Chapter 205 Jealousy numb
The weather is getting colder and colder, and with the end of the year approaching, most of the rural people are squatting at home to cat winter.
In the countryside where a tractor is a rarity, I suddenly saw several trucks roaring past, which naturally aroused the great attention of the roadside villages.
The last time such a sensational scene was when Taoxi Village sold watermelons in the middle of the year.
Now these cars... look like they are still going to Taoxi Village?
The person who was so idle that mushrooms grew on his head immediately regained his spirits.
Chinese New Year is coming soon, there is nothing to sell in the field, what are these cars for?
What happened to Taoxi Village?
After barely holding back for two days, I couldn't bear the curiosity, so some people went to Taoxi Village to inquire in person.
What I saw in the end was the brand-new auditorium next to the grain drying yard.
The once dilapidated and desolate are gone.
The auditorium should be refurbished. It covers an area of nearly 600 square meters and has a high-roofed building.
Book—Qiqi Library.
!
library? !
They only heard about this stuff in rumors, and what they knew about books in the past was only limited to the Xinhua Bookstore in the town. Where had they seen such a thing as a library?
It's all here, and it's not too late to take a look inside.
As soon as they walked into the front auditorium and now the library, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.
The walls are full of books!
The quaint bookshelf in the original color of the log is as high as two adults.
On the outer edge of the bookshelf, in order to facilitate access to high books, a solid wooden staircase is specially built, which looks high-end.
The school is already on winter vacation, and the long desks in the middle of the library are full of children of different ages, some are reading, some are tracing, some are doodling, and some are doing winter vacation homework! All are immersed in fascination.
There are even quite a few villagers wearing big coats and carrying fire cages, who are crowded around the desks even when they are old, with some books in their hands, and they are reading with gusto.
The library is very quiet, except for the exclamation of these outsiders, there is no other noise.
"Shhh! Don't make noise here, don't disturb the kids reading." Everyone was in a daze, and an old man with white hair came over.
The old man was about seventy years old, wearing a rustic dark blue jacket, holding a small bamboo fire cage in his hand, and looked like an ordinary country old man with his sleeves folded.
But the old man has a reading glasses on his nose... somehow gives people the feeling that the teacher is admonishing the students.
The seven or eight elders standing at the entrance of the library immediately straightened their backs and dared not move, and even their mouths were tightly shut.
The old man seemed satisfied with their obedience, and said in a soft voice, "Aren't you from Taoxi Village, are you from another village? Do you want to read too? It's fine to read. Take the book and find a place to sit and read by yourself. There is only one point, and you can't make any noise. Noisy, don't talk loudly, don't disturb others."
"We are not from Taoxi Village, so we can read here?" Someone also lowered his voice and asked in surprise.
Mr. Fu glanced at the person who spoke, and suddenly said, "I remember you, you weren't the one who came back to the village to help poop... that who?"
Who is that Wang Jianzhong, "..."
He became more and more famous in Taoxi Village, but he didn't want this kind of fame.
He was one of the people who had barely suppressed his curiosity for two days and hid in the crowd to spy.
"Those two over there, Chen Jianhe and his daughter are also reading?" Wang Jianzhong changed the topic with a dark face, his eyes scanned around, and besides Chen Jianhe and his father and daughter, he also spotted old acquaintances in the corner, "Even your old village chief exist?"
"Jian and his daughter want to plant fruit trees. Why don't they study fruit tree planting techniques together?"
"What about the old village chief? What did he learn?"
"Oh, he's watching Outlaws of the Marsh."
"..."
Feeling that the old man next to him seems to be very talkative, Wang Jianxin moved his head, "Big brother, in such a big auditorium, the books just placed will cost a lot of money, right? How much money did your village make this year? How dare you spend so much money?"
When Mr. Fu heard this, he immediately thought of a bad guy far away in the capital, put away his smile and hummed, "What a big deal, this little money is just a drop in the bucket!"
If he had known that Yanhuai's renovated auditorium was used as a library, he would have hit him hard, and would have searched for all the rare Chinese and foreign classics!
You can't kill him, hum!
A hurricane broke out in the Wang Jian Center.
A drop in the bucket? !
He knows everything about Taoxi Village very clearly. With the money earned from those watermelons alone, he can never boast such a sea!
Is there something he doesn't know about it, that Taoxi Village has made a fortune behind the back of people?
Thinking of this, Wang Jianzhong was so envious when he looked at the magnificent library that didn't even exist in the county.
When he found that the old man looked at him strangely, he could cover it up with a smile, and casually diverted the strangeness, "Big brother, there are a lot of weird things in the corner over there. They are all big guys. Why are they used?"
Wang Jianzhong pointed to the small amusement park in the corner opposite the bookshelf and asked.
Those weird things, he just recognizes a swing.
Old Fu smiled and said, "Oh, that's a place for the children in the village to play."
"Then over here...is this a consignment store?!" Wang Jianzhong couldn't help but exclaimed again.
I was attracted by those books just now, and now I discovered that there is a corner of the huge library, and a space has been set up, with the same glass counter as in the supply and marketing cooperative!
The products placed on the counter... There are pencils, erasers, homework, rulers, etc. stationery, as well as daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, toothpaste, toothbrush, etc. There is even soap, soap, and shampoo in the bottom row? !
There is a row of glass jars on the counter, containing white rabbit toffee, open jujube, gourd soda, colorful jelly...
In addition, the most eye-catching thing is the large blackboard hanging on the wall behind the counter, and there are still elementary school math formulas on it...
The old man glanced over the big blackboard, and a smile appeared on the old face again, "I opened this consignment store. Usually, children lack pens and homework books, so they can buy them nearby. As for other things, they are sold by the way."
"The blackboard?"
"I use it. I used to be a teacher in school, but now I'm retired and I'm idle. When I have free time, I give tutoring and tutoring to children."
"You, which school teacher were you before?"
"Teaching at Huicheng University, it's not worth mentioning, hehehe."
Wang Jianzhong was numb.
If this was in his Xizhong Village, he would have confessed to the old man!
In the blink of an eye, Wang Jianzhong heard the baby's baby voice, "Grandpa, Qiqi has finished her homework. Grandpa gave Qiqi a mark."
Wang Jianzhong looked down, and saw that the glutinous rice dumpling with two small thongs was pulling the corner of the old man's clothes. Could it be the little kid named Qiqi?
Great grandfather?
...Why is it related to her again!
