I traveled through time, this is unscientific

When Zhou Xiaozhou climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the faint smoke from cooking in the distance, he was so moved that he said "Fuck you" in his heart - we have finally arrived.

It’s all her husband Zhou’s fault. He had to find some old comrade-in-arms to find such a shabby place for her to intern.

They also put it under the euphemism of going to difficult places, to places where talents are truly needed, to support the development of new countryside and revitalize rural education.

She looked down at the navigation map on her phone and confirmed that it was correct. She took a deep breath, but the cold air choked her lungs.

After coughing for a long time, Xiaozhou could only lift his heavy feet again and slowly move towards the place where there was smoke from cooking in the ravine, one step at a time.

Victory is just ahead, comrades still need to work hard. Zhou Xiaozhou regretted it a little bit, why couldn't she insist on staying in the city, why was she fooled by Old Zhou. Alas!

Zhou Xiaozhou, who finally arrived at the place with heavy steps, was a little dumbfounded.

In front of me is a somewhat dilapidated small village with wooden houses and straw roofs. The roofs seem to be shaking at any time, indicating that there may be some problems with the quality of the houses here.

Each household has a large yard, and the sparse bamboo fence makes it clear at a glance that there is nothing in the yard.

In fact, calling it a village is an exaggeration. Just a few thatched houses with fenced yards scattered here and there, can it be considered a village?

Zhou Xiaozhou really didn't want to move forward at all. After walking on the mountain road for so long, his feet were a little out of control.

If she were really asked to do a teaching internship in such a place, she probably wouldn't be able to stick with it. Even staying for a few days might destroy her mentally.

What's more, there is something indescribably strange about this village.

It's really strange!

Zhou Xiaozhou stood on the dirt road leading into the village and observed for a while. The village was very quiet, as if there were not many people, and the standard rural sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking were absent.

Judging from the fact that she had previously returned to her rural hometown with her mother, Ms. Liu Yuhe, that shouldn't be the case!

In the countryside, not to mention that every household keeps a dog to guard the house, but in every village there must be a few Chinese native dogs that like to bark aggressively.

In the past, when she and her husband Ms. Liu went back to her grandmother's house, the Huang and Hei people would chase them before they even entered the village.

If the villagers had not shouted and chased her five miles away, it would have caused great harm to her young heart.

Or maybe her father asked his comrades to arrange it for her in such a small mountain village that was so poor that people couldn't even afford to raise a dog.

Thank you so much, comrade uncle.

Zhou Xiaozhou felt like crying.

This thatched house is a real thatched house, unlike those flower stands used to decorate rural farmhouses.

It looked like the wall was just a few wooden boards loosely placed there, with wind leaking from all sides!

In the new rural area of ​​my hometown now, even adobe houses are rare. The best you can have are two-story brick-concrete buildings!

Zhou Xiaozhou felt that she had come to the wrong place. This didn't look like a village. Instead, it looked like a temporary residence built by villagers who went up the mountain to look after the cattle and sheep and to protect the forest.

But if it is really a temporary place to stay, building one or two rooms would be enough, and there shouldn't be so many. Besides, ordinary temporary residences don't use bamboo fences to enclose the yard. I really don't understand what it is used for.

Could it be that some film crew is setting up the scene here for filming?

Zhou Xiaozhou's imagination ran wild and he seemed to have found an explanation.

Look! This house is so lifelike, much more like the fake ancient buildings in Hengdian.

The grass on the roof seems to be quite old and white, and it flies away and raises dust when the wind blows. The props team is really talented!

Didn’t you hear from your comrades that there is such business in this impoverished mountainous area?

Taking a few photos with her mobile phone as souvenirs, Zhou Xiaozhou used her smart brain to analyze everything and thought she was right.

No matter what, she had to bite the bullet and work as an intern teaching in such a mountain village for several months.

There's nothing we can do! She has already promised her husband, Mr. Zhou, that it will be done.

I must do something great this time, never give up, take root in the countryside, benefit the community, and become a glorious volunteer teacher.

Let Lao Zhou brag about her and be proud of her next time he gets together with his comrades.

After taking a breath, Zhou Xiaozhou prepared to go to the nearest smoking yard to ask for help.

Coincidentally, a child without pants jumped out from a fenced yard in front.

The child looked about four or five years old, not even as tall as her legs, and was very thin, obviously malnourished.

His face looked dirty, and he had a bob with extremely long hair that was so messy it looked like a chicken coop, but he was indeed a boy.

Zhou Xiaozhou was a little confused. Should she say hello to the little boy walking his bird five meters in front of her and ask for directions?

These days, it is not allowed for children of this age who are still not wearing pants to run outside in broad daylight, and of course, not at night either.

The child tilted his head and sucked his black fingers, looking at a strange man coming to the village entrance.

He ran back as fast as he could.

Hey! Zhou Xiaozhou was full of question marks: "Hey, kid, don't run away. I just want to ask, is this Lai'an Village?"

Seeing the bird-walking boy disappear behind the broken door of the house on the left side of the yard, Zhou Xiaozhou shouted again: "I'm not a bad person, little brother, don't run so fast. Be careful not to fall."

Zhou Xiaozhou thought the boy was probably shy, so he went back to put on his pants.

"Sister~Sister~" The little child ran into the house with his short legs and called his sister at the top of his voice.

Wu Sanmei was busy cooking in the kitchen.

She squatted down and added another handful of firewood to the stove. She turned her head and saw Wu Xiaobao stumbling into the kitchen. She replied, "What are you shouting for?"

He stood up again, opened the lid of the pot, added two more scoops of water into the pot, and made the thick wild vegetable paste thinner so that the whole family could eat more.

It was a time of famine, and every household was suffering from hunger. It was good enough to have enough water to eat every day.

Her family was relatively well off; her grandfather was a well-off man and didn't dare to eat and drink too much on weekdays, so they saved some food, which was barely enough to last until the wheat harvest.

But there was no water in the fields, so my grandfather took everyone in his family and the village to go to the fields. If they couldn't find water to drink, the wheat would die of drought. It was so worrying.

Wu Xiaobao ran so fast that he tripped over the threshold and rolled in.

"Someone, someone."

Wu Sanmei took three steps over and pulled him up from the ground. His short legs could barely walk steadily, so how could he run!

"Don't run even if there is someone around. If you fall down and start crying, I won't care about you." The third sister patted the mud he had rubbed off on and asked him to stand up.

Wu Xiaobao pulled her hand out, very excited: "Sister, there's someone, there's someone."

"Where did you come from? Aren't you all working in the fields?" The third sister squatted down and pulled down Wu Xiaobao's short clothes. "Xiaobao, don't be naughty. Play in the yard. Don't dare to make Grandpa angry these two days, understand?"

Seeing that Wu Xiaobao had put on his clothes and was standing steadily, she prepared to get busy again.

She has a lot of food to cook today, and she can't be lazy at all since she's the only one doing it.

At this time, a strange voice came from outside. "Excuse me, is there anyone in the room?"

There really was someone there. Wu Sanmei put down the cooking spoon and walked out to check.
