Chapter 162: Little Mountain Village
June 22, six a.m.
Fang Nian hurried to the meeting point with his bag on his back: People's Square.
It's almost pinched.
Lu Weiyu arrived earlier than him and was carrying a small bag.
It's like a schoolbag carried by a kindergarten child, with a doll hanging on the zipper.
In comparison, the small bag that Fang Nian bought temporarily last night was very colossal.
He was eating breakfast with a bulging mouth, and when he saw Fang Nian, Lu Wei asked in a low voice, "Have you eaten?"
"I don't need to leave you two. ”
Fang Nian blinked: "I've eaten, how can you be in such a hurry." ”
It was scheduled to leave at six o'clock, but some people arrived a little later.
Finally, it was 6:15 a.m. before the official departure.
A bus loaded everyone and small goods.
Fang Nian sat with Lu Weiyu as a matter of course.
"I was a little dizzy on the coach. Lu Wei whispered.
There was a little excitement between her eyebrows as she spoke, because she took a place in the front row.
Fang Nian smacked his lips: "Hey, you actually get motion sickness, then you won't vomit on me for the breakfast you just ate, right?"
Lu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then flattened her mouth: "Hmph!"
I'm a little angry in my heart, I'm not a god, what's wrong with motion sickness? I'm not the only one in the world who gets motion sickness!
What do you mean by disgusted!
It's very angry, isn't it?
Thinking about it, Lu Weiyu turned her head, simply looked out the window, and showed Fang Nian a beating ponytail.
Fang Nian had an interesting smile on his face.
No squeaks.
He clearly remembered that in his former youth, there was a ponytail girl with a vague image and all his fantasies.
And now, the girl who fantasized about all the fantasies of youth coincides with Lu Weiyu's image.
In another life, Fang Nian still likes Lu Weiyu very much.
Blinking in her eyebrows.
When she's serious.
In her pouting in anger.
In the jumping up and down of her ponytail, little by little she trapped herself in, unwilling to pull it out.
However, Fang Nian will only participate in Lu Weiyu's life appropriately, at most, she will not be allowed to suffer, and what will happen in the future will be left to time.
Thinking of this, Fang Nian got up and took an item from the small bag on the luggage rack, and smacked his lips casually: "I don't know why there is more motion sickness medicine in the bag." ”
Ponytail jumped.
Didn't make a sound.
So Fang Nian shook the medicine bottle gently, making a collision sound.
Lu Weiyu snorted lightly: "I'm just a little dizzy, I don't need it!"
"Okay. Fang Nian didn't care.
This is clear to Fang Nian.
Lu Weiyu drives very steadily, and there is no motion sickness.
She just fainted from the tourist bus, especially the one with air conditioning and locked windows.
It stands to reason that Fang Nian would not know such a trivial matter.
Because when Fang Nian met Lu Weiyu, she was 25 years old and had a successful career, a house and a car.
Although the house is on loan, the car is paid in full.
The relationship between the two friends will not have the possibility of signing up for a group to travel together.
It was a very fortuitous opportunity, and I was in a hurry to travel across the city to go to the customer site, and the fastest way at that time was by bus, and that was it.
The reason why Fang Nian bought motion sickness medicine was really not remembered, it was purely an extra preparation, he only remembered it after Lu Weiyu had just told him......
It was very early, and soon the voices in the car were quiet.
Some people finish their breakfast and start to be in a daze or nap.
Fang Nian is no exception.
Riding a long-distance bus is the most boring thing, especially this kind of bus, and the playability of mobile phones is not high yet.
............
I don't know how long later, Wu Shufen's loud voice woke up the dozing people in the car.
"Wake up, everyone, we're here!"
Fang Nian is no exception.
When you habitually raise your right hand, you feel pressure.
Lowering his head, Lu Weiyu's head shrank on his arm, sleeping soundly.
Fang Nian found out that Lu Weiyu at this time was like this after falling asleep: quiet, slight, and insecure.
This was the first time Fang Nian had seen Lu Weiyu sleeping.
Looking at it from such a close distance, Lu Weiyu's skin is really good, and even fine fluff can be seen on her fair face, which is smooth and clean.
Seeing Lu Weiyu's eyelashes blinking, Fang Nian quickly closed his eyes.
"Ah~"
After Lu Weiyu woke up, she exclaimed in a small voice, and then secretly looked at Fang Nian.
Seeing that Fang Nian hadn't woken up yet, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he cleared his throat, pushed Nian Xia with his hand, and shouted: "Fang Nian, it's here!"
"Where are you?" Fang Nian asked deliberately subconsciously.
Lu Weiyu repeated: "It's here! Get up and get off the car!"
Fang Nian sighed, rubbed his eyes and got up to get something.
The sluggish movements and the knee-jerk reaction of waking up hazy are somewhat unreasonable if you don't give an Oscar winner.
............
When the group got out of the car, they found that the bus had stopped on a dirt road.
The surrounding view is wide, and the houses are disorderly.
Compared with the prosperity of Shencheng, it is like heaven and earth.
Fang Nian looked at the time, it was almost nine o'clock, nearly three hours by car, to say the least, it was more than one hundred and fifty kilometers away.
Wu Shufen clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention and said, "The bus in front is not easy to enter, and there is still a mile of land." ”
"I had to work hard to bring textbooks, stationery, and other things that we brought here. ”
"Let me tell you in advance, there will be more things today, so everyone is ready. ”
"Everyone remember to wear vests and cards. ”
“......”
In addition to the vests, each volunteer was asked to wear a card with the word 'volunteer' written on it.
In addition to the 19 volunteers, there were also club employees and a small number of media reporters on the tour bus.
Fang Nian and Lu Weiyu were in a group, carrying a basket of stationery and following the team along the dirt road.
On the way, Lu Wei asked in a low voice, "Fang Nian, is this also the case in the countryside of your hometown?"
Hearing this, Fang Nian looked around.
This village, whose name is unknown, is almost indistinguishable from Maoba.
Most of the houses that can be seen now have tiles on the outside.
There are also a few dilapidated houses.
It was still early, and there was green smoke rising.
Villagers are working in the fields, and the harvest is approaching, and the rice in the fields by the road hangs down and waits for harvest.
According to the color of the rice, it can be clearly distinguished that there are two crops of rice and one season of rice planted in the field.
Occasionally, villagers working at work looked at their group.
You can also see children playing around.
If he hadn't come to help students, Fang Nian would have felt that this was the same as Maoba, a good idyllic scenery.
Then he answered Lu Weiyu's question: "It's the same, it's also planting rice, working in the fields most of the time, there is green smoke curling, and the air is fresh." ”
"There are also places of poverty because the villagers don't have many livelihood skills. ”
Lu Weiyu nodded: "I heard my parents say that my grandfather's generation lived in the countryside, and the family was poor, and our family moved to the city later." ”
"This is my first time in the countryside, will there really be wild dogs and geese chasing people?"
Fang Nian thought to himself, in a few years, no matter if you have lived in the countryside or not, you can see the style of the countryside through online videos.
You can also see the teenagers who are being chased by the big white geese.
He knows Lu Weiyu's basic family situation.
In fact, my grandfather's generation moved out, and lived in a small city, if you take a car south from Fang Nian's hometown to Yangcheng and Pengcheng, you will almost inevitably pass through the city, Shaozhou.
If you want to force fate, Fang Nian's grandfather who died in the 80s also went to Shaozhou to dig coal and work hard, but Fang Nian's grandfather returned to his hometown after earning money.
"You should be able to see you later. Fang Nian smiled mysteriously.
At that time, everyone heard the barking of dogs.
Lu Weiyu also heard it, and her footsteps paused before continuing to walk forward.
I wondered in my heart that there were so many people, what was there to be afraid of......
...... I don't know if it was the village chief or the cadres of the village party secretary who brought a few villagers to greet them.
"Welcome, welcome. ”
The middle-aged and elderly man in the lead said with a smile.
With a more local accent.
It's that everyone can understand it.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you been here so early?"
An employee of the club smiled and replied, "I've eaten it all." ”
Then he briefly negotiated with the man in charge.
The middle-aged and elderly man said, "Everyone, help these volunteers from the city carry things." ”
“......”
Wu Shufen led the volunteers to continue to move things.
There are a lot of donated items that come with the bus.
The further I went, the narrower the road became, the houses increased, the number of people increased, and I saw dogs.
It's just domestic.
When the dog barks, it will be reprimanded by the owner.
This made Lu Weiyu feel a lot more at ease.
It's not that she's afraid of dogs, but she's not afraid of pet dogs.
Fang Nian walked and visually observed that there may be more than 300 students in the sixth grade of a primary school in such a large village plus kindergarten.
For example, when Fang Nian was in primary school, at the beginning, there were about 30 people in one class per grade, and later several primary schools were merged, and each grade had at least two classes, and one primary school had 7 or 800 students.
There have also been exceptions of dropping out of school as a result.
The campaign to help out-of-school children return to school, while it may sound like a big deal, is actually only targeting the village.
Maybe it's one village, maybe it's multiple villages.
"It's right up front to our school. ”
Let's call it the middle-aged and elderly man of the village head.
Following the direction of the village chief's finger, everyone saw the building in front of them.
There is no school gate to be seen, and there is no walled and two-story building, which is neither new nor old, nor dilapidated, as is the case in the usual elementary schools in the city.
"This is the playground, so please put your things at the door of the classroom first. The village chief commanded.
The floor of the playground is not hardened, there is only a basketball hoop with two table tennis tables.
The village chief explained a few words: "We have merged the primary schools, and the conditions of this school are better, so they are all merged, and everything is missing, and we are going to build a few more classrooms next to it......"
“......”
In short, as Fang Nian guessed.
Due to various reasons, such as insufficient teachers and scarce students, several primary schools were merged, but there were not enough school buildings, resulting in a number of children dropping out of school.
And the village chief was so thoughtful that he thought of turning to the relevant charity for help.
The Charity Chapter helped with that.
Although the state has exempted compulsory education tuition and miscellaneous fees, the situation of dropping out of school still exists......
The crowd looked at the scene in front of them, and then there was a small exclamation from the crowd.
Lu Weiyu was also surprised: "Why is their blackboard still made of wood and hung on the wall." ”
"Isn't it a single desk? ”
“......”
As she spoke, Lu Wei coughed twice embarrassedly and looked at Fang Nian.
"Ahem, Fang Nian, why aren't you curious at all?"
Fang Nian smiled: "Maybe I've seen too much and I'm not very curious." ”
"That's pretty much the same in elementary schools in my hometown. ”
Lu Weiyu: "......"
At least, from the current point of view, the situation here is still relatively good, there are things missing, but the school is still functioning normally......
