For as long as I can remember, Secretary Lu has been a topic that people in the village can't get around after tea and dinner, and the adults say that he originally lived in a big city and voluntarily came to this remote village in order to improve his political performance. Maybe his motives when he came were not so simple, but he has indeed done a lot of things for the village over the years, and he has won the trust of the villagers, and unconsciously, Secretary Lu's term of office is gradually coming, but he doesn't seem to want to leave.

The respected Secretary Lu has a son, and every year during the winter and summer holidays, he will trek through mountains and rivers with the secretary's wife to see him and reunite his family.

As long as a new person comes to the small village, it will spread to the entire family in an instant.

The child is called Yuwen, as his name suggests, he is different from the wild children born and raised in the village, and the adults praise him as a showman. Although he can't climb trees, he can't climb mountains, he can't even distinguish wild fruits from poisonous mushrooms in the mountains and forests, and even a baby goat can arch him around. But the children in the village never dared to laugh at him, and under the influence of the adults, we subconsciously always felt that Yuwen was a great person like his father.

But to be honest, every time Yuwen comes, he can indeed open the eyes of the children in the village. Especially in the small box in his hand, which never leaves his body, he is always turning over tricks to stage different wonderful, sometimes fighting, sometimes exploring, and more often a string of inexplicable patterns.

He called it a game console, and said that all the children in the city had it.

"The children in the city, don't climb trees, don't climb mountains, don't pick wild fruits, do they play with this little box every day?"

"No, we do occasionally go singing and dancing or something......

"You can sing anywhere, we can hear bright mountain songs everywhere here~~"

"Uh...... It's different, it's a microphone, there's a TV, there's a ...... Alas, forget it......"

Presumably, the questions we always can't ask end up annoying him, just like people from two worlds, no matter how hard they try to explain, the result will only bring more problems. Gradually, Yuwen no longer answered everyone's questions like he did when he first came, but frowned and said a few casual words, and then buried his head in playing with his small box again. Gradually, Yuwen became like a regular visitor here, and was forgotten from the conversation of the people, only occasionally when he was seen walking around the village with the little box, they greeted each other.

After all, he is a child in the city, although in daily life, the friends can always feel the difference between each other intentionally or unintentionally, and even sometimes, we will think that he will hate to come to this small mountain village. But even so, every winter and summer holidays, everyone will still gather at the entrance of the village to welcome Yuwen and his mother back for another year, which seems to have become a habit engraved in the memory of us children.

"Ling'er, I brought you a gift~~" Yuwen shook a bright red bow in his hand.

Yes...... Yes, I almost forgot, Yuwen is the only one, to me......

It's not the same......

Perhaps because I was the youngest of the children, Yuwen was always more patient with me, and he would not frown even if he accompanied me to break the casserole and spend the whole day.

"Brother Yuwen, how do you know so many things?" the little girl asked with a confused expression.

"I don't know everything, otherwise I wouldn't have eaten the poisonous fruit last time, and I had a stomach for three days......"

"Hahaha......" Ling'er smiled happily, she remembered that the herbs that cured Yuwen were picked by herself with a bamboo basket on her back, "But you know a lot about the rest, I only know that there is a river behind the Gelao Mountain, and you also know that there is a sea in the distance, have you really seen the sea?"

"Of course I have seen a lot outside the mountain, one day if you go out of this mountain, you will also see a lot of new things, compared to this mountain, the outside world is much bigger~~"

"That~~ Can I go to see the sea?"

"Of course you can!I'll be able to take you there when the time comes~~"

"Really, say yes!"

"Okay, retractor!"

Because Yuwen took special care of me, over time, as long as my friends wanted to find Yuwen, they would let me pass the word, and because of this, I became a frequent visitor to Secretary Lu's house.

For a while, every time I went to the secretary's house to look for Yuwen, I could always meet him and the clan elders in the village discussing something together.

"Well, I said Secretary Lu, we understand your kindness, but we don't feel at ease to let the baby go so far, and you see that our ancestors have been here like this for generations, and there is nothing wrong with it......"

"However, sending the child to school will be able to make a difference in the future~~"

"Hi~~ Youdao is born and raised, people like us in the mountains, it's good to be able to recognize a word, speaking of which, I really have to thank Secretary Lu for teaching the children to read~~"

"It's easy to say, but I can only help with basic education, and in the future, I still have to go through the national formal education institutions to have the opportunity to take the exam......"

"That, it's not early, we still have to go back, let's talk about it today, we still have to think about it in the long run, right?"

Every time he finished sending off a guest, the secretary would frown, just like when Yuwen was impatient.

"Uncle Lu~~ Is Brother Yuwen here?"

"Oh, it's Xiao Ling'er, come on, sit down~~"

I happily climbed up to their table, because I remember that Yuwen's mother would always bring me some delicious snacks at this time......

Of course, while eating those unspeakable dim sum, I didn't forget the purpose of this trip.

"Isn't Brother Yuwen at home?"

"Well, he's ......," the secretary was looking through the documents with his glasses, "but he's doing his homework and the exam is coming soon, so he can't be sloppy...... You'll wait until he's done his homework and then play with him, right?"

"Oh......" I asked curiously, "Uncle, what is homework? What is an exam?"

"Uh, it's school...... the secretary's eyes suddenly lit up, "Uh, I said Ling'er, do you want to go to school?"

"Going to school?"

"Yes, there's a lot to learn in school...... That one...... I've heard Yuwen say that you want to go out of the mountains and take a look outside?"

"Yes, I want to see the sea!" the little girl innocently raised her hands.

"Then you should go to school!" Secretary Lu suddenly paused, as if he had swallowed something unpalatable, and then said, "Ling'er, are you willing to tell the clan elders in the village that you want to go to school?"

When I saw so many clan elders again, I heard that Secretary Lu's colleagues were coming, and everyone was going to greet them, and soon there was a sound of firecrackers at the entrance of the village.

I don't know what happened after that, but I remember that the secretary and the clan elders accompanied the fat man around the village, and then gathered at the secretary's house for a meeting. It's just that when the meeting was about to end, I said that my parents would take me with me.

"Oh, this is Xiaoling?" the secretary's fat colleague sat on a bamboo chair and kept wiping his sweat, "This age is too young, isn't it?

Secretary Lu lowered his voice: "She is the only one in the village who is willing to go ......"

"What?" the fat colleague looked at me in disbelief, "I said little girl, it's very hard to go outside to study~~"

"I'm going to see the sea!" I said stubbornly, "I made an appointment with Brother Yuwen, and I can go out of Gelao Mountain to see the sea after studying!"

"Yuwen?" the fat man smiled at Secretary Lu, "Isn't that your son?

Secretary Nuo Nuo said: "The two children have a good relationship~~"

"Haha~~" The adults in the room laughed.

"That's it......" The clan elder stroked his beard, touched Ling'er's head and said leisurely, "I think Ling'er is also half of your family, this girl is smart and talented when she is young, she is not a phoenix that can be held by a big mountain, if you want to fly, she will go~~"

"Okay, thank you clan elder~~" Without waiting for Ling'er to speak, Secretary Lu took the lead to thank her, "Ling'er is just the beginning, through her study path, she can arouse the topic and attention of the outside society here, and she will definitely get more funding to help the children in the village realize their dreams of going to school!"

"This ......" the clan elder spat out the smoke ring, "Alas, it's now that it's over, let's take a step at a time......"

In the joy of everyone, only my father accompanied my choked mother, and I felt as if I was doing something big.

"Okay, Lao Lu!" Behind everyone, I saw the fat colleague patting the secretary on the shoulder, "You can be regarded as a tiger's mouth, many policies on the Shaomin side are indeed complicated, but if you do the big thing of sending children in the mountains to school, you will definitely be given a lot of points, and you will be promoted ...... in the future."

"Let's not talk about this for now......" Secretary Lu pushed his hand away and glanced at Xiao Ling'er who was looking at him with fear.

"Haha, what do children know...... the fat man laughed, "You, everything is good, but you are too cautious, so you have always been neither up nor down all these years, and it is a good thing to send children to school! ”

Although I don't understand what the fat man grins at me, I understand that the peaceful life in the mountains is over for me
