Chapter 239 [238] Help from behind(1/2)

reservation.

The preparations before the ceremony were very cumbersome, and all clans had to be busy. Finally, they gathered the tribal alliance to open the curtain of spring festivals.

The old custom was originally intended to worship the world.

Now, on the one hand, it is a celebration for ordinary Sioux people, and it has kicked off the cattle, sheep and horse market, and the work in the reserve pastoral area has begun.

On the other hand, you have retained the boss’ New Year layout work meeting.

What to do this year and what goals to achieve, and after several leaders communicate and implement the work part, they will be distributed in turn.

The reservation tribe is a family group.

This year, the legal planting area has been completed, new business is started, and the work is allocated... or the form of cake sharing is becoming increasingly severe.

Because, there are only so many jobs.

For example, how to divide the planting areas and how to take charge of the casino business, there are all arguments, and there are no open and secret struggles.

Rethia was only visited as an ordinary festival in previous years.

But this year the chief spoke out to publicly commend her, thanking her for her help in the education of the reservation and for speaking out for the reservation in writing.

The practical effect of publishing books may not be very good.

But it is a kind of motivation, and I hope more people will follow Rethia.

So, she is now following Toya.

While a small meeting was not started, Toya smiled and said, "What did Li say?"

Retia was very calm. She almost only showed the little girl's behavior in front of Li Qin. She was a person who was always deserted in the past: "Li said I would like to convey my gratitude..."

"Grandpa, although I shouldn't point fingers at your affairs, Li Qin is a good person and I don't want him to cause any trouble."

Toya stared at Rethia and smiled bitterly at his younger generations in a rare way: "I am the patriarch, you and his grandfather, can I cause trouble for him?"

Rethia said nothing and answered with silence.

Toya felt a headache.

He obviously disliked Rethia's neither humble nor arrogant, but this was what he valued.

There are few people from the Snow Mountain Tribe who can talk to him like Rethia and have such a cold expression.

Grandpa and granddaughter’s relationship is nothing.

There are no less than thirty children calling Toya's grandfather.

If it were someone else, Toya would have been furious long ago...

But now.

Toya couldn't help but glance at Pang Di who was talking to several tribal patriarchs in the main seat not far away...

Pang Di said it well.

Education is the top priority of the reservation.

The Xueshan family also produced a college student named Retia.

Pang Di himself was the first top student to go out on the entire reservation. He had experienced it outside. After returning, he accumulated strength with thunder and finally took advantage of his illness to reach a high position and hold great power.

Retia's openness is a kind of capital, at least it proves that she is a malleable talent.

Looking back decades ago.

When Toya was the head of the tribe, he was still trembling and submissive. He was forced to resist and gain reputation, and finally became the chief of the tribe, and gradually became as majestic as he is now.

My thoughts drifted away unconsciously and were pulled back by him. He actually grabbed Retia's hand: "Grandpa has no intention of harming you. Li is a brave soldier. Not only I agree, but Pang Di also agrees, but he is a foreigner in the end. I will not rely on him, but you are different. He is your man and should shelter you from the wind and rain."

Retia didn't understand what his grandfather was talking about.

It was obvious that it was a matter of the two, why did they praise Li Yitong again?

But she heard it in her heart and was happy.

She is not a vain person, but in New York, she does feel that her man is not chosen wrong.

"Grandpa, why are you talking about this?"

"Haha, it's okay, just let you know that I have no bad intentions."

At this moment.

Everyone around him sat down, and Rethia also sat on a small bench at the base of the wall, listening with a group of tribal elders, and could speak out when needed, but she would definitely not point fingers.

"Everyone is here, let's talk about an important thing first."

“I want to apply for community college qualifications on reservations, white children do not need to have high SAT admissions and can also get higher education, and we can’t.”

"Since the previous year, all reservations in all areas of the country have been applying for quotas, and we must have what others have."

"So many children become workers and herdsmen after high school. This is a huge waste of resources and backwardness. Our future lies in the children."

"So, the revenue of all casinos has been reduced this year, and it is a basic preparation for the construction of community universities."

The words are over.

The scene was in chaos and noisy.

Casino income is the most important source of income for reservations. Even if there are planting areas now, the income is not stable now and the tax pressure is huge.

The income of a year is targeted, which many people cannot accept, which is equivalent to the damage to their respective interests, and each tribe has shares and dividends.

Just when someone was about to object, a low and old voice sounded: "I agree!"

"Everyone has seen Rethia's achievements."

"If it weren't for Ruben, she might have become a university lecturer and let more people know about the suffering and misery of us Sioux people."

"But even so, she is doing her part to make a voice for all the Sioux people."

“Retia can do it, and so can other children. I don’t think our children are stupider than whites.”

“…”

Silence came, silent.

Everyone's eyes wandered on Pondi and Toya.

When did the abdicated elder stand with Pang Di?

But when I looked at Retia again, everyone not only smiled... Community college is indeed a good thing. Who doesn’t want such an excellent child?

But when I think of the loss of money, I still struggle.

Retia stood up at this time...

She didn't want to speak at first, but she agreed with what Pang Di and her grandfather said: "It is necessary to establish a community university."

"Even if they are not as passionate about literature as I do, they can lay the foundation for their own future."

"If you have an education, you can get a good job, and even black people can become politicians, rich men, engineers, scientists, and Sioux people."

These words are a little shallow, but the idea is good.

For a group of tribal elders, they really don’t care about what happens decades later. Even if the university is established next year, how many children can truly grow up?

As it seems now, it is too illusory.

"Raise your hands to vote." Pang Di spoke directly, looking serious and irresistible.

When people around him looked at each other, most of them became sensible.

And there were a few people next to Toya.

It is normal for inter-tribal alliances to be united.

Now that the backbone is speaking, they naturally cannot veto it...

More than half of the people raised their hands.

When Pang Di saw this, he didn't give anyone else any more time to talk to, so he made a decision: "This matter is decided, the next issue."

Some are helpless, and some are happy.

Retiya sat down.

And when the meeting was half an hour, someone came from outside and ran to Pon Di's ear and whispered.

Pang Di's face turned red instantly, full of joy...

Suddenly, "Everyone should have learned about Eugene's rural and pastoral areas? There was a problem with the Sackman project. The rural and pastoral areas were demonstrated and marched. Maybe our opportunity has come!"

When everyone heard this, they all showed a joking expression.

After fighting, the reserve did nothing, and who would have thought that the capitalists from Wall Street would kill themselves.

However, at this moment.

A hint of panic flashed in Toya's eyes, and he settled down in an instant, but was unaware of it. He suddenly burst into laughter: "It seems that our land is about to expand again, this is a good thing!"

"But..." Toya turned his tone, his eyes looked out the window and showed his ruthlessness, "Now is not the best time to start..."
To be continued...
