Chapter 4 Knowledge Changes Destiny
Although they have imagined the concept of poverty, for a few young people who have come out of the city, when they really see what Longjiang Village looks like, they realize that their original environment is undoubtedly a paradise compared to the people who have lived here for decades.
Duan Xu had always felt that his life when he was a child and even before he experienced the dream was already very hard, but now after learning about the situation in Longjiang Village and even the entire United Township, he found that he was wrong.
In a place where the per capita annual income is only a few hundred yuan, there is no need to say that the standard of living, even when Duan Xu's family was the poorest, it was not so exaggerated.
But this was the fact in front of him, and when several people were brought to the residence, they were all dumbfounded and dumbfounded as they stared at these things in front of them.
There were several thatched houses in front of him, and Duan Xu even suspected that if the wind and rain were a little stronger, he would easily become like Du Fu.
"This, can this live in people?" Lin Jing couldn't help but ask Tan Xue beside her.
For her, she has probably never seen such a place since she was a child, Lin Jing is really skeptical, can people really live here?
Tan Xue was relatively strong, glanced at the village chief, and then at Duan Xu, but did not speak.
Obviously, at this time, both of them regarded Duan Xu as their backbone.
This is the role of boys, many times, girls are weak, although they seem to be strong, but when they encounter something, their first reaction will be to look for the boys around them, hoping to get strength from them.
Duan Xu smiled and looked at the village chief: "Village chief, is this our residence, or is it a school?"
The village chief rubbed his hands together and looked apologetic: "This, Teacher Xiaoduan, this is both a school and your residence......"
Tan Xue and Lin Jing suddenly felt that the whole person was not good, they were ready to endure hardships and really face the hardship environment, those are two concepts, in other words, people often despise Ye Gong's behavior of being a good dragon, but the question is, if you look at it from another angle, who stipulates that if you like dragons, you must be bold?
Like and really face are two concepts, this truth, many people have not been clear.
Duan Xu chuckled lightly and nodded: "Trouble the village chief, you inform all households in the village, and the school will open in three days." ”
The village chief was stunned, originally thinking that this young man was likely to choose to leave directly when he saw the situation in the village, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't plan to leave.
"Teacher Duan, ...... you" The village chief hesitated, but still asked Duan Xu, he was really scared by those college students before, not that those children were bad, after all, having the courage to come here to teach is commendable in itself, but the problem is that the conditions here are really hard, and he even doubts how long those students can last.
Duan Xu waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's just that I can't see such an environment, I'm a little uncomfortable, don't worry, I'll stay." ”
No matter what the two girls thought, Duan Xu really planned to stay here.
Those who are familiar with Duan Xu should know that Duan Xu has always been the kind of person who does not easily promise others, but will work hard to do it once he does. Because in Duan Xu's opinion, there are gods three feet above his head, although he doesn't know if there are really immortals, but it is always right to keep his promises.
Now that I recognized myself as a teacher when I first came here, I have to fulfill my promise to stay here and teach these children.
"Okay, okay, in this way, you guys rest first, tell me if you need anything, I'll call someone to prepare. The old village chief was very happy, and his wrinkled face showed a smile like a flower.
Even if this young man lied to himself, he admitted it, anyway, he has been deceived many times, and it is not bad this time.
Duan Xu nodded, walked towards the thatched house, and when he entered the door, his brows furrowed, the furnishings inside were very simple, except for pots and pans, there was only one bed, and the other room was also about the same furnishings, thinking about it, Duan Xu turned around and went out, and said to the village chief and others who were about to leave: " Old village chief, can you please find us a few bedding, or I will give you money, you can ask someone to go to the township to help us buy it, several of us are northerners, the climate here is too humid, I am not used to sleeping in such a bed. ”
He is telling the truth, he may not be able to get used to the humid and cold climate in the south as a man, not to mention Tan Xue and Lin Jing, the two girls, if they sleep like this for a while, they will not be able to sit down, and it is not impossible to adapt to the water and soil.
The old village chief also seemed to understand what Duan Xu meant, and waved his hand with a smile: "Look at your politeness, how can you let a few teachers spend money, I'll take someone to the township to buy it." ”
Duan Xu looked at the sky and shook his head: "Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow, it's okay for a few of us to get together for one night today." ”
It was getting dark, and if something happened to him because of the purchase of some bedding, Duan Xu would not forgive himself no matter what.
"Okay, well, the ones who use my family first are all new. The old village chief smiled and said to Duan Xu.
Duan Xu nodded and glanced at Tan Xue and Lin Jing: "Do you have any requirements?"
"No, no. The two girls looked at each other, shook their heads, and said.
Just like Duan Xu said, once you come, you will be safe, and now it is now, even if you regret it, it is meaningless, it is better to settle down first. What's more, since the two of them chose to come here, they are not the kind of girls who have no ideas, how can a person with his own opinions change his mind easily.
The village chief and the others left, and while walking towards the village, a young man beside the village chief asked in a low voice, "Village chief, how long can you stay with these dolls?"
Obviously, he is not optimistic that these young people can last too long in the village, after all, his family knows his own family affairs, and the living conditions in Longjiang Village are too difficult, and those people in the city will not get used to it at all.
The village chief's brows furrowed, and he sighed in a low voice when he heard this: "No matter how long you live, let our children learn one more day." ”
"What's the use, if you want me to say, just don't study, how good it is to go out and work to earn money. I've heard that working outside the mountains can make a lot of money. The young man next to the village chief muttered quietly, obviously not paying much attention to the village chief's words.
"You know what a fart!" The village chief seemed to be a little angry, and with a kick on the young man's body, he raised his hand and hit: "You melon baby, you work for people, and your whole life is to tinker with the life of listening to people's calls, don't you study, you want to let the babies of your ancestors be cattle and horses, don't you?"
Sighing softly, the village chief said something that people outside the mountain had known for a long time, but the people in the village didn't know at all.
"Knowledge changes fate. ”
