Wang Gang took Fang Yifan to see the world and visited many poor counties, allowing him to see another side of the world.
Fang Yifan was greatly impacted and even changed his world view.
In the past, Fang Yifan's family members and classmates were all born into wealthy families. Apart from studying, he had almost no worries in his life.
But this time Wang Gang showed him that in addition to studying, children had to take on household chores at a young age and even helped their parents work in the fields.
Wang Gang specially let Fang Yifan experience farm work. In just two hours, his waist almost broke.
But when Fang Yifan saw those children who were much younger than him, doing farm work that was heavier and more tiring than him, a smile still appeared on his face.
Fang Yifan immediately blushed with shame, gritted his teeth and finished the work in hand.
In the evening, Wang Gang found a family to stay temporarily and paid two hundred yuan.
There were three members of the family. The man was about forty years old. He was thin and wrinkled, as if he was in his fifties.
The hostess has a simple appearance and looks far beyond her actual age.
They also have a daughter, Niuniu, who is eleven or twelve years old, but is even more sensible than Fang Yifan.
The old tile-roofed house where a family of three lives seems to be thirty or forty years old.
They gave one of the largest rooms to Wang Gang and Fang Yifan to stay temporarily, and their family of three squeezed into the small room.
During dinner, they took out all the bacon prepared for the New Year and greeted Wang Gang and Fang Yifan.
At the dinner table, the family gave Fang Yifan all the good food they had at home, and the family of three only ate some pickles and porridge.
Fang Yifan just started eating two pieces of bacon, and soon found Niu Niu looking at the meat in his bowl with longing expression.
"Niuniu, you can eat a piece too." Fang Yifan took a piece of meat and gave it to the little girl.
The little girl wanted to eat meat, but she still looked at her parents.
"Niuniu, be good, these bacon are for entertaining guests." Father handed the bacon to Fang Yifan again.
Niuniu's face was full of disappointment, but she didn't say a word and continued to eat the porridge in the bowl.
Fang Yifan also wanted to give Niu Niu some meat, but was stopped by Wang Gang.
After dinner, Niu Niu took the initiative to wash the dishes without any instructions from her parents.
Fang Yifan wanted to help, but almost broke the bowl.
"Guest, let Niu Niu come! You go back to your room and rest for a while." Niu Niu's father took the bowl from Fang Yifan's hand.
Fang Yifan was helpless and could only watch Niuniu wash the dishes, but he couldn't help at all.
Niu Niu's home was in very poor condition. There was no running water and she had to get water from a well to wash the dishes.
At such a young age, she carried a bucket that was not much smaller than herself. Fang Yifan could no longer stand it.
"Uncle, Niuniu is still so young, why do you let her do such heavy work?"
Niuniu's father was stunned and said matter-of-factly: "All the children in our village do this. Niuniu started to share the housework when she was six or seven years old."
Fang Yifan opened his mouth, feeling increasingly bitter in his heart.
Wang Gang pulled Fang Yifan aside and stopped him from talking nonsense.
"Dad, they must be abusing children!" Fang Yifan couldn't stand it and said.
"Then what do you want to do?" Wang Gang asked.
"I..." Fang Yifan hesitated for a long time, but didn't say anything meaningful.
Niuniu over there finished washing the dishes and consciously picked up the book to read.
Wang Gang walked up to Niuniu and asked: "Niuniu, what grade are you in?"
"I will be in sixth grade soon." Niu Niu put down her textbook and said.
"You're about to graduate from elementary school! What middle school do you want to go to?" Wang Gang asked again.
Niu Niu lowered her head sadly.
"It's enough for the girl to go to elementary school. After she graduates, she will help us with farm work. In another two years, we will find a husband for her." Niu Niu's mother said with a smile.
"Niuniu is still so young, why don't she go to school?" Fang Yifan asked in confusion.
"There is only one primary school in our village. If you want to go to middle school, you have to go to the city. How can we afford it?" Niuniu's father said bitterly.
"Niuniu doesn't want to study anymore. I will help my parents work in the future." Niuniu said with red eyes.
Fang Yifan felt completely uneasy at this time.
In order to save electricity bills at night, Niu Niu's family turned off the lights early. Wang Gang and Fang Yifan lay on the hard wooden bed, and neither of them could fall asleep.
"Dad, does Niuniu really don't want to go to school?" Fang Yifan suddenly asked.
"What do you think?" Wang Gang asked.
"I can see that Niu Niu really wants to study." Fang Yifan said bitterly, thinking of Niu Niu's red eyes.
"Of course she wants to study, because she knows that only by studying can she change the current situation at home." Wang Gang sighed:
"Her parents also want Niuniu to study, but they really don't have the conditions."
Fang Yifan asked worriedly: "Can we help them? Help Niuniu study?"
Wang Gang turned around, looked at Fang Yifan and said, "How do you want to help them? There are many families like Niuniu here, can you help them?"
Fang Yifan opened his mouth, lowered his head completely, and covered his chest with his right hand.
"Dad, I feel like there's a lot of traffic here."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Some people obviously want to read but can't, and some people obviously can read but don't want to."
Fang Yifan closed his eyes in shame.
Early the next morning, Wang Gang took Fang Yifan to say goodbye to Niuniu's family and secretly put a thousand yuan in the room.
It's not that Wang Gang doesn't want to give more, but he is worried that giving too much will put a burden on Niuniu's family.
He could tell that Niuniu's family was very simple.
On the way back, Fang Yifan was not in high spirits. He looked exhausted all the way back to Lin Lei'er's house.
"What's going on with Fanfan?" Tong Wenjie asked confused.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "I took him to the countryside this time to experience it, and the impact may be a bit big."
Tong Wenjie complained: "If you have nothing to do, go to the countryside. Is your son exhausted?"
"He is also eighteen years old. We protected him too well before and let him know all the grains. It is also good for him to go to the countryside to experience." Wang Gang explained.
Tong Wenjie is not a person who doesn't know right from wrong. She knows that Wang Gang is doing it for her son's good, but she just can't bear it.
"By the way, the house transfer procedures have been completed, and the buyer will come to take possession of the house in a few days." Tong Wenjie wondered:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The company has urged me several times that I may have to go back to work, but Lei'er's transfer procedures have not been completed yet."
Wang Gang said cheerfully: "Take Fanfan back first, and leave the things here to me."
Tong Wenjie sighed: "That's all we can do, but Lei'er is a bit special, so you should pay attention to your methods when taking care of him."
Wang Gang glanced at Lin Lei'er, who was immersed in reading in the study, and said: "To be honest, Lei'er is actually not suitable for Chunfeng Middle School.
His situation is more suitable for those gifted classes."
Tong Wenjie said in surprise: "Can Lei'er enter the gifted class?"
Wang Gang said: "After returning to the capital, if you have the opportunity, take Lei'er for an IQ test!"
Lin Leier is a typical genius with high scores and low energy. It is difficult for him to integrate into ordinary high schools. He is more suitable to get along with similar people.
Many universities in the capital offer gifted classes to prepare for people like Lin Lei'er. Many teachers in gifted classes have experience educating geniuses like Lin Lei'er.
"Let's talk about it! We also need to ask Lei'er about her wishes." Tong Wenjie said perfunctorily.
Wang Gang did not force anything, but helped Tong Wenjie pack her luggage and sent her and Fang Yifan on the plane that night.
The next day, Wang Gang took Lin Lei'er to clean up the house, sorted his and his mother's things into categories, and sent them back to the capital.
Lao Lin also visited his son and gave him a bankbook.
"Lei'er, there is 2.3 million in the bankbook from the sale of the house. As your education fund, you must keep it and don't give it to anyone." Lao Lin Qian warned Wan, and the main ones to guard against were Wang Gang and Tong Wenjie.
"Thank you, Dad." Lin Lei'er put away her bankbook dully.
Lao Lin sighed and ordered: "You and your uncle must be obedient when you go to the capital. Your mother's wish is that you can be admitted to Tsinghua University. Don't let her down."
"I will, I will definitely get admitted to Tsinghua University." Lin Leier said firmly.
Lao Lin opened his mouth and wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know what to say. Finally he took a deep breath and said:
"Lei'er, don't blame dad for not taking care of you. Your Aunt Xiufen has something to do and it's inconvenient!"
Lin Lei'er said sadly: "I know."
Lao Lin encouraged his son a few more words, then went to Wang Gang alone and gave him 10,000 yuan.
"Fang Yuan, Lei'er will take care of you and Tong Wenjie from now on."
"Don't worry!" Wang Gang accepted Lin Lei'er's tuition and said, "I heard from Tong Wenjie that you bought a villa with half of the house payment?"
Old Lin rubbed the back of his head honestly and said: "House prices here are far less expensive than in the capital, and a villa doesn't cost much."
Wang Gang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "No matter how low it is, it's still a villa!"
Lao Lin is now buying a villa at a high price, and will cry when the epidemic comes.
