According to the social practice arrangement, one-third of the staff will stay in school to impart knowledge to the children, and the other personnel will be divided into two teams to visit nearby villages, and the two teams will be led by the class teacher and the counselor respectively.

The people who stayed behind were led by Sun Chen. Originally, Sun Chen wanted to join the visiting team, but the head teacher asked him to stay as the captain, so he didn't ask for more.

Shen Feng was in the head teacher's team, and there were 2 villages in their plan, both of which were around the village where they lived.

Shen Feng and the others began to walk the streets and alleys, constantly going in and out of various households, and learning about the local customs, economic conditions and the composition of the village.

If it was noon, I would have a light meal at the interviewee's house, and then give some food expenses, and a week passed.

"Brother Shen, the dialect on their side is too difficult to understand, show me the notes you made." Xie Yu followed behind Shen Feng and chattered.

This girl is from the Western Continent, with a relatively straightforward personality and a sweet voice, and often mingles with boys. And she and Shen Feng have always been closer.

"Here, to be honest, I didn't understand a few words." Shen Feng gave his notebook to Xie Yu.

"Let your brother Sun Chen help you hear it." Xie Yu sat next to Shen Feng on a stone on the side of the road.

"Besides, I'll ask him to listen to it for me at night. He said that there was no sound for three miles here, and he couldn't understand it. Shen Feng shrugged and pursed his lips.

"Ahh So what to do? ”

"I'll go back and ask the principal, I haven't seen him in the past few days." Shen Feng said, "Let's go, the next one." My phone is going to run out of battery, you remember to record it. ”

"Hmm. Rest assured. Xie Yu followed behind Shen Feng's buttocks.

They came to the house of a wealthy-looking family and saw a young man carrying water into the room.

"Hello, we are students of Xilu University, doing social practice here, we ......"

"I know, I heard. Come in, you're done. Mom, I'll talk to them for a while. Before Shen Feng could finish speaking, the young man opened his mouth directly.

"Do you speak Mandarin? That's great! Xie Yu happily grabbed Shen Feng's arm and jumped up.

"Well, the accent is heavy." The young man blushed.

"It's okay, at least we can understand." Xie Yu pulled Shen Feng into the room.

"I came out to work before graduating from high school, and I didn't study well, so I didn't have anything to go to." The young man led them to his room, a single bed, a desk, and a chair. "Sit on the bed, I have a small room, and I am happy."

"Why don't you continue studying?" As soon as Shen Feng and the two of them sat down, Xie Yu asked.

"My academic performance was not good, and I stopped going to the first semester of high school, but I took the entrance examination in the second year of high school and got my graduation certificate. I originally wanted to be a soldier, but I didn't pass the physical examination because of flat feet. "The young man looks about the same age as Shen Feng, and he is very talkative.

"How old are you, it feels like we're about the same." Shen Feng looked at the young man.

"I'm '93, and if I go to college, I would be a freshman."

"I feel like you're about the same age as us, we're both the same year. This girl is a little smaller, you can just call him sister. Shen Feng was surprised that this young man, who looked two years older than him, was actually the same age as himself.

"Great, we were still out there just now, and no one translated the content of our interviews for the past few days. Now it's okay, someone helps. Xie Yu can't wait to release those recordings now and let the young man translate them for him.

"I can help. It just so happens that I'm fine these days. ”

"Great." Shen Feng and Xie Yu spoke in unison.

"I have something I want to ask, how is your education here?" Shen Feng saw that the young man didn't answer, and immediately added: "I mean, the surrounding children all go to that Qizhi Primary School, but I don't see that there are many classrooms in that primary school. ”

"Qizhi is in elementary school, and I may not be as old as I am when I was a child. There are only two classrooms, one for grades 1, 2 and 3, and one for grades 4, 5 and 6. By the time it was time to go to middle school, almost half of the children had dropped out of school, and it would be nice to have two or three of them go to junior high school. High school was out of reach. The young man's expression was a little gloomy.

"So over the years, how many people have really passed the exam from here?"

"Not yet, basically I didn't go on after graduating from high school. You know that tuition is a big expense, and most people can't afford to support college students. As soon as the young man finished speaking, Shen Feng and Xie Yu glanced at each other, and both of them were full of doubts.

"Then you didn't go to college?" Xie Yu asked.

"There really is one." The young man looked at the roof and sighed. Shen Feng and Xie Yu also sighed.

"That kid should have a good future, and he is a well-known star student on our side."

"Is it Sun Chen?" Before the young man could finish speaking, Xie Yu asked first.

"Do you know Sun Chen?" The young man's eyes immediately flashed.

"Well, we're ......"

"We've heard from Principal Lee." Shen Feng interrupted what Xie Yu wanted to say.

"This kid is a cow, and he is very good at learning. I was the same year as him until I graduated from junior high school. Later, I was admitted to a key high school in the county, and I went to a regular high school. After that, I didn't contact him, but I heard that he did well in the exam. I don't know how it's now. The young man recalled the days when he went to school with Sun Chen, difficult but happy.

"I'm also his friend, in a sense, our village is just the two of us who graduated from high school, and there are still some contacts. I met his parents in the front time, his younger brother is also taking the university entrance examination, the old couple is very hard, I heard that Sun Chen has paid a lot for his younger brother, and it is also very hard. ”

Shen Feng and Xie Yu looked at each other, they didn't expect Sun Chen to have such a thing. But looking at his usual life, it should not be as bitter as the young man said.

The young man left them at home for lunch, and then helped them translate the recordings of their previous interviews.

All afternoons were spent helping them sort out. Some of them were not finished, so Xie Yu left the recorder to him, saying that he would pick it up the next day.

"Can you understand all of this?" Shen Feng asked.

"No problem, it's just the difference in voice and intonation, and besides, people around here can see it in the county, and they won't be incomprehensible." The lad was quite welcoming.

"You said Sun Chen is from this village?" Xie Yu asked.

"Yes, Sun Jiaao is the only one!" The young man's answer was straightforward.

"Are there any people with the surname Sun in other villages?" Shen Feng answered.

"Yes, but very little. Basically, it's all in this village. What's wrong, there's a problem? ”

"No, we're not doing research, I thought there was a village of Sunjiaao and a village of Sunjiaao." After saying that, Shen Feng felt that his statement was extremely stupid. But the young man did not doubt it and directly gave him a negative answer.

On the way back to the village, Shen Feng had ten thousand questions in his heart, and Xie Yu was also silent. The head teacher noticed their abnormality, and thought that the two of them were in conflict, so he didn't say anything.

At night, Shen Feng was washing in the yard, and saw Sun Chen bring in a person, a young man in the daytime. "Shen Feng, he said to look for you." After Sun Chen finished speaking, he went directly into the room.

"I'm done, and I've been notified that I'm going to work tomorrow, and there's work over there. I'm afraid of delaying your affairs, so I'll send it to you as soon as possible. College is good, I really envy you. Unlike us, we look for food in the soil. ”

"Thank you so much, let's sit inside for a while."

"No, you still have to rush to the mountains. Your classmate was very enthusiastic just now, I'm leaving. Good bye. With that, the young man left.

Shen Feng looked at his distant back and was silently in a daze.

"Shen Feng, let's go inside, it's cold outside." Sun Chen shouted inside, and Shen Feng reacted and entered the house with a basin.

Lying on the Chase bunk, Shen Feng sent a message to Xie Yu to tell him that the young man had sent something over, and Xie Yu was equally surprised.

Shen Feng sent another message to the big rat and told him what happened today. The big mouse said that he was doing experiments in the laboratory and had no time to take care of his side of the matter, so Shen Feng had to delete the questions that had already been made, and looked at the wood on the roof and counted the sheep silently.

"I wish I could go back to school sooner." Sun Chen sighed lightly.

"Me too."

“Me too”

“too”

The night in the mountains was silent, and the sound of raindrops hitting the trees drowned out the low chirpings of the animals, moistening the earth.

The people in the mountains are simple, sincerely express their feelings, and simply express their opinions, so that those lies that have sunk to the bottom of the water are revealed in pure eyes.
