Chapter 205 The Secret in My Heart (2)

The elementary school student wearing a bright red scarf was carrying a brand new desk from the classroom to the playground with a big classmate. The vibrant face walked towards the south of the playground in the warm spring sunshine. When he carried the table and walked past Li Siming, Li Siming could even clearly see the fine and soft hair on his cheeks under the sunlight.

He walked in front, and tried hard to lift the table with his hands back. The table legs were always uncooperative, and they hit his calves from time to time, making him unable to get up. So he turned around, carried the table with both hands and continued to walk backwards, with small beads of sweat on his face.

The playground was also built together with this school building, but it was just a simple playground. After it was trimmed, a layer of screened soft fine sand was laid. A few rows of sycamore trees had just been planted around it. In the other corner, several table tennis tables made of cement, several pairs of parallel bars, and a sand pit for long jumping were set up, which was much simpler than the playground of any primary school in a big city. A high platform with steps was built on the south side of the playground to facilitate future cultural and sports activities. The little red scarf and his classmates were putting the desk. Move to the stage, because there is an event next, and a rostrum is being prepared to set up. "Great Good Man" Li Siming and Chen Cheng will give a speech on it. When they walked to the stairs, the big classmate behind took a big step. He accidentally squeezed the red scarf in front of him onto the stairs. Li Siming, who had been following him, couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, but the little red scarf was as if nothing had happened, happily patting the dust on his butt and continuing to move it up with the big classmate.

"What a fool!" Li Siming cursed from a distance.

"It's okay, this child is named Chen Dong, who is from the same village as me. Both parents die and live with hundreds of families. However, he is very ambitious, smart and strong, and a good seedling! He is not spoiled at all. Of course, children with such family conditions will not be too spoiled. This lesson is not to mention. Among all the students of the same grade in the township, he is always the best in every subject. It's really right that you can come here. If this child loses school, it would be a pity! I don't have the shame to be this principal!" Principal Chen saw that Li Siming was very concerned, and he was happy to explain to him, with gratitude in his words.

"Principal Chen, this is what we should do. I think we were studying back then, but there was no book to read. Now we have financial ability, it would be a great honor to help children like Chen Dong! We don't expect every child to become a pillar of the country, but at least we have to give them a chance." Li Siming said, "But I have a suggestion."

"Mr. Li, please ask if you have any requests." Principal Chen said.

Principal Chen graduated from a regular normal school in the county in the 1960s. Logically speaking, he was considered a senior talent at that time and should not have taught in this small mountain village. However, when he responded to the national call to support rural education, he returned to this place where he was born and grew up, and until now. According to the local Chen family genealogy, the elementary school student named Chen Dong was only one generation lower than him. However, Principal Chen did not know that the rich boss from Shenzhen in front of him was so familiar with him. Li Siming always had the highest respect for this uncle whom he had met and did not know.

"Is the school-wide conference held later? But this podium is built on the south side. When the conference is held, the primary school students may have their faces facing the sun at noon. Although the sun in spring is very warm, it will definitely be very dazzling. I would rather put the rostrum in the east or north. What do you think?" Li Siming asked.

Principal Chen and Director Liu, who was standing aside, looked at Li Siming straight and realized for a while.

"Yes, yes! I think it's located in the east." Director Liu agreed repeatedly. He was moved by the details pointed out by Li Siming. While personally directing the entourage to take action, he was thinking: Why didn't I think of it?

"Mr. Li, you are such a great person!" The old principal was moved and burst into tears.

Although Li Siming is indeed considerate, he has a deep understanding, or learns the lessons of history: I remember when I was studying here, whenever the leader spoke, he always listened to the report with a group of classmates, with his left ear and his right ear, while narrowing his eyes towards the sun, and drowsy.

This brand new primary school has three rows of sturdy and durable bungalows on the original site, with beautiful white tiles on the walls, a two-story office building built, a row of dormitories for teachers to rest temporarily and a small kitchen, and a toilet and a playground were built. This five-year primary school with a preschool class originally had only one class in each grade, with a total of 180 people in 6 classes, and in this new semester, it increased to about 800 people in 24 classes. The hardware facilities only cost about 200,000 yuan, with practical savings as the construction principle, but it can be regarded as the best primary school in the local area with the best hardware facilities. In addition, teaching instruments, tools, office supplies and stationery, tables and chairs, sports supplies, each student also received a set of study supplies. The most important thing is that the Education Youth Foundation provided considerable subsidies, including students and teachers. There have been many small incidents in this.

There are quite a few students here with family difficulties. Orphan elementary school students like Chen Dong are of course the most difficult. There are quite a few female students in the countryside who do not have the opportunity to go to school, especially in the rural area of ​​Dabie Mountains. The foundation provides full tuition for such students with difficulties, and plans to spend a portion of the money each semester to reward outstanding students. This has attracted the attention of parents of students with difficulties in studying in other primary schools and transferred to school. Of course, there are families who are capable of supporting their children.

He also wants to get subsidies. Although the foundation is very rich, Chen Cheng cannot pay this money at will. This requires the local staff of his foundation in Anhui to carefully identify it. Similar situations have also occurred in other provinces. This was their work for a year last year. He had to ensure that every penny was spent on everyone who really needed it. The result was that all the poor children in the township came here to study. This result made Chen Cheng and Li Siming very satisfied. They were not afraid of spending more money, but were afraid of spending the wrong money.

Similarly, as the number of students enrolled in school increases, teachers also need to increase accordingly. In order to allow teachers to teach with peace of mind, the foundation also makes up for the income difference between them and public teachers for each private teacher, and needs a subsidy of about 20,000 yuan per month, which makes all teachers with short incomes very excited. For the poor, even if the monthly salary can be increased by a few dozen yuan, it is an astronomical figure. For these people, the difficulties in life are more sad than the hard work of work.

After the school is built, the foundation will not pay monthly subsidies regularly and everything will be fine. Every time, the foundation will send special people to investigate and investigate openly and secretly. At the beginning, people are good at nature, but Chen Cheng and Li Siming would rather imagine human nature to be darker. The foundation has a department dedicated to supervising. Although its staff are affiliated with the foundation, their salaries are withdrawn from the headquarters of MSI Technology Group. Of course, this salary is also at the level of MSI, which will not make these people say that they are the first batch of private charity workers in China who will not do charity on hungry.

Li Siming believes that it is not enough to do charity by relying on enthusiasm alone, and it is necessary to have enough financial resources to support it. Obviously, he is very qualified to do this matter well. The rigorous and meticulous work style and enthusiasm for this kind of charity moved Li Siming. Today, when Li Siming had a rare opportunity to participate in such a foundation event, 208 staff members of the foundation gathered in this small mountain village, and 30 educated youth members were also present. They will witness the formal delivery and use of a primary school they jointly established.

The ceremony officially began. This open-air ceremony attracted the visitors of nearby villagers. People rushed to see what these kind-hearted people from afar looked like. Outside the playground are the fields and green mountains not far away. Li Siming, a far-reaching guest who has not been close to nature for a long time, can smell the smell of soil and hear the low moans of insects rising up early in the grass in spring. This is the smell and music from nature. Seeing the teams of primary school students who were carrying chairs under the organization of the teachers, lined up in an orderly manner to the playground, Li Siming was very excited.

On behalf of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Department of Education, Director Liu praised Li Siming and Chen Cheng and his foundation's kindness. Then the local township government leaders also made a speech. Principal Chen also sang praises Li Siming and others with great excitement, and promised to work hard to run the school so that all students can become successful. Li Siming's eyes looked at the elementary school student named Chen Dong sitting in the middle of the fourth row below the stage, and then within his sight, he browsed the happy faces from the heart one by one. These tender faces were as young as his son. Li Siming regretted not bringing his son here.

"I am very happy to be here on this bright spring morning and have such a meaningful day with all the classmates and teachers.

The plan for the year lies in spring. Spring is the beginning of the year. Just like the 800 students here, you are the future of the country and the star of the nation. Although you have all kinds of misfortunes and various difficulties at home, the education of the century-old plan is based on. We uncles and aunts from big cities are happy to have the opportunity to build such a primary school for you, and at the same time we are also pleased to let you continue to study.

I also have a son who is a little younger than Chen Dong, who is sitting in the middle of the fifth row. The difference is that he has a wealthy family condition. He does not lack food or clothing. Some people deliver food when they are hungry, and some people deliver water when they are thirsty. He has never lacked care. But what I want to tell you today is that the difficult living environment is not unchangeable. You must remember: knowledge changes destiny!

Every one has a dream in your heart. Your dream may be just to get a favorite toy, or you may just want to get more favor from your parents. When you grow up day by day, some may want to be a general, some want to be a scientist, some want to be an astronaut, etc., but to realize your great dream, you must have knowledge. Please remember to use knowledge to arm your mind, use knowledge to change your life, and use knowledge to decorate your future. And your future is like a blank piece of paper, it depends on how you describe it. The future depicted with the pen of knowledge will be extremely brilliant. If you are willing, I am willing to sponsor you to graduate from college or even study abroad. We uncles and aunts are also willing to give you the greatest help at all times.

I hope that you can cherish time, cherish every day of your student life, be the wintersweet flowers proud of the snow, and bloom your youth in the cold wind;

I hope that you can absorb nutrients from books, grow healthily day by day, grow from a seedling to a towering tree, and let the thick canopy cover more people with the scorching sun and the strong wind;

I hope that one day you will grow into a pillar of the country and give back to society, and help more people who need help like you now, so that this flower of love for youth will bloom forever, and use that charming kindness to help more people.

I hope that your future is not just a dream. When you grow up and become a human being, looking back on the past, it turns out that the suffering of youth is a rare spiritual wealth in life. It allows you to keep dreams all the time, reminding yourself to always face the challenges of life strongly, and always fight with a self-improvement heart to fight destiny. By then, you will truly grow up, and we will be extremely proud and proud!…”

Li Siming delivered a passionate speech here, giving advice and earnest expectations to these primary school students. Although not all children understand what he said, Li Siming is sure that the primary school student named Chen Dong definitely understands it. Perhaps many years later, these 800 primary school students have probably not really become great, but in the young hearts of these favored primary school students, a positive heart, a kind heart and a grateful heart have long been planted. When these primary school students become adults, they have no exception to pay the highest respect to Li Siming.

Finally, there was a ceremony to give away school supplies to primary school students, which was a set of rituals that Li Siming didn't like very much. Chen Dongxiao was also one of the representatives. Li Siming personally carried a schoolbag containing various school supplies on his body.

"I guess you must have sworn now to repay those who have given you care!" Li Siming asked in the local dialect.

"Uncle Li, how do you know?" Chen Dongxiao used the word "Uncle" to call Li Siming, which made Li Siming feel quite strange.

"I also know that you hope to join the army in the future because you think the PLA is the cutest person, and you want to be such a person because the PLA can protect the people." Li Siming said with a smile.

"Ah?" Chen Dongxiao obviously couldn't stand Li Siming's look that seemed to be able to see through everything.

"Don't think too much, I guessed it!" Li Siming touched his head, as kind as stroking his own son's head, naturally, "Come on! Work hard! Be strong!"

"Yes, I want to be strong!" The young student said firmly, as Li Siming guessed in his heart. It was obvious that he was much precocious than his son. Children from poor families became the family earlier, and Li Siming had a deep understanding.

Li Siming took off his watch and gave it to this young classmate who had a special relationship with him:

"I will give this watch to you. If you hold it, you will know that time is always flowing away every minute and second. I hope you cherish time and realize your dreams as soon as possible. A few years ago, I also gave a watch and another classmate. Now he has grown up and is about to take the college entrance examination. He is like you and hopes to join the army in the future. I hope you will be as healthy as him, and grow up healthily day by day!"

Chen Dongxiao was surprised by the special attention Li Siming gave him. Of course, he would not easily accept the precious gifts given by others, but he saw that Li Siming's eyes were so full of expectations. He could even see encouragement and appreciation, as well as endless memories through these pairs of expectant eyes. All of this exceeded his ability to accept in his heart. Although this look made him feel very close, it also made him feel scared.

Li Siming looked at Principal Chen with help. Seeing that Li Siming was kind and determined, Principal Chen had to persuade this classmate Chen Dongxiao who was in a very complicated mood, and he reluctantly accepted it.

Li Siming looked at this figure as big as his son and followed him. He did not retract his gaze until he sat down in the student group. If possible, Li Siming would like to hug the child, hold him in his arms, and whisper to him:

"You must be strong and have hope. Your future is not a dream. I have been staring at you!"
