On the Loess Plateau, the yellow sand is flying all over the sky, and the song of Xintianyou floats among the hills and mountains.

After a long time of bumps, the off-road vehicle stopped in a small mountain village, and still failed to break free from poverty in the mountain village, still retains the simplicity of the revolutionary period of going up the mountain and going to the countryside, and the economic development seems to have never covered here, and the mountain villages dozens of kilometers away have been very modern, and the road in front of the door can go straight to the entrance of the village, but it still retains the appearance of decades ago.

Zhang Shidong came, and took a group of pampered young masters and young ladies to the hometown of a comrade-in-arms in the ninety-ninth place, the poor township in the poor county, the most remote poor village in the poor township, don't look at the poverty here, it was once a red cradle, and the history of the village is very legendary, enough to be a separate book, and there will be quite a lot of people worth writing about.

It's such a place, but it has not been able to develop under a variety of policy tilts, it is still poor, and the problem of power supply is solved that is barely in line with modern times, electricity can be used every day, and the TV can only receive a few units, and the family who buys an external antenna is happy.

The two cleaned caves have been thoroughly cleaned, and they are spotless compared to other homes, but in the eyes of this group of young masters and young ladies, they are so tattered and dirty that they don't even have a place to put their feet.

Especially when someone saw the simple toilet more than ten meters away from the door, it completely collapsed, and the toilet built of wooden planks was newly repaired and wrapped with a layer of linoleum on the periphery, otherwise the gap between the wooden planks could not be completely closed.

"For the time being, we'll stay here."

"Ahh

"No, it won't. Comrade Zhang, we were wrong, we shouldn't have mixed the wine we bought for you yesterday with other wine, you have a lot of it, let us go. ”

"Brother Dong, Uncle Dong, Uncle Dong, don't be like this, our little heart can't afford you to toss like this."

Facing the frantic shouts of a group of people, Zhang Shidong raised his eyelids: "Okay." It's good that I didn't let you work in the fields. I have prepared enough rice, noodles, vegetables and meat for you, but I will take care of you, do you want me to send away all the food and get paid for your work every day? ”

"Don't. Other. Uncle. We admit it, don't we just live? It's a big deal to lie down on the kang when I'm full, and I don't believe it. It could really keep us here for the rest of our lives. The little fat man who was the first to speak in class before walked into the cave of the big kang in a sluggish manner, and the new kang leather was laid on the earthen kang, and the bedding was new, which also appeased everyone's not too strong hearts to a certain extent.

Nine boys, four girls, plus Zhang Shidong and that comrade-in-arms Lao Lu, in the strange eyes of the villagers in the village, officially set up camp here, bumpy all the way, after laying the bedding, they all got into the bed, and fell asleep in the cursed scolding, but they didn't know that even in summer, the soil kang needed to burn a certain heat, so as not to cool up, and they did not have the slightest curiosity about the fans that appeared in the cave, and enjoyed it peacefully.

"Chief, how have these children endured such hardships, can they do it? If this is sick, we ......" Lao Lu and Zhang Shidong squatted at the door, asking with worried faces.

"Light a fire for them, be prosperous, and give me a warm awakening." Zhang Shidong snuffed out the cigarette butt, stood up and walked to the village chief's house in the distance, he planned to have a pure Loess Plateau flavor for today's dinner, the original taste, you need to not dislike many habits to experience.

Half an hour later, the boys and girls in the two rooms all woke up, watching the stove fire burn out a little bit of black ash, and began to scold Zhang Shidong for being inhumane one by one.

In the hot weather, although there is still some coolness in the cave, there is also the help of the fan, but the heat that comes out from under them still makes them unbearable, I heard that Lao Lu said that Zhang Shidong went to eat, they need to solve the dinner by themselves, and fresh ingredients were prepared for them in both rooms, which Lao Lu bought in advance from the market more than ten kilometers away.

"Damn, isn't it just cooking for yourself? It's true that we don't divide the grains. ”

"Just let him see, nothing else, can't we get scrambled eggs cooked?"

The two rooms cooked together, but an hour later they were treated with a burnt meal, with their already cultivated appetite, let alone eating, they had no appetite to see, and a lot of ingredients were wasted, but what came out was a bunch of failed works, but fortunately, at least they were cooked.

In the end, they had no choice but to boil a pot of hodgepodge, no matter how cooked it was to fit into the mouth, barely ate a few bites and were ready to throw it all away, a group of local children peeking at the door swallowed saliva, there was meat and eggs, why did they throw it away?

"Don't throw it away, give it to me." Lao Lu rolled up the sweat and smoke, his eyes were full of distress, he made a lot of money in the ninety-nine places, his own life has changed, and he also donated to the primary and secondary schools here with Zhang Shidong, but the things in his bones have not changed, and the word waste is absolutely not allowed.

A group of young masters waved their hands and said you take it quickly, it's best to help us brush all the pots and pans, a group of children outside were happy, under the call of Lao Lu, they ran home one by one to get small pots, and the food was fragrant, so that the group of young masters and ladies in the house wondered if the food they had just cooked was very fragrant, otherwise how could they eat so fragrant.

The speed of the storm swept everything away, and the children brushed every bowl by the well, and when they returned, a little girl of twelve or thirteen showed her white teeth and smiled: "Thank you, brother and sister, how nice it would be if you could always be with us." ”

They were puzzled.

Zhang Shidong, who was a little drunk, returned and handed them a stack of A4 paper that had been prepared long ago, with a note written on it, which included information about the annual income of a family here, the monthly expenses, and what to eat every day.

"How is that possible? It's fake, isn't it? ”

"I don't believe it, I don't have more than these expenses a month."

Zhang Shidong was very serious, they couldn't believe it, that night, after Zhang Shidong was very kind to a room after giving a box of mosquito coils and a bottle of mosquito repellent water, they were able to lose sleep in a quiet environment, only to hear the sound of the fan turning and the sound of the stove slowly burning, the most realistic picture is always more touching than saying it 10,000 times, and the immersive scene will raise the level of this touch.

The trouble of going to the toilet, the trouble of not sleeping with others, the trouble of eating, the trouble of washing......

It's all problems, it's all trouble, Zhang Shidong and Lao Lu will give them some help, they don't need to let them go to the bottom directly, they just need to let them feel a little bit of different life, and after they think they can barely adapt, they will help them a little bit, and then tell them that life here is okay, there are dirt roads for a few kilometers, and water and electricity can be guaranteed, and a year's maintenance plus government subsidies is enough to live, and there are places in Huaxia that cry ten times more than this, and it is not a joke that the family only has one pair of pants, It's real.

Slowly, they learned to be calm, not to abuse, to face everything in the present, to cook rice and vegetables, to live a hard life here, to wipe and wash their bodies with a pot of boiling water, and to understand what a hundred yuan electricity bill means to every household here.

Half a month passed in a flash, but in the eyes of each of them, this half a month was longer than the previous half a year, so long that they all felt that they had lice on their bodies, and they all felt that they had forgotten the taste of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

The day before leaving, when Zhang Shidong informed them that they could leave tomorrow, the wish of all of them was to leave in the afternoon, and tomorrow morning, there was a market nearby, and they hoped that Mr. Zhang would return their wallets or lend them some money temporarily.

Zhang Shidong returned the wallet to them and told them that there was a bank with an ATM in the place where the market was located.

When they left, everyone spent thousands of dollars, never felt that a few thousand dollars was such a big number, tens of thousands of dollars added together, almost emptied the entire bazaar, hired several walk-behind tractors to pull things back, a set of new clothes for children only cost a few dozen dollars, once a few dozen dollars were a box of cigarette money in their place; A snack stall costs less than 1,000 yuan, and every child feels very happy when they get a piece of candy in their hands, and they don't even know what the Want Want gift package is.

There are no tears, no heart-wrenching feelings, everything is undisturbed under Zhang Shidong's arrangement, and it is in this calm that they understand something, no matter how much or less, but it is firmly imprinted in everyone's heart.

Thousands of dollars can be spent on inviting friends to eat and play, but it can satisfy the definition of beauty for all the children in the village here, and fulfill the insignificant little wishes of all of them.

I want to have a steamed pork meal open.

I would like to have a floral dress.

I want to own a skateboard.

I would like to be able to have a small box of snacks.

Leaving the small mountain village, when they embarked on the journey home, Zhang Shidong said the first sentence in the past fifteen days, which was also a gift to each of them.

"You can think about giving special funding here after you go back, but I hope you look further, I hope that whether you are entering the official career or doing business, you can think of such an experience, and the first stop of the career is to choose the real grassroots, similar to this township; When you start doing business, you start by going to a small place, and you make money while making a small group of farmers rich. Okay, I won't say more, you know more than I do, and there is one more stop, you can be free, you don't have to see me all day, but don't be happy too early, I will be by your side at any time, so that you can be relieved not because you are already very good, but because I am tired, the early autumn heat of a hot day is dead, I should go on vacation. ”

Depend on!

Another middle finger!
