Taoyuan little fisherman

Chapter 599
"I heard that many parents of children came to me to inquire about the formalities. I am going to report to him. If not, I have to change my household registration. This is very troublesome." The village chief sighed.

"The child's going to school is not only a hassle for changing the household registration, but also affects the economic development of the village." Wang Tianhui said.

"Ah? What does this have to do with the economic development of the village?" Yang Shouwang laughed.

"Of course it has something to do with it. Think about it. If the child goes to school in the city, someone at home must accompany him to study? Our village is full of self-employed businesses. If there is only one person to accompany the child when the family goes out, then there must be one person at home. Too busy, and the long-term separation of the husband and wife is not conducive to family stability, which is harmful but not beneficial." Wang Tianhui said.

Yang Shouwang slapped his forehead, "Tianhui, what you said makes sense, it is indeed such a thing, then... then what should we do? The child's schooling must not be delayed!"

"Village head, let's start the primary school in the village again. Now our village has also developed, and all the villagers who worked outside have returned to the city. There are many children in the village, and it is not convenient for them to go to school outside. It is better to live in the village. Going to school is good for the family and the economic development of the village." Wang Tianhui suggested.

Yang Shouwang nodded, "This is a way. Then I have to count how many children there are in the village, and then report to the education department for approval. Then we can reopen the school after completing the formalities."

"How long are these procedures?" Wang Tianhui asked.

Yang Shouwang thought for a while and said, "It should be soon. After all, there used to be a primary school in Yujia Village. At that time, what I reported was suspension of operation, not cancellation, so it's enough to resume it. Go through the procedures, about a day or two."

"That's ok, village chief, then I would trouble you to implement these procedures as soon as possible. We can't let the villagers toss anymore. The impact is too great. Yesterday, many homestays and private houses were closed, and many tourists slept. In the car." Wang Tianhui said.

"Ah? It's so serious, then I'll take care of it right away!" Yang Shouwang hurriedly packed his briefcase, put on his blue cloth hat that had been washed white, and planned to leave.

"By the way, Tianhui, it's not enough just to have the formalities. Where can I find the teacher? How about I ask the education department by the way, can they send us some teachers? I don't know if the primary school teachers in the town have arranged for them. Get out, we agreed earlier, it might be a bit late now." Yang Shouwang sighed.

"I have settled the matter of the teacher. You just need to complete the formalities, village chief. I will go to the elementary school to have a look."

Wang Tianhui also wants to visit the primary schools that have been closed for ten years to see if those teaching buildings can still be used.

"Alright then, I'll go to town now, and I'll leave the rest to you Tianhui."

"okay!"

Coming out of the village, Wang Tianhui walked straight to the north of the village. On the northernmost side of the village, across a large field of farmland, he saw a large courtyard built with red brick walls.

The red brick wall has been dilapidated by the sun and rain, and the slogan on it has been blurred.

The big iron gate of the school was rusted and deformed. With a light push, the hinges snapped and the big iron gate fell to one side.

The school was overgrown with wild grass, and a tall national flag pole stood in front of a row of teaching buildings, but it was bare, and the five-star red flag had long since disappeared.

I haven't been here for more than ten years. The once huge playground has become very small in the eyes of an adult Wang Tianhui, and the schoolhouses are very low and stylish. Compared with the prosperity of the village, it is very lonely.

Standing on the playground, looking up at the bare flagpole, Wang Tianhui seemed to see the bright red national flag fluttering for a moment, and heard the laughter of children playing and the sound of reading aloud from the classroom.

Everything is like going back to my childhood.

"Tianhui, why are you here?" Xu Changshan's voice came from outside the gate.

Wang Tianhui turned his head and saw Xu Changshan passing by carrying a plastic bucket, and looked at him in shock.

"Why did you go?" Wang Tianhui asked back.

"I'm going to dig some sweet potatoes in the field. I passed by and saw the gate opened, so I came over to take a look, and I saw you. Are you nostalgic here?" Xu Changshan said with a smile.

"Changshan, where is Duoduo at home?" Wang Tianhui answered the question again.

Xu Changshan nodded, "Where can I go if I'm not at home? Isn't the elementary school in the town closed? Isn't the kindergarten also closed? It's too troublesome to go to the kindergarten in the city. Let her play at home for a while, and wait for the future." Just go straight to elementary school."

Xu Changshan is also worried about this matter.

"You don't need to go to the city, go to kindergarten in the village." Wang Tianhui said.

Xu Changshan smiled, "Tianhui, are you kidding me? Our village is a big place, and I know where rats make new holes. Where did the kindergarten come from? Why don't I know?"

"That's it!" Wang Tianhui said, pointing to his feet.

Xu Changshan threw the bucket and was about to touch Wang Tianhui's forehead when he came up, but Wang Tianhui dodged away.

"Did you have a fever and talk nonsense? The school was canceled when we were young. Where is the kindergarten?"

Wang Tianhui smiled and said, "It will be there soon."

"Ah?" Xu Changshan looked confused, still feeling that Wang Tianhui was talking nonsense.

"But it will take a few days. The village head will go to the town's education department to approve the slip, and the teacher will not come in a few days. I just came to see if the house is okay."

After finishing speaking, Wang Tianhui walked to the classroom.

What looked like a shabby classroom now, looked like the best house to Wang Tianhui and the others when they were young.

Many houses in the village are adobe houses made of yellow mud mixed with straw, only the brick houses in the village are built with funds from the town, which are spacious and bright.

Fortunately, it is a brick and tile building, so it has not collapsed after being idle for more than ten years.

"seriously?"

Xu Changshan muttered and followed Wang Tianhui in.

Pushing open the classroom door, I dreamed back to the summer of my childhood in an instant.

This class used to be full of children from the village. Because there were fewer teachers and more children, several grades often had classes together.

The youngest child is three or four years old and only cries in class. The oldest is thirteen or fourteen years old. Not only does he have to do homework, but he also has to help the teacher take care of the young children. There are few quiet moments in class.

Now these wooden tables and chairs have been seriously peeled off, and the red brick floor under their feet is also covered with a thick layer of dust.

On the dry and peeling blackboard, there are still words left by the teacher in the last class. The blackboard eraser and chalk stubs are scattered on the podium, which is already damp with green mold.

Only the eight characters of "study hard and make progress every day" are still vivid.

"Oh, time is so fast. In the blink of an eye, my children are all in school." Xu Changshan lamented how time flies.

Wang Tianhui walked around the classroom and found that the desks were still usable except for being dirty and old, and there was no leak in the house, so it was still possible to give emergency aid temporarily.
