They were all so into the drama!

After listening to Huo Mingjie's words, the old man was slightly stunned. After a while, he nodded in relief and said:

"You're right. For other children in our town, there is still a way out in study..."

Having said this, the old man looked at his youngest son and grandson in front of him again, opened his mouth and hesitated, but in the end he just changed his mind and said:

"You guys are hungry, I'll get you something to eat!"

Huo Chengyin was the best at observing words and emotions, and he knew his grandfather very well. When he saw his appearance at this time, he knew that he was hiding something in his heart.

He was usually very measured when dealing with outsiders, but at this time he directly grabbed his grandfather and said straight to the point:

"Stop busying yourself...if you have anything to say, just ask!"

After hearing this, Mr. Huo hesitated for a moment, but finally said directly:

"The school officials in the town also know that old houses built thirty or forty years ago have more than just a few broken windows. It is not safe for children to study here!"

"The town has tried to build a new school building several times, but it just couldn't come up with 20,000 yuan..."

Now in 2004, a school that does not need computer rooms, playgrounds, or new teaching aids can save a little and only build a row of bungalows as classrooms, and 20,000 yuan is enough!

But for this small town, which is located in a barren area and has a population of less than a thousand residents, its finances are so tight that it can't even come up with 20,000 yuan...

Hearing this, Huo Chengyin nodded without hesitation and responded generously;

"Okay, Grandpa, don't worry, I'll make up for the shortfall!"

Huo Chengyin was very generous to outsiders, let alone the old man at home.

Huo Chengyin still has some money in his hands from these two commissions, he can get 20,000 yuan!

Huo Mingjie on the side also smiled and nodded, and then said:

"It's up to me. I don't have anything to spend money on right now...I'll add another 20,000 yuan to install some electric fans and buy some teaching aids for the school!"

It's a good thing to donate money to build a school. Even if you can't build it everywhere like Principal Gu for the time being, this is still his alma mater, so there's still no problem if you try your best!

Hearing this, the old man looked at his youngest son, smiled happily and said:

"Okay, I have to thank you on behalf of the students in this town!"

Hearing this, Huo Chengyin said with a smile:

"Grandpa, if you want to thank me, why don't you get some food. My second uncle and I were catching the train and we didn't even bother to eat."

When the old man heard the words, he quickly agreed, got up and walked towards the kitchen, still muttering:

"If you don't say hello in advance when you come back, all we have left at home are some cabbage and potatoes... Let's make some cabbage and boil the potatoes today. When the wind and sand stop tomorrow, we'll buy meat to make a stew for you!"

Huo Mingjie and Huo Chengyin did not dislike it, but responded with some expectation.

Mr. Huo is not a local, but he can cook a few local dishes that are not very authentic. For the uncle and nephew, it is the hometown food that they have grown up eating and still miss from time to time when they are outside...

——

This sandstorm was not big, but it was quite long-lasting. It was probably around noon on the third day that we stopped.

At this time, the entire Thunder Bay town looked a little gray and yellow, and the houses, trees, roads and fields were all covered with loess and gravel.

As long as a person walks around outside at this time, his whole body will be covered with loess and dust, as if he has just emerged from the ground.

But even so, life and production in the town have resumed.

The old man couldn't bear to let his youngest son and grandson eat cabbage and potatoes for two days in a row. As soon as the wind and sand stopped, he ran out to buy some. If anyone else asked, they would bluntly say that the two children in the family were back.

Thunder Bay Town is not a big town, and the news of Huo Mingjie's return spread not long after.

This is quite news in this small town.

Especially when other people knew that the youngest son of the Huo family was now a star and had made money to build a school for the town, it became even more sensational!

Basically in the afternoon, there is a steady stream of people coming to visit.

Some came over just out of curiosity, some asked about Huo Mingjie's current income, and some wanted to go out with their uncle and nephew next year after seeing them making money.

Except for a few who have bad intentions, the others basically come with good intentions.

Huo Mingjie doesn't need to come forward to deal with these matters. Huo Chengyin will handle them with a smile no matter who comes.

Huo Chengyin, who was prosperous outside, had no difficulty dealing with the folks in these towns.

In such a big town, the characters are clear. Huo Chengyin readily agreed to requests from those who were able to help, had good character, and did not embarrass others.

As for other people who had their own petty and bad thoughts, they didn't care too much. Huo Chengyin fooled them with just a few words.

But sometimes, there are some things that Huo Chengyin can't get through alone...

Huo Mingjie just got up from the bed this morning, yawned and walked out of the back room with a chicken coop on his head. He saw three little girls sitting on chairs outside.

Seeing Huo Mingjie coming out, the three little girls turned their gazes around, with eagerness and joy in their eyes.

Huo Mingjie, who was still a little sleepy just now, looked at the three little girls sitting outside and immediately woke up, feeling his scalp numb.

The three little girls are about the same age as Huo Mingjie, and they have been his classmates since childhood.

The conscience of heaven and earth! Huo Mingjie knew that she was good-looking since she was a child, and she was extremely measured when getting along with female classmates, even deliberately alienating her.

But even so, it still can't stop moths from flying into the flame...

Huo Chengyin on the side came close to his second uncle and lowered his voice and said:

"Second uncle, these three are here to stare directly at you. I won't respond to any of my moves. I really can't fool you..."

Having said this, he couldn't help but shook his head and said:

"Fortunately, the high school classmate who threatened to jump off the building if he didn't marry you was reportedly locked up by his family and refused to come, otherwise the house would be even more lively!"

Hearing this, Huo Mingjie frowned and said helplessly:

"Locked up? That's not necessary!"

This makes me look like a vixen who can confuse people's minds.

"It's not just because of you...it's said that this little girl has some kind of will disorder and can't control her emotions. It was also because of this that she wanted to jump off a building to marry you."

This type of illness is collectively called mental illness.

"Originally, the family wanted to hide it, but I heard that the condition has become serious over the past year. The family can only borrow money from everywhere and think about sending it to a big hospital for treatment." Huo Chengyin continued to explain.

Hearing this, Huo Mingjie couldn't help but think of the little girl of his own age.

No wonder the little girl who was quite introverted and shy before suddenly became so strange...

Huo Mingjie sighed softly, and then said:

"After all, we are classmates, please help me send some money so that they can pay it back without being in a hurry!"

Hearing this, Huo Chengyin nodded without any hesitation and said:

"Okay, I'll go get some money and send it over this afternoon!"
