The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 142 Cai Mingkang's Feelings
There is already a scent coming out of the small restaurant, which is very attractive.

Suddenly feel hungry.

Cai Mingkang and the driver searched for the scent and entered the small restaurant.

There were quite a few people inside, but most of them ate a bowl of noodles or steamed buns with porridge, and few people ate stir-fried dishes.

These villagers who came to the market were already very willing to eat a bowl of noodles. Some walked tens of miles back hungry after the market, and some had to wait until the afternoon hungry before closing the stall and going back to eat.

Cai Mingkang had such an experience, and it was the same when he went from the village to the town to go to the market.

Several times he wanted to eat a bowl of noodles or buy two steamed buns to taste, but when he thought about the oil, salt and fertilizer waiting at home, he held back and rushed home hungry.

The proprietress saw that Cai Mingkang and the others were facing each other, and it was a foreign visitor who hurriedly greeted them enthusiastically.

"What do the two guests want to eat? We have home-cooked stir-fry here, as well as noodles, porridge and steamed buns."

"Fry a twice-cooked pork, and then have homemade tofu."

"Okay, the boss knows how to order. Would you like some wine?"

The proprietress is also very talkative.

"No alcohol, just two bowls of dry rice."

"Yes, wait for a while."

The proprietress turned and went into the kitchen.

"Mr. Cai, this proprietress is really interesting. How did she say you know how to order?"

"Twice-cooked meat has a lot of oil. Homemade tofu is the most hungry. I don't know if I summed up this."

"Oh, that's right."

For those who have been hungry, they will not order those melons and vegetables without oil and water, but order oily ones, which will satisfy their hunger and hunger.

Cai Mingkang: "Although we are no longer hungry now, I still have to order according to the good order every time I come out."

Yes, although there is no shortage of that food now, Cai Mingkang's thoughts have not changed.

After lunch, the two went to the teahouse next door and ordered two bowls of tea. They drank slowly, listening to the people around them posing in local dialect.Talk about the gossip of the parents, and talk about the new things that happened in the ten miles and eight towns.

Very laid back.

But after listening and listening, I didn't hear anyone talking about Pueraria lobata, let alone about building a factory in the village.

After sitting in the teahouse until they drank all the tea, the two wandered around the street again, almost everyone on the street had left, and some shops were closed at the upper doors.

The street already looked deserted.

Cai Mingkang didn't bother to go shopping anymore: "Let's go back to Qingfeng Village."

Even if you want to leave, you have to say hello to Mr. Zhu, not to mention he still has doubts in his heart.

As soon as the car stopped at the gate of the village committee, Li Jinfeng greeted him.

"Oh, Boss Cai is back, where did you go today?"

"I've been to many places, where is Mr. Zhu?"

Cai Mingkang looked at the time, school should be over by this time.

Li Jinfeng: "Teacher Zhu is at Poshang School. If he's not in the office, he's at Yaoma's house."

Cai Mingkang: "I'll go up and find her."

After winking at the driver again, the driver Xiao Tang comprehended and followed the previous agreement, slowly walked into the carpenter's shed, and started a routine with a group of carpenters.

Cai Mingkang went to the school on the slope alone.

Sure enough, Zhu Xia was still in the office.

Besides her there are Liu Li and Liu Jianguo.

They are still discussing some issues.

I haven't come home after school, it's really hard.

Cai Mingkang felt that he should not have any resentment towards Mr. Zhu.

Cai Mingkang stood outside without saying a word.

Liu Li, who was facing the door, spotted him: "Boss Cai, you are back. Teacher Zhu, Boss Cai is here."

Zhu Xia: "Old Cai, you're back. Wait for me, you'll be fine soon."

Liu Jianguo also nodded to greet him.

Cai Mingkang: "It's okay, you guys are busy first, I'll go around."

After speaking, he walked over to the classroom.

Looking at the dilapidated classrooms and the uneven desks inside, Cai Mingkang remembered that when he was studying... the conditions were even worse than this.

But now, the conditions are better.

Their Gegen Food Factory funded the construction of a Hope Primary School in the township. The children have already gone to the new school in the township, and they can live in the school without having to go back and forth.

Walk through the classroom and into the woods behind the classroom.

He also found some words engraved on the tree, what to study hard and make progress every day, what to plant trees and afforest the motherland,

Also, I want to go to university, I want to be a worker, I want to be a soldier...

Wang Erwa is a bad guy, I won't play with him anymore... and so on.

These are the marks of the times.

And after batches of students' hands repeatedly portrayed, the handwriting is very clear.

Cai Mingkang looked at it and smiled. There was no sense of strangeness to all this, but a sense of familiarity and intimacy.

Wasn't it like that at that time, I walked around in the woods with my friends, and I also carved words on the trees, and once carved their ideals and wishes on the trees.

Once I had a fight with a friend, and I rushed into the woods in a fit of anger, and carved on the tree, so-and-so, I hate you, and I will never talk to you anymore... I vented on the tree.

After getting along with my friends, I quietly went to paint those calligraphy and paintings until I couldn't see any problems.

Hehe, it's funny to think about it now.

"Old Cai, what are you looking at, it makes you laugh."

At some point, Zhu Xia came up behind him and asked.

"Looking at the words on it is very interesting. It reminds me of when I was studying."

Zhu Xia: "I can't laugh. Thinking about how the school decades ago is still like this, I feel bad."

Cai Mingkang nodded, or if you are a teacher, you will always see things farther than I do. I just thought of the fun of childhood, and... I am ashamed...

Zhu Xia: "What about the school in your hometown? It must have changed, right?"

Zhu Xia has been to Cai Mingkang's village, and also to the village school there. She knows that the situation there was many years ago, and it must have changed a lot now.

Cai Mingkang said proudly: "There are great changes. The children are all going to school in the countryside. The newly built school is funded by our factory... That's exciting. The teaching building, the playground, and the students wear uniforms. ...is exactly the same as in the city."

"Well, the development of the economy has led to the development of education... This is how we should give back to the society."

Cai Mingkang: "Qingfeng Village will also change."

Zhu Xia: "This is exactly our ideal."

Few people talk to him about ideals now.

Cai Mingkang: "Mr. Zhu, if you hadn't helped us back then, we wouldn't be where we are today..."

Zhu Xia: "You're wrong to think that way. I personally don't have such ability. Without me, Zhu Xia, you would have met other people——Liu Xia, Wang Xia...you have caught up with the good times, no , We have all caught up with the good times, the so-called favorable time, place and people are nothing more than that."

"Mr. Zhu, you are too modest. Anyway, I remember your feelings. To tell you the truth, I wanted to help you this time."
