Chapter 227
This road is all mountains and forests, and there is not even a personal figure.
The group walked for three hours, crossed a mountain, and finally came to the village gate of Chaoshi Village.
I saw that the village in front of me was dilapidated, every house was mud brick with asbestos tiles, the courtyard walls were made of fences, and each family had a few skinny chickens and ducks.
The people in the village saw the faces of the raw people, their expressions were timid, the children dropped the toys in their hands and ran back to the house, and those who could not walk cried out in the arms of their grandparents.
Seeing this, Ni Wei waved his hand, signaling everyone not to step forward for the time being.
Zhang Huaide carried the prepared fruit and walked to an old man with gray hair with a smile on his face, "Chen Cunzi, are you okay?"
"You... Are you Chief Zhang Ting? Village Chief Chen stood up with his crutches on his hands, looking excited.
"yes! Hahaha, I haven't seen it for half a year, your body looks tougher than before.
"Chief Zhang Ting, you are too polite, you bring us something every time you come over."
"I have good news for you, this time I not only brought you food, but also brought you two nobles."
"Noble? What nobles?
Village Chief Chen looked puzzled.
In his heart, Chief Zhang was already an unreachable nobleman, and he was the biggest official he had ever seen in his life.
"This is our Ni Weizhi County, who came to solve the difficulties in our village, and this is Ye Pu, chairman of Koumu Group, who came to our Random Stone Village to investigate poverty alleviation and help us solve our economic difficulties, and in the future, the children in the village will no longer have to walk for six hours to school, and everyone can also eat meat..."
Zhang Tingchang became more and more excited the more he spoke, his face was red, and his voice trembled.
Hearing Chief Zhang's words, the group of villagers were stunned, as if they couldn't believe it.
In their minds, those in town who can afford to drive a car are rich people, but how can one person's money help so many people?
You know, although the village is a small mountain village, even if the villagers who go out to work are excluded, there are more than 300 people, and everyone needs to eat meat, wear new clothes, and build a primary school, how much does it cost!
"Hello Ni Zhixian!"
"Hello Ye Dong! Thank you two for your hard work and coming to our Random Stone Village to help us solve our difficulties! "
Village Chief Chen is also well-informed compared to other villagers.
Hearing Zhang Tingchang's words, his cloudy eyes emitted a sharp light, and his face was full of wrinkles.
Knowing that such a big official in the county has come, how can he still do a fake.
After speaking, he excitedly grabbed Ye Pui's hand and shouted towards the villagers: "I don't thank Ni Zhixian and Ye Dong yet!"
When the others saw that the village chief said so, they doubted that there was him, and said solemnly: "Thank you Ni Zhixian, Ye Dong!"
Looking at the simple eyes of the villagers, Ye Pupil was also in a complicated mood, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, everyone's life will definitely get better in the future."
"By the way, today is not Saturday and Sunday, why don't so many of you children go to school?"
Although Chaoshi Village is poor, nine years of education is free, so it should not be impossible to afford to go to school!
"Hey!"
"These babies who didn't go to school are children who are desperate!"
Village Chief Chen sighed and said, "Although our village is poor, we also know that knowledge is the truth that changes destiny, and the children who remain in the village have lost their fathers. "
Lost your father?!"
Village Chief Chen said: "Yes, because the village is too poor, men can not afford to stay in the village to support their families, many of them go out to work, but they have no education, they can't find any decent jobs, most of them can only go out to work as coolies, many of them went to the mine to mine, and finally died in the mine."
"Without a man in the family, it means losing the breadwinner, and the children have to drop out of school and stay at home to help their mothers do some farm work and subsidize the family."
Ye Pupil suddenly nodded distressedly and beckoned to a child.
At the signal of the village chief, a seven or eight-year-old boy with dirty clothes walked over.
Ye Pupil squatted down, put his hand on the boy's shoulder, and asked, "Do you want to study?"
The boy shook his head and gave an unexpected answer, "No."
"It is said that studying can change your destiny, and after being admitted to a good university, you can find a good job, and you can eat meat every day and change new clothes every day, don't you want to change your destiny?"
Ye Pupil asked with a curious look.
Coming out of the countryside, he also knows that for most people, reading books cannot change their fate greatly, but at least it can change the dilemma of life.
The boy shook his head stubbornly, "I want to change my destiny, but I don't want to study."
Ye Pupil was a little speechless, and at the same time a little disappointed, and said with a lessonical tone: "If you don't pay, you want to get a harvest, how can there be such a good thing under the sky?"
The boy frowned and said with a firm expression: "I can't go to school, my grandparents didn't go up the mountain to cut firewood when I went to school, and I would starve to death without firewood to cook."
All of a sudden, everyone was stunned, and their hearts seemed to be blocked by something, faintly painful.
Village Chief Chen sighed helplessly and explained: "This is a bitter child, his father died the year before last, and his mother ran away because the life was too hard to survive, leaving him and the two old men at home to rely on each other."
At this time, Zhang Tingchang smiled bitterly and said: "Many people understand the truth that knowledge can change destiny, but the reality does not allow it!" In our town, although such families are not the majority, there are hundreds of children who have to abandon school and participate in labor because their parents are absent or have lost their labor force.
"In addition, because many villages do not have access roads, children start going out at four or five in the morning in order to go to school, and walk for three or four hours to get to school."
"Sometimes the weather is bad, rain or snow, not to mention the danger, just delay the study time, which is one of the reasons that hinder the admission of mountain children to university."
Ni Zhixian smiled bitterly and fell silent.
He obviously knows this situation at the grassroots level, there are only two primary schools in poor towns, and children in the mountains have to travel long distances for at least four or five hours a day.
The same is learning, children in the city walk a few minutes close, and parents far away drive to school in about ten minutes.
Everyone only has twenty-four hours, regardless of material matters, and compared with the time spent on studying, there are a lot less children in the mountains.
This is also a student admitted to a first-class university, basically from the city, especially students with superior family conditions.
It's really hard for a child in the mountains to change their destiny!
