Even if the matter of tutoring was decided like this, under the repeated insistence of Uncle Li and everyone, Lu Yao and Hua Manlou stayed on the construction site at night to celebrate with everyone, and during the banquet, Uncle Li told Lu Yao a lot of interesting things about their hometown, and Lu Yao listened to it with relish.

Lingui Province, the country's first poor province, per capita GDP is not as good as one-thirtieth of the per capita of developed coastal cities, because the local mountains and rivers are many, and mostly stone mountains, agriculture is also relatively lagging behind, most of the province's economic income is supported by tourism, the stone mountains are covered with dense trees, the stone mountains will not have problems such as soil erosion, large lakes and rivers are everywhere, some rivers have been flowing down from the high along the winding foothills, forming a breathtaking waterfall landscape.

Because Lingui Province is located in the subtropical region, the temperature is kept at a relatively high temperature all year round, flowers and trees are evergreen all year round, and there is no obvious distinction between summer, autumn and winter, so some rich people or people who love to travel like to go here to play. According to the provincial financial report, the number of people who come to Lingui Province for tourism alone can reach millions a year.

However, tourism needs the government to invest, to manage, most of the money earned back to be used for government financial expenditure, ordinary people do not get much benefit, many capable people choose to move to a more promising place, but more people are not willing to leave their hometown, leaving this hot land where they have lived for generations.

The people who stayed also had to live, although their homes did not move away, the old people and children still stayed here, but the young and middle-aged people had to go away, he relied on a brute force in exchange for some hard-earned money, Uncle Li, more than 50% of the people on this construction site are from the same village, their village is located in the depths of the famous 100,000 mountains in Lingui Province, and has a very nice name - Tianyu Village.

As for who obtained this good-sounding name, no one remembers, people only know that it is very poor, very backward, and even the school where the children go to school is a watchtower that has been abandoned for many years, and that is still when the Japanese devils committed my divine power, they designed and built, after the defeat of the Japanese, it was used as the warehouse of the township supply and marketing cooperatives at the beginning, and later the supply and marketing cooperatives also closed down, and the villagers united to turn him into classrooms.

In Uncle Li's words, the watchtower is the only building in the whole village built of red bricks and green tiles, which can shelter from the wind and rain, and the children no longer have to be afraid of being wet by the heavy rain during class, swatting the textbooks, and washing away the tables, chairs and benches.

In the past few years, the state has supported the volunteer teaching part of the relatively large, and some colleges and universities are even willing to reserve the student status for the students who are volunteering to teach, but in recent years, I don't know what happened, and the volunteers who are willing to go to the remote mountainous areas such as Tianyuzhai to teach are getting fewer and fewer, without them, there is no new just to spread in, and the students can only rely on some of them have not been to formal colleges for a few days, but they know a little more words than ordinary people to invite teachers to teach by word and deed, and what they have learned is also conceivable.

Originally, Uncle Li didn't look at the education of children so much, in his heart, and many villagers like him who have little culture, boys can count from one to a hundred, can simply calculate accounts, and can write their own names, girls will get married sooner or later, and they don't need to go to school at all, but as they go to work in big cities, they have seen the rapid changes outside, and they have experienced the true feeling of the sentence that knowledge can change fate, and they decided to wear even one less clothes and eat one less mealIt is also necessary to provide children with a better education, so that they can rely on knowledge to walk out of the 100,000 mountains, enter the modern society, and live a life that their older generation cannot dream of in their lifetime.

Although there are some things that Uncle Li said that Lu Yao doesn't understand now, he feels that a person like Uncle Li who has been baptized by the years always has a deeper understanding of life than himself, and he chooses to listen carefully to Uncle Li's confession. When the celebration was over, Lu Yao was even a little reluctant to leave this seemingly dirty, but actually cleanest place in the world, because there was the purest soul here.

……

……

Back in the dormitory, they had already fallen asleep, because the next day the three of them had to get up very early to catch the train and plane home, Lu Yao lay on the bed after washing lightly, this night was a night of tossing and turning and unable to sleep. Until Chen Dong, who was the first to get up to catch the train, got up, Lu Yao was still lying on the bed with his eyes open.

"Lu Yao, are you awake or haven't you slept?" Chen Dong and Lu Yao's beds were on the side of the dormitory, and when Chen Dong got up, he saw Lu Yao's appearance and joked.

"Can't sleep!" Lu Yao saw that Chen Dong had found that he was not sleeping, so he simply sat up, put on his clothes, and helped Chen Dong tidy up his things.

"I didn't hear you talk about going home, what's the matter, don't you plan to go home during this year's winter vacation?" Chen Dong just asked casually, after all, he didn't think that Lu Yao's filial child would not go home for the New Year.

"Well, I won't be going home for the Chinese New Year this year, so I'll come back when I have time!" Lu Yao sighed and said.

Lu Yao is actually a very traditional person, in his subconscious, the Chinese New Year should be a family together, pasting couplets, eating reunion dinners, watching the Spring Festival Gala, and chatting about the harvest and experience of the year. He even always remembered the classic advertising slogan when he watched TV when he was a child: There is a source to call the New Year.

But when he learned what Hua Manlou did today, and what Uncle Li told him about Lin Gui Province and Tianyu Village, he felt that he should go there for a walk, take a look, and bring his years of learning to those children who need knowledge more, a person should do valuable things when he lives, in his opinion, this is a very valuable and meaningful thing, if he doesn't do it, he will regret it, and he will feel guilty.

Lu Yao agreed and would not regret it, but he really didn't know how he should talk to his godfather Lu Yiqian about this matter, this was the first year he had left his godfather, the father and son hadn't seen each other for several months, Lu Yao missed his godfather, and his godfather also missed Lu Yao, and no one wanted to hang up when he called on weekdays, and they all wanted to listen to each other's voices and listen to what was happening around each other.

Whenever Lu Yao picked up his mobile phone, he even couldn't help but think of Lu Yiqian's sadness and sadness after hearing the news, sitting alone on the sofa at the door in a daze, Lu Yao's heart was not a taste, the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, the more sad he was.

"You really won't go back, what can be more important than going home for the New Year, I think you should think about it." Chen Dong said in a slightly reproachful tone.

Lu Yao told Chen Dong about the events of the day, but he didn't expect Chen Dong to say without thinking after listening to it: "Hua Manlou is really amazing, the contemporary living Lei Feng, Lu Yao, you tell Hua Manlou and Uncle Li, I won't go home for the New Year, I will also go to volunteer with you." ”

Chen Dong's reaction surprised Lu Yao a little, he didn't expect Chen Dong to be so positive, but although Lu Yao was happy from the bottom of his heart, so many people were willing to do this meaningful thing, but he couldn't agree to Chen Dong, because he was also a participant in this matter, not a decision-maker, and he had to ask Hua Manlou's consent to do it. He told Chen Dong his thoughts, but who would have thought that Chen Dong would have to refund the ticket regardless of it.

The two of them originally controlled their voices relatively low when they spoke, but because Chen Dong was excited for a while, his voice was a little too loud, and he woke up Tan Xin and Li Youcai, who were still asleep, and what Lu Yao didn't expect was that Tan Xin and Li Youcai also actively clamored to be volunteers after listening to Chen Dong's narration, and the 602 dormitory suddenly began to be lively.

Lu Yao also had no choice, before dawn, the three of them were forced to call Hua Manlou, what made Lu Yao even happier was that Hua Manlou was also very excited when he heard the news, and without saying a word, he rode a bicycle to the 602 dormitory, and several people discussed the next trip.

thought that the list of final volunteers would be confirmed on the five of them, but no one thought that when Huang Ruoyun, Lin Jiayi and Su Anran heard the news, they were also clamoring to go to Lingui Province with them to teach. The team of five people instantly became eight people, and because of Su Anran's participation, the conversation was even more excited, and he had to mobilize Lu Yao to lead everyone to a pledge meeting.

The so-called oath meeting is very simple, eight people get together for a meal, K songs, and have a good time together, Lu Yao really can't find an excuse to refuse, so he agreed, after some discussion by everyone, the time was set at four o'clock in the afternoon of this day, and the places for eating and singing were arranged by the talk, everyone AA system, no one paid much, as for the part that was full of flowers, Lu Yao rushed to bear it, and everyone had no opinion on this plan, and the matter was decided.

Because there was still some time before four o'clock in the afternoon, and the tickets that everyone bought to go home were almost there, Li Youcai and Chen Dong, as representatives, went to the train station to refund the tickets for those who had already bought tickets to go home, and talked about arranging meals and singing, and everyone began to get busy again.

Lu Yao can see that these people sincerely want to bring knowledge to the children of Tianyu Village, not to play and travel alive through this reason, and they are also sincerely happy in their hearts, the eight of them are a very small collective, so small that they are not worth mentioning, but in Lu Yao's opinion, no matter how weak and small their strength is, as long as they can pass on the love they can contribute, it is worth it.

Lu Yao also hopes that through this activity, he can leave a flame of hope in the hearts of those children in Tianyu Village, and hopes that they will not forget to give back to the society when they grow up, and pass on their skills and love to those in need, Lu Yao firmly believes that with everyone's attention and enthusiasm for this meaningful thing, this society will become better and better sooner or later.
