001 was a teenager at the time
September 7, 2018.
Daba Mountains, Shennong Mountains.
As a well-known environmental protection area in the country, the Shennong Mountain Mausoleum was once famous for the possibility of wild people. After the reform and opening up, the local government also began to increase the development of tourism resources, so that this originally barren land gradually became vibrant, and people's lives gradually became richer.
But there is always something that cannot be taken care of. For example, Daowang Village, which is hidden in Shennong's territory.
Because of the highway far away from the scenic spot, although it is already 2018, Daowang Village is still poor. Most of the young people in the village have gone out to work, and most of the people left behind in the village are the older generation of villagers and their grandchildren.
The older generation is reluctant to leave their homeland under their feet, and there is no good way out, while the grandchildren's stay is the dilemma and helplessness of this generation.
After all, they are all farmers in the township, and they are physically and mentally exhausted from working hard in the city, where can they have spare time to take care of their children?
Fortunately, thanks to tourism development, the village has been connected to electricity over the years, and a brand-new primary school has been built, at least so that these left-behind children have a place to study.
The villages on the mountains are not like the plains, where families gather together, they are all located on the flat side of the mountain, one in the east and one in the west, scattered on a radius of about seven or eight kilometers. Daowang Primary School is built halfway up Daowang Mountain, radiating five or six small villages around it, and most students have to walk at least four or five miles to and from school every day to reach the school.
Wang Yufei was walking on the mountain road to school.
He is 16 years old this year, but because of malnutrition, he looks only 12 or 3 years old.
Speaking of which, this is also a poor child, when he was seven years old, his parents who went out to work died in a disaster caused by a drunk driving unscrupulous driver.
It was quite a big incident, with three dead and four injured. But the driver only bought compulsory traffic insurance, and he didn't have much property to enforce.
In the end, the Wang family only got tens of thousands of yuan in compensation, and the price paid by the driver was that he had to sit in prison for the rest of his life.
How much impact this had on Wang Yufei at that time is unknown, he lives with his grandparents on weekdays, and his parents are just a thought of the New Year's holidays, and the death of his parents means that the thought is gone.
But it was a great blow to the two old men.
If the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man does not happen to him, he will not be able to understand the pain of the cone at all, let alone the death of the old couple's favorite and most well-behaved young son.
So when he was eight years old, the two elders died one after another due to depression, and Wang Yufei was followed by the village to live with the uncle and aunt who were also farmers in the village.
A few years ago, his aunt treated him well, after all, the two didn't know what the reason was, and they had no heirs of their own, so they treated him as their own, and although the family was in difficulty, they sent him to school. But the good times didn't last long, a few years ago, the village was connected to TV, and after watching the advertisement for sending a child to the hospital, the two discussed, and entered the city with the tens of thousands of compensation inherited from their parents.
The money was spent, and they really got pregnant with a child, a boy.
At this moment, Wang Yufei's life has undergone earth-shaking changes.
When he was 10 years old, when the village's dilapidated primary school was cancelled and he was offered another school in the town, 10 kilometres away, his uncle simply dropped him out of school and returned home to be used as a child labourer.
It may be difficult for people in the city to imagine that a 10-year-old child has to go up the mountain before dawn to collect firewood, chop pigweed, chop wood and boil water to cook when he comes home, and after serving the food of the whole family, he has to feed the pigs, do housework, and take care of his infant brother.
And I can't get enough to eat......
All the good things in the family must be given priority to the youngest guy, and then the uncle and aunt, after all, only when they are full can they have the strength to do farm work, and the last thing left is Wang Yufei's rations, although the little guy has to carry his younger brother on his back and work in the fields when he is busy with farming.
Fortunately, Wang Yufei's temperament has always been very ......
How to say it, it is easy to make people sad to describe it honestly and sensibly, and it is not enough to describe that kind of well-behaved, or it is the safest to describe it with two words.
I don't like to fight for anything, even if the younger brother is older and commits something, slanders him, and is beaten by the uncle and aunt, he never fights, and endures it silently, what should he do after a while, and forget it after a while.
Occasionally, because the younger brother leaked his mouth, the truth was revealed, and he would only smile honestly, touch the back of his head, and say in a simple tone: "Ah? I forgot, my younger brother is still young, and my uncle and aunt are so busy on weekdays, it's normal to make mistakes, I have rough skin and thick meat, and I beat the poop, it's okay." ”
The helplessness of life did not make Wang Yufei complain too much, just accept it calmly!
This situation continued until the completion of a new primary school in the surrounding villages last year, and the village began to go door-to-door to find out the children who had to receive compulsory education.
It's just that he was fifteen years old last year, and he was only in the third grade when he left school at the age of ten, and when he returned to school at the age of fifteen, he still started reading in the third grade, so even though he is now a sixteen-year-old boy, he is still a fourth-grade elementary school student, and he is the oldest in the class, so he naturally receives a lot of ridicule on weekdays.
Fortunately, Wang Yufei has a generous temperament and doesn't care about it at all.
Today is the tenth day of the new year, the day of the school report, so Wang Yufei went on the road early in the morning amid the scolding of his aunt.
......
Huh? That's ......
An old man on the mountain road was lying on the ground, sniffing with his nose on a weed, and he looked like he was enjoying himself, and his coat that was or should have been white was full of dust, which looked strange.
"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Wang Yufei couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Can't you get up?"
"Huh?" Han Xu looked up at the young man who was speaking out and nodded, "Thank you." ”
He really couldn't get up on his own. His legs are weak, or he overestimates the endurance of his body, and he doesn't need to look at him to know that he must have entered his twilight years now, and the aging rate is getting faster and faster, maybe he will die at any time, right?
I couldn't believe that Wang Yufei was killed, but a few hours ago, the old man in front of him with pale hair and wrinkles deeper than his grandfather turned out to be a middle-aged man.
However, this does not affect the kind-hearted children of the mountain village to help up an old man.
The morality in the city, which was already on the verge of collapse, had not yet radiated to his simple kindness.
"Son, do you want to be the smartest person in the world? When Wang Yufei's hands were on the old man's arm, Han Xu suddenly spoke.
"Hehe, uncle, our school is connected to the Internet!" Hearing this tempting words, Wang Yufei smiled innocently and responded: "Moreover, I have no money." ”
