After walking and stopping, Wang Zerong and his entourage finally came to this farmhouse hidden deep in the mountains.

It's a cottage with dozens of homes, dilapidated houses, villagers in all kinds of costumes, children running around naked, people wearing tattered clothes, and the situation here is not very good.

The two young people who followed Tian Huaizhu had a great change at this time, and when they had just entered Yun Village, Wang Zerong saw that their expressions had changed greatly, and they changed their original appearance, becoming taller and more brisk.

kept greeting people, and kept introducing Tian Huaizhu to greet his relatives, and that kind of self-satisfied appearance made Wang Zerong angry.

What's even more amazing is that Tian Huaizhu, while walking, put candy towards the children who came around, which attracted more and more children.

"See, I've been to this village three times, and each time I come, I bring some candy, and the children are the most welcoming to me!" Tian Huaizhu said proudly while scattering: "This is the joy of doing good, I enjoy it!" ”

When Wang Zerong heard him talk like this, he really didn't know what to say, saying that he was wrong? It seems that he didn't do anything wrong, saying that he was right, this thing really made Wang Zerong unacceptable.

"Zhao Dashan, come here, this is a reporter from the provincial newspaper, come to interview, good reception." Lin Yigui shouted loudly when he saw a villager wearing a white-washed Mao suit walking towards him.

"Township Chief Lin, why did you think about going up the mountain today?" The cousin asked as he walked over with his teeth bared. Wang Zerong saw that this person was a very ordinary-looking villager, carrying a hoe on his shoulder, as if he was about to go to the field. "Reporter Wang, this person is the leader of the village group and a party member."

As soon as he heard that the other party was a party member, Wang Zerong hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the other party's hand and said, "Trouble Team Leader Zhao!" Smiling, Zhao Dashan said: "The mountains are hard, there is nothing to entertain, and I walked to my house to oba." "Generally, cadres go to Team Leader Zhao's house here." Lin Yigui said with a smile.

Wang Zerong could see that Zhao Dashan's face was a little embarrassed, but this person still beckoned Wang Zerong and them to his home.

Seeing Tian Huaizhu so popular, Wang Zerong said: "I heard that I married a daughter in the mountains, and we also went to have a good time." ”

Zhao Dashan's face changed and said: "My family is in Shifang, Township Chief Lin knows, I will go to the field first and come back later." "Then he walked outside." Brother Wang, it seems that this Zhao Dashan has an opinion on marrying a daughter! Pan Pengcheng also gasped at this time and whispered in Wang Zerong's ear. Seeing Zhao Dashan's attitude, for some reason, Wang Zerong's mood was smooth.

When he came to a house with four walls and ventilation, Wang Zerong even saw a strip of light at the top. Sure enough, he is so poor, no wonder he is so enthusiastic about Tian Huaizhu!

Inside the room was a large earthen stove, boiling water, and an elderly woman was adding firewood and grass to it. Due to Tian Huaizhu's arrival, the family seemed a little lively, and the house was crowded with men and women from the village.

Seeing that Wang Zerong was the one who came with Tian Huaizhu, the family also treated them as honored guests, and a hot tea in an earthen bowl was served.

Wang Zerong's eyes kept inspecting in the bowl, this tea was a little strange, there were some looks like spicy skin floating in it, and looked at the situation of the woman who made the tea again, Wang Zerong saw that the tea had obviously been brewed once, and now it was dried and re-brewed. "Dad, Mom, I'm here to pick up Xiaoya today." Tian Huaizhu said to the two middle-aged men and women who looked much smaller than him at this time.

Hearing his title, and looking at the two men and women, Wang Zerong felt that his body was sour, and he couldn't help but have some goosebumps on his body. I saw that the faces of the two middle-aged men and women were calm, their eyes were a little distracted, and they looked at a little girl who was obviously dressed up and wearing new down. Tian Huaizhu said to the young man who was carrying things with two umbrellas: "Quickly share the things I brought with you."

As he spoke, he saw the two young men open the two big bags and keep taking out clothes and other things from them.

Tian Huaizhu smiled and sent them over one by one, a set of clothes here, a pair of shoes there, and some fruits and other things in the city.

Wang Zerong paid attention to it, there was a strangeness in the room here, as long as the people in this family got something, they were very happy, the clothes were new, and two women hurriedly wore them, and then looked at the situation of the other people who came, and there was a deep envy on their faces, and some people whispered: "This time the Li family is bitter and happy!" Soon, Wang Zerong knew the girl he was going to marry.

This is a very watery girl, no matter how she looks like a minor, probably knowing that she will be away from the family, she looks at this man who can be a good master with some timidity.

"Xiaoya will be handed over to you, be good to her." The man hesitated for a while before saying to Tian Huaizhu. After getting so many benefits, the girl's father knew that the matter had been decided, so he had to say to Tian Huaizhu.

"Dad, don't worry, Xiaoya, I will be good to her, no matter what, she is my woman now!" Looking at the girl, Tian Huaizhu's eyes were filled with excitement and longing.

Wang Zerong couldn't sit still anymore, he didn't see such a thing, even if he saw it, he didn't care, he was really sorry for the official position of the secretary of the provincial party committee.

Wang Zerong spoke at this time, looked at the girl and asked, "Little girl, how old are you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the room was suddenly silent, and the girl looked at Wang Zerong timidly.

Wang Zerong looked at Tian Huaizhu again and said, "Lao Tian, people don't seem to be underage, aren't you doing too much to chase things?" Now, Wang Zerong's heart can't help it anymore, this girl looks so small, she is completely a child who is going to school, this Tian Huaizhu is actually an old cow eating tender grass. This is completely ruining a young girl, it is a crime! "Reporter Wang, what did you say, you ask everyone, have I ever been persecuted?"

After saying this, Tian Huaizhu said to the middle-aged man and woman: "If you don't want to, I can cancel this marriage at any time." ”

As soon as he said this, the two young people who came with him were the first to be unhappy, and looked at Wang Zerong angrily and said, "You are not welcome here, you leave!" ”

The people who arrived also looked at Wang Zerong angrily, and one of the umbrella men even said, "What are you doing?" Who would dare to spoil this happy event! Another woman said, "If you can also get the money, my daughter will be handed over to you." ”

When Wang Zerong looked at the people in the village again, he was depressed by what he saw, as if everyone thought he was talking nonsense.

Looking at the girl, Wang Zerong saw a trace of excitement in his frightened eyes, but what followed was darkness. Lin Yigui pulled Wang Zerong here and said, "Let's go, let's go to Zhao Dashan's house."

Sighing secretly, Wang Zerong said to the girl: "If you are not happy, I will definitely be able to help you!" After saying this, Wang Zerong felt a little powerless, shook his head, and walked out with Lin Yigui

came to Zhao Dashan's house, which was much better than that one, and Wang Zerong saw Zhao Dashan squatting there smoking a hookah.

"What a person!" Pan Pengcheng had never seen a place where Wang Zerong was not welcome, and after arriving here, he sat there and said indignantly.

Lin Yigui smiled bitterly and said: "The situation is different in different places, and it is a good thing for their family, if Reporter Wang disturbs their family's affairs, he may see you as an enemy!" ”

took the hookah from Zhao Dashan's hand, Wang Zerong took a few puffs, and the depression in his heart was resolved, and he sighed: "It's mainly poor words!" ”

After listening to Pan Pengcheng's account of the situation just now, Zhao Dashan squatted there and pondered for a while before saying: "Township Chief Lin also knows the situation in the village, it is too poor here, and it is so poor that it can't keep people!" Since the daughter of the Ji family went to the city to bring back less than a few thousand yuan a year, the girls in the village have put their hearts in the city! "You're talking about Ji Laosan's daughter?" Lin Yigui asked.

Nodding, Zhao Dashan said: "Isn't it her, doing that kind of thing is still being preached in the village, it seems to be so proud!" ”

Li Yongxin also said at this time: "Everyone knows that she is a chicken in the provincial capital, and the money is all for that purpose!" ”

"Tell me about this, she is now preaching in the village that now that society has changed, people in the city are laughing at poverty and not prostitution, and doing that thing will also pay taxes, which is good for the country and supports national construction!"

"You dead ghost, look at the Ji family's house, now their house is the best house in the village, you have the ability to build a house like theirs." Zhao Dashan's wife heard him speak, walked out of the house, and said loudly.

When his wife said it in front of outsiders, Zhao Dashange's face couldn't hold back, and he said loudly: "You dead mother-in-law, do you also want to go to the city?" "Do you think that the old lady will not dare, I will go to the city with the daughter of the Ji family tomorrow, it is better than living a hard life with you!" The two yelled. What's going on!

Wang Zerong really can't understand the thoughts of these people now, squatting there and even forgetting to smoke, his mind is in chaos.

At this time, Pan Gucheng took out a hundred yuan from his body, handed it to Zhao Dashan's wife, and said, "Do you have anything to eat?" ”

Seeing the hundred yuan in Pan Pengcheng's hand, Zhao Dashan's Fan Niang snatched it over and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely arrange a delicious meal for you." "Dead mother-in-law, how can you take other people's money?" Zhao Dashan quit. "What do you have no money to eat? It just so happened that Ji Lao Wu went up the mountain and heard that he had shot a pheasant, so I went to get it. Glancing at him, his wife smiled and walked out.

Seeing his wife leaving, Zhao Dashan said to Lin Yigui embarrassedly: "This dead mother-in-law is like this, greedy for money!" Wang Zerong said: "It is appropriate to pay for meals, and 100 yuan is less." Shaking his hand, Zhao Dashan said: "The things in the mountains are not worth a few words." Seeing him gritting his teeth and saying big words, Wang Zerong once again felt the difficulties here. "Team Leader Zhao, haven't you thought about how to make the village unfold?"

Zhao Dashan held his head in his hands and said: "Who doesn't want to show it, you don't know, our culture is not high, we really can't think of it!" ”

Speaking of culture, Wang Zerong asked: "I see that the girl who is going to marry is still young, didn't she go to school?" ”

Lin Yigui said at this time: "The girl's surname is Li, the girl's name is Li Sanya, there is only one substitute teacher here, scattered hundreds of families all over the mountain, usually every time they come to school on the mountain road, in the past year, the substitute teacher was taken to the city by the child, there is no substitute teacher here, and the children are scattered!" "Where's the school?" "You saw it when you came, the worst houses are now closed." Wang Zerong then remembered that there was indeed a long wooden pole erected there. There is no place for the children to go to school!

Wang Zerong realized that it is so important to carry out the construction of hope schools in the country, and education is also an important part of the exhibition in a place!

Zhao Dashan said: "Li Sanya is sixteen years old this year, and she works hard in school. The teacher said that she worked very hard, the Li family was too poor, it was impossible for her to go to school, her brother and brother-in-law tried their best to promote her marriage, for their family, it was a good thing for him to marry Tian Huaizhu, it was better than going to the provincial capital with the Ji family, alas! It's a pity that such a good girl! ”

Everyone was eating at Zhao Dashan's house, when they saw a girl named Li Sanya running here, looked at Wang Zerong, knelt in front of him all of a sudden, and whispered: "I know you are a good person, please help me, I don't want to get married, I want to study!" ”

Wang Zerong's nose was a little sour, and he suddenly remembered a past incident in his mind, when he first went to work in Huancheng Township, he had been a teacher for a few days, and he went to a remote mountainous area in a county to be a teacher for a few months, at that time, there was also a little girl in the second grade in the class, one day the same desperate expression came to herself, she said to herself: "Teacher Wang, the family has received someone else's bride price, I am going to get married, and I can no longer come to class!" ”

Wang Zerong didn't understand the student's thoughts at that time, but he was a little surprised, and gave the female student a copy of "Journey to the West" signed by himself, which was a story that students liked to listen to him after evening self-study.

Thinking about it now, Wang Zerong regretted it very much, the female student must have had a kind of hope at that time, hoping that he could help her change her family's decision, but unfortunately he didn't give her hope, so he watched her leave the school.

Looking at the girl kneeling in front of him, Wang Zerong's eyes were a little sour, and he only helped the girl with his hand, and choked up: "Don't worry, with me here, no one can do anything to you!" ”H
