Chapter 656: Mountain

Los Angeles also has mountains, not mines, but barren mountains, which have grown into forests after so many years.
Where there are mountains, there are mountains. Where there are mountains, there are too many poor people who cannot get out of the mountains.
There is only one school in a few villages, and students need to climb mountains and wading in groups to go to school, and it usually takes more than an hour on the road.
So lunch is settled in school.
There is an elementary school at the foot of a big mountain, which is dilapidated. The so-called playground is nothing more than a flat ground where children often play. The potholes are full of dirt and stones. The only basketball hoop has no ball frame on it.
Two rows of houses, the front row is the classroom, the back is the office and dormitory.
The all-colored adobe houses, with plastic pasted on the windows, and a chimney sticking out with white smoke.
In winter, the room is heated with a stove.
In this way, it is convenient for the children to warm up the lunch box around the stove, and at least eat a bite of warm rice.
The food in the lunch box is mostly dry flatbread, cabbage and potatoes invisible to the oil, which is not bad, and some are just cornmeal pancakes and homemade pickles.
Those little black hands, the one who ate the big pie is called Xiangtian, and he did not forget to fight with other students.
bitter? do not think so!
The children who grew up in the mountains didn't feel much bitter, because they had never tasted sweetness.
In their eyes, isn't life like this?
At this time, a plainly dressed female teacher pushed the door in, and suddenly roared to stop the noisy crowd.
Immediately afterwards, a man and a woman followed, and the children's eyes showed surprise.
Obviously, it can be seen from the clothes that these two people are not here.
The teacher walked to the podium and said, "Classmates, these two are teachers from the city, everyone is warmly welcome!"
The children put down their lunch boxes, and the little black hands clapped their hands, and smiled.
Because they saw these two outsiders bring in a big box.
The teacher smiled and said, "Introduce, this is Teacher Wang, and this is Teacher Liu. They came to our elementary school from the city and sent books and food to everyone!"
The children clapped more vigorously.
Wang Changhu and Liu Jie nodded gently, then took out the bread, milk and ham sausage from the box, and gave them one portion each.
After the delivery, the children did not do anything, but looked at the female teacher.
The teacher gave the order, and the children dared to take it apart and eat, even though some classmates had already eaten it, but where did this little stuff go? Destroyed in minutes.
This is the last class. After the delivery, Wang Changhu and Liu Jie bid farewell to the teachers and took a pickup truck to return.
Liu Jie sat behind, leaning on the glass and looking out the window blankly. He usually likes the natural scenery, but now it is gray.
This is a color of poverty.
Liu Jie said with red eyes, "I didn't expect that there is such a poor place!"
Wang Changhu didn't have much emotion. He was accustomed to this scene, because his hometown was like this.
"That's good. There are still many students who can't afford to go to school because of difficulties at home!"
Liu Jie murmured, "You said that even if you can go to school, how many students can get out of the mountains?"
When you go to school, you can only learn a few more words and get some simple calculations. With the teaching conditions and quality of this school, only a dozen people in the whole school can go to junior high school, and then how about high school? What about the university?
So perhaps none of these people can get out of the mountains.
Wang Changhu smiled bitterly: "I have seen a story, which is also a real thing. There was a reporter interviewing a kid who kept sheep in a mountainous area."
"Why are you herding sheep? He said to make money. Why make money? To marry a daughter-in-law. Why marry a daughter-in-law? To give birth to a baby. Why give birth to a baby? Or to herd sheep!"
Liu Jie sighed and said, "It's this kind of repetition that this place is always so poor! But what can we do? Just send things and books? What can be changed?"
Before coming, Liu Jie had a dispute with Wang Changhu.
She suggested to bring more extracurricular books to let the children enrich their extracurricular knowledge, but Wang Changhu said that it is better to buy some bread and ham, which the children prefer.
At this point, Wang Changhu was right. The hunger and thirst for food far exceeded knowledge. Liu Jie understood that perhaps no one wanted to read the books he sent.
At that time, in the classroom, most of the children didn't know how to eat ham and drink milk after putting food for the children. It was Wang Changhu's personal demonstration that they could eat it.
When Liu Jie saw the children swallowing the food, she couldn't bear to watch it any more, covering her mouth and exiting the classroom.
Seeing such news on TV and the Internet is far less impressive than seeing it in person.
Wang Changhu said: "Maybe nothing can be changed, but it doesn't prevent us from doing what we can. What if the sponsored student is admitted to the university? What if this student decides to come back and change the mountain in the future?"
Liu Jie said softly: "Our strength is too small!"
Since this direction has been established ~EbookFREE.me~ Three Xiaojie first seeks out children who cannot afford to go to school in the Los Angeles city area, and then gradually expands to such impoverished mountainous areas.
The more the scope expands, the deeper Liu Jie feels and the more insignificant she feels.
Wang Changhu said: "If everyone with a carefree life is willing to lend a helping hand, the strength will be great!"
Liu Jie shook her head slightly, "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 become prosperous, we can do more!"
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. Three sections have to work hard to develop, and the money earned in education will be returned to education!"
Wang Changhu clenched a fist and said, "Come on!"
The bumps all the way, finally out of the mountain.
Wang Changhu's cell phone rang suddenly, glanced at the number, and hurriedly answered the call.
"grandfather!"
Only after answering the phone, Wang Changhu lost his mind.
Liu Jie asked softly, "Is something at home?"
After a long time, Wang Changhu swallowed his throat and said, "It's okay at home, but... Xiao Juan... is getting married!"
Liu Jie patted Wang Changhu on the shoulder from behind, "She gets married, and 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 after all, but it was still difficult to accept this day.
Can she really get free after she gets married?
The person who lives in the heart is gone, and his heart is empty!
