Huangjia Gully still does not have a primary school. The children from the village walk ten kilometers to the neighboring village to go to school.
The village chief's heart stirred upon hearing this, and a fervent light shone in his eyes, as 150,000 yuan would be sufficient to build a small rural primary school.
If there were a school in the village, the children wouldn't need to travel so far to and from school every day, freeing up more of their time. They wouldn't have to drop out due to lack of time to help with farming at home.
The village chief has always been distressed by the high dropout rate in the village. In his view, for the mountain village children, only education could pave the way to rise above their circumstances.
He steadied his mind and asked, "What about the other fifty thousand yuan?"
