Listening to what these villagers said, Chu Nan only had a rough idea, saying that a few days ago, a total of two groups of people came to Huazigou, all of whom came to Meng Caijun, and finally made Meng Caijun very angry, and it is said that there was almost a big fight, and in the end, those two groups of people were driven out by the villagers.

What these villagers know is also very limited, what is going on still have to ask the person concerned, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing when I came over, no wonder I was almost misunderstood, at this time, Tie Zhu probably saw that Chu Nan was different from the previous two groups of people, and apologized to Chu Nan again and again, Chu Nan saw that this iron pillar was so honest, and hurriedly smiled and said It didn't matter.

Huazigou is actually not big, there are about sixty or seventy households, and the population is two or three hundred, so Chu Nan asked Meng Caijun what was going on with teaching the children to learn.

The fat sister next to her said: "Our children in Huazigou have never gone to school before, and only a few children from two or three families have been sent to study in other places, but they have come back after a few years of study, and the tuition is too expensive." And because there is no school in the local area, you have to pay for room and board and accommodation to study in other places, as you can see, we are here...... I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, we ourselves are illiterate, and it's good to be able to write our own names, plus I'm too poor, so I think I'll let the children work from an early age, just have a lot of strength. ”

It wasn't until Sister Meng married us Huazigou that she set up a school in her own home, so that the children usually went to her to study, and she didn't charge a penny.

"Honestly...... Sister Meng is usually hard enough, but now Brother Liu is gone, she has been dead for so many years, in addition to teaching the children to read, she usually has to work in the fields to earn more money for the children to study, we see that Sister Meng is so tired, I want to shed tears as long as I mention it. ”

The iron pillar said: "I usually want to help Sister Meng go to the field to do some work, but Sister Meng always refuses to let me, isn't it just now, it just so happens that Sister Meng can't spare time today, and she wants to teach her children to read and study, so I secretly walked to the field to help her clear the weeds." ”

Chu Nan was a little moved when he heard this, and was moved by Aunt Meng and these simple villagers.

"The one in front is Sister Meng's home."

Chu Nan followed them into a courtyard, there were a few benches in this courtyard, and there were some children's toys on the ground, the fat eldest sister explained: "These toys are all brought back by Sister Meng when Meijia came back from vacation, they are toys bought for the children, and a few are mailed back by Meiling in other places, the transportation here is not convenient, and the courier refuses to come, Meiling will send them to her sister Meijia's school, and then Meijia will bring them back during the holidays." ”

Chu Nan took a deep breath, and when he went to see Wu Bei again, Wu Bei's eyes were already a little red, such a poor and remote village, if it weren't for Meng Caijun's kind family, their children usually want to play with a toy, Wu Bei usually does some public welfare activities, but she has never personally walked into this kind of poor family, she didn't know until today that in China, where the economy is developing rapidly, there is such an unknown place, They are worried about their children's reading, about living and clothing, and even about dressing and wearing shoes, because on the way here, they also saw a few children running barefoot, saying that they couldn't afford to buy shoes and .......

Chu Nan took Wu Bei's hand and said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

The sound of reading came from inside the room, Chu Nan gently buckled the door and walked in, but saw a woman in shabby purple clothes standing on the ground reading the textbook, six children squatting on the kang and looking at the textbook seriously, seeing Chu Nan and Wu Bei walking in, the woman just glanced at it, and immediately read the text seriously there.

Chu Nan didn't bother, just stood at the door with Wu Bei.

This middle-aged woman should be in her forties, but she looks obviously older, but her eyes are very big and very bright, even very beautiful, her figure is also well maintained, even if she is wearing such shabby clothes, but it still can't hide her perfect figure, a woman in her forties can maintain this figure, it is really rare, her skin may be because of the wind and sun, it looks a little dry, her facial features are very delicate, even if she is slightly older now, can still see that she must have been a big beauty when she was young, and Liu Meiling looks more like her .......

She read the whole text all the way and said to the children, "Children, you read the text silently a few times first, and Aunt Meng will explain it to you in a while." ”

Her voice is so beautiful that it's hard to imagine a woman living in such a place at this age and still be able to maintain such a beautiful voice.

"You're here for me, aren't you?" She turned to look at Chu Nan and Wu Bei, her attitude was very amiable, even if she was wearing this dress, she still felt very elegant, and even made you ignore her old age due to years and fatigue.

Several children on the kang blinked at Chu Nan and Wu Bei with big eyes, especially Wu Bei, who had never seen such a beautiful aunt.

The fat sister said beside her: "Sister Meng, the two of them are Meiling's friends." ”

Meng Caijun's eyes flashed with excitement for a moment, and the faint trace of imperceptible hostility in his eyes disappeared, and he said, "Let's go talk to other rooms with me, don't disturb the children's studies." ”

Chu Nan smiled and nodded, "Okay, Aunt Meng." ”

Chu Nan and Wu Bei held hands and walked into another smaller room with Meng Caijun, and Tie Zhu, Fat Sister and the others immediately said goodbye.

This small room made Chu Nan's eyes shine, although it was still very simple, but it looked very clean and comfortable, and there were a few fluffy toys in the room, Meng Caijun explained with a smile next to him: "This is Meiling and Meijia's room, there are only two rooms in my house, and it is not good for children to sleep with their parents all the time, so when they built a house, they built an extra room, and when they were young, they would not be crowded when they slept in this room, and when they were older, Meiling was no longer at home......." ”

Meng Caijun was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You guys sit down quickly, I don't have much to entertain you here." ”

Chu Nan hurriedly said: "Aunt Meng, don't say that, we are all friends of Meiling, and you are our elders." ”

Meng Caijun looked at Chu Nan and Wu Bei, and said with a smile: "I feel good that Meiling can have friends like you, it seems that she is still very good outside...... From your bearing, I can see that you must not be ordinary children. ”

Chu Nan and Wu Bei were amazed in their hearts, this Aunt Meng's eyes are so poisonous, but this makes them even more worried, Liu Meiling's matter I don't know if she can see the clues, in case it ...... So what to do?

Meng Caijun walked to the table, picked up the kettle, poured two cups of hot water and served them to Chu Nan and Wu Bei, sighed and said, "There is no tea at home, so I can only invite you to drink some hot water." ”

Chu Nan said with a smile: "Our favorite drink is hot water, Auntie sit down, don't be busy entertaining us, we are all good friends of Meiling, don't be so polite." ”

Meng Caijun smiled and said, "This is all as it should be." ”

"Even if she has lived in the ravine for so many years, her cultivation and etiquette have been cultivated since she was a child, and she can't change it in her life."

Meng Caijun sat down at this time, looked at Chu Nan and Wu Bei and said, "Meiling...... Are you alright? ”

Chu Nan's heart was a little heavy, and he deliberately pretended to be relaxed and said: "Meiling is very good, it's just that she is too busy with work, and she originally wanted to call you, but she said that it was difficult to receive a signal here, so she had to give up." ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as she's good, it doesn't matter if she calls or not. Are you her colleagues in life? ”

"It's not." Chu Nan shook his head and said, "We are friends in her life. ”

"yes." Wu Bei said, "I am her good sister, she is a good girl, and she often talks to us about how good my aunt is." ”

"I, the mother, failed to take care of them, and let them work hard outside at a young age, alas, ....... But there are still a lot of children here who can't afford to read, and I can't let them go, and if I leave, there will be no one here to take care of them. ”

Chu Nan said solemnly: "Auntie, your spirit makes me admire. ”

"Spirit?" Meng Caijun smiled indifferently, "Actually, Auntie is just an ordinary woman, but everyone has feelings, and after living here for a long time, I will also like these children, they are all pitiful, they can't study since they were young, and they can't enjoy the same life as their peers in the city...... If you like it, you have to pay, otherwise how can you call it like? I don't expect them to learn much or more, I just want to be able to make them understand some life lessons in books. ”

No wonder Liu Meiling is so kind, you can see the clues from her mother, Wu Bei and Chu Nan admire women like Meng Caijun very much, and Meng Caijun heard that Chu Nan and Wu Bei are friends of his eldest daughter, and he doesn't see them, after chatting for a while, Meng Caijun got up and said that he wanted to go over to see the children, and then come to talk to Chu Nan and Wu Bei after the children went home.

Meng Caijun went out for a while and came back soon, Chu Nan thought of what the villagers said before, and couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, did someone come to disturb you some time ago?" Who are they? ”

Seeing that Meng Caijun was a little hesitant, Chu Nan immediately said: "Don't worry, we and Meiling are best friends, and Meiling has told us about you and my deceased uncle." Is it your former family member in Kyoto who came to harass you? ”

Meng Caijun looked at Chu Nan in surprise, secretly surprised, what a smart man.

Meng Caijun sighed and said, "That's right, they are all from my Meng family." ”

Chu Nan asked tentatively, "Is it convenient to say?" Maybe there's something I can do to help you. ”

"yes." Wu Bei also said beside him, "Brother Chu is very capable, if you have any trouble, just say it, as long as we can help, we are duty-bound." ”

"Well, thank you, but it's not something you can help with." Meng Caijun said, "Back then, my family did not agree to my marriage with the child's father, and the family once wanted to arrest me back, but I eloped with the child's father and ran all the way to this remote ravine." ”

"The power of the Meng family is not small, and they began to look for my whereabouts everywhere, but this ravine is too remote, and by the time they sent someone to find me, I was already married and gave birth to Meiling, so after my family learned the news, they angrily cut off the father-daughter-mother-daughter relationship with me, and since then, there has been no contact."

Chu Nan sighed and said: "The hearts of parents in the world, in fact, they also feel sorry for you to stay in such a poor country. ”

"You don't understand." Meng Caijun shook his head and said, "They just think that I have embarrassed them, and think that I should find a good person, but I found such a poor boy, but sometimes feelings are difficult to control, this path is my own choice, I have no regrets!" ”

Chu Nan was full of admiration, and he had no regrets.
