Chapter 656: Mountainous Areas
Where there are mountains, there are mountains, and where there are mountains, there are too many poor people who can't get out of the mountains.
There is only one school between several villages, and students need to climb mountains and wade through rivers in groups, often for more than an hour on the road.
So lunch is all settled at school.
At the foot of a large hill there is a dilapidated elementary school, the so-called playground is nothing more than a flat ground formed by children playing regularly, potholes full of dirt and stones, the only basketball hoop, and there is no ball frame on it.
There are two rows of houses, with classrooms in the front and offices and dormitories in the back.
The adobe house was a black one, with plastic pasting at the windows, and a chimney sticking out and emitting white smoke.
In winter, the room is heated with a stove.
In this way, it is convenient for the children, who can gather around the stove to heat the lunch box on the stove, and at least eat a mouthful of hot food.
Most of the food in the lunch box is dry flatbread, cabbage and potatoes with no oil visible, which is not bad, and some are just cornmeal cakes and home-pickled pickles.
The little black hands, holding the flatbread and eating it, are called sweet, and they don't forget to fight with other classmates.
Bitter? I don't think so!
The children who grew up in the mountains did not feel bitter because they had never tasted sweet.
In their eyes, isn't life like this?
At this time, a plainly dressed female teacher pushed the door in, and suddenly roared to stop the noisy crowd.
Immediately afterwards, a man and a woman followed, and the children's eyes showed a look of surprise.
Obviously, just by the way they dressed, it was clear that these two were not from here.
The teacher walked to the podium and said, "Students, these two teachers are from the city, everyone is warmly welcome!" ”
The children all put down their lunch boxes, and the little black hands clapped and smiled at the same time.
Because they saw these two outsiders move in a big box.
The teacher smiled: "Let me introduce, this is Teacher Wang, this is Teacher Liu, they came to our primary school from the city to send books and food to everyone!" ”
The children applauded even more.
Wang Changhu and Liu Jie nodded lightly, then took out bread, milk and ham sausages from the box, and sent them to everyone one by one.
After the hair, the children did not move, but looked at the female teacher.
The teacher gave an order, and the children dared to open it and eat it, although some students had already eaten it, but where was this little thing? Destroy it in minutes.
This was the last class, and after the delivery, Wang Changhu and Liu Jie said goodbye to the teachers and got into a pickup truck to go back.
Liu Jie sat in the back, leaning against the glass and looking out of the window in distraction, usually liking this kind of natural scenery, but now it has become gray.
It's a color of poverty.
Liu Jie said with red eyes: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a poor place!" ”
Wang Changhu didn't have any emotion, he was used to this kind of scene, because his hometown was like this.
"That's good, there are still many students who can't afford to go to school because of family difficulties!"
Liu Jie muttered: "You said that even if you can go to school, how many students can get out of the mountains?" ”
When I went to school, I only knew a few more words and knew some simple arithmetic, and with the teaching conditions and quality of this school, there were only a dozen people in the whole school who could go to junior high school, and then high school? What about universities?
So maybe none of these people can get out of the mountains.
Wang Changhu smiled bitterly: "I saw a story, which is also a real thing, a reporter interviewed a child herding sheep in the mountains. ”
"Why are you herding sheep? He said it was to make money. Why make money? In order to marry a daughter-in-law. Why do you marry a daughter-in-law? In order to have a baby. Why have a baby? Or for the sake of herding sheep! ”
Liu Jie sighed and said, "It's this kind of cycle that makes this place so poor!" But what can we do? Just sending things and books? What can change? ”
Before coming, Liu Jie had an argument with Wang Changhu.
She suggested bringing more extracurricular books to enrich the children's extracurricular knowledge, but Wang Changhu said that it was better to buy some bread and ham, and the children liked it more.
At this point, Wang Changhu is right, the hunger and thirst for food far exceeds knowledge, and Liu Jie understands that no one may want to read the books he was given.
At that time, in the classroom, after putting food for the children, most of the children did not know how to eat ham sausages and drink milk.
When Liu Jie saw those children swallowing those foods, she couldn't bear to look at them anymore and covered her mouth and exited the classroom.
Seeing such news on TV and on the Internet is far less memorable than experiencing it in person.
Wang Changhu said: "Maybe it won't change anything, but it doesn't prevent us from doing what we can. What if this student is determined to come back and change the mountain in the future? ”
Liu Jie said softly: "Our strength is too small! ”
Since having this direction, Sanxiao first looked for children who could not afford to go to school in the Los Angeles urban area, and then gradually expanded to this impoverished mountainous area.
The more the scope expanded, the deeper Liu Jie felt, and the more she felt small.
Wang Changhu said: "If everyone who lives a worry-free life is willing to lend a helping hand, the power is not small!" ”
Liu Jie shook her head lightly, "Difficult!" ”
It's really hard, not everyone can see this, and not everyone can do it like these two people.
Wang Changhu smiled and said, "Don't worry, our boss is developing his career, and one day he will soar, we will be able to do more!" ”
If you want to do these things, you can't do it with your heart, you have to have money.
Money is not everything, but there are some things that only money can solve.
Liu Jie said: "We can't put so much pressure on the boss, we have to work hard to develop, and the money earned in education will be fed back into education!" ”
Wang Changhu clenched his fists and said, "Come on!" ”
After a bumpy ride, I finally got out of the mountains.
Wang Changhu's mobile phone rang suddenly, glanced at the number, and hurriedly answered the call.
"Grandpa!"
Just after answering the phone, Wang Changhu lost his mind.
Liu Jie asked softly, "Is there something at home?" ”
After a long time, Wang Changhu said that he swallowed his throat and said, "It's okay at home, but it's ...... Xiaojuan...... I'm getting married! ”
Liu Jie patted Wang Changhu's shoulder from behind, "She gets married, and you can really be free!" ”
Wang Changhu didn't speak, he couldn't say a word.
I knew that there would be such a day after all, but when this day came, it was still difficult to accept.
When she gets married, can she really be free?
The person who lives in his heart, gone, his heart will be empty!
