Super Orchard

Chapter 137
In a blink of an eye, it was the last day of August, which was also the day before the start of school at Jinquan Primary School.

According to the glorious tradition of Jinquan Primary School over the years, all teachers and students in the school have to go to the school for general cleaning on this day. The highlight of the year.

Jinquan Primary School is located in an underdeveloped village in an underdeveloped area, and the conditions are very average. Except for the main road and the road connecting the classroom entrances, which are cement roads, the rest of the school is all dirt.

After a summer vacation, all kinds of weeds grew on the dirt floor. Although it has only been two months, it looks like it has been abandoned for many years.

The school has already divided the areas responsible for weeding in each class in advance. Xia Yunxuan, as the Chinese teacher and head teacher of the second class of the third year, is busy with dozens of students.

Today's weather has begun to cool down. Although it is still very hot at noon, it is very cool in the morning and evening.

Early in the morning, Shen Yangguang took Dumb and Agua to run around the orchard to exercise as usual. After breakfast, he came to the school and brought two small stools.

Xia Yunxuan was dressed in sportswear and was bending over to pull weeds. Shen Yangguang saw her at a glance, walked over and handed out a small stool and said, "Mr. Xia has worked hard, come and pull weeds on this small stool."

Xia Yunxuan stood up straight, stretched her waist, and said, "I thought pulling weeds was an easy task, and it didn't take long before my back hurt."

Although Xia Yunxuan and other supporting teachers had come to Jinquan Primary School at this time last year, the village organized all staff to support the school and remove the weeds by the way, so this is the first time Xia Yunxuan and others have personally experienced weeding.

Shen Yangguang laughed and said: "I also went to school here more than ten years ago. At that time, we had to pull weeds every year, so I have a deep understanding of this matter. Let me teach you how to save effort."

After speaking, Shen Yangguang sat on a small stool, leaned forward, grabbed the root of a weed and pulled it up, and then continued to pull the nearby weeds without getting up.

After all the weeds in the small area in front of him were cleaned up, Shen Yangguang used the buttocks on the stool as a fulcrum, moved his feet and turned an arc on the ground, and then pulled out new weeds.

While pulling weeds, he said: "Because these weeds need to be pulled up by their roots, it will be very tiring to bend over to pull the weeds. Like me, the waist and back are almost level, and I don't want to pull a piece of grass. Just get up, so that the waist will be more comfortable. It's too much."

Xia Yunxuan also followed Shen Yangguang's example, sitting on a small bench and slowly weeding. After a while, she said pleasantly, "It's really much easier this way!"

"Is that so? If you still pull out the weeds as you did before, even if you try your best to pull out all the weeds, I guess you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

As for the dozens of elementary school students next to them, don't worry, they are either sitting on the ground, or squatting or kneeling, because their bodies are relatively short, so it is not too difficult to almost lie on the ground to work.

The sun gradually rose, the dew on the grass disappeared, and the weeds continued to decrease. After more than two hours, the area in charge of the second class of the third grade was basically cleaned up.

Although Shen Yangguang and Xia Yunxuan sat on the small stools and took a less labor-intensive way to pull weeds, they were still terribly tired.

Standing up with difficulty, Shen Yangguang stretched all his muscles and said: "Just leave the weeds to these children. Let's go to the car and buy some water to drink."

Xia Yunxuan also felt a little thirsty, so she nodded and walked towards the school gate together with Shen Yangguang.

From the back of the school to the front, students and teachers can be seen pulling weeds everywhere along the way. This strenuous work has been done for more than two hours, and everyone has a tired look on their faces.

A man with gray hair was using a pole to pick up two baskets of weeds and transport them out of the school. From the degree of bending of the pole, it can be seen that the weight of these weeds is really heavy.

This is not to say how heavy the fresh grass is, the main thing is that these grasses are uprooted, and there is more or less dirt on them.

Shen Yangguang saw the man's appearance clearly, and hurried up to say hello: "Thank you, principal, hello!" He grabbed the pole while talking.

This person is called Xie Debao, who is the current principal of Jinquan Primary School and the former teacher of Shen Yangguang. After being tired all morning, Xie Debao saw Shen Yangguang clearly, and he stopped insisting and handed over the pole.

Rubbing his shoulders vigorously, Xie Debao said with a little fatigue: "I have taught countless students in my life, and there are very few who come back to contribute money and effort to the school like you. If you hadn't taken the lead last year Money, I’m afraid our school’s conditions are really not good enough for the teachers who came to support us.”

Xia Yunxuan who was following said with a smile: "The principal is really joking. The conditions are already very good. Besides, we are here to teach students, not to enjoy them. We just need to have some food and some lodging."

Xie Debao laughed dryly, shook his head again, and walked out of the school gate side by side with Shen Yangguang.

When he came to an open space full of weeds, Shen Yangguang poured the two baskets of weeds on it and said, "Principal Xie, it's been so many years since I was in elementary school, why hasn't our school opened a school?" What about the concrete floor? And the dirt playground behind, every time it rains, it turns into a muddy ground, and the children can’t even take a physical education class.”

Xie Debao shook his head again, sighed and said: "You know the situation in our county. Although it is not a national-level poverty-stricken county, it is not much worse. Besides, our village is even poorer and poorer. Let alone our Jinquan Primary School Now, even the Central Primary School in the town has a concrete floor, but the playground is still a dirt playground!"

Shen Yangguang knew a little about these situations, and then asked: "How much will it cost if our school is completely covered with concrete floors?"

Xie Debao had also calculated the cost. He had made a report and sent it to the Education Bureau, but was rejected by the superior with the words "no money". Although it has been many years, the approximate cost is still known.

"The current cement floor should not cost more than 100 yuan per square meter. According to the minimum cost, in addition to the current road, we will leave some garden tree pits on the rest of the ground. It must be more than 3000 square meters. , estimated to cost about 50."

Shen Yangguang was worth hundreds of millions at this time. When he heard that the problem could be solved with only 50 yuan, he immediately said, "I want to donate money to help the school build a concrete floor."

Xie Debao has also heard that Shen Yangguang has made a lot of money in the past few years, but he has also heard that he has spent more money in expanding the orchard, so it is impossible to think that there is still 1 in the account of Jinquan Orchard. With more than 5 million yuan in funds, he said in disbelief: "This is not 50 yuan, but more than [-] yuan!"

Shen Yangguang smiled relaxedly: "Principal Xie, don't worry, I can still get this little money, but what is the process of this series of donations and construction?"

Confirming that Shen Yangguang was serious, Xie Debao blushed with excitement, and said again and again: "All of this is on me!"
