Among the adults in the village, this is the only one who can speak Mandarin. The children call her Teacher Wang. They heard that there is a medical team here, so they came here to have a look.
"Thank you." After taking the sweet potato and peeling it, Lin Xun opened it and ate it. It was a little hot, a little sweet, and glutinous.
Han Hong also got sweet potatoes, and asked while eating: "Mr. Wang, how many students are there in your school?"
"68, and several nearby villages go to school with me."
"Are there many teachers?"
With a bitter smile, Wang Mei's dry skin wrinkled: "Including the three of me, and occasionally a few college students who volunteered to teach, and ran away within a few days."
There was silence for a while, only the sound of eating was heard.
Supporting education is not as simple as talking about it. Some people are looking for jobs because of their books, and some people really want to help others.
But people who are used to living in big cities may not be able to endure the hardships in the mountains.
There is no Internet, no mobile phones, no shopping malls, no water heaters, only mountains, loess, and suffering.
"Where is your school, I want to see it?" Han Hong asked.
Wang Mei said embarrassingly, "The road is long and dangerous, so don't go."
"how far?"
"More than 20 miles."
"hiss!"
There was a sound of breathing.
This kind of poverty-stricken mountainous area does not live in school. Every day, I walk to walk, and I can’t go home with a few rice balls at noon.
Everyone was startled when they thought that a group of seven, eight, and nine-year-old children had to walk forty miles back and forth every day to study.
"Far is second, and the main thing is danger. To go to school in this village, you have to climb mountains and slide across rivers. If you are not careful, you will die."
"Can't the school be moved here?" someone said.
Wang Mei shook her head: "The children in the three nearby villages go to school there. If they move here, it will be the other two villages who will climb the mountain and slide the iron rope."
Asking the medical staff to stay and continue to see a doctor, Han Hong got up and said, "I want to see your school, can you take me there?" '
"Perhaps I can help you."
Worried that Wang Mei would not agree, she added another sentence.
"Okay, come with me." Wang Mei gritted her teeth and nodded heavily.
"I'll go too." Lin Xun was a little worried about letting Han Hong go there alone.
Yang Rui raised her hand: "And me."
"Nonsense, sit down for me." Lin Xun glared at her: "Didn't you hear that there is going to be a zip line over the mountain?"
"Our school won the first place in the 400-meter women's sports meeting. I can swim and climb rocks. My physical fitness is much better than yours."
Lin Xun blushed. In a certain way, Yang Rui's physique was indeed stronger than him. He was tired and she was not.
Another two logistics boys stood up and said that it would be safer to go together.
A group of six people walked through the village and headed for the school from the back mountain. They went up and down the mountain with the scorching sun on their heads, and they almost died of exhaustion.
I can't believe that the children in the village have to walk this kind of road every day.
On the way, Wang Mei said: "More than ten years ago, when I wasn't here, the school started at nine o'clock. In order not to be late, the children went up the mountain with flashlights before dawn."
"Later, I changed it to ten o'clock for class. Even so, people were late every day, and the teachers didn't dare to rush them."
"Because every few years, it is reported that someone fell off a cliff or died in a river in order to hurry."
"What I fear most every day is that there will be empty desks in class."
Yang Rui couldn't bear to say: "Haven't you thought about going out?"
"Let's go, where are you going?" Wang Mei smiled bitterly: "The old people have been here for generations. There are fields and land here. As long as you work hard, you won't starve to death."
"When I went to the city, there was no place to live, and no one asked for a part-time job. The basic necessities of life were all money, and the villagers couldn't afford it."
"I have taught for so many years. 90.00% of the children graduated from elementary school and went home to work. No one went to junior high school. They couldn't afford it, and the adults at home wouldn't let them study."
Everyone felt heavy in their hearts. It was hard to imagine that in the era when netizens said that a monthly income of [-] or [-] was considered disabled, there would still be people living so hard.
Not long after, Wang Mei pointed to the two ropeways in the middle when she came to a river with rapids, and said, "It depends on two ropes to go back and forth."
"The river below is more than one meter deep, and when it rains, it rushes so hard that the cows will be washed away, let alone people."
Holding the simple lock, Wang Mei demonstrated the correct posture for everyone: "You must hold on tightly, falling is not a joke."
"Crash~"
As she spoke, Wang Mei slid over, her figure getting smaller and smaller, and she reached the opposite bank in seven or eight seconds.
Several people followed suit one by one, and although they all passed, they were still terrified when they heard the sound of surging water under their feet when they slid through the middle of the cableway.
Two hours later, everyone came to the school.
In a dilapidated small courtyard, there are old tables, chairs and benches in the main room, and a flattened dirt field at the door is used as a playground.
At this moment, a group of children were running around, playing with their dirty bodies, and the whole campus was filled with laughter.
Seeing them, the children quickly ran back to the classroom. One of them panicked and fell down crying. Yang Rui ran forward to pick him up and blew on his skinny hands.
Seeing such a beautiful, Xiangxiang sister for the first time, the boy blushed, sniffed his nose, turned and ran back to the classroom, and took a few peeks behind the door.
Wang Mei said with emotion: "The school is owned by an old country gentry with no children. He passed away for many years, and we have been using it all the time."
"After so many years of wind and rain, it is almost becoming a dangerous house."
The school is very simple, not ordinary. Seeing the children look like beggars, everyone feels very uncomfortable.
Han Hong said to Lin Xun: "I want to use the money you donated to build them a primary school with dormitories. The address is located near several villages. The children go home every semester, so that they don't have to go over the mountains every day. The zipline is up."
"The money is given to you, and you are the master."
As soon as Lin Xun finished speaking, Wang Mei knelt down with a plop, and he was so frightened that he quickly helped her up: "Mr. Wang, what are you doing?"
"Thank you, thank you."
