Chapter Two Hundred and Two: Meishan Black Tea! (3000+)
The olive-green jeep quickly stopped at the school gate, and after a while, four people got out of the car, one of them leading the way, and the other three were led by an old comrade, and the four came to the guard room to inquire for a while, and then entered the school.
At this time, He Yun was walking towards the dormitory.
Just as he was walking, he heard a voice suddenly come from behind him, as if calling him.
At first, He Yun thought that he had misheard, but when he listened carefully, he immediately turned around and saw Director Li coming over with a few people.
"Why did Director Li come to me again?"
He Yun muttered, but still walked back and immediately greeted him.
"Director Li, what are you ......" He Yun said this, and hurriedly looked at the people behind him.
And just as he was looking at others, the other party was also looking at him, especially the old comrade who was in the lead, who looked at him in disbelief.
Fortunately, at this time, Director Li introduced with a smile: "Editor-in-Chief Zhang, this is the He Yun you are looking for." ”
"So young? This is really young and promising! Can't believe it! Can't believe it! After hearing Director Li's introduction, the old comrade praised him.
At this moment, Director Li also quickly introduced He Yun: "Xiao He, this is the deputy chief editor of the "Animation King" comic book club, Zhang Deputy Editor-in-Chief, and these two ...... It's ......"
"Let's introduce ourselves!" At this time, the old comrade smiled and said in Mandarin with a Modu accent: "These two are from Yangcheng Times Animation Company, presumably when I say this, Comrade He Yun should understand our intention, right?" ”
"Understand, understand, I have already received your telegram before, I don't hide a few, I'm really sorry, there was a little accident, Comrade Wang Ruoyun, whom you want to see by name, is very unfortunate, not long ago, he was transferred to another county to teach, and he can't come back in a short time, so ...... I beg your pardon, you see, this is the telegram he just sent me! ”
As soon as He Yun listened to Director Li's introduction, he naturally understood the identities of these people in front of him.
But the problem was that the person they wanted to see was not there, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only hand the telegram he had just received to the old comrade.
After the old comrade looked at the telegram handed over by He Yun, he immediately returned the telegram to He Yun, and then waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Comrade He Yun, we can go to the place where Comrade Wang Ruoyun teaches to meet him. ”
"Oh......" He Yun was also taken aback when he heard this.
Previously, he had already felt the other party's attention to Wang Ruoyun, but he still didn't expect that the other party would attach so much importance to him, even more than him, the original creator.
"Well, is it okay tomorrow? I'll go with you tomorrow! He Yun thought for a while and said to a few people.
"Tomorrow? Yes, we will leave early tomorrow morning, Comrade He Yun, are you okay? ”
"No problem, I just won't have classes for the next two days." He Yun nodded and replied.
"Okay, then let's settle it like this, Director Li, let's go!"
"Good...... Okay, I'll arrange for you to stay first, and I'll arrange a car to take you there tomorrow. Director Li nodded and said immediately.
…………
Early the next morning, He Yun got into a jeep and went to Meishan County with the others.
This time, Director Li did not go with him, but arranged for the driver to drive He Yun and the four to Meishan County.
From Yincheng to Meishan County, if you drive, it will take about four hours, but considering the bumpy road, especially after arriving in Meishan County, the road will be even more difficult to walk, so when they arrive at the place where Wang Ruoyun is teaching, it will take at least five hours.
For this reason, the driver did not dare to slack off, arrived at the school at half past six in the morning, and after picking up He Yun, he set off from the school to Meishan County on time at seven o'clock.
Along the way, although He Yun sat in the back row, because the road was too bumpy, He Yun's stomach was tumbling all the time, and it seemed that he might vomit yesterday's overnight meal at any time.
And the other two people who were also sitting in the back row of Yangcheng Times Animation, they were even worse than He Yun, almost vomiting with the car all the way, but the old comrade sitting in the front row had a calm face, and seemed to have been accustomed to it for a long time.
However, when the car arrived at the destination, He Yun found that the old comrade had already turned pale, no, as soon as the car stopped, he began to vomit.
After a few people vomited for a while, under the care of the driver, they gradually got better.
"The road ahead is too narrow, it's too dangerous for the car to drive over, we can only park here, as for the Xilingba Village Primary School, you have to walk along this mountain road for three or four miles to get there." After the driver got out of the car, he said a word to the four people, and then pulled out the car key.
"The mountain road ahead is indeed relatively narrow, it seems that it can only be like this, Master Xu, will you go with us?" He Yun looked at the mountain road in front of him, and sure enough, as the driver said, he turned his head to the driver and said.
"No, I brought food and water, just eat some in the car later, the leader just said that they won't be delayed for a long time, and they should be able to rush back to Yincheng today." The driver shook his head at He Yun, he looked at the deputy editor-in-chief Zhang who was in the lead, and said to He Yun again.
As soon as He Yun heard the driver say this, he didn't say anything more.
After a while, He Yun and the four of them began to continue walking along the mountain road on foot.
…………
Soon, more than an hour passed, and at this moment, they finally came to Xilingba Primary School and saw Wang Ruoyun who was eating pumpkin soup and rice.
Wang Ruoyun looked at the four of He Yun who suddenly arrived, looking very surprised.
And when He Yun introduced the three of them to Wang Ruoyun and told him that these people came to him on purpose, he was directly stunned.
"Comrade Wang Ruoyun, what Comrade He Yun said is true, we are indeed here to find you this time."
"Yes, yes, yes...... We have something very important to talk to you about in person. ”
…………
When the three of them were chatting with Wang Ruoyun, He Yun took the initiative to avoid it.
After all, people came to find Wang Ruoyun on a special trip, and if he was there, it would be a little inappropriate.
What's more, he can also take the opportunity to take a good look at this school.
Seriously, after He Yun walked around the school, he was shocked to find that the school was even more dilapidated than he imagined, the school was a row of bungalows, and the roof was still covered with straw, and the walls were not made of red bricks or blue bricks, but wooden pillars were sandwiched with rammed mud walls.
The windows are not glass, but are pasted with plastic film or newspaper, which looks a bit crumbling.
As for the only six classrooms and three offices, the floors are not paved with cement, not even green bricks, but only solid mud.
The students' desks were varied, and the blackboards were painted with an unknown paint or something.
But this is not the most important thing, what touched He Yun the most was the withered yellow faces and eyes of those students, which he may not be able to forget in his life.
"This ...... It's so ......."
At this moment, He Yun could no longer be described in words.
I can't say it's miserable, I can only say it's miserable!
Because compared to this school, the primary school in Sanshui Township is simply much better.
And just after He Yun walked around the school, the principal of the school, Principal Long, also rushed back after hearing the news, and after he said hello to He Yun and the four of them, he hurriedly arranged a meal for He Yun and the four of them.
But looking at a large pot of pumpkin and homemade pickles with only a few oil stars, everyone was silent for a long time.
But after a while, He Yun and the others still finished the rice in the bowl, and there was not a single grain left.
After eating, the three of them, Deputy Chief Editor-in-Chief Zhang, continued to chat with Wang Ruoyun.
He Yun glanced at them from a distance, but came to one of the offices.
At this time, Principal Long was in the office, and the other teachers were busy during the lunch break.
"Principal Long, are you busy?" He Yun walked in and greeted.
"Comrade He? Come on, come on...... Sit! I'm really sorry, I'm sorry for a few people, alas......, we're here, just on this condition, I understand, today's meal is indeed a bit ...... It's not in line with a few appetites, but there is really no way, the funds for our village primary school are so small a year, except for salaries, almost ......"
Principal Long sighed heavily again and said to He Yun in his thick Meishan accent.
Although Meishan now belongs to Yincheng, Meishan County has been a "barbarian land" since ancient times, so this accent is very different from other places in Yincheng, if it weren't for Principal Long's slow speech, He Yun probably wouldn't have understood what he was talking about.
"Principal Long, are we really ...... Aren't you rich? I see that the children are ...... even their clothes And this school, how can it still have a thatched roof, especially the wall, in case of heavy rain......"
He Yun looked at Principal Long with a face full of disbelief.
"Actually, it's not bad, in the first two years, the villagers didn't send their children to school at all, and many people let their children cut the grass and graze cattle at home, and even now, there are many school-age children who don't come to school." When Principal Long said this, he couldn't help but show a look of hatred for iron and steel, and said again.
"We are almost all mountainous here, not as good as your lake area, can't grow too much food, this income is naturally low, low income, this tuition can't be paid, the family is naturally reluctant to let children come here to study, no, before the start of each semester, I do work one by one, but you look at now, there are only more than 100 students, which is less than half of the school-age children in our village."
"Principal Long, didn't you say that our black tea is more famous? It is said that it has been tribute tea since ancient times, and it has been exported abroad, how can the villagers be so poor? After listening to Principal Long's words, He Yun asked again with a puzzled face.
In He Yun's impression, the Meishan black tea of later generations is a very famous tea in Hunan Province and even the whole country, how can the villagers be so poor now?
Wouldn't they grow tea or even sell it to make money?
"Black tea? You mean to make money by growing tea? Yes, how not? But...... In short, it's hard to put into words! Principal Long was stunned for He Yun's doubts, and soon, he smiled bitterly and immediately explained to He Yun.......
