Chapter Seventy-Four: A Drop in the Bucket
Wu Xiaojun's whole body was drenched like a chicken in soup, and the mud and weeds on his body were washed clean by a burst of rainstorm, and there was no stuffy and unbearable entanglement all of a sudden.
Bai Lingyan has been baptized by the rainstorm, her hair is full of crystal clear raindrops, her apricot face and peach cheeks are particularly charming and moving, the wet dress is tightly attached to her body, and her white and tender skin is covered with a thin layer of light veil, exposing her graceful and graceful curves, the white and tender sexy breasts are about to come out, the two jade legs are beautiful and attractive, and they are even more plump and charming, which makes Wu Xiaojun sigh secretly, as if Qin Meixiang is standing in front of him, her heart is murmuring, and she is salivating.
Unintentionally turning his head and finding Wu Xiaojun admiring himself in a daze, Bai Lingyan was suddenly cramped and uneasy, her face was flushed, hot, her heart was beating suddenly, she involuntarily raised her arms and hugged her chest tightly, bent over and curled up slightly, her eyes were shy and she didn't say a word, silently looking at the rushing rain on the road.
There seemed to be a raging flame in Wu Xiaojun's heart, passionate, unstoppable, nameless impulses and desires kept rolling back and forth, how much I hoped at this moment that Qin Meixiang opened her arms and smiled sheepssing towards her, but it could only be an illusion, something that could be seen and sighed and unattainable. He gritted his teeth, restrained himself, shook his head gently, tried his best to calm down the fluctuations in his heart, and transferred the natural and ridiculous non-divisive thoughts, and said without words, "This is really strange, it doesn't rain and is stingy like a loyal old turtle, the iron rooster is not pulling out a hair, generous but spending money like dirt, and it is like a note." I don't know when it will stop. ”
Bai Lingyan curled up, walked back and forth a few times, stomped her feet lightly, and said softly shyly, "Luckily, we came down from it in advance, if we were on the mountain path, there was not even a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so we could only let the storm fall, and we had no power to fight back, it would definitely be even more miserable." ”
Wu Xiaojun smiled uneasily, "That's right, it's not far from the residence, the road is relatively wide and smooth, it doesn't matter if it's a little late, there will always be a moment when the rain will take a breath and stop." How's it going, do you feel a little cold? ”
Bai Lingyan glanced at Wu Xiaojun, let go of her arms, squatted down gently, fiddled with her skirt with both hands, twisted the rain soaked in her skirt, pursed her lips and smiled, "It's okay, it's a hot summer, although it has been blown by the wind and rain, there is no cold, and it feels very fresh and cool." Don't worry, it's okay, just be patient and wait a little longer. ”
In the evening, the wind stopped raining, and the two dragged their wet bodies out of the grass shed, staggering all the way through the muddy and unbearable rainwater, and it took half an hour to get to the town.
The next day, the scorching sun was overhead, the mountains were dry, the cicadas were bursting, the frogs were chirping, and the heat was steaming, and the scorching heat of the past was restored.
After a night of deep sleep and recuperation, the two were refreshed and full of energy, and they came to the office of the town Youth League Committee just after eight o'clock. A slender and thin lady in her thirties, with a sickly face, was bending over and mopping the floor.
Bai Lingyan asked directly, "Is Secretary Gong Xuefen here?" ”
The lady straightened up and looked at the two of them, pursed her lips and smiled, "I am, what's the matter with you?" ”
Wu Xiaojun said, "We are students at Pingxi Medical College, and we were commissioned by the Youth League and County Committee to investigate the children rescued by the Hope Project. ”
Gong Xuefen hurriedly put down the mop in her hand, smiled enthusiastically and beckoned the two to sit down, poured water and served tea, and sat down after a while, and said a little guiltily, "I'm sorry, I was a little unwell yesterday and lost some fluid, I couldn't receive you in time, and let you run back and forth a few times, I'm really sorry, please forgive me." I have a list of children saved here, which will be helpful for your visit, so you can refer to it. As he spoke, he got up and took out the roster of fifty-one rescued children in the town from the Wen Jiàn cabinet and put it in front of the two of them.
Wu Xiaojun hurriedly said, "The public secretary is too polite, and you provide such a good convenience for us to carry out our work." ”
The public secretary was quite familiar with the situation of these children, and patiently introduced to the two of them which villages these children were mainly distributed, in what direction, the distance of the distance, how to walk, etc., so that the two of them knew in their hearts. Then the three of them discussed, most of the students live in the mountains without roads, the farthest distance from the town is more than 40 miles, if it is smooth, it will take four or five days to complete at the earliest, if there is an accident, it is difficult to complete it in ten days and eight days, only according to the first visit to the village where the people are more concentrated, and then go to the more remote villages, can not go back to this line of thought.
The two said goodbye to the public secretary, left the town government, inquired all the way, and spent about 40 minutes along the winding mountain path to the village named Linghou in the mountain col behind the town government.
The village is relatively large, with thousands of families in twists and turns, high and low, and the overall feeling is that most of them are poor, and it is rare to see new houses renovated.
Guided by a little girl, the two went to the village primary school and met the father of Benin, the first child to be visited.
Bei Shan is a private teacher who has been teaching for nearly 20 years, and although he is in his forties, he looks quite old and is cleaning the school with a broom. As soon as he saw the two of them, he immediately greeted them, and Wu Xiaojun briefly explained his intentions, and he warmly beckoned the two to a dilapidated low room behind a row of bungalow classrooms, where they sat in a very simple home. After a few simple greetings, Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan picked up their notebooks and pens and began to ask, "Teacher Bei, can you tell us about your school?" ”
Teacher Pei spoke elegantly and said unhurriedly, "Of course you can." As you have just seen, most of the infrastructure of our school is from the early 80s, the classrooms are dilapidated and almost dangerous, the desks are muddy, the benches are moved from their own homes, because there is no electric light, the morning self-study in the winter is lit with candles, and the evening self-study is never attended, and some courses are compressed due to time constraints, which affects the improvement of children's academic performance. ”
Bai Lingyan asked, "How is the situation of the school teacher?" ”
Teacher Bei sighed and said, "Don't mention, affected by economic conditions and concepts, many parents of children in the village are reluctant to let their children go to school, there are not many students in the school, and teachers with a little culture and level are not willing to come here. I'm really worried about the kids here. Teacher Pei burst into tears of anxiety and emotion.
Wu Xiaojun said, "What is the main reason for the economy and income here?" ”
Teacher Bei said helplessly, "The people here mainly live by farming, but farming all depends on the sky for food, which is not good at all." Take this year as an example, in the face of a severe drought, the crops have been harvested for three consecutive seasons, the villagers have little grain stored at home, the transportation is inconvenient, the summer grain is scarce, the price is expensive, the autumn crops have no hope, and some people rely on going out to work or digging coal kilns to earn some money to survive, and the peasants are not easy to live, and they are really poor. ”
Bai Lingyan said, "Can your children get help from the Hope Project to solve some school problems?" ”
Teacher Bei said with a wry smile, "It's a drop in the bucket, it's overstretched, it can't play any substantive role at all, and I can't afford to make up for the difference in expenses, and some parents of children still keep their children at home and don't let them study after they get the relief money." Still, something is better than nothing. ”
