Chapter 755 Not for Alms
Shi Lei thought very clearly that as long as Sun Yiyi asked, it would be given to her. It was rare for Sun Yiyi to have such kindness.
But Sun Yiyi shook her head and said, "It's not about money. Those children are very simple and don't need much money. Our club also raised more than 10,000 yuan at the school last semester, which is enough for the children of one village." ”
"Then what do you want to do with me?"
Sun Yiyi seemed a little hesitant, but still said: "Yesterday the leader of our club called me and asked me to go to the school today. We held a meeting and said that for the children in that village, the school they attended was merged I went to a primary school in the countryside. There were too few students to maintain a school. But the teaching quality in the village has always been very poor. There were only two classes, one for the lower grade and one for the upper grade. In this case , the education they received was lagging behind that of regular primary schools in the countryside, especially the dozen or so children who were almost graduating from primary school, but what they had learned was only in the fourth and fifth grades. After the group leader learned the news , I discussed it with the school and wanted to find a few classmates to go there together and give those children extra lessons before school starts. Although I don’t know if it will be useful, at least it can help them not to be left too far behind when they arrive at the new school. …”
Shi Lei probably understood and said, "So, you want to go?"
Sun Yiyi looked into Shi Lei's eyes and said very seriously: "Well, I want to go."
"Does the school and your group leader want you to go, or do you want to go yourself?"
Sun Yiyi heard the meaning of Shi Lei's words and hurriedly explained: "The group leader didn't ask for anything, and neither did the school. But after all, I am a member of the club, and the school means to give priority to our club. After all, we are going to other places, and we have to After staying for a while, no one dares to make a decision easily. I asked my mother, and she said let me discuss it with you. "
"So, you want to go on your own?"
Sun Yiyi nodded and said: "I don't know about other students, but I really want to go. I can't do anything else now, but I also want to do something within my ability. Speaking of which, help the children in that village, It was me who contacted them. Moreover, I have been doing all the subsequent contact, so I feel that I have some responsibility for those children."
"Let's put aside our responsibilities and irresponsibility..." Shi Lei just walked to the door of a small restaurant and said, "Let's go in and order the food first, and then we'll talk slowly."
Sun Yiyi nodded obediently, and the two walked into the small restaurant.
Shi Lei ordered the food, poured a glass of water for Sun Yiyi, and said, "Drink some water first."
Sun Yiyi picked up the water glass but kept staring at Shi Lei. She didn't know if Shi Lei would agree with her idea and was worried that Shi Lei would object.
"Responsibility or not, let's put it aside for now. Where is the specific location of that village?"
"Actually, it's not too far. It's just in the north of our Jiangdong Province, but it's quite remote. After getting off the train, you have to take a bus for two or three hours. After arriving at the county seat, you can walk to the village. They don't even have long-distance buses there. But. People in the village said that if we could go, they would drive the village tractor to pick us up and would not really let us walk from the county seat to their village."
Shi Lei nodded again, his expression became a little serious, and he said: "This is also a small problem. In short, that village is only a few hundred kilometers away from Wu Dong, right?"
"I checked the map. It's more than 600 kilometers in total." Sun Yiyi took a sip of water, put it down, and added: "It's all the roads, including trains, buses and the roads from the county to the village."
"That's not bad. It won't be a big problem if I find a car to take you there directly. Then, it's time, when to go, and how long."
"The sooner the better, our group leader is going. She can't wait to leave early tomorrow morning. After all, there is not much time before the children start school. Oh, the group leader is also a girl, a senior senior sister. , she even said that if necessary, she doesn’t have any classes in her senior year anyway, so she can stay for a while and help those children make up more classes.”
Shi Lei also took a sip of water and asked: "What's the time? Is it until the start of school?"
"Absolutely, but it depends on the specific situation. Anyway, the school said that we can return to the school to report within one month of the start of the school year at most, but the premise is that we must ensure our studies. If we can't come back before the school starts, we may have to come back after we come back. Work harder.”
"Before the National Day, that's the latest time, right?"
Sun Yiyi nodded and said, "Absolutely. But I think it will be around mid-September at most. If the situation gets better, I might be able to come back before school starts."
Shi Lei waved his hand and said: "Then be ready until the eleventh day. The time is not bad. I'm not worried about your studies. You were able to make up for the whole semester's classes you missed last semester. , just one month is nothing to you. But, do you know the situation in their village? Accommodation, food, etc. Since it is a poor area, and the children in the village are not enough to run the school, Then there shouldn’t be many people in this village, right?”
"Well, most of the village is now made up of elderly people, and the young people are working outside. Children from the cities who can be brought to work have been taken away, and the remaining ones are not in very good conditions. Therefore, the number of people is slightly smaller, which leads to the failure of the primary school in their village to operate normally."
"That is to say, there shouldn't be a big problem if you spend some energy on accommodation. It's just that the sanitary conditions are a little worse. But, isn't it more difficult to eat? There are not many people in the village, and the transportation is not convenient. In addition, When it comes to poverty, have you ever carefully considered these issues?"
"The village told us that they will do their best to solve our food problem, and there will also be logistical support. The conditions may not be good, but they should be able to deal with it."
Sun Yiyi lowered her head and seemed a little timid: "Actually, I went there in April and didn't tell you. You were also busy at that time. At that time, we raised some donations and bought books and stationery, but we also We were afraid that the information provided by the other party was untrue and inaccurate, so the group leader and I went there in person with the books and stationery. Those children were very cute and eager to learn, but the conditions of the school were so poor that most of the teachers resigned Some resigned and others were transferred. When we went there, there were only three teachers in the school, one of whom was the mother of the village chief and a retired primary school teacher. They tried their best to make those children normal. I want to study, but I really don’t have the skills to do all the work..."
Shi Lei understood and said, "Are you sure it's okay for you to stay there for more than a month? Can you adapt? After all, staying for a few days and staying for a month are two completely different concepts."
"My mother and I have not lived a very good life in Wudong in the past two years. It may be more difficult there, but I think I should be able to cope with it." When she said this, Sun Yiyi raised her head and her eyes became particularly special. He was firm and his whole person exuded an aura of determination.
"Is there no problem with telephone and Internet access in the village?"
"Internet access may be difficult. You can only use your mobile phone to access the Internet, and the signal is not very good. But the phone should not be a big problem. The signal coverage may not be good in some places, but you can always get through."
