Chapter 997 A Poor Village in a Poor County

It takes an hour to take a bus from Shanbei to Gazi Village. The road conditions are very bad, and there are even dirt roads in many places, which are full of potholes due to the pressure of agricultural vehicles.

Liu Xiaozhu, who never gets motion sickness, was so jolted that she almost vomited.

Fortunately, Wang Tianhui kept pressing the Neiguan acupoint for her to be relieved.

"Xinxin, why aren't you dizzy? I'm really sick." Liu Xiaozhu couldn't help asking, looking at Zhou Xin who was fine.

After the two chatted all the way, they stopped calling her by the polite title of Ms. Zhou, and called her by her nickname directly.

Zhou Xin looked at Liu Xiaozhu with a smile, "When I first came here, I was worse than you. Afterwards, I went back and forth more times, so I got used to it."

"Oh, it's really not easy, living in such a remote place, no wonder life is so hard." Liu Xiaozhu said with emotion.

Zhou Xin also sighed, looked at the mountains in the distance and said: "So for the children here, reading is the only way out. Originally, I planned to be a teacher in Gazi Village for only three months, but here is too poor and too remote. , no one wants to come, and if I go, the children won't be able to read."

"That's really difficult for you. The children are very lucky to have such a responsible teacher like you." Liu Xiaozhu looked at Zhou Xin with admiration.

"Sister Xiaozhu, I can't bear to let them suspend classes. Now the village is like this. Most of them are left-behind children. The children are also the labor force of the family. Parents actually don't want their children to go to school because they have old-fashioned ideas. Knowledge can't change anything, so it's better to do more work to improve the living conditions in front of you, so if the school is closed, the school may cease to exist." Zhou Xin sighed.

Wang Tianhui thought of a question, "Then why did you go to Yujia Village? After you left, aren't you afraid that the children won't come to class again?"

Zhou Xin smiled and said, "Didn't I say that? I was going to film Sea God Island, don't you know? In fact, every time you live broadcast, I will watch it with the students. This is our important extracurricular activity. Your live broadcast Let the children see how wonderful the outside world is, and they will be more determined to learn if they yearn for the outside world! And I use the vacation to do this, and it does not conflict with teaching."

Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Wang Tianhui was a little moved.

Unexpectedly, his live broadcast to entertain the public would be of such great significance to the impoverished children in the mountains.

"If the children know that Lao Wang next door can come to see them in person, they will be very happy!" Zhou Xin couldn't help but smile knowingly when he thought about this scene.

"Brother Tianhui, I really want to go there quickly to see them, do you think they will know me too?" Liu Xiaozhu said happily with red eyes.

"Of course!" Zhou Xin said excitedly.

"Do you know how much the little girls in our class like sister Xiaozhu? Once I talked about dreams in class, and some little girls said that the dream is to grow up to be sister Xiaozhu, who is gentle, beautiful and kind, and there are people like Lao Wang. Boy friend."

After listening to Zhou Xin's words, all three of them laughed.

The bus bumped all the way and finally stopped at a fork in the road.

The three got out of the car and glanced at the road ahead.

This is a rugged mountain road, which is completely stepped on by people, and extends to the depths of the mountain.

"This road is the only way to enter the village. If you're lucky, you can get us a ride in a bullock cart from a fellow villager. If you're unlucky, you can only walk on two legs." Zhou Xin said.

"Ah? How far do we have to go?" Liu Xiaozhu began to feel apprehensive looking at the road.

"Uh...about an hour or so, but it's okay now, the weather is relatively dry and the road is easy to walk. If it catches up with the rainy season, this road will be muddy, and you can't get in or out, then it will be troublesome." Zhou Xin helped Liu Xiaozhu pull a suitcase, talking while walking.

"Sure enough, the old saying is true. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. If this road is not good, you will be cut off from the outside world and have no chance to develop." Wang Tianhui said with emotion.

This sentence hit Zhou Xin, and she said excitedly: "Brother Wang, you are right. In fact, Gazi Village is poor on this road. In fact, the natural conditions in the village are still good. The resources on the mountain are very rich. There are a lot of mushrooms, fungi, and dried fruits, but because the roads are blocked, the villagers can't sell them even if they pick them, and a lot of resources are wasted.

Moreover, the old people in the village are all craftsmen. The bamboo products they weave are very good, practical and beautiful. Every time I go out, I bring some bamboo products to help them promote them. Many businesses like them very much and want to invest in bamboo products, but they At first glance, this road is over. This road is really blocking the way for the villagers to get rich. "

It can be seen that Zhou Xin really wants to make Gazi Village better, but she is too weak alone to change anything.

"Then why not build the road?" Liu Xiaozhu asked curiously.

Zhou Xin explained helplessly: "The village is too poor, how can it afford to build roads? The county government is not rich, and there are many villages like Gazi Village, which cannot be managed at all. We can only hope for foreign capital, but which Are capitalists willing to invest their money in this kind of place? Even for charity, they would not consider such an unknown small place."

"It's really difficult. Compared with our Yujia Village, it is much better." Liu Xiaozhu heard about the situation in Gazi Village, and sympathized with them.

Wang Tianhui took Zhou Xin's words to heart and decided to go to the village to investigate carefully. If it was really as good as she said, then he would be willing to help the villagers.

It's been almost half an hour since we walked, the climate here is very dry, dust is scattered on the road, the road is too difficult, especially Liu Xiaozhu is not used to it, the three of them stop and go.

"Brother Tianhui, do you have any water on you? My throat hurts."

The dry air made the panting Liu Xiaozhu's voice hoarse.

"I didn't expect to go so far. I knew I should buy some water at the station. There is no fruit in these two suitcases. Xiaozhu, just bear with it, we will be there soon." Wang Tianhui comforted Liu Xiaozhu.

"Xiaozhu, every family in the village grows watermelons. The watermelons in this dry land are sweet and sandy. One bite is sweet to your heart. Let's go quickly. I'll get you a watermelon in the village." Zhou Xin encouraged Liu Xiaozhu.

Hearing about sweet watermelon, Liu Xiaozhu became even thirstier.

"Drive! Drive!"

At this time, there was a yelling sound from the front, just opposite the hillside.

The three of them were all excited when they heard the voice.

"Haha, Xiaozhu, you are lucky, we have met someone!"

Zhou Xin put down the things in his hands, ran up the hillside, looked at it for a while, and then shouted.

"Village Chief! Wait a minute!"

After shouting, Zhou Xin ran back quickly, panting heavily and excitedly said to the two: "It's the village head's ox cart, he's waiting for us, this time we can ride the cart."
