Chapter 292 A Different Travel (3/3 Ask for a Monthly Pass)
Jincheng, this is a very special city!
Just looking at the map, you will feel that its geographical location is very good. It is located in Hubei Province in the east, Sichuan Province and Yushan City in the south. Within Qin Province, it is adjacent to Chang'an, the provincial capital, and the distance between the two places is only two kilometers.
More than a hundred kilometers.
No matter how you look at it, it is a hub city with convenient transportation and extending in all directions!
"However, this is not the case! If you have visited, you will know that our Jincheng has mountains and rivers. And with the Han River as the boundary, we have the Daba Mountains to the south and the Qinling Mountains to the north. The mountainous area accounts for 100% of the city.
Ninety-two point five, and the rest is divided between hills and rivers and flat dams. It can be said that we are also a mountain town!"
…
After getting off the plane, Yang Qian and Dai Yuni saw Pan Qian who came to pick them up.
Pan Qian, who is only 23 years old this year, is actually the same age as them. She is taller and slimmer.
Wearing a floral dress, she looked particularly delicate standing under the afternoon sunshine. Her long hair reflected the sunlight and seemed to be dyed with a light golden brown.
However, after seeing the front, some good-looking people may be disappointed. Pan Qian is not outstanding in appearance. She has single eyelids, long and thin corners, and some youthful acne marks on her face.
Of course, she is worthy of being a graduate of the famous geographical science major of Shanghai Normal University. When Pan Qian introduced her hometown to Yang Qian and others, she blurted out some geographical data and geographical terms, which made people feel her uniqueness.
different!
Jincheng is indeed a "small" city that is not very wealthy.
The "small" here does not mean its entire area. The complete area of Jincheng is not small, but apart from the mountains and rivers with an average altitude of more than 2,000 meters, the urban area of Jincheng is very small, very small!
Yang Qian also learned before coming here that the GDP of Magic City is thirty-eight times that of Jincheng!
Of course, first-tier cities cannot be compared with small cities in the northwest. For example, Yang Qian's hometown, relying on its geographical advantage of being near the sea, has a GDP that is three or four times that of Jincheng.
But when they actually arrived in Jincheng and saw that the urban area was small and backward, and the scene on the streets was not even comparable to that of a small county town in Hecheng, Yang Qian and Dai Yuni realized that Pan Qian had resolutely chosen to leave the prosperous, comfortable, and promising city.
Du, what kind of courage is it to return to your hometown to teach!
The school where Pan Qian came back to teach is actually not far from the airport, which also means that the school is quite far from the city.
This is not difficult to understand, because the purpose of establishing this newly built middle school is actually to share some of the high-quality teachers of Jincheng Middle School with children in those mountainous areas. (Note 1)
It is built on the outskirts of the city closest to the mountains and surrounded by large bus stations.
In this way, children in mountainous areas can take the bus from their town to school every Sunday afternoon, and then take the bus home again after Friday holiday.
"But in fact, many children live at the school and do not go back on weekends, because it may take a long time to take a bus back, or some of them have poor conditions and have to walk a long mountain road."
"And another situation is that their accommodation and meals at school are subsidized by the government. They don't have to pay much. This means they can eat better and fuller than at home! So,
Just stay in school and concentrate on your studies."
The situation of education in mountainous areas has changed a lot from that of more than ten years ago. The previous decentralized education method had a huge problem of uneven distribution of educational resources.
Gathering students from mountainous areas so that primary school children go to schools in towns and middle school children to schools in counties or cities will not only be more conducive to the distribution of educational resources, but also provide children in mountainous areas with a better education.
Learning environment!
Of course, the change in the educational concepts of people in impoverished mountainous areas is also a key factor for children to go out of the mountains, study harder, and change themselves and their hometown.
"It's not impossible if you live on campus. There are teachers' dormitories now, and there's an empty room next door to me."
"Because a film crew came to our place for filming some time ago, and the lead actress lived there for a while. Her quilts and mattresses were all left to me. I even washed them. If you don't mind, I talked to the school leaders.
Apply and let you live there for the next two days!"
Pan Qian originally wanted to send Yang Qian and Dai Yuni to a better hotel in the city, for fear that they would not be accustomed to living there, but after Yang Qian and Dai Yuni discussed it, they both decided to live in the school.
So, the taxi turned around and drove towards the school again.
"Do you still have a crew filming there?"
Dai Yuni was a little surprised.
She didn't notice that Yang Qian wasn't surprised, but he was afraid of being exposed and didn't dare to say anything.
"Yes, it seems to be a movie about supporting teachers, right? They don't know how they know about me, and they even asked the lead actor to experience working as a teacher with me for a period of time. As for what happened a few days ago, they just left."
Pan Qian smiled.
Pan Qian did not connect the two groups of people at all, because Yang Qian interviewed her almost two months ago.
"Yeah?"
Dai Yuni also didn't doubt that he was there.
She even turned to Yang Qian regretfully and sighed:
"If I can take the exam a few days earlier, maybe we can come over and see others filming!"
"It shouldn't be difficult to watch filming. Let's go shopping in Hengdian later. There are film actors everywhere. You might even be able to act as a minor actor."
Yang Qian smiled.
"Yes, there are people recruiting extras everywhere. If we have a chance, let's go and experience it. These are good materials for writing songs!"
Dai Yuni smiled and patted Yang Qian on the shoulder.
She has no interest in being an actress, she just wants to join in the fun and watch it.
"Junior sister, do you want to see how they look when filming? I took a few photos of them here. The actress is quite beautiful. However, in order to make the photos more realistic, they used makeup to make her look ordinary.
!”
Pan Qian took out her mobile phone.
"Okay, okay!"
Dai Yuni walked over happily.
…
In an inland city with mountains and water, rain is naturally inevitable!
When Yang Qian and the others arrived in Jincheng, the weather was still clear and sunny, but as the taxi approached the school, the weather suddenly changed.
The sky gradually darkened first, and the clouds in the sky began to pile up one after another. Yang Qian looked out of the car window and saw that the low buildings in the city had become gray - this was more like coming to a small county town, or even coming here.
The feeling of being in a sparsely populated small town.
On the other hand, the gate and teaching building of Jincheng Middle School Bowen Branch in front look relatively new - after all, it was only built a few years ago!
The middle school students rushing back to their dormitories or classrooms on the road are not as rustic as Yang Qian thought before, and the school uniforms, which are mainly white and supplemented by green, also look very clean and fresh.
Compared with the gloomy weather, they have become the most energetic and promising part of this small city.
"It's going to rain. You go and sit in my dormitory first! I'll call the leader to apply and get you the keys."
Pan Qian helped them unload their heavy books, guitars and other luggage. Obviously, there was no way to send these books over now, so Pan Qian took them to settle down first.
(Note 1: These are made up by Xiaohan himself. Xiaohan doesn’t know whether they exist in reality. I hope there is such a school!)
