"This ...... Is it a village?" Chen Feng asked, pointing to the dozens of families in front of him, he knew that there must be very few people without going in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Yes. Yang Yong nodded and explained, "The land here is barren, the mountains are undulating, and many places are deserted. Of course, these dozens of households are not all, and there are some people who live more remotely, some are halfway up a certain mountain, some are at the foot of the mountain, and there is a family within a radius of several thousand meters. ”

Xiaowen asked: "Don't those people go out? They live in such a remote place, why don't they move, even if they move to this village, it is better to be with everyone than to be alone, right?"

Yang Yong shook his head and said, "Usually they rarely go out, and they will go to the township to buy some daily necessities every time they are in the market, and they have to walk for several hours each time." Starting from dawn in the morning, when I arrived in the township, I had to walk for several hours to buy things, and it was basically dark when I returned to my home. ”

"In fact, I used to wonder why they didn't move. Later, I learned that there was a reason why they lived in such a remote area. The land here is barren, there is very little land to grow on, and their families are all handed down from their ancestors, along with the surrounding land. One of the reasons why he is reluctant to move is because he has no money to buy a new home, and the other is that he is reluctant to leave the land of his ancestors. ”

"So. Nie Ping suddenly said curiously: "Those lands, I mean, how much money can a family earn a year from planting?"

"A few thousand. Yang Yong said, "This is still gross profit, labor costs are not counted, except for seeds and fertilizers, and the net profit is not so much." ”

"You think, whatever you grow corn or rice, it will only cost about one pound of dollars, and a family can collect thousands of pounds a year. Thousands of pounds, thousands of dollars, but they have to carry it back from the mountains little by little, there are no roads, no cars, to be honest, if I am allowed to go, I will definitely not be able to stand it. ”

"It's too hard to farm, and the income is not high, so many people go out to work. ”

"However, it is not easy to go out to work, and the people here are generally not highly educated, many of them have only graduated from primary school, and the younger ones have graduated from junior high school. With such a level of education, it is true that you can't find any good jobs outside, and your income can only be said to be average. ”

"I don't save much all year round. However, in the eyes of the villagers, it is still much more cost-effective than farming at home. Yang Yong said, parked the car at the entrance of the village, and took Chen Feng and them into the village.

At this time, it was just noon, and wisps of cooking smoke began to rise in the village, and some children in the village saw Yang Yong and pounced happily.

After a while, a group of children surrounded Yang Yong, kept calling uncle, Yang Yong took out some candy for the children, a group of children were very happy, peeled off a piece of candy and ate it slowly, or licked, because they were reluctant to eat it all at once.

A group of children looked at Chen Feng, Xiaowen, and Nie Ping curiously, a little afraid of life.

Yang Yong looked at Chen Feng, Chen Feng smiled slightly, and walked in front of a six or seven-year-old girl, the little girl's clothes were a little shabby, and some places had opened the line. For example, the cuffs and collar have been seriously worn, but they are very clean, the appearance is delicate, and the eyes are big and exceptionally clear.

"Little friend, we are your Uncle Yang's friends. Chen Feng stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "My name is Chen Feng, you can call me Uncle Chen, what is your name?"

The little girl glanced at Yang Yong, and when she saw Yang Yong nodding, she replied, "My name is Xiaofang." ”

"Xiao Fang. Chen Feng asked again, "What grade are you in?"

Xiao Fang squirmed a little, lowered her head and said, "I haven't gone to school yet." ”

Chen Feng was stunned and looked at Yang Yong, Yang Yong said: "There is no kindergarten here, Xiaofang is only six years old, and she has not yet entered elementary school." ”

As he spoke, Yang Yong pointed to the seven or eight children here and added: "These children have not yet gone to school, and some of the older ones go to school in the primary school in the township, and they have to walk for several hours every day, leaving before dawn in the morning, bringing lunch, eating at school at noon, and walking back a few hours after school in the afternoon." By the time it started to get dark, the children were almost back. ”

There is no kindergarten here, only an elementary school, and it takes a few hours to get there, and the children have to walk back and forth every day, leaving before dawn in the morning and returning home at night.

Chen Feng was silent, Xiaowen was already red-eyed, and Nie Ping couldn't stand it.

Seeing that Chen Feng's expression was a little strange, Xiao Fang hesitated, stretched out her hand, there was a piece of candy in her palm, and sent it to Chen Feng and said, "Uncle, eat sugar, you will be happy if you eat sugar." ”

"Xiaofang, you eat, uncle has a toothache and can't eat sugar. Chen Feng smiled, watching Xiao Fang bite the candy cube in small bites, he only felt that his eyes were sore, and there was an indescribable depression in his heart, like pressing a big stone, out of breath.

The village was not large, and the news of the arrival soon spread throughout the village, and some old people also rushed over.

Seeing that there were more and more people, Chen Feng simply asked Yang Yong to take everyone to the car to move things, and moved homework books, pencils, erasers, rice grains and other things.

As for how to distribute, Chen Feng didn't bother, Yang Yong didn't come for the first time, he knew the village very well and knew how to distribute.

After a while, everyone received some things, and thanked Chen Feng for a thousand kindnesses, and many people invited Chen Feng to be a guest at home, Chen Feng looked at Yang Yong, and finally decided to go to Xiaofang's house.

Xiaofang's parents went out to work and won't come back until the Chinese New Year, only she and her grandparents are left at home, and the two old people are in their fifties, but their faces are already full of wrinkles and their hair is gray, but they are very good and very enthusiastic about Chen Feng.

Xiaofang's house is also a mud and stone structure, with a total of three rooms, one is an "open house" with an open door, which is the so-called living room. In addition, there is a room on the left and right, where Xiaofang's grandparents and Xiaofang's parents live, and there is a small shack made of earth and stone on the side, which is the kitchen.

At the back of the house, there was a shack, in which there were two pigs and a few chickens, and a foul smell was blowing along the wind, which was very pungent, Xiaowen and Nie Ping frowned immediately.

"Does it smell bad?" Chen Feng glared at the two of them.

"Nope. ”

"Still, okay. ”

Xiaowen and Nie Ping shook their heads repeatedly, their faces bitter.

In fact, Chen Feng also felt that it smelled bad, but he knew that he couldn't show it, otherwise it would hurt the self-esteem of Xiaofang's family, so he endured it, pretended to be relaxed, and took Xiaofang's hand and walked into the "open house".

Xiaofang's grandfather accompanied Chen Feng to talk, Xiaofang's grandmother killed chickens and washed vegetables, and Xiaofang was also helping her grandmother on the side, very sensible.
