Chapter 1279 Xiayao Village

Principal Nian, hearing Mengyu’s words, felt a pang in his heart. Damiang Town was too poor; they were only allotted the teachers’ salaries, and there was truly no money for the renovation of the classrooms.

The roof tiles in the classroom leaked, and the teachers would often just use a stick to prop them up, protecting one side while the other side leaked. He had always thought, if only some new tiles could be added, it would stop the leaks.

And as for the classroom windows, the kids played around and would accidentally break the glass, yet they couldn’t take out the money to buy new glass.

The classroom was broken, and as the principal, he felt ashamed.

However, with this 100,000, the school could fix up all its shabby spots nicely.

"Student Nan is generous and kind-hearted, even after entering university, not forgetting his alma mater. Having a student like you, we feel so gratified. On behalf of the school, I express sincere thanks for Student Nan’s generosity. Student Nan, why not come by the school for a visit? Tonight, let’s have a meal together at the restaurant on the street."

Mengyu handed over the one hundred thousand yuan, using the excuse of the business hour not being over yet to go quickly deposit the money, she freed herself from the group of school leaders at Damian Middle School, and set off towards Xiayao Village.

In her large backpack, she had filled it again with cured meat, snacks, and space fruit.

When she arrived at Xiayao Village, it was already past four in the afternoon. As she reached the village entrance, somebody noticed her:

"Hey, which family is this fairy-like girl visiting?"

"Yes, where did this beautiful girl come from?"

"Indeed, truly beautiful; I’ve never seen such a pretty girl."

"Ah, this pretty girl is walking over."

Mengyu walked to the large sun-drying square at the village head; although it was midwinter, they liked to chat here during free times.

Of course, it was also because today had the rare appearance of a big sun; even though it was already past four o’clock, the sun had not set yet, and people who loved basking in the sun still didn’t want to go home.

Mengyu directly greeted everyone and took out candies to share with them.

"Aunt Wu, soaking up the sun, have a candy!"

"Sister-in-law Wang, Sister-in-law Qiu, come, have candy."

"Little Fuzi, Ah Mei, all of you come over, sister will give you some candy."

...

Not until Mengyu took out candies to share did everyone recognize the familiar and warm tone in the voice, finally realizing it was Mengyu.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised:

"Haha, Mengyu is back! How did you become so pretty? I almost didn’t recognize you!"

"Indeed, it’s really beautiful; I didn’t even realize it was you just now."

Some even joked with Mengyu: "Mengyu, giving everyone candies, are you getting married?"

Mengyu wasn’t offended, and she responded with a laugh: "Getting married for what? I’m still at university."

Someone immediately chimed in: "Yes, yes, Mengyu is studying at university in Capital City."

"Mengyu is successful, studying at university, about to have a government job."

"Ah, if only I had such a capable daughter!"

"Keep dreaming — in our whole village, only Mengyu got into university."

Mengyu listened to their comments, her face consistently carrying a smile, and she continued to distribute candies to everyone.

After she finished handing out all the candies, she waved goodbye to everyone and headed towards Auntie Ding’s house.

Everyone whispered behind her back: "Huh, she’s carrying large bags headed towards Auntie Ding’s house; is she planning to give all those things to Auntie Ding?"

"She’s carrying such large bags; there must be a lot inside. All of it must be bought for Auntie Ding, right?"

"I saw when she opened the bag to take out candies; there were many meats and upscale candies inside."

"Auntie Ding is fortunate. It’s like getting a daughter."

"Even if she were a daughter, she wouldn’t be this generous."
