The two of them walked around the B&B, and after looking around, they decided to go out for a walk. After all, they still had one afternoon, and it would be too boring to stay here all the time.
So Li Xiao temporarily changed from a food anchor to an outdoor anchor.
But if you say you want to go out for fun, it is true that there is nothing to visit. After all, it is just a town, and it has no so-called characteristics.
Li Xiao and Chen Xu found a small local temple outside and walked in. The temple was sparsely populated, and there were only two resident monks. They were a little surprised to see someone coming.
Li Xiao and Chen Xu said hello to them and walked into a main hall.
The Buddha statues in the store are all common, but the two monks obviously know the treasures very well and told the legends about each Buddha statue.
Li Xiao also took the fans in the live broadcast room to learn more about science.
Although the stories told by the two monks were not as humorous and interesting as those told by the tour guide, they were very detailed and the eyes were very pious.
Li Xiao couldn't help but become fascinated after hearing this. By the time he realized what he was saying, two or three hours had passed.
Before leaving, Li Xiao looked at the Buddha statue in the middle of the hall and bowed specially, not because he wanted to ask for anything, but simply because he wanted to bow before him, without any distracting thoughts in his heart.
Li Xiao and Chen Xu walked out, and Chen Xu didn't forget to tease Li Xiao.
"You are fascinated by what I heard. Why, are you interested?"
Li Xiao glanced at him and said, "Isn't this just like listening to a story?"
Chen Xu curled his lips and said, "It doesn't look like it to me. You don't even know. When you saluted the Buddha statue before leaving just now, I felt that you were...how should I say, pious?"
When Li Xiao heard his adjective, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's natural to be pious when worshiping Buddha."
Hearing what Li Xiao said, Chen Xu became curious, "What wish did you make in your heart just now?"
Before Li Xiao could speak, Chen Xu continued: "Don't say you don't think about anything. If you have nothing to ask for, and you are not a Buddhist, how can you be so pious."
Li Xiao rolled her eyes at him, "Don't say anything yet, I really didn't think about it that much."
Chen Xu obviously didn't seem to believe it, but Li Xiao didn't care whether he believed it or not, it wasn't a big deal anyway.
But I don't know if it was Li Xiao's illusion. He always felt like he had a different feeling after coming out of there.
Li Xiao secretly shook his head, there is no difference, but after being exposed to new things, his mood will always change. For example, a person who has never been out will suddenly feel that he is in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
It's different.
After the two returned to the B&B, Uncle Li saw them coming back and walked over with a smile.
"It will take a while before dinner is served. Is there anything you want to eat? I can ask someone to set up a small stove for you."
Li Xiao smiled and said, "No, we just want to have a taste of what the canteen here is like."
Uncle Li smiled and nodded, then led the two of them to find a place to sit down.
Seeing that it was still early, a few people started chatting.
Li Xiao saw that Uncle Li's surname and appearance did not look like a local here, so he asked directly: "Uncle, your appearance doesn't seem to be a local?"
Uncle Li nodded, "Yes, my hometown is in Shandong. After finishing school, I came here to teach."
Supporting teaching?! Li Xiao's eyes changed when he looked at Uncle Li, with some admiration in his expression.
Teachers who dare to teach are really worthy of admiration. Not to mention the difficult environment and low salary. Especially when coming here, you have to overcome altitude sickness, language barrier, etc.
Nowadays, XZ is very Chinese and much more developed, but Uncle Li looks like he is 50 years old. When he came to teach, this place was probably very poor.
"Uncle, you are this one." Li Xiao gave Uncle Li a thumbs up.
Uncle Li looked a little embarrassed, pursed his lips and smiled, "I didn't think much about it at the time. I just thought that I could contribute and not let down the cultivation of the motherland."
Speaking of this, Uncle Li's eyes shone brightly, "Coming here to support education is the most right thing I have done. I am an orphan myself, and I still rely on the country to study. I know how valuable and necessary it is to study. I
I want the children here to receive education.”
Maybe this is the teacher. Li Xiao looked a little excited and said, "Uncle, do you regret it?"
Uncle Li shook his head firmly, "I don't regret it."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and smiled sheepishly.
"Actually, I regretted it when I first came here. The conditions here are so difficult that I couldn't adapt to them for a while. The children I teach are obedient, but they don't understand the language. Every conversation takes a lot of effort, even
They didn't understand anything I said, and they even flinched and wanted to go back."
At this moment, a little boy ran in from outside and hugged Uncle Li's waist. His eyes rolled around and he looked at Li Xiao and the others curiously.
Uncle Li also hugged the child, looked at the child very lovingly, and touched his head.
"But looking at the children's eyes eager for knowledge and the 'teacher' whose voice was not standard, I felt it was worth it."
Li Xiao has always admired such righteous people, because if it were him, he knew that he would not be able to do it, so now facing Uncle Li, he admired him even more.
The child saw that they were silent, and then he said: "Principal, the food in the cafeteria is ready."
Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then thought it was natural. After teaching here all his life, it was no surprise to become the principal.
Hearing what the child said, Uncle Li quickly stood up and called Li Xiao and Chen Xu to the cafeteria to eat.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The cafeteria is naturally built in the school. It is not very big here and the school is not too far away. However, the temperature outside is also cooling down now. Li Xiao
There is also a car, so there is no reason to suffer the pain of walking. Although he is not afraid of the cold, he is a human being and will get tired.
The child had obviously never seen this kind of RV. After getting in the car, he looked around curiously, but he kept sitting there without moving, nor did he want to touch it like other children.
Those who come into contact with it are just looking at it, and they are taught very well by looking at it.
Li Xiao saw that he was cute, so she handed him a small doll in the car.
This little doll belonged to the two little girls. They had always carried it with them. Before leaving, they told Li Xiao that the car was not interesting, so they left it behind. It was a good time to coax the children.
The child first glanced at Uncle Li, saw him nodding, then took it and held it in his arms, and then played with the doll in his arms very happily.
After a while, they arrived at their destination. Before getting off the car, the child took a look at the doll with some reluctance. He liked it very much, but he was very sensible and didn't say anything.
Li Xiao smiled, took out the doll and handed it to him.
"Take it if you like it. It's a meeting gift from my brother."
The child's eyes lit up at first, and just when he was about to take it, he seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Uncle Li.
Uncle Li knew the value of this little doll in his heart. Although they didn't spend much time together, he could tell who Li Xiao and the others were. He knew that since they gave it to them, they really didn't care, so he smiled and nodded.
Signal the child to accept it.
Only then did the child accept it, smiled shyly at Li Xiao and the others, and whispered: "Thank you."
As soon as they entered the cafeteria, the children inside looked towards them one after another. Some of them were young and courageous, so they gathered around and shouted "Hello, principal", but their eyes couldn't help but look at Li Xiao and the others.
.
Someone who was brave even asked directly: "Grandpa Principal, who are these two uncles?"
Uncle Li smiled, said nothing, and asked them to go back to their seats to eat. Then he smiled apologetically at Li Xiao and the others: "I'm sorry, kids, for not being sensible."
Li Xiao thought it was nothing. It is normal for children to be curious. "They are quite cute like this."
Uncle Li smiled and said, "Isn't it true? I always feel the same way."
After finishing speaking, Uncle Li took them to the kitchen.
The back kitchen is equipped with a set of tables and chairs, presumably reserved for the chef to eat.
Sure enough, after a while, a woman walked in with food in her hand.
Uncle Li said a few words to the woman, and then she left.
After the woman left, Uncle Li smiled at them and said, "I knew you were going to broadcast live, so I happened to go out to eat."
Li Xiao didn't keep him. After all, if Uncle Li had dinner with them and watched their live broadcast, Uncle Li himself would feel uncomfortable.
Li Xiao looked at the dishes on the table. Most of them were meat. Maybe it was because Uncle Li was not from here, so the cooking style was not like the style here, but more like the Central Plains. Most of them were stir-fry dishes.
.
A mutton stir-fried with green onions, a stewed chicken, and a beef soup, all of which look steaming hot.
Li Xiao first pointed the camera at the dishes and took pictures before taking off his chopsticks.
First, I took a bite of chicken. The chicken had an ordinary taste, a bit woody. It must be that the chicken was older, not so tender, and the taste was a bit heavy.
If you stir-fry mutton with green onions, the mutton smell will still be there.
As for the beef soup, the beef has a strong aroma and the soup is also very fragrant. It must have been stewed for a long time.
To be honest, the taste of these dishes is definitely not as good as those in those restaurants, but it is just a big pot of rice in the cafeteria, so you can't ask for so much. Generally speaking, it is okay, at least there is no dark cuisine.
Moreover, Li Xiao observed that the kitchen was very clean and tidy, and there were no foreign objects in the dishes. To be honest, it was pretty good for a canteen to do this.
So Li Xiao told his thoughts and feelings truthfully, neither exaggerating nor belittling, just how they should be.
After dinner, the sky was longer here and it was still very bright outside, so Uncle Li invited them to visit the school.
Several people were walking on the playground, and students kept saying hello to Uncle Li.
It wasn't until a bell rang, and the children who were still lingering on the playground rushed towards the teaching building in a swarm, that the surrounding area became quiet.
Li Xiao looked at this school and felt a little uncomfortable. It would be an exaggeration to say that this school is shabby, but it is definitely not very good.
The teaching building is a brick building, but it is very mottled and the walls are cracked in some places. It looks very dangerous. The playground is more like land than a playground. It is not even paved with cement, let alone a plastic track.
.
And in the entire school, apart from the teaching building and the canteen, there is only one small toilet, which is still a dry toilet.
To be honest, in this day and age, many rural primary schools are better than the primary schools in this town.
"Uncle Li, how many children are there in this school?"
Uncle Li sighed, "56."
Li Xiao was stunned. Nowadays, many schools probably have more than this number of students in each grade.
Seemingly seeing Li Xiao's surprise, Uncle Li said: "There are few people here, so there are not many people who come to study. And the most important thing is that there are very few teachers here, and even more people can't teach.
"
Li Xiao sighed and followed Uncle Li into the teaching building without saying anything.
In the teaching building, classrooms are full of students. They are studying for self-study. The teacher is sitting on top, and the students below are doing homework.
Uncle Li took them to the principal's office. It was empty, except for a table and a few stools. The room was not very big.
A few people sat on the stools. Uncle Li poured them a bowl of butter tea, and then rubbed his hands nervously.
"I don't know if you are used to drinking it. I was not used to the taste of this stuff when I first came here."
Li Xiao saw that he was a little nervous, so he smiled and said, "I think it's good. After one bowl, your whole body will feel warm. It can also supplement the nutrients in the vegetables, how good it is."
Uncle Li also smiled, but he kept frowning and looked at Li Xiao over and over again, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
Li Xiao looked at him like this and had a guess in his mind, so he took the initiative and said: "Uncle, do you have something to say?"
Hearing what Li Xiao said, Uncle Li gritted his teeth, seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said: "To be honest, there is indeed something wrong, actually..."
Speaking of this, Uncle Li was a little embarrassed.
"Actually, when I first followed you, I didn't just want you to come to the cafeteria to eat."
Li Xiao had guessed this a long time ago. After all, this kind of canteen does not make any profit. Even if he ate it and said it was delicious, wouldn't there be people who would come here specifically to eat?
However, Li Xiao had some guesses about Uncle Li's purpose of inviting him here.
Sure enough, Uncle Li hesitated again and again, and finally said: "I want to ask you a favor."
Thanks to the big guys for your monthly votes and rewards, thank you
