December, winter, cold and windy.

It seems that not long ago, it was still autumn, and the heat was so hot that people's hearts were dry. In a blink of an eye, the leaves turned yellow and fell, the cold wind howled, and winter was coming.

Daheng Mountain, the poorest area in Mang Province, is not only the poorest area in the province, but also one of the poorest areas in the country.

Jingou Village is a small mountain village hidden deep in the Daheng Mountains. The name of the village sounds rich, but it has nothing to do with wealth. There are more than 40 households in the village, and each household is poorer than the last.

The reason why Jingou Village got its name is because most people in the village are surnamed Jin, and it was an old ancestor hundreds of years ago that gave him such a name.

Early in the morning, it was still daylight, and several families in the village had already gotten dark.

Naturally, there are no electric lights in the village, so they lighted up the kerosene lamp generously. They were really reluctant to part with the kerosene, so they groped for the familiar way, lit a stove, and when there was light and light, they could move.

At the Jin Lao Wu's house at the entrance of the village, Jin Lao Wu was still lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. When he heard his wife get up, he turned over impatiently and fell asleep again.

In the next half of the firewood room, Jin Can, the eldest daughter of the Jin family, had already woken up, put on her clothes, and lay down with her eyes open, talking to her younger sister.

The firewood house was simple and unprotected from the wind, and the two sisters woke up from the cold in the middle of the night. Jin Can suppressed his voice and whispered to his sister about the school affairs. She still loves to listen.

"Big ya, are you awake?" Mother Jin called softly outside the door, worried about waking her husband.

"Get up, I'll be here." Jin Can hurriedly responded, lifted the quilt and got up.

The younger sister of the Jin family didn't sleep anymore, she sat up all of a sudden, put on a pair of thin trousers with holes, and trembled to get out of bed.

Jin Can hurriedly stopped her: "Don't get up, be careful of frostbite."

You should wear thick cotton trousers or woolen trousers in this kind of weather, but in a family like the Jin family, it is impossible for each child to have one pair. In previous winters, children who did not wear thick trousers would sit on the bed for the winter, and whoever needed to go out would wear those. A pair of cotton trousers.

Jin Can was like her younger sister last year, unable to get out of bed for most of the winter. Fortunately, she met a kind person.

She touched the trousers cherishingly. On the outside were her brother's worn-out pudding trousers, but inside was a pair of warm woolen trousers. These were given to her by the teacher in her class. The teacher took apart an old sweater of her own. , called her personally, Jin Can liked it very much.

After receiving the trousers, she dared not wear them home, for fear that her parents would snatch them away and give them to her brothers and sisters to wear.

But the teacher comforted her and told her not to be afraid, and found her brother again, telling him to go back and tell his parents that she had lent the trousers to Jin Can, and if someone took them away, he would not be allowed to go to school.

Thinking of her brother coming back and talking to his parents, who were cursing, angry and helpless, Jin Can wanted to laugh, and his heart was full of gratitude.

Every day before going to bed, she would silently thank her in her heart, thank you for supporting her to go to school, allowing her to study, and giving her free meals and a free house for her kind "sister", thank you teachers, thank you all the kind people she met.

In fact, Jin Can didn't know who was sponsoring her, but she heard people in the village talk about it, saying that she must be a woman with a lot of money and no place to spend, otherwise she couldn't value girls more than boys.

He also said that that woman is heartless and not clear about her mind, what's the use of a girl, like her, she knows how to lose money, so much money is spent for no reason on dolls she doesn't know, and raises babies for other people's families, is it stupid or not.

When Jin Can heard those words, there was unspeakable anger in his small chest.

She secretly threw two big chunks of yellow mud into the water tank of the family who scolded her kind sister.

She did bad things, but she was very happy in her heart.

"Sister, I also want to go to school." Jin Xiaomei looked at her sister eagerly and muttered in a low voice.

Jin Can patted his younger sister's head: "You will be six years old next year. I asked the teacher and I can apply for you at that time, and Sister Fairy will also support you."

"Really?" Jin Xiaomei couldn't help asking.

"Really." Jin Can said vigorously, "You have to memorize the words I taught you at home, and the teacher will accept you when he sees you are smart."

"Okay, I remember it every day, and I remember it well."

In fact, these conversations have been carried out more than once, but Jin Xiaomei can't help but ask her sister again and again for confirmation, unable to let go of the fear in her heart.

Mother Jin was urging again outside, Jin Can hurriedly packed her things and went out to help.

Jin's mother was making breakfast for her second son, who was also up early. From Jinjiagou to the village, he had to climb three mountains. It was already afternoon at school, and he was still hungry at noon. He couldn't eat nothing in the morning.

The Jin family has five children, three sons and two daughters.

The eldest son is thirteen or fourteen years old, and in two years' time he will marry him.

The second son is ten years old. Together with his younger sister, Jin Can, he is studying in a primary school in the village with the aid of the Xinhuo Foundation.

The youngest son and the youngest daughter below are still young, not yet at the school age, otherwise the Jin family couple would like to send the two young ones to school as well. They can't do much work at such a young age, so it would be great to send them to school for free board and lodging.

After Jin Can washed up briefly, she went to help her mother cook.

There is no toothbrush and toothpaste. I used to gargle at most, but now I know how to be hygienic. I secretly dip a little salt in the salt shaker behind my mother's back, wipe my teeth, and then rinse.

After breakfast was ready, Jin Xiaoer rubbed his eyes and got up. He and his elder brother lived in the same room, and the Jin family only had these two bedrooms.

"Xiao Er, come quickly, Mom will serve you porridge."

The mother and daughter had been busy in the kitchen all morning without saying a word, and when they saw their son, Jin's mother immediately smiled.

"How many times have I told you, don't call me Xiaoer, I'm Jin Dejia!" The second son of the Jin family said dissatisfied.

Both his and Jin Can's names went to school, and the teacher helped them pick them up.

"Yes, yes, mother forgot, mother was wrong." Mother Jin apologized again and again, and repeated her son's name several times in her mouth, thinking that it was worthy of being chosen by a cultural person, and it just sounds nice.

"Little... Dejia, what does your name mean?" Mother Jin asked.

Jin Dejia slurped his porridge, and said impatiently: "Didn't I tell you that I have good moral character, the teacher said, let me be a good person with good moral character in the future."

"Yes, that's what it means, that's great." Mother Jin lovingly watched her son gulp down the porridge with satisfaction in her eyes.

Jin Can lowered her eyes and quietly drank the porridge water in the bowl with clear soup and little water. In her brother's bowl was thick porridge rice, and in her bowl was the thin porridge water scooped up by her mother from the top.

Her name was also chosen by the teacher. The teacher said that she hoped that she would have a bright future.

After breakfast, the two children packed their schoolbags and got ready to go to school. They didn't need to bring food or a change of clothes.

Mother Jin chased after her, cared for her son, and then nagged at her daughter: "Remember to bring back the eggs from the school, they are for your brother's health, if you dare to steal them, see how I will deal with you. "

Jin Can couldn't help but feel happy at the thought of going to school, and didn't take her mother's eccentricity to heart.

She doesn't have to eat eggs, as long as she can go to school, she doesn't have to eat eggs in her life!

Several other sponsored children in the village also went out, seven girls and five boys. The girls all had smiles on their faces and sparkling eyes.

They are facing the cold wind, but as if they are facing the light and the light, they stride forward.

capital.

Jin Can's grateful "Sister Fairy" just got up from the warm bed and quickly put on a warm and thick sweater.

Shen Qiao took out a short trench coat and handed it to him: "Wear this."

While putting the coat on his body, Chen Yu couldn't help asking: "It's been a few months, it should be fine."

The coat he was wearing was made of protective clothing, and the clothes were pretty, but Shen Qiao's laboratory was almost becoming a private dressing room.

At first it was said that it might be dangerous, Shen Qiao put on a vest and went to work as a teacher in their school, but it has been almost three months without any movement.

Shen Qiao helped him straighten his collar, brushed his chin with cool fingers, Chen Yu snorted and hid for a while: "Itchy."

Shen Qiao also bent his eyes, and scratched it twice, making Chen Yu keep dodging.

The two played around for a while, and the toss became hot, Chen Yu's face was dyed a nice blush, and his eyes were moist.

He pushed Shen Qiao's hand away: "Stop making trouble, I still have to go to school."

"Get up and eat, I'll take you there in a while."

In this kind of weather, Chen Yu didn't bother to walk to school or take the bus, it was very comfortable to take Shen Qiao's ride there.

"You haven't said yet? Have you not lifted the alarm yet?" Chen Yu was still asking this question all the way to the dinner table.

Shen Qiao thought for a while and said, "One month ago, a researcher disappeared."

Because they are not core researchers, they are not protected centrally like those leaders of various experiments.

There are tens of thousands of researchers like this in the Academy of Sciences, and it is impossible to stop all work because of possible dangers. This researcher disappeared on the way to visit his relatives.

"Ah?!" Chen Yu was shocked: "Have you found it? Is there anything wrong?"

Shen Qiao had an unhappy expression: "No, I went abroad."

Chen Yu: "..."

For a while, I didn't know whether I should be happy for his safety.

"So be careful recently, tell me where you're going, and I'll take you there." Shen Qiao said.

I don't know what news he revealed, but he must have said something useful to those people before he was sent out.

"Understood." Chen Yu nodded, then frowned and said, "I'm fine, I just ran between school and home..."

The home is so close, and I often pick up and drop off at the bridge, basically there is no chance of placing an order.

"But will it affect my family and friends?" Chen Yu asked worriedly.

It's all right for the Shen family to be in the countryside, a few outsiders who come here are as conspicuous as apples thrown into a pile of oranges, and it's not easy to do anything illegal.

His roommates, as well as Chen Meili, are all close.

Especially Chen Meili, a young and weak girl, seems to be the easiest to attack.

She said before that she wanted to change her major, but the semester had already started and she couldn't transfer. If she wanted to transfer, she had to pass the exam in the next semester.

Chen Yu told her that foreign psychology majors have many advanced concepts, and it will be more convenient for her to read the original documents after she learns more foreign languages, so Chen Meili has been crazy busy this semester.

In school, he not only has to take courses in his major, but also has to go to the Department of Psychology to take classes, and runs to the Shuguang Foundation every holiday. He has become an old employee who has started to bring new people.

During the period, Sheng Yuan came twice and asked Chen Meili to go out.

The little girl said, I'm too busy, I don't have time, and recently I don't think about personal relationship issues, and I just want to shine for public welfare.

Sheng Yuan: "..."

As for how Chen Yu knew... Sheng Yuan wanted to donate money and supplies to his foundation, but Chen Yu refused again.

Finally, I heard that he got two boxes of psychology books and gave them to Chen Meili, but this was not rejected.
