Chapter 538
"Hello, who is it?" A man answered the phone.

Xie Linlang asked politely: "Hi, this is the village phone number, I'm Xie Linlang, I want to find Feng—"

"Eh, eh? Did I hear you right? Sister Xie, that is, the one on the island, the one who came to our village and gave us tens of dollars to support our elementary school." The other party was obviously a little incoherent, it seemed Be excited.

Xie Linlang waited for this person to finish his excitement, and asked tentatively, "Feng Zhuang?"

"Yes, yes, it's me. I didn't expect you to remember me. How are you doing recently?" Feng Zhuang held the hand of the microphone tightly.

He hadn't contacted her for many years, and he always remembered the kind-hearted elder sister who gave them primary school funding and gave him a lot of help money.

He relied on the money to keep the elementary school going.

Up to now, he has replaced the former old teacher as the principal of their village primary school, taking care of all the big and small things in the school.

"I really didn't expect to be able to contact you again." Feng Zhuang said with emotion after telling his recent situation.

Xie Linlang also said that it was rare for him to remember himself after such a long time.

"How can I not remember, you are one of the few good people I've ever met in Reli." Feng Zhuang's voice was rougher, like a man who was going to be three years old, but his tone still carried the shadow of that young man back then.

The two didn't talk for too long, that is, Xie Linlang knew about Principal Feng Zhuangcheng, and the changes in their side have not been small, and the days are getting better and better.

Xie Linlang said the purpose of her call. Originally, she wanted to find him and that old man Wang to run a jewelry store here. Unexpectedly, he became the principal, so the only person who could ask him was old man Wang.

Mentioning the old gentleman, Feng Zhuang's voice dropped for a moment. "It would be great if you could pick up the old man. His wife passed away in the second half of last year. I visited him a few times. Anyway, he looked very down and out, like a walking dead. He just relied on the agreement with you. There are pearls."

"Ah? How did this happen?" The news was not good at all. Xie Linlang was silent for a moment, and told Feng Zhuang that he would go there soon and we would meet again at that time.

Feng Zhuang agreed, and warmly invited Xie Linlang to visit their village.

Xie Linlang's original intention was to hope that Feng Zhuang would bring Mr. Wang's family over. Since Mr. Wang's wife is gone, it's not easy for him to make a phone call, so it might be better to go there to pick it up in person.

And it seems more respectful.

She is in charge of the overall situation of the trade fair, but it is not a small matter that needs to be done by herself, so as long as she handed over a reason to go to the island to pick up an old man with disabilities to bring pearls to participate in the exhibition, Wang Chaoyang would be very happy to give a fake Refreshingly, I gave it for eight days.

Five days are on the way, and there are two or three days left for her to use flexibly.

Xie Linlang set off with light clothes. After all, it will be summer all over the country, so there is no need to add or remove clothes.

I went to the small town near the island smoothly, and then transferred to the supply and marketing cooperative.

After getting off the bus, there seems to be no major change in the infrastructure at the destination, except that the road is a little flatter, and the people doing business on the shore are no longer secretive, but are very enthusiastic about selling.

Back then, the business here was relatively unrestricted, and now it is even more lively and prosperous.

She borrowed the phone number of the supply and marketing cooperative to write to Feng Zhuang, and the other party came to pick him up in a tractor soon.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xie, there is only one big truck in our village, and I'm not in the village this time, so I can only wrong you."

Judging by Sister Xie's attire and imposing manner, it is estimated that she has either been promoted or made a fortune again, so he just said more.

"They are all people who come from a hard background, where are there so many lies, let's go." He jumped on the tractor in one fell swoop, and he stretched out his hand very neatly.

Just last year, Xie Linlang was a toiling clerk running all over the countryside. I haven’t seen any scenes in the countryside. I have lived and worked in a pig pen, sheep pen and cattle pen. The smell of the tractor and the trembling It's just a means of transportation, it's not stressful or embarrassing.

When they arrived in the village, Feng Zhuang first invited her to the elementary school for a cup of tea, and then took her to see what the elementary school looked like now.

The concrete floor, the desks and benches where three people sit in a row, the lacquered blackboard fixed to the wall, and the broken pieces of chalk on the desk are all full of strong country style.

During recess, the children looked curiously at the aunt next to the principal, wondering if this was the new teacher.

This teacher is dressed in a foreign style, just like a cadre, and is also beautiful. I don't know what kind of teacher he is teaching.

"Hello, teacher." There was a brave boy who stepped forward and called out.

Xie Linlang also greeted them. After a while, these children had to go to class, and they kept looking at Xie Linlang before returning to the classroom.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xie, children, it's so unruly."

"They're all children, and they didn't cause me any trouble. By the way, I don't think your school has a library." Her daughter Shen Nianlin's school has a special library, from children's books to fables to literary works. The children's version is complete.

Feng Zhuang scratched his head: "Where do you have the money to buy books to read? These children still don't have all the textbooks."

"Look at me, why are you talking about this? By the way, the school also visited. If you are anxious to see Mr. Wang, I will take you there right away." Feng Zhuang just wanted to ask Xie Linlang to have a look. After persisting for a year or two, we received the subsidy from above, so we persevered and did not close the door, and the children did not need to detour to study elsewhere at a young age.

I have no other thoughts.

Xie Linlang could tell who Feng Zhuang was, but he didn't have this thought, but he thought about it and wanted to donate some books to the children: "Don't worry about books, I'll collect some books later. Just one click."

"No, this is too much trouble for you—"

"Let's not talk about it, we will discuss the details later, let's go to Mr. Wang first." The two went to see Mr. Wang.

When Xie Linlang used the phone number of the supply and marketing agency to contact Feng Zhuang, she bought some canned snacks and other gifts suitable for visiting people.

After entering the door, he put it on the table. Mr. Wang is not physically damaged, but his spirit is very decadent.

Hearing that Xie Linlang still wanted to recruit an old man like him to work as a manager in her shop, she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "I was just about to contact you, and I want to say that I don't know how long I can hold on. You can find someone to come to you for this line." Take my place, never thought you would come in person."

Xie Linlang chatted with him about the changes in the outside world. Regarding the departure of his boss, Xie Linlang had no weapon to avoid or use his death as a consolation weapon. He simply asked him if he would like to manage the store with him. If the store is profitable , the store can completely provide for him in the future.

Maybe this touched Mr. Wang, he said: "It's not necessary to provide for the elderly. I don't need much money as an old man. The money I save is enough for me to spend in the next few years. It's just in case I encounter something bad. The person is gone, if you can find someone to send me back, I will remember your kindness."

Xie Linlang naturally agreed, and told the other party not to be too pessimistic about her body, and said: "I have finished the storefront, and I am waiting for the shopkeeper to go in and take control of it, but before opening the store, the two of us We have to count things together."

Then we talked about the trade fair.

After hearing this, Mr. Wang said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the outside world has developed to this level. Not only can we do business, but we can also hold such activities. Isn't this encouraging everyone to do business?"

In the past two years, there were still people who were arrested for doing business, so it changed so quickly.

"Yes, people's lives are better now, and everyone is focusing on the economy. The rise of the economy also increases the demand for employment and promotes the development of rigid needs. They are all indispensable links in the progress of our Huaguo. If you are willing, old man, Just pack up your usual things. For Pearl Source here, you can find a reliable person to act as an agent for a while, and I will match you with a few young people in Siya later. It’s also possible to come here for handover.”

Xie Linlang was so sincere, what else could Mr. Wang say, he decided to go to Siya with Xie Linlang.

As for the work here, he has someone to choose: "I originally thought that even if this old bone couldn't do it, I couldn't give you a pick at once, so I hired an honest kid here. He is sixteen this year. I have been with me for more than half a year, and I have taught everything that can be taught, and he can take over my job, just right, I am going to your side, and he can take over here, so we don't have to rush to find someone to take over."

If there are ready-made manpower, it is natural to use the ready-made manpower. Xie Linlang can trust a responsible person like Mr. Wang.

Then I met the child named Wenhai, everyone called him Haizi.

"Speaking of it, he is also a poor child. He has six fingers on one hand and four fingers on the other. He was bullied when he was in school, and he was looked down upon even if he wanted to go out to find a job. He was ignored by his family. I picked it up and raised it for half a year." Mr. Wang asked Haizi to say hello: "This is your aunt Xie, she is capable, your Grandpa Wang, I am going to go out with her, and you will be in charge of the affairs here from now on, you Aunt Xie will teach you what to do next, come to say hello, be polite."

Haizi was very shy, it should be said that he was very introverted, so he followed Mr. Wang's wishes and called Auntie Xie.

Xie Linlang nodded: "He's an honest boy, he's sixteen this year?"

"Ah."

After finishing this sentence, I have nothing to say, to be honest, to be honest.

Xie Linlang asked him about his family situation, knowing that his family is now exiled.

Earlier, his family members came to Mr. Wang to ask if there was any salary. Mr. Wang said that he only cared about food and lodging, so his family seldom came. It was confirmed that Haizi did not wear good clothes and eat well, just ordinary food and clothing. Come less.

It seems that he is a child who grew up in a superb family, and he is also very honest.

This made Xie Linlang unable to completely rest assured. After all, if a child with such a configuration improves his life, he will attract bloodthirsty mosquitoes and bite him all over his head.

Xie Linlang saw that Feng Zhuang felt sorry for the child from the corner of her eye, and a thought came to her.

She avoided the child and Mr. Wang, and talked to Feng Zhuang alone.

"I'm going to cut to the chase, and I'm asking you for a favor." Xie Linlang said, "This kid will be my employee from now on. I stupidly wanted to improve his life, but you heard it just now, the kid's family, right? , it’s not a good thing, because the child doesn’t care if there is something wrong with him, and when he finds that the child has work to do, he wants to come to the door to suck blood.

If this kind of family knows that Haizi has a formal job, they should not flock to him. It will definitely affect my pearl at that time. I don’t want to see this poor young man. I just think about it, please help take care of him It’s enough to take care of his living needs, but it’s not complicated, just come and see him occasionally, and give him some food so that he doesn’t get cold and hungry.
If possible, you can take care of his life, and I will send a batch of books to the school for free in the future, as a thank you, how about it. "

"Hey, I'm willing to help with this little favor. As for the book, we also want it." After all, Feng Zhuang became the principal, and he asked for resources from time to time, and refused Xie Linlang's promise because he was cheeky. If you agree, the children will have new books to read every semester.

Xie Linlang didn't mean to say nice words, but really wanted to donate, and the two reached an agreement happily.

"I give him a living allowance of 20 yuan every month. If he is sick or has other needs, you can call my home phone number and tell me. I will give you both my work and home phone numbers."

"Okay, sister Xie, that's the deal. When are you going to the station? I'll take you there, or you'll have to spend a few bucks on the bus fare."

"It's okay, it's more convenient for us to wait for the car by ourselves. After all, the tractor is Murakami's property. People always want to talk about you. I will stay in the guest house tonight and leave tomorrow. Let's call later."

"Okay, but let's have a light meal at my house tonight. Let's see you off." The next time we meet, I don't know when it will be.

"Look." Xie Linlang looked at Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang nodded. She took advantage of the opportunity and said that we should have a meal together, and called Haizi to recognize him.

At the dinner table, Haizi knew that Grandpa Wang was going to travel far away, and was thinking about finding a regular job for himself, so tears fell down his face.

Honest people even cry so honestly, there is no sound at all.

"Okay, let's not cry, we will live a good life in the future, you, Brother Feng, will take care of your daily necessities in the future, if you need anything, you can find your Brother Feng Zhuang, but remember, if you call me Knowing that you are going to subsidize your family members, it is not worthy of my distress, and I don't want to take care of you, Grandpa Wang."

Haizi nodded again and again, promising that he would take good care of himself: "Brother Feng Zhuang buys me food, and I will hide it and eat it myself. I will never give anyone else a grain of rice."

This is already the most ruthless guarantee he can make.

This made Mr. Wang relieved a lot.

Early the next morning, Mr. Wang followed Xie Linlang, got on the bus, went to the town, and from the town, took the train to Siya.
