124.Chapter 124: Seemingly superfluous

For no reason, my eyes were wet, and as soon as I grabbed his hand, I looked up and down several times, and then said, "You are really Zhang Zhe!" The voice couldn't help but choke a little, because this person who was about the same age as me had actually become like an old man. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I wasn't so pretentious, but the person in front of me couldn't help but shock me, you must know that he is less than thirty!

Wen Jing on the side was already confused.

After a long time, I came back to my senses, calmed down a little, and hurriedly said to Zhang Zhe: "This is Wen Jing, my fiancée!" turned back to Wen Jing and said, "It's called Brother Zhe!"

Wen Jing screamed very shyly.

Zhang Zhe also felt a little, but it was much better than me, he calmed down a little, and hurriedly led us to his home.

Zhang Zhe's home is on a hillside, and there are only three families around.

When we saw his home, we were truly stunned!

I saw that a house with an area of only more than 60 square meters was presented in front of us, it was made of stones, mud bricks and some wood, and the roof was even more outrageous, it was actually made of thatch and other things, which made people worry when they looked at it. From the front of the house, it seems to be divided into three rooms, with a hall in the middle, a bedroom on the left, and a miscellaneous item on the right.

On the left side of the house there is also a small house made entirely of stone, with some traces of smoke and fire, which should be the kitchen. There are also two small thatched houses on the back right, one seems to be a pig, and the other is presumably a thatched latrine.

Wen Jing, who had never seen such a situation, widened her eyes and opened her mouth. Seeing this, I hurriedly pulled her.

Before he reached the door, Zhang Zhe shouted: Yingzi, a guest is here!

After a while, a middle-aged woman who looked like she was in her forties walked out of the hall, holding a little girl in her hand, about two years old.

Zhang Zhe hurriedly introduced us and said that it was his wife. Wen Jing and I hurriedly went up and called 'sister-in-law'! Zhang Zhe's wife was very happy when she heard that we had come from Shenzhen, and said that it was rare for a distinguished guest to come to her door, and she would kill a chicken to entertain the distinguished guest at night.

I hurriedly stopped it, saying that we like vegetarian dishes such as wild vegetables in the mountains the most, because this kind of thing is very expensive and difficult to buy in Shenzhen.

Yingzi was a little unconvinced, and said how could it be!

Zhang Zhe said that it was so, and she believed it.

Because it was still early, Zhang Zhe said that he would take me to his school, where his eldest son was also located.

The school is far away from Zhang Zhe's house, almost three or four kilometers away. The three of them talked as they walked.

I asked Zhang Zhe how he was still so poor after so many years.

Zhang Zhe sighed and said that in addition to supporting his family, his salary also had to be subsidized to go to school, because many children's families were so poor that even three meals a day were a problem. He also said that if I hadn't supported him a little often, he would have been even more stretched.

I haven't seen him for ten years, but the heroic boy of the year has become a little old man, this life, it really can't be generalized. I thought to myself, and I was a little sad.

I asked him why he didn't rebuild his family's house, but Zhang Zhe's words made me even more embarrassed.

He said that it was not that he didn't want to get it, firstly, it would cost money, and he basically had no spare money, and secondly, he needed time, and he did not have time. Even during the winter and summer vacations, I have to run around for the children!

Usually, in addition to class, he has to go home to do some farm work, and his wife is also tired day and night.

Yingzi is very good, she has always supported her husband, and has never held him back. Zhang Zhe said that she fell in love with her character back then. Then he sighed again and said that as a man, failing to make a good life for his own woman was not a failure.

Wen Jing gave him an answer: The happiest thing in the world is not how well you live, but that you always have someone by your side who is willing to share everything with you!

Although she was persuading Zhang Zhe to say this, after listening to it, my heart suddenly struck: Listening to her meaning, she will follow me no matter what she does in the future? ! I can't help but feel a little guilty in my heart, after all, I have a big problem in my heart but I never dare to say it to her, and I can't say it!

Along the way, I saw nothing that made me happy, dilapidated houses, ragged children...... , I can't make myself feel better.

So he asked Zhang Zhe, why hasn't this changed yet?

Zhang Zhe sighed and said that in addition to the lack of work in some functions, functions, departments, and departments, the most important thing is that the people's ideology here has not been fundamentally changed, and the only way to completely change this place is education!!

Zhang Zhe's school is the only primary school within a radius of more than 10 kilometers, and now has more than 50 students, and he is the only official teacher, as well as three substitute teachers and two volunteer students. In fact, although the population density of this area is not high, there are many school-age children who should go to school, and less than half of the school-age children are currently in school!

When I heard this, I was shocked to say why the people here are still so old and stupid!

Zhang Zhe told me with a wry smile that he spent most of his time on this every year to persuade parents to send their children to school and prevent some children from dropping out of school.

Hearing this, I was very helpless, so I asked him if he would give up because of disappointment. Zhang Zhe shook his head and said no! He said that as long as not all the children do not go to school, as the years go by, the children who have gone to school will gradually affect other children, and as long as they survive this generation, then the next generation will definitely change greatly! He also believes that in his lifetime, he can definitely see the results!

After listening to his words, Wen Jing and I glanced at each other, and our hearts were a little gloomy.

When I got to the ground, I was even more surprised, what kind of school is this? It's basically the same as the cowshed in my hometown twenty years ago!

The so-called school is located halfway up a hill and is built along the mountainside. It covers an area of about 1,000 square meters, and there are no walls as we usually see, only vegetable fields and farmland around it.

The whole 'building' is actually only 'one', made of mud bricks, wooden beams, backed by a mountain, and is a small house with a bark roof. Of course, it is only one floor, and the height does not exceed three meters five. Judging from the distribution of doors and windows, the house is divided into five small rooms, each of which is about thirty or forty square meters.

The doors and windows have long been dilapidated, and basically do not have their original function. If the wind blows in winter, it is estimated that it is not much different from the ice cellar. In particular, those windows were only nailed with film, and they had long since aged and broken.

On the left side of the classroom is a rectangular stone straw hut with these long benches, a large stove and a large water tank. It seems that this is a place for children who are far away from school to eat at noon.

In front of the classroom is a relatively large open field, which occupies most of the area of this "school", which can barely be called a 'playground'. Outside the playground stood a tall bamboo pole, protected by several large rocks underneath, presumably to prevent it from falling. On the top of the bamboo pole is a national flag fluttering, which is already a little faded.

At the moment, the children are in class.

Zhang Zhe hurried back knowing that we had arrived.

I approached the classroom and looked through the torn film, where there were about fifteen or sixteen children in one of the classrooms. The place near the door of the classroom is the lectern, and there is also a national flag hanging on the wall behind the lectern, and a large black wooden board is leaning against the wall by two pieces of wood, which is a blackboard.

Looking at the children's desks again, they are really varied, all of them are messy all kinds of wooden tables, and the stools are even more outrageous, except for some small wooden stools that can barely be counted, and a few children are actually sitting on a few stacks of bricks. The children's clothes are basically indescribable except for rags!

On the podium was a young girl, who seemed to be one of the students who came to teach in Zhang Zhe's mouth.

I looked at the other classrooms and they were the same. At that time, I couldn't stand it anymore, I felt an indescribable awkwardness in my heart, and finally realized Zhang Zhe's persistence and helplessness.

Before the end of class, I asked Zhang Zhe to continue the class, and I took Wen Jing to the edge of the playground to smoke.

"Silly melon, why is it so poor here?!" Wen Jing's words were in a thick nasal voice.

When she looked back, she found that her eyes were already red and swollen. I sighed, "A lot of things in the world aren't perfect!"

"So, should we help them?" Wen Jing sniffed.

I laughed and said, "You think I brought you here just to have fun?!"

Hearing this, Wen Jing finally burst into tears and laughed, and gently slapped me: "I know that you are not so kind to take me to play." How are you going to help?"

"I have already discussed with Zhang Zhe, adding the ill-gotten gains we have plus some of our own money, about three million, to build a new primary school, which will be equipped with electric classrooms and libraries, and the rest will not be said!" I said lightly.

After listening to me, Wen Jing's eyes widened, and she looked at me fixedly for a while, and suddenly rushed up and kissed me!

"Is this a reward?" I glanced at her.

Wen Jing grinned and said, "That's right, because you made me very satisfied!"

"That doesn't seem like a reward!?" I sighed.

"What else do you want?" Wen Jing rolled her eyes and puffed out her cheeks.

"I haven't figured it out yet!" I smiled, "What if I could have done better?"

"If you want any reward, just say it!" Wen Jing was a little impatient.

"It's a big reward, I told you are really willing to give it?" I laughed.

"Stinky stupid melon, I'll strangle you if you sell it again!" Wen Jing snorted, and then said seriously: "Anyway, as long as you do well, this palace will be gracious!"

"What did you say!" I whispered with joy and said slowly, "I want you to marry me!!"

Wen Jing's face immediately turned crimson, and she immediately kicked it over, and said angrily: "You stinky rascal, I know that you are not well-intentioned!"

I dodged again and again: "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth!"

"But I'm a woman, not a gentleman!" Wen Jing grinned, kicked again, and kicked it squarely, hurting my teeth.

The two of them quarreled for a while, and then they saw that the children had finished class.

The children who came out of the classroom were all wild and played with a lot of tricks, but there were basically no recreational supplies, either stones or mud, and the best thing was a dilapidated basketball that had been deflated, and there were still a bunch of children chasing around.

I didn't dare to stay too long, and I was going to go back to Zhang Zhe's house first, because I couldn't stand it anymore.

Zhang Zhe said that he still has a class, so let's go back first.

In the evening, after we waited for a long time, Zhang Zhe came back and said that there were a few children who needed to be sent off for a while, because there was a small ditch on the road, which was more dangerous, and we had to watch it.

Wen Jing and I were silent.

After dinner, Zhang Zhe said that the house was too dirty and small, so he arranged for us to live in the village party secretary's house.

It is estimated that Zhang Zhe has already discussed with the branch secretary, so he has already made some arrangements when we go to his house.

The village party secretary should have known my intentions and was very enthusiastic.

When I arrived at his house, I saw that except for two more rooms, it was not much better than Zhang Zhe's house.

Over the next few days, we discussed the new school building for a long time before the decision was finalized. Zhang Zhe also found a friend of his to help with the design for free, saving a lot of money.

That night, Zhang Zhe's family and we had dinner at the village party secretary's house, and before seven o'clock, they went back first. Because there was nothing to do next, Wen Jing and I began to chat with the village party secretary about some anecdotes, but then, we heard an unbelievable strange thing!

I didn't pay much attention to this strange thing, until a lot ...... happened.
