Gu Yun stared into Deng Jingjing's eyes and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Through various details, he suddenly figured out the ins and outs of this volunteer teaching activity.
It must be that after Hua Shiyuan went to Yingshan County, she found that the local education resources were scarce and it was not easy to improve the economy in a poor and remote place. It was better to organize a teaching mission through her cousin at school and build a good relationship with the local residents.
If he didn't go, the volunteer teacher Zhong Leyi would definitely meet up with Hua Shiyuan from Yingshan County. During the month-long living together as a volunteer teacher, it would be impossible for the two of them not to keep in touch with themselves. If they were not careful, a spark would hit the earth.
What if I go...
Just thinking about the scene that is going to happen next, Gu Yun can't help but feel his scalp numb.
Two girlfriends dancing with him on the tip of a knife in a remote mountain village is definitely a very bad sign.
no.
Absolutely cannot refuse.
As long as Zhong Leyi has the possibility of going, he must appear in Yingshan County.
What to do after you go?
Before Gu Yun had time to think about this problem, Deng Jingjing beside him spoke again: "Xiao Gu, you should go back and think about it carefully first. Submit the final list in a week. If you absolutely don't want to go, tell the teacher before then."
Walking out of the Youth League Committee office, the scorching June sun was radiating heat unreasonably, and Gu Yun's heart was filled with boredom.
...
"What did you say? We are also exchange cadres, but you are the only girl stationed in the village, while most of the people are blowing air conditioners in the government building?"
After get off work in the evening, Hua Shiyuan called to complain.
There are almost no entertainment facilities in the village. The stars in late summer are clearly visible. There are no high-rise buildings in the village. Even the wind blows and it becomes particularly transparent. I can't help but miss my boyfriend a little more.
There are no secrets in the agency. The completely different situations between Hua Shiyuan and another exchange cadre Gao Zhihong were noticed by local cadres, and the gossip spread back to the High-tech Zone Government a few days later.
Hua Shiyuan made many friends in the workplace, and soon her sister in the same office secretly sent Hua Shiyuan a WeChat message telling her Gao Zhihong’s little secret.
Gao Zhihong's grandfather, Gao Hang, was once an old leader of the Organization Department of Jiangcheng. Gao Hang retired peacefully and had a smooth life. He had a wide network of contacts in Jiangcheng and had two sons and two daughters. Gao Hang's eldest son, Gao Tian, joined the Organization Department of the Jiangcheng Committee as soon as he graduated.
, currently holding the deputy position, is in his prime years.
When communicating and exercising at the grassroots level, there are always some unwritten and hidden rules, such as trying not to let girls stay in the village, and for example, when choosing one from the other, boys will have priority to go to poor and difficult places.
But this time it seemed to have failed. Gao Zhihong, the boy chosen from the second choice, not only went to a town with relatively good economic conditions, but was also not far from Jiangcheng. He had food and accommodation in the town government building, and could go home to visit relatives every now and then.
When the economy is good, there are more places to operate, and it is relatively easy to achieve results when cadres communicate. Compared with the poor and backward Yingshan County, the paradise village is like a sky and a place. Gao Zhihong has made it clear that he wants to pick peaches.
.
Anyone with a discerning eye can understand that Hua Shiyuan was tricked out of nowhere. Colleagues were filled with indignation about this, but the whole process was done in a regular manner and they could not find any fault. They could only tell Hua Shiyuan quietly to prevent this poor person from doing anything wrong.
The girl knew nothing.
"Yes, and I heard that it was my colleague who operated behind the scenes and replaced the Yingshan County he was supposed to go to with me, just so that he would not endure hardship and the final result would be better. Do you think this is true?"
The girl's voice on the other side of the phone was low, full of doubts and confusion. It seemed that this question was not for Gu Yun, but for the world.
We are all colleagues, and I have not offended each other at all. It’s just a matter of that, so what?
"Have you ever heard of the New Testament Gospel of Matthew in the Bible?" Gu Yun held the phone closer and spoke earnestly.
"To everyone who has, more will be given, and to him he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him."
Later generations called it the Matthew effect, which refers to a phenomenon prevalent in society: the strong get stronger, the weak get weaker, and the winner takes all.
The Matthew Effect exists in every aspect of life and begins to work from the moment we are born.
Children who are born in a peaceful and wealthy country are more likely to have a happy life when they grow up; but those who are born in a war-torn place, where even survival is a problem, will not have many opportunities to realize their ideals when they grow up.
Children from powerful families have been nurtured since childhood, and when they grow up, they will have more connections, resources and opportunities to launch successful careers. Children from ordinary families are on the same track as each other, and even working overtime and working hard is not worth a value exchange. It is difficult to
There is a day to come.
It stands to reason that Hua Shiyuan is not a child of an ordinary family, but in this three-acre area of Jiangcheng, Hua Guoqiang's level is indeed not high enough compared to the elders in Gao Zhihong's family.
"..."
After hearing this, Hua Shiyuan was silent for a long time, with mixed feelings in her heart. As an intern in a government office, she would naturally not have a conflict of interest with any of her colleagues, and would not face the cruel competition in society.
When she officially graduated and entered the government office again as an office clerk, the world was completely different.
You are excellent, you are good at dancing, you stand out from the crowd, then try the treatment of being the best.
"It doesn't matter. Being a village cadre is not necessarily a bad thing."
"How is this a good thing?"
Holding her cell phone in one hand, Hua Shiyuan stood in the courtyard of the farmhouse and looked around, trying to find a point of entry for self-comfort.
There were no lights in the yard, and there was darkness around her. Only the sporadic cries of chickens and ducks made her realize that she was in the countryside at this moment.
"The cadres stationed in the village know the situation at the grassroots level best. I think your proposal of volunteer teaching is very good. It can change the entire county from point to point, but the scale is too small. Doesn't he want to pick peaches? Then do it well
Let him see which of you two has changed the most in the county where you communicated."
Gu Yun already had a plan in mind.
"This scale is still small? My cousin has brought hundreds of people over to teach. There are enough graduates of school age in the entire county to teach!"
"Teaching for a month, what next? If you don't completely solve the problem of educational poverty, you won't be able to change the current situation in Yingshan County."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Hua Shiyuan was a little discouraged. With her connections and abilities, she had already tried her best to bring Deng Jingjing's support to teach.
"Build a school! You will be teaching for one month, first gather the students, and then build a school in the town. Don't ask me where the teachers come from. Think about what I started from?"
Gu Yun left his last words, and Hua Shiyuan's eyes lit up, blazing like the brightest North Star in the dark night of the village.
...
Gu Yun's last exam ended relatively early. During the self-study class together, he asked around and confirmed that Zhong Leyi didn't know yet that she wanted to go to Yingshan County to teach.
Zhong Leyi only knew that the Youth League Committee was organizing volunteer activities during the summer vacation, and the teacher from the Youth League Committee recommended that she sign up, but she didn't ask in detail who she would do what she would do with them. She completely followed the school's arrangements and could just prepare for the exam with peace of mind.
Participants of this event do not need to leave the school collectively. After the exam, depending on the end time of the exam, there will be about three days of vacation to go home and prepare some necessities.
Then just arrive at the destination and meet up at the agreed time.
Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem too difficult to hide who you will attend the event with before arriving. This time is enough time to prepare yourself.
After finishing the last exam, Gu Yun drove alone to Yingshan County.
