This kind of mountain village is generally larger than that of mountain villages in plains. It takes more than twenty minutes to walk from the south to the north of the village.

There is a saying in China, "Even in the most difficult villages, the best house must be a school."

This sentence is correct. There are broken houses everywhere in Yuanshan Village. The only new house is Yuanshan Village Primary School, which is a three-story building not far from Ye Rongyao.

Compared with the broken walls and low houses in Yuanshan Village, this Yuanshan Village Primary School is a beautiful building.

Under the idea of ​​"no matter how hard it is, no matter how hard it is, no matter how poor it is, no matter how poor it is, education cannot be poor", the Chinese government has invested a lot in basic education, and some caring people in society have also donated money and materials to jointly build the "Hope School".

This "Yuanshan Primary School" was built by caring people in society.

This is also a landmark building in Yuanshan Village.

"This primary school is the best house in our Yuanshan Village. The village committees held meetings in this primary school, and Teacher Li Xia lives here."

As you approach this "Yuanshan Primary School", Zhang Tianshan introduced Ye Rongyao and the others.

"How many teachers and students do this school have?"

Liu Qingqing asked curiously.

"There are two teachers and one principal, and the principal also works as a part-time teacher, so there are three teachers, and there are about twenty students."

Zhang Tianshan said.

"After studying elementary school, do these children in the village study in the middle school in the town?"

Ye Rongyao thought about it and asked.

"Where can I read it? It's good to be able to recognize a few words after reading it in elementary school. As long as I don't know one big word like my father, I can't even get out of the door."

Zhang Tianshan shook his head and said.

This is a Hope Primary School in the village. You don’t need to spend any money. You can eat at home with three meals a day. If you have any work at home, this child can also help you.

But it is different to go to junior high school. When you go to junior high school, you have to study in the middle school in the town. You have to live in the school. The tuition and living expenses are very expensive. For the villagers of Yuanshan Village, it is really too difficult and basically cannot afford it.

As for letting your child go to college, it would be bankrupt and overwhelming.

Of course, it is not that no one in the village went to junior high school or high school. The families who could get their children in the family were all those in the village who married good families in the city and took money from their husbands' house to supplement their parents' houses to support their younger brothers and sisters.

This is why girls in the village are so keen to marry outside the village, even if they marry men with some physical defects or older, they will voluntarily.

On the one hand, they can help their family and give their younger brothers and sisters the hope. On the other hand, they don’t want to live a life of even food and clothing problems like their parents.

I have to say that children from poor families have become families early, and they think about reducing the burden on their families very early.

"So too, my sister, because her family is poor, she hasn't finished junior high school."

Speaking of this matter, Ye Rongyao felt particularly heavy.

In this regard, Ye Rongyao always feels that he owes his sister a lot.

Because if my sister continues to study with her academic performance, she may be the manager of a large company now.

"husband"

Liu Qingqing felt that Ye Rongyao was in a heavy mood, and reached out and held Ye Rongyao's big hand tightly.

"I'm fine!"

Ye Rongyao turned his head and said to Liu Qingqing.

"Teacher Li Xia, Teacher Li Xia, there are people in the city to see you!"

As soon as he arrived at the teaching building of Yuanshan Village Primary School, Zhang Tianshan shouted at the top of his throat.

After shouting, he didn't hear any movement inside. Zhang Tianshan smiled and said to Ye Rongyao: "Maybe he went to the ground, let's wait here."

"good!"

Ye Rongyao nodded and said.

Along the way, Ye Rongyao also learned about the situation of Yuanshan Village Primary School. There are three teachers in the first to sixth grades. There were originally five teachers and one principal.

However, those foreign teachers from the mountains could not bear the pain here and left Yuanshan Village one after another. Only Li Xia, the foreign teacher, was left, and the other two were villagers of Yuanshan Village.

These two, one is a substitute teacher and the other is a substitute teacher and principal. They are the most knowledgeable people in Yuanshan Village and both graduated from junior high school.

Because when Yuanshan Village Primary School was first built, there was no teacher at all, these two women with the highest cultural level in Yuanshan Village were allowed to marry into the substitute teachers and principals.

Later, the government also sent teachers to teach, but basically they could not be kept, only Li Xia, the teacher, still here.

Li Xia is now the most educated person in Yuanshan Village and the most respected person in Yuanshan Village. Even the secretary and village chief of Yuanshan Village should respectfully call "Teacher Li" when he sees Li Xia.

The other teachers are from Yuanshan Village and are home after class. Li Xia lives on the third floor of this school. Because there are few students, many classrooms are empty. Several classrooms on the third floor are sorted out to be dormitories for teachers.

"Teacher Li is here!"

Zhang Tianshan also saw Li Xia coming from a distance with sharp eyes.

Li Xia also noticed Ye Rongyao and others under the teaching building, hurriedly ran over and said to Ye Rongyao excitedly: "Mr. Ye, why are you here?"

After all, in this isolated mountain, except for these simple villagers in Yuanshan Village, Li Xia basically couldn't see people outside.

If it weren't for the eyes of these children who longed for knowledge, Li Xia would have left like other teachers in a few months for these poor children.

"I said that I want to come to Yuanshan Village, why don't I welcome me?"

Ye Rongyao said with a smile.

“Welcome, welcome.”

Li Xia said happily.

I really didn't expect that Li Xia really didn't expect that Ye Rongyao really came to Yuanshan Village, a remote place, to see him.

"Let me introduce you to this, my wife Liu Qingqing, this is my assistant Fang Bolin."

Ye Rongyao introduced.

"Welcome, welcome you."

Li Xia was a little surprised at Liu Qingqing's beauty, but she soon came to her senses and said to Liu Qingqing and Fang Bolin.

"Thank you, what's on your hands?"

Fang Bolin looked at the vegetables in Li Xia's hand in confusion, mainly because Fang Bolin had never seen such vegetables before.

"This is Chinese cabbage, which is grown by the villagers. When I cook every day, I will pick some from the villagers' fields to cook. You also know that in this mountain, there is no place to buy vegetables. Everyone eats their own vegetables. I just take advantage of it and pick some from the villagers' fields."

Li Xia said with a smile.

"Teacher Li Xia, you are the most important person in our Yuanshan Village. What is this dish? By the way, are there any eggs left? I will send some more here!"

Zhang Tianshan said.

"No need for Uncle Tianshan. You have already sent a lot of eggs and duck eggs, and I can't finish them."

Li Xia waved her hand and said.

People in Yuanshan Village are very simple and know that Li Xia is not easy to live in Yuanshan Village. Everyone often brings meat and vegetables to Li Xia, and asks Li Xia to pick vegetables in their fields.

This is also the reason why Li Xia did not leave here with other teachers. The people here are so kind to him, and at least he has to complete the teaching task before he can go.

Otherwise, I would be sorry to the villagers of Yuanshan Village and the children who long for knowledge.

"Boss Ye, I'll go first. I'll invite you to my house for a drink tonight."

Zhang Tianshan said to Ye Rongyao.

"OK."

Ye Rongyao nodded and said.

"Sorry, the room is a little messy."

Li Xia asked Ye Rongyao and the others to enter their dormitory and said embarrassedly.

"Your place is very clean. You don't know that Uncle Zhang's house just now, that one."

"Ahem"

Ye Rongyao coughed a few times, interrupting Fang Bolin's words.

After all, Ye Rongyao doesn't want to hear this kind of disgusting Zhang Tianshan's family for being dirty and stinky.

If living conditions are acceptable, who is willing to live in the same house with poultry, who is willing to be dirty and stinky? Isn’t this all caused by poverty?

"I won't talk about that anymore. Li Xia, are you used to it in this remote mountain village?"

Fang Bolin immediately changed her words.

"At the beginning, I was very uncomfortable and I thought about leaving here every day."

Li Xia said with a smile.

"But you stay here in the end?"

Liu Qingqing asked in confusion.

"Yes, everyone else has left, but I don't know how I stayed."

Li Xia shook her head and said.
