Chapter 398: The Occasion of Hypocrisy

"Aren't you going on a business trip again?" Xia Yu listened to it on the side.

Shen Yan smiled and said, "My eldest brother has a lot of personal matters to be busy with recently, and the company's affairs are naturally too late to take care of, and our single-minded work seems unfair to him." ”

Xia Yu smiled and said, "However, it is worth it to contribute to public welfare." ”

"Yes, that's how I see it. You go and get ready, and it is estimated that after the meeting at the headquarters tomorrow, we will set off. Shen Yan smiled and threw his phone on the desk.

Shen has always been keen on public welfare, one is to expand social influence, and the other is that Shen Mo is also very fond of doing this kind of thing, about two years ago he persuaded the old lady to raise funds to build a hope primary school in Xinjiang, and then donated a library in Qinghai. Of course, this time in the past, the media followed the interview all the way.

Usually this kind of thing Shen Mo must be the most positive, but he has no choice but to be made big by Zhou Jiamin this time, otherwise he will not give it to Shen Yan no matter what, this is the best way to improve his personal image.

Even if he was selfish, he didn't completely lose Shen Yan.

Shen Yan also understood, and accepted this task very calmly. The group arrived in Xining on a flight that night, stayed overnight at a hotel near Xining Airport, and arranged for a car to take them to school early the next morning.

The school is located in a village primary school in a very remote county town in Qinghai, when Shen Yan and his party entered the county by car, the principal of the school reception on the side received a call from the school's left-behind vice principal, and the voice on the other end was obviously excited: "Have you arrived?" ”

The headmaster looked at the mountains in front of him and replied, "Not yet, I'm about to enter the mountains." ”

Shen Yan and his entourage have already entered the mountain, the road is bumpy, and the county can't afford any good cars, starting with a Dongfeng off-road, probably the best car that can be supported in the county, followed by a Wuling van and two pickup trucks carrying goods.

Shen Yan sat in the off-road vehicle, next to Xia Yu, and the principal of the school sat in the passenger seat.

The headmaster was a native of Hongo, his name was Yoshikura, in his 40s, and he wore a shabby velvet felt hat on his head, and his hands were in the cuffs of his padded jacket, and he looked like an old man when he sat there.

"Mr. Shen, are you still used to it?"

Shen Yan was fiddling with his mobile phone at the time, and there was no signal after entering the mountain, and he didn't hear the old principal's words for a while, and the old principal laughed a little embarrassedly before he reacted.

"Excuse me, what did you just say?"

"I said that the altitude of this mountain is more than 3,000, and you are still used to it?" The old headmaster speaks Mandarin in a thick dialect.

Shen Yan fiddled for a long time and couldn't find a signal, so he simply put away his mobile phone, "It's okay." ”

"As long as you can adapt, I'm most afraid that you will have altitude sickness from the city, and this is not a girl who just came yesterday who fell ill that night." The old headmaster said that he would come out first.

Shen Yan only said "um", and didn't answer again, Xia Yu hadn't been here, and it was a bitter cold place, so she hurriedly rubbed her frozen red hands and asked, "It's so serious, how is she now?" ”

"What else can I do, I took oxygen for a while and lay down for the night."

"Oh." Xia Yu thought for a while, patted the backpack on his knee, and secretly rejoiced, "Fortunately, I brought an oxygen bag with me." ”

There was nothing to say all the way back, probably Xia Yu gradually felt a little depressed, plus the car was bumpy, and drove all the way for about half an hour, driving out of the mountain road, you can see a large grassland outside the window, occasionally see a few sparse yurts, and the door is tied with prayer flags, which is the place where the herdsmen live.

"There's still snow on the mountain." Xia Yu pointed to a mountain not far away, and there was indeed white snow on the top of the mountain.

The headmaster laughed, "It's still winter for us. ”

"Tsk!" Xia Yu wrapped the heavy scarf around his neck and didn't ask any more.

Because a car broke down on the road and was delayed for a while, it was already half past nine when I arrived at the school, and a group of children stood at the door to greet them, all with colorful ribbons tied in their hands.

The ribbon was also prepared in advance by the Shen Propaganda Department, and the school cooperated here, as long as Shen Yan and his party got off the car, the children waved their little hands to welcome, and then the reporter followed, and the Shen family walked through the center of the children's lineup, the ribbon of love fluttered in the sun of the plateau, and the reporter and photographer captured every shot.

What a beautiful picture, the laughter of the children, and the love of the Shen family on this cold and barren plateau.

For this kind of showmanship, Xia Yu was repulsed in his heart. But she also understands that this is also a propaganda need.

At this time, it was close to noon, and the ultraviolet rays on the plateau were poisonous, and the wind was also fierce, blowing the children's clothes on the rope not far away.

Xia Yu walked around the school and unconsciously turned to the vicinity of the student dormitory.

A young man approached him. Xia Yu guessed that he was a teacher at school, smiled at him, and said hello, "Hello! ”

"Hello, I'm Ah Jian, a substitute teacher at this school." The man said with a smile.

"My name is Xia Yu, and I'm from S City." Xia Yu said with a smile.

"It's been a good trip." Ah Jian said politely.

"It's okay, but you're too enthusiastic, so it's necessary to be so excited?" Xia Yu looked at it like this, but I was afraid that the whole school was dispatched.

"If you want it, the school and the county attach great importance to it!" Ah Jian lifted the things in his hand again, and Xia Yu realized that he had hugged two quilts.

"What are you doing with the quilt?"

"It's windy outside, and the leader said to take something to block the wind for everyone."

"Blocking the wind?"

"Hmm." After Ah Jian finished speaking, he hurriedly ran away, leaving Xia Yu to stand alone in the corridor.

At this time, Xia Yu was standing in the corridor at the entrance of the dormitory, in front of which was a large gravel field, surrounded by a wall of loess, and a rusty basketball hoop was placed at one end, which was the playground for children's usual activities.

Across the playground are two red-brick bungalows, with some dried vegetables hanging on the walls, which are the school cafeteria, and in front of the cafeteria is a brand new three-story building, the exterior wall is painted blue, and the large clean glass windows are installed, standing in the sunlight, and it looks a little out of place with the surrounding gravel floor and low bungalows.

At this time, there was already applause and music at the other end, and the welcome was over, and the next step would be the ceremony.

Xia Yu wrapped her head and face in a scarf and walked through the gravel to the other end of the library, she had never been interested in the rituals. It was very windy all the way, and there was applause in the distance, and it sounded like someone was speaking on stage.

She just wanted to go to see the library, passed through the small alley next to the cafeteria, turned a corner, and first saw several rows of heads standing in the unobstructed open space, tall and short, which were children lined up to "watch" the ceremony.

Some distance ahead, that is, at the entrance of the newly completed library, the organizers set up a simple shed with a vacant lot next to the shed, and the other side was originally empty, but at this time several quilts were hung, so that the entire middle area was surrounded, forming a small podium that could shelter from the wind and rain.

There was a row of people standing on the podium, and the people of the Shen family brought by Shen Yan and the leaders of the county, but they were too far away Xia Yu couldn't see their faces clearly, but he could see that the donation ceremony was going on the stage at this time.

Someone handed over a big check to the principal Yoshikura wearing a felt hat, the reporters in the audience held a long gun and a short cannon and pressed the shutter, and the county leaders next to him applauded vigorously with the children.

After the donation ceremony, the stage began to distribute the condolence packages shipped by Liansheng, and at this time, the children finally couldn't stand anymore, and some began to run around.

Principal Yoshikura took Ah Jian to maintain discipline, yelling that few children paid attention to them, and gradually the team ran out of chaos, and some of the children who got the condolence packages happily ran off the stage, and were pulled by reporters halfway to ask for a group photo.

Dirty and runny children pushing and jogging each other, holding brand new school bags and cotton clothes in their arms, and then asked to put on a cramped and shy smile at the camera, the picture freezes under the scorching sun, Xia Yu knows that these photos will be put on the top from now on, and become a charity medal that Shen is proud of.

"Pretty sister!" The voice of a little girl.

Xia Yu stood still, and sure enough, a little girl wearing a blue knitted shirt ran out of the crowd.

The little girl showed her the condolences she had gotten, "Look, I got it too." ”

Xia Yu smiled and glanced at the things she was holding in her arms, which were nothing more than schoolbags and cotton clothes, all of which were arranged by the Shen family, and they would not favor one over the other, but the little hands holding the condolence bags were a little unbearable to look at.

"Does it hurt?" Xia Yu asked distressedly, and took her hand that was red and swollen from the cold, which was covered with chilblains, and because there were several places that had cracked and oozing blood.

The little girl shook her head: "It doesn't hurt!" ”

Xia Yu squatted down and took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and put them on for her.

"Beautiful sister, are you with them too?" The little girl asked.

Xia Yu nodded, "Let's go back to the classroom when you get your things, it's windy outside." ”

"Good!" The little girl happily ran away with her things in her arms, and suddenly turned back halfway through the run.

"Pretty sister!"

"Huh?"

"I heard Mr. Ah Kin say that you will go to my house in the afternoon?" The child's eyes are full of anticipation.

Xia Yu thought about it, as if she was arranging to see a little boy, this girl said that it was her family, probably her brother, she smiled: "Yes, go see your brother." ”

"Then I'll go back with you, right?"

"No, you still have classes in the afternoon, if you don't obey, beware of Principal Yoshikura spanking you!" Xia Yu deliberately scared.

The little girl thought about it with her head borrowed, and reluctantly replied, "Okay, I won't go back with you, but can I ask you for one thing?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"My brother ......" she hesitated with what she was holding, "He hasn't been studying for two months, and my mother said he is not in good health, so don't come to trouble!" ”

Xia Yu only felt a slight prickle in his heart, and squatted in front of the girl again, "Then does he want to go to school himself?" ”

"Yes, I dream about it, so can you go and talk to my mother?" The little girl didn't know why she trusted Xia Yu very much, maybe she was one of the people who came to help them, or maybe Xia Yu, with a kind face, made the little girl trust her.

Xia Yu brushed the hair she was blocking in front of her and nodded: "Okay, I'll try." ”

"Thank you!" In the sun, the little girl smiled and showed her two tiger teeth, took off her gloves again, and carefully took something out of her pocket.

"Please bring this to my brother as well."

"What?" Xia Yu watched her dirty, frostbite-covered hands spread out, and there were three candies lying inside.

"There was a sister over there who gave it to me, I didn't want to eat it, give it to my brother, he likes it!" After finishing it, he ran away, leaving Xia Yu standing in place, holding three toffees with body temperature in his hand.

Shen Yan helped distribute the condolence packages on the stage, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, the sun that was quite fierce just now gradually wilted, and the old principal saw that the coat he was wearing was a little thin, and shouted at him: "It's going to change, you go to the house to take shelter from the wind." ”

"No, I'll talk about it when I'm done." Shen Yan replied, but the phone rang, Liu Sijie's phone.

"I'm sorry." He said hello to the principal, walked out of the shed with his mobile phone, dodged a little wind, and connected the phone.
