A different life with a system reborn

Chapter 231 Shock
"Boss, here are two pots of boiling water and a few buckets of instant noodles. There are mosquito coils in them. The mosquitoes are very fierce here in the mountainous area. It is much better to order a box. There is no bathroom indoors. There is a well in the yard on the first floor. You can get water there. Wash up, and then there is a toilet in the corner. They are all cleaned. You can use it without worry. If a lady wants to take a bath, she can only fetch water to the toilet. But remember to arrange for someone to stand outside the door to avoid misunderstandings caused by others. "

The guide took two old-fashioned hot water bottles and put them under the desk. Then he said a few words and placed the bags containing instant noodles and mosquito coils on the table.

In fact, everyone in the guest house knew that they were here to inspect the construction of Hope Primary School, which was a good thing, so he greeted the other residents so that they would not disturb them.

"Okay, thank you."

Zhao Dongsheng smiled. He ate the dinner in a hurry and was really hungry now. These instant noodles came just in time.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. You can rest. We're right next door. Call us if you need anything."

The guide said politely and went out, closing the door behind him.

"You guys sit down for a while. I'll make some instant noodles for you. You can eat them later and then rest."

Zhao Dongsheng asked Zhang Yuexin to continue sitting, walked over, opened the instant noodles, and made a box for each person.

The taste of instant noodles is so attractive before eating. Smelling the aroma of instant noodles, Wang Cong and Zhang Yuexin seemed to be energetic.

"It smells really good. It's the first time I feel so tired from riding in a car."

Wang Cong held the instant noodles and sat on the bed without fear of burning them. He ate them in big mouthfuls and couldn't help but let out a sigh after taking two bites.

"This is just the beginning. After dinner, you can take a towel and go downstairs to wash it down. The environment is like this. Get over it. Yuexin, you can also go to the toilet and wash it down later. The road is very dusty. I'll help you later. You hold the door."

Zhao Dongsheng was also eating instant noodles and said something to Wang Cong and Zhang Yuexin.

A box of instant noodles actually only lasts a few mouthfuls. After finishing it, I even felt that it was not enough, but I couldn’t muster the energy to make a second box.

"I'm going down first."

Finally, everyone finished their instant noodles and drank some soup. Wang Cong went down first with a towel and bucket.

"Let's go."

Zhao Dongsheng looked at Zhang Yuexin, then walked downstairs and squatted at the door of the toilet to smoke a cigarette. Zhang Yuexin was very fast. After Zhao Dongsheng finished smoking, Zhang Yuexin had already walked out of it.

Zhao Dongsheng took Zhang Yuexin's bucket, took the towel from his shoulder, stood by the well to get a bucket of water, and then stood in the yard and wiped his body.

When he returned to the dormitory, Wang Cong was already lying on the upper bunk, snoring and falling asleep.

"You go to bed early, don't do these things now, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Zhao Dongsheng looked at Zhang Yuexin sitting on the bed opposite, writing something down with a pen, and couldn't help but say something.

"Okay, I'll end it right away, good night."

Zhang Yuexin nodded.

"Good night."

The room was lit with mosquito coils, so the windows were not closed. There was an occasional breeze when lying on the bed, and Zhao Dongsheng fell asleep almost instantly.

"Drip drip..."

When the alarm clock rang, Zhao Dongsheng immediately got up from the bed, woke up Zhang Yuexin and Wang Cong, washed up a little, stopped eating, called the guide and walked out.

The group of people did not take a car, but followed the guide in the direction of the school in the dim light.

As they walked, the sky became brighter and brighter. In less than 10 minutes, Zhao Dongsheng and his party saw a building standing quietly on a flat land in the distance.

The two-story building is covered with tiles, and the old-fashioned doors and windows. Zhao Dongsheng and his party can see the old-fashioned classroom doors and nine-frame old windows painted red from a distance. In front of the building is a slanted wooden pole. , the wooden pole stood tall, with this red flag flying above it.

If you get closer, you can see a photo of a great man hanging under the eaves in the middle of the second floor of the building.

Before you even get to the root, a strong atmosphere of the times can be seen.

But these cannot shock Zhao Dongsheng and the others.

"What's that over there?"

Zhao Dongsheng knew that the building was the primary school, but 100 meters away from the building, on the side close to the mountain, there was a dense group of simple cabins. From a rough look, there were probably nearly a hundred of them.

At this time, smoke was coming out of the small wooden houses, and the scene was quite shocking.

"Those are dormitories for students. This primary school is the only primary school in a radius of 168 square kilometers. Those rural children from far away want to come to study. The farthest one is nearly [-] kilometers away. They can't go back and forth four or five times a day. They come to class for hours, so there are these houses, these are their residences at night."

The guide's tone was a little dull, and his simple words contained too much sadness.

"Are you accompanied by your parents?"

Zhao Dongsheng was silent for a while after hearing this, and then asked slowly.

"No, parents don't have time to accompany them to study. You have seen the environment here all the way. If you come to accompany them to study, there will be one less labor force in the family. In that case, many students will not be able to even pay the tuition."

The guide explained lightly.

"Let's go, go and have a look first."

Zhao Dongsheng took the lead and walked that way.

From a distance, there are densely packed wooden houses, which look quite large, but when you get closer, you find that these wooden houses are quite simple, about two meters high, very simple.

The three sides were nailed with wooden boards, and the roof was covered with tiles to prevent water leakage. There were dry firewood piled at the door, and the simple wooden door was left open casually.

Zhao Dongsheng was standing outside the door of a wooden house. Inside, several children about one meter tall were eating around the fire in the middle. All of them were dressed in shabby clothes and covered with dust.

"These children share a room. They go back once a week, and each time they bring a week's worth of food. They cook and eat together, and then go to school after eating."

The guide sat on the edge and explained.

"They are all still primary school students, sir. Are you relieved?"

Wang Cong felt his mouth was a little dry, licked his lips and asked dryly, although he already knew the answer.

"They are all primary school students. When we make arrangements, we will try our best to let the older children take care of the younger ones. They... all come here like this, one group leads another. There is nothing to worry about, they all come here this way. .”

The guide did his best to tell the facts one by one.

"Go in and have a look."

Zhao Dongsheng walked inside with Zhang Yuexin, Wang Cong and the guide. Several children who were eating saw the strangers and looked at them curiously, but they did not stop taking food into their mouths.

The house is very simple, the children are squatting, and there are a few broken bamboo boards placed in the corners. They are covered with dust and no one sits on them.
