Chapter 505: Second Grade Encounter
At least the first-year students of Sungkyunkwan High School can still live in a stable dormitory in the Ninth Military Region and enjoy the convenience brought by basic facilities such as air conditioning.
The second-year students at Sungkyunkwan High School don't even have a stable place to live.
As for why this happened - because they were helping to harvest vegetables on the farm, and there was no extra accommodation for them on the farm, so they could only set up tents nearby, sleep on the ground, and sleep at the edge of the field every day.
The cause of all this was both accidental and inevitable. While Xia Liuying was arguing and debating with the school board, she was simultaneously looking for various places for Sungkyunkwan High School students to intern. It was precisely because of the exact location and internship arrangements that Xia Liuying was able to successfully convince that group of old antiques.
The base in District 9 was the first to be determined, and because they and Xia Liuying were still in their honeymoon period and their relationship had not been broken, they were able to get in touch easily.
After learning of Xia Liuying's idea, Captain Mao Pingyi privately communicated with Xia Liuying and introduced Xia Liuying to a place called "Ping'an Farm", hoping that Xia Liuying could help them.
Xia Liuying found out a little bit more about it and discovered that Ping'an Farm was opened by Zhao Ping'an, a disabled veteran who retired from the army due to injury in Jingfu City. The reason for opening it was also very touching - he wanted to provide a place for retired disabled veterans like himself to work.
The subsidies provided to disabled veterans in the country are very high and are paid very promptly, with no arrears or embezzlement occurring.
These veterans want to survive and have no problem with having enough food and clothing throughout their lives, but physical disabilities often bring about spiritual emptiness, making these veterans feel like useless people. Living is a waste of state subsidies and they cannot provide any help to society.
In addition, their disabilities are often accompanied by some tragic events and the mental stimulation is also very strong. Therefore, the suicide rate among disabled veterans is very high.
Zhao Ping'an, who was also a disabled veteran, noticed this problem after he became disabled. He felt that many disabled soldiers had lost the will to live and simply lacked a goal, so he decided to find something for these disabled veterans to do so that they could have a firm goal to stay alive.
Therefore, he spent all his savings and borrowed money to buy a small hill near Jingfu City. He started a farm and hired disabled soldiers who were still able to move to help. Even those who were bedridden were arranged some "clerical work" by him, either helping to calculate various things or helping with phone calls.
And none of this is for the money - the benefits for disabled veterans are very high, and there is no need to work so hard.
The reason why they work so enthusiastically is that Zhao Ping'an has sponsored a mountain primary school in the name of Ping'an Farm. All the labor of disabled veterans on the farm will be used to provide for the healthy growth and schooling of a child in the mountainous area.
Moreover, each disabled veteran will be matched with one or several students. This clear feeling of helping others and being needed by others has enabled Ping An Farm to develop smoothly.
However, we definitely lost money in the first few years, and we are not even officially profitable now.
Head of the group Mao Pingyi sighed, "Something went wrong at the beginning of this year, causing most of the crops on the farm to be planted half a month or a month late, and the harvest time was also much later than normal."
"Unfortunately, the weather forecast says that there will be another small cold front in the near future. If we can't harvest them in time, most of the plants on the farm will be frozen to death."
We were not making any profit to begin with, and yet this kind of thing happened.
In fact, the problem is not difficult to solve. As long as you spend money to hire people, most of the work can be done in a few days. But if you hire a group of healthy people to help, and let these disabled soldiers see that the farm will have a better future without them as a burden, will they still be willing to stay on the farm like now?
They will only feel that they are a burden to the farm, and that the farm can make more money and help more children without them.
But the farm is not just for the children; it is built for them. Without their farm, what is the point of making money?
But if they don’t hire anyone to help and let the crops freeze to death in the fields, they will still feel that they are useless and that they are not doing a good job.
So the farm owner Zhao Ping'an fell into a dilemma and was not satisfied no matter what he did.
Captain Mao Pingyi and Zhao Pingan did not know each other, but his former comrade-in-arms worked on Zhao Pingan's farm. His appearance changed from gloomy in the past two years to cheerful now.
He would often use his only remaining arm to take out photos from his phone and show them to Head Mao Pingyi. The little girl he sponsored scored 100 points in the exam and even wrote him a thank-you letter...
He also met the little girl's volunteer teacher, who was not very pretty, but did not mind his disability, and the two of them were already at the stage of discussing marriage.
So after Team Leader Mao Pingyi learned about the problems at Boss Zhao Ping'an's farm, he has been helping to find solutions.
He just had a rough intuition and talked about it with Xia Liuying. After thinking about it, Xia Liuying also felt that this was a good opportunity.
For Xia Liuying, she can let students experience the hardships of working people and feel how ordinary people live.
For Ping An Farm, which was in need of help, the intervention of the students of Sungkyunkwan High School was not a kind of charity, but a two-way need, which made them pay a certain price in exchange while accepting help.
According to Xia Liuying's arrangement, the second graders not only have to help the farm harvest various crops from the fields and mountains, they also have to help the farm sell them.
It's not the kind of situation where the student's family just waves their hand and buys thousands or tens of thousands of kilograms of food.
Instead, several people form a team and take a certain amount of agricultural products to various vegetable markets or other places where sales are allowed every day for manual sales.
Whether it was to increase their social experience or simply to torture... or to exercise, Xia Liuying made the arrangements very boldly.
During this period, because there was not enough living space on the farm, the second-grade students who came to help could only live in tents and the like, and their quality of life was very poor.
Moreover, their food is prepared by these retired disabled soldiers, and the taste may be better than that in the military canteen - they have specially hired retired cooks as chefs.
But the quality and ingredients are a bit incomparable. After all, they are just ordinary food, without the nutritious diet plan like the Ninth District Base.
It was as if I was participating in some large-scale multiplayer transformation.
