After dinner, the two village chiefs left.

"Zheng Yan, when those wild mushrooms are harvested, you can't swallow them alone, you must score half of me. ”

If it weren't for Zheng Yan's sudden intervention, Zheng Rong would have prepared to collect some wild meat and bring it back to Hong Kong City when he left. Looking at it now, it's hard to say whether it can be divided into half.

"Okay, look at your unproductive appearance, are you still afraid that you won't have to eat here? I'll send some to Zheng Lao when the time comes." ”

"Let's not talk about that, I have a new idea today. Second, don't you let us invest here to help the local villagers increase their income? But after all, the number of people we can hire in this factory is limited, and I think the wild mushrooms we eat today are a good way. ”

"I've thought about this for a long time, but didn't I just say that the production is too small. Every year, almost none of the precious wild mushrooms in the mountains are collected, but they are not much. ”

Nowadays, few people are aware of the concept of artificial cultivation, even if the vegetable greenhouses of later generations do not know whether to introduce them into the country, the vegetables eaten in the north in winter are radish and cabbage.

Although Zhao Weimin is a high-level intellectual, he studied computers after all, and he does not know much about agriculture.

"I mean artificially cultivated. Of course, I also know that this work will not be done if it is only done by the villagers. That's what I think, and the charity fund will pay for the cultivation of agricultural universities, and then we will promote the cultivation methods. ”

After Zheng Yanyi's words, Zhao Weimin also felt that it was feasible. Before that, Zhao Weimin was just thinking about how to turn the existing things into money for the villagers, but he never thought about making the existing things more.

"Okay, I'll get in touch with you as soon as possible. Do this today, and you can rest early. ”

Although Zheng Yan took a nap in the afternoon, compared to the fatigue caused by the hurry, it only played a role in alleviating. Now that I'm full of food and drink, I'm a little sleepy again.

Without the hustle and bustle of the city, the tranquility of the mountain village allowed Zheng Yan to sleep well. The next morning, after Zheng Yan got up, he looked at the misty mountains and forests, took a breath of fresh air, and suddenly felt refreshed.

"Brother Zhen, let's go, let's go out for a walk. ”

Since Zheng Yan took a leave of absence, people have become a lot lazy, and now he rarely has the interest of walking.

The factory is built at the foot of a mountain, out of the factory gate, a path leads to the top of the mountain. Zheng Yan and Wang Zhen didn't say hello to others, and went up the mountain directly.

It was still a little cold in the mountains in the early morning, but after the two of them walked for more than ten minutes, they slowly felt warmer.

Zheng Yan, who was in a good mood, suddenly saw a scene that made him sad.

I saw a little girl of about ten years old, dressed in shabby clothes, carrying a basket about the height of hers, which was full of grass, and was slowly descending the mountain.

"Kid, what are you doing with so much grass, don't you have to go to school today?"

After the little girl saw Zheng Yan and the others, she was obviously a little frightened, her eyes were guarded, and her body involuntarily took two steps back.

"Don't be afraid, children, my brother is not a bad person, my brother works in the factory below. ”

The entire mineral water company, in Zheng Yan's opinion, is a completely inconspicuous small enterprise, but in several surrounding villages, it is already a well-known charitable enterprise.

When the little girl heard that Zheng Yan was working in the factory, she was obviously much less vigilant.

"I... I mow the grass and feed... Feed the pigs. ”

"Aren't you going to school?"

As far as Zheng Yan knows, part of the school donated in this neighborhood has been put into use.

"No... I didn't go to school, and my father said that the family had no money, and my younger brother would have to go to school in the future. But I heard from my dad that in the future, he would also work in the factory at the bottom of the mountain, and as long as my dad made money, I would be able to go to school. ”

When the little girl talked about going to school, she was no longer nervous, but her eyes were full of longing. But it was this kind of clean eyes that stung Zheng Yan deeply.

"Kid, what do you usually do when you don't go to school?"

"I help the family and take care of my younger brother so that my dad can earn money. ”

Zheng Yan grew up, whether his parents worked in a factory or later went to the sea to do business, his family conditions were good, and he never suffered anything. For poor areas, I only occasionally learned about some situations through television, and never experienced them personally. Looking at the little girl in front of me now, I can't help but feel a little sad.

"Kid, do you want to go to school?"

"I... There is no money at home. ”

When the little girl said this, she kept her head down and kept pinching the corners of her clothes with her hands. Although he did not answer Zheng Yan's question positively, he had already expressed his meaning.

Zheng Yan also lost the interest in continuing to climb the mountain at this time.

"Kid, I'll help you carry the basket, my brother is about to go down the mountain. ”

"No... No, I... My back moved. ”

When Zheng Yan was about to take the basket, the little girl was a little stubborn and took a few steps back.

In the end, Zheng Yan took the basket off the little girl's back and carried it by Wang Zhen. And Zheng Yan chatted with the little girl while going down the mountain.

"Thank you, brother, goodbye, brother. ”

It wasn't until she walked to the gate of the factory that the little girl said goodbye to Zheng Yan, then put on her back and walked towards the village with staggering steps.

"What's the matter?

Zheng Yan entered the factory and happened to meet Zhao Weimin.

"Second brother, I suddenly understood today why you were able to persevere in such a difficult environment. I thought, if it were me, I wouldn't want to leave. ”

Zheng Yan told Zhao Weimin about the experience just now, and Zhao Weimin understood that his feelings were stimulated.

Zhao Weimin thinks about his experience during this time, why didn't he persist because of stimulation again and again.

"Second, maybe our previous donation model was not reasonable. No matter how well we build our schools, what good is it if children don't even have a chance to get into the school?"

"I think we should change the direction of our giving, and the philanthropic funds are mainly used to fund students to go to school, rather than just building schools. Of course, the teaching environment is also important, but it is not the most important. ”

Regarding the problem that Zheng Yan said, Zhao Weimin has actually realized it. Since the last time the funding was available, a shift has already been made.

"This time the factory recruits, in addition, as long as there are school-age children in the family, but they are not in school, they will not be hired. For some families in difficulty, the cost of the child's schooling can be paid in advance by the company. ”

Zheng Yan didn't think that the company would directly bear the cost of going to school, but it was impossible to be responsible for all of them.
