The gloomy sky seemed to be holding back a heavy rain, and it had already begun to snow at this time in previous years, but this year it was very strange.

Lao Guo had already called four or five times to ask Yi Yongheng to go to the township government, but he ignored it and held his hand, even if the cold wind was blowing each other, Liu Fei didn't feel too cold.

Several figures in the distance attracted Yi Yongheng's attention, pulling Liu Fei, Yi Yongheng walked over quickly, Liu Fei was a little strange, but he still followed.

After a while, they caught up with those figures, and when they looked closely, Liu Fei's face showed an unconcealable surprise, the people in front of them were only about ten years old, and even the youngest was only seven or eight years old, but they were carrying two stacks of grass on their shoulders that were bigger than them, and the stacks were dragged on the ground, although they were only backs, but looking at their walking posture, it could be seen that the burden was very heavy.

"They...... They ......." Liu Fei's face was full of disbelief.

Yi Yongheng didn't answer Liu Fei, and walked straight up, the children in the ravine are like this, they have to help the family do farm work since they were young, and when they come back from school, they either go to hunt pigweed, or to carry rape poles, or to carry haystacks, growing up in the mountains since childhood, Yi Yongheng naturally understands, especially on weekends, basically go to the mountains to chop firewood for winter.

Liu Fei followed in surprise, only to see Yi Yongheng walk to the side of a few children, and lifted the first child's haystack with one hand, followed by the first few children, and several children reacted only to find that this strange person had lifted the haystack on their shoulders. They were a little scared, but they didn't run away, but stared at Yi Yongheng directly.

"How about I help you take it back?" Yi Yongheng said in the authentic southern Hunan dialect.

Hearing this, several children were happy and surprised, Yi Yongheng's dialect obviously dispelled the vigilance in their hearts, and at this time, Liu Fei also walked up. As soon as the children turned around, they saw Liu Fei stunned, and a crisp and childish voice sounded: "Sister, you are so beautiful." ”

Hearing this, Liu Fei didn't know why, because these children spoke dialects, she naturally couldn't understand it, but when she heard this voice, Liu Fei said strangely: "Are you a girl?"

Several children were stunned, obviously because of Liu Fei's Mandarin, and at this time, Yi Yongheng lifted the haystack and walked over: "This little girl said you are beautiful." ”

"Do you know how to speak Mandarin?" Yi Yongheng said as he turned to a few children.

"Yes. We all will. A few children said happily, but this Mandarin is a little lame, but Liu Fei finally understood.

Several children looked at Yi Yongheng and Liu Fei, full of envy and curiosity, there is basically no TV here, they can't see what the outside world is like, the children in the mountains may not see the outside world before they go to high school, because they don't have that leisure, and they are not so rich, the dress of the two of them is definitely novel but beautiful in their eyes.

Especially the little girl, she stared at Liu Fei's hair bun with envy and joy, Liu Fei smiled, then took off a hairpin on her head, walked to the little girl, and then handed it to her: "Do you like it? ”

When the little girl heard this, she looked at Liu Fei happily, and was about to pick it up with her hand, "Little sister, mom said that you are not allowed to ask for other people's things." ”

As soon as he heard this, the little girl's hand suddenly retracted, looking at the pitiful hairpin, wanting but not daring to ask for it, he turned his head to look at the little boy next to him and pouted.

"Little sister, when my brother grows up and goes out to work, I will definitely buy it for you when the time comes. The little boy touched the little girl's hair and said softly, hearing this, the little girl smiled, and the expression on her face disappeared, but occasionally peeked at the hairpin in Liu Fei's hand.

"Big brother, return the haystack to us, Dad is going to scold when I go back late." The boy who spoke just now spoke, and the rest of the children did the same, looking at Yi Yongheng expectantly.

Hearing this, Yi Yongheng shook his head, and then put the haystack back on their shoulders, and then several children walked back slowly with the haystack with a smile, and they could vaguely see their small backs slightly bent.

"Surprised?" Yi Yongheng asked, looking at their small figures.

"Hmm. Liu Fei nodded, she was born in a wealthy family since she was a child, she wanted to have nothing, but a hairpin made a little girl so happy, especially the little girl didn't look like a girl, like a boy, she was dressed almost the same as a few boys, the only thing that could be distinguished was the crisp but childish voice.

"How cruel their parents were to let them do such heavy work. Liu Fei said angrily, she had never seen such a child, it was too different from the children in the city, and it was too late for parents in the city to spoil their children.

"You are wrong, it's not that their parents are ruthless, because their parents are under heavier pressure than them, whether it is a child in the village or a child in a mountain village, their daily life is to read, do housework, do farm work, so that maybe they can reduce some burden on the family, after doing these things, they will go to read books, write homework, it can be said that play is almost impossible for them, because their parents are poor, and even the children of some families can't even afford to read, and they have been farmers all their lives since they were young. Yi Yongheng took a breath: "Those who have a little money will hope that their son will become a dragon, because they are afraid of poverty, even if they do everything, they want their children to be admitted to college." ”

"This ......" Liu Fei couldn't believe it, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

"Did you see the little girl's eyes just now?" Yi Yongheng asked.

"Well, if she hadn't spoken, I'm afraid I would have thought she was a boy. Liu Fei replied.

"This is the mountain people, there are too many in the whole of China, I don't know if you have seen on the Internet that 8090 is a generation that is abolished. Yi Yongheng said.

Liu Fei shook her head embarrassedly: "I don't usually watch these news on the Internet, but I seem to have heard of it, but I am also a post-80s generation." ”

"Actually, it's not to blame the post-80s and 90s, because they grew up in such an environment, what does that child's eyes represent?" Yi Yongheng asked, Liu Fei just shook his head, and he continued: "Envy, these children are all 90s, they will eventually go out of the mountains, and the society outside the mountains is full of fierce competition and materialism, in this kind of society, they will have an inferiority complex, compared with the children in the city, they are hillbilly buns, just imagine who can bear this?" Fei, if it were you, would you be able to stand the discriminatory look of others?"

Liu Fei shook his head.

"What will such a psychology and such an environment cause? Some people may be more energetic, but that is only a minority, some people may be willing to become a worker, some people may be willing to cater to this society, willing to grovel, but this is not important, more importantly, in order to get what they want, for the grievances in their hearts, some people will go to the road of crime, to the road of depravity, so there is nothing wrong with saying that the post-80s and 90s are wrong, what is wrong is this society of dogs and horses, and what is wrong is the widening gap between the rich and the poor. Yi Yongheng said lightly.

"But is this the way it should be? They also have a chance to fight, they have a chance to create. Liu Fei retorted.

Hearing this, Yi Yongheng smiled: "Hehe, Fei, you are wrong, the starting point is not the same, the fate is not the same, this era has changed, in the era before the eighty, there were very few temptations from the outside world, called egalitarianism and socialism, what you see is the same, the salary rises together, no matter where you go, the relationship between people is not utilitarian." It's different now, even if you were born in a town, if you are not the second generation of officials and the second generation of riches, I am afraid that if you want to make contributions in this society, it is all a dream, I think when I first came to your house, do you know how I felt?"

Liu Fei still shook his head.

"I'm very surprised, I never dreamed that some people's homes in China would be so big, so luxurious, do you know what that feeling is? It's envy, it's surprise, it's inferiority, it's more resentment, I think why our family is not like this, why is the difference so big when we live in this land, why I study hard and become the top student in the provincial college entrance examination, but people can enter the university as long as they move a little bit of their relationship, even if they participate in the work, they are the priority, is this to blame me for not being born in a good family?" Yi Yongheng was a little excited: "No, I don't blame it, I can only blame this society, this environment, and this system." ”

Liu Fei was silent, what Yi Yongheng said was not right, she has lived in a wealthy family since she was a child, she has no worries about food and clothing, she doesn't lack anything, what famous university as long as his father has a relationship, he can go in, anything, as long as she wants her father, she can buy it, she thought of Yi Yongheng, if he didn't have that mysterious little pot, would he still be standing here now? The answer is definitely no, maybe he has been teased to death by himself.

"Any city in China, like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, 50 kilometers away from the city, the eyes will face poverty at once, this is the gap, the above is talking about reform every day, every day is saying that it has become better, in fact, it is just fooling the people, any place in China, as long as you go deep into the grassroots you will find what poverty is, but the society not only does not bear the responsibility, but blames the 8090 generation, this generation often asks a question, what is the meaning of my life, I want to ask, if there is no such environment, there is no such gap between the rich and the poor, everyone's starting point is the same, who is willing to fall, who is willing to sin, who is willing to grovel, who wants to ask themselves what is the meaning of living?" After hearing such words, Liu Fei just looked at Yi Yongheng silently and did not speak, she understood that Yi Yongheng was right.

"Whatever you want to do, I will support you, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, we will go to life and death together. These words made her understand this man's heart, she can never lock it, all she can do is support him silently.

"Now China is a commercial society, can make money, some people do everything, a very small number of people live very happily, but most people are not happy, many people ask me what I want to do, in fact, it is very simple, I just want most of the people in China who are not happy, live happily. Yi Yongheng's face was firm: "Go, it's time to go back." ”

"Well, why didn't you just help those kids carry the haystacks and give them back"

"Hehe, I can help them for a while, but I can't help them for a lifetime, in fact, I envy them now, because they all have a pure and immaculate heart, but what will happen to the society in the future? Just like Chinese medicine, what is the use of treating the symptoms but not the root cause? What I want to do is to cure the root cause. ”
