Episode 26 Full of Clothes (1)
The three of them tossed and turned, and arrived at Xichang Railway Station at about 1 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Most of the reports on the Internet about left-behind children in Liangshan are sad and sad, which makes people cry when they see it. But what I see and perceive now is clearly an ordinary third-tier town!
I found a taxi and went straight to the express hotel, the room rate of an ordinary standard room is 156 yuan, and the consumption level is not low! 'Donkey in the rivers and lakes' can't be fooled by others, right?
With this doubt, although Zhang Jiantao was very tired, he didn't feel sleepy at all, and tossed and turned until dawn.
At breakfast the next day, he told Jun Mo and the fat man his doubts with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.
The fat man took a bite of the fritters and said with a disdainful expression:
"You can't sleep with such? That's a bit of a point! It has been almost 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and even if it is poor, there must always be a center in a region!
Xichang is the hub of Liangshan Prefecture! It is said that the people of the imperial capital look at everyone as a hillbilly, and they always feel that everyone else is waiting to be saved in dire straits, and it seems that this sentence has really been fulfilled in you.
Do you expect to see poor children without pants in the city? If that's the case, then it's not our turn to meddle in this issue! ”
The fat man has always spoken without edges, and everyone is used to it and doesn't think it's a pestle.
But considering that Zhang Jiantao believed in himself after all and was ready to come together to help, it was indeed a bit inappropriate to be ridiculed for everyone's sake, Jun Mo patted him on the shoulder and smiled:
"Liangshan is nearly 60,000 square kilometers, with a vast area and many ethnic groups. Although the economy of the urban area may be okay, the income difference between the counties and townships below is more obvious.
You don't know this area, and you don't know Su Yao, when we go to the outskirts of the city to meet her, you will know that you are too worried! ”
Sure enough, after getting on the suburban bus, the more he walked outside the city, the more Zhang Jiantao understood the fat man's words.
After seeing Su Yao, the fat man was full of hope to see Zhang Jiantao's deflated appearance, but what he didn't expect was that this time 'Su Xiaoshitai' was extremely enthusiastic!
It's unreasonable, when I met Su Yao, this girl seemed to owe her a few dollars every day, and she didn't see a good face at all; Yu Jian was also ridiculed and ridiculed when he contacted her, and he was reprimanded like an angry little daughter-in-law; But this time, I saw the 'second speed brother' who only had a few faces, how could the treatment be like this?
Of course, Su Yao is happy for a reason! On the one hand, what the company does is exactly what it has been pursuing; On the other hand, because of the successful preparation of the first Hope Primary School, she immediately became a star after returning to her hometown.
Not only are the neighbors educating their children to follow her example, but even junior high school and even elementary school classmates who have not been in touch for many years have found her contact information, liking and forwarding the relevant information of the 'Paper Airplane Project' for her in the circle of friends!
Even though her kindness is pure, she is only a young man in her early twenties, her work is going well, and the people around her are still supportive, so she is naturally in a good mood.
What's more, it's not what it used to be, and everyone has a basic understanding of each other, how can the boss and colleagues come to their hometown together, how can she continue to have a stinky face!
Looking at Su Yao's state, the fat man was a little disappointed. The main reason is that I feel unfair, I am handsome, the little white face of 'Brother Second', even a cow like Su Xiaoshi can do it, so during this time we are together every day, what future do I have for chasing girls.
No one paid attention to his careful thoughts, and Su Yao patronized to report to Jun Mo the status of the application for the construction of the primary school here. And since breakfast has already been eaten, there is no need to delay, just charter a taxi, walk around the elementary schools first, and come to the field to see what the situation of each primary school is.
Because Jun Mo had already explained his requirements, and also clarified the basic conditions such as the venue, teachers, and number of students that the 'Donkey in the Jianghu' Hope Primary School should have, although the schools Su Yao chose were a little remote, they could also be delivered by taxi.
In one day, I ran to four elementary schools, and it was all a simple look at the classrooms and chatting with the principal and teachers. Spend less than half an hour in each school and rush to another.
It's not that the Hope Primary Schools that are eligible for donors are so far apart. The main reason is that the road conditions are too poor!
In his opinion, all the schools along the route are not qualified, and it may be a bit inappropriate to demolish and rebuild them all, but at least more than half of the school buildings really need to be renovated.
After visiting the four primary schools, we also found a ridiculous fact: two of the four primary schools were 'full of clothes'!
Su Yao once said this on the phone, but after all, she didn't see it at the scene, so everyone had no idea about her description.
In 2011, a group of volunteer teachers came to Liangshan to teach. Because of the difficult local conditions and the fact that family planning is not well controlled, many families have three or four children. So most of the children are not very well dressed, a piece of clothing, the eldest can't wear it to the second, and then pass it on to the third.
Several volunteer teachers were very distressed after seeing this situation, so they posted on the Internet, wanting to ask netizens across the country to help donate, and send all the clothes they don't use to the local children to wear!
Originally, it was just a suggestion post, and these people didn't expect to be taken seriously. But suddenly one day, the information was seen by a well-known actor in China. He took the lead in donating some clothes, and reposted the donation photo along with the post on his Weibo.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and more and more people reprinted this information, but the problem was that there was no note on the posting time when reposting, and the result was: The post in 2011 is still being retweeted!
The power of the Internet is enormous, and by the end of 2012, the clothes distributed by netizens were enough for all the children in the local primary schools. But there is still a steady stream of clothes sent over, and the principals and teachers keep appealing, hoping that everyone will stop posting it, but this kind of call is too small for netizens to see it at all.
Later, everyone also gave up their efforts and had to let it go, hoping that this matter would be slowly forgotten by everyone with the passage of time. But it backfired, and in the next three years, the clothes and parcels that came one after another still filled the entire classroom.
At first, I was able to send the excess to other schools in the surrounding area, but then no one asked for it! The size, style, season, and degree of newness of the clothes are all different, which is too troublesome to do, and it is easy for students to form comparisons and disputes. As a result, the classroom has become a warehouse, and the disposal of these clothes has become a historical problem!
"These people are really brainless, can't they just sell it?" The fat man didn't understand why no one implemented such a simple method.
"Who is second-hand children's clothing sold to? Where to sell? Are you responsible for cleaning fees, transportation costs, and salesperson salaries? Su Yao was very dissatisfied with the fat man's attitude of speaking indiscriminately without his brain!
However, to deal with this problem, 'selling' is indeed the most intuitive way, but it is too difficult to operate.
Seeing that the fat man and Su Yao's eyes were focused on him, Jun Mo knew that it was time for him to express his position, and after a moment of silence, he owed a debt and said:
Post a post on the 'Donkey in the Rivers and Lakes' forum to see if anyone can think of a better way to organize a charity sale or something like that, and then dispose of all these clothes at once!
Although the fat man is an expert in event initiation, this category is not within his scope of expertise, so naturally, the responsibility falls on Su Yao, Su Yao doesn't talk nonsense, picks up the phone, and then nods to the remaining three people and goes back to prepare to post.
