me back when their parents have money!"
There are still two students who have not signed up. I will have to go to their homes later to find out what is the reason for not signing up. If the family has no money to send their children to school first, and if the parents are not willing, I will have to do some ideological work for parents.
." Shen Ruobing said matter-of-factly.
"It's really not easy for you!" Baosheng said.
"Teacher Sun was about to leave when I came here. She spent more than half of her salary to pay student tuition fees during the three years she stayed here. If her family had no other choice, she would not have chosen to leave," Shen Ruobing said.
After lunch, Baosheng drove Shen Ruobing to the home of two students in a neighboring village who had not signed up. Fortunately, these two families did not sign up because they were poor. Shen Ruobing and Gao Baosheng came together. Now Baosheng is famous in the villages around Gaojiawan.
That was a big deal. When they heard that they owed the tuition fees, they all agreed to send their children back to school.
On the way to send Shen Ruobing to the countryside, Baosheng was in a bad mood, but Shen Ruobing comforted him.
"Baosheng, the situation in many places in our country is similar to that in Mengjiawan Township. In some places, children still can't go to school! You don't have to worry too much. A person's ability is limited. Everything is developing for the better now. This year's school
There are 11 more students than last year, which is a good thing."
The main reason why Shen Ruobing and Baosheng were able to get together was that they both wanted this land to become better. Gao Baosheng saw Shen Ruobing's concern and comfort and smiled at her, and he decided
Ask my father to hire workers from these two families. The two families can earn dozens of dollars more, which is very important to their family.
After paying for the textbooks with Shen Ruobing from the central primary school, Baosheng saw that there were still a lot of people in the cattle and sheep market, but the cattle dealers no longer drove here. Many cattle were not sold during the township fair, or their families did not have enough money to pay back.
People who want to buy cattle are still here.
There is no one to manage the township association. You can come every day if you want. It is already October and there is only one and a half months left until winter. Many families who are not in a good situation hope to sell their cattle and buy them next year. In winter, cattle must be sold.
Only ** feed is enough. If you raise cattle that you don’t eat at home and can’t make it through the winter, you will suffer a big loss.
There are stalls on the streets of Luojiawan Township. Occasionally, you can see people eating at roadside stalls. The day after tomorrow is the village festival next to it, and the stall sellers will go to other township gatherings tomorrow. In this way, the stall sellers can directly
You can save some travel expenses by taking things there.
Baosheng originally wanted to eat a bowl of mutton steamed buns, but the seller didn't make soup because the business was not good. They had a day off and would leave tomorrow morning. Baosheng bought three kilograms of mutton and thirty servings of soup and steamed buns they sold, which cost ten dollars.
For two yuan, it can be seen that if they sell a bowl of mutton steamed buns for 8 cents, they can still make at least 4 cents.
After the Luojiawan Township Meeting, Gao Baosheng’s reputation in Gaojiawan Village has become more and more popular in the township. One of the main reasons for this is that Deputy Township Chief Li gave Gaojiawan a full sand control and afforestation subsidy.
The matter has reached all the villages in Mengjiawan Township, and many people are making trouble with their village chiefs, wanting to receive more subsidies like Gaojiawan Village.
This matter is still under preparation. Gaojiawan Township received 10,000 yuan, while other villages received 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. This is a big deal for the people of Mengjiawan who have worked hard together and whose families are not wealthy.
Everyone thinks it is because Baosheng Township gave Gaojiawan so much money. If Gao Guoliang had the ability, Gaojiawan would have received it long ago. What is wrong with the township leaders that the people have not noticed for so long? But it is useless for them to know.
That’s it!
But now that Baosheng has given them a try, everyone hopes to make this matter bigger, even if they know that they may offend the village leaders. But if everyone makes trouble together, the leaders will have no choice.
What makes Gao Baosheng famous is the cattle they raise. Some people say that Baosheng has miraculous cattle-raising skills. As long as he feeds the cows for one day, he can grow ten pounds of meat, and he can turn a lazy cow into a good cow in three days.
Shi Shi Baosheng turned out to be the best person in raising cattle in the village. According to legend, many people have magical qualities.
Everyone in the village knew that Jijiagou sent feed to Gaojiawan. It was almost time to harvest the corn in the village. Many villages sold their corn to Ji Pengfei. Although they didn’t know that Ji Pengfei made money by sending feed to Gaojiawan.
How much money was paid, but looking at Ji Pengfei's triumphant look, everyone was envious.
Baosheng is responsible for raising cattle at home, Shen Ruobing is responsible for teaching children, Gao Guoliang is responsible for building a house at home, Gao Guozhong is responsible for building greenhouse vegetable plots and raising seedlings, Gao Guoming is mainly responsible for raising fish and feed, and finally
The matter of raising cattle is still left to Baosheng.
On October 3, Gao Guoming drove 7 cows with Gao Guozhong to Hongshiqiao Township, west of Mengjiawan Township. Today, after a meeting in Hongshiqiao Township, the two of them went to sell cattle again.
Gao Guozhong followed Baosheng's suggestion and called two people from the village to go with him. They both knew a lot about cattle and could help Gao Guozhong a lot.
"Baosheng, the three households in Wanghe Village have finished cutting the corn stalks. When your fourth uncle comes back in the afternoon, hurry up and pull back all the corn stalks and give the money to them.
We want other people's corn stalks just to help others, so don't make everyone anxious in the end!" Gao Guoliang went to dig a pit after dinner. In the past few days, the third brother-in-law took several brothers from his family with him.
He came over to help build a house. He was digging pits for free and he had to go and see.
"The cows are eating more and more. Ruobing said that there are two other families in the third sister's village who are not in good condition and they can't even pay the school fees. Tell my third brother-in-law this afternoon and sell their corn stalks to us.
." Gao Baosheng said.
Baosheng did not do many things at home himself, but left them to his family members. This was to allow more family members to improve themselves. In the future, the family situation will get better and better, and it is likely to become a company, so that they can take on more tasks.
responsibility.
"We have bought 16 acres of corn stalks from six families. This should be enough for cattle to eat! Our family and your three uncles have not finished cutting the corn yet!" Gao Guoliang said.
"There's no harm in preparing more. If I can't finish it, I'll find a way to store the corn stalks. Let's keep some cattle for the family and sell them at a good price next year," Baosheng said.
"Okay, I'll do what you said. I just don't know what your second uncle will do if he sells cattle today. We spent all our money on selling cattle!" Gao Guoliang said with some worry.
Watching his father go out, Baosheng was not worried at all.
The cows brought in today have been raised at home for six days. These seven cows have grown in size in just six days. They are no longer thin and have nothing to do with it. Instead, they look stronger and more energetic.
Baosheng drinks space water by himself, knowing that drinking it for a long time can promote growth. He doesn't really want to raise cattle at home for a long time, so feeding too much space water will make people suspicious.
The purpose of asking for so many corn stalks is purely to help others, because Baosheng has discovered that his spatial water level has increased rapidly in the past few days. This is partly due to his growing reputation in the village, and partly because of his contribution to the school. The villagers are very grateful to him.
own gratitude.
Another one is to buy corn stalks by yourself. For the first time, Baosheng paid the other party 530 yuan to buy 2 acres of corn stalks from his brother's house. The water in the space increased by more than three tons in one day, and the total increase was about 15 tons in one consecutive week. In addition,
The red line representing the bottom line of his spatial water increase also increased accordingly.
Buying fifteen tons of space water for 530 yuan, adding a small amount of space water to increase the long-term increase, and adding a series of good effects on himself, Baosheng felt that this transaction was worth it. He called the red curve on the space warehouse the basic value, and the green curve on the space warehouse.
The amount of space water obtained is the actual value. He saw that the basic value has increased rapidly recently, but the actual value has remained at the same level. This shows that his ability to obtain space water is actually increasing.
Seeing his father coming out of the yard, Gao Baosheng called out "White Wolf", and a white puppy ran out of his cave, wagging its tail at him!
"You are getting smarter and smarter now. Let me eat some meat paste for you...slow down!" Baosheng reached into his pocket and actually took out some meat paste mixed with cooked beef and space water from the space warehouse for the white wolf to eat.
The white wolf quickly ate the meat in Baosheng's hand. He was so greedy now that he didn't even eat the steamed buns soaked in water in space. If he didn't give him meat every day, he would be very unhappy. Who told Baosheng to secretly eat meat alone all the time?
"Come on, I'll give you more exercise. Seeing as you're too timid to leave the cave, I thought you could be a housekeeper when you grow up!" Baosheng said to the white wolf after he saw it finished eating the meat paste in his hand.
I came to the cattle pen and watched the 18 cows eating all the grass in the trough. Baosheng gave them some more. The house was a mess outside, so the cows were not driven out to graze. If Baosheng stayed at home, he could help.
Busy, everyone in the family is very busy now.
After adding enough fodder, Baosheng watched all the cows eating voraciously. He took an empty bucket and was about to pour water into it, but all the cows looked over and they were all waiting for Baosheng to feed them.
Eighteen cows, each with half a bucket of spatial water. The cows had to lick the bucket clean before they were willing to raise their heads. Baosheng was busy for half an hour and gave all the cows a drink of spatial water. At this time, the cows ate the fodder in the trough.
When it was almost done, Baosheng added more fodder to the cattle.
After adding the fodder, Baosheng cleaned the cow pen and continued adding feed. These 18 cows are really enough for one person to keep busy.
After lunch, seeing that the cows were all full and lying in their pens, Baosheng went to Chidi to see the construction of greenhouses. Many women and children from the village came to help. Baosheng once talked about the future planting of vegetables in greenhouses.
To harvest the harvest, people from the village are invited to do the work. Many people hope to make some money from this.
Baosheng feels that this is the correct way to develop. In this era when collective interests are greater than individual interests, Baosheng is unwilling to do collective economy. Some people can get a lot of wealth without paying and relying on the collective. This is not helping them but harming them.
them.
Use the collective money of the village to improve everyone's living environment. How each family lives depends on their own efforts. Baosheng will only help everyone, but will not help everyone. Unless the family really needs special care, then that is him.
I have really developed to a certain level and am capable of helping others.
Many reasons for the strength of the Chinese people are that they have the unity factor deeply engraved in their bones, which is why they can be so willful and develop from a poor and backward agricultural country to the world's second largest economy in just forty years.
The largest engine of development in the world.
I watched the construction of the greenhouse for a while by the lake. His father had fed the fish in the lake early today. Baosheng saw that the water plants in the lake had grown very dense after he had been adding water to them for a month. So he was not worried.
There isn’t enough food for the fish. It doesn’t matter if you feed the fish less to make them grow slower. His space water has brought too many changes to the village. Thanks to this being a poor desert area, everyone knows less. Baosheng is already worried.
Ten years later, when everyone has money, someone will appear who understands this. He can't explain it.
The sound of reading could be heard loudly from Gaojiawan Primary School in the distance, making everything here seem very harmonious. The people who helped work in Ikeda also had satisfied smiles on their faces.
Baosheng came to the school and saw that the school door was closed. He did not open the door and go in. Shen Ruobing was the only teacher in the fourth grade of the school, so he did not disturb her.
Just as Baosheng turned around and was about to leave, he saw a sidecar motorcycle approaching from the village entrance on the west side of Green Sea Lake. Baosheng saw them walking around Green Sea Lake and walking towards the school, and knew that this might be the new teacher sent to Gaojiawan by the township.
Chapter completed!
