The sound of reading and the sound of the rain echoed in the quiet plateau village, and the rain curtain and fog covered this mysterious place like a beautiful white veil.

The name of the place is very awkward, called Warig, not far from Banyou, which passed by the Red Army's Long March, known as the most beautiful swamp wetland, but it is not so easy to adapt to the newcomers, the temperature in summer is about the same as in winter, only one degree, no need to sè, when are shivering, I only arrived at this hope primary school last night, I slept with the desk, I was called up by the teacher early in the morning, and I had to rush to teach the babies, seeing that the rain did not stop, it was impossible to go today.

You have to find something to do, Lao Dong seems to be very familiar with the two young teachers here, and arranged for Lao Loach and Dai Lanjun to go to the village to find a sheep and slaughter it for a tooth sacrifice, Bao Xiaosan and Geng Baolei are naturally the materials for making fires, it is estimated that they have a prejudice against Qiu Di, they didn't arrange a job for him, and they ignored him, as for him himself, he sat on the podium and began to tell the rural children about the good life in the big city.

"What's wrong!?"

The old loach saw Qiu Di hurriedly entering the kitchen, with a bitter and hateful look on his face, and asked curiously.

This Nima was so teased that he sat in someone else's classroom and became a teacher. Qiu Di cried and laughed, teasingly, it must be Director Dong, Bao Xiaosan and Geng Baolei laughed when they were eating, Lao Loach looked at Dai Lanjun with a smile, Dai Lanjun plucked out his eyes, and Bao Xiaosan spoke for Lao Dong: "Are you in charge of people? Director Dong is a leader, and he can't teach a few little children?"

"Do you know what he is talking about? He is talking about inheriting the Red Army's fearless spirit of climbing snowy mountains and crossing grasslands and resisting the peaceful evolution of Western imperialism. Qiu Di said sternly, and the rest of the people laughed inexplicably, this seems to be a correct proposition, but why is there such a ridiculous element? Dai Lanjun scolded angrily: "What's ridiculous about this?"

"There's nothing funny about it, but who wants to be here. Qiu Di said.

By the way, this poor place to the bones, blocked to the outrageous Cheng dù, most places in the village have no mobile phone signal, run for several miles, raise your hands high, there is only such a grid of signal, don't think about the network, this mountain and ditch are deep, there are not a few years of electricity, and when it rains, the power immediately goes out, everyone is really nothing to do, so they all go to the kitchen.

"It's also well, there are not many people left, and there are more animals than people. Bao Xiaosan said with a smile.

"Isn't this the case in the countryside now?" Mr. Geng said.

Carrying a rack of mutton, throwing the old loach on the case with a snap, looking at Dai Lanjun, and shutting up again, these people seemed to have touched her scales, she seemed to be getting more and more angry, and finally Qiu Di said that when he talked about the paradox of the more thorough the revolution and the poorer the single, Dai Lanjun was furious, and she threw the firewood in her hand with a snap, which scared Bao Xiaosan.

I saw the beautiful woman standing up in a loud voice, poking her fingers at Qiu Di's nose and scolding: "What do you know? Like you, you will get out of poverty and have no skin and no face......

"You know how to sarcastically mock people, do you know who built this school, do you know what the dropout rate here is?!"

"Director Dong and his colleagues in the unit raised funds and built it together, and they donate money and materials here every year...... You want to say that he is selling his reputation again, right? But even the people who sell their reputation are gone, and they are all like you...... Will there be a primary school here? Will there be a change here...... The dropout rate has gone from 100 percent to less than 10 percent now, and someone has done it, and it's you who you say he's a tease. ”

"Just like you, are you embarrassed to say that others are funny? You know that you are born with a bitter life, and people are poor and hate society, what have you done yourself? Are you worthy of society? Worthy of your parents? Worthy of yourself?"

"Hmph! too lazy to tell you!"

The spit almost sprayed Qiu Di's face, one step at a time, one question and one retreat, forcing Qiu Di into a corner, Dai Lanjun almost slapped him in hatred, but fortunately he stopped in time, reprimanded angrily, and turned his head away.

It's here, and now the two solid backings are also gloating, covering their noses and snickering, Qiu Di kicked Geng Baolei in embarrassment, and was about to brush his sleeves away, but was brought back by the dripping rain outside, the old loach looked at him with a smile, handed over the knife, and asked: "Or, make some contribution?"

Qiu Di caught it, picked the skeleton with his hand, and unloaded the meat, but Lao Loach persuaded: "Lao Dong is mouth is broken, his heart is not bad, don't be angry with them, in fact, they are all about the same, our line of work, to put it bluntly, is almost cheating, cheating, stealing, the way of work is like this, get used to it...... If I tell you the truth, don't talk about you, I guess the bodyguards trained in security will not dare to take this kind of work. Don't hate him, he didn't have anything to do to come up with this bad trick. ”

yes, who wants to deal with national security to hell. It really involves heavy dà secrets, I'm afraid it involves too much, and it's not easy for you to get out of it when you're idle.

"Then what should we do? It's not over, lock us up again?" Bao Xiaosan said in surprise.

"That's not it, illegal surveying and mapping, it doesn't involve heavy secrets, if you catch it, you will be rewarded, you can't catch it, or it won't be my turn to retire and mix with you. The old loach said.

"Brother Loach, what are you doing?" Qiu Di asked curiously while cutting the meat, and as soon as he spoke, he caught a glimpse of the old loach and was stunned, and he hurriedly said: "Just ask, if it involves secrets, you will tell us." ”

"Haha...... It's not so mysterious, we belong to the scouts on the periphery, and our name is 'Migan', and there are too many Migan like me to talk about mystery. "The old loach said lightly, not like modesty.

"What is Migan?" Geng Baolei was curious.

"It's almost the meaning of the officer, but there is an identity, the security of general holidays, important buildings, facilities are secretly guarded, etc., we need to collect information as ordinary people to prevent possible accidents, after all, the heavily armed police, their functions are limited, more often, we need to stand on the front line. The old loach said.

"Wow, you're also a hero, have you ever been injured in the face?" Bao Xiaosan admired.

"No, no, no...... I didn't have a work-related injury, I accidentally had a car accident and couldn't do that job, so I retired from the injury...... Look, it's not mysterious, hehe. In fact, it is equivalent to the state worker. The old loach saw that several people were disappointed, probably because it was very different from what he expected, but he didn't think it was wrong, and laughed at himself.

Approaching, only to find that it is actually very easy to get along, the four of them talked and laughed, boiling a pot of mutton, the fire was burning, and soon this small campus was filled with the smell of meat, during recess, there were even little children lying on the window, crowded at the door, sucking their fingers and drooling, and the bold wanted to drill in, and were scared away by Bao Xiaosan with a burning stick.

During the conversation, it was confirmed that this was indeed a school funded by Dong Chunjie, because he came here for the first time in several years to visit, and the serious task of 800 did nothing, so he took on this idle matter, built a school, and invited two teachers, the teacher is not ordinary, it is actually a volunteer of Sichuan University to support the poor mountainous areas, a man and a woman, two people and a pair, both came to the mountainous area, and it has been the third year.

In any case, even if a despicable person encounters a noble person, he will also have a kind of admiration mentality, because those noble deeds are beyond their reach.

No, the male teacher was not tall, dressed in white-washed jeans, almost fading into a sheep herder, he was as thin as a bamboo pole, with high cheekbones, and combing that old-fashioned hair-untying hair, carrying textbooks to class, and looking at her thin appearance, everyone was worried that she would be blown away by a gust of wind.

The unfamiliar environment gave everyone more curiosity, the male teacher was very grateful to Director Dong, and personally went to the kitchen to hand out a circle of crumpled cigarettes to everyone, which was so wet that it smelled a little musty, and only knew from the teacher's accent that the two of them not only had to teach, but also had to be masters by the way, six years old and twenty-three students, the farthest was more than ten kilometers away from the school, and it was impossible to go home for lunch.

Oh, I see, this Nima is not a treat for everyone, but also for the students.

Saying that the time for the end of class is coming, the bell is the teacher holding a hammer to break the bell, the bell is struck, and a group of primary school students dressed in colorful colors rush to the kitchen, and the female teacher shouted happily, give everyone a tooth sacrifice, please line up. When the male teacher is talking, what should he say when he accepts help from others?

Then those drooling students who looked at the sheep soup pot said in unison: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, aunt." ”

Bao Xiaosan scooped rice, Geng Baolei served rice, one by one, a bowl of mutton soup, a piece of wheat cake, the cake is called "Deri" in the local dialect, peas, oil and wheat noodles kneaded together, black and not slippery, but in the eyes of people here, it seems to be a supreme delicacy, who looks at it is also bright, and takes a bite in his hand.

A sheep really doesn't have much meat, scooping twenty or thirty rice bowls almost to see the bottom of the pot, barely enough to eat, yes, just reluctantly, Qiu Di saw a strange scene when he started eating, these half-sized dolls, whether boys or girls, are all gobbling up the basin, the happiness on the face, the comfort of the eyes, The excitement of eating and chewing, it is estimated that it has been a long time since I have tasted such deliciousness, watching the children eating, looking at the dirty costumes, and even patched pants, wearing adult rubber shoes, just squatting under the eaves and eating happily, no matter how you look at it, it makes him feel a little sour in his heart.

Poor! Different poor people have different feelings.

Bao Xiaosan was also impacted, originally he was buried in eating, he was not used to eating this called "Deri" pastry, he ate the biscuits brought by the car, and when he inadvertently looked up halfway through eating, he found that something was wrong, several children looked at him, the rice bowl in their hands had already bottomed out, and they were still licking the rice bowl, licking the upper and lower lips, and looking at Bao Xiaosan while licking, Bao Xiaosan fished the most mutton for himself.

"Come on, come on...... Come here, ......" Bao Xiaosan waved his hand, called a few fast-eating children over, divided the mutton in his basin, one person divided the point, looked at the greedy face, he divided the biscuits at hand, one by one, and watched the children gobble up and stuff them into their mouths, I don't know that it touched that nerve, his nose was sour, and all of a sudden tears were like springs, covering his face, and running away.

Dai Lanjun found out that something was wrong, and called Lao Loach and Geng Baolei to see it, this thing was so nervous that he wanted to run there, and a few people followed him out of the school compound, but found that Bao Xiaosan had a snot and tears, and he was crying so sadly.

"What's wrong, San'er?" Geng Baolei was stunned, never knowing that this product still had feelings for this string.

"Yes, what are you crying about?" Dai Lanjun wondered, she estimated that Bao Xiaosan couldn't see it, and explained softly: "No way, this is the condition here, usually it is a hearty lunch to bring a piece of dough, and some of them have to walk ten kilometers home after school." ”

"Oh, touching the scene?" asked the old loach with a smile.

Only then did he guess correctly, Bao Xiaosan sniffed and nodded, and said with tears in his eyes: "I remember when I was a child...... Watching others eat meat, my eyes drool......"

"Oh, someone gave you a taste at that time, and it's still unforgettable?" Geng Baolei asked curiously.

"It's just sad that I don't have it. Bao Xiaosan wiped his tears, probably remembering the unforgettable pain, he cried: "Not only did no one give it to me, but my father also thought I was ashamed, grabbed me and slapped me with the sole of his shoe...... Woo... Woo...... I haven't been home for a few years and I miss my dad......"

He cried silently as he spoke, and the poverty here reminded him of his childhood, even if it was unbearable.

I wanted to persuade him, but I didn't persuade him, he moved out all the food stored in the back compartment, moved a cardboard box back to the yard and sent it, which caused the students to cheer, and everyone looked at each other, no longer felt ridiculous, but his nose was a little sour.........

....................................

....................................

It is impossible to have a lunch break, to be in a hurry, to get out of class before four o'clock in the afternoon, to leave time for those children who live far away to go home, and to go home is also a big one leading the small, the boy leading the girl, Bao Xiaosan pulled Geng Baolei, and carried a few children to send a trip, the child who was crowded into the car, the first time to sit in such a luxurious car, he was so excited that he was at a loss.

Idle is also idle, Qiu Di was preparing dinner, he saw the male teacher hurriedly back to the office and dormitory, like a thief, cautiously approached the door, at this time, Lao Dong, Dai Lanjun, and Lao Loach were discussing something in another classroom, it must be a matter of route arrangement, I don't care about them, Qiu Di gently knocked on the door of the branch teacher as if he had something on his mind.

In response, the teacher politely got up, poured water, and respectfully put it in front of him, Qiu Di looked at him curiously, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"I've seen you like this, what do you want to donate?" the teacher smiled.

"Vision?" Qiu Di asked in surprise, and asked with a smile: "Donation also has vision?"

"Yes, look at our two eyes, one is respect, the other is pity, whether pity or respect, both stem from the same thing here: poverty!" the teacher said, very indifferently, but it aroused Qiu Di's strong interest, he said: "When we graduated, there were also those who chose to support the side, and we lost contact for many years, and we don't know what happened to them? I really don't know how you ......."

"You're wondering, how did we get by?" said the teacher.

"Yes. Qiu Di said, this kind of life like an ascetic is so poor that he really can't understand it.

"I don't know how to get by, you don't have to look at me with admiration, in fact, I'm not so noble, I chose the side not because I want this glory, but because I have no way out, instead of being in the big city, it's better to live in a quiet place...... In the city, I didn't feel like I was there at all, so my girlfriend and I signed up together......" said the teacher.

Qiu Di listened with reverence and blurted out, "It's too hard here, how difficult it is to live in this kind of place." ”

"That's it, you may not imagine how poor you can be here, school-age children, the best way to play is to herd sheep whips, buy a pencil and get it to the township, when we came, we didn't even have all the textbooks, let alone outside the classroom...... In the first lesson, I asked questions, they don't know how big their country is, they don't know where the capital is, they don't know how many ethnic groups there are in the country, and some people don't even know the national flag...... Later, I found out that the problem was that cultural poverty was more terrible than poverty, and the whole village found a Xinhua dictionary, which was still pirated...... I don't know why, but I cried so much. The teacher said in a calm tone, the contrast between before and after was already obvious, with the school, with the small library, with the sound of books, it was not only the students who changed, but also himself.

He looked at Qiu Di stunned, and explained with a smile: "Many tourists who have come to see us are crying and leaving, many of them donate their luggage to the school, and many of them have been sending things here after they go back...... I have wanted to leave many times, but I always can't make up my mind, I can't let go of here, the herdsmen in the whole township treat us as saints, this trust, we can't afford to live up to it...... Don't look at us with pity, we live to the fullest and are happy. ”

"I know...... I'm sorry. Qiu Di said, staring at it for a moment, he suddenly realized, almost forgot about the business, quickly took out his pocket, a stack of money, gently put it on the table, and said embarrassedly: "I am also from the countryside, and I blush a little when I see this place...... Do what you can......"

"Here...... Don't accept donations......" The teacher slowly pushed back, looking at Qiu Di's expression like pouring cold water, he said apologetically: "It's useless to give money, you can't buy anything even if you have money in this place......... And it's easy to arouse the greed of donors, so my girlfriend and I set such a rule for ourselves: don't don't donate. ”

"That's ......" Qiu Di was stunned.

"If you have the opportunity to send some books and school supplies to the children, you don't have to spend so much money...... Oh yes, you and Director Dong are together, and you have to trouble you to send this to us. The teacher said, pointing to the endless work.

When Qiu Di got up to look at it, it was a stack of letters, which he flipped through roughly, and sent them to all parts of the country, which were letters of thanks written crookedly by the students here, and the letter sheet was the teacher's neat words, and the envelope was dismantled and turned over and rewritten, drawing neat columns and zip boxes with a red pen, and the teacher smiled and said: "...... This is not only the hope of the pastoral area, but also the hope in the hearts of many tourists who have been here, and the hope in the hearts of those donors...... Maybe one day I'll leave here, but I don't think I'll ever regret my experience here......"

He took Qiu Di to visit the school, and in that small library, Qiu Di saw a lot of all kinds of books that were turned over, torn, trimmed, and neatly pasted.

When he saw the look of earnest advice when this couple led several senior children out of the school gate, he knew that the nobility that was obsessed with poverty was absolutely not pretentious.

He forgot the purpose of this trip, and also forgot the unhappiness of this trip, and always felt an urge to do something, and when Bao Xiaosan and Geng Baolei came back in the evening, the ideas of the three of them coincided head to head, ran out of a few miles with an umbrella, called Tang Ying who was far away in the capital, and made a long list of books and school supplies, and asked Tang Ying to buy them and send them here.

This, there is nothing pretentious, but it is difficult to do anything.........
