Chapter 502: Whose Fault?
That night, we stayed at Chen's house.
Early the next morning, Chen Xingrui came to invite them to breakfast, and after breakfast, Chen Xingrui asked for their opinions, saying that he would take them to catch insects and river crabs, and prepare to hold a hundred insect banquets to entertain them.
This is the biggest specialty of the mountain town.
Fan Hongyu smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Xiao Chen, public before private." Let's go to the village school first, settle the matter of assistance, and then talk about the rest. """ The fastest update, full text hand-typed
When Li Qiuyu first arrived in the small mountain village, everything was full of infinite novelty, although he was afraid when he heard the "Hundred Insects Banquet", he wanted to explore the secrets everywhere. It's just that what Fan Hongyu said is right, and the little girl can't object.
Chen Xingrui was a little hesitant.
This kid is a little tendoned, and thinks that today was originally arranged to catch insects, and suddenly changing the itinerary is not so appropriate. Some people are born with the ability to "adapt to changes", but some people need to strengthen their training.
Chen Xingrui belongs to the latter.
"Let's go, car, go to school."
Fan Hongyu waved his hand and stepped out. Baidu search "" to see the latest chapters
Li Qiuyu pursed his lips and smiled, followed closely, and said to Chen Xingrui, who was stunned: "Let's go, Chen Xingrui, all leaders are this kind of virtue." ”
Chen Xingrui scratched his head and followed.
Dachen Village Primary School is on the west side of the village, but there is a vacant lot, and the classrooms are the same as the houses, with two wooden houses. The open space at the entrance of the classroom is a real open space, there is nothing, exactly the same as the photos taken by Chen Xingrui.
Chen Xingrui said that there are more than 30 students in the school, and there is only one substitute teacher, who is his father, and before him, the only junior high school student in the entire Dachen Village. In this small mountain village, it can be regarded as a "scholarly family". Chen Xingrui was able to become the first student in the county to be admitted to Capital University. There's a reason for that, too.
There are three classes in the school. There is one class in the first and second grades, one class in the third and fourth grades, and one class in the fifth and sixth grades.
Chen Xingrui said: "There are too few students, and there are even fewer teachers. There is only such a compromise. ”
"What about junior high school?"
Li Qiuyu asked.
"If you want to go to the township in junior high school, you have to go to the county in high school."
Li Qiuyu nodded and said, "Wow, how difficult is this?" ”
Chen Xingrui said: "It's very difficult. In fact. These students in the mountainous areas face far more than that. The lack of teachers and the extremely backward construction of schools are not the main difficulties. The main thing is that many children cannot afford to go to school. This elementary school had only about 20 students the year before last. There are more than 40 school-age children in Dachen Village. Many parents do not send their children to school, and the tuition fee of more than ten yuan per semester is a heavy burden for them......
Fan Hongyu chimed in: "Other than that, the child went to school. There's one less laborer in the family, right? ”
"Yes, yes. That's the idea. ”
Li Qiuyu was immediately puzzled, and said in surprise: "Labor? What can school-aged children do? ”
Fan Hongyu laughed and said, "Qiu Yu, you grew up in the capital, of course you don't understand the situation in the countryside. Children in mountainous areas can do a lot of things from the age of five or six, such as collecting firewood, digging pigweed and wild vegetables, herding cattle and sheep, and planting rice with adults. ”
Li Qiuyu's eyes widened and he couldn't speak.
When she was five or six years old, she would only play games in kindergarten, pestering her parents to ask for candy. Most of her classmates and girlfriends around her have similar childhood experiences. I never thought that children in mountain villages would have to act as "laborers" from the age of five or six.
"Second Brother Fan is absolutely right. There is also a conceptual problem, that is, many villagers find it difficult to study and make a living. Within a radius of dozens of miles, we are a primary school. After finishing primary school, I went to the village to study in junior high school, and the burden was even heavier. The average family's annual net income cannot afford a middle school student...... Actually, my family can't afford it. I was able to go to school in the capital, and the county education committee provided a part of the living expenses, and the rest was made up by all the families in the village, most of which was borrowed by my parents and my parents. I have calculated that when I finish four years of college, my parents will have to pay off the debt in 20 years if they pay it themselves...... My uncle and uncle's children dropped out of school in order for me to go to college. My uncle's daughter, who had good grades, has a good chance of being admitted to university......"
Speaking of this, Chen Xingrui's voice was low and very sad.
In a sense, a college student like him in his family is glorious, but it also completely cuts off the path of other children's advancement!
In such a mountain village, a family cannot afford to support a single college student.
Li Qiuyu hurriedly walked over, gently held Chen Xingrui's hand, and comforted in a low voice: "Chen Xingrui, don't be sad, it's not your fault." ”
Chen Xingrui asked in confusion: "If it's not my fault, whose fault is it?" ”
No one could answer him.
Even Fan Hongyu couldn't answer. He could have answered, perhaps, but his identity did not allow him to answer.
Chen Xingrui's
The personality is more optimistic, and he is slightly lowered, and then a smile appeared on his face and said: "I can go to school in the capital, and there are still practical benefits." In the past two years, the village primary school has increased by more than a dozen students. ”
Li Qiuyu let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Yes, you are their role model." ”
Mr. Chen's child was admitted to Capital University and is about to become a public family. This is definitely an "inspirational" example, some parents save money, tighten their belts, send their children to school, hoping that one day, their own children can be like Teacher Chen's children, carp jump out of the dragon, out of the mountains, become a glamorous and decent "people".
The three of them said as they walked to the classroom.
It is said that it is divided into three classes, but in fact, these 30 or so children are all in one classroom. Because there is only one teacher.
On one wall of the wood-paneled classroom, a homemade blackboard hangs, and all the lecterns and desks are homemade. The desks are all made of wood, to put it bluntly, they carry a plank on four legs, and the chairs are a mix of bamboo and woodwork.
What is more "cold" than the lectern desk is the dress of the teachers and students.
There are more than 30 students, some big and some young, the big one looks to be fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger one looks like he is seven or eight years old. None of the children wore new clothes, they were all patches of old clothes, and at a glance they knew that they were worn by their parents and siblings and then changed to be worn by their younger children.
Mr. Chen was the only one who was brightly dressed and wore a light blue military uniform, which had already been washed and turned white. It is estimated that this is still because of the "guest clothes" that were temporarily changed into because of the arrival of distinguished guests.
Chen Xingrui looks very similar to his father, both of them are just thin and thin.
Li Qiuyu wanted to speak and stopped.
Chen Xingrui smiled and said, "Li Qiuyu, just say what you have to say, it's nothing." ”
Li Qiuyu thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Chen Xingrui, I heard that in some mountainous areas, a family shares a set of clothes, is there such a thing?" ”
This topic was raised by a classmate during a small-scale discussion after everyone learned that Chen Xingrui was from the Yidong Mountains, and of course, no one asked Chen Xingrui for verification in person.
After seeing these children's outfits, Li Qiuyu suddenly remembered, so he couldn't help but ask, and immediately regretted it, for fear of hurting Chen Xingrui's self-esteem, and he was quite worried.
Chen Xingrui nodded calmly and replied, "Yes, there is such a thing. Our Dachen Village is quite good, but further into the mountains, there are many villages and villages, and their transportation is even more inconvenient and poorer than ours. In some villages deep in the mountains, some people make a new dress for the rest of their lives, and wear it when they marry their daughters-in-law or when they get married, and wear them until they are old. Li Qiuyu, you grew up in the city, and you would never have thought about how people in the depths of the mountains lived. ”
Li Qiuyu's face turned slightly pale, and she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Chen Xingrui, I didn't mean to......"
"Li Qiuyu, you misunderstood what I meant, I don't blame you. This situation is not caused by you. It is already remarkable that you and Second Brother Fan can come to our Dachen Village today. Really, I'm not lying. ”
Chen Xingrui also saw Li Qiuyu's inner uneasiness, and was busy comforting her.
Li Qiuyu shook his head, looking very sad.
If she didn't come to Dachen Village, just looking at the photos taken by Chen Xingrui, she would never have such a deep personal feeling in her life. Now it seems that the photos taken by Chen Xingrui have been selected to show the good side as much as possible. The real situation is much more dire than the one he filmed.
Fan Hongyu gently patted Chen Xingrui's shoulder and said, "Xiao Chen, don't be sad. All difficulties are only temporary, you have to believe that. As long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties, and our lives will get better day by day. ”
Director Fan's words, no matter how they sound, seem like an official article. But this time, Director Fan said it very sincerely.
As long as dreams don't die, there will always be hope!
In just a few years of reform and opening up, we have already begun to change the country's economic situation and the living conditions of a large number of people on a large scale.
Chen Xingrui nodded again and again.
Boss Fan personally went to Dachen Village, and Chen Xingrui could trust what he said.
"Boss Fan, Xiao Li, you are here......"
Teacher Chen, who was teaching the children, saw them and hurriedly instructed the children to study on their own, and hurried out to greet them. The children were very self-conscious, and although they were quite curious about the two strange men and women outside the window, the teacher assigned homework, and most of them obediently sat down at their desks to study on their own, occasionally looking up at the window.
"Hello, Mr. Chen."
Fan Hongyu and Li Qiuyu hurriedly greeted each other.
"Hey, Xingrui, didn't you say that you invited guests to catch bugs today? How to ......"
Teacher Chen was slightly surprised.
"That's the case, Second Brother Fan and Li Qiuyu must come to the school first, and they must ...... public before private."
"Ah, that's it? Haha, Boss Fan, Xiao Li, please come in and sit down. ”
Teacher Chen nodded again and again, and invited the two of them to rest in the slightly smaller wooden room next to them. Presumably this is his office and temporary dormitory. (To be continued.) )
