Such a life is unthinkable in Suni and Yiling. Although it was not uncommon for the two to see children begging along the streets in Jiangshi, it is reasonable that when love is deceived and pity becomes a luxury, people gradually become numb.

However, in recent years, with the improvement of the system and the rapid development of society, some opening up measures at the upper level have indeed enabled many places to get rid of poverty and become rich. At least in Jiangshi, there were no beggars in 2008.

The improvement of the environment brings about the improvement of the overall quality and the warming of people's hearts.

At least, after seeing the two brothers Chen Xiaoli and Chen Xiaoji with their own eyes, Suni and Yiling, who had accused each other of being "unloving", were also shocked like never before!

A mud house that can't be called a house, except for a few tiles to cover your head, is almost no different from the toilet of Grandma Zhong's house. Although there is a wooden door, the window has no glass and is only pasted with paper.

is such a home, so that Suni and Yiling can see what it means to be "poor"!

There were no computers, televisions, floor mats, or sofas, and the only furniture that counted as a tattered wooden table and two chairs that were extremely disproportionate to the height of the table.

Suni and Yiling have grown so big, where have they ever seen such a bleak scene? Although before the demolition of Songshang Village, the two of them were also born in the countryside, but even the Jiangshang Rural Area 20 years ago was not so broken!

Yiling really thought that Grandma Zhong's house was the worst place she had encountered so far, but compared with Chen Xiaoli's house, Grandma Zhong's house, which has a bed, a window and an electric fan, is indeed a mansion!

The team of 5 people carried things into the house, and a gray-faced child, I don't know if it was his brother Chen Xiaoli or his younger brother Chen Xiaoji, was sitting on a pile of hay in the corner of the house, reading a book.

When a stranger comes in, he doesn't raise his head, as if everything in this world has nothing to do with him, so detached and indifferent.

This attitude really surprised several adult children, and a boy who was traveling with him couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Why didn't this kid react?" ”

The president glanced at him. walked straight to the children of the Chen family, squatted down, and the president asked, "Brother, is this Chen Xiaoli's home?" ”

There was no answer. The child sits on a haystack and continues to read.

But Suni obviously noticed that this kid didn't turn the page, and the two eyes were straight together, just staring at one place, and I didn't know, what the hell was he looking at?

"Whoa!" The boy just now called the child, and in his ear, snapped his fingers, and said, "President, this kid is not deaf, right?" ”

was given a blank look by the president.

Suni sat next to the child, looked at the book in the child's hand, smiled and pretended to be enthusiastic: "Are you watching "The Crow Drinks Water"? Haha, I know how the crow drank the water in the end! Do you know? ”

The child finally reacted a little, pursed his lips, "Use stones." He said.

His voice was soft, flat, like an adult. This is really not what Suni expected, she thought that such a young child was always milky and cute, but she didn't expect it to be so ...... Ripe.

"I guess you're Chen Xiaoli, right?" Suni continued to smile and talk to him, "Because I saw that there is a name on your book, and Chen Xiaoli is written." ”

"It's not!" The child was shy and smiled, but his eyes were still on the book, and he said, "Brother has gone to cut the pigweed." ”

"Oh, so you're a younger brother. Oops, guessed wrong. So, punish me for cooking at your house, okay? I have noodles, but I don't have a place to cook, so I'll borrow your house to cook, okay? ”

The child nodded, and finally, gave Suni a straight face, put down the book, he pulled Suni to the other end of the room, pointed to a small stove made of bricks against the wall, and said to Suni: "Burn it here." ”

Suni touched his head: "Then to thank you, borrow me a place to cook, and when my brother comes back, you and my brother will eat with us, okay?" ”

"Okay."

The child finally answered innocently like a child.

The president was also very happy, gave Suni a thumbs up, and said, "You are very suitable to be a kindergarten teacher." ”

As he spoke, he moved a large iron pot on the ground to the well outside, ready to wash it, and then used it.

The five people divided the work, Suni and Yiling were responsible for washing and scrubbing, and the boys helped clean the house, repair windows, and mend tiles.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, Chen Xiaoli came back with a bamboo basket on his back, different from his younger brother's indifference at the beginning, Chen Xiaoli may have had the experience of being trapped by help before, and when he saw Suni and his party, he didn't need them to speak, he could understand their intentions.

He shouted especially politely: "Hello brothers and sisters." ”

And he said, "Thank you for coming to my house." ”

Then he carried a small bamboo basket on his back and went to the back of the house alone. Suni was curious and followed him, and saw that he was squatting on the ground to cut pigweed, and Suni was next to him and also learned to cut it.

He asked casually: "Brother, where did these two pigs come from?" ”

Chen Xiaoli replied: "Auntie brought it." My aunt taught me how to raise pigs, saying, "When I raise them, I will pull them and sell them, so that I can have money to educate my younger brother." ”

Suni's heart touched. Then he asked, "What about you?" Are you studying now? ”

"I started reading it this year. Teacher Li allowed me to take my younger brother to school with me. ”

"You're in the same class as your brother?"

"Hmm. My brother is smarter than me, and he knows more words than I do. ”

After a pause, Chen Xiaoli glanced at Suni and asked, "Sister, where are you from?" ”

"I'm from Jiangshi."

"Where's Jiang Shi?"

"Well...... Suni didn't know how to answer, so she had to say, "It's far away from you." ”

"Sister, are you a college student?"

"This ......" Suni was embarrassed, her pretty face turned red, and she said vaguely: "Sort of." ”

"Then sister, can you stay and teach our children here?"

"Huh?" Suni was stunned. This child's words caught her off guard.

Jiang Yiming suddenly walked over and said to Chen Xiaoli: "Why do you want your sister to stay?" ”

Chen Xiaoli replied: "Because Mr. Li is old, I am worried that he will not be able to teach. He also has bad eyes, and every time he writes on the blackboard, he has to stick his face to the blackboard. Originally, there was a new teacher, but he only taught for 1 year and left. I know, the new teacher is not used to living here.

If it's not for the people here, they have to go back, and it is impossible to stay here forever. Brother and sister, you are the same, right? ”

The child's words made Suni feel that it was not a taste. She didn't know if her trip like this was a good thing or a bad thing for these children? I felt that suddenly breaking into someone else's world seemed to be a disturbance. Thinking of Chen Xiaoji's indifferent reaction in the face of strangers, Fang understood that this was a child's clear that warmth was only temporary......

Jiang Yiming touched Chen Xiaoli's head and said, "Everyone has their own home, just like you have to take care of your younger brother, and your brother and sister have to go back to take care of their relatives." So, it's not that I don't want to stay, it's that I can't help it, I'm sorry for that.

However, it is better to ask for others than for yourself, and Mr. Li teaches you to read and write, so that you can read more. Well, you should also read more books and take the entrance examination to a county school in the future, so that you can not only go out, but also walk back? Can you understand what my brother means? ”

Chen Xiaoli didn't answer, Suni grabbed it first, frowned, and said, "Why do you educate children so much?" He has a poor environment and wants someone to teach, which is natural, you say this, as if you are telling him, recognize yourself, don't ask for help! Don't you think it's a bit cruel to talk to a kid about this?! ”

Jiang Yiming said: "The so-called adaptation to local conditions, I teach him to be self-reliant, how can it be cruel?" ”

"......"

"Everyone needs to face themselves and recognize the status quo as soon as possible when the living conditions do not allow it, right? He ......"

"Huh!"

Before Jiang Yiming finished speaking, Suni frowned, still waiting seriously, Chen Xiaoli suddenly covered his mouth and smiled.

He said, "Brother and sister, you are like uncles and aunts. ”

"W-What?" Suni didn't understand.

The child repeated: "You two, like aunts and uncles, are arguing. ”
