Chapter 14 Visiting the School

Qingshuao is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there is a large flat land in the middle, with two or three hundred households, which is considered a large village in the mountainous area. The mountains are full of ancient trees, birds chirping, streams bubbling and clear water from time to time emerge from cracks in stones, grass and tree roots.

Du Ruo took a big sip and drank it, "It's so sweet, come and drink it!" ”

Lin Yuanming smiled, "This time, you can drink it with confidence?" After speaking, I couldn't wait to take a sip and try it, "It's really sweet, this is pure natural spring water!" ”

The houses at the bottom of the hill are all made of stone and mud, sturdy and fireproof, and they are a little old. On the periphery of the house are vegetable and crop fields. Seasonal vegetables are planted in the vegetable fields, and crops such as rice, sorghum, and corn are planted in the crop fields. There is a large pond in the middle of the vegetable and crop fields, and the pond is full of fish, and the lotus leaves that have just grown on the surface of the pond have emerged.

The afternoon sun shone on the whole village, adding a brightness to the village. "It's a small, self-sufficient village, but it lacks education and transportation." Du Ruo concluded.

Lin Yuanming was silent.

After they left their luggage at a house, they went to see the school.

The school in Qingshuao is one of the objects of Lin Yuanming's assistance in recent years, he has seen the relevant materials here, but he has never been here, the main purpose of this visit here is to see the construction of the school and whether there is anything that needs help to improve.

Built in the heart of the village, the school is a two-story stone house with eight classrooms, two of which serve as teachers' offices and a library. In front of the school is a small playground with some simple sports facilities, such as a table tennis table made of cement, a basketball stick made of a mixture of cement and iron hoops, and single, double, seesaw, etc.

In the lower classrooms, the children are following the teacher to read and write, and the sound of frustration is floating far away, and the children in the upper classrooms are studying on their own, some whispering, and some concentrating on reading.

"They are very similar to us when we were children, but they are generally very well-behaved, the school is good, and we should be very happy that they are gradually getting on the right track." Du Ruo sighed in his heart.

"Yes, they don't have to suffer from climbing mountains and mountains now, and I'm glad in my heart." Lin Yuanming's eyes unconsciously showed a sense of satisfaction.

"Why don't we go in and say hello to the school?" Du Ruo asked.

"Let's not bother them, just talk to the kids." Lin Yuanming replied.

So the two walked around the campus. Soon after, the bell rang for the end of class. Children streamed out of the classroom and into the playground to chase and fight. There were two boys who were playing with sandbags, Du Ruo and Lin Yuanming walked over to them, and one of the boys saw them and took the initiative to shout, "Hello uncle and aunt!" ”

Du Ruo and Lin Yuanming nodded with a smile, and Du Ruo asked, "What grade are you in, children, what is your name?" ”

"I'm in the fifth grade, my name is Li Xiaoxiao, and his name is Huang Shiyi." The boy who had offered to say hello replied.

Du Ruo and Lin Yuanming then asked them about some details of the school and had a general understanding of the school.

"Are you from the city? Did you come to see us? The kid named Shinoxiao asked.

"Yes, we came to see you go to school here, are you good?" Du Ruo replied.

"I know you're the uncles and aunts who helped us, right? In the past, we didn't have a school here, so we had to walk a long way to get to school. Shinoxiao blinked Hui Xuan's eyes.

Du Ruo and Lin Yuanming looked at each other and smiled, and replied on behalf of Lin Yuanming, "Yes." ”

"And where are you going next?" Shinoxiao continued to ask.

"Well, let's go to Taohuachong next." Du Ruo replied.

"There, it's not far from here, just over a hill over there." Xiaoxiao pointed in the direction and continued, "Let me tell you, Auntie, a long time ago, my grandmother said that it turned out that 'Peach Blossom Chong' and 'Qingshuao' were the same village, and Peach Blossom Chong was separated from us, and that mountain came later. "The child's heart is like this, as soon as he sees who he falls in love with, he can't wait to tell what he knows.

"Oh, interesting, why is that?" Du Ruo asked curiously.

"It seems that legend has it that a long, long time ago, a man here became a monk and killed the daughter of a family, and the family moved out, so there was 'Peach Blossom Chong'." Xiao Xiao scratched her scalp and replied.

"That's right, it's a tragic love story." Du Ruo sighed.

Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled and couldn't answer for a while.

When the class bell rang, Du Ruo and the others said goodbye to Xiaoxiao and Eleven.
