Chapter 7 Poverty and Education

In the afternoon of the next day, everyone gathered at the headquarters of the sixth game, saying that the headquarters was actually a very remote small dilapidated building, and there were no signs or other signs, anyway, there were only a handful of people in the whole country who knew their true identities.

I saw that except for the ghost riding the wind, everyone else was holding a big bag and a small wrap, and they didn't know what was inside, but these things were their treasures, and they would carry them every time they acted.

"Alright, let's go."

Gao Huan and Qian Hao drove the only two cars in the bureau to Zhongnan Province, thousands of miles away.

Nowadays, the country's economy is developing rapidly, and from the capital, whether it is by rail or road, it can reach all provinces in the country.

I don't know how long I slept, the ghost was woken up by the bumps of the car, he looked out through the window, the sky was already a little bright, but the clouds in the sky were very thick, it seemed to be a sign of rain, the car also got off the highway at this time, and there were large fields outside, and there was no edge in sight.

"Awake? We have entered the Central South Province. ”

The fire house on the side said to the ghost riding the wind.

"Lao Gao, stop for a moment, I'll go out and let off steam."

Ghost Riding Wind has always had nightmares since the last time he killed the Filth Eater, and he has never thought back to what happened when he was a child, and it was the same just now.

Gao Huan's kung fu is profound, and his energy is more than that of ordinary people, and he has not slept all night, and he is not tired at all.

Soon, the two cars stopped on the side of the road, and everyone got out of the car, stretching out their arms and shaking their heads, and they felt very uncomfortable after more than ten hours of driving.

"There should be a small village in front of us, let's go there to rest and have some breakfast by the way, if nothing happens, we will be there this afternoon." Huoju said to everyone.

Huoju followed his senior brother Chunyang Zhenren all over the world back then, and he was very familiar with the ghost domain of the sealed door, although more than 20 years have passed, and the environment has also changed dramatically, he is still like a few treasures for the surrounding towns and villages.

Sure enough, the group walked forward for about a few dozen miles and entered a small village.

Central South Province is a large agricultural province, farmers account for the majority, a lot of the country's grain is planted in Central South Province, so after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country has "grain by the South, steel by the Northeast" said, but now, Central South Province has become the most underdeveloped place in the country's economy, many farmers can only barely maintain food and clothing by planting grain income, if there is a catastrophe year, then it can only rely on the state relief.

This is the case in this small town, there are almost no tall buildings, there are large bungalows everywhere, and many of the old houses were built in the seventies and eighties of the last century.

It's already past nine o'clock in the morning, and if it's in the city, people are already busy at this time, but it's still quiet in this town, and only a few old people appear on a dirt road that looks like it's in disrepair, and slowly sit on the side of the road and listen to the radio.

The two cars searched around the small village, trying to find a place to have breakfast, to be honest, this town is too small, it only took five or six minutes from one end to the other, there are about 100 families, but it seems that there is no custom of eating breakfast in the town, only a small shop at the end of the town seems to be a burst of smoke, it seems to be a small restaurant.

Everyone got out of the car and walked in, and saw an old woman who was nearly seventy years old busy in the house, and there was a large cauldron in the corner of the small room that was steaming, and there was a burst of fragrance.

Seeing seven or eight people coming in from the outside, the old woman was startled and stunned on the spot.

"Old woman, are you a small restaurant?"

Hou asked, his fluent accent in the south of the country leading him to think he was still a local, Hou Junxiao had followed his father around the country to buy antiques when he was young, and could speak dozens of local dialects.

"Yes, yes, this is the restaurant, what do you want to eat?"

Although the old woman was a little trembling, after all, she was located in a remote area, and there were not many outsiders here all year round, and occasionally there were only some drivers who ran the transportation to pass by, and these people were all dressed in extraordinary clothes that made her a little uneasy, but as long as there were guests, it meant that there was income, and she still happily agreed to everyone.

"Auntie, what do you have here?"

This small shop is very small, there are only two small tables, and it is very difficult for everyone to sit down, only this lady is busy and does not see anyone else, what can she make?

"Oh, I only have buns, gruel, and pickles here, what do you want to eat?"

The crowd was a little speechless when they heard this, and they asked what they wanted to eat about these three things?

"Auntie, then let's have steamed buns, one bowl of gruel per person, and pickles, whatever you have."

Hou Junxiao replied.

"Okay, okay, everyone, wait a minute, Xiwazi, you go get some pickles."

The eldest lady shouted to the inner house, and at the same time she opened the cauldron that had been boiling, and the two layers of the pot were full of steamed buns, and the bottom was already cooked gruel, which made people suddenly have an appetite.

Soon, two large plates of steamed buns were placed in front of everyone, and then the eldest lady served a few bowls of gruel.

"Hey Wazi, is it good? Hurry up, don't keep people waiting. ”

The eldest lady shouted again.

"Well, okay.........."

A soft voice came out, and a little girl stepped out of the back room.

This little girl was only about ten years old, with two pigtails, and her immature face looked at everyone a little timidly, and she quickly put two plates of side dishes on the table, and then hurried into the back room again.

Everyone was already very hungry, and soon ate the steamed porridge and side dishes, especially Gao Huan, who was physically strong, and he was even more hungry after driving all night, he ate the most, but he still didn't eat enough.

"Auntie, do you still have this bun?"

Gao Huan asked directly.

"Oops, it's gone now, I'm packing it with Xiwazi? I'll have to wait for half an hour. ”

The eldest lady shook her head and said.

"Half an hour? Boss, let's wait. ”

Gao Huan looked at Huoju and said.

"You guy eats more than two people, forget it, just wait."

Everyone was idle and chatted with the eldest lady.

"Auntie, are you alone here?"

Yue Lan on the side asked.

"No, I'm two people with Xiwazi."

The eldest lady replied while wrapping the bun.

"Xiwazi is your granddaughter?"

Phoenix asked.

"Well, yes, my granddaughter is ten years old this year, but she is sensible."

The eldest lady said with a smile.

"What about her parents?"

Liu Hongyang then asked.

"I'm going out to work, well, I'm not coming back until the end of the year, and it's soon, it's coming."

The eldest lady said.

"Then you're going to take care of Xiwazi alone?"

Yue Lan asked again.

"No, it's Xiwazi who takes care of me, my granddaughter is fine, she can do any work, make buns and pickles, these are not good for me as an old woman."

"Then why doesn't Xiwazi go to school?"

Everyone was a little surprised, Xiwazi was only ten years old, and she should be at the age of school.

"I don't go to school anymore, I don't have any money, and the teacher at the elementary school died last year, and no one has come over yet, it's just a bunch of old guys, and they don't know anything."

The eldest lady said disapprerovingly.

The crowd immediately fell silent, another example of dropping out of school because of poverty.

"It's disgusting, can't they even build a little school?"

Phoenix said fiercely, very dissatisfied with the local government.

"Oh, I can't say it's bad, our village is full of old people and children, young people have gone out to work, and the government also gives us some money a year, but the land is deserted, and we old people can't do it, hey...... There's no way. ”

The eldest lady shook her head and sighed.

"Huh, money? No matter how much money you have, you can't do without education, these guys are all sacrificed to the bottom. ”

Liu Hongyang also said angrily on the side.

"At the beginning, we also told the township government, they said that we are too poor, there is no money to do it, so we can only let some retired old teachers substitute teachers, those people, all of them are worse than me, can they teach children? No way, no way, but Xi Wazi's parents said that they would take her to the city when they came back this time, and they would be able to go to school then. ”

Every time I talk about my granddaughter, my face is full of smiles.

Soon, a pot of steamed buns was steamed, and everyone didn't eat much, and their hearts were as heavy as pressing a boulder.

Xi Wazi saw that the necklaces on the phoenix were shining in her eyes, girls like these ornaments, but she just looked at them and didn't reach out to touch them.

"Little sister, do you like these things?"

Phoenix asked.

"Well, grandma told me that other people's things can't be touched casually."

"Xiwazi is really a good girl, come, this is given to you by my sister, take it."

Phoenix casually took off a wooden necklace from her neck and put it on Xiwazi's neck.

"Oh, we can't ask for this, hurry, Xiwazi will be returned to others soon."

The eldest lady hurriedly said.

Although Xiwazi was a little reluctant, she still had to take it off her neck and return it to the phoenix.

"Little sister, this is not worth a few dollars, it is a gift from the big sister to you, and you will wear it around your neck to study in the city with your parents in the future, and the big sister believes that you will be able to study well."

Phoenix stopped.

"How good is that? How good is that? Then I'm in for a treat to this meal. ”

The eldest mother is very embarrassed, this chain is wooden, although the eldest mother does not understand, but this chain is painted with a pattern on each bead, the carving is very detailed, and it is very valuable at a glance.

Of course, each of the phoenix's things is not an ordinary item, the materials used in this chain are only available in Miao Jiang, and they do not bite mosquitoes when worn on the body, and they always exude a kind of fragrance, which has the effect of calming and calming the nerves, if they are put on the market to sell, I am afraid that there is no 108,000 yuan that cannot be lowered.

"Thank you, big sister, I will definitely study hard."

Xiwazi stroked the necklace, obviously very fond of it.

"Okay, auntie, let's go, you can keep the money."

Everyone stood up, and Song Wen took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and put it on the table.

"Ah, no, no, this bun is worth twenty yuan, besides, they all say that I have a treat, take it back."

The eldest lady was scared enough, and a thousand yuan was enough for her income for a few months.

"No, Auntie's money is for Xiwazi to go to school in the future, and we can only do this, so you can take it."

After everyone finished speaking, they walked out of the house, and then got into the car and drove away.

"Good people, you're all good people."

The eldest lady and Xi Wazi looked at the people who were far away, and tears couldn't help but flow out.
