Chapter 597: Human Life Is Worse than Insects
November is already winter, but in places like Yunnan Province, the weather is still quite warm, giving people an autumn feeling.
The wind is a little cool but not cold, and the setting sun is rosy, like a cooked salted duck egg.
After talking about cooking, Aunt Du and Lin Mumu have become closer, and she actually took the initiative to mention the matter of Honghe Village:
"Teacher Xiaolin, it's a good thing that you care about students, but you should also pay attention to safety. I know this child, Azhuna, she is smart, but she doesn't have a good father. Alas, we outsiders can't control it."
"That's what I said, Aunt Du, although you are not a school teacher, your heart for students is no worse than that of the principal. Just tell me about Azhuna. It's a pity if such a good child is ruined because of family affairs." Lin Mumu didn't mention Hongliu Village, but only talked about her student Azhuna.
Lin Mumu still understood the principle of tying one thing to another.
Yun Ting touched Lin Mumu's head approvingly, and didn't say anything, just listened to the women talking quietly.
"What can we do? This is fate. The lives of us poor people are the least valuable, and women's lives are even less valuable. Sometimes human lives are not as valuable as a few insects."
"Aunt Du, you are exaggerating. Although our place is remote, we have schools. They can go to junior high school, high school and college in the future. How can there be no hope? Even if we are poor, people are more valuable than insects." Lin Mumu knew what the insects Aunt Du was talking about were, but she was still pretending to be confused.
Aunt Du was about to say something, but when she saw the fields of Hongliu Village in front of her, she suddenly panicked, pulled Lin Mumu's sleeve, and tried to persuade her:
"Teacher Xiaolin, Teacher Yun, when you go to Hongliu Village, you must follow me closely, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. We Yun people are sometimes particularly xenophobic."
"I know, I just want Ah Zhuna to go back to school. Other things have nothing to do with me. I won't be greedy and steal the sour dates in their fields."
"Teacher Lin is joking. Sour dates grow in the fields, not on trees. But now it's past the season, and there are only bare trees, no sour dates. If you want to eat them, I still have some at home, and I'll bring them back to you later."
"..."
How do you write the word shame? !
The foodie attribute that was hidden well seems to have been accidentally exposed.
Ah Zhuna's family lives at the entrance of the village, in a relatively large fortress-like earthen house.
"Ah Zhuna." Lin Mumu saw Ah Zhuna and called her name.
Ah Zhuna was drying licorice in the yard, and suddenly heard Lin Mumu's voice, her eyes were red: "Teacher Lin, are you here to see me?"
"Well, tell the teacher why you didn't go to school today? Don't you know that it's wrong to skip classes casually?" At this time, Lin Mumu couldn't think of any way to investigate the enemy, she was really a little angry.
"Teacher Lin, I was wrong." Ah Zhuna lowered her head and dared not say a word, but still warmly invited Lin Mumu and others to sit at home.
In the Yun tribe, girls mature early, regardless of the marriage law of any country, anyway, they get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
Ah Zhuna is ten years old this year. Although she hasn't grown up yet, she is more mature than ordinary Han girls. Cooking and housework at home are also done.
"Ah Zhuna, if you have any difficulties, tell the teacher, understand?" Lin Mumu glanced at the situation in the room, and sensitively found a bamboo basket in the corner of their house, which was full of insects!
