The journey from downtown Guocheng to Taiping Commune was unspeakably difficult. Li Jianhui was also glad that he left Li Shuyan in the care of Wu Qiongying and did not take her back home with her.

It was a bumpy journey, less than 30 kilometers, but it took nearly three hours. It only took more than two hours for them to take off from Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong and arrive at Baishiyi Airport.

Although late June is not the hottest time yet, the sun is still quite strong at noon. There are currently no roads in either Simaqiao Village or Shiqiao Village. They can only walk back to the village, and they can only stay at Taipinggong Guest House for the time being.

Have lunch and take a rest before leaving in the afternoon when it gets cooler.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I am Xiang Guiyu, the principal of Taiping Junior High School. I heard that you are here, so I came here to thank you. Because of your donation, our school's current hardware facilities are no lower than those of schools of the same level in the city."

Listening to the words of this nearly sixty-year-old man, Li Jianhui was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that when his mother came back last time, she donated HKD 5 million to this school and Shiqiao Primary School in his name.

Shiqiao Primary School is a village primary school with only two classes. It does not require much funding, and the main funds are still used by the junior high school.

Li Jianhui stood up and said hello to Xiang Guiyu. After asking him to take a seat, he said: "You're welcome, Mr. Xiang. I'm very happy to be able to contribute a little bit to my hometown school."

"This may be a trivial matter to Mr. Li, but it is indeed a great kindness to the teachers and students of our school.

I am not afraid of Mr. Li's jokes. I have been a teacher in the school since 1953, and it has been nearly 30 years now. As I approach retirement, this is the first time I have lived in a classroom and dormitory building that is the same as in a school in the city.

Our students also have the same teaching buildings and dormitories as urban students, as well as basketball courts, football fields and spacious canteens.

Because of such good conditions, five interns from Guocheng Normal University came to us this semester, and I have communicated with them that four of them will continue to return to us to teach after graduation at the end of this year.

You don’t know that graduates from Guocheng Normal School are the first batch of graduates since the resumption of the college entrance examination. They usually enter high schools or technical secondary schools as teachers, and in the end they will choose junior high schools in the city.

These four people can stay because of your assistance, which has created such good conditions for our school."

Li Jianhui also knows a little bit about the situation. The class of 1977 is an extremely special class. They are the first class of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. And due to special reasons, the official enrollment was in January 1978, so that they graduated in December 1981.

moon.

Moreover, currently domestic college students are not everywhere as they were in the 21st century, and every one of them is extremely valuable.

Guocheng Normal University is also the third normal school in the province, followed by Southwest Normal University, Sichuan Normal University, and even Yuzhou Normal University can only be ranked behind it at this time.

Currently, the province and the whole country are in short supply of teacher talents, and undergraduate teacher talents are given priority to technical secondary schools and high schools. The fact that Taiping Junior High School can absorb four people this time is quite impressive.

Moreover, Li Jianhui estimated that a lot of work must have been done for Gui Yu, and he even specifically worked with the Guocheng County Education Committee and even the Guocheng District Education Committee.

Otherwise, it would be useless to just persuade four people to study abroad. The higher-ups would not allow such a waste of talents.

Of course, one possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, the authorities intend to upgrade Taiping Junior High School to a middle school with a high school section, or to a technical secondary school.

During this period, technical secondary schools were more popular than high schools. Technical secondary schools were responsible for assignments, while high schools were not. Moreover, technical secondary schools were more difficult to take exams than high schools.

No matter where Li Jianhui's hometown was in his previous life, in this life, whenever someone mentions Li Jianhui's ancestral home, or even his introduction in the future character encyclopedia, his ancestral home will be here.

In order to have a good reputation in his hometown and to achieve better development for Taiping Junior High School, Li Jianhui said to Cai Xiaoling, director of the United Front Work Department of the Guocheng District Standing Committee:

"Minister Cai, I still said what I said yesterday afternoon. The future of a nation lies in education. As my hometown, I personally hope that the education here will get better and better.

If conditions permit, I hope this school can have a high school department so that our Taiping Commune students do not have to stay away from their hometowns when they attend high school.

To this end, I am personally willing to donate 10 million yuan for the expansion of the high school section of Taiping Middle School."

Li Jianhui, who was aware of the future development of domestic education, did not support the upgrade of Taiping Junior High School to a more popular technical secondary school. Instead, he chose high school.

The influence of a well-known middle school and its contribution to local economic development are no less than those of some universities, and Li Jianhui has many ways to help Taiping Middle School increase its popularity.

For example, if several of its universities give Taiping Middle School a few recommended places, it can immediately make it a well-known middle school in the Guocheng area and even Sichuan and Sichuan Provinces.

Although Cai Xiaoling is not in charge of education, she is still a regional leader. At the same time, as a regional leader of united front work, he knows very well that whether he is a compatriot in Hong Kong or an overseas Chinese, the most important thing is the love of his hometown.

In the past, Li Jianhui and others made large donations to the schools in Guocheng City. If Taiping Junior High School is really upgraded to a middle school with a high school department, I am afraid that there will be a steady stream of help in the future.

However, she had no way to make a decision on this matter and could only say to Li Jianhui: "I personally support the establishment of a high school department in Taiping Junior High School, but Mr. Li also knows the situation. I will report this matter to Secretary Guo via the commune phone later. I believe

There will be a result soon."

Although Xiang Guiyu was just listening, he could not hide the joy on his face. For him, this was definitely an unexpected surprise.

He is not worried at all about the impact on him after the school is upgraded, because he will officially retire next year and the position of principal will have to be given up.

Once the school is upgraded, the development of the school will reach a new level, and he will personally become the principal of the school with outstanding merits. Except for the first principal of the school, none of the principals of Taiping Middle School will be able to compare with him.

In this life, some people do it for fame, and some do it for profit. Those who do not do it for fame or profit are very rare. At Taiping Junior High School, Li Jianhui does it for fame. Xiang Guiyu has taught in the school for nearly thirty years, and the same is true.

For the name.

This time Li Jianhui was a good man and stayed the course, and asked Cai Xiaoling to tell Guo Wubin that the Xinjian Charitable Foundation would donate 200 million yuan to the government, mainly for the construction of cement roads from Guocheng City to Taiping Commune and Simaqiao Village and Shiqiao Village.

As for asphalt roads, Li Jianhui didn't even mention them. In this era, gravel roads and cement roads are still common in China, and large-scale construction of asphalt roads will take many years.

Building a road from the main city is only 30 kilometers at most. Two hundred million yuan is quite a lot in this era.

Anyway, there is so much money, it depends on how the roads are planned in Guocheng area. Li Jianhui hopes that they can be built according to national highway standards.
