Chapter 1261

On this day, the Yu siblings, Yu Ruizhi and Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu, came to Pengjiawan Township. They were here to inspect their leather goods factory.

After arriving at Pengjiawan Township, Yu Ruizhi went to the township government to call Su Xinghui out for a drink. At that time, Su Xinghui was inspecting the river embankment, preparing for the rebuilding work. Yu Ruizhi then waited for Su Xinghui in the Party and Government Office.

Liu Yongjun said he would page Su Xinghui, but Yu Ruizhi told him not to, saying Su Xinghui was doing proper work on the embankment and he would just wait for him to return.

When it was almost dark, Su Xinghui returned to the township government. Seeing Yu Ruizhi, he said with surprise and joy, "Brother Yu, you're back?"

Yu Ruizhi nodded and said, "Yes, I just returned today."

Liu Yongjun said, "General Manager Yu has been waiting for you in the Party and Government Office for over an hour."

Su Xinghui said, "Brother Yu, why didn't you page me?"

Yu Ruizhi smiled and said, "You are doing proper work, and I am just looking for you for a drink. What does waiting for you for a while matter?"

Su Xinghui laughed loudly and said, "Want to find me for a drink? Fine, let's go. I'll wash my face and we'll go."

The two came to that Huaiyang restaurant and entered a private room. They saw Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu sitting there holding a book and reading. Su Xinghui said, "Sister Sister Ruoqiu, I've kept you waiting for a long time!"

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu put down the book and smiled beautifully, "It's nothing. I was so absorbed in reading that I didn't even know what time it was."

Su Xinghui looked at the book and saw it was "Ordinary World." He asked, "Do you like reading this book too?"

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu nodded and said, "I've read it several times, but I still can't get tired of it."

Su Xinghui said, "This is indeed a good book."

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu let the waiter who followed them in serve the dishes and then said to Su Xinghui, "It was precisely because I read this book that I knew how difficult life in the countryside was, and how meritorious the things you did in Shangjun County were!"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you praising me so much today? It makes me feel flattered."

Yu Ruizhi said, "We just came from my grandfather's hometown today. It's too poor there, which gave Sister Sister Ruoqiu some feelings."

Su Xinghui said, "Oh, you came from General County?"

Yu Ruizhi nodded and said, "Yes, we stayed there for over a month this time."

Su Xinghui said, "Why stay so long?"

Yu Ruizhi said, "Sister Sister Ruoqiu donated a mountain primary school there. This time we were there to sign a contract with the local government, then found a construction team ourselves, and stared at it for over a month. From now on, we have to go once a month to see the progress and ensure the quality."

Su Xinghui said with surprise, "This is truly a meritorious thing!"

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu said, "It's not worth calling meritorious. After all, it's grandfather's hometown, an old revolutionary base area. But the people in the old base area are living too difficultly. Many children can't afford to go to school. Helping them build a primary school so that those children who can't afford to go to school can go to school can be considered helping grandfather fulfill some of his wishes."

Yu Ruizhi shook his head and sighed, "For these years, grandfather has always wanted to go home to see, but we all stopped him, saying we were afraid grandfather's body couldn't take it. In fact, we were afraid that if grandfather returned home and saw that the people in his hometown were still living such bitter lives, he would be angry."

Su Xinghui asked, "Then how much does it cost to donate a primary school?"

Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu said, "It costs about 200,000 to build. But we also have to be responsible for the children's books and living expenses, which costs about tens of thousands of yuan a year. In the future, we plan to donate at least one primary school a year. When we make big money later, we will donate several more in such poor mountain areas a year."
