first dust

The destination that An Chuchen and the others arrived at was a mountain village. It took them almost a whole day to shuttle back and forth in the mountains, and the road was full of undulating mountains and bumpy mountain roads.Because of the news in advance, the cadres of the town and the village waited at the entrance of the village very early.

Ma Yi, his parents divorced, his father worked outside all the year round, and only came back once during the Chinese New Year. He lived with his elderly grandfather.He has lived in this mountain since he was a child, and the farthest he has reached is the town.The only time he went out was because he was sick and had a persistent high fever. His grandfather sent him to the town health center, and then to the big hospital in the city.

His illness in the hospital used up all his father's savings from working outside the home over the years, and he had no money to continue the operation, so he could only wait to be discharged from the hospital.Fortunately, with the help of the new teacher, I finally completed the operation through online help. After returning home, I can still receive a monthly nutrition fee of 600 yuan for one year.Grandpa told him again and again to thank his teachers and the Stardust Foundation, and he would repay them in the future.

The 12-year-old Ma Yi doesn't know what a foundation is, but he also knows that it is a good place to help people.I heard from the village chief that people from the foundation will come today. He is wearing the best clothes, and he only wants to meet those people from the foundation as soon as possible.The people in the village are also like him. Few people come in here, and everyone is curious about what investigations the people outside are going to do.

Guo Hongquan, 26 years old this year, is from M City and has been teaching here for two and a half years.When he was about to graduate from university, he broke up with his girlfriend due to differences in the place of work. Sadly, he chose to teach in this mountain.It is poor and quiet here, and although life is hard, seeing the innocent and lively smiling faces of the children, he persisted.

Most of the young and middle-aged people here go out to work, leaving behind mostly middle-aged people, the elderly and children. Many farmlands that were cultivated with great difficulty by the previous ancestors are gradually becoming barren.The students in his elementary school are children from several nearby villages. Some parents think that studying is useless, and the children are also affected. If they want to go to school, they can go to school. Work.

Riding a motorcycle consumes too much gas, and his salary can't afford it. Riding an electric car will run out of battery halfway, so he can only choose a bicycle, and there are tools and pumps for repairing the bicycle in the front basket of the bicycle.Now he has lost the frail otaku atmosphere of his college days, and has become a dark and strong young man. Of course, it would be better if he was taller.

Regarding this place with beautiful mountains and green waters, he lamented to his classmates that it would be great if it could be developed into a tourist attraction, but there are too many such scenery in China, which has no characteristics for Chinese people and cannot attract many people.Many scenic spots are not well-known because of their small reputation, there are not many sources of funds, and no one takes care of them, so they slowly return to their original state.

He knew a little more about the Stardust Foundation than the people here. Because of Ma Yi's affairs, the staff of the foundation contacted him first.He had a good impression of this foundation, and later checked it carefully on the Internet. It turned out that it was a private non-public fundraising foundation. He was immediately in awe of the unknown chairman of the foundation. There are still so many good people!

His parents are not very supportive of him teaching here, and he doesn't even have a girlfriend when he is at the age of marriage. They want him to return to the city to work and start a family early.Hearing from the people in the village that they were going to come to investigate, he came back early after the Chinese New Year because of this incident. He thought it was an opportunity, and the task of teaching support was completed in half a year, and he wanted to do something else.

The group of the foundation received a warm welcome. The mayor came here in person. The mountains here are sparsely populated, the traffic conditions are poor, the news is blocked, and the thinking is old-fashioned. There are many places in Huaguo with conditions like theirs. For them, investment is too much. It is a great surprise to have companies come here for inspection.For this reason, the leadership team in the town specially held several meetings, sorted out the local advantages, and wrote down everything that could be thought of.

Under the guidance of the cadres, he visited the village once. Qian Aimin had followed the investigators before, and he was more familiar with this place than others, so he followed Secretary-General Wang to add explanations.There are 172 households with a total of 691 villagers here. The residences are basically adobe houses with poor living conditions. There is no clinic in the village. The villagers go to the barefoot doctors in nearby villages to see a doctor. The main income is to go out to work and do farming.

"The terrain in the mountainous area is complex, the climate is different, and the species of animals and plants are diverse. The villagers will collect some Chinese herbal medicines to sell when they are not farming."

"The fruits grown in this area are very delicious, and every household is drying persimmons."

"There is a walnut orchard there, but the market is not good, and the villagers pick and eat it by themselves."

"This old man grows the tobacco leaves himself. The local people like this taste. It's strong!"

"Brother Ma has been raising rabbits for more than ten years, and the sales are pretty good."

It has just snowed in the mountains, and the top of the mountain in the distance seems to be wearing white hats.The village stands close to the mountain, and there are basically narrow stone steps when going uphill. The rest of the roads are dirt roads, which are not very easy to walk.

"Be careful!" Sister Hua who was next to her almost slipped, and An Chuchen quickly helped her up.

"Thank you, Xiaoan." Sister Hua has slender eyebrows and eyeliner drawn on her slightly round oval face, and she is wearing a wine red long down jacket, making her smile even more charming. "The scenery here is really nice, but the road is not so good Well, but this is also the meaning of our coming here, to make this place better, not worse than the countryside in other developed countries.”

"Well, yes." Looking at the muddy road under his feet, the dirty boots on the feet of the crowd, and the serious or excited expressions on their faces, An Chuchen replied softly, with a firm and forceful tone.

Rest in the guest house in the town at night, the environment is not very good, but the bedding is clean, An Chuchen and Qian Aimin live in the same room.

While writing today's summary, Qian Aimin couldn't stop talking, "I think it's good to specialize in growing herbs in this place. The environment here is so good, and the things grown are clean. It's just that we don't know much about this, we need experts to do it. "

"You can consult the local agricultural bureau."

"It's not bad to engage in farming. The food you eat is not polluted. If the publicity is in place, you can sell it at a good price, just like Japanese Kobe beef."

"Well, yes."

"Growing tobacco leaves is also very good. Today's cigarettes are much more expensive than when we were young. I don't know if we can get a relationship with the tobacco company."

……

As an investor, An Chuchen is not good at investing, nor will he point fingers at professionals. His main purpose of following is to watch and listen.

The curious eyes, messy hair, and care of the new clothes of the children who followed him today all touched him.His parents gave him plenty of material things, let him receive the best education, and supported most of his decisions. Occasionally, some knots were just parents' divorce and the unknown malice.What kind of person would he grow into if he were allowed to live in the environment of these children?This is what is often said on the Internet about reincarnation. Thinking of this, An Chuchen not only smiled, he was really lucky.

The group stayed here for three days, and then went to several other places. The conditions in these areas are similar, but the treatment they receive is different. Some are warmly welcomed, and some are swearing at each other.

Back in City S, the professional investors in the foundation quickly gave the feasibility reports of different projects, which met their initial development requirements.After reading it, An Chuchen gave it to Secretary-General Wang for approval, and increased investment in the foundation, letting them do it freely. He only looked at the results.

An Chuchen wasn't idle at home either. His new algorithm needed to be further improved. He had an idea yesterday, and when he was so busy, he raised his head and saw the dawn, only to realize that he hadn't slept all night.My head is a little dizzy, I want to sleep and rest my stomach can't take it anymore.

Putting on a thick down jacket, An Chuchen walked out of the community to have breakfast at the opposite commercial street with somewhat flimsy steps.

It didn't take long for the sun to shine, and because of the cold weather, there were not many pedestrians coming out, and occasionally there were some cars speeding along the long street.Wrapped under the warm scarf, the breath quickly blurred the glasses, and An Chuchen had to take off the glasses and put them in his pocket.

The breakfast shops on the commercial street are starting to get busy, and the city will wake up completely in a while, and many of them get up at two or three in the morning to prepare in advance.With the development of the economy, people have higher and higher requirements for food, not only to fill their stomachs, but also to pay attention to health preservation in addition to the pursuit of delicious food.Fresh ingredients, clean processing techniques, tasteful decoration environment, and comfortable service quality, only by doing the best can we survive in this extremely picky place.

An Chuchen picked a wonton noodle restaurant to go in. The severe cold outside was blocked by the thick glass door, and the interior was as warm as spring.This noodle shop has been here for many years. He used to come here often, but this time he found that a lot has changed. The boss has redecorated the shop.The folk paintings occupying one wall are clearer and more colorful. The tables and stools have been replaced with thick and rough dark solid wood tables. Every corner of the shop is spotless.Looking at the prices, each variety has increased by one to five yuan.Inadvertently, the people and things around us are changing all the time.

The wonton noodles served in a more refined and artistic bowl did not change its taste, and An Chuchen filled his stomach happily.

"Hello, are you An Chuchen?" A girl asked cautiously. She was petite and wore a pure white down jacket. Her long black hair hung obediently behind her ears, and her fair skin was pink. The color is dark, and the big black eyes seem to contain a pool of spring water, clear and bright.

An Chuchen raised his head, and felt that the girl in front of him looked familiar: "Hi, may I ask who you are?"

The girl said excitedly: "It's really you! I almost didn't recognize you before! I'm Qin Ruomeng! I'm from the same junior high school! I used to send you love letters!"

As if he had some impressions, An Chuchen gradually remembered that the whole junior high school was sending him love letters, and they were sending them in person.At that time, she was thin and small, but she only remembered that she had big eyes and a lot of courage. Every time she stopped An Chuchen, she would seriously say: "An Chuchen, I like you!" Then she added another sentence: "You don't like me It doesn't matter, you just need to remember me!" Very secondary words.Now that it has grown, it looks much better than before.

"Please sit down." An Chuchen said with a smile.

"Really? That's great! I thought you were still as cold as before!" Qin Ruomeng was in disbelief.

After all, he was a classmate he hadn't seen for several years, An Chuchen continued, "Are you here for dinner?" There were not many students who got up so early during the holidays, and they were alone in such a cold day, and they were still girls.

"Yes! I heard that the noodles here are delicious." Qin Ruomeng said with a smile. She dared not say that she came here to chase after the male god, but she did not expect to win a big prize.

She had been looking for this person for three years in high school. She thought that a person like An Chuchen would be dazzling everywhere, but there was no news, and her classmates thought he had gone abroad.But when I went to college, I found his photo occasionally when browsing the web, and recognized him at a glance.She actually looks better than when she was in junior high school, and her temperament is more stable, not as cold as before, and much more restrained.A male god is still a male god, even with such a low-key dress, he is still handsome!Having been in love with someone secretly for so long, she secretly collects information about him.

The holiday is coming to an end soon, and she hasn't seen this person yet, so she doesn't give up, she finds someone to find out the address where the male god lives, and wanders around the neighborhood when she has nothing to do.

Her sister said she was too obsessed, but she was proud of it, learning to dress up for this man, thinking that when she saw him one day, she would let him see her most beautiful side.She gave up the guzheng, which she had studied in primary school for many years, and switched to piano, just to cultivate the same hobby as him.She worked hard to get a scholarship at school and learned German in her spare time, just to follow in his footsteps.

She will always remember that afternoon, she was almost knocked down by a speeding car because she was absent-minded in the exam, and he pulled her away suddenly.Rescued by the boy she had been secretly in love with, her thoughts were confused, she stared blankly at him, not knowing what to say.

"Be careful." The tall and cold boy thought she was frightened, and said softly.

Since then, it has completely fallen.

After Qin Ruomeng finished eating, the two of them went out together.

"I'm going home first, goodbye." An Chuchen said politely.

"Goodbye." Qin Ruomeng was a little disappointed, she didn't have the courage to invite this person to walk with her, because she knew him well, she would definitely be rejected.It's too difficult to deal with a male god who never gets flirtatious, beauty doesn't work at all!But without any beauty, she didn't dare to stand in front of him.

Looking at the back of An Chuchen who was about to leave, Qin Ruomeng cheered on herself, she said: "An Chuchen, I like you."

An Chuchen in front stopped and turned around, and replied seriously as before: "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, as long as you know that I like you." Qin Ruomeng said with tears in her eyes.

An Chuchen left without answering.

The streets are occupied by vehicles and pedestrians, and the cold air makes people reluctant to stay outside.The beautiful white girl stood on the side of the road and looked at the tall building not far away, crying silently. She looked very abrupt, which aroused the speculation of passers-by.Another girl who was hurt by love, so pitiful, someone treats a beautiful woman like this, I really don't know how to cherish it.A man stopped and wanted to go forward to comfort him, but the beauty gave him a blank stare and left resentfully.
