Chapter 902: Ordinary Greatness
Li Dong thought that the student's home was on a nearby mountain, but he followed it and realized that it was close to a mountain, and the two farthest students' homes had to climb three mountains before they arrived, and they could walk for two hours, and there was not even a decent road, which was a real mountain climb.
They are all eleven or twelve-year-old children, and in order to be able to go to school, they have to walk a total of four hours on mountain roads every day.
This kind of perseverance is definitely not something that ordinary children can have.
Seeing the child enter the house with her own eyes, Zhao Yan was a young woman who supported the education before she put her mind at ease, turned around and walked back the way she came, the sky was completely dark, and the night in the mountains was darker and darker, and Zhao Yan could only walk through the mountains with a flashlight.
"Do you have to send your children home every day?" Li Dong walked behind Zhao Yan, the other party was not tall, but his thin body seemed to contain infinite strength, he had walked for such a long time on the mountain road, and he had not rested for a moment, since the school started, he had walked for two hours, that is to say, if he wanted to go back to school, he had to walk for two hours to go back.
"Hmm. Zhao Yan replied casually, she walked very fast, all her attention was focused on the mountain road ahead, at her speed, it would not take two hours to return to school, but correspondingly, the physical consumption would be very large.
"Why, aren't you at ease?" asked Li Dong.
"Hmm. Zhao Yan's answer was very simple, without even superfluous explanations, and just kept her head down and hurried.
"Can't their parents come and pick them up?"
"People who live here have to run for their livelihood every day, and sometimes they can't even earn dozens of yuan in a day, where is the time to pick up and drop off their children?" β
Li Dong was stunned, but quickly understood what the other party meant.
Yes, if the children are allowed to walk on their own on such a long mountain road, parents will definitely not feel at ease, and they will not let their children go to school.
Along the way, he has seen many such situations, where eight or nine-year-old children do not go to school and stay at home to herd sheep, either because they have no money, or the school is too far away, and many parents do not pay attention to their children's learning.
"What if it rains? Isn't it dangerous?" asked Li Dong.
"Classes are automatically closed when it rains and snows, and classes are closed when it's too hot or cold, so the winter and summer vacations here are longer than outside, but children prefer to come to school. Zhao Yan suddenly thought of something, finally glanced back at Li Dong, and said with a smile, "By the way, thank you, the children like the football and basketball you gave them, there is just such a ball in the school, it was five or six years ago, although the children cherish it, but you have also seen the conditions of the school, no matter how good the ball is shot on the mud floor, it can't be played for long." β
Li Dong didn't know what to say after listening to it, the two balls he didn't want were regarded as treasures in the hearts of these children, and he felt a little sad when he imagined it.
"I'm in a hurry to come this time, and I don't know what the children are missing, I still have some pens in my bag, I'll give it to you when I go back, so I should give it to the children." Li Dong said, he remembered some spare pens that he had placed in his backpack all year round, and he didn't need so many anyway, so he would take them out for the children this time.
"Thank you so much, the most important thing the kids lack is pens. Zhao Yan said happily, "Although I bring it to the children every year when I come back during the winter and summer vacations, the pen is a consumable, and it won't take long to run out." By the way, Boss Li, you said that you passed by here, why did you pass by here? And I heard the children say, you came down from above to do a health check-up? Where is your top? Aren't you the boss?"
"Alas, there is no one else here, I'll tell you, I came out this time to treat people in places with poor medical conditions, and the reason why I said that I was sent from above to do a health census is because I am worried that others will treat me as a bad person and don't believe me. Li Dong sighed and explained.
When he said these words to the others here, everyone may not believe it, but when he said to Zhao Yan, the other party will definitely believe it, after all, the other party knows him and will not think he is a liar.
"I see. Zhao Yan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, looked back at Li Dong and said, "I've seen the news, you often treat people for free, remember last year for free treatment for athletes across the country, and later for free treatment for the elderly over 60 years old across the country, and also free treatment for the villagers in the village where your medicinal herb base is located, right?"
Li Dong looked at the young woman with an excited face, but he didn't expect that the other party would know about his own affairs.
"But why did you come out this time? And how inconvenient it is to go to such a remote place. Zhao Yan said curiously.
She has seen the news, every time the boss of the Oriental Miracle wants to treat people for free, there must be a line of people who go to see a doctor, and there are people all over the country, and some people even have to go by plane.
"My dad is an old Chinese medicine doctor, and my mom has been traveling outside the self-help in recent years, just don't spend any money, rely on treating people for food and accommodation, after he went home this year, he told me a lot of things about poor medical conditions in remote areas, which touched me a lot, I used to see people for free, many people are driving cars and planes, which shows that their conditions are not bad, and they can be cured in the local hospital, so I don't think they really need me people, as the old saying goes: good steel is used on the blade, so I came out this time to send my medicine to those who really need themγ Li Dong suddenly remembered something as he spoke, "Of course, the main thing is that I am worried that those who can't get in the queue will ask me to reimburse the travel expenses, haha!"
Zhao Yan was moved by Li Dong's righteous act, but when she heard the last sentence, she also laughed, at the end of last year, many people who went to Qingzhou to see a doctor but did not get in line asked Li Dong for round-trip expenses, which was known to the whole country at that time, and many people were upset for each other, and she was also one of them.
"Boss Li, you are so great, I really hope that there are more people like you in this world. Zhao Yan said sincerely.
"I'm not going to be great by what I'm doing. Li Dong shook his head and said, "In fact, in this world, there are many people who silently dedicate themselves but are not known to outsiders, they are truly great, just like you, the city hukou, the famous university, not enjoying the blessings in the city, but running to such a remote place to teach, you are still a woman, even I admire you." β
Zhao Yan was a little embarrassed by what Li Dong said, "I just want more children to read the tree, by the way, how do you know that I am a famous university with a city hukou?"
Belch......
Li Dong paused for a moment, and then said, "Of course, it's from the temperament." Of course, he won't say that he is familiar with it, let alone hukou and university, and even knows the measurements.
"Okay, let's stop blowing each other, let's hurry up, there are wild beasts in the mountains, and if you encounter them, you will be in trouble." Zhao Yan said and quickened her pace.
