At half past five in the evening, the school ended on time, because some students went to school every day, and some who lived not too far away would go home every weekend, so Xiao Muyou asked Chen Li and Zhou Jing to take her afternoon

Several cartons of milk brought back from the county town were distributed one by one.

As for the students who live on campus, they have already arrived at the cafeteria. Seeing that there is extra food tonight, they all showed expectant eyes. After all, they are children. When they see delicious food, they can't help but take a second look.

Xiao Muyou and the others didn't ask for any special treatment. They had the same dinner as the children, and she happened to meet the senior children she met at the door of the library in the morning.

"Aren't you guys going home on the weekend?"

Xiao Muyou took the dinner plate and sat down next to these classmates. It was obvious that these children were a little reserved. At first they wolfed down the food, but now they ate it one bite at a time.

Xiao Muyou didn't expose it when she saw it. She believed that these children would relax after getting along slowly.

Seeing that someone was asking them questions, and it was the older sister who came to deliver books and school supplies to them, one of the little boys, the one who told them about Teacher Wu in the morning, spoke up.

"Our villages are too far away, so we always go home every half month."

"Can you tell me what your names are?"

Xiao Muyou asked casually.

The little boy didn't hesitate and said directly.

"My name is Liu Xiaoming, and I am in Class 1, Grade 5."

"My name is Zhang Guoer..."

"My name is Xu Qiangqiang..."

"My name is Lu Gao."

After Liu Xiaoming opened his mouth, several other children also chattered and began to introduce themselves. They were all fifth-grade students. Now there are two fifth-grade classes in this school, with about twenty-five students in each class. The sick teacher Wu before

I taught them English at that time.

"Where are your parents? Are they working at home or outside?"

"My father delivers food in Shanghai, and my mother is there too. They said they would take me there to attend junior high school after I graduate from elementary school, but I don't want to go there."

Liu Xiaoming said, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his father delivering food, but he felt very proud of this profession.

When Xiao Muyou heard this, he was a little puzzled. Shencheng is a special economic zone in the south. It can be said that it is a big city with an economy not inferior to Kyoto. It is definitely better to go to that city to study than to stay here.

"Why? Don't you like being with your parents?"

Liu Xiaoming shook his head and said.

"I don't want to be separated from my classmates and teachers here. Zhang Xiaohua from our village is now studying in junior high school in Shencheng. He said that he didn't know anyone there when he first arrived, and everything there requires money. It's not easy for parents to make money. I think

It doesn’t matter where you go to school.”

Hearing this, Xiao Muyou felt a little heavy. From the perspective of adults, they felt that it would be more beneficial for children to study in big cities for their future development, but they ignored the children's own demands. Their ideas were very simple. They wanted to be with

The classmates and teachers I know well are together.

These children, who have been accustomed to life in the mountains since childhood, suddenly come to a strange big city. To be honest, whether it is study or all aspects of life, it takes a long process to get familiar with and integrate.

But it seems that adults can't help much, especially those migrant workers who are running around day and night in big cities for survival, and they ignore the feelings of children.

"Liu Xiaoming, but Zhang Xiaohua also said that the schools in Shencheng are better than ours. They have computers there, and there are foreigners who call them English. Look at the last time he came back, he spoke English so well, and the last time he came back

What kind of tablet do you have with you? You can watch TV directly on it."

Zhang Guoer, who lives in the same village as Liu Xiaoming, spoke up. It was obvious that she hoped to leave here and go to a big city to study.

But after Zhang Guoer finished speaking, Liu Xiaoming snorted and said in disapproval.

"Huh, I don't like it there anyway. Zhang Xiaohua only spends money randomly there. It's not easy for his parents to work hard to make money. He doesn't even know how to save a little for his parents and waste it."

Hearing this, Xiao Muyou didn't know what to say. Should he say that the Liu Xiaoming in front of him was precocious, or should he feel sorry for his intelligence and sensibleness.

In the final analysis, Liu Xiaoming wanted to stay here to study. It was probably just one of the reasons that he wanted to leave the teachers and students he was familiar with. The more reason was that he didn't want his parents to waste money.

Don't look at the current nine-year compulsory education tuition fee, but look at the children in big cities. Which one does not cost money? Not to mention that tablet computers are a necessity in many schools, but those in off-campus training institutions do not cost money.

Of course, you can not participate in anything, but this will only marginalize your child, because other children can either play a musical instrument, dance, or draw. When it is your turn, you will know nothing.

Can't blend in either.

Xiao Muyou thinks so, not that these are bad, but that the current education has indeed begun to promote morality, intelligence, physical education, art, and labor. However, this kind of development requires a process. There are still many remote places that do not even have basic education.

If you can't perfect it, who will develop something else for you?

Xiao Muyou didn't know what to say. She also knew that changing the status quo would not happen overnight and she couldn't do it by herself, so she could only remain silent.

Fortunately, the meal ended quickly. Although the party hadn't started yet, many students had already gathered in the playground, and Xiao Muyou and the others also walked over there.

There is only one music teacher in the school, and there is only one who is responsible for music classes for all ages in the school. This is the current situation of the mountain school.

There is a lack of teachers, a lack of equipment, and a lack of attention.

The only music-related instrument on the playground is an old piano, and its pitch is a little out of balance.

Fortunately, Xiao Muyou and others brought guitars this time, and Zhang Shijie also brought the harmonica, which he is good at. In addition, the children here are not shy. No matter how the performance is, they will go up first.

"Look at these children, they are carefree and innocent. They never feel how miserable it is here, but they are very satisfied."

"Sister Ma, why do you suddenly have so many insights?"

When Xiao Muyou heard Ma Huixin's words next to him, he smiled slightly and asked.

"Hey, it's not an insight. I just think it was better when I was a child. I didn't have to worry about anything, as long as I could study. It's not like us. We have to work hard for life and family, and work to make money.

, I still can’t express my emotions too directly, the adult world is too complicated.”

"Huixin, it seems that you didn't have a good chat with these children today. They are only superficially happy. They each have their own unspeakable pain."

At this time, Zhang Shijie came over and said, obviously, he knows the children here better than Ma Huixin. Xiao Muyou listened and nodded in agreement. Just like Liu Xiaoming, he looks optimistic and cheerful, but he also has his own

Tangle and contradiction.

"The little girl who sang on the stage just now is called Hu Xin. Although she smiled so happily, I learned from her teacher that her life experience was very rough. Her mother died of illness when she was less than one year old.

She grew up with her grandparents, and her father worked outside. But when she was ten years old, her father fell down at a construction site and died on the spot. It is said that the boss only compensated them 50,000 yuan. A human life is only worth 50,000 yuan? "

Speaking of this, Zhang Shijie was a little indignant. In this age, people are still trampling on human life like this. But Hu Xin's grandparents couldn't read a word, and Hu Xin was young, so they accepted this unfair reality.

"The year before last, her grandparents went out to go to the market. Unexpectedly, they encountered a landslide when they came back. Her grandfather died on the spot, and her grandmother also broke a leg and now has difficulty moving. Now the grandfather and grandson are basically living on subsistence allowances. I heard

Hu Xin's class teacher said that the child's grades were very good and he had a good chance of being admitted to the county high school. However, the cost of one semester of high school was more than 1,000 yuan, not including living expenses, so it seemed that the child did not intend to continue studying until he graduated from the third year of junior high school.

Maybe I have to go out to work."

When Zhang Shijie said this, he felt a little uncomfortable. He also had a daughter who only entered junior high school this year. Maybe they were about the same age, so Zhang Shijie felt particularly sorry for this girl named Hu Xin.

"Brother Zhang, do you have any ideas?"

Xiao Muyou is not stupid. Zhang Shijie suddenly mentioned Hu Xin, so he must have some plans.

"Mr. Xiao, although we say this is a charity event to send books to the mountains, this child named Hu Xin is really pitiful. If his grades are average and he has no hope of being admitted to high school, then he will just feel a little young when he goes out to work after graduation.

That's all, but her class teacher said that as long as this child can study, she will definitely achieve great things in the future, so you can see if we can help her."

After Zhang Shijie finished speaking, Ma Huixin and Chen Li beside him also nodded, and Chen Li said directly.

"Boss, don't we have a charity fund every year? How about adding this child to the support list?"

Xiao Muyou didn't have much reason, and she believed that Zhang Shijie must have carefully understood Hu Xin's experience, otherwise he would never bring it up so easily.

"In this way, tomorrow Lao Zhang and Chen Li will go to Principal Chen to find out more about other children in the school who have difficulties in this area. However, there should not be too many such lists. Let's say there are only five lists. The specific ones

, we still need to send people to have a thorough understanding before making a decision."

When Xiao Muyou said this, Zhang Shijie and the others had no objection. They all knew why Xiao Muyou wanted to restrict the list. It was not because of their villainy, but because over the years, some greedy and petty people always appeared in every charity activity.
