Chapter 653 Mountainous Area

There are also mountains in Los Angeles, not mines, but barren mountains that have grown into forests over the years.

Where there are mountains, there are mountainous areas, and there are too many poor people who cannot get out of the mountains.

There is only one school between several villages, and students need to climb mountains and wading in groups to go to school, and it often takes more than an hour on the road.

So lunch is settled at school.

There is an elementary school at the foot of a big mountain, which is dilapidated. The so-called playground is just a flat ground formed by children often playing.

There are two rows of houses, with classrooms in the front and offices and dormitories in the back.

All adobe houses, the windows are pasted with plastic, and there is a chimney sticking out slowly emitting white smoke.

In winter, the room is heated with a stove.

In this way, it is convenient for the children to gather around the stove and heat the lunch box on the stove, so that they can at least have a mouthful of hot rice.

The food in the lunch box is mostly dry pancakes, cabbage and potatoes with no oil, which is not bad, and some are just cornmeal pancakes and homemade pickles.

Those little black hands, who eat with big cakes are called Xiangtian, and they don't forget to fight with other students.

bitter? do not think so!

The children who grew up in the mountains didn't feel bitter, because they had never tasted sweetness.

Isn't life like this in their eyes?

At this time, a plainly dressed female teacher pushed the door in and stopped the noisy crowd with a loud roar.

Immediately afterwards, a man and a woman came in, and the children's eyes showed surprise.

Obviously, just from their clothes, it can be seen that these two people are not from here.

The teacher walked up to the podium and said, "Students, these two are teachers from the city, everyone welcomes you warmly!"

The children put down their lunch boxes, and Xiao Hei clapped his hands clapping, while smiling all over his face.

Because they saw these two outsiders moving in a big box.

The teacher smiled and said, "Let me introduce, this is Teacher Wang and this is Teacher Liu. They came to our elementary school from the city to deliver books and food to everyone!"

The children clapped harder.

Wang Changhu and Liu Jie nodded lightly, then took out bread, milk and ham sausage from the box, and distributed them to everyone.

After sending out, the children didn't do anything, but looked at the female teacher.

Only after the teacher gave an order, the children dared to open it and eat it. Although some students have already eaten it, where can this little thing come from? It will be wiped out in minutes.

This is the last class. After the distribution, Wang Changhu and Liu Jie bid farewell to the teachers and boarded a pickup truck to go back.

Liu Jie sat at the back, leaning on the glass and looking out of the window in a daze. She usually likes this kind of natural scenery, but now it is gray.

It is a poor color.

Liu Jie said with red eyes, "I never thought there would be such a poor place!"

Wang Changhu didn't have much emotion, he was used to this kind of scene, because his hometown was like this.

"It's not bad, there are still many students who can't afford to go to school because of family difficulties!"

Liu Jie murmured: "You said that even if you can go to school, how many students can walk out of the mountains?"

When I go to school, I only need to know a few more words and do some simple arithmetic. With the teaching conditions and quality of this school, there are only a dozen people in the whole school who can go to junior high school, and what about high school? What about university?

So among these people, maybe none of them can get out of the mountains.

Wang Changhu smiled wryly: "I saw a story, which is also a real thing. A reporter interviewed a child herding sheep in a mountainous area."

"Why do you herd sheep? He said to make money. Why make money? To marry a wife. Why marry a wife? To have a baby. Why have a baby? Or to herd sheep!"

Liu Jie sighed and said, "It's this kind of cycle that keeps this place so poor! But what can we do? Just send some food and books? What can be changed?"

Before coming here, Liu Jie had a dispute with Wang Changhu.

She suggested bringing more extracurricular books to enrich the children's extracurricular knowledge, but Wang Changhu said that it is better to buy some bread and ham, the children like it more.

Seeing this, Wang Changhu was right. The hunger for food was far greater than knowledge. Liu Jie understood that no one would want to read the books he gave.

At that time, in the classroom, after the food was served to the children, most of the children did not know how to eat ham sausage and drink milk. They could only eat it after Wang Changhu personally demonstrated it.

When Liu Jie saw those children swallowing the food, she couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and she left the classroom covering her mouth.

Seeing such news on TV and the Internet is far more unforgettable than experiencing it personally.

Wang Changhu said: "Maybe we can't change anything, but it doesn't prevent us from doing what we can. What if, what if the sponsored student happens to be admitted to a university? What if this student decides to come back and change the mountains?"

Liu Jie said softly: "Our strength is too small!"

Since having this direction, Sanxiaojie first searched for children who cannot afford to go to school in downtown Los Angeles, and then gradually expanded to such impoverished mountainous areas.

The more the scope expanded, the deeper Liu Jie's feelings became, and the more she felt small.

Wang Changhu said: "If everyone who lives a carefree life is willing to lend a helping hand, the power will be great!"

Liu Jie shook her head lightly, "Difficult!"

It's really difficult, not everyone can see this situation, and not everyone can want to do it like these two people.

Wang Changhu smiled and said, "Don't worry, our boss is developing his career, and one day he will be successful, and there will be more things we can do!"

If you want to do these things, you must have money.

Money is not everything, but there are some things that only money can solve.

Liu Jie said: "We can't put so much pressure on the boss, we have to work hard to develop in the third quarter, and the money earned in education will be given back to education!"

Wang Changhu clenched his fist and said, "Come on!"

Bumpy all the way, finally out of the mountains.

Wang Changhu's cell phone rang suddenly, he glanced at the number, and hurriedly answered the call.

"grandfather!"

After answering the phone, Wang Changhu lost his mind.

Liu Jie asked softly, "Is there something wrong at home?"

After a long time, Wang Changhu swallowed his throat and said, "The family is fine, but... Xiaojuan... is getting married!"

Liu Jie patted Wang Changhu's shoulder from behind, "She got married, so you can really be free!"

Wang Changhu didn't speak, he couldn't say a word.

I knew that there would be such a day, but when this day came, it was still hard to accept.

If she gets married, can she really be freed?

The person who lived in the heart left, and the heart was empty!
