Chapter 420 Proposal to build a school

Li Beiwu was not shy and asked for a hug.

Several old guys in the village couldn't help teasing her.

"Li Chen said he had something to talk to you about."

Behind Li Chen, Li Xifeng and Li Nanfei followed in.

Li Wende hurriedly said, "Sit down."

As Li Chen was about to sit down, Li Wende pushed him away, "Didn't I tell you, Xiaofei, sit down, your name is Xiaofeng, right? I heard your grandfather say that you are the beauty of your family."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Li Xifeng's face was flushed. She was a little shy when she was praised in public.

Thinking of the manners of the ladies that she was forced to learn by her mother, Li Xifeng wanted to show them off.

However, she didn't remember much, and she was so shy no matter how she sat.

"Haha... your grandfather also said that you are lively, I don't think so, this is a real lady." Li Wende laughed.

Everyone nodded.

Li Chen: "..."

Are all old men now so realistic?

After having a child, do you all dislike the older ones?

Li Wende teased Li Beiwu and then said, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, it's like this. I see that there is not even a school in our village now. How about we build a school?" Li Chen asked.

"We were just discussing this matter. We had no choice before because we were poor. Now that everyone is rich, we can't do this anymore." Li Wende sat down and said, "But, the construction of this school is a big project. Our village..."

Now everyone is much more harmonious, and the key is that they still give him face.

They are willing to donate money and are not stingy.

But the problem is that the construction of the school is only preliminary.

In the future, a large amount of materials, tables and chairs, etc. will be needed, and teachers will have to be hired after the construction.

Once this is really done, it will be a sky-high price.

Now unless the state funds the construction, how is this possible?

The original school can no longer be run, which means that this public school has been eliminated.

After hearing this, Li Chen said, "School is a must. Our village is different from other villages. Since we have money, why not build a school? I will find a way to deal with the rest, but the progress of the school construction in the future will require everyone to supervise. I am a little busy here."

Li Wende and many village cadres looked at each other and immediately said, "We don't agree with this."

"Why?" Li Chen was shocked.

"The school is not your business alone. It is also thanks to you that everyone can live better now than before. The people in our Lijia Village are also afraid of poverty and understand the significance of studying more clearly."

"If all these things are borne by you alone, then we will become freeloaders, right?"

Li Wende and others shook their heads. Although it is a good thing that they don't have to pay for it.

But what if the children go to school here in the future?

Will they be told in the future that this was all built by Li Chen and everyone didn't contribute?

They can't do such a thing.

Li Chen was stunned. He never expected that the village would change so much now.

At first, most people were very stubborn and regarded money as extremely important.

But now, with the improvement of conditions and the gradual development of the village, it seems that everyone is changing their mindset.

"Well, I will send a notice to ask everyone to come over. Building a school is not a one-person job. If you are willing, you can donate a little, but it cannot be just you."

Li Chen: "..."

"Li Chen, we all appreciate your kindness, but if you invest together, everyone will love it from the bottom of their hearts. If it is not yours, you will not feel sorry. Don't you understand?" An old cadre reminded.

"Li Chen has learned a lesson." Li Chen nodded and said, "How about this?"

"I will pay for all the expenses of the school construction, and everyone will contribute money for desks, including chalk used by teachers, etc. These are also long-term expenses. How about it?"

Li Wende frowned slightly, and Li Chen still took the lion's share.

"Well, I will call and ask someone to come and calculate, and everyone will know." Li Chen spoke again, and then called Yan Liangjun.

Fortunately, they were all in the village. When Yan Liangjun and the design team came over, most of the villagers also came.

Now is the busy farming season, and everyone knows that if it is not a very important matter, the village chief will probably just use the radio to notify it.

Outside the village office, there are already many people sitting.

Li Wende also sat outside with a group of old cadres, and everyone was chattering.

In the crowd, Zhou Jiang waved excitedly when he saw Li Chen.

Li Chen smiled and nodded. The former bully has now become a good man in the village. It is a bit dramatic.

"Hey!"

Li Wende picked up the loudspeaker, and the people below immediately quieted down.

"Today, I invite everyone to come here mainly to say one thing, to build a school! Everyone knows about this, but Li Chen found me today and he hopes that he will donate most of the money. As for everyone, you can do what you can. I want to ask for your opinions."

As the old village chief finished speaking, the people below had different expressions and started to discuss.

People in Lijia Village are more face-conscious.

Some people like to take advantage of others.

But most people have a bottom line.

Building schools for children to study is not just for this generation, but also for the next generation and the next generation!

This is a long-term thing.

Therefore, no one who donates money to build a school wants to have a bad reputation that future generations will never be able to look up to.

"Village chief, we can also donate money."

"Yes, it's just because of donating too much and donating too little. Li Chen doesn't have to bear it all by himself."

"We can all donate, and no one will refuse to donate."

There was a lot of noise.

Li Wende pressed his hands and said: "I just asked someone to make a preliminary estimate. Our village will only build a kindergarten and a primary school, and the approximate budget is about six to seven million! This is only the preliminary construction, and later decorations and so on are not included. "

"What Li Chen means is that he is responsible for the big head and everyone is responsible for the small head!"

The quarrel started again.

After all, this cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

Li Chen directly signaled the old village chief to give him the trumpet, and said to everyone: "I know what everyone means. Building the school is also my heart, Li Chen, and it can be regarded as my debt to everyone before. Let's not waste time. If We have decided that I will find someone to rebuild it on the old site today. It is only the beginning of July anyway, so two months is enough time to build it!"

"Since everyone is willing, I, Li Chen, won't stop me. Everyone will use anonymous fundraising methods. I will make up the remaining difference, how about it?"
