Chapter 232

Li Meng was just about to carry the scattered firewood into the yard, and suddenly saw Chen Li standing under the small tree, he was also startled, and asked in surprise: "Are you too bored to be idle, follow me here." ”

"Heaven and earth conscience, how could I be so boring to follow you? I also came to Yinghe to do business, just now I was strolling around the film and television base below, and I saw your car going up the mountain, so I came to take a look, and I thought your family lived here...... Chen Li said.

Li Meng thought that Luo Rongmin went to Yinghe to serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee, and the Baiyun Mountain Film and Television Base was also a mess that was difficult to solve, Chen Liren was not strange in Yinghe, but he didn't want Chen Li to see all his secrets, so he blocked the gate of the courtyard with firewood, and had no intention of inviting Chen Li in, and said: "Oh, that's the case." ”

Chen Li cheekily said, "It's noon, you won't let me stand here hungry, right?"

The old man hugged the wood, looked at Chen Li curiously, and said to Li Meng: "Xiaomeng, here are the guests, why don't you let the guests into the house?"

Chen Li left Li Meng, walked in front of the old man enthusiastically, hugged the wood in his arms, and said, "Hello uncle, my name is Chen Li, and I am Li Meng's friend......

"Oh, Chen Li, this young man looks like a talent, you are from Shangdu, right? Go, sit inside, sit inside. The old man pulled Chen Li and was about to go inside.

"Principal Wei, you know who he is, you have to let him in, and you are not afraid of selling you?" Li Meng said to the old man.

The old man smiled and said, "How can Xiaomeng's friend be a bad person? Hurry up and enter the house, Teacher Liang knows that Xiaomeng is back today, and specially fried her favorite roasted eggplant." Pulled Chen Li into the house.

At this time, dozens of students from the back teaching building rushed over, and Chen Li saw that the room was also ready to eat, and the slightly older children were helping the teachers serve the meal, and then serve it table by table.

Each table is a large pot of vegetables, fried pork belly with potatoes, and then served with a plate of stir-fried mushrooms, although simple, the meal is quite nutritious.

The old man beckoned Chen Li to sit down with them and said, "I didn't know that there were guests coming, so I asked Xiaomeng to buy more vegetables at the bottom of the mountain and come back." ”

"He's not a VIP, it's nice to have potatoes to eat. Li Meng glanced at Chen Li and put a pot of rice on the table, "Eat as much as you want." ”

Chen Li called Zhou Bin and asked them to go back first, he got up and picked up the spoon, helped serve the food, and saw that there were forty or fifty children left in the house, and asked the old man curiously: "Principal Wei, does the school not stop classes during the summer vacation?"

"Our school is full of poor children in the surrounding villages who can't afford to go to school, their learning foundation is a little poor, and there are no tutoring classes and interest classes during the winter and summer vacations. "The surname is Principal Wei, his temples are white, I can't tell how old he is, he is very energetic, and his loose vest has some stains on it, which should be the traces left when he chopped and held firewood just now.

"Oh, how old is Principal Wei this year. Chen Li looked at the old man in good spirits and full of energy, and the traces of time on his face were also obvious, and it was not easy to guess his actual age, but after chatting after a meal, he also learned the general situation of Principal Wei.

This principal Wei was originally a retired teacher in Yinghe City, retired at the end of the 80s, and now he is 78 years old, he retired and could not stay idle at home, and he came to the Tanghe Primary School in the mountains in 87 years to teach, and stayed for 16 or 7 years.

Tanghe Primary School also has no school funds, Principal Wei himself does not take a salary, not to mention, he has also subsidized his retirement salary over the years, and even adopted disabled children who have been abandoned nearby, so that this place looks like a school and an orphanage:

"It's also thanks to Xiaomeng who grew up, and began to work in college, which can subsidize here, and after work, I know some friends who are interested in charity, and donate money and materials every year, not only the school has supported it, but also the asphalt road up the mountain was repaired last year...... I told her that people should pay for good deeds and build roads and schools, so they should also go to the mountains to see how they can see that their money is not in vain. You are Li Meng's friend, you also know these people, right?"

Chen Li knew that none of the Fang Yixin, Zhang Hongqing, Gao Junmeng and others that Li Meng knew would be willing to pluck out their hair for this kind of thing, the so-called construction of new school buildings, road repairs and the daily operating expenses of the school should be Li Meng's personal money from her, especially the cost of the asphalt road up the mountain is not low, and the cost cannot be less than 10 million.

He looked at Li Meng, who glared at him, not allowing him to tell the story.

Chen Li's mood was very complicated, if he hadn't seen it in person, he wouldn't have thought that Li Meng had these stories behind him, and after eating, he went to Principal Wei's side to smoke, wondering how Li Meng got in touch with this school, and why he would put so much effort into doing so many things for the school.

Li Meng was coerced by Fang Yixin and them last year, and the situation was not good, and he had to spend 10 million to build roads, and the pressure was definitely not light.

At this time, Li Meng came over with an axe, interrupted Chen Li to talk to Principal Wei, handed it over and said:

"There are two old roots out there, you go and chop them up for firewood. ”

Principal Wei saw that Chen Li was delicate, with fine skin and tender meat, where was the material for rough work, and said to Li Meng with a smile: "How can you let the guests work?"

Li Meng pursed his lips and said, "Then this meal is not for him to eat for nothing." ”

Chen Li picked up the axe, followed Li Meng honestly, and walked out of the yard to chop wood outside.

The climate in the mountains should be cooler, but now it has become very dull again, the mountains in the distance have long been covered by clouds, it seems that it is going to rain, Chen Li finished splitting the roots of the two old trees, and he was already sweating profusely.

Chen Li put the chopped firewood in the kitchen and stacked it, then walked to the well in the yard to fetch water and wash his face, looked at a dozen or so older children, who were about to go out with Li Meng, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, these students love art, they will be in the third year of junior high school next year, and they plan to go through art enrollment to enter high school, and Teacher Xiao Zhang and I are going to take them to collect style. Li Meng turned his head and looked at Chen Li, who was wiping his face, "If you have nothing to do, just go back, this job is not something you can do......"

"I'm going to stay in Yinghe for two days, and I don't know what to do. Chen Li put down the towel and followed Li Meng and them down the mountain pass.

When he went to the mountains, in addition to collecting wind and painting, Li Meng also took a few children to pick shriveled fungus and wild mushrooms, and after a long day, everyone finally rested by a stream.

The weather in the mountains was also strange, and you could see torrential rain pouring in the distance, but in the valley where Chen Li and the others were, it was clear and cloudless. There were two older children, who were more naughty, and ran to the creek to fish with stones, Li Meng didn't listen to them, only said that there were guests coming, and Principal Wei instructed them to catch a few fat fish and crabs, so that they could add food to everyone at night.

Chen Li also thought it was funny, walked down the stream with Li Meng barefoot, stood in the cool stream, and occasionally saw Li Meng leaning down, and he could see the tempting snow inside from the neckline.

"Have you seen enough?" Li Meng grabbed two crabs and threw them into the basket, seeing Chen Li still looking at her neckline, he glared at him, "Luo Rongmin came to you, didn't you ask you to help solve the affairs of the film and television base, do you have time to wander here?"

"The affairs of the film and television base are more troublesome, and Luo Rongmin also came here temporarily, and he didn't mean to let me help solve it," Chen Li waded over and sat down with Li Meng on a stone in the stream, and asked, "You and Principal Wei should have known each other for several years, right?"

"You don't ask about me. Li Meng glanced at Chen Li, and poked her snow-white slender feet into the cool stream and swayed, she was still not used to it at this time, and Chen Li knew too many secrets about her.

The hostility towards Li Meng in Chen Li's heart also disappeared cleanly at this moment, but thinking back to his impression of Li Meng in the past, he wanted to know more and more what kind of life experience would make Li Meng so multifaceted and changeable.

The two were speechless for a while, just sitting on the stream rocks, staring blankly at the mountain and the water, feeling that they were sitting quietly like this, and it felt quite good, and there were children laughing and noisy next to them.

Suddenly, Chen Li found that the water under his feet was kicked by Li Meng a little muddy, and after a careful look, he felt that something was wrong, and when he looked at it, the stream was still crystal clear just now, and the upstream was already a muddy yellow color, and the water potential was suddenly much larger than just now.

Not good!

Chen Li immediately stood up from the stone, his feet fell into the water, and he immediately felt that the impact of the water was much stronger than just now, he turned back to a volunteer teacher downstream, and shouted: "Teacher Xiao Zhang, the flood, the upstream flood is rushing down, quickly bring the child up,." After speaking, he pulled Li Meng up from the stream.

The speed of the flash flood was very fast, and before the two of them could stand firm on the shore, the section of the stream where Chen Li and the others were standing just now was already muddy, and the water surface was suddenly twenty or thirty centimeters higher......

"Come ashore, get ashore!" At this time, there was no room for a moment of hesitation, Chen Li rushed over while shouting, and took advantage of the fact that the water was not really big, and pulled up the two students who were close to the bank of the stream, but there was also a child about seven or eight years old, who was thin and weak, and was washed down by the water when he stood up, and he only dared to lie on the stone in the middle of the stream and did not dare to move, but the stone was only ten centimeters above the water, and it would be washed away by the flood after a while.

Chen Li stepped on the stones at the bottom of the stream, rushed over and carried the child directly, but he almost reached the shore, and his feet crapped violently. Li Meng and another volunteer teacher ran over and only had time to pull the child over, but Chen Li was suddenly swept down by the current, and after rolling twice in the turbid flood, the person was washed out seven or eight meters away.

Li Meng, who lives in this big mountain, knew that this torrent was coming quickly and violently, and seeing the upstream flood rolling like yellow mud soup, he couldn't stand up at all when he saw Chen Li rolling in the flood.

Li Meng ran down the bank of the stream barefoot, and when he saw an opportunity, he rushed down the chest-deep stream and pulled Chen Li's body.

With Li Meng's grasp, Chen Li was able to control his body, and saw an old tree on the other side of the stream that was half-lying in the stream, more than ten meters away from them, hugging Li Meng's body that fell into the stream, and swam over there along the water.

Before being swept over by the next wave of floods, they narrowly grabbed the branches, and the two climbed up the cliff unbearably, at this time Chen Li noticed that Li Meng's face was pale, squatting on the bank of the stream, opening his mouth to vomit water, only to know that Li Meng didn't know how to water at all: "You are crazy, you don't know how to water, such a big flood, dare to rush down?"
