Chapter 71: The Roots of Poverty

This woman can speak some Chinese, but with a strong local accent, Zhao Ping'an listened to it ignorantly, but fortunately, Zhu Xiaowan on the side explained.

"She said that the child's father was blind, and when he was boiling water in the fire pit, he accidentally poured a pot of boiling water on the child, and then went to the doctor in the health center to wipe some purple potion."

"Such a heavy burn, just rubbing a little purple potion?" Zhao Ping'an was dumbfounded, don't blame him for his cranky thinking, he can still imagine how this child will live.

"Food...... Anything else...... Can you give the child a little ......" The woman begged to look at Zhao Ping'an, as a mother, this is the only thing she can do now, the child keeps crying, maybe only the temptation of delicious food can make her forget the pain in her body for a while.

Zhao Ping'an's eyes were red, and he nodded heavily, if you don't have it, you have to have it!

In fact, there were no snacks in the small store, and in the end, Zhao Ping'an even moved out a bag of sugar, and there were ten catties of noodles.

It was the ordinary white sugar, which was not even a snack, but the little girl wiped it with her fingers, and then carefully stuffed the whole finger into her mouth, and ate it with a happy face.

"Thanks... Thanks, uncle. She said crisply, as if she was more sensible than the other children.

"Why don't you send it to the hospital!" Zhao Ping'an couldn't hold back at all and stretched out his hand to wipe his tears.

The woman shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand what a hospital was.

"The hospital is a place for children to be treated, and this injury must be treated immediately, and it cannot be delayed!" Zhao Ping'an explained.

The woman seemed to finally understand, and explained to the little girl at a very fast speed, and then said something to Zhu Xiaowan, and hurriedly turned around and left.

Zhao Ping'an glanced at the little girl who looked a little timid after her mother left, looked at Zhu Xiaowan, who had already brought up her sunglasses, and asked, "Why did she go?" ”

"Take the money."

Zhao Ping'an wanted to call the woman, but her steps were too fast and she had disappeared at the fork in the road, fortunately, not long after, she turned back again, and the baby on her back was gone, thinking that it should be handed over to the blind husband at home, I just hope he doesn't get close to the fire pond again!

The group returned according to the route they came, the distance of ten kilometers is not close, and the mountain road is extremely difficult to walk, Zhao Ping'an had the heart to help hold the child, but the woman refused, and to tell the truth, he was somewhat afraid, not afraid of dirty, mainly afraid that he would accidentally hurt the little girl, just now her mother because she accidentally used some force when holding her, so that a palm-sized blood scab on her back fell off directly, revealing the bright red flesh inside!

The little girl had cried uncontrollably many times along the way, and even fell asleep halfway, and she could wake up in pain, and every time her mother would smear a little white sugar and stuff her fingers into her mouth, so that she could be quiet for a while.

In fact, she is already very well-behaved, so good that Zhao Ping'an actually feels strong in such a young child, not to mention that such pain happens to a child, even if it is an adult, how many people can persist without wailing?

At least, Zhao Ping'an thought he couldn't do it.

Although there is also a clinic in the small town where the car is parked, it is really difficult to do anything about this level of injury, and in the end, Zhao Ping'an drove them along the narrow mountain road, about forty or fifty kilometers later, and came to a small county town nearby, which was a severe test for him who had only just obtained his driver's license.

The conditions of the county hospital are still very poor, and even more than the neighboring water county is 108,000 miles, a handsome young doctor of the Yi nationality checked the little girl's injuries, and at this time, her mother took out the money from her pocket and asked timidly: "Is it time to pay?" ”

Zhao Ping'an looked down and saw that in her pair of dark palms full of ravines, she was tightly tugging on two crumpled banknotes, both of which were denominations of one yuan.

"Auntie, I've already paid for the money." Zhao Ping'an had to make up a lie to prevent her from being frightened by that terrifying number.

"That's not going to work......" The woman was a little distracted, although she hadn't read a book for a day, but she knew that it was unreasonable, after all, the child was hers.

"It's okay, I have a lot of money." Zhao Ping'an's mind was a little confused, and he casually came out with this sentence that made the Yi doctor look at him in surprise.

Zhao Ping'an paid 100,000 yuan in advance for the operation, and estimated whether it could be more or less, and privately instructed the doctor to return it to the little girl's mother at that time, and she didn't let her know about it for the time being, and she also shoehorned 1,000 yuan in cash to her as the living expenses of the little girl during the hospitalization, as well as to buy some nutritional products or something.

"Mr. Zhao, are you going back to Shiping Village?" After leaving the hospital, Zhu Xiaowan asked, she is a very smart woman, she never tries to understand the boss's thoughts in advance, and only asks when necessary.

"Nope." Zhao Ping'an waved his hand, where is the need to go back? There is no doubt that his goal has been achieved and he has found a group of people in urgent need of help, but what he never expected is that the poverty of Daliang Mountain is so shocking!

He wondered how he could help them.

"Xiaowan, to tell you the truth, the reason why I came here is because I want to do a little good, what do you think I should do? Is it to help them build a house? Or simply donate some food and clothing? After thinking about it for a while, he decided to ask the former reporter next to him for advice, after all, they always have insight into the truth of the facts, and understand the side that ordinary people can't see.

Surprisingly, Zhu Xiaowan shook her head and said, "No, it's useless!" What's the use of helping them all build small bungalows? It's nothing more than a place to sleep, and food and clothes may be enough to keep them fed and clothed for a short time, but what about after eating and wearing? ”

After listening to her words, Zhao Ping'an couldn't help frowning and asked, "Then what do you say should be done to help them?" ”

"Education!" When Zhu Xiaowan said these two words, her tone was a bit categorical, in fact, she had already figured out the root of the problem, but unfortunately she was really powerless, but the man next to her was different, as long as he was willing, he might be able to completely change the status quo in Daliang Mountain!

She said with some excitement: "The reason why people here are so poor is because of lack of education, and many of their minds are even stuck in the primitive society, just like the aunt just now, she may know that 2 yuan can buy some white noodles, but she doesn't understand how much the purchasing power of 2 yuan is outside the village, and the help of materials may be able to solve the urgent need, but in the long run, only education can let those poor children avoid early marriage and early childbearing, so that they can have the opportunity to get out of the mountains, in order to truly save the Daliang Mountain area!" ”
