1155. A steamed bun
Chen Jin didn't bring those luxury cars this time, but just drove a modified Wrangler, dressed as a self-driving travel friend, and walked into the hall with a huge backpack.
From a distance, there was no one at the front desk, but when I got closer, I found that there was a wire bed inside, and someone was sleeping with his head covered.
"Hello?" Chen Jin shouted tentatively, but did not respond.
After he raised his voice and shouted several times, a young man with chicken nest hair poked out from under the quilt and squinted at Chen Jin with an impatient expression.
"300 a night with a deposit of 300. The young man spoke.
Chen Jin raised his eyebrows and almost laughed. This price is much more expensive than the express hotels in big cities!
The young man seemed to be accustomed to this reaction, and said directly: "It's okay not to live, there are no other hotels in the county, there is a homestay 80 kilometers to the north, 480 a night." ”
Although the county is remote and poor, it also has amazing and beautiful natural scenery because of the special altitude difference, which attracts many senior donkeys to hunt for curiosities.
Scarcity is expensive, and the only hotel in the county relies on monopoly to sit on the ground and start the price.
Chen Jin nodded and took out the money: "Let's open it for a week first." ”
The young man borrowed money, locked it in a drawer, found a key and threw it to Chen Jin, then covered the quilt and continued to sleep.
Chen Jin looked at it, and the room number was attached to the key with transparent tape, so he didn't speak anymore and turned his head upstairs.
The furnishings in the room were not flattering, and the yellowed sheets and yellowed bath towels and towels made Chen Jin smile wryly, and it was really difficult for those travelers.
Putting the backpack on the head of the bed, Chen Jin and his clothes lay down and slept peacefully all night.
The next day, Chen Jin got up early in the morning.
Naturally, the Service Hotel would not provide breakfast, so Chen Jin walked out of the hotel and began to wander around the county.
The county seat is developed next to a stream in the valley, there is no industrial pollution around, and the air is exceptionally fresh and sweet.
Looking up, the surrounding is full of poor mountains and mountains, full of lush greenery, all kinds of rocks, quite interesting.
It's a pity that the geographical location of Gonggong County is too remote, and the transportation conditions are too poor, otherwise tourism alone can feed the entire county.
But Chen Jin withdrew his gaze from a distance and landed in the county of service. It is said that it is a county seat, but in fact there are only two vertical and two horizontal roads, and the buildings are at least twenty or thirty years old, which looks dilapidated.
Although there are many cars parked on the road, most of them are agricultural three-wheeled and vans, and occasionally there are a few private cars with foreign license plates.
What surprised Chen Jin the most was that he went all the way to the center of the county before he saw a breakfast restaurant......
The barrenness of the county is almost every aspect.
After casually eating a bowl of rice noodles to satisfy his hunger, Chen Jin continued to wander, the county seat is so small that it can be measured by 11 roads.
After a while, he came to the county building, which was at the end of a winding path, the nine-story building was the tallest building in the county, and there was not even a decent parking apron in front of the door.
Listening to all kinds of cars on the muddy ground with potholes and water, Chen Jin took a closer look and found that those cars had tickets on them......
Unexpectedly, the vacant land at the entrance of the county government turned out to be a parking lot for the traffic management department.
He walked around the door again, but he couldn't find a car starting with "0". In other words, the financial situation of the county cannot even support official vehicles.
In the past, Chen Jin thought that he had a very deep understanding of poverty, but when he came here, he discovered what "extreme poverty" was.
The more this happens, the more worried he becomes—there are six Hope Elementary Schools in Shigong County, with a total of about 1,000 students. According to the food and beverage subsidy of 8 yuan per student per day, the annual donation is about 3 million.
It is hard for Chen Jin to imagine that in such a difficult situation in the county government, how many of these 3 million can really be eaten by the students?
There is a Hope Primary School in the county, and it should be breakfast time, so Chen Jin did not hesitate and went straight to the goal.
In just five or six minutes, he arrived at Hope Primary School, which was located on a slope on the other side of the river.
Walls don't exist, and they can be approached at will.
The concrete playground, the simple basketball hoop, a sand pit and two horizontal bars on the side are all the space for the children to play.
The school building is a small two-story building, with the first floor for grades 1, 2 and 3, and the second floor for grades 4 and 5. The remaining one, according to the data, is the dormitory + office of several teachers.
Chen Jin asked himself, such an environment, such conditions, no one can stand it, as long as there is an opportunity, they will be eager to develop outside.
However, what is even more tragic is that the poorer the place, the more education needs to change the fate, and the worse the treatment of teachers......
If one really wants to leave, and the other really doesn't want to stay, what can be done? As a result, the serious loss of educational resources in poor areas has become a matter of course.
Chen Jin thought about it very hard, and finally found that nothing could change the situation!
No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education - that's what the slogan says, but that's not how things work.
When Chen Jin got closer, he unexpectedly found that the master who contracted the canteen was putting food, and the children were happily lining up.
There is an even more poignant question: "How many children are there...... They were sent to school simply because the school was in charge of the meals and could save the family's food rations?"
Chen Jin just walked over like this, without arousing anyone's alarm.
It is not uncommon for travelers to visit Hope Primary School, and many children have even become accustomed to the camera in his hand and will make faces at Chen Jin.
But in Chen Jin's lens, what was recorded was the content of their breakfast: a steamed bun.
The amount of 8 yuan per person per day is not a brainstorm, but a result of rigorous calculation according to the price and consumption level of each region, and the amount is different in each region. For example, in some hope primary schools in East China, the amount of money per person per day is 13 yuan, and the highest is 16 yuan.
To this end, the charitable foundation has a special data team that is responsible for investigation, collation and calculation.
In Fugong County, considering the factors of contracting a big pot of rice and the price, 8 yuan is enough for the children to get meat!
Chen Jin watched quietly, and after the children had finished breakfast and started to do morning exercises under the leadership of the teacher, he followed the master to a brick room behind the teaching building.
Red bricks and green tiles are rare in big cities to return to basics, but in this it only means that they are really poor, and even Dabai is reluctant to brush one.
"Master~ Are you busy?" Chen Jin stepped forward and handed over a cigarette.
The master who was wearing a not very clean apron turned around, saw him dressed as a donkey friend, put down the empty basin and took the cigarette: "Are you here to travel?
"Hehe~ I came here. Chen Jin didn't smoke it himself, but turned to the brick house and looked: "Is this the school's kitchen?
The master took a cigarette in his mouth and shook his head: "I picked up bricks and built them myself, how can the school have this money." ”
"Can I go in and have a look?"
"Whatever. I know you guys, let's talk about it first, if you want to shoot me, 5 yuan a piece!"
"Okay, I'll take a look first. ”
Chen Jin walked in, looked at some of the raw materials that were being prepared, and turned around and asked, "It's all vegetarian?"
"Otherwise?" the master also walked in, and said as he busied himself, "I will die at a loss if I buy meat and vegetables." ”
"Isn't there a subsidy from the local government? As I reported on the news when I came, there should be funding here. Chen Jin frowned.
"Haven't heard of it. The master continued to be busy, and seeing that Chen Jin had no intention of letting him make extra money, he threw away the cigarette butt and said, "Let's go out after reading it, there's nothing to see." ”
Chen Jin thanked him, walked out the door and sighed, returned to the hotel and drove in the car, heading towards Hope Primary School in another town......
