Chapter 1459: Milk
A sudden downpour brought not only coolness and comfort, but also the inevitable mud.
In large cities, this intensity of rain in the summer may cause sewer blockages and water accumulation in low-lying areas of the city, but in mountainous areas, a heavy rain can bring muddy roads and blocked traffic.
There are only more than 20 kilometers left from the village, but whether it is an RV or an off-road vehicle, there is no use.
The sound of huge raindrops hitting the roof of the car made Chloe, who had woken up from a sleep, excited, especially the two birds hiding under the trees on the side of the road to avoid the rain, which made her even more interested, and she stared intently.
The rain is getting heavier.
The rain was like a bead with a broken thread, and gradually became a rain curtain, until a man wearing a hat and a cloak waved to this side on the mountainside, and Xi Mengmeng, who was in charge of guiding the way, breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Zhengyi said with a smile. "What's the matter? I'm afraid I'm pointing the wrong way?"
"Well, I've been here once, and the people who came with me won't do it when they go back, saying that she had nightmares every day in those days here, and she would rather earn more money and donate to help these people, rather than face that kind of life and such poverty......"
Fu Zhengyi has seen the video materials shot by a small branch foundation, and of course the situation here comes more from the Internet and media reports, so he no longer expresses any opinions.
"Actually, I was quite desperate after I went back that time, I didn't expect that I had entered the 21st century, and there would be such poor and backward villages in this mountain, which even subverted my understanding and cognition of the word 'poverty'......"
Xi Mengmeng seemed to be introducing, and seemed to be talking to herself, and her mood was depressed.
As the rain faded and the birds flew away, Chloe noticed the man in the cloak on the mountain. "Daddy, Daddy, what's that he's carrying?"
Fu Zhengyi said. "That thing is called a backpack, and it is used to carry things and transport things......"
"Can you hold a lot of stuff?"
Fu Zhengyi thought about it before saying. "More than 100 catties should be no problem. ”
Xi Mengmeng turned her face and said. "A hundred pounds is more than that. The strongest mountain people here can carry more than 200 pounds. Generally, if you use liquid milk on your back, you need to stack six layers high, three boxes per layer, and the amount of one time is just enough for 20 children to consume for a month......"
Chloe frowned, lowered her head and said in surprise. "That child can only drink half a pound of milk a day......?
Xi Mengmeng shook her head. "Half a pound is not something you can drink every day. Only the children who come to class can drink, and there is no one on vacation. ”
Chloe was puzzled. "Why? Drinking milk is good for your body? I like to drink milk very much!"
"The milk is provided by your father's dairy, I don't know why it is done, you need to ask your father!"
Seeing that Xi Mengmeng deliberately pointed at herself after speaking, Fu Zhengyi glared at her and beckoned to Chloe, who was still sitting on the bed, and waited for her to come over before telling her that this was done for the sake of the children's bodies, and also to prevent some bad phenomena.
Chloe didn't understand, a look of confusion.
Mishasha, who was dragged over by Xi Mengmeng, also didn't understand. "Teacher Fu, can you tell me the reason?"
"It's not based on cost and transportation conditions, but only by ensuring that the children who come to school have milk to drink, can more children be sent to school to read and write. ”
Mishasha continued to ask. "That's the reason, so why don't you send more at a time?"
Another task of transporting milk is to ask the children if they can drink milk every time they go to class. ”
Li Xueyao, who had been silent since being dragged over, raised her head and choked out. "Teacher Fu, are you thinking too badly of people?"
The title changed, the tone was indifferent, and there was a bit of sarcasm in the tone, Fu Zhengyi glanced at her, and immediately avoided his gaze when he saw her, so he picked Chloe up and put it on his lap before explaining. "A bag of milk is half a catty, the cost is only four cents, but the process of transporting it into the village provides more than 30 jobs, and the cost has increased to more than one dollar, and the total value of carrying eighteen boxes at a time is about 1,000 yuan, which is not a small amount of money for some people with an average annual income of less than 500 yuan, in order to eliminate fraud and greed that may occur in the intermediate process, in order to ensure that the children in the village can drink milk, no matter how careful, cautious, and how bad people think, I don't think it's wrong......
Noticing that Fu Zhengyi's tone was a little heavy, Chloe raised her face and rubbed her palm against his cheek as a sign of comfort. "Dad, won't there be a problem if you do this?"
Mishasha spoke. "There is only the unthinkable, and there is nothing that cannot be done. As of last month, there have been more than 20 incidents involving more than 100 people. There are employees of the dairy factory, there are warehouse administrators, there are dispatchers who assign tasks, there are leaders in the local township, and even teachers and principals in the primary school......"
Li Xueyao was silent and lowered her head, while Mi Shasha exclaimed. "Really?"
Fu Zhengyi nodded. "Loyalty is because the stakes for betrayal are not big enough, and decency is because there are not enough temptations!"
Sensing that Li Xueyao was holding her hand and suddenly tightened, Mishasha realized that she was entangled, distressed, and hesitating, so she thought about it and said. "Teacher Fu, I always feel that you are an extreme pessimist, no matter what you think or do, you will first consider and measure from the worst perspective, wouldn't it be very tiring?"
"It's okay to be tired. As long as I don't disappoint the children here, the parents who send the children back to school, whether pessimistic or optimistic, the people who need help are helped, and those insatiable bastards have no chance to take advantage of it, and I am very happy, very happy, very satisfied!"
Mishasha suddenly. "I see, I see......"
"Sasha, don't look at each child only half a catty of milk a day, two or three yuan, each child only has more than 400 yuan of milk a year, but there are more poor counties in Xichuan, there are hundreds of thousands of children who have dropped out of school due to poverty, and the milk fee alone needs more than 100 million funds every year, and it is not easy to stick to it, not to mention that it is still close to the road and close to the prosperous area, if you go further into the mountain, the transportation cost of each bag of milk needs to increase a lot......"
Xi Mengmeng's narration made Li Xueyao, who lowered her head and listened carefully, feel numb......
