Li Xueyao wiped the yellow handkerchief wet with mineral water carefully.

The little face was gradually wiped clean, although the two lumps of plateau red on the cheeks could not be wiped off, but the touch of timidity and hope in the other party's eyes still made the noses of the people present sour and their eyes red.

Leaking two toes, worn through the bottom of the cloth shoes, full of patches, loose coats, unkempt hair like a bird's nest, when I first saw this child, everyone thought that this was a naughty little boy, but who would have thought that when her face was wiped clean by Li Xueyao, it was a little shy little girl who revealed her true face.

The two warm wild eggs in the palm of her hand were her most precious treasures, and they were also taken out by her as a return gift to express her gratitude.

The scene in front of me happened in the second stage of the Yao Foundation's exploration journey.

The first village walked more than 20 kilometers and took half a day to arrive.

In the second village, it took a whole day for everyone to climb over two mountains.

This is the third village on the expedition, which departed the morning and arrived the next afternoon after an unforgettable night in the deep mountains and forests.

All the gifts that should have been distributed were distributed.

With a reed pole and a few dead branches, you can exchange candy, pencils, books and even small toys with those blonde foreigners, which can make the children in the village go crazy whether they go to school or not, and some children can't wait to move the whole firewood pile at home.

The adults in the village laughed shyly, restrained, and sour, and the two teachers who taught kept wiping their eyes with their sleeves in the face of this scene in front of them.

The villages I saw were getting poorer and poorer, and the geographical location was getting more and more remote, but the people in the villages were becoming more and more simple and distressing.

This little girl named Ah Cai came after all the gifts were distributed, Li Xueyao hugged her and asked slowly, inquiring, only then did she know that she and the other children were at the entrance of the village to greet everyone at the beginning, but when she learned that Meg's children needed to pay labor, or exchange things such as firewood, Ah Cai ran home in a panic, and finally came back with these two wild eggs, hoping to exchange them for some gifts.

"This baby is pitiful, Daddy is a fool, he went up the mountain to collect medicine and fell into the ditch and didn't get it, Mom is a mute, she knows how to serve the sheep in the family all day long, and treats the sheep as the root of life, and doesn't care about the two little babies in the house. A few years ago, she and her sister were so full of mountains and would only come back when they were hungry, and if the teachers hadn't let the two children live in the school, the sisters would have not known what they would have become......

The village chief sighed and sighed, but the little girl who received Chloe's gift laughed heartlessly, and the strong contrast made the hearts of the people present heavy.

It's the same fire pit, the same black big iron pot, the same game and wild vegetables produced in the mountains, but the tartary buckwheat wine with a lot of stamina in the village, Fu Zhengyi doesn't dare to touch it, and hides aside to take care of Chloe.

"Dad, why doesn't Ah Cai's mother leave Ah Cai and Ah Cai's sister alone? Aren't they her Ah Cai's mother's children?"

"Life is sometimes very difficult, those sheep are all the property of Ah Cai's family, and if something goes wrong, the whole family will be completely destroyed. Do you still remember what your father said to you? A penny is difficult for a hero! Even a hero will be stumped by a penny, and orphans and widows will of course not have the ability to resist fate and risks, so naturally they can only give up ......."

Chloe seemed to understand, but finally nodded reluctantly, indicating that she understood, but after a moment she couldn't help it. "But Ah Cai and her sister are very young, why does their mother think that taking care of the sheep is more important than taking care of the two of them?"

If the sheep are gone, then the days really can't go on!

But if she explains it like Chloe, how can she understand it when she has no concept of 'poverty'?

It's hard to pay justice.

Mishasha, who was sitting in the front, turned her face and pointed to the waterproof edging beside Chloe. "Chloe, what's in your bag?"

"There's napkins, there's lollipops, there's delicious biscuits, and milk, do you want to eat it......?"

Chloe did not reject Mishasha, and even deliberately wanted to show closeness, so she simply unzipped the waterproof bag beside her and handed it over, posing as if she was very generous.

"Wow, there are so many delicious things in it," Mishasha pretended to be surprised, took the waterproof bag and looked at the contents and nodded, then said with a bitter face. "Chloe, do you remember what Acai was wearing?"

"Remember, her clothes are very torn for a long time, and she has no pockets, so it's hard to hold things......"

"Ah Cai's clothes were changed by her mother with Ah Cai's father's old clothes, and the pocket was broken, so there was no more, and the teacher Zhang at the school wanted to change one for her, but she felt that the clothes on her body were made by her mother or worn by her father, so she would rather not go to school than change this dress......"

Chloe's eyes turned red, followed by large tears welling up in the air.

Mishasha panicked, she didn't understand what she had said wrong.

"Chloe misses her mother too, and her mother hasn't made clothes for Chloe......"

Chloe lowered her head, twisted her clothes with her hands, and muttered a few words, but then hugged Fu Zhengyi's arm and began to cry.

The suppressed sobbing sound was inaudible, but it was like a hammer smashed into Fu Zhengyi's heart, so that he couldn't help but have a sour nose, and reached out to pick Chloe up and return to the tent, comforting and comforting him, until Chloe was tired of crying, tired of crying, and fell asleep, he dragged his heavy steps back to the fire.

"Teacher Fu, I'm sorry, I think Chloe is quite sensible, so I originally wanted Chloe to know that some things are not what they see on the surface, but ......"

"It's fine. There are some things that Chloe has been holding in her heart, so it's good to let her cry and let her vent. ”

Mishasha became more and more guilty, she couldn't hear whether this was insincere, or if he really thought like this, and when she was struggling with what to do, Teacher Wang in the elementary school came to Xi Mengmeng with a bowl of tartary buckwheat wine and wanted to toast.

"Oh, Mr. Wang, I really can't drink......"

"Oh, this bowl of wine must be drunk! I thank you on behalf of the children of Jiuxiang 27 Village, if it weren't for your foundation, the children would not have returned to school, and if it weren't for the foundation, there would not be volunteers to come to our poor area to be teachers......

Xi Mengmeng was stunned for a moment before reacting. "Volunteers, are there any volunteers who come to the village to be teachers?"

"Yes, yes, I heard that there are a few foreigners, and they have been here for two or three years......"
