Chapter 133
"Out!" Lao Lao Lao Wei saw their family of four in the crowd at a glance.
"Uncle is good, Brother Ming is good." Little girl Wei Le greeted them with a hoarse voice.
Wei Ming wondered: "Lele, what's wrong with your throat?"
Wei Ping'an and Lu Xiaoyan sighed helplessly. Xizi broke the news: "We heard someone singing 'Where is Spring' on the train. I said it was sung by Lele, but they didn't believe it, so I let Lele sing until they believed it!"
Wei Ping'an said: "There were many passengers changing beside us along the way. This stinky boy showed off to others that his sister is a little singer, and Lele is the same. The brother asked her to sing, and she sang until I didn't want to listen to this song anymore."
Lu Xiaoyan hurriedly fed Lele water again. Wei Ming could feel that Lele was actually enjoying it.
He pointed to the mule cart and motorcycle outside the station: "Who is coming with me."
As a result, both little ones were interested in the mule cart, holding hands and getting into the cart. Xizi also wanted to touch the mule's butt with his hands.
The motorcycle was not fresh to them. Their grandfather was in the army, and they had sat in the sidecar, and even sat in a jeep, but this kind of animal-drawn cart was the first time. The siblings also had a heated discussion about whether this was a horse or a donkey.
Helplessly, Wei Ming had to ride his motorcycle slowly, letting the mule pull the five of them.
On the way home, they were still discussing the crazy spread speed of "Where is Spring."
Wei Ping'an: "We heard it for the first time at the reception in Shanghai, and we heard several children singing it when we got on the train."
Lu Xiaoyan didn't mention Gong Xue in front of Lao Lao Lao Wei, but still hinted: "The heroine helped a lot during the audition, and invited us to dinner afterwards."
Wei Ming said "oh" plainly, and talked about donating money to the village primary school to change the subject.
Uncle Ping'an said with surprise: "Xiao Ming can have this heart, it is really moving. He is worthy of being a writer of children's literature. This is the so-called 'love your own children and love others' children'!"
Wei Jiefang: "What stuff? Meat what meat?"
Wei Ping'an: "Then you think, if you want these rural children to study hard and explode with the greatest potential, from which aspects should you start."
Wei Ming also thought about this question seriously: "First of all, it is the school. I cannot interfere with the teachers, so I will make up for the teaching aids and teaching assistants, so that the atmosphere and environment for students to learn will be better. Then it is the parents of the students. Some families have not realized the importance of education yet. But the most critical thing is the determination of the students themselves to take the college entrance exam to see the world. If they give up on themselves, then no amount of donation will be useful."
Wei Ping'an praised: "The analysis is very good!"
Wei Jiefang: "Don't talk about those useless things, just say how much money is appropriate to donate."
Wei Ping'an thought for a while and asked tentatively: "How about one thousand yuan."
Wei Jiefang jumped off the donkey cart directly: "Good guy, it's not your money, so you don't feel bad!"
He felt that five hundred could not be more.
Wei Ping'an laughed: "I really want to help a little, but forget it this time. I don't need this reputation, but Xiao Ming needs it. Don't go home first, go to the brigade headquarters with me first."
Wei Jiefang: "What are you going there for?"
"Borrow the phone."
"Wei Ping'an's family is back in the village!"
This news spread quickly. Although Wei Ming is also very famous and makes money, he is a new noble after all. Compared with Wei Ping'an's prestige in the ten miles and eight villages, it is still a bit worse.
This is a big department head in Yanjing City, the only Peking University student in the village's history, and he married a commander's daughter. "Ping'an County has a Wei Ping'an." Who didn't know back then.
The key is that his life experience is also very miserable, which can be considered a model of counter-attack.
He was a posthumous child. At that time, Wei Jiefang's father, Wei Senhao, brought Ping'an's mother back from the outside, saying it was his cousin's wife, but the cousin sacrificed in the war outside. Since then, the mother and son took root in Gouzitun.
But because he had no father since he was a child, Wei Ping'an was bullied a lot when he was a child. If it weren't for Wei Jiefang's protection, his childhood would probably be gray.
Among the people who bullied Wei Ping'an when he was a child, Zhao Chunlai, one of more than a dozen brothers and cousins, was one of them.
Hearing that this old classmate was back, he was anxious and hurriedly hid in the brigade headquarters. Village-level cadres and county-level cadres really couldn't meet.
Who would have thought that Wei Ping'an rushed directly to the brigade headquarters? The two finally met. Zhao Chunlai's heart was surging, his face was rich in expression, while Wei Ping'an nodded to him lightly, and then said he wanted to borrow the phone.
Jia San'er, the dog-legged man, hurriedly arranged for him and asked: "Director Wei, who are you calling?"
"In the county, I'm looking for Director Yao Siyuan."
Hearing that Wei Ping'an wanted to call the director of the County Revolutionary Committee, Accountant Jia was not surprised at all. After all, they were at the same level, so he immediately helped him dial.
"Hello, old schoolmate, it's me, Wei Ping'an, haha, right, I'm back in my hometown. There is something I want to report to you..."
After the call, Wei Ping'an chatted with the old branch secretary Zhou Xingbang for a few words, and then prepared to go home to rest first. After sitting on the train for so long, he was indeed a bit tired.
And at this time, Xizi and Lele had long been brought home by Wei Ming's motorcycle. Wei Hong saw this pair of cousins for the first time and liked them very much, especially Lele, who sang so well at such a young age. She really wanted to hear her perform live once.
"Hong, forget it. Didn't you see she didn't speak? Her throat is uncomfortable."
Lele said embarrassedly: "I will sing for sister when my throat is better." Wei Hong hurriedly said: "It's okay, then, then let's pick eggs!"
Two days ago, the five chickens in their family finally laid eggs for the first time. Wei Hong kept them without picking them just to let the children in the city experience it.
Touching eggs is a project that requires great courage. Xizi took the lead, wearing leather gloves and ignoring the hen's physical attack, successfully touched two eggs!
Xu Shufen laughed: "Should we fry these two eggs for Xizi and Lele to eat today?"
Xizi didn't agree: "I still want to hatch chicks, one for me, one for Lele."
Wei Ming glanced at the yard. There was no rooster in his family, so the chicks definitely couldn't be hatched, but Xizi, a city kid, might not have such knowledge concepts. He felt that such a small knowledge point was very suitable for integration into the "Chief Black Cat" series, which was interesting and could popularize science.
Then Wei Ming used hunting as bait to let Xizi let go of the eggs.
Xizi also longed to hold a yellow dog in his left hand and a hawk in his right. He asked: "What about the dog?"
Wei Ming laughed: "Don't worry, your uncle has already borrowed a hunting dog for you, and it will come soon."
At this time, Wei Jiefang pulled Wei Ping'an and his wife back. They first went to the backyard, which is Wei Ping'an's house.
!
Lao Lao Lao Wei repaired it for them again, and burned the stove early in the morning, which was very warm at night.
Seeing his mother Cheng Ziyan's photo placed in the main hall, Wei Ping'an said to Wei Jiefang with emotion: "Thank you, brother!"
"Don't say that."
Xizi and Lele also entered the room. Seeing their grandmother's big photo for the first time, Xizi said quickly: "Grandma is so beautiful, like a female spy in a movie!"
This is like praising someone like a fox spirit in later generations, both are high-level praise. Lu Xiaoyan had never been praised like this.
Lunch was eaten at Wei Jiefang's house. Not only was there hot pork stew, but Xu Shufen also bought a fish.
In addition, her mapo tofu was also scrambled for, only Lele could look but not eat because of her throat.
After the meal, Wei Hong, as the eldest sister, took Qi Delong and Xile, and led the fine dog borrowed from the neighboring village by Wei Jiefang to "hunt" in the fields outside the house.
At the same time, Yao Siyuan, the director of the county revolutionary committee, brought Xiao Sun, a correspondent who had written articles for the "Hebei Daily," to Gouzitun, attended, witnessed, and recorded the donation of the writer Wei Ming to the Gouzitun village primary school.
It was a huge sum of 1,000 yuan in total. The money arrived in the village account and was used for special purposes.
500 yuan of it was used directly to purchase items needed by the school and repair doors and windows.
The other 500 yuan was divided into two uses.
One part was used to directly reward students. For example, the junior high school entrance exam this summer, directly rewarding students with excellent grades with cash, 50 yuan for the first place, 30 yuan for the second place, and 20 yuan for the third place.
The top three in other grades can be rewarded with some notebooks and pens.
Another part was used to broaden the students' horizons. Wei Ming prepared to organize a city tour for the top three in each grade during the summer vacation.
Without personally feeling the gap between the capital and the countryside, they would not understand how happy it is to study in a big city. Wei Ming wanted to let them open their eyes and see the world.
This time it is Yanjing. Later, when he has greater ability, maybe there will be Shanghai, Hong Kong, and even foreign trips.
Correspondent Xiao Sun excitedly recorded what he saw and heard today. The writer Wei is a few years younger than himself, but his achievements make him look up to him, and his virtue makes many people, including himself, feel ashamed!
From today on, Wei Jiefang has transformed into Principal Wei. Except for the animals in the brigade, he has something he cares more about.
When visiting graves the next day, Wei Jiefang wore a liberation cap, a Zhong Shan suit, and even a fountain pen in his pocket.
In one day, Wei Ming's large donation has spread throughout the village, and even began to spread to the whole commune and the whole county. Everyone praised that the Wei family's grave was smoking green smoke and produced two characters.
At this time, if anyone borrowed money from Wei Jiefang, he would have more confidence: "My son's money has been donated to the education cause of Gouzitun! Or I will draw some from that donation for you... You really dare to agree, you ask the whole village if they agree!"
Because of the cash reward, even Qi Delong started to work hard. Xizi called him out to set off firecrackers, and he directly gave his small whip to Xizi: "You play by yourself, I'm going to work hard."
His father Qi Kexiu was not so hard-working when writing novels, and now he is still stuck in "A long, long time ago" and hasn't thought of the second sentence.
On New Year's Eve, in front of the grave, Wei Ming, as the eldest son of the family, and his father and Uncle Ping'an visited the grave, letting Wei Jiefang tell the ancestors about his son's achievements in the past year.
"Grandpa, Dad, Xiao Ming also said he would write a novel for you! I will burn it for you to see after it is published."
"Oh," Wei Ping'an wondered, "Xiao Ming, is this your new work direction?"
Wei Ming nodded: "Well, I want to write about the history of the period of KMT-CCP cooperation and confrontation, and this will be my first long novel."
(There should be another chapter, double for the last two hours, ask for monthly tickets! Let me see if I can update three times! If not, spit!)
