Chapter 365: The Road to a Better Future
In the dust, Liu Jingxin and the others squinted at the small mountain village not far ahead.
The village is not large, and you can see the end of the village almost from the head of the village, and there are many local villagers looking out curiously at this time.
The planner of this event ran to Chang Yisen and Liu Jingxin in small steps and said: "We have already said hello to the village party secretary here before we came, wait here, and he will pick us up later." ”
Chang Yisen nodded and said, "It's okay, don't worry." ”
More and more people in the village came out, gathered at the head of the village and looked at Chang Yisen and them from a distance, some sat and stood, and they gathered together in twos and threes to discuss with each other, as if they were all guessing Chang Yisen's identity.
Zhang Xun had recovered a lot at this time, he looked at the village for a while, frowned, and asked the innkeeper, "Why are there all the old people, women and children in this village?"
The proprietress explained: "All the people who can work in the village have gone out to work, and they can only come back once a year. ”
Zhang Xun nodded: "I see." Then he raised his hand and pointed in a direction and said, "Isn't there a road over there? Why don't we go that way?"
The proprietress said: "That road hasn't been repaired yet, and the village party secretary here is like something, so I don't let the car go at all." Let's go that way, maybe the old branch secretary will lead someone to fight with us!"
Zhang Xun was puzzled: "After building a road, isn't it just to go? Otherwise, why build a road?"
The proprietress spread her hands and said: "I don't know about this, I rarely come back, my parents were taken to the town by me, there are no relatives here, basically nothing to move around, I will come back when I go to the grave of my ancestors." ”
At this time, the event planner came over, called the proprietress into the car, and arranged for a driver to send the proprietress back to the town alone, while the rest continued to stare at the villagers from a distance.
Chang Yisen asked the event planner: "When will the village party secretary come over?"
The event planner said with a look of embarrassment: "He doesn't have a mobile phone, so he can't be contacted." But he knows that we are coming over today, and I guess he may be busy, so he should be over soon. ”
Everyone waited for half a morning, until noon, when the sun hung above everyone's heads, there was a "tutu" tractor sound in the distance. Everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came from, and saw a small black dot getting bigger and bigger, gradually revealing an old tractor.
The tractor was driven by an old man with gray hair, and there were several dirty workers behind the tractor.
"It's coming!" the event planner hurriedly greeted him.
The old branch secretary sat on the tractor and smoked, the engine never turned off, and after chatting with the event planner for a few words, he continued to drive the tractor to the village, and the event planner shouted behind everyone to get in the car and follow him.
"This old man is quite dragged!" Zhang Xun was a little unhappy, and began to complain as soon as he got in the car.
Liu Jingxin said: "Don't talk nonsense, when you don't know anything about them, you can't button your hat indiscriminately." ”
Zhang Xun pursed his lips, although he didn't say anything more, he was very unimpressed.
Led by the tractor of the old branch secretary, the long convoy lined up into the village, and finally came to the village branch at the foot of the mountain.
The village branch is very simple, there are only two earthen houses, the entrance is a large piece of sandy land, there is a flagpole not far from the earthen house, and the bright national flag is waving in the wind.
After everyone parked the car, they got out of the car again, but saw the village party secretary move a few plastic benches and walked out of the village branch office: "I can't sit inside, let's sit outside." ”
The number of plastic benches is limited, only enough for Chang Yisen, Zeng Shuang, and Liu Jingxin to sit, and the rest of the staff are gathered around.
In the face of the star, the old branch secretary did not show any nervousness or excitement, he held a cigarette and said to Chang Yisen: "On behalf of the people of Shanwan Village, thank you for coming to us to send warmth." I don't know exactly how your event is arranged?"
Chang Yisen smiled: "We are mainly here to see the children, the specific details have not been arranged yet, and I hope that the old branch secretary can help come up with ideas." ”
The old branch secretary frowned and said: "It stands to reason that you are here to give love, I should treat you well and assist you in completing the whole activity, which is beneficial to the children, and I should not find any reason to excuse me." But our village is now building a road, and this road is the hope of our village, and I can't be sloppy at all. Otherwise, I'll contact Teacher Hong at the school and let her take you with you then. ”
Chang Yisen nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you." ”
The old branch secretary got up and returned to the village branch office, everyone thought that he was going to use the landline to call the teacher Hong he mentioned, but after a while, the radio sounded in the village.
"Ahem...... Teacher Hong, Teacher Hong, if you hear it, please come to the village branch immediately!Teacher Hong, Teacher Hong, if you hear it, please come to the village branch immediately! Teacher Hong......"
After the village party secretary summoned several times in a row, he turned off the radio with a piercing scream, then locked the door of the village branch office, and came back to Chang Yisen and the others: "I'm going to hurry up and get food for the workers, so I won't wait here with you." Teacher Hong should be able to come over later, so you can wait a little longer. ”
After saying that, he really drove the tractor and left with those workers, and directly hung everyone in this open space.
"This guy seems to have an opinion about us?" someone complained.
"The devil knows what happened to him, we are here to give love, not to sabotage, who will show that long face?"
"That's it! The truth that the poor are poor, they deserve to be poor, and they don't understand the truth of how to behave in the world. ”
"Oh, you can't say that, the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, it's good to get used to it. ”
“……”
Listening to the whispered thoughts of the people around him, Chang Yisen frowned tightly, he was not dissatisfied with the old branch secretary, but with these people who were pampered in the city.
Everyone does not have the right to choose the place of birth, and everyone comes to this world from a different starting point. To be born as a human being, at least you must know how to respect others.
Don't look at Chang Yisen as a king-level superstar, but he has never looked down on anyone, only those bad human natures he looks down on.
I don't know when Mr. Hong will come over, Chang Yisen is idle, so he simply pulled Liu Jingxin and a few of them to chat.
"Do you know who paid for the road that was built? It's Lin Jie. If you want to get rich, build a road first, this road is not only to open up the township, but also to open up the road to Shanwan Township and a better future. Lin Jie said that the old branch secretary had promised him that he would never be greedy for a penny and that he would definitely repair this road. Seeing the performance of the old branch secretary like this today, I think I can tell Lin Jie and reassure him!"
