Chen Yang rubbed his hands and stepped forward and said, "Sister Long, I would like to thank you for helping us build our kindergarten."
"What did I do to help you? I just helped you go through the procedures." Long Danyang smiled slightly.
At this moment, I saw Zhou Changmin walking over.
It looks like it's here for delivery.
"Xiaoyang!" After seeing Chen Yang and Long Danyang, Zhou Changmin stepped forward happily, "Mayor Long."
"Uncle Zhou, have you delivered the goods?"
"Yes, yes!" Zhou Changmin's face was full of smiles, "Our bamboo wares are selling well, so I will come with you to deliver them. Is this... the kindergarten going to open?"
"It is now completed and the site is being arranged. It will be open in a few days."
Zhou Changmin's face was full of envy.
"I never thought that a kindergarten could be opened in a village!" Zhou Changmin sighed after a long time.
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, as long as you work hard, your village will be able to do it in the future."
Zhou Changmin shook his head, "I don't dare to think about that... I don't dare to think about it..."
Long Danyang looked at the enthusiasm in Chen Yang's eyes and the disappointment in Zhou Changmin's eyes, and suddenly asked, "How many people can your kindergarten accommodate?"
"It's so big, it must be at least four to five hundred..." Chen Yang said.
"Four to five hundred?" Long Danyang asked with a slight smile, "Then how many children can you have in your village?"
This stopped Chen Yang from asking.
"In previous years, there might not be many. The total number of school-age children in our village is only seventy or eighty at most..." Chen Yang was talking nonsense.
Long Danyang shook his head, "Okay, even if I am among so many people, these people are divided into middle and large classes. In other words, this school is actually very wealthy, right? Let me ask you, is this what you want?
Even if you do it, you should be prepared in advance."
After speaking, he looked at Zhou Changmin.
Chen Yang smiled bitterly, "Sister Long, this..."
"Village Chief Zhou, if the kindergarten here is willing to recruit children from your village, will your children be willing to come to school?"
Zhou Changmin stayed there, "Come here to go to school?"
"That's right!" Long Danyang nodded and said, "Even if you come here to go to school, there will be school buses and special cars to pick you up and drop off your children. Once your children are here, you can still do your work with peace of mind."
"Of course I am willing!" Zhou Changmin slapped his thigh, "How much is the tuition?"
Chen Yang smiled bitterly.
In fact, this was in his plan, but not so soon. But now that Long Danyang had said it, he was naturally embarrassed to refuse, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, our tuition here is not high. After one semester,
It’s about two thousand. This includes breakfast and lunch, and there is no charge in between.”
Two thousand a semester!
Based on their previous living conditions, they would definitely not be able to pay this amount, but now Zhushan Village has a stable income, with a large amount of money coming in every month. Zhou Changmin groaned, "I think it's okay.
But I still have to talk to the people in the village to see if they are willing. If they are willing, then the children in our village will be willing to come here to school."
"Okay!" Chen Yang said simply and generously, "Since Uncle Zhou has said so, I will reserve a seat for you, but you have to go back and discuss it with them first. If you are willing, then I will buy a school bus.
These tools are picked up and delivered every day.”
"Okay!" Zhou Changmin was very happy and left here quickly.
After getting on the tricycle, they headed straight back to Zhushan Village.
"Everyone, listen to me..." After hurriedly returning to the village committee, Zhou Changmin turned on the loudspeaker, and the sound resounded throughout the village, "I don't care if you have anything on hand right now, but when you hear this, come to me immediately.
Come to the village committee. I have something very important to tell you. Remember, at least one person from every household will come. Anyone who is at home should come to me and hurry up."
The villagers were a little confused, but they quickly gathered here.
Before long, there were already many people in the village committee.
Especially some people come with their children.
"Village chief, what's going on?" A villager asked, "Our workers haven't been driven out yet."
"Don't worry, there are more important things than us rushing to work now." Zhou Changmin took a deep breath, looked at everyone and said, "Taohua Village is going to open a kindergarten, do you know?"
Everyone looked at each other, some knew, some didn't.
"I just went to talk to Xiaoyang, and he said that the kindergarten can accommodate so many people. If the children in our village are willing to go there, they can go there."
This sentence caused a stir among the masses.
"Can our children also go to school in their Peach Blossom Village?"
"But it's so far away, can the children walk?"
"How much is the tuition?"
…
For a time, it was extremely lively.
Everyone asked the questions they wanted to ask.
"Okay, let me tell you my general thoughts..." Listening to their busy chatter, Zhou Changmin shouted, "Stop arguing and listen to me."
"Stop arguing!" Someone quickly told the people around them to stop talking.
After they all stopped talking, Zhou Changmin spoke again, "I just asked him about it. If you agree to let your child go, the tuition fee will be two thousand yuan a semester."
Upon hearing the amount of money, some of them were about to speak again, but Zhou Changmin pressed his hand and motioned for them to wait until he finished speaking, "As for schooling, they will buy school buses and hire drivers to take the children to and from school every day.
We don’t have to worry.”
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"The only question now is whether everyone agrees or not!" Zhou Changmin finally asked, "If everyone agrees, then this can be done. If not, then we don't have to ask anymore."
"Village Chief, isn't two thousand yuan too expensive?" A villager said, "Four thousand a year, several hundred yuan a month, this... is too expensive!"
"It's so expensive!" Zhou Changmin said angrily, "What, you still want more than a hundred yuan a year? That's compulsory education, this is preschool education, is it the same? The state pays for primary schools, he is a small person
Yang paid for it himself, and even at this price, he can't make any money."
"Why can't we make money..." Some villagers were still unconvinced.
Zhou Changmin was so angry that he pointed at them and said, "Okay, let's do the math. There are at most thirty people in a kindergarten class, and at least three teachers, thirty people, two thousand each, for one semester.
That's 60,000 yuan. How much are the salaries of these three teachers? I calculate 3,500 yuan a month, and half a year's salary is 21,000 yuan. There are also two meals, and the purchase of desks and chairs.
There are also various fruit expenses, and the most important thing is to buy a school bus and hire a driver, you can figure it out yourself!"
When he said this, everyone was stunned for a moment.
Just looking at the money he was going to pay, he didn't think about the money Chen Yang was going to pay.
"I'm just asking you if you want to go to school there. If you think it's too expensive, I won't tell you. You can just work hard for the rest of your life." Zhou Changmin said angrily.
