Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 30 The artistic Mr. Yang

When Ah Hui and the others returned home, they also heard their parents talking about school.

After understanding it, he had similar thoughts to Zhang Yaohua and was even happier.

After all, it is the Central Primary School, one of the top three schools in the town. It is a famous school in their town. Now that they have the opportunity to send their children to it, why not?
It's just that the cost of studying has become a little higher, which he thinks is acceptable.

"Are you all against it?" he asked.

"Not all of them are against it, most of them are! They don't want to send it that far. However, the school's closure is basically a certainty." Ah Hui's father said.

This is the town's policy. Your arms can't twist your thighs, so it's not your turn to object.

When the time comes, if the teachers from the village school are transferred again, you guys are still having fun!

"What will the school in the village do in the future?" Shui Wangze asked.

After all the teachers and students are evacuated, it will be an empty school. It is still a building after all, so we can’t let it be abandoned like this, right?
"It should be taken back to the village committee! It's not clear yet. We will probably have to continue to hold meetings to discuss it later."

Ah Hui understands that another reason why the town government did this is that the number of students in many schools has decreased.Those large schools began to merge with small schools.

When they were in primary school, the village school had more than 200 students.

Today, it has been reduced by more than half, which is a terrifying figure.

No wonder the country is allowing second and even third children.

……

The next day, Zhang Yaohua and the others did not continue to go to sea.

Zhang Yaohua is going to take the Dragon Palace Weng Rongluo to the county to take action, while Ah Hui is going to the village committee to further inquire about the school. They both have something to do.

He still came to the shop where he sold snail jade last time.

"Little friend, it's you again? What are you going to do this time?" It's still the old man.

Obviously, the old man still has an impression of Zhang Yaohua.

"You can control the things in the sea." Zhang Yaohua took out the Dragon Palace Weng Rongluo and placed it on the table without saying anything.

The old man was slightly surprised: "Dragon Palace Weng Rongluo? My dear friend, what a blessing!"

He held it in his hand and admired it. The conch was in excellent condition, even better than what he had seen in the Oceanographic Museum.

The reason why I met Longgong Wengrongluo was because a friend was keen on collecting shells.

Collection is a hodgepodge. Generally speaking, it can be divided into humanities collection and natural collection.

All kinds of collections related to the development of human cultural activities are humanities collections, such as antiques, cultural relics, four treasures of the study, coins, stamps, pottery, calligraphy and paintings, snuff bottles, securities, etc.

Natural collection refers to the collection of specimens of all materials that exist in nature, such as fossils, strange stones, gems, plants, insects, amber, marine life, animal bones, etc.

His friend is a keen nature collector.

"My little friend, do you mind waiting for an hour or two?"

Zhang Yaohua frowned: "It takes so long?"

The old man explained: "I have a friend who likes this kind of treasure. If I let him see it, the price should be higher. For things like collectibles, when you meet someone who likes them, their value will often rise."

"Okay, then I'll bother you, boss."

"Haha! No trouble. My little friend, go sit over there for a while."

The old man took a photo with his mobile phone and sent it to his friend: If there are good things, come to my antique shop.

Later, Zhang Yaohua drank tea with the old man and waited.

After communication, Zhang Yaohua learned that the old man’s name was Tang Youde.

Mr. Tang's friend came from the next county and it took more than an hour, which was quite fast.

"Old Tang, where is Dragon Palace Weng Rongluo?" He hurriedly rushed in.Zhang Yaohua discovered that it was an old man with a long beard.The top of his head was bald, with not a single hair on his head. Instead, he had a lush, well-groomed beard.

It looks very artistic at first glance.

Zhang Yaohua thought of a person-Zhang Daqian.

Mr. Tang said angrily: "Old Yang, what are you so anxious about? Dragon Palace Weng Rongluo is the treasure of this little friend Zhang Yaohua, come and get to know him!"

"Hello, Mr. Yang!" Zhang Yaohua took the initiative to say hello.

"Okay, so are you! The young man is very energetic! Without further ado, how about we watch Dragon Palace Weng Rongluo first?" Mr. Yang said straight to the point.

Just what Zhang Yaohua wanted.

"Here, please look."

When Mr. Yang saw that Dragon Palace Weng Rongluo, his eyes suddenly lit up.The quality was better than he expected.

The number of Longgong Wengrong snails is rare, there are only more than 300 in the world.Among them, there can be no more than fifty that are as good as the one in front of me.

As a holy item in shellfish collection, Dragon Palace Weng Rongluo has always been the object of Yang Lao's pursuit.

I acquired one a few years ago, but it was half the size of the one in front of me.Now, how can we let go of such a good person?
"Very good, how much do you plan to sell it for?" After admiring it, he said with satisfaction.

"Please give me a price. Since Mr. Tang introduced me, I shouldn't suffer any loss."

have to!With this sentence, Mr. Yang was really embarrassed to offer a low price.

He pondered for a moment: "To be honest, I bought one for RMB [-] a few years ago, but it's not as good as yours in terms of size or quality.

How about this!I double the price, how about 12? "

Mr. Tang also said on the side: "12 is not low. If it were more than ten or twenty years ago, this kind of conch would have been more than this price abroad. But in the past ten years, many Longgong Wengrong conchs have been discovered one after another."

In their line of business, what they pay attention to is that when things are rare, they are valuable, and when there are more, they are greatly discounted.

"Okay, thank you." Zhang Yaohua nodded.

Mr. Yang waved his hand: "I thank you very much. If you pick up such a good thing next time, you can call me. The price will definitely satisfy you."

With that said, he left his contact information for Zhang Yaohua.

"must."

When he returned to the village, Zhang Yaohua saw that the villagers were arguing with village cadres about closing the school.

Zhang Yaohua originally just wanted to be a melon-eater.

But he was caught by the village director: "Ahua, your family agrees. Come and say a few words to everyone."

There are risks in eating melons, so don’t watch around.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhang Yaohua had to say: "It seems like there is nothing to say, right? The school closure is basically a foregone conclusion. You might as well think on the bright side. The Central Primary School is ranked third in our town. It is strong and can send children to study. Isn’t it great?”

Someone interrupted: "The transportation fee is 600 yuan a semester!"

This is the key.

Originally, it was almost free to attend a public elementary school. The school only charged fees for homework books, study materials, etc., which only cost a few dozen yuan a semester.

But if you do this, the pick-up fee will be as high as 600 yuan.

"That's right! We have to eat at school at noon. What about the food expenses? It can't exceed 1000 yuan a semester? With five children in my family, it costs several thousand yuan in half a year, and more than 1 yuan a year."

Wouldn't Zhang Yaohua ridicule the villagers and couldn't even afford a few thousand yuan?Nor will they ask whether the villagers have worked hard.

Investing several thousand yuan in education for half a year is a big burden for many peasant families. How much do they earn after a year of hard work?
