Luo Hao and the others left very early, about four o'clock.

Ao Jing and the others repaired on the island for half a day, and did not set sail for the next island until about ten o'clock.

"The next island is relatively large, the island has a permanent population of more than 5,000, and there is a primary school on the island, this time we will stay on the island for one night and return tomorrow morning."

The teacher who led the team specially named Ao Jing and asked her to help send the basket of books and stationery on the boat to the primary school on the island after she went to the island.

When Ao Jing was studying at the beach, the island was basically a nine-year school, and only in high school would he leave the island to live on campus, and there would be a two-month holiday.

But what she knows about the current level of education, the inland is tight, how many students can go to the primary school on the island?

"Don't say it, there are proportionally more children studying on Man's Island than in seaside fishing villages." The eldest sister of the technician explained to her, "The seaside fishing village is also inland, and if you can't fish, you can do some other work to support yourself." But on the island, what can you do without fishing? Plant some crops and a single typhoon can destroy them. ”

"Then they didn't think about moving inland?"

"Where is it so easy? These more than 5,000 people have to be resettled, not to mention the land, not to mention the house, where do they live? And now the land is contracted to the households, and they will divide the land as soon as they come, so isn't it taking food from the mouths of inland fishermen? If it really makes trouble, the leaders above can't solve it. ”

As far as they could talk, they had already arrived at the island, which had a total area of less than thirty square kilometers.

"The vegetation on this island is relatively simple, mostly neem, kudzu and camphor trees. In the past two years, shelterbelts have been cultivated, mainly casuarinas and acacias. Later, we'll go to the testing site to check the situation, and you can just wait there after you send the books. At noon we went to the school cafeteria to eat. ”

"Is there a cafeteria at the school here?"

At the seaside school, children are sent home for lunch and lunch breaks, and classes start at about 3:30 in the afternoon.

"Most of the fishermen on the island are at sea during the day, or they are busy at the fishing grounds, and there are no adults at home. The school cafeteria is also repaired by each family according to the money pooled by the capita, and then they bring their own food and vegetables, and the canteen only provides one stew and one bowl of soup. ”

"Then we went to eat other people's food?"

Ao Jing subconsciously asked, and the technicians who had been here laughed.

"How is it possible to go to the child's mouth and grab food. Well, this box is our own food, and we will have to trouble Brother Hai to help send it to the canteen later. ”

Ao Jing's face flushed, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.

The box contained canned brown rice and pork, as well as two dozen canned fruits. She always thought that she was taking it with her to eat on the boat, but fortunately she didn't touch it, otherwise she would have died in disgrace.

"We don't come to the island very often, but every time we do, we borrow to stay at the school. These things are considered our accommodation expenses, and they are also given to the children. ”

The island's agricultural resources are quite scarce, vegetables and fruits are basically transported from the mainland, and the fresh water is relatively better. Therefore, every time the boat is on the island, it will tacitly replenish the reserves for the school.

No matter how hard and poor you are, you can't lose the children.

"The main body of the island is volcanic sedimentary rock, and the location of the school is relatively safe, and two underground bunkers have been dug to avoid typhoons. Usually the reserve materials are also stored there. ”

There is no transportation on the island, so you can only move on two legs.

This time, because of the delivery of supplies, the people who came from the island to pick them up also brought a wheelbarrow.

The road from the pier to the school is still paved, and the ground is still potholed, so the thatch that grows unwantonly has been removed.

Originally, Ao Jing was still a little puzzled why the leaders of the team wanted to let them act separately. After walking on the island for a while, it can be considered that they can understand that they will not want to finish their work if they don't move separately if they don't move separately for two more days.

Although the conditions on the island were average at the time of her study, the basic infrastructure had been completed, and at least there was a concrete road connecting the fishing villages on the island.

But now, the island is full of roads, as long as you can walk.

Tired and sweaty, I finally arrived at school.

It is said to be a school, but it is actually a two-story stone building. A stone bungalow of the same style next to it is the school cafeteria.

This kind of stone building Ao Jing has also been seen on the seaside, mainly because of its good windproof performance, and even some homes even have a double insurance with a mix of stones and tiles.

"There are not many children studying on our island, less than 300 people in total, and they still have separate classes. The main thing is that there are not enough teachers, in addition to the principal and his lover, there is only one teacher sent in, and the other is a substitute teacher who graduated from a local primary school, and can only teach the first and second grades. ”

Four teachers are responsible for teaching 300 students from grades 1 to 5, and they also have to bring their own books, so they basically rotate classes, and the books are shared by the children of one family.

Even if you cherish the books, there are more people reading them, so new textbooks and basic stationery and teaching aids are sent every semester. Some of these things are allocated by the Education Bureau, and some are donated by various units.

In addition to textbooks, the Oceanic Administration also sent more than 20 extracurricular reading materials, of course, all of which were ocean-related books, some of which were counted from the inventory of the Oceanic Bureau's library, and some of which were newly published children's books.

After helping to put the books and stationery in the warehouse, Ao Jing threw his arm and got out, and when he looked up, he saw that the eldest of Hai Lao's family was talking to a short-haired and dark-skinned teenager.

Ao Jing was stunned for a moment, she subconsciously felt that she should avoid it.

"Sister Ao Jing, this is my good friend Lu Zhou, he will be able to go to school in the inland next year."

When I got closer, I realized that the black boy was quite handsome.

"That's a good relationship, the two of you can play together in the future."

Ao Jing said this subconsciously, but after saying that, she found that Hai Lao's eldest daughter's face stiffened suddenly, and the handsome child lost his smile.

"What's wrong?"

The two children looked at each other and shook their heads in tacit agreement.

"No, it's nothing, Sister Ao Jing, go get busy."

Ao Jing intuitively felt that she had said the wrong thing, but she didn't know what was wrong if the child didn't say it, so she had to smile and walk away confused.

After walking a little farther, she glanced back and found that the eldest daughter of Hai Laoqi seemed to be wiping her tears, and the handsome child was at a loss to comfort her, but she didn't know what to do, so she was in a hurry there.

Turning to the cafeteria, Ebichi was busy with the principal's lover.

"Boss, you have done your best, Haizhu's body has been able to survive until now is your credit, we can't treat it."

Hai Laoqi did the work in silence and did not say a word.

Ao Jing stopped hesitantly, not knowing whether to go over and help.

"What are you doing standing here?" There was a sudden tap on the shoulder, and Ao Jing was so frightened that he turned around violently.
