"You must be tired too. Okay, you can sleep for a while. We will go to the county seat to eat the game there in the evening."
I felt so tired after sitting behind the passenger seat that I fell asleep quickly. The roar of the car became the best lullaby.
When we woke up, our car had already entered the county town. I didn't expect that such a small border town could be so lively at night. There were many people and cars on the street, but most of them were tricycles and taxis. The lights in the county town were not that bright.
It is bright, which makes the street in front of me seem a bit chaotic. The buildings on both sides of the street are also a bit old, which reminds me of the small county town in my hometown when I was a child.
But those people in front of the headlights all had smiling faces, and it seemed that they were all satisfied with their current lives. I couldn't help but think: In fact, it doesn't matter where a person lives, what matters is their mentality. I think, if
If I lived here, I might be as satisfied as them.
Shangguanqin drove the car to a hotel here. She told me that this was the best hotel in this place. I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's not bad, as long as it's clean."
She said: "Tomorrow we will go to live in the countryside, you have to be mentally prepared. Maybe there will be lice in the bed."
I was startled by her words, "No way?" Then I said: "As long as you are not afraid, what should I be afraid of?"
She laughed and said, "I'm scaring you. The people there are very welcoming. After we go there, the village chief will change everything on the bed where we live."
I looked at her and asked, "We will still live together when we get there?"
Her face immediately turned red, "If you don't want to, forget it."
I hurriedly said: "No. I think people in rural areas are more feudal. After all, we are not married yet, so it will not be good for us to be talked about by others."
She said: "I will tell them that you are my man. It will be a matter of time anyway, don't you think so?"
My heart suddenly warmed up, "Yes. Of course I am willing."
She glared at me and said, "I hate it! You want me to say something like this first, as if you are wronged."
I hurriedly said: "Xiaoqin, you are the one who has been wronged. I know it in my heart. So I am very grateful to you."
She came back and glared at me again, "Why are you so polite again? You are my man and I am your woman, why are you grateful to me? I'm so bitter! Okay, let's get out of the car. This
This place is not like a provincial capital, and it is still quite cold at night. Let’s go, let’s book a room, change into thick clothes and go out to eat.”
After arriving at this place, she became like the master, and I had to listen to her in everything.
The hotel room is very average and can only be considered clean at best. However, I just saw the sign of a three-star hotel in the lobby. I thought it was very funny: it is difficult to find anything genuine nowadays, even in
The same is true for such a remote county.
After we came out of the room and we went out to the street, she stretched out her hand to hold mine, our fingers intertwined and our palms pressed together tightly.
We merged into the crowd in the county town. I found that the people in the crowd seemed to come to this street not to buy things, but just to stroll. Because I found that their steps were very slow, and many of them brought
With their children in their arms, many of them didn't even look at the shops on the street.
I remember that people in the small county town in my hometown were like this. I still remember that when I was a child, my parents and I would go out on the street together like this at night. When we were on the street, my father would meet many acquaintances, and then they would smoke cigarettes and chat with each other.
, my mother and I stood nearby waiting. The whole night passed like this, and it was the same every time. Later, when I grew up, I began to get tired of this way of walking, and I never went out with my parents at night again.
It's time to go out.
However, now that I think about those scenes when Qian Qian was a child, I suddenly have a different feeling: If Shangguanqin and I also lived in such a place, if we took our children to this street every day after dinner
Wandering, what a warm life it must be.
She took me to find a game shop, which is a soup pot type, mainly selling wild boar meat. It tasted very good. I guess I was hungry. In fact, there are a lot of such things in my hometown, so I didn’t think so.
How rare is this thing?
We also drank some white wine, which contains honey. Shangguanqin said to me: "Let's drink less. I find that the time after you drink is longer than other times. I like it."
In such a strange place, in such a small shop, her words had a huge temptation on me. In fact, sex also requires the stimulation of the environment. Strange places are more likely to arouse a person's lust.
We no longer had any appetite, so we finished our meal quickly, then looked at each other and smiled, and we almost said the same two words in unison, "Let's go."
In the morning, the wontons in this county were delicious, mainly because the chili peppers were very fragrant. I could tell that Shangguanqin must have been to this place more than once, because she was so familiar with it.
Maybe it just rained last night, because I found that the ground was still a little damp. After we walked gently, we would leave clear footprints on the ground.
The calls of those birds came from the treetops high up. There was not just one bird, but three or four, or even more. I couldn't see them and could only vaguely discern the direction from the calls.
So the bright and melodious singing voice should be the call of a lark. In this spring, only the lark can call out the colorful beauty of spring beautifully.
As we drove out of the city, I saw that the poplar trees were soaked in dew all night, and their rough bark looked dark.
The spring air is very fresh, making people feel refreshing and comfortable. I also saw white smoke rising over the villages along the way...
"That's great..." I said sincerely after taking a deep breath.
She arrived at the village after driving for more than two hours, and there was no road ahead. The chassis of this Buick commercial vehicle was relatively high, so it could still maintain a certain speed while driving on such a tractor road.
"Shangguan, are you here?" A middle-aged woman who was busy in the field not far away greeted Shangguanqin.
Shangguanqin said to her loudly: "Please call some people to help us move our things to school."
The middle-aged woman dropped her hoe and ran away.
A question suddenly occurred to me, "This place is so remote, what use are these computers to the children? They must not be able to access the Internet?"
She said: "We at Jiangnan Group have plans to install telephone and network cables here this year."
I nodded, "But what about the cost of Internet access?"
She looked at me and said, "That's true. People here are so poor. Who would be willing to spend money to access the Internet? Smile, just use some more money. It only costs a few thousand yuan a year."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Okay. You have the final say."
She was still looking at me, "Don't be reluctant. After a while you will feel that this is a very meaningful thing when you see those children and teachers."
In fact, it’s not that I’m reluctant, I just feel that this thing is very nihilistic. In other words, I still don’t feel what kind of thing I am doing at all. I am still thinking: What we are doing is really important.
Is it that important to the children here?
There is always a feeling in my heart: the children here only need to read good books and complete their basic education. As for learning computer things, they will naturally be exposed to it if they have the opportunity when they grow up. Therefore,
I bought these computers solely for Shangguanqin, because I didn't want to make her unhappy.
Not long after, I saw a group of people running over. The clothes these people were wearing were relatively shabby, but the smiles on their faces were all honest. I remember that most of the people in the countryside in my hometown were like this.
"Shangguan, are you here?"
"I haven't seen you for a long time."
"What did you bring us this time?"
This group of people stood in front of us, and several people began to ask questions, all of them smiling honestly at us.
"It's a computer, bought for children. Children can use this kind of thing to talk to children in big cities, and they can also see what's happening around the world," Shangguanqin explained.
"This is the first time I've heard of such a scientific thing."
"That's great. From now on, we can also grow vegetables on the rocks in our house."
People were talking in surprise. Suddenly I heard someone whisper: "It's better to just give money..."
Shangguanqin definitely didn't hear this voice. She started to ask everyone to move things. However, the words of the person just now made me feel unhappy, and I also felt a sense of discomfort.
The school is on a hill not far from here. After going up there, I discovered that the place is relatively flat. The school buildings are quite beautiful, and there is a small playground with two basketball hoops and a bright red side.
The flag is waving.
As soon as we arrived, the place immediately became lively, and the students all ran out of the classroom. The children's clothes were much better than those of the adults, and they were in uniform.
"In this school, you personally donated the clothes for these children, right?" I asked Shangguan Qindao.
She shook her head, "I spent money to customize the clothes for them, and the school got the money from our company."
The children gathered around the computer packaging boxes and looked at them curiously, chirping one after another: "What is this?"
Two middle-aged women who looked like teachers came over, "Shangguan, what are these?"
Shangguanqin immediately introduced them to me, "This is the computer that Dr. Feng donated to your school."
The two teachers kept thanking me.
Shangguanqin said something next, which made me immediately nervous. She said: "Teacher Hu, Teacher Dong, you call the children into the classroom, and then ask Dr. Feng to tell the children what a computer is and what a computer is."
Is it of any use?"
I quickly refused, "No, no..."
Shangguanqin smiled at the two teachers and said, "You don't know that Dr. Feng was a professor at a university before. He has no problem teaching children."
The two teachers immediately became nervous, "University professor...I just heard about him, so young?"
Now I understand that Shangguanqin had to let me teach this class to the children. To be honest, I have never been nervous when teaching college students, but today, I actually feel a little weak in my legs.
Or maybe it's the children's innocent eyes that make me so timid...
To be honest, I know what a computer is, but am I dealing with children? I find that I don’t know how to explain to them what this thing is.
When I stood on this simple podium, when I looked at the eager eyes of the children below and the villagers at the windows outside the classroom, I was really nervous.
I said: "Today, your aunt Shangguan and I have brought you a batch of computers. What is this computer? A computer is an electronic computer. It is a computer that can automatically and quickly perform scientific calculations and information on various digital information.
A tool for processing. These data or information can be text, images, sounds, etc. In fact, the function of the computer has far exceeded the scope of calculation. It can imitate human thinking activities and replace some of people's mental work, so everyone
Call it a computer. Do you understand?"
The children all answered loudly in unison: "No..." (To be continued)
