It took less than half an hour for the convoy to come to the road leading to Baihua Village, there is only this one road here, and the car can't move forward, so Xia Wencai and others have to get out of the car and take things on foot. Baihua Village is different from the mountain village, they are really built on the mountainside, the mountain road is rugged, the distance is still far, it is okay to move forward empty-handed, but the people of the TV station are suffering, holding large bags of equipment, and now they have been walking for almost an hour, and after turning a corner, looking at some dilapidated huts that appear in the field of vision, everyone is finally relieved.

As soon as Li Xiaomei and the others arrived, some villagers came out of their houses, most of which were made of stones, and some were mud and straw houses, and only a few could use tiles on the roofs.

"Xiaomei, what are you doing mysteriously this time? And who are these people? The shabby-dressed villagers had apparently little contact with the outside world, and some of them were a little frightened when they looked at such a large group of strangers, but an old man with gray hair came out and asked.

Yesterday, Xia Wencai and others have already told her that if they are telling the truth, Xia Wencai and others will give them some help, and after the TV station interviews and reports, it is also good for them, and there may be some donations, because many people or companies, if you ask him to donate silently, he will definitely shirk it in every possible way, but as soon as there is a chance to report it on TV or something, it will be quite enthusiastic.

"Village chief, let me introduce to you, this is Xia Wencai, the village head of Guishan Village, Nanling Town, Manager Lin Lin, and Deputy Village Chief Zhang, this is a comrade from the city TV station, who wants to interview us and plan to give some help to the children, this is Yao Shan, the village head of Baihua Village." Li Xiaomei introduced them one by one.

Yao Shan was a little suspicious after hearing this, pulled Li Xiaomei over and asked in a low voice, "Are these people really here to help the children?" You used to run around asking for help from well-wishers, but in the end it wasn't all for nothing."

"Village chief, this time it's different, forget it, I can't tell you clearly, anyway, it's no harm, I'll take them to see the school first."

Yao Shan still trusts and is grateful to Li Xiaomei, the first child who came to the village to be a teacher for the children, was only in his twenties when he came, and he stayed for five or six years.

After Li Xiaomei finished speaking, she beckoned Xia Wencai and the others to start moving forward, saying that the school was not far from here, and it would be there in a while.

On the way, the TV station also began to shoot, and Xia Wencai and others also understood why this place is so poor, first of all, the transportation is inconvenient, and there is little trade with the outside world, and secondly, the terraced land in the middle of the mountain is relatively poor, and the grain output is not high, so life has become a problem, and the villagers have to often go into the mountains to pick some mountain goods or hunt in order to basically maintain their lives.

Xia Wencai and others asked, there are more than 500 people in this village, large and small, and there are many of them who are light and strong, why do they still need their teachers to go out to work to subsidize the expenses, won't they go?

Li Xiaomei explained to them that most of the villagers were illiterate and could not deal with outsiders at all, and that they could be said to have been out of touch with mainstream society before they came, only once in a while some people would go out to the town to buy some necessities such as oil and salt, and they thought that the mountain people should farm.

And a few years ago, I also went out a group of young people, I want to see if I can make money, but they have no culture, two have no technology, and it is not possible to find a good job, only to go to the construction site as a handyman, and the hard work is nothing for people like them who have been used to working since childhood, just to say that it is more unlucky, those years are the time when the black-hearted boss, the contractor or something is flooding, they are more unlucky, after being owed half a year's salary, the contractor directly took the money and ran away, they came out and did not make money, not to mention, but also was cheated like this.

After returning to the village, the people in the village were even more reluctant to go out, their impression was that there were no good people outside the mountain, and they were not willing to go out to let those people suck blood! Later, Li Xiaomei and others were also very unwelcome when they came, but the villagers also knew that others were teachers, and they also wanted their children to learn knowledge, so they let them stay.

After Xia Wencai and the TV station listened, they looked at each other, and they were also quite embarrassed, they all knew during that time, especially Li Yi and others had experienced a lot of such interviews, at that time, it seemed that pit workers were a trend, but I didn't expect these mountain people to also suffer.

After walking for more than ten minutes, everyone finally came to a "school", and now there is still a neat reading sound coming from inside, and it seems that they are not on vacation.

Just looking at the "school" in front of him, even the TV crew twitched out of the corner of his eyes when he saw the warmth and coldness of people.

This is a dilapidated old-fashioned ancestral hall, many of the roof tiles have been broken, inlaid with some film and straw and other things, and the wall is only three sides, one side has collapsed, the roof has also tilted down a little, and now it is supported by a few wooden pillars so that it has not collapsed, as for the classroom, it is about dozens of square meters, and the room is full of children, the big of them looks to be more than 10 years old, and the small one is only six or seven years old, they all sit on stone benches to study, and their desks are composed of two stones with a small wooden plank.

Xia Wencai frowned and said to Li Xiaomei: "This kind of classroom is too dangerous, this house may collapse at any time, how can you let your child study in such a place?"

The others also nodded, such a house is already more dilapidated than a dilapidated house, it is scary to look at, and it is unbelievable that there are so many children studying in it.

Even Zhang Degui sighed helplessly: "I used to think that our village was too poor, but compared with them, I think our village was very good before."

Li Xiaomei smiled bitterly after hearing this: "We can't help it, this house in the village is good, and the area is also large, other houses are willing to be requisitioned for us, but the requisitioned others have no place to live, not to mention, you have also seen, they are all dilapidated huts, they can't accommodate a few people, it's useless at all, this old ancestral hall can be used as a classroom at least barely sheltered from the wind and rain."

The sound of reading aloud suddenly stopped, and the teacher and students who were lecturing obviously noticed their group, the teacher was a woman who looked to be in her thirties, and after seeing Li Xiaomei, she came over and asked, "Xiaomei, who are they, why are there still cameras?" Running here to shoot TV? ”

The children in class also shouted "Mom, Mom" and said hello after seeing Li Xiaomei, Liu Chunlan and others.

"Sister Zhang, they are from the TV station, and some leaders of a village, they want to interview us, and they may give some donations to the children."

After listening to Li Xiaomei, Zhang Qiuwen's eyes lit up, she is not a mountain citizen, she knows that this TV station means publicity and donations, which is a great thing, they are sad for money, and now they can't even afford chalk for teaching, the students' books are hand-copied, and some orphans living in the school will have problems with food and housing, just two words, lack of money!

After the reporter also began to interview Zhang Qiuwen, she was also very cooperative, she used to be a teacher in a town primary school, and a volunteer here knows, two years ago after learning about the situation here, she applied to teach, but when the reporter asked about her family, she was stunned for a while, and then seemed to say indifferently, her parents are at home, her father is a retired worker, the family is barely enough, she was married before, her husband is a driver, and her income is not bad, but she divorced a year ago, and she didn't say the reason for the divorce. But there are no fools here, the reason for the divorce is obvious, whose wife has been working for free or has to pay for it, maybe the man will not be able to stand it!

After the interview, Zhang Qiuwen continued to attend class, and the children who came back with Lin Xiaowan also entered the classroom, found their own place and began to study, the reporter and Xia Wencai and others were led by Li Xiaomei, Xie Ju and others to the teacher's office or dormitory next to it, a stone house of more than 20 square meters, and now there are four people in it, and there are four wooden beds with bunk beds next to it, and the house is separated by a kitchen.

When Xia Wencai and the others came in, they were all taking textbooks to make records, and preparing materials for the next class, and then interviewed them one by one, four of them are now plus Li Xiaomei, Liu Chunlan, Xie Ju, there are a total of seven teachers, and now only two people are married, the two are not married, and three are divorced.

After hearing this, everyone sighed, there are still such people in this society, if they didn't experience it personally, they would basically not believe it.

Seeing that this was indeed the case, Xia Wencai discussed with Zhang Degui and Lin Xiaowan about donations, and Zhang Degui also fully supported this matter, because they all came from hard times, and now that they are living well, it is a little bit better to help when they encounter such a thing.

Lin Xiaowan opened her mouth and said: "The money you gave last time, making hotel supplies, and some other trivial things, after using it, there are still 32.78 million, don't look like a lot, now this little money looks dangerous, the village has no income now, and the expenses are also a lot, and now the living expenses of so many employees are also a lot of expenses, and such a big stall can't be without liquidity, so if you donate, you can free up one or two million at most, but I think it's enough for here, and we don't have enough funds now." In the future, when the village's income is good, I am also ready to build a charity fund, which can not only help many people, but also increase some good reputation for our village head! ”

Lin Xiaowan continued: "Let's donate one million first, they don't have many students here, it's enough to build a small school of three or four hundred thousand, and there is still a lot left after the school equipment is made, which can be supported for a long time, and now the TV station is interviewing, there will definitely be people who will donate at that time, and the teacher's salary can also be issued, and I will talk to Li Xiaomei and them in a while, I still have to get my salary in the future, and everyone has to live, and it is not good for them to make the family fall apart now, And the effort should be rewarded. ”

PS: Maybe many book friends may see this and say, Hongchen, you are bragging again, is it really good to write like this? That's an exaggeration, right? Then I'll tell you that you really have this, it's been a long time before I watched the news reports, of course, the teacher will definitely not have so many, just one or two, the students there are called the teacher's mother, and the learning environment is the same as what I wrote, it's really not an exaggeration, I was very touched at the time.
