The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era
Chapter 361 Help, but not all
There was a minivan in the front and a few small trucks in the back. The narrow and rugged mountain roads were simply passed by large vehicles. And even such a small car can only go to the township level at most, and it takes more than two hours to walk on the mountain road to reach the destination.
The bumps along the way made everyone's faces look bad. After walking down the mountain road for more than two hours, even though the girls behind were not carrying any more goods, their complexions still turned sallow.
"Why don't we go to the village in front and you can stay there to rest, or we can go there tomorrow." Seeing a few people walking, their legs were trembling, Yang Dongxu suggested.
Walking down this long mountain road, even a martial arts practitioner like him is out of breath. One can imagine how tired the girl is. And Leslie Cheung and Andy Lau were still carrying goods. Although the boxes they were carrying were not big, they were filled with heavy stationery and books.
"How long will it take to get there?" Leslie Cheung asked as he walked. Yang Dongxu proposed to rest several times on the way, but he rejected it. He knew in his heart that although everyone was very tired now, if they wanted to move forward, they couldn't rest. Otherwise, unless they took a long rest, they would definitely not want to leave after sitting down.
"It will take at least an hour at the current speed." Yang Dongxu has been to the Hope Primary School at the destination, so he knows the approximate distance.
"Meigu and Xiaoyu have rested up front, you and I will go there first, and they will gather tomorrow." Leslie Cheung said.
"No, let's go there together. It's still early, so let's walk slowly." Anita Mui shook her head.
Although she would like to rest, but she does not want to give up halfway, this is not her style of doing things.
She didn't want to stay, and Maggie Cheung certainly didn't want to stay, let alone Andy Lau. Seeing the three people sweating profusely, Yang Dongxu said, "Give the things in your hands to the porter, and hold on with the crutches in your hands. I will walk with Sister Mei and Sister Yu by the arm."
"Alright." Leslie Cheung was not polite.
Pointless persistence at this time will only slow down the progress of the team and make the porters more tired. Since I don't have the physical strength to help now, let's try not to make trouble.
"Those who are carrying things, go at your own pace, don't wait for us." Yang Dongxu shouted at the porters.
Then with Anita Mui and Maggie Cheung supporting each other, the two of them leaned on a cane in the other hand, and the group continued to set off.
From two o'clock when we had just had dinner in the township until after five o'clock, the group finally reached their destination. Many villagers from Porter Jinjin Village came out of the village to pick them up. , but with a guilty face, Anita Mui felt that all the hard work along the way was worth it.
It got dark quickly, and the lights in the room were flickering. This mountain village still can't afford electricity. Many houses are built of wood, and some are thatched houses.
But despite being poor, they still showed great enthusiasm to entertain Yang Dongxu and his party. No matter what the villagers give, how much food to send. Yang Dongxu will accept it with a smile, and they will definitely not take back the money, so he will give more clothes, shoes and other things.
"Wash your feet first, and then pop the blisters on your feet, or you won't be able to walk tomorrow." After dinner, Yang Dongxu walked in with a footbath in the flickering lights.
There are no extra houses in the village, so several people live in the village chief's house. The two girls slept on the bed, and the three men slept on a makeshift bed made of planks and stools. The quilts I put on were a bit worn out, but they were all clean, with a fragrance of sunshine.
"Xiaoyu and I came first, I didn't expect to be so tired from walking." Anita Mui, who was lying on the bed as if her whole body was falling apart, supported her body to do it.
She is not a person who has suffered hardships. Her father died early when she was a child, and she lived in embarrassment when she was a child. In order to be famous, she has worked hard no matter whether it is singing or dancing. But walking down the mountain road for more than three hours, not to mention her, even big men like Leslie Cheung and Andy Lau almost couldn't survive.
"You wash it first." Leslie Cheung took out a pack of cigarettes and held one in his mouth, and handed one to Andy Lau. Seeing that Yang Dongxu signaled not to speak, he asked, "Where is Xiaoxu's school?"
"To the east of the village, there is still about 20 minutes away from the village. There is a gentle slope over there, which is very large, which is very suitable for building a school and a playground." Yang Dongxu said.
"How many students are there now?"
"More than three hundred from the first grade to the fifth grade."
"There are so many children in the village?" Andy Lau was taken aback.
"Not all the children in this village. The school was built in that place because there are seven villages within a radius of ten kilometers from this village. Such a primary school can cover all school-age children in seven villages. .”
"Ten kilometers! It's so far away, how long does it take for them to go to school?" Maggie Cheung was surprised. It was hard for her to imagine the feeling of walking ten kilometers to school on a mountain road since she was a child.
"This is already very good. Compared with the past tens of kilometers of mountain roads to go to school in the township, ten kilometers is very close. And the school has more than 30 kilometers away from the village for children to go to school."
"A mountain road of more than 30 kilometers, and a round trip of more than 60 kilometers and more than 100 miles, how long will it take on the road, and do you still have time to study?" Anita Mui frowned.
"The school has a cafeteria and dormitory. Children who are too far away bring food to the cafeteria to process it for them. It is not a big problem to go back once a week or half a month." Yang Dongxu said.
Yang Dongxu has carefully considered the location of each school, trying to make the money wisely and not waste it. So some facilities of the school are perfect.
"Is there anything else the school lacks besides supplies?" Although he hadn't seen those children yet, Leslie Cheung was moved by the children's desire to learn after walking more than 30 kilometers on the mountain road to study.
"In fact, there is not much shortage of supplies. Although the mountain road is difficult to walk, many people in the nearby villages are willing to help carry things in. In addition to the Runyu Fund's lunch subsidy program for students, their daily life can also be guaranteed.
Now the main thing is the teachers. This place is too poor. Although the basic line of the school is good after the school is built, few teachers are willing to teach. There are only three teachers in the school with more than 300 students, and one of them is over 60. There is a serious shortage of teachers. "
"How can three teachers be enough? Don't you think of his solution? How about I bear the teacher's salary." Leslie Cheung frowned.
There are only three teachers for more than 300 students, and one of them is already old. Such a difficult situation, if he hadn't heard what Yang Dongxu said personally, he wouldn't have believed it.
"We are already discussing with the local government. The Runyu Foundation will bear part of the teacher's salary. Now two teachers have decided to come over. After the National Day is over, they will be able to come over when they have a clear handover of work at the school."
"Why don't we go to the school now?" Andy Lau got up and said.
"It's getting dark, let's go there tomorrow. The school won't be connected to electricity until the end of the year. There is no electricity yet. The students and teachers at the school are probably asleep. Let's not disturb them for now." Yang Dongxu waved waved.
Yang Dongxu got up early the next morning. After a night's rest, although the spirits of several people recovered, their bodies were even more sore, especially their legs seemed to be filled with lead.
But even so, Leslie Cheung and the others still woke up very early, washed up and ate breakfast, and then walked to school together. A few people walked for more than half an hour for a journey of more than 20 minutes.
Although the sore legs and feet along the way made several people frown, when they approached the school, they heard the sound of reading aloud. Everyone couldn't help but smile on their faces.
The clear and crisp reading sound is neat and rhythmic, as if cheerful notes are beating in your ears, making people who are suffering can't help but forget their fatigue, and they seem to see hope in front of them.
A few people visited the school during class time and did not disturb them. During lunch, the group went to the cafeteria together.
The cafeteria was not big enough to satisfy all the children in the school. Seeing that the master chef in the cafeteria wanted to prepare a table of dishes for several people, Leslie Cheung quickly waved his hand and said no, but queued up for meals like the students.
"Didn't you say there is a lunch subsidy?" Leslie Cheung asked while looking at the crude meal in front of him without disgust.
"This is already the result of the subsidy. There are still many people who are hungry, so being able to eat is the prerequisite, and then nutrition." Yang Dongxu took a piece of multigrain steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. The taste is ok.
"Why don't I pay more and subsidize more?" Andy Lau said after taking a sip of porridge.
"It's not about money, it's just a lunch subsidy. It's to reduce the burden on the families of these school children. Otherwise, many parents would rather let their children run around at home than let them go to school.
To put it bluntly, many children in schools now go to school just for one bite. So just eat enough and try to supplement your nutrition. "Yang Dongxu said helplessly, not because he didn't want to do better, but because he couldn't do better.
"Just follow the plan made by Runyu. Let's help as much as possible, but not all." Leslie Cheung pondered for a while, seeming to taste the meaning of Yang Dongxu's words and said.
Several other people heard what Leslie Cheung said, although they didn't fully understand it. But he didn't say anything, and took a lunch break after dinner. A few people first distributed the stationery they brought, and played with the children in physical education class for a while in the afternoon.
The group returned to the village at night and did not stay at school to disturb them.
The next day, because the blisters on the feet of several people did not recover, the planned departure time was postponed. A few people went to school and worked as teachers for a few days.
I stayed there for a week, and the injuries on several people's feet had almost recovered before they were ready to leave.
Back in Chengdu, Yang Dongxu took a good bath in the hotel, and then found a good hot pot restaurant as the host, and several people ate hot pot.
"Everyone has a song, and I'll give it to you in two days." Yang Dongxu said very gratefully during the meal.
"Let's talk about the song later. We want to do good deeds ourselves. If we don't choose Runyu, we will choose other channels, so you don't have to
Too concerned. " Leslie Cheung said.
