After returning from the field, Qiao Xin took everyone to the village school to watch the children attend classes.

There are only two private teachers in their fifties, one teaching Chinese and the other teaching mathematics.

English, physical education, and painting are subjects that these two aunt-level farmers can't teach.

There are 26 children in three classrooms and three grades, and two teachers take turns teaching them.

After the third grade, these children have to walk seven kilometres a day to attend a regular primary school outside the mountains.

At this time, it was lunch time, and the children each held a bowl and waited in line for the teacher to share the meal, and their lunch was a bowl of rice and a dried salted radish per person.

It's late autumn, and most of the children are still barefoot and wearing thin clothes.

Xiao Rui and the staff of the research team were all stunned.

He Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "It's the 21st century now, and there are still such poor and backward rural areas? ”

Qiao Xin: "The living conditions in the remote mountainous areas are like this, so our task is very arduous, we have to find a project in the shortest possible time to guide and support the villagers here to start their own businesses, so that they can get rid of poverty and move to build houses outside the mountains as soon as possible." ”

He Xiaoxiao: "Let the villagers go to the outside of the mountain to live in a shed first, and then we will support them to start a business, what can they do if they live in this ravine?" ”

Qiao Xin couldn't help but scold her: "Don't forget that these villagers are not ordinary villagers, if they have a comfortable place to live, they will have no motivation to start a business." ”

He Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded by Qiao Xin, holding her mobile phone and pretending to walk aside to make a call.

In the evening, the group moved into the village chief's old house, the only two-story building in the village, and although the walls were mottled and the ceiling showed signs of water seepage, it was much better than the crumbling mud houses.

At this time, Qiao Xin was stir-frying in the kitchen, and Xiao Rui helped her light the fire.

Xiao Rui saw Qiao Xin chopping bones and meat with quick movements, and couldn't help asking:

"Mayor Qiao, is it true that people with powerful mouths work harder?"

"Mayor Xiao, what kind of fallacy are you? Let's not talk about that, I think you are very economically minded, what do you think we should develop in this village? Qiao Xin said while stir-frying.

Xiao Rui looked at her eagerly and said, "You think too highly of me, right?" ”

Qiao Xin rolled her eyes and replied, "Do you know that your ruffian expression doesn't match your image?" ”

"Poof~ Mayor Qiao, you're so cute!" Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Qiao Xin's face turned red.

He Xiaoxiao, who was hiding at the door and peeking at them, was so jealous that her eyes were cold.

She felt that if she didn't confess to Xiao Rui again, Qiao Xin hooked Xiao Rui away.

She was angry and anxious, and decided to ask Xiao Rui to go for a walk at the edge of the village after dinner.

Who knew that when she finished dinner, she just wanted to go to Xiao Rui, but she saw Qiao Xin and Xiao Rui each carrying a big firewood knife and saying that they were going up the mountain to find wild fruits.

He Xiaoxiao was extremely conflicted, she wanted to go with them, but she felt that the threesome was awkward, so if she didn't go, she missed another opportunity.

Just when she decided to follow, she couldn't find Qiao Xin and Xiao Rui.

At the moment, the two men were trotting up the hill.

Qiao Xin: "Hurry up, it's dark later, it's very scary on the mountain." ”

Xiao Rui ran after Qiao Xin: "Don't you know taekwondo?" Afraid of what? By the way, are you sure that there are really wild lemons and olives on this mountain? ”

Qiao Xin: "Sure! I've seen it before, and the old people here make traditional handmade dried olives and lemon sauce. ”

Xiao Rui: "Tell the villagers to make it in large quantities, and we will help them sell it online when the time comes!" ”

Qiao Xin's eyes lit up: "I have a way, we will assist them in selling local products through e-commerce." ”
