Chapter Ninety-Four: The Thickness of a Book
Baliwan Township is not big, there is only a very narrow road in the township, there are thousands of ravines and ravines unique to the loess landform of the Qin dialect area, and there is also the unique simplicity of the people on the loess.
When we arrived at the township, the township leaders who had been contacted in advance were already waiting for us, and they arranged for us to enter the township primary school. A special person will take us to understand the situation of Baliwan Township. Speaking of Chen Bailu, Zhang Baoguo, a teacher in the township primary school, has a deep memory. said that the girl helped Wangjiagou Primary School a lot.
Zhang Baoguo told us that Chen Bailu was the first batch of young teachers to come to Baliwan to teach, and many of those people left for various reasons after arriving for less than a month, and only Chen Bailu left after successfully completing the teaching task for half a year in the local area.
At that time, he was also in Wangjiagou Primary School, and watched Chen Bailu change from a white little girl to black and thin. Speaking of Chen Bailu, his words were endless, without exception, all of them were heartfelt praise.
Zhang Baoguo also said that since Chen Bailu came, the education system in the township has received many donations, and every year there are teachers who come to teach.
He pointed to the two rows of teaching buildings behind him and told us that these buildings were newly built last year, and the previous teaching buildings were very dilapidated. If it rains, I don't dare to let students study inside.
Wang Weilan listened carefully and asked him where the previous teaching building was, if he had picked it up
Zhang Baoguo shook his head and said no, he was still outside the township
Wang Weilan's eyes were overjoyed, and he said that he would take him to see it tomorrow.
The next day, Wang Weilan and his entourage were watching the real scene around the township, and I borrowed a motorcycle from Zhang Baoguo, wanting to go to Wangjiagou as he called it to see the primary school where Chen Bailu had stayed for half a year.
Following the route given to me by Zhang Baoguo, I stepped on the loess road, passed through several hills, and saw a few families in the mountain col in the distance, and at the bottom of the mountain there was a small white building with a five-star red flag fluttering on the small building. It should be Wangjiagou Primary School.
When my motorcycle arrived near the small building, it was class time, and I quietly came to the campus without alarming anyone, and looked at the Jingjing students sitting inside through the window.
On the podium stood a girl about my age, wearing black-rimmed glasses, teaching the students to memorize Chinese textbooks.
When the bell rang for the end of class, students poured out of the classrooms to play in the small square in front of the school building, and the female teachers also came out of it. Accompanying the students to play the game of eagle catching chickens, looking at the cheerful smiles on their faces, I couldn't help but wonder if Chen Bailu was like this back then
The governess finally spotted me standing in the corner, and when she saw that I wasn't dressed like the villagers around me, she asked me what I was doing, and I explained it to her and asked her how her life was like here. Servant Jieli.
She smiled and said it was fine, and I asked her how the school was funded.
She said that there may have been people who embezzled money in the past. But in the past two years, the donors have learned to be shrewd, only donating materials and not money, and the students can have a free lunch at school at noon.
I hesitated to ask her, how do you feel about your own volunteer teaching life?
She didn't hesitate, she opened her mouth and came, very happy
At this time, a **-year-old boy called her, Teacher Yuan, let's have a music lesson next time
The young woman who was called Teacher Yuan smiled and said yes, and then continued to play games with the students.
I walked around the nearby hill, and when I returned to school and wanted to leave, I found that it was just lunchtime, and the students were queuing up to eat, and Teacher Yuan and a middle-aged woman were standing in front of a large pot of food, filling each student's bowl with white rice.
With the donation of the Lunch Program in the past two years, the lives of students in poor mountainous areas are really changing quietly.
I suddenly burst into tears, and I felt the urge to donate all my belongings, but when I thought that I was poor, I smiled awkwardly.
At noon, the students were lying in the classroom for a lunch break, and Teacher Yuan chatted with me for a while when he saw that I hadn't left yet. She told me that spiritual barrenness is the deadliest thing compared to material barrenness.
Many of the students here stop studying after finishing primary and junior high school, and when they reach the age of 16, they go to the coastal area to work, before which they have not seen the world of flowers and flowers, and only after they have really seen it, they realize their own insignificance, and also understand the importance of knowledge, but once people have seen that kind of world, it is difficult to return to this yellow earth.
There are many students who do not give up studying because their families are poor, but in the eyes of them and their parents, knowledge may not necessarily change their fate, and part-time work can change their lives.
Teacher Yuan's words made me dumbfounded, she continued to tell me, saying that a parent also calculated an account with her, saying that if the baby goes out to work for three years and learns a craft in seven years, she can earn at least two or three hundred thousand yuan, and when the time comes, she will buy a house in Huining, marry a mother-in-law, and have everything, what is the use of going to school
Teacher Yuan also said that now the country has a loan policy, and many people can't afford to go to school not because they are poor, but because they don't understand the importance of learning. Of course, there are also a small number of people who are indeed in family difficulty, but as long as they apply for family difficulties, they can get subsidies or loans.
I thought about it carefully, and my heart is really true, going to high school and seven years of college, it is really not as good for them to learn a craft abroad.
On the way back, riding Zhang Baoguo's motorcycle, when I climbed a mountain, I stopped the motorcycle, lit a cigarette and looked around, thinking that I suddenly had an absurd idea, maybe between the city and the countryside, there is only the thickness of a book.
When I returned to the township, I called Wang Weilan, he said that he was at the gate of the township government, and when I rushed over, I found that there was a group of people surrounded by the gate of the township government.
I walked over and took a look and found out, damn it, this grandson is choosing actors.
Because we are a commercial film, we don't need many shots of people, but we also need a few simple villagers to enter the camera, so we plan to use the local people and let them star in their true colors, but I didn't expect Wang Weilan to be selected at the door of the township government.
And looking at the crowd of people, it is estimated that the people in the entire township have come to see the excitement.
I asked Wang Weilan what was going on, he sighed and lowered his voice and said, don't mention it, I originally wanted to see the location today, but I don't know who leaked the news that there was a movie crew in the township and wanted to recruit actors, but all the people came, blocking us here, and we couldn't leave.
I thought to myself, yes, wait
In the end, it was the people from the township police station who let everyone disperse, so we were able to get out, and when we returned to the township primary school, Zhang Baoguo had already set up dinner, and there were chickens, ducks and beef on several tables, which looked very rich. The two beauties beside Zhang Baoguo saw that they had good things to eat, and their eyes lit up.
They hadn't eaten much for more than a day because the food was unappetizing, and now they were hungry and saw meat, could they not be happy. As a result, as soon as they tasted the meat, they vomited it at once, because the taste was really bad, but it could be seen that Zhang Baoguo had put a lot of effort into arranging this meal.
There were also a lot of people at the dinner, and I wanted to refuse, but I thought that this was a kindness from others, so I pulled Wang Weilan, Sun Xue and a few people in the crew into the table.
As a result, the meal was not eaten, the wine was drunk first, the people who came over were all wine putty, and they didn't want to die when they drank the wine, and the wine of fifty-six degrees was drunk in a bowl, and I was dumbfounded, but Wang Weilan did not refuse to come, and they drank happily, and I also drank a little, and then I borrowed urine and ran away.
Wang Weilan drank a wine until more than eleven o'clock in the evening, he didn't go back to his room, and sneaked into the room of the two beauties, probably trying to get the matter.
I also drank a little too much, lying on the bed squinting and about to fall asleep, the door creaked open, I turned up to take a look, and found that it was Sun Xue.
Sun Xue stood at the door with a pillow in her arms, and when I asked her what was wrong, she pointed to the next door.
I just thought that Sun Xue was in the same room with those two beauties, Wang Weilan went in and gave those two beauties hehehe, Sun Xue naturally would not sleep in the room anymore.
But seeing her like this, it seems that she wants to sleep in my room.
I don't mind, because it's a bunk bed, so it's a big deal that I can sleep in the top bunk.
Sure enough, after Sun Xue came in, she locked the door of the room, and didn't let me who was lying on the bottom bunk move, so I climbed to the top bunk and lay down.
After she came in, I was a little sleepy, so I asked her if there was any news from the company today, and she said that there was no important news, all of which were the advertising projects of some cooperative companies that had been implemented, and she had sent someone to see them on the spot.
I nodded and said, yes, when this ad is almost done, you can go back.
Sun Xue didn't speak, I smiled and said, you have been on a business trip for so long, and your husband must not worry about you.
Hehe, Sun Xue smiled and said: "If you go on a business trip with me, Mr. Chen will rest assured of you"
She choked me back with a word, and I was decisively silent.
At this time, she took out her mobile phone and played a song, Kim Minqi's years of thieves, the night was empty, and the room was ringing with music from her mobile phone:
Time is something that catches people off guard
It is sunny and sometimes windy, sometimes rainy
I can't fight for the day and think about the past
stole the green silk but kept one of you
I lay on the bottom bunk, quietly listening to the music on Sun Xue's mobile phone, and neither of us spoke.
The night was silent, and after getting up the next day, Sun Xue went out of my room, Wang Weilan threw me a lewd smile, squeezed in and asked me, Brother Qi, did you turn the sky up last night
I thought to myself, Uncle You, she played a song for half the night, and the noisy Lao Tzu couldn't sleep.
I discussed it with Wang Weilan, and decided that today the two of us officially started looking for actors, and the camera took the rest of the people to shoot some scenery shots about Bali Bay, and Wang Weilan said that there was no problem.
After breakfast, Wang Weilan called the two beauties, I called Sun Xue, and the group of five officially set off.
I had already circled the neighborhood on my motorcycle yesterday, and I decided to go to the surrounding villages to choose people, so the first place we went to was Wangjiagou Village, which I visited yesterday.
After arriving in Wangjiagou Village, Wang Weilan threw me a camera and told us to split up, take some photos, and select the actors when we go back in the evening.
Holding the camera and taking Sun Xue with us, we entered Wangjiagou in two ways, knocked on the door door from door to door, explained to them that we were from the film crew, to see if there was a suitable person who could enter the camera, we need to take a photo of you first, and we will slowly select it when we get back.
The villagers were very happy and even took the initiative to take us from house to house.
Along the way, Sun Xue was silent next to me, and when I was about to take a picture of a five-year-old girl, I picked up my camera, and Sun Xue next to me suddenly said, "Let me come"
I turned my head to look at her, then at the nervous little girl, took the camera off my neck and handed it to Sun Xue.
Somehow, the little girl who was nervous in front of my camera showed a sincere smile in front of Sun Xue's camera.
After the shooting, Sun Xue handed me the camera, and I turned my head sideways and asked her, "You have learned photography before"
Sun Xue smiled and didn't say anything, and after we went around Wangjiagou and returned to the car, we saw that the car was trembling and shaking from afar, as if it was on the earth.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that Wang Weilan must have been those two beauties in the car again.
I turned my head to look at Sun Xue and saw that she was also looking at me.
The moment we looked at each other, we both blushed.
