Ba Zong's rural life [farming]

On the day when the road construction started, two small cars drove into the village early in the morning. The black body ran all the way on the dusty village road, and the village was already full of dust.

The village head had been notified a long time ago that the general manager of Lucai Group, which donated roads to their village, would come to attend the foundation laying ceremony today, so last night he mobilized the whole village to take care of the sanitation situation in the village. Make it festive.

Ruan Xishi heard the news last night. Although his family lives at the end of the village, the village head still notified him to come to his house and asked him to clean up the grass and rubbish on the roadside in front of his house. A nobleman is coming to the village.

At that time, Lu Ze was also beside him. Hearing the exaggerated tone of the village chief, he also regarded Lu Zhao as a noble person. There was an unbearable smile on his lips. At most, Lu Zhao was just an executor. Is it all his plans?

However, he didn't intend to ask for credit. The original intention of building the road was not to make the people in the village be grateful to him, but to let people like Ruan Xishi in the village live a better life.

The village chief and Ruan Xishi didn't care about his obvious smile, they just thought he was also happy that the village was about to build a road. After the village chief left, Ruan Xishi took a shovel out of the house and worked with Lu Ze to clear the road. Clean up the weeds and garbage on the side.

After a day of cleaning yesterday, the village looks clean as a whole. It is the season of high autumn and low rain. The village needs to build roads. The ground is dry and dusty. Water was sprinkled on the gravel road at the entrance of the village to prevent guests from getting dust on the soles of their shoes.

In addition, the village head also invited the village's performance team that specializes in weddings and weddings. A group of people stood at the entrance of the village with gongs, drums, trumpets and suonas. When the distinguished guests came, they would beat gongs and drums to welcome them.

There are also two firecrackers hanging on both sides of the shelf at the intersection. When the distinguished guests pass by, they will set off firecrackers to make the atmosphere more lively.

People who don't know think that the daughter of someone in this village is going to marry a local tyrant.But the idea of ​​the people in the village is so simple, today is a great day, when the guests come, they have to make a bustling scene to express their welcome, and the ceremony is not too much.

The car drove into the village, and the village head immediately took a few young people who were not timid and talented to greet him, and the performance team behind him immediately performed their most festive tunes, and the village was very lively for a while.

The general manager and other representatives of the Lucai Group got out of the car in front. The village head greeted them with a smile, and stretched out his hand before approaching, and said enthusiastically: "Boss Lu, hello, welcome! Come visit our village."

Lu Zhao is a tall man, wearing a strict suit, combing his hair meticulously, and wearing a pair of rimless glasses. He looks different from the people in their village, full of extravagance.

After getting off the car, Lu Zhao went up to meet him in two steps, held the village chief's hand, and greeted with a smile: "Village chief Gao, right? I've admired him for a long time."

Village head Gao held Lu Zhao's hand tightly with both hands, his face was wrinkled with a smile, and he said excitedly: "You have worked hard on this journey. On behalf of all the villagers in our village, I welcome you. Thank you for your strong support for the construction of our village. You are the nobleman of our village!"

Lu Zhao said with a smile: "You don't dare to be a nobleman. This is what we, a big social enterprise based on the people, should do. You don't have to be polite."

While the two of them were exchanging pleasantries, several people got off from another car. Among them was an elderly middle-aged lady. Although she was not as luxuriously dressed as Lu Zhao, she also had an elegant and gentle temperament.

Lu Zhao let go of the village head's hand, walked to the lady and introduced to the village head: "This is Ms. Gao, the project director of the Hope Project. She has read all the information a while ago, and this time she is here to choose a site for the school. Those who accompanied her were assistants and engineers from the project department."

The village chief didn't expect that the nobleman who was going to build a school for them would come today. He was overjoyed and hurried over to shake hands and say hello: "Hello, hello, thank you for your hard work."

Ms. Gao smiled and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard, these are what we should do."

After exchanging pleasantries, the village head took them to a temporary rest shed for road construction workers.Because the village is relatively remote, food, clothing, housing and transportation are not very convenient. Although the construction team has set up mobile factories and dormitories, and the daily expenses are paid from Lucai Group, food is still a problem.Later, the construction team leader discussed with the village head, and temporarily built a large shed in the open space at the entrance of the village as a canteen. The construction team helped the village head Qian to buy rice and vegetables every day for cooking.

The village head built a shed, bought some sets of unused tables and chairs from each household, got some big pots, and even put a color TV, so the cafeteria looked decent.Then I invited a few village women who had nothing to do in the village to help cook for the construction team every day, and gave a subsidy of ten yuan a day, and some people rushed to do it.

The canteen was also cleaned once, the tables and stools were wiped clean, the village head invited the distinguished guests to sit down, and soon several village women came up to entertain them with tea and water.

Lu Zhao didn't mind the harsh environment here, and sat on a wooden bench with his legs spread apart. He took the tea from the village woman and put it on the table, looking around carefully.

There were a lot of fresh vegetables piled up in a corner of the cafeteria, and he asked the village head curiously: "Are these vegetables just for the construction team?"

The village chief responded quickly: "Isn't that right, these vegetables were just picked from the field this morning. The vegetables grown by the farmers in our village are fresh. I guarantee that every worker in the construction team will eat and drink well." .”

Lu Zhao nodded and said with a smile, "Cun Chief Gao has a heart. I believe our construction team will live up to the wishes of the villagers and build the road as soon as possible."

Everyone took a break in the cafeteria and drank tea. When they heard that the auspicious time for laying the foundation stone was coming, another group of people walked to the intersection into the village in a mighty manner.

Lu Zhao didn't take the car, but walked out with the village chief. On the way, Lu Zhao looked around and asked the village chief about the situation in the village.

When they reached the intersection, the workers had already dug the foundation stone, put the foundation stone tied with red cloth aside, and hung two sets of firecrackers on the shelf. Everything was ready, just waiting for the foundation stone laying ceremony to begin.

Seeing Lu Zhao and his party coming, the captain of the construction team hurried over to say hello and told Lu Zhao that everything was ready and they were just waiting for them to preside over the foundation laying ceremony.

Lu Zhao made a request to the village chief, and the two of them took a brand new shovel from the workers and stood by the pit, waiting for the foundation stone to be lowered, then they symbolically went to the camera to plant a few shovels of soil in the pit, and then set off firecrackers , Even if the foundation laying ceremony was completed, the road construction machines were operating amidst the sound of firecrackers, and the villagers who came to watch excitedly applauded.

Lu Zhao and the village chief waited and watched at the intersection for a while, then turned back to the village on the same road, continuing the unfinished topic while walking.

Lu Zhao: "How many people live in the village now? I think there are quite a lot of houses in the village."

Village head: "There are more than 700 permanent residents. There are only about a hundred households. There used to be a little more, but some moved to other villages, and some went to work in the city and rarely came back. You see Some of the houses I arrived at have not been lived in for many years.”

Lu Zhao nodded: "So, there are quite a lot of people in that village."

Ms. Gao is more concerned about the education issues in the village: "There are so many people, how many children are there at the right age to go to school?"

Village head: "Well, there are about 15 children under the age of [-], and the older ones go out to work after they get married."

Ms. Gao was surprised: "There are so many children, what about their schooling problems?"

The village head said helplessly: "There is a school in the village, but it is just a large classroom converted from a granary. There are only dozens of children studying, all sitting in one classroom, and there is only one teacher. The teaching conditions are limited. This is also impossible. "

Ms. Gao was full of distress: "I'm sorry for the children here, Mr. Gao, can you show us the current school?"

The village chief pointed to the direction of the field and said, "Yes, of course, you can come with me. The children will be out of school soon."

Speaking of school, because today is not a holiday, Ruan Xishi did not give the children a holiday. It will be very hot outside, and the children can only sit in the classroom and listen to the class obediently. In the classroom, but the mind has long drifted out.

After Ruan Xishi finished writing on the blackboard, he turned around and saw a few children near the window looking out curiously. It's normal for them to be curious.

He even thought about giving the children a break in the afternoon to see if it was feasible.

But even if it was a holiday, the morning classes had to be finished properly. He knocked on the blackboard to get the children's attention and taught them to read the text.

The village head took Ms. Gao and her group to the outside of the classroom. As soon as they approached, they heard the sound of reading loudly inside. Ms. Gao approached the dilapidated window calmly, looked in through the broken glass window, and saw the podium There was a young boy standing on the top, pointing to the text on the blackboard word by word to teach the children to read.

This should be the only little teacher in the village that the reporters told her about. She looks a little smaller than in the video, and she is still a student, so she has to take on the responsibility of educating so many children.

Ms. Gao looked sad for a while.

The village chief also watched it for a while, and said when the time came: "The children are out of class, Ms. Gao, if you have anything to say to our little Ruan teacher, I will go and call him over."

Ms. Gao sniffed, nodded and said, "Then I will trouble you."

As soon as school was over, the children flew out like birds out of the cage. Ruan Xishi packed up his textbooks and planned to go home to have dinner with Lu Ze, but he was stopped by the village chief just as he walked out of the classroom door.He was a little strange, shouldn't the village head accompany the representative of Lucai Group to see the road construction at this time, why come to him when he has time?

He walked over suspiciously, and the village head said to him, "Shizai, the Hope Project has people here, and they want to see you."

Ruan Xishi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if seeing hope, he asked eagerly, "Where is it?"

The village chief said with a smile, "I'll take you to meet them. You will see people in a while to say hello. One of them is Mr. Lu of Lucai Group, and the other is Ms. Gao, the project director of Project Hope."

Ruan Xishi nodded repeatedly.

The author has something to say:

Yesterday, my dad suddenly told me that my neighbor’s uncle passed away from stomach cancer. I was quite shocked. Although I have not been in my hometown for a few years, every time I see that uncle, he is very energetic and able to work. He also raised a lot of pigs, planted a lot of land, and was busy working every day, not like a patient at all.My grandfather passed away in March last year, and he came to my house to help out. He brought a few bags of millet and milled rice by himself to our family for the funeral.When I went home during the Chinese New Year, I heard from my dad that he was sick, and he looked like he was going to die. I still didn’t believe it, because my uncle was a very capable image, and he was not yet 60 years old, but suddenly yesterday I heard that he passed away, it was hard to accept, life is really fragile.Rural life is not as good as imagined. The sanitary conditions are not good, and the medical conditions are not good. Once you get sick, it is difficult to find out and seek medical treatment in time. , It costs a lot of money, and many people do not seek medical treatment with the mentality of saving money and getting lucky. In my hometown, many middle-aged and elderly people die every year due to various diseases. It is really a pity.
