Chapter 23 Reading

"We are rich and noble! When I was outside the door just now, my father asked you if you were asked in the county town clearly. You have explained it clearly. Your Uncle Wang has told you something. You can talk to your father first," said Zhang Youcai.

Zhang Fugui told his father Zhang Youcai a lot about what he saw and heard in the county town this time, as well as the words he said after talking to Uncle Wang, and what Uncle Wang said to him one by one.

After hearing this, Zhang Youcai quickly clapped his legs and applauded, and said with a smile: "Wealthy! Now the situation in our village is getting more and more prosperous. I have to thank the good policies introduced by the Party and the country! Since Uncle Wang said that you would come back and lead the villagers to form an engineering team, you should also think more about it. The burden on you is not light!"

Li Jianmei, a woman sitting next to her, interrupted and said, "Fugui! Although I, a woman, don't know how to form an engineering team, I think you should talk to Uncle Tianyou about such a big deal. It's better to win the support of Uncle Tianyou. After all, Uncle Tianyou was once the top leader of our village. Most people in this village can trust Uncle Tianyou!"

After hearing what his daughter-in-law Li Jianmei said, Zhang Youcai responded, "Jianmei said it to you, wealthy! You have to take the time to discuss with your Uncle Tianyou. First, it is because your Uncle Tianyou is very smart and experienced, and second, it is because your current village chief was still given to you by your Uncle Tianyou. Besides, he is your elder. If you have something to do, he will discuss with him, and his face will be shining!"

"Okay, okay, Dad, Fugui will listen to you. I will go to Uncle Tianyou's house to find Uncle Tianyou and discuss it with Uncle Tianyou," said Zhang Fugui.

After Li Jianmei, the woman from the family had dinner around the vegetable table. Zhang Youcai stayed aside from a distance and lit his cigarette puff with matches and started smoking. Zhang Fugui called the two babies in front of him, "Shaoping" and "Shao'an" and "Shao'an" and "Shao'an" and "Shao'an" with a smile and said, "Shaoping", "Shao'an", Dad is going to let you go to the town to study elementary school, are you happy?"

"Dad, what is going to primary school? Is it fun to go to primary school?" Zhang Shaoping said with a smile, touching his head.

Zhang Shaoan was close to his brother Zhang Shaoping, staring at his father Zhang Fugui in a daze, silently.

Zhang Fugui didn't know how to answer the question of "Shaoping" child. After all, he had never read a book since he was a child. He didn't know what reading felt like, so he smiled and said, "You can read this and you can read it. If you have more words, your mind will be inspired! If you have a solid cultural foundation, you might also teach others to read a few words! Anyway, reading this has only benefits but no harm."

The two babies stared at their father Zhang Fugui with wide eyes, and were attracted by Zhang Fugui's good reading.

"Dad, since you are so good at studying, why don't you go?" Zhang Shaoan said in confusion.

Zhang Fugui responded with a smile: "Dad is at this age and can't go to school anymore. Besides, if Dad goes to school, who will make money to buy you the big white rabbit milk candy!"

When talking about the big white rabbit milk candy, the drooling water in the mouths of the two dolls could not stop flowing down. Zhang Fugui smiled and said to the two dolls: "Look at you two, when talking about the big white rabbit milk candy, the drooling water is full of the mouths. As long as your brother study hard, dad will reward you big white rabbit milk candy. Whoever studys the best will get more big white rabbit milk candy."

After hearing this, the two babies were filled with big white rabbit milk candy, and they were looking forward to entering the school earlier to study hard and then eat big white rabbit milk candy.

When Li Jianmei, the woman, heard that her husband was going to ask the two dolls to study in the town, she thought that she should make something for the two dolls. This happened to Fugui brought a few pieces of cloth from the county town. Li Jianmei planned to take one out to sew a bag for each of her dolls, and could also hold some books and other things.

This is just a mouth-handle style, and it is a real style. Li Jianmei, a woman, picked a piece of navy blue cloth and cut it with scissors, and then sewed it bit by bit with needle and thread. She then drove off two shoulder-shoulder schoolbags according to the size and length of the two dolls.

The morning light slowly kicked off, and another colorful morning came to the world with freshness.

Zhang Fugui woke up two dolls early in the morning and asked them to follow him to Qilong Town with his wife Li Jianmei's shoulder bag sewn overnight.

"Shaoping" and "Shao'an" are also well-behaved. Along the way, he followed his father Zhang Fugui closely without fighting or making trouble. Seeing that the two babies are so well-behaved, Zhang Fugui smiled and said to the two babies: "Shaoping, Shao'an, Dad, I'll send your brothers to school in the town today. You two have to remember the way along, otherwise it would be bad if you can't find the way home by then."

"Dad, won't you come to pick us up?" Zhang Shaoping said.

Zhang Fugui responded with a smile: "Shaoping! Dad will take you to school and then come back to lead the villagers to live a good life, so Dad can't take time to pick you up at school. You two are not young anymore. From now on, you two have to go with your brothers to go with you after school."

After hearing his father Zhang Fugui talk, Zhang Shaoping and Zhang Shaoan were still a little scared. After all, they had never left the village since childhood and are now going to Qilong Town to study. The journey back and forth is not close, and it is more than ten miles away when they are about to touch. This is not easy for two dolls, seven or eight years old!

Zhang Fugui felt a little sorry for his baby Shaoping and Shaoan, but when he thought that everything he was about to do was to live a good life in this family, he felt a little comforted.

In order to make the two babies happy, Zhang Fugui took out two big white rabbit milk candies from his purse and handed them to Shaoping and Shaoan. He said with a smile: "This is the big white rabbit milk candies that Dad put in his purse in the morning and gave it to your brothers for food. In order to let your brothers eat more big white rabbit milk candies, he must be busy. I hope you two can understand Dad."

When the two dolls saw the Big White Rabbit Milk Candy, they put aside all their worries and fears. They chewed the Big White Rabbit Milk Candy in their mouths and responded to Zhang Fugui with a smile: "Dad, then you are busy, we must study hard to eat more Big White Rabbit Milk Candy."

"Okay, okay, as long as your brothers study hard, dad will give you more milk candies to eat from you, and you must ensure that you can handle it enough," Zhang Fugui said with a smile.

The father and son passed by Yingshan and crossed Tianshui River, followed the thin and long earth-gravel road, and soon walked to Qilong Town. After walking in Qilong Town for a while, they walked to Qilong Town Primary School.

In addition to a three-story teaching building, Qilong Town Primary School has only two basketball frame playgrounds under the teaching building. The playground is covered with stones, and there is a flagpole in the middle of the two basketball frames. A glittering five-star red flag is flying above the flagpole.

Zhang Fugui walked straight into the principal's office with two dolls with his hands. The principal of Qilong Town Primary School was a man in his fifties, and his education level was only at high school level. However, at that time, he was also an educated and skilled intellectual.

The principal's surname is Jin Rong, with a gray beard on his face and curly hair on his head. Because his hair has been curly and not straight, someone nicknamed him "Curly Hair" when he was a child.

Principal Jin saw Zhang Fugui coming towards him, and said in confusion: "Which village are you from? What's the matter with me?"

"Hello, principal! I am Zhang Fugui from Zhangjia Village. I will come to our Qilong Town Primary School with two babies today!" Zhang Fugui said with a smile.

Principal Jin looked at Zhang Fugui and the two little carrot heads beside him, "Shaoping" and "Shao'an", and responded: "Are you the village chief of Zhangjia Village Zhang Fugui?"

"Yes, I am Zhang Fugui, the village chief of Zhangjia Village," said Zhang Fugui.

"Why, do you know me?"

"Know, know".

"I have heard of your name for a long time. A few years ago, you were the only one in Qilong Town to develop a land responsibility system. Later, the county issued a red-headed document, and Qilong Town also developed a responsibility system. At first, it was a contracted production to the group, but not long after, it simply contracted production to households. The farmers in Qilong Town have been moist in the past few years!" said Principal Jin.

"Yes! All of this has to be thanked for the good policies implemented by the Party and the country! Otherwise, how could we farmers live a good life!" Zhang Fugui said with a smile.

Principal Jin looked at the two little carrot heads standing next to Zhang Fugui, and said with a smile: "These two dolls should be yours!"

"Yes! These two brothers are twins, the older one is called Shaoping and the younger one is called Shaoan," said Zhang Fugui.

No matter how you look at Principal Jin couldn't tell which of the two dolls in front of him was the elder brother and the younger brother. He felt a little dazzled and said to Fugui with a smile: "Then, do you want the two dolls to go to school today?"

"On the other hand, I'm here today just to ask the principal to help me and let these two dolls go to school with the dolls in the classroom," said Zhang Fugui.

"Okay, okay, now the country also advocates cultivating these buds of the motherland. Don't worry, hand these two dolls to me!" said Principal Jin.

"Don't worry, I must be relieved. We, Fugui, have never studied any books since we were young, and we did not suffer any cultural losses. Now this situation is getting better and better. In order to prevent the baby from suffering from cultural losses, I have to let the two baby read the books even if I sell the pot!" Zhang Fugui said.

After Zhang Fugui finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the two dolls, and said with a smile: "Shaoping, Shaoan, your brothers will follow Principal Jin to study at school from now on. Do you two remember the way home?"

"Dad, don't worry! I remember the way home this time," said Zhang Shaoping.

Zhang Fugui felt a little relieved, so he touched Shaoping's head, took out two dolls from his wallet and handed it to Principal Jin. Principal Jin took the tuition fee and smiled and signaled Zhang Fugui to leave with peace of mind.
