Chapter 816 You are here!
Seeing that the fight between the villagers was getting more intense, and the crowd led by the two had already rolled up their sleeves to start fighting, Deng Wei hurriedly walked to the center of the crowd, stretched out his arms to separate the two, and said, "Calm down first, that's not what I meant!"
When Liu Laoer and Geng Laosan saw Deng Wei appear among them, they immediately retracted their outstretched hands, fearing that they would accidentally touch him and cause unnecessary trouble, and even more worried about arousing public anger.
Deng Wei saw that the two had calmed down. "I didn't make it clear before, but let me make one thing clear first. I will not change the three criteria that I set before, and the qualifications of the sponsored people who have already been determined will not be revoked, so please rest assured."
Upon hearing this, Liu Lao Er laughed awkwardly, "I am... I am..."
After talking for a long time, he still couldn't make sense, but everyone present knew what he wanted to express.
Deng Wei didn't want to embarrass Liu Lao Er, "Don't say more, I understand!"
Liu Laoer felt relieved and his face turned from gloomy to bright.
But everyone, led by Geng Laosan, looked at Deng Wei and said, "Comrade Deng, what did you want to say just now? Say it now. We are all waiting!"
After thinking about it, he felt that his performance just now was a bit too much. "Comrade Deng, please rest assured. No matter what you say, we will not say anything else."
Deng Wei smiled directly at them, "I was a little unsure at first, but now I have the answer."
Everyone's expectant eyes were all on Deng Wei.
Deng Wei, who has a strong psychological quality, could not bear such scrutiny. "Previously, the funding criteria were all based on students who were already in school, but ignored a group of people who were not in school."
After hearing what Deng Wei said, the people led by Geng Laosan began to breathe rapidly.
Because their families are too poor and cannot afford to send their children to school, they have been blind until now. Every day they have to watch other people carrying schoolbags with envy, which makes them feel uncomfortable.
When they learned that Deng Wei came to the village to sponsor people to go to school, they felt that a ray of hope had appeared on them. However, when Deng Wei announced the funding standards, they felt as if they were in darkness, without any light or hope.
But what was Deng Wei saying just now?
Those who didn’t go to school!
I'm talking about their kids!
Deng Wei observed the changes in Geng Laosan and his friends, and did not keep them in suspense. "For those who have not been to school, since they have never been to school for a day, it is naturally impossible to tell whether they are good or bad students. If we use the previous standards to measure them, it will be seriously unfair to them. So we decided that if they are not in school, no matter they are old or young, we can accept and sponsor them to go to school."
Seeing the smile on Geng Laosan's face, Deng Wei continued, "Although we will sponsor them to go to school, if they don't cherish the hard-earned opportunity, are unwilling to study hard, and just mess around in school, then we will also cancel their eligibility for sponsorship after an assessment. Do you have any problem with this?"
"Is there a problem with this?" Geng Laosan spoke first. "You've been given the opportunity to go to school, but you don't seize it and work hard. You deserve it to be cancelled."
"If you don't seize an opportunity, it will no longer have anything to do with you after a day, and it will directly become someone else's opportunity!"
"For someone who is unwilling to make progress, even if he is given luxurious clothes and delicious food every day, he cannot become an emperor and is only fit to dig for food in the fields."
"It would be foolish of him to waste such a good opportunity. He is not destined to be successful!"
Deng Wei was very pleased to hear the villagers expressing their views on how someone might waste the funding opportunity.
It seems that these villagers still have some moral bottom line.
He will not be morally blackmailed and required to be responsible to the end once he starts funding, and he will not be allowed to give up even if it is a mess.
So Deng Wei felt warm in his heart. At this moment, Geng Laosan looked at him and said, "Comrade Deng, thank you very much for giving these children in our family who have never been to school a chance. But I think there is another point that I have overlooked. It has been on my mind for a long time, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
Seeing this, Liu Laoer realized that Geng Laosan might embarrass Deng Wei again. He was worried that Deng Wei would get angry and cancel the funding, so he quickly tried to stop him, "Geng Laosan, don't be so arrogant. I've already sponsored children like you who have never been to school. What else are you not satisfied with?"
"Liu Laoer, I..." Geng Laosan felt choked and even more embarrassed.
"It's okay, just say what you want to say." Although Deng Wei was somewhat dissatisfied with Geng Lao San in his heart, he did not show any abnormality on his face. After seeing the conversation between Geng Lao San and Liu Lao Er, he signaled Geng Lao San to speak directly, "But let me be frank first. If what you say exceeds the standard we can bear, then I will directly refuse it."
Geng Laosan took a deep breath and decided to speak out. "The previous funding criteria were for those who had been to school and were good at studying. But there are a group of children here who may not have studied well before, but have made progress through hard work and become good students. Can they be included in the scope of your funding?"
Deng Wei didn't expect that Geng Laosan was not seeking benefits for himself, but for those children who had nothing to do with him. The slight dissatisfaction in their hearts towards him disappeared completely.
"We have indeed not considered what you said before," Deng Wei did not respond to them on the spot, "but we will consider it carefully and give you a reply after we have considered it carefully."
Geng Lao San felt relieved when he saw that Deng Wei did not directly refuse but instead said that he would carefully consider it. "Thank you so much!"
Deng Wei waved his hands. "There's nothing to thank me for. You're too polite."
When everyone saw how humble and polite Deng Wei was, they had a better impression of him.
"How about this, it's getting late. Go back and sort out the information of the children who haven't started school yet and send it to the village chief. I will review it as soon as possible and give you a reply. After all, school has already started. It's better to review it early and send the children to school so that they can start learning faster. This is better."
After hearing this, Geng Laosan and some others excitedly said goodbye to their waiters, then turned around and ran home.
They have to tell the kids at home who are eager to go to school as soon as possible that they can go to school in the future!
Deng Wei chatted with the villagers who stayed behind for a while, then said goodbye to them, "I have something else to do with the village chief, you guys go ahead and chat!"
When Deng Wei returned to the village chief's house, he happened to see the village chief's wife coming out of the house into the yard, "Hey, big brother, you're here!"
