Li Feng was a little dazed. Why is she a female secretary? It is not easy to be an official in a remote place like this. Unlike places like Lijiagang, the economy is moderate, the transportation is convenient, and there are not many troublemakers in the place. In these remote places,
The transportation is inconvenient, and people's thoughts seem to be restricted by transportation. Most people have strong local sentiments and still reject outsiders. Especially since it is too barren and has many troubles, which is difficult to manage. And Gao Xiaolan in front of me does not look like a mountain person, although her face is
Some of them look a bit sallow due to the water and soil, but it is still not difficult to see the temperament of city people.
"Hello, Secretary Gao." Li Xiaoman was a little surprised, but still stretched out his hand to shake the woman in front of him. It is not easy for a woman to be the top leader of a town, especially in remote mountainous areas, where the conditions are too poor.
It's miserable, few people are willing to stay here, and few people can stay here. Especially in Xiaoxiaoqiao Town, there are many ethnic minorities, and it is quite difficult to deal with many things.
"This Miao Secretary of Xiaoshuigou Village is also the principal of Xiaoshuigou Primary School." Gao Xiaolan's words made Li Feng couldn't help but look at the old man in front of him who opened the door for him. He turned out to be the secretary of a village and the principal of a primary school. What about the children next to him?
Could it be that he is a primary school student? It’s not that Li Feng doesn’t know that there are many poor places in Dajiang Province, but what he hears is false and what he sees is true. This is the first time Li Feng has had close contact. He thought that his village was already not rich enough, but the village had just solved the problem of food and clothing.
But the child in front of me has layers of dark brown oil spots on the worn clothes. It is not difficult to tell how long these clothes have been worn. Sometimes when lamenting that I am poor, it is better to think about these children in the mountains. They may feel how lucky they are.
There are at least two clean sets of clothes left to wear.
This will not cause much delay. Xiaoshuigou Village is in the mountains because the mountain roads are narrow and cars cannot enter it at all. The only option is to take a donkey cart. The children find it very interesting, but it is a pity that there are not many donkey carts and most of them are used for transportation this time.
The materials I brought include a truckload of clothes. As for schoolbags and stationery, I did not purchase them this time at Li Xiaoman’s request. Stationery and schoolbags are not practical at all. It’s winter, and it’s better to wear more clothes than not to wear any clothes at all.
It's better to wear a dry schoolbag and stationery.
The donkey cart is loaded with thick winter coats. The quality is guaranteed for 100,000 yuan. There is no brand and the price is cheap. Buy more than one. Li Xiaoman had inquired before coming. There are three in the town.
More than a hundred children live in extreme poverty. The factory price of these clothes is only five to six yuan and ten yuan a set. Li Feng found someone to contact him. Mr. Wang’s benefactor and comrade last time had been very grateful to Li Feng because his cancer had improved. This time he contacted Li Feng.
I asked this old man's grandson to help me a little. He is responsible for the management of this area and has a wide range of people. This is really a small matter.
Although the quality of the clothes is not the best, the warmth-keeping effect is good, and there is no harmful substance at all. This time, the materials are mostly clothes, grains and oils, etc. There are few special items. They are all real substances, more than ten
The donkey cart couldn't pull it at all, and in the end, the dozen children and the old principal who were accompanying him each carried a large bag of clothes. Li Feng didn't pay attention at first, thinking that the journey was not far and the clothes were not heavy.
Li Feng, Li Xiaoman, Xiaoqing, Gao Xiaolan, three children, plus the little black bear and the little monkey were sitting in a donkey cart, which was a bit crowded. The donkey cart drove slowly for half a year, and there was no sign of the mountain village. Li Feng
She asked Gao Xiaolan beside her with some confusion.
"Secretary Gao, how far is Xiaoshuigou Village?" Gao Xiaolan replied with a smile. "It's not far. It's just over a few hills." But Gao Xiaolan is not far away. A few hills are more than ten miles away.
Finally, Li Feng couldn't stand it anymore. An old man and more than a dozen children aged 11 or 12 were walking on the mountain road for more than an hour, carrying clothes and other things. Li Feng jumped out of the car and wanted to help. But the old principal waved his hand.
"It's okay, it's okay. Children walk this way every day." It turns out that Xiaoshuigou Primary School in Fangyuan is the only primary school within a radius of 30 to 40 miles. The people in the mountains live too scattered. If we still have the ability to build a school, we won't be able to do it.
The young children set out at three or four in the morning and walked 20 to 30 miles of mountain roads to school. Not to mention how difficult the conditions in mountain village primary schools are, just thinking about walking such a long way over mountains and ridges shows how difficult it is for the children in the mountains.
Li Feng feels that he is lucky. Although the road out of the mountain was not repaired when he was in school, it was better than here. But it was transported by oxcart, and he could stay at the school and go home on Saturdays. In addition, Li Feng's family conditions were not superior when he was a child.
, at least having enough food and clothing is not a big problem.
Li Feng's faces turned red when he saw all the children, but none of them said they were tired. Li Feng didn't know what to say. He was not in the mood to sit in a donkey cart at this moment. Finally, everyone got down. The goods could be put on
The cars were all put in the car. Although Gao Xiaolan and Principal Miao were talking about how embarrassed they were to let their benefactor walk, they couldn't say anything. Finally, when they were still seven or eight miles away from the village, Li Feng saw a touching scene. It turned out to be a woman from the village.
Carrying the bamboo, Li Feng and the others were stunned to not be allowed to leave.
"Thank you everyone, let's do this. The children are tired, let them sit." Li Feng looked at the babies, bells, and Mengmeng. These women are too enthusiastic and cannot sit down. The three children will sit down and let them do their best.
.At around twelve o'clock, we finally arrived at Xiaoshuigou Village.
The village is much larger than Lijiagang, with at least two to three hundred households. It is considered a very big village in the mountains. The village head is full of old people and children, eagerly watching the arrival of the donkey carts. Most of these donkey carts are organized by the town, and there are only two people in the village.
Three families had donkey carts. Many of the old people in the village were wearing strange clothes. Li Feng couldn’t tell what ethnic costume they were. But they were definitely not Han costumes. Li Feng was holding the baby Mengmeng, and Xiaoqing was holding Mengmeng. Several people in this scene were still confused.
I really had never seen them before. At this moment, Li Feng felt that he didn't know what to feel. It was just that these people's eyes gave Li Feng a big impact.
It is a kind of indifference and hope that has been tortured by poverty. It is an indelible trace left by a group of old people who have struggled on the poverty line for many years. A group of children are a little afraid of the coming people and timidly peek through the dark water with their big eyes.
Looking at Li Feng and the others, the person in charge, Zhu Ming, seemed to have seen too much this time and didn't have much sense. He directed everyone to carry the materials. A group of children and old people came to help. However, these clothes, grains and oils had to be counted, and finally decided to transport them first.
Li Feng arrived at the elementary school. Although he had been prepared for it, he saw that there were several sheds that looked like cowsheds but turned out to be the only elementary school within dozens of miles. Li Xiaoman and Xiaoqing's eyes turned red.
The three little girls sniffed their noses. They thought Likouzi Elementary School was already very bad. But compared with here, it was like paradise.
Gao Xiaolan introduced it to the side, because the mountains are not rich and should not be very poor. Most of the children go home to help the family make ends meet. There is only one teacher in the whole elementary school, the old principal. Speaking of which, this old principal has only finished high school.
After primary school, he is not considered a high-level intellectual. Even so, there are only a few people in the village who have completed primary school.
Li Xiaoman and Xiaoqing both grew up in the city. Although Li Xiaoman grew up in an orphanage, he did not suffer much for so many years until he graduated from college. Although life was harder for a few years after having a baby, he was still in the mountain village at this time.
Compared with other people here, Li Xiaoman feels that those in his family are not poor at all.
There are five classes in the entire elementary school. The first and second grade students have classes together, the third and fourth grade classes have class together, and the fifth grade class only has two days a week. Even so, the old principal doesn’t have a few days of rest every year. The most lacking thing in the mountains is not material things.
, not a school, but a teacher. But the wages here are extremely low, at most two to three hundred yuan a month, and no one is willing to come.
Li Feng listened and sighed, yes, others also need a living, so it is impossible to selflessly donate everything you have here. It is not easy for a college student, whether it is a rural or an ordinary family in the city, to provide for a college student. After graduation,
How can a family live here, and what should they do if they get married and buy a house in the future? If you have the will, you may not be able to do so. This is also a social reality. Why are so many people willing to stay in big cities, not just to make some money and buy a house, so that they can be able to live in the future?
Have a peaceful life. The most common and realistic dream is actually the most difficult dream to realize.
Taking root in a mountain village is easy to say, but a few people can do it. Li Feng knew that he couldn't do it. "Mr. Li, Ms. Li, this is the list of villagers in Xiaoshuigou Village. Can you see if these materials are being distributed now?
"Zhu Ming's main task this time is to serve Li Xiaoman's family. They have donated so much money, and they have the right to see that the money is used in practical ways. Because the amount of Li Xiaoman's donations was too large, they were transferred from the bank account in batches.
If Li Xiaoman discovers any misuse or squandering in the Project Hope account, he has the right to terminate the transfer of the next amount of money. These are all done with the help of the He family. Although Li Xiaoman is not very fond of the He family, this
Things are not bad, at least there is a little more protection.
"Okay, Director Zhu, it's okay. You're busy, I'll just take a look here." Li Xiaoman didn't have much thoughts at the moment. He just looked at the eyes of these children with hope and felt that the money was worth the donation. At least it would be more.
When these children walked out of the mountains and this barren land, everything they did was worth it.
Oils and grains were distributed directly to the village name of Xiaoshuigou. As for the clothes, the whole school has children, so the old principal needs to notify the children in each village to come and collect them, so it will not be possible for a while. There are too many children and it is too remote.
. It’s already been a holiday. Today, all the third, fourth and fifth grade children in Xiaoshuigou Village have been sent out. They will be notified about the afternoon. We will distribute them again then. It’s lunch time now. Early morning women’s purchase
There was a banquet, but no one had much appetite at this time. Li Feng just took care of the children and ate a little. (To be continued)
