This is the morning ......of the first day of the first day of the Tianli Mountain trip of the amateur public welfare reality show "Where Are You Going, Ai Ai" "Early in the morning, Zhou Yuanyuan sat on the wooden bed, holding a hand-held camera, and made an opening remark on the mobile phone screen.

"Today, the temperature in the mountains is 12 to 3 degrees, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the air condition is excellent, the white clouds are long, and the blue sky is like a wash." Zhou Yuanyuan continued, "It's 6:50 a.m. Beijing time, we live in the teacher's dormitory of Tianli Primary School, which has a total of 124 students, six grades and six classes, with an average of more than 20 students per class. There is only a primary school, and the junior high school has to go to the central town 20 kilometers away, and the children have not yet come to school......"

Zhou Yuanyuan had another tussle, and Elsie had already made the bed, boiled hot water, and scalded the milk...... When Zhou Yuanyuan pointed the camera at her, Elsie said hello naturally and happily, and then pulled her lips and said: "Hi, hello friends, I'm Elsie, today is the first day that I and Zhou Yuanyuan's children came to Tianli Mountain, and we will live and work in Tianli Mountain for three months, although today is only the first day, and our task has just begun, but it is conceivable that the next three months will definitely be a very meaningful and interesting life journey for us." Okay, we'll get ready to get to work...... Oh, by the way, to correct it at the end, this is not the set of "Where Are Ai Ai Going", our program is called "Beauty Dawn", which is a large-scale joint public welfare mountain poverty alleviation ......"

Zhou Yuanyuan turned off the recording function of the handheld, blew a rainbow fart at Ai Xi and said: "Ai Ai, I found that you can change careers to do public welfare live broadcasts, I have been training for half a year, and you are still more fluent than me when you speak to the camera." ”

"Think about it." Elsie casually agreed.

……

However, many things, lightheartedness is only the surface, but in fact it is heavy and difficult, how to really change the appearance of a poor mountainous area. Almost all of the 124 children currently attending school in Tianli Primary School are left-behind children, which is different from the children of Nanzhuang Primary School, who have been separated from their parents for a long time and have grown up with their elderly grandparents.

In the morning, she and Zhou Yuanyuan gave the children a set of toiletries and a box of chocolates prepared by Liming Charity. The toiletries were sponsored by the Dawn Charity Pull, and the chocolates were a welcome gift that Elsie bought out of her own pocket.

In the afternoon, Ai Qian and Zhou Yuanyuan followed the public welfare team for a field trip, and after half a day, Zhou Yuanyuan's expression was not as excited as during the day......

The sky in the mountains seems to darken faster than in the city, unlike the lively night market in the city after dark, the night here is really night, the surrounding is quiet under the dark curtain, there is no colorful neon, and the stars in the night sky look a little brighter. Unlike the night sky in the city, the gray sky is full of light refracted by the lights of high-rise buildings.

After a week, Ai Qian and Zhou Yuanyuan became familiar with the teachers and students of Tianli Primary School, and Zhou Yuanyuan also went from seeing cockroaches jumping on the bed to being able to happily take pictures of the cockroaches in the corner and send them to her boyfriend Wang Yao.

Elsie's change is not as obvious as Zhou Yuanyuan's, but she knows very well that her heart has gradually become quiet and full in the past few days, as if she has added more strength to herself, which is a feeling that cannot be achieved in other work or things.

At the top of the Tianli Primary School teacher's dormitory, there is a rooftop where you can "watch the stars and admire the moon", and Zhang Ping and several other young substitute teachers will come here from time to time to barbecue and drink and chat about life. Zhang Pingyuan is a senior network engineer working in a first-tier city, why did he come to Tianli Mountain to teach, in his words: "Originally, I was out of love and unemployed and came to Tianli Mountain to relax, but I stayed for a week and was reluctant to leave, and it happened that there was a shortage of teachers here, so I stayed." ”

"What about you?" Zhang Ping looked at Elsie and Zhou Yuanyuan, and first named Zhou Yuanyuan and asked, "Zhou Yuanyuan, why do you do public welfare?" ”

Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Elsie, and Elsie also looked back at Zhou Yuanyuan, but Zhou Yuanyuan replied with a smile: "Because I couldn't find a job after graduation, I just happened to be fooled to the dawn of public welfare, and then I found that this job is quite interesting, fulfilling and not boring." ”

"Who fooled you?"

"Can't say ......"

Elsie's eyes twinkled, the night breeze swept coolly in her ears, and at the end of the day's work, her mood could always become comfortable and relaxed on such a night. A face suddenly appeared in my mind, and my thoughts froze slightly.

"What about you, Essie?"

It was her turn to answer.

"It's the same, just one job." "And then there's a lifestyle choice. ”

In fact, public welfare has done it now, it is different from other work, but there is no special difference, and with the popularization and popularization of public welfare, it no longer even has any halo and shining point, just a way of life.

What's more, in this world, energy is conserved, and giving and receiving are often relative. The trade-offs are all based on the mentality.

"Yes, wow!" Zhou Yuanyuan nodded her head and continued, "Only by treating public welfare as a job can we treat it objectively for a long time, because there is a bright side and a dark side to everything, as long as you remove the halo and look at it, you can do it well." ”

"Did you really say that?" In a week, Zhang Ping obviously learned some of Zhou Yuanyuan's temperament.

"Of course—no!" Zhou Yuanyuan smiled, "Yes...... What my previous Secretary-General said. ”

"I'd like to meet your former secretary-general."

"Maybe we'll see it later." Zhou Yuanyuan replied playfully.

The mobile phone rang, and Elsie glanced at the name of the caller ID, let Zhou Yuanyuan and the other teachers chat back and forth, got up and went downstairs.

The call came from Fei Yuli, and Elsie walked down the stairs to answer it, because the signal there was the best in the teacher's dormitory. As a result, when she connected and fed, there was no response on the phone.

Elsie fed again.

Still no response.

Elsie didn't know if it was a signal problem or if Fei Yu Li had dialed it wrong, until she heard the sound of long, thick breathing coming from there, and she was sure that Fei Yu Li had dialed it wrong.

"Mr. Fei'er, wake up, the hotel has arrived......" A deferential and gentle female voice came into Elsie's ears along the earpiece.

Elthy: ......

This voice probably came from that smart and capable female secretary.

With a "snap", Elsie hung up her phone, then put her hands back in her pockets, she had a pair of hiking boots at her feet, and she was wearing a thick and warm outdoor jacket, probably wearing too much, and a fire was inexplicably nested in her chest.

How did Fei Yuli make this call, Elsie didn't want to investigate, but she was puzzled, aggrieved, and angry about her behavior of deliberately coming down from the rooftop to answer the phone earlier.

"Big Silly Hat!" Elsie scolded secretly, not for Fei Yuli, but for herself.

Just then, the phone vibrated again. Elsie exhaled, took out her phone and looked at it—

Paralysis, again Fei Yuli called.

Elthy: ......
