"Let me go, there is this place in Hebei. It is even poorer than ours. This is on the edge of the capital." Sitting in Meng Yao's car, Qin Lan looked at the uneven stone road ahead with a look of disbelief on her face.
color.
"The emperor has poor relatives, what you say doesn't make sense." Qin Yu sat leisurely in the back seat. It is precisely because it is close to the capital that this mountainous place is poor.
The reason is very simple. Policies are tilted towards the capital, which naturally leads to rich places getting richer and poor places getting poorer.
"Qin Yu, why do we come to this mountainous area?" Meng Yao, who was driving in front, turned around and asked in confusion.
Previously, in Chen Guangbiao's villa, after Qin Yu finished answering the phone, he only said, "Go to the mountainous area of He_bei, where Miss Yiyi teaches."
Then, the group set off. Qin Yu and Qin Lan got into Meng Yao's car, while Chen Guangbiao led the way with Yiyi in the car in front.
"Miss Yiyi's death is a bit strange. Do you think Miss Yiyi looks like the kind of person who can't help teach and runs back?" Qin Yu raised his head and asked Meng Yao.
"It's not like that. If you really couldn't stand the conditions in the mountains and ran back, you wouldn't be thinking about donating money and supplies to the children in the mountains." Meng Yao replied.
"Yeah, I don't believe it either. Since Miss Yiyi doesn't look like someone who would run back, then why in the mountainous area, when reporting the past news, it was Miss Yiyi who couldn't stand the harsh conditions in the mountainous area and ran away. Among them is
Nothing interesting?" Qin Yu followed.
"Moreover, I know very clearly that Miss Yiyi died in January last year, and this time was also the time when the mountainous area reported back to us, and the time when Miss Yiyi left the mountainous area. What is the relationship between the two?
Why does Miss Yiyi get a headache when she thinks about how she died? All this can only be solved when we go to the mountainous area and where Miss Yiyi teaches."
Qin Yu's words also caused Meng Yao and Qin Lan to fall into deep thought. The car suddenly became silent. Only Xiaojiu's eyes were rolling around Qin Yu and the other three. The little guy didn't understand how to say something so well, but suddenly there was no sound again.
.
"Hmph!" Xiaojiu turned over in boredom, put his front paws on Qin Yu's thigh, changed his position, and continued to sleep. The human world is too complicated, so it's better to sleep. There is still Niu Niu in the dream.
.
Following Chen Guangbiao's car, the group of people drove more and more trembling roads. When they reached the back, there were no more high-rise buildings in the city. The tallest houses seen on both sides of the road were only four stories. Most of them were flat-roofed houses, and they were mutually exclusive.
The distance between them is still quite far, and it looks like the foundations were built on their own fields.
After the car drove into this town, it did not stop, but drove directly towards the foot of the mountain. After more than half an hour, Chen Guangbiao's car finally stopped because there was no road ahead.
"Master Qin, the place where Yiyi teaches is on this mountain. We have to walk a mountain road to get there." Chen Guangbiao got out of the car and said to Qin Yu.
"Don't rush up the mountain. The people at the foot of the mountain and the one on the mountain are from the same village, right?" Qin Yu asked.
"Well, they all belong to the same village. There are more than 300 households on the mountain, and there are more than 600 households at the foot of the mountain." Chen Guangbiao knew the situation here very well, because he had made charitable donations here and got to know the local people.
It was during that donation that I met Yiyi.
"Logically speaking, when Miss Yiyi came to support teaching here, she had to communicate with the local village committee. Moreover, the information I got said that Miss Yiyi ran away was also reported to the village committee." Qin Yu
He said calmly.
"Then let's go to the village committee first?" Chen Guangbiao quickly understood what Qin Yu meant and asked.
"Well. In this way, when we arrive at the village committee, Miss Yiyi won't let her get out of the car first," Qin Yu said.
So the group of people got in the car again, and under the leadership of Chen Guangbiao, they soon arrived at the village committee, a three-story small courtyard with a national flag on the top. People came in and out from time to time. For Qin Yu and the others
I was not too surprised when the two cars arrived. After all, although the mountain village was poor, it was not unexperienced because it was close to the capital.
Chen Guangbiao and Qin Yu got out of the car, followed by Meng Yao and Qin Lan. However, Chen Guangbiao's driver was left in the car by Chen Guangbiao, responsible for protecting Yiyi's safety.
Qin Yu and his party walked into the village committee office building. There were two village cadres inside. Seeing Qin Yu and his party, one of the village cadres quickly stood up and asked: "This is the Yangyan Village Committee, you don't have anything to do."
?”
"I am Chen Guangbiao, is your village chief here?" Chen Guangbiao asked.
"The village chief is out. Do you have anything to do with the village chief? I am also a cadre of the village. If it is about the village, you can talk to me." The village cadre continued to answer.
"Chen Guangbiao, why is this name so familiar?" Another village cadre showed a thoughtful look on his face, and then looked at Chen Guangbiao. After a while, he suddenly stood up from his position and said in surprise: "You
It must be Boss Chen!"
"Do you know me?" Chen Guangbiao looked at the village cadre and asked.
"I am the accountant of the village, and I take care of the village's accounts. Boss Chen has donated many things to our village, especially to the children in the village. Of course I remember that."
"Oh, that's right. The Boss Chen you are talking about should be me."
"Boss Chen, please sit down quickly. I'm going to call the village chief. The village chief and several colleagues have gone to deal with some disputes in the village." The village cadre who was doing accounting work quickly vacated the chair for Qin Yu.
The group sat down, and he walked out of the office to make a phone call.
After a while, the village accountant came in and said with a smile: "I have already called the village chief. The village chief said he will be there in ten minutes. He asked me to invite Mr. Chen to sit in his office."
"No, let's wait here." Qin Yu waved his hand and asked with a smile on his face: "Brother, I would like to ask, is there a shortage of teachers in your village?"
"Yes, in a poor place like ours, there are no teachers. The ones at the foot of the mountain are fine. After all, there are roads. But no teachers are willing to go to the schools up the mountain," the village accountant replied.
"But I heard that you have a lot of teachers here who come to teach."
"There are quite a few, but most of them only provide short-term teaching for a few months and then leave. To be honest, given the environment on the mountain, not many young people today can stay here."
Qin Lan, who was standing by, heard what the village accountant said and asked, "Is it because the school is too bad and the accommodation conditions are so bad that no one wants to stay?"
In Qin Lan's mind, a scene like that emerged, a school that was about to collapse. There was no glass on the windows, only some newspapers were posted on them, and there were a group of thin people with dirty faces wide open and hungry for knowledge.
child.
In fact, it's not surprising that Qin Lan thinks so, because most of the children in poor areas she saw in newspapers and news are like this.
"Miss, this school is not bad. To be honest, there is no building better than the school in our village." The village cadre replied with a wry smile on his face.
"How is this possible!" Qin Lan's voice suddenly rose a few decibels. She couldn't believe that the school was actually the best building in the village.
"Nothing is impossible. This is easy to understand." Qin Yu said from the side, "Our domestic Hope Project is still doing well. Hope schools have been built in many poor places. In fact, many now
The situation in poor areas is that in very luxurious schools, there are a group of poor children, and what these children lack most is teachers."
Qin Yu thought of a news he had seen before, which was about things in Guizhou. The Hope Project donated and built more than a thousand Hope Primary Schools in Guizhou. Many schools are almost landmark buildings in the village.
, very beautiful.
The reporter who went to interview was very moved when he saw this school. He asked the local villagers how many college students your village has produced? The villagers laughed and said that we have never produced high school students in history.
But these children have nothing in their eyes. They have no idea what knowledge is, so why should they seek knowledge?
In fact, what these students need most is an elementary teacher. They are not short of money, because money is of no use to them. Many people donate money, but if the money falls into the hands of the children’s parents, they may not necessarily spend it.
in children.
In the final analysis, this is the tragedy of Chinese charity!
"This gentleman is right." The village accountant echoed Qin Yu's words and said: "The Hope School in our village is built on the mountain. It is very luxurious and beautiful, but what's the use? In that place, it is completely isolated from the outside world.
Isolated, you have to walk several hours of mountain roads every time to get to school. How many young people today are willing to go? What’s the use of just having a school without teachers?”
Qin Lan fell silent when she heard the village accountant's words. She did not expect that she had been misled by the media all along, thinking that children in poor areas went to school in dilapidated buildings.
"So how many supporting teachers have come to your village?" Qin Yu changed the subject. This was a problem in the general environment and was not something they could change.
"Since the completion of Hope Primary School, many volunteer teachers have come, but the longest one only lasted for one year, and the shortest ones left after only a few days. There are probably about twenty of them." Village Accountant
After thinking for a moment, he replied.
"Is the longest only one year?" Qin Yu narrowed his eyes and asked.
"I'm not sure whether it's a year or not, because the village chief has always been responsible for supporting education, and the village chief is in contact with the teachers who come to support teaching. I need to ask the village chief about the specific situation." (To be continued.)
