Regardless of how future generations judge education, there is no doubt that going to school is the only shortcut to success for children in mountainous areas or poor families.

But the poorer the place, the more ignorant the parents, or not ignorant but more realistic. Families who are not wealthy are already paying their children's school fees to make it even worse, and children who do not go to school and do some farm work at home can also reduce the burden on the family.

You can't accuse these parents of being short-sighted, after all, when they are still hungry. You can't expect him to have too many illusions about the future, and filling his stomach alive is their first need.

Therefore, to help Hope Primary School in poor mountainous areas, it is not just a matter of building the school and finding a volunteer teacher. If you can't get nearby parents to send their children to school, then there is no point in building a good school.

With each Hope Primary School built, how to recruit students is a major difficulty in the volunteer teaching project, because even if the tuition and miscellaneous fees are waived. Many parents are still willing to let their children work at home or herd cattle, rather than send their children to school.

As for the nine-year compulsory education stipulated by the state, in their opinion, as long as they don't kill people, it is not considered a crime, and there is not much deterrent in the legal cognition.

After trekking through mountains and rivers for more than four hours, Yang Dongxu and Yu Yi and others finally came to a place called Xiaotun Township in the depths of Liangshan.

After walking through the market for about ten minutes, you can see the Hope Primary School with red bricks and white walls. The five-star red flag fluttered on the flagpole in the center of the school, but the wall to the west, which was originally hopeful, had some signs of being demolished, and now the gap was blocked by a wooden fence that looked like a scar on the white snow.

"What's going on?" Yang Dongxu, who was panting, put down the heavy package he was carrying, which was very heavy with exercise books and pencil stationery or something.

"Demolished by the villagers. Yu Yi sighed.

"Huh?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows, he had also personally participated in the teaching and hope primary school projects, and he knew more or less about some conflicts and even encountered some of them, but it was the first time he had heard of the demolition of the school.

"A villager's house collapsed, and he saw that the school was very strong, so he demolished some and went back to prepare for the wall. He secretly dismantled it little by little at night, and by the time he found it, it had already been dismantled like this. The school consulted with the village cadres to bring back the bricks he had stolen and rebuild them, but he did not agree. It's not worth it to carry bricks in from the outside, so I can only make do with it like this. Yu Yi said with a sigh.

It is not easy to build a house in the mountains, it is a big problem to use local materials and polish stones, and it is very troublesome to build a house. Therefore, when aiding the construction of Hope Primary School, because of the different roads, the whole school built tens of thousands of yuan to earn, and bags of cement and steel bars were carried into the mountain from the outside of the mountain little by little.

Therefore, in order to make up for such a hole, it is not worth turning the book from the outside and then carrying bricks and cement. And even if you memorize it, it may not be used on the wall.

When the school was built, nearly one-third more building materials were used than expected, and why the original accurate calculation exceeded so much was naturally stolen by nearby villagers, and even hired nearby villagers to carry these building materials, and it was not new for them to carry them directly back to their own homes without sending them to the construction site.

In their perception, since it is a donation, it is a reason to build a school and build a pigsty for their own family. It wasn't until later that after consulting with the local village cadres, he said that this was a government project, and that the evil trend of stealing and taking advantage of the law had to be shot to be suppressed, but from time to time the school would still throw some things.

You can't blame anything for this phenomenon, for these poor households who are still hungry and digging in the field, it is useless to talk about the truth, the warehouse knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing are enough to know the honor and disgrace. When they are still hungry, the only thing they think about is how to feed themselves, and the rest is meaningless to them.

When he came to school, Yang Dongxu didn't see his brother Leslie Cheung, and after asking, he learned that three children from the depths of the mountains dropped out of school last week, and after waiting at school for several days without seeing each other come to school, his brother personally went to a village dozens of miles away to personally persuade the parents of the children.

"No, no, how can you collect money for the things that your dolls use to go to school, if you accept it, you will be poked in the back. A few men who looked very thin had wrinkles on their faces with traces of time, but they were burdened with the burden of a family, waved their hands, gave up the money sent by Yu Yi, and left in a hurry without waiting for Yu Yi to say anything more.

Some people like to take advantage of the public's things, and some people are kind and distressing. Maybe they don't have enough food and clothing, but when they explain the truth clearly, they understand that going to school is for the good of their children, so that their children can have a better future in the future, and even be able to go out of the mountains to eat well.

No matter how hard and tired these parents are, they are willing to grit their teeth and support their children to go to school, and some people sneak home with building materials on their backs. There are also people who don't need a penny to build a school for their dolls, as long as they can drink saliva.

"The next time you don't have anything to carry, invite them to a meal in the city. Yang Dongxu waved his hand to stop Yu Yi who was catching up.

"It's going to get better in the future, right?" Yu Yi turned her head, and what Yang Dongxu felt for the first time from her Danfeng eyes was not coldness and a different kind of charm, but hope for the future in fear like a frightened little beast.

"It'll be fine, as long as this generation can read and write, go out of the mountains and see the outside world. Then their lives will not be crucified to the ground, and their children will live better and more hopeful. "Although we will allocate money to the Rain Fund every year, and it will increase every year.

But there are some things that you don't see with your own eyes and experience for yourself. You can never feel that heart-wrenching feeling, although you haven't seen your brother yet, Yang Dongxu seems to understand why such a big star no longer wants to leave when he comes to the depths of this isolated mountain.

The conditions of the school are very difficult, although the school has been built, but the teachers who can teach are now assigned three, plus the elder brother, there are only four teachers who come to help, but they manage five classes.

It is normal for one teacher to study on their own in the first half of this classroom and six students in the second half of the class, and to go to another classroom for the first half of the class.

When Yang Dongxu and Yu Yi arrived, it happened to be the afternoon when the children were in physical education class. Watching a child with a smile on his face chasing a soccer ball on the playground, a child cherished the soccer ball and put it back in its place after physical education class.

He couldn't help but feel a little sour in his nasal cavity and looked up at the blue sky. He seems to have a deeper understanding of the need to develop the economy at the top, even if it is sacrificed, and that poverty is a disease that is entangled in a country, and only when this disease is cured can you have the capital to talk about anything else.

When it was almost dark, my brother rushed back from dozens of miles away, with three children with some torn clothes, but their eyes were so clean that they could see their reflections clearly.

"When did you come?" Seeing Yang Dongxu's brother, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and asked the child to go back to the dormitory.

When the school was built, it was considered that it was very dangerous for children in mountainous areas to walk dozens of miles to school, so the school built a student dormitory and a canteen to minimize the time for children to travel back and forth on the road.

"Just arrived in the afternoon. ”

"This batch of stationery was delivered in a timely manner, the children's pencils were running out, and there was not much chalk. If I hadn't gone to the mountains today to persuade those parents to send their children to school, I would have gone to the towns outside the mountains to carry them myself. The elder brother smiled and patted Yang Dongxu on the shoulder.

Compared with the chic Leslie Cheung on the screen, the handsome brother in various award ceremonies and commercial performances. Now he is dressed in an old-fashioned tunic suit, with slightly longer hair lying on top of his head, and his handsome face is not that charming and chic, with tiredness and exhaustion that cannot be concealed, but the smile on his face is so heartfelt.

"Didn't you arrange for someone to deliver it regularly?" Yang Dongxu frowned.

"There are not many channels for people in the mountains to earn money, and everyone else has opinions on who to share such a fixed income. After all, they still have a lot of farm work to do and have to support their families, so I will carry it myself when I have time, anyway, it will only take a day to go back and forth, and it is enough to carry it for a week. ”

The elder brother smiled, "What do you want to eat at night?" I have learned several good local dishes, especially the yellow sesame leaves and the delicious ones learned by the villagers. ”

In addition to being a teacher for students and a coolie who travels dozens of miles back and forth in the mountains, he is also a cook in the school cafeteria. Use your own cooking skills to occasionally add some vegetables to the children who bring steamed buns or sweet potatoes as a week's ration from home.

"Well, the taste is very good, especially the big dumplings. Yang Dongxu suddenly felt that it was a little redundant for him to persuade his brother.

"Connoisseur. The elder brother turned around and glanced at Yang Dongxu unexpectedly.

"Don't look down on people, I'm also a rural child. If you talk about yellow sesame leaves and pickled wild vegetables, my skills must be better than yours, and I don't help my mother do these things when I'm at home. Yang Dongxu rolled up his sleeves.

Yu Yi and two village women hired to help began to brush and pick vegetables, this time in addition to a large number of stationery and books, there are hundreds of catties of flour, today the children can eat a good meal of white noodles and dumplings. How to find ways to keep children well fed is also one of the key points of the school's attention.

It's just that this kind of subsidy is too large, even if Yang Dongxu increases his investment in the Runyu Charity Fund every year. Aiding the construction of schools, paying the salaries of volunteer teachers, free of charge for poor children, all kinds of books, stationery, etc., the expenses are getting bigger and bigger year by year, so in terms of how to ensure that children have three meals, we can only do our best to do our best, and we cannot fully guarantee it.
