Chapter 253 A School in the Mountains
On the rugged mountain road, the car was shaking and bumping, and the people in the car were jolting all morning. At this time, they felt that their internal organs were about to be thrown out of their bodies.
Fortunately, we finally reached our destination—a few tile houses.
"Sister Qiong, we're here." The girl gently called out Li Muqiong.
Li Muqiong raised his head and looked out the car window.
There are several tile houses at the foot of the mountain backed by the green hills. The red brick walls made of cement are painted white, but they are very rough.
The roof is covered with reddish-brown tiles, and many of the tiles on the edge have been damaged. Several tile houses are surrounded by walls made of big stones, and the gaps between the stones are pasted with yellow mud. A yard is enclosed in front of the tile house.
Naturally, the ground in the yard is also the loess ground, full of potholes, which has become as hard as steel under the scorching sun.However, it is foreseeable that when it rains, the iron-like yellow mud will turn into a muddy soup.
It was empty in the yard, as if there was no one there, but through the window, you could see many curious eyes cast from the tile house.
"get off."
Li Muqiong yelled hoarsely, then picked up a sun hat with a big brim on his right hand and put it on his head.
People in the car started to get out of the car when they heard the sound.
"Sister Qiong, why don't you rest in the car for a while." The woman looked at Li Muqiong worriedly.
"No need, I'm much better, get off the car." Li Muqiong said with a smile.
A group of people got out of the car and walked through a wide-open iron door in the stone yard.
In the tile house, a middle-aged teacher with glasses saw that the children's attention was attracted by the outside, and quickly knocked on the blackboard to attract the children's attention.
"Copy the poem on the blackboard and check it later." The middle-aged teacher said seriously, with a unique accent in Shuzhou. Although his face was serious, he spoke softly.
Hearing this, the children took out a clean white book from the desk one after another, their movements were gentle and cautious, as if they were holding a precious treasure.
The middle-aged teacher put down the chalk in his hand, quickly opened the door of the classroom and walked out, and greeted a group of people who came in from the gate of the fence.
At first glance, the person leading the group was a pale-faced woman wearing a sunhat.
"Hi, you are Director Li Muqiong, right? I am the principal here, so my surname is Wang." Principal Wang watched Li Muqiong greet him, and said enthusiastically.Just as she was about to reach out to shake hands with Li Muqiong, she found that her hands were covered with chalk dust. She hurriedly wiped her clothes, but found that they were still not clean.
"My hands are too dirty, so I won't shake hands with you." Principal Wang laughed, a little embarrassed.
"It's okay." Li Muqiong smiled kindly.
"We brought paper and pens, clothes, and some extracurricular books to the children. There are also some other supplies." Li Muqiong said with a smile, pointing to a group of people outside the fence who were carrying things to the yard.
"Oh, thank you so much. You must stay at noon, and I will treat you to a meal." Principal Wang looked at the boxes that were constantly being delivered, his eyes bright.
"Success, then I will trouble you." Li Muqiong said with a smile.
"No trouble, no trouble." Principal Wang said quickly, waving his hands.
"You don't look good. Are you sick? Why don't you go and take a rest first." Principal Wang noticed Li Muqiong's pale face and said slightly worriedly.
"It's okay, I'm just a little uncomfortable."
Then Li Muqiong paused, because she found pairs of curious eyes on the windows of the tile house.
If you look carefully, you can see children who look like mud monkeys.
They were all wearing shabby dirty clothes, and their faces were also dirty. Many children had two lively green and yellow snakes hanging under their noses.
But they all have one thing in common, their eyes are extraordinarily bright, as if they are full of curiosity about the whole world, and their eyes are bright and clean, which is the eyes that most children in cities gradually lose.
Many children looked at the new clothes in the opened boxes in the yard, their eyes full of longing.
Principal Wang followed Li Muqiong's gaze and turned around, and found a row of students on the window. His face was embarrassed, and he quickly said: "I'm sorry to make you laugh. These children are too curious when they see you."
"It's okay, you can go to work first." Li Muqiong said with a smile.
"Okay, excuse me then."
After all, Principal Wang walked back to the classroom, and the children on the window hurriedly left the window when they saw this. When Principal Wang opened the classroom door, the children in the tiled house had already behaved honestly in their seats. When he entered, they all looked at him brightly.
Principal Wang looked annoyed and funny.
Li Muqiong followed a group of volunteers in the yard to sort the items into categories.Then he looked at the surrounding environment. There were four tiled houses, but only the largest one by Principal Wang was in use. The other one was slightly smaller and contained a bed and some daily necessities. The other one was full of things. Dust, and a small room is the cafeteria of this simple school.
Soon, a class is over.
The children were led out by Principal Wang in line, filling up the small venue.
Li Muqiong counted silently in his heart, and found that there were 46 children. They looked at Li Muqiong and his party with fear and curiosity in their eyes.When I looked at the new books and clothes in front of me, I was full of longing again.
Soon under the leadership of Principal Wang, Li Muqiong led a group of people to distribute things to these children.
Textbooks, pens and paper, and new clothes.
The supplies will be distributed soon.
The children looked at the things in their hands with sparkling eyes, and they were a little reluctant to reach out and touch them, for fear of breaking them.
Then a group of people moved out of the car to get flour, rice, cooking oil, and dried bacon.One by one, they were moved to the school cafeteria.
The lady in the cafeteria smiled brightly at the wrinkled face of the high pile of grain.
lunch.
There are several large pots set up on the playground, filled with vegetables and steamed buns.
The children lined up to serve the dishes. Looking at the fragrant dishes, they all craned their necks to look at them eagerly.Li Muqiong and other volunteers also followed the children and made meals alone.
A group of people either returned to the car, or squatted on the spot in the shade of the wall and sucked up. The food was not rich, but they ate with gusto.
After eating and drinking, some volunteers played with the children here.
There are shuttlecocks, badminton, and football and basketballs, which are also the sports equipment they brought casually.
Li Muqiong was sitting under the sun, with Principal Wang sitting beside him.
"Is there no other teacher here?" Li Muqiong asked.
Hearing this, Principal Wang said with a smile: "It's just me, I can't keep teachers here. But occasionally there are volunteers who come to teach for a few days."
Li Muqiong nodded, and then looked at the dusty classroom.
"That room looks like a classroom to me, why is it empty?"
"Originally, there were more than 70 children here, and then more than 30 were called back by the family one after another. The two classrooms are inconvenient, so I gathered the children in one classroom." Principal Wang said with a smile, It seems to be telling a very ordinary thing.
Li Muqiong listened quietly, she was not surprised by it, because she knew that such things, such schools, were everywhere in China.
