These days, the most private discussion among the people on the island is whether Jiang Liu has money and how much money he has.
"Husband, do you think that Jiang Liu is really that rich?"
A middle-aged couple was discussing on the bed at the moment, thinking about the 800,000 yuan that Jiang Liu donated to the primary school. If he had no money, where would he donate the 800,000 yuan? The old principal was highly respected and would never accompany Jiang. Let the kid act.
"And that car, didn't our son say, what kind of Ferrari is it, at least three or four million, if he has no money, can he mess around like this?"
The woman's tone trembled a little, that was three or four million, enough to buy a small villa in Daishan, but Jiang Liu used the money to buy an impractical car, how rich he must be.
"Who knows."
The man didn't dare to make a decision casually at this moment. He felt that what happened today was too evil, like singing.
"If what Jiang Liu said before was not bragging, then he really had dinner with Ma Yun, can you ask Jiang Liu to ask for Ma Yun's autograph, oh my god, I've always admired him, by the way Can you ask Jiang Liu to ask Ma Yun if he can increase the Huabei quota for me? You said that I diligently spend money on Ma Yunmao every month, why is my quota still 1,000, Ma Dahua next door? I don’t use Ma Yunmao much, her Huabei quota is already 1500, and I can’t compare to her.”
The woman pulled her husband's pajamas and asked in surprise.
"Hmph, if what Jiang Liu said before is true, then people are people who do big things. You say people who do big things chat, and you can still take care of your small amount of money. Don't be ashamed."
The man said dissatisfiedly, but if what Jiang Liu said was true, he wanted Jiang Liu to ask Ma Yun if he could block his wife's Ma Yunmao account, so that the poor family members of the province are on top every day. spend money.
"Who do you say is embarrassing, I have worked hard and diligently to manage this home for you all these years, is it easy for me, I'm okay now, you say I'm embarrassing, have you hooked up with some goblin outside, Tell me clearly."
We were still chatting about Jiang Liu well, but the conversation developed into a family war. The topic that revolved around Jiang Liu naturally developed into some trivial things in life before.
But no matter what the process is, the possibility that Jiang Liu might not really be bragging has become the consensus of the whole island.
*****
In early August, Jiang Chongde followed his father to the first Hope Primary School which was completed.
This primary school is located in the mountains of Jiangzhou Autonomous Region, where the mountain road is rugged. Because the traffic has not yet opened, we can only walk into the mountain with both feet. Now there are not many people living on this mountain, hundreds of people. Most of the mountain people are old people and children.
All young and middle-aged people with some ability have gone out to work in the mountains, but because of limited conditions, they can only reluctantly leave their children in the mountains and let the elderly take care of them. Before Jiangliu did not invest in the construction of the primary school, children in several nearby cottages every morning Get up at four and spend three hours walking the mountain road to the nearest school.
It was only after he came here that Jiang Chongde realized that the annual per capita income in some places was less than 1,000 yuan. It turned out that the seven- or eight-year-old brothers and sisters carried their one- or two-year-old younger brothers and sisters to work in the fields, and taking care of the elderly grandparents was also another matter. An unusual thing.
Not long ago, he felt resentment and sadness for his father's irresponsibility, but when he saw these children who had a difficult life but were still optimistic, he realized his inadequacies.
When they came, it happened to be school lunch time.
Because of Jiang Liu's donation, the school can provide these children with lunch for the whole year. These meals are very simple in Jiang Chongde's opinion, but for the children on the mountain, they are indeed a rare delicacy.
Jiang Chongde helped the teachers in the school to serve the meal. Today's lunch is fried pork with lettuce and tomato egg soup. There are not many pieces of meat in the fried pork with lettuce, but the fried egg soup with tomato is rich, and the unique sour taste is quickly secreted.
"Wow, there's meat today!"
The first child in line saw the meat slices in the lettuce fried pork with sharp eyes, and said excitedly to the child behind him, his dark and red face was full of joy and excitement, Jiang Chongde could see his throat swallowing quickly.
It's hard for them to eat meat in normal times.
"This is already very good. Before Mr. Jiang contributed, these children could only bring their own meals to school, because there was no place for hot meals, they could only eat cold rice porridge and steamed buns. Poor, even hungry at noon, go home and have dinner."
Jiang Chongde was cooking with a volunteer who came to teach. She seemed to see Jiang Chongde's dissatisfaction and explained it to the teachers who prepared the love meal.
"In school, because of the love meal funded by Mr. Jiang, they can eat hot meals every day, and they can eat meat once a week, which is a very happy thing for them. To be able to eat enough, to study, to ensure their most basic needs, how to live in the future, relying on their own efforts to fight for it, and providing more meat than meals, this is the best help.”
With that said, a little girl who was studying with her two-year-old brother on her back was lined up in front of the volunteers. She added an extra spoonful of rice to the little girl's bowl, but the added dishes were no more than the other children.
The little girl looked at the extra spoonful of rice in the bowl, bowed to the volunteers with a smile, and then carried her younger brother to the classroom with her rice bowl, preparing to share today's lunch with her younger brother.
"Mr. Jiang is a good man. You are lucky to have such a father."
The volunteer's words made Jiang Chongde silent. He looked at his father who was playing with some black, thin and unclean children not far away, and he realized that he really didn't know that man.
Jiang Chongde and others had the same lunch as the children. When Jiang Chongde was about to wash the dishes after eating, he found that the children who had finished eating just licked their rice bowls clean, but did not wash them at all. bowl means.
"There is no water source on the mountain. The nearest deep well is more than three hours' walk away from us. Every morning, people in the cottage go to fetch water, and then bring the well water that the school needs to cook and cook that day, as well as the teachers and teachers. Drinking water for the kids, and nothing more than that."
The school teacher explained that the local water resources are extremely scarce. If you want to use water, unless you spend a lot of money to drill a deep well, you have to walk a few hours of mountain roads to pick enough well water for your family. In other words, water is as valuable as money.
So the kids in school will choose to take the bowl home to clean, or clean it every few days, they are also used to this kind of life.
"How much does it cost to drill a well?"
Jiang Chongde couldn't help but ask.
"About two or three hundred thousand."
The teacher on the side replied.
Hearing this number, Jiang Chongde realized what it meant by the Ferrari he casually asked his father to buy.
He didn't speak, because he knew it was his dad's money, but not his, he just looked at his dad with wet and longing eyes.
"I will contact the well drilling team to see if there is a suitable place for drilling a well near the school."
Jiang Liu opened his mouth. In fact, not only Jiang Chongde couldn't bear it, but he also couldn't bear it. Only people who lived at the bottom could understand the sadness of the people at the bottom.
It is said that poor mountains and bad waters make troublesome people, but it is precisely because they are so poor that they cannot survive, and when their self-esteem and morality are of no value, there will be more and more troublesome people. Jiangliu provides them with opportunities to learn, and brings them what they need to survive. What happens to the water source in the future depends on their own efforts.
Thinking that many of the 100 Hope Primary Schools that I helped build might also be built in areas where water resources are scarce. Since this school has drilled a well, they might as well have been drilled.
Thinking that his private money is about to shrink again, Jiang Liu couldn't help but feel a little pain.
While they were talking, a volunteer quietly took a photo of the father and son and saved it on his mobile phone.
******
During the nearly two-month summer vacation, Jiang Liu took his son to visit the Hope Primary School he built with his aid. Jiang Chongde now also believes that his father is really rich, otherwise he would not spend tens of millions to do it. Such a good deed.
In the past two months, Jiang Chongde has a deeper understanding of his father, less familiarity, more admiration and respect.
Jiang Liu is also not a real stepfather. Seeing his son has lost a lot of weight in the past two months, he thought of taking him to eat a delicious meal before school starts. Life cannot only be bitter, but also occasionally sweet. .
Jiang Liu took his son to a private restaurant only known to the old gluttons in Hangzhou. The dishes here are expensive, and at the same time they can’t order food. The boss can do whatever he wants, and the diners will eat what they want. But because the boss’s craftsmanship is good, the people who come Still a steady stream.
"Dad is not such a lavish and wasteful person on weekdays, and it is for you that he goes to such a restaurant."
Jiang Liu took a sip of the owner's homemade sour plum soup, only to feel that the heat was completely gone, and his whole body was relaxed.
Jiang Chongde had never been to such a good place before, so he was cautious and didn't dare to look around, for fear that others would find out that he was a douchebag. Listening to his father's words, he could only nod his head again and again, thinking that his father was so kind to him, and that he would make money in the future. Take dad to eat delicious food often.
"Hey Yoliuzi, you haven't been here for two months. You used to come to eat with me every day."
The chef came out to greet the guests, and when Yu Guang saw Jiang Liu, he walked over quickly, and the Pu fan slapped Jiang Liu's back like a big slap: "I still think you are tired of my craftsmanship, and go to eat elsewhere. gone."
Jiang Chongde: …
Is this what it means to never go out to a restaurant if it is not for him
Hmph, sure enough, old men are big hooves.
The author has something to say: Because some little angels don't know that a big ass is a big liar, they changed the last sentence to a big pig's hoof. After brushing the comments and forums, it was past ten o'clock. Now I really want to go to bed. span
