This special issue of Yicheng Daily occupies both front and back pages.

Although it is very long and poorly written, it is easily aroused in the reader's empathy because it is told in the voice of a student.

And it adopted the serialization method, and published the remaining chapters on the second day...

It makes people cry more and more!

The title of the second article is still: "My hometown, Qingshan Township"

The full text is as follows:

The government has not given up on us, and this time it is not just a formality.

Uncle Xia Shuo is a young man. I heard that he has just started working, but he is very energetic and runs from house to house in the village.

He wanted to persuade the villagers to go to the mountains to pick pine mushrooms.

Pine mushrooms!

Our specialty here!

During times of famine, we boiled pine mushrooms as food and said they were a delicacy. But I hate this kind of delicacy. If it weren’t for filling my stomach, I would have sworn I would never eat it again.

It’s not just me, but also the adults in the village.

We have been eating pine mushrooms for generations, and the food has made us sick to our stomachs, so everyone is very resistant to pine mushrooms. No one thinks that this thing can be sold for money.

Everyone even thought that Uncle Xia Shuo was just here to go through the motions. On the surface, he mobilized everyone to pick pine mushrooms, but in fact, he was just completing his role in poverty alleviation.

Therefore, Uncle Xia Shuo's earnest words were ignored by no one for several days.

Until that day...

The female leader's car left the village early in the morning and returned to the village at noon. Shortly after she returned, Uncle Xia Shuo ran into the village committee with a red face.

He personally turned on the loudspeaker in the village and shouted to the whole village to make an announcement.

I can still clearly remember the words Uncle Xia Shuo shouted that day. He was very excited and very domineering.

He said directly: Listen to me, don’t you doubt me? Now come to the village committee immediately and take a look at the 2 yuan I put here.

He also said: This amount of money is only the first payment. Two solid piles are placed on the table of the village committee. Don't you doubt me? I just put the money out.

He added: Hurry up and get out here and see. After reading it, I immediately went up the mountain and picked pine mushrooms for me... No matter who it was, even a little baby who had just learned to walk, as long as he could pick pine mushrooms, I would count the money for him on the spot.

That day, Uncle Xia Shuo's voice was louder than ever on the loudspeaker in the village.

The 2 yuan was specially exchanged for 0 votes, and there were two high piles on the table.

The villagers finally believed it!

……

Go up the mountain and pick pine mushrooms.

Every household was moving, even the children were not idle.

We carried small backpacks on our backs and climbed into the high Dameng Mountain. We went in the morning and returned in the evening. We picked the pine mushrooms, washed them and dried them, and then took them to the village committee to be weighed.

Weigh, give money, give money on the spot.

The adults were delighted, and we children were also excited. Because every time we went to turn in the pine mushrooms, Uncle Xia Shuo would secretly give us some small receipts.

Sometimes it was 1 cents, sometimes it was 1 cents. He always pretended to be very distressed, and deliberately made a face to scare us, saying: "Don't spend it randomly, save it for tuition. I will be a pawn later." Sir, I will build a good school for you."

He gave us hope of going to school and made us more energetic at work.

Every morning we go up the mountain.

Uncle Xia Shuo always stands at the entrance of the village.

He was very annoying. He always pulled me, a child, to remind me, and kept nagging: "Be careful, be careful, don't fall, don't get lost."

We were in a hurry to pick pine mushrooms and had no time to listen to his chatter, so we always gave him a "bah bah" sound, and then ran away like the wind with our small backpack on our backs.

When we ran far away, we occasionally looked back at the entrance of the village and found that Uncle Xia Shuo was still standing there, watching us go up the mountain from a distance.

When we came back in the evening, Uncle Xia Shuo was waiting at the entrance of the village again. He was always counting the children happily, and he was not relieved until he saw the last child coming back.

Once, due to greed, I spent too long picking pine mushrooms on the mountain. As a result, I was unable to go down the mountain when it got dark, so I planned to stay in the pine forest for one night.

Unexpectedly, at around 9 o'clock in the evening, I suddenly heard Uncle Xia Shuo's anxious cry. He was stumbling around looking for me in the mountains with a flashlight.

When he found me, he held me in his arms. I felt that his whole body was trembling, and his voice was trembling. He murmured: "Thank God, thank God, you are so scary." , you girl are so scary."

By the light of the flashlight, I found several broken skin on his face, which must have been caused by a fall. He climbed the mountain in a hurry when he came to find me.

Since then, Uncle Xia Shuo has formulated a new policy. Children are not allowed to go up the mountain to pick pine mushrooms. They are only allowed to stay at home and help adults wash and dry pine mushrooms.

One month later, the whole village had accumulated 1 kilograms of pine mushrooms. However, Uncle Xia Shuo ran out of money.

Without money, there is no way to continue acquisitions.

So Uncle Xia Shuo is preparing to travel far. He is going to a big city in the south to sell pine mushrooms.

On that day, the whole village saw him off at the entrance of the village.

My mother fried pickles for him and handed them to him in cans and bottles. The third aunt in the village prepared clothes for him and asked him to take them with him to change on the road.

Everyone in the village knew that he didn't have much money in his pocket, so he was reluctant to spend money on this long journey. He took his own dry food on the road.

Traveling alone, thousands of miles to the south.

Under the rising sun that day, Uncle Xia Shuo's figure gradually faded away. Many aunts and ladies in the village cried, while we children climbed up the trees to look at him...

He traveled alone, carrying with him the hope of our entire village.

I looked at his back and called Uncle Xia softly. In fact, he was only 1 years old. He was only 18 years older than me, a 14-year-old girl. But in my heart, he is the elder I respect the most.

He is Uncle Xia to all the children in our village.

……

10 yuan, the village suddenly sent 10 yuan.

Secretary Cui and Township Chief Wang personally took the money with them. The two leaders rode their bicycles with red faces and delivered the two large bags of money that were specially exchanged for 0 votes to the village committee of our Songlin Village.

Pay money on the spot.

The scene that day was so spectacular.

All the men, women, and children in the village were as happy as the New Year. No, they were not that happy during the New Year.

We collected banknotes per head and listened to the loud shouting of the township secretary. He told us that Uncle Xia Shuo had succeeded in the south.

Uncle Xia succeeded and earned a huge sum of 20 yuan!

But although he earned a huge sum of 20 yuan, he did not put a penny into his own pocket. Instead, he entrusted the leaders of the township to send 1 yuan to our village.

We all know that the 1 yuan was given for free, because when we turned in the pine mushrooms, we had already received the money once based on the price.

This hundred thousand obviously belonged to Uncle Xia, but he took it out and gave it to us.

The secretary in the township said that Uncle Xia hopes that our children can go to school. After the 10 yuan is distributed to everyone, every household can pay tuition for their children.

It does!

I became a student.

Uncle Xia once asked me, Nizi, do you want to go to school? I don’t remember how I answered at the time. It seemed that I just looked at him blankly.

In fact, I really longed to go to school, but I knew that my family was too poor to pay the tuition. So, I could only look at him blankly.

At that moment, Uncle Xia's eyes seemed to be moist.

He rushed back to the countryside that afternoon, and then rushed from the countryside to the county. When he came back, he borrowed a camera. He took some photos of me and said he would keep them as his encouragement.

I don't understand why he pushes himself.

But I loved the photo he took of me.

Because he said that he would often look at the photos in the future...

……

I became a student, but there was no school in the village for the time being.

This is the same situation throughout the township. Many villages do not have primary schools. Therefore, there are more than a dozen elementary school classes in rural middle schools.

My parents paid my tuition fees, and I finally fulfilled my wish to go to school.

go to school!

Go to elementary school!

In fact, I am already 14 years old, which is said to be the age for marriage in ancient times, but since I have never been to school, I have to start from grade 1.

I'm happy and excited.

Holding the brand-new textbook, I would not let it go even for a moment. Even when I went to bed at night, I would hold the textbook in my arms.

Many children are like me. We cherish the opportunity to go to school.

The rural middle school is very dilapidated, and the house leaks air everywhere. The teacher told us that this is an old house from before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Because the village is too poor, it cannot afford to build a new school.

In fact, we are very satisfied in our hearts and do not dislike our school being dilapidated at all. However, the teachers are worried every day, fearing that one day the house will suddenly collapse.

Suddenly, a piece of news exploded in our school.

It was Uncle Xia Shuo's ability and he got a lot of money. The village finally had money and wanted to build a brand new school for us.

In addition to building schools, we also need to build factories.

I heard that it was a modern fruit canning factory. After it was completed, it would buy all kinds of fruits. The whole town was excited. My parents even hid at home and cried once.

The fruit trees planted at home no longer need to rot after harvesting, but can be sold to processing factories and made into cans for export.

Also, there is...

The factory wants to hire workers, and I heard that the first batch of workers is specifically for hiring poor households, and my family is among the poorest poor households, so both my parents were selected.

I can earn a salary of more than 1 yuan a month!

……

Lay the foundation!

The teacher taught us a new word.

The meaning of this word is hope for the future.

Lay the foundation!

Only by laying the foundation can we take off.

There were so many people that day!

We held small red flags and watched from a distance as cars appeared one after another, including county leaders and city leaders.

Because Uncle Xia Shuo secretly told us that these leaders would bring us supportive policies, we were extremely happy and lined the streets with small flags to welcome them.

Our uncle, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Yicheng City, personally shoveled three shovels of soil. Uncle Xia Shuo followed him and also shoveled three shovels of soil. The foundation laying ceremony was completed amidst thunderous cheers.

Ah!

Lay the foundation!

Our Qingshan Township will be given wings to take off and embark on the road to get rid of poverty and become rich from now on.

Escape poverty and avoid hunger.

What a life I long for.
