It rang three times in total and then hung up. After a while, the phone rang again. This time, it only rang twice before hanging up. Until then, both Lei Yan and Feng Beichen breathed a sigh of relief. Feng Beichen
He smiled and said to Lei Yan.
"Don't worry now."
Lei Yan finally sat down and picked up his phone. After a while, a WeChat message was sent.
“It’s time to call it a day and have a midnight snack.”
Seeing this message, Lei Yan smiled, then picked up the phone, waved it in front of Feng Beichen, and said.
"This guy has returned to Maxwell Manor."
"Okay, it's getting late. You should go back and rest early. Tomorrow will be a new day."
After Feng Beichen finished speaking, he picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, and then said something disgusting.
"Your tea-making skills are really a waste of this fine tea. Let's go."
After saying that, Feng Beichen left Lei Yan's office and prepared to go back to Jinxi Garden to hug his wife.
And Lei Yan's expression was obviously much more relaxed than he had been a few days ago. He looked out the window at the dark night, but he was no longer as uneasy as he had been a few days ago.
Yes, tomorrow will be a new beginning, because the killer blood shadow has returned to the world, and all of this will have nothing to do with him. He will only exist in this world as the president of the Feng Group, and he will live in
in the sun.
Thinking of this, Lei Yan once again looked out the window at the starry night scene of Kyoto, with a strange light blooming in his deep eyes. As long as everything was over, he would go to the Xiao family to propose marriage with his full sincerity, and then give
Xiao Muyou held a grand wedding.
That night, Lei Yan was so excited that he had some insomnia, but Xiao Muyou, who was thousands of miles away in a guest house in Sanyuan Town, had a good night's sleep.
The next day, before it was fully light, Xiao Muyou and the others had already gathered at the door of the guest house. Because the mountain road was too difficult to walk this time, the local government sent them three guides, and a group of twelve people took the bus arranged by the local government.
The van sets off towards its destination.
After a bumpy ride for more than half an hour, the car stopped, and then I saw about 20 local fellows waiting by the roadside carrying poles on their backs.
"Guide Xiao Chen, what is this?"
"Oh, these are the fellows who help us carry supplies. The mountain roads here are too difficult to walk, so all supplies can only be moved manually. Don't worry, these are fellows who have lived in the mountains all year round and are very familiar with the roads in this area."
Xiao Muyou once again felt the illusion of traveling to the past, manually transporting supplies, which could only be seen on TV before.
I watched the fellow villagers busy distributing the supplies on the car and loading them up. No one had to carry nearly seventy or eighty kilograms of supplies.
Although these materials were small in size, they were all books and heavy in weight. However, these fellow villagers did not even frown. Seeing Xiao Muyou and the others holding luggage in their hands, they wanted to help them lighten their burden.
"No need, we can just take these ourselves, they aren't heavy."
It took a total of twenty fellow villagers to move all the supplies, and the remaining four or five fellow villagers were not idle, helping to pack several large suitcases and carry them on their backs. At this time, the entire team was close to forty
Individually, we walked toward the depths of the mountain in a mighty way.
On the way, Xiao Muyou also learned that this team actually included the head of the Washan Village they were going to this time. He was a man in his fifties. He might have been working all year round and his skin was tanned.
The burden was also the heaviest, but he didn't feel tired at all. He walked so fast that Xiao Muyou and other city dwellers who rarely walked on mountain roads could not catch up.
"Mr. Xiao, Village Chief Qi is also the principal of the school we went to this time. The conditions of this school are very poor. The school only has a primary school, and the total number of teachers and students in the school is only 86."
"The village chief also serves as the principal?"
Xiao Muyou was a little surprised, and the guide Xiao Liu on the side smiled awkwardly and replied.
"Hey, isn't this because the school is short of people? We have no choice but to let Lao Qi take over, but now our county has begun planning to bring all the children from the mountains to the county town to go to school in the next five years. But we
This county is too big, and the villages are scattered deep in the mountains. It is still very difficult to bring all the children to school in the county."
Xiao Muyou also understood the difficulties Xiao Liu mentioned. The biggest problem he had to face first was to let these six or seven-year-old children live away from home and live in school. Will the parents feel relieved? Can these children take care of themselves? Although in the mountains
School conditions are difficult, but it is close to home after all.
"Take your time. I think the parents of those children don't want their children to be stuck in this mountain all their lives and unable to get out. Only by studying hard can they have the opportunity to get out of the mountain in the future, but this requires a process."
"Yes, so we have started preparations for this project now, but the main work in the early stage is to convince the parents of these children so that they can safely hand over their children to the school."
"By the way, Guide Xiao Liu, tell me about the school we went to this time."
"Okay, in addition to Principal Qi, our school also has five teachers. The five teachers are responsible for all courses from grades one to six. In addition, half of the students in our school are left-behind children, so they basically live in
At school, some children only go home during winter and summer vacations, so the five of us teachers are not only responsible for the children’s studies, but also take care of their lives.”
Speaking of this, Xiao Liu felt a little embarrassed. After all, the situation in this school was too difficult.
Xiao Muyou didn't say anything after hearing this, but waited patiently for Xiao Liu to continue.
"Before, Village Chief Qi's wife could still help the teachers take care of the children and help with cooking. But something happened to Village Chief Qi's wife some time ago and she broke her leg. Now the three meals at the school are
The teachers take turns doing it, but in the final analysis, the school is too hard to recruit people."
"Can't we recruit people in the village?"
"Hey, we can't recruit. Young people who have some energy have gone to work outside. Now our village with a radius of ten miles is basically filled with old people and children. Village Chief Qi's wife also stayed here because of poor health.
at home."
The two chatted for more than an hour, and Xiao Muyou also had a general understanding of the situation here. Generally speaking, the conditions were harsh and difficult.
Everyone walked for almost two hours, and several young people in the team were a little overwhelmed. Even Xiao Muyou, who had been exercising during this period, felt that his legs were shaking. This mountain road was much more difficult than the last time.
.
Everyone rested for more than ten minutes in the middle and could only grit their teeth and continue on their way, because they were only halfway through the journey.
"Boss, I feel like I need to lose five pounds this time when I go back."
Chen Li took two steps with a hiking pole in one hand, panted for breath, and said with a sweaty face.
Xiao Muyou's condition was much better than that of Chen Li, at least he was not out of breath. Hearing Chen Li's words, he smiled and said.
"Okay, haven't you been clamoring to lose weight before? This actually fulfills your wish."
"Boss, if you don't do this, shouldn't you say something to encourage me?"
"Chen Li, isn't this enough to motivate you? Think about it, how much money you spend on losing weight, how much you invest in gyms every year, Pilates, personal trainers, etc. But now you can achieve this without spending a penny.
Isn’t this bad enough to lose weight?”
"But I don't want to be so tired. I feel like my legs are no longer my own."
"Look at the big brothers in front. They are carrying such heavy supplies. Are they tired? Don't embarrass us."
When Xiao Muyou said this, Chen Li became quiet. Looking at the people in front of him who had left them far behind, he gritted his teeth and stepped a lot faster.
Finally, after five and a half hours, the group finally arrived at their destination around 12 noon.
But when they came here, they were all dumbfounded.
The conditions of this school are much worse than the one they went to before.
The previous school had at least two buildings. Although the playground was full of mud puddles when it rained, at least there was a playground.
But the school in front of me didn't even have a decent school gate. I could only see a few large characters written crookedly on a stone pillar next to it.
"Washan Elementary School."
There is no playground, only a flat land of about 200 square meters, surrounded by stone walls, and then a one-story tile-roofed house with about a dozen rooms.
"This is Washan Primary School?"
Seeing all this, Xiao Muyou couldn't believe it. The situation here was much more difficult than she had known.
Xiao Muyou's voice was very low, but it was still heard by Xiao Liu on the side, and he nodded.
"This used to be the village committee of Washan Village. A flash flood more than ten years ago destroyed the house in front of Washan Primary School. In the end, Village Chief Qi overcame all objections and converted the village committee into a school."
"Where did the village committee move to?"
Xiao Muyou asked curiously, and guide Xiao Liu stood on the edge of the cliff, pointed to a village at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and said.
"Well, Village Chief Qi vacated his house as the office space of the village committee. Originally, there were fewer and fewer people in the village over the years, so now the village committees in these villages actually don't play any role.
A village only has one village chief, one accountant and one secretary. Village secretaries are shared by several villages and do not have a fixed office."
Still like this, Xiao Muyou felt that she was shocked again. She couldn't help but look up at the gray-haired middle-aged man in the distance. If it hadn't been for Xiao Liu's previous introduction, Xiao Muyou would have thought that Village Chief Qi should be six or seven years old.
Ten years old.
"Where do Village Chief Qi and the others live now?"
"Well, that's the school's cafeteria. Principal Qi built a wooden house behind this house two years ago, and the couple lived there."
