Chapter 1,651 The Roadblocker

1651

The man who walked out of the grass was wearing a little shabby clothing and looked to be in his sixties. He held a whip in his hand and looked at Xu Taiping's car as he walked.

The old man didn't say anything and drove the sheep around the car.

At this time, Zhou Yue'e also walked out of the car.

"From the city?" the old man asked in their local dialect.

"Well, I went to An Poverty Village to support teaching. Are you from An Poverty Village?" Zhou Yue'e asked.

Hearing this, the old man showed a simple and honest smile, nodded, walked to the back of the car, patted the trunk door, and said, "Is there anything good in there?"

"There are no good things, they are all for students!" Zhou Yue'e said, walked to Xu Taiping and said, "Let everyone get on the bus quickly, otherwise it will be too late when we arrive soon."

"Yes!" Xu Taiping nodded and glanced at the old man who was still lingering behind the car. Without saying anything more, he asked Chu Tian and others to get in the car quickly.

Chu Tian and others were almost vomiting at this time, and they all returned to the car together.

The car started again, and as soon as it started, it stopped immediately.

The car paused violently, causing those people who had just finished vomiting and still had little strength to hit the seats in front of them, and let out screams.

"What's going on?!" Xu Taiping frowned and stood up and looked forward.

Right in front of the car, I saw the old man who was driving the sheep standing there gracefully.

Zhou Yue'e frowned and stood up.

The driver opened the window and shouted. "Make way, old man."

The old man looked at the car lightly, and then raised three fingers.

"Give me thirty yuan." The old man said in blunt Mandarin.

Thirty dollars?

Everyone in the car was stunned for a moment. Are they blocking the road and asking for money?

Zhou Yue'e, who was in the car, walked to the front of the car angrily and shouted to the old man outside, "These are here to teach and help the poverty-stricken villages. Get out of the way."

"They city people, do they still need thirty yuan? Give me thirty yuan, or I won't leave." The old man said.

"Tell me if you are crazy about money. I am the women's director of Xidou Township. Get out of my way." Zhou Yuee said through gritted teeth.

"If you don't give me money, I won't leave." The old man said and sat down on the ground.

"I went to An Poverty Village to help, why are you like this!" Zhou Yuee said angrily.

"You're not helping me, it's none of my business," the old man said.

"It's better to give them money, we don't have time to waste here." The driver said.

"Give it to him." Xu Taiping said. To be honest, he didn't like such behavior, but he didn't want much, and he was in the wilderness right now. He was going to Anpo Village at around eight o'clock, so he couldn't be here. Time consuming.

A teacher from Jiangyuan University who was accompanying the group took out thirty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Yuee.

"I'm really sorry." Zhou Yue'e said apologetically, took the money, got out of the car, then walked to the car and handed the thirty yuan to the old man.

The old man who got the money smiled happily and stepped aside. Then, the minibus started and headed towards Anpo Village.

The atmosphere in the car was a bit solemn. No one expected that before they even arrived at An Poverty Village, they would encounter someone blocking the road and asking for money.

Some people say that unruly people come out of poor places. This seems to many people to be just a joke. However, when they actually go to such poor places and meet such people, they feel that this may actually be a bit true.

"Do you know now why the road can't be opened?" Zhou Yuee looked at Xu Taiping and said helplessly.

"Because of the villagers?" Xu Taiping asked.

"We planned to open a road a few years ago, but according to the plan, many houses along the road had to be demolished, and several graves had to be moved. The villagers said that this would affect the feng shui of the village, so they refused to demolish it. If they did not demolish it, Otherwise, the road would have to go a long way, so this plan was shelved." Zhou Yue'e said.

"Isn't the compensation adequate?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Wherever it falls short, a broken cowshed can get 20,000 yuan in compensation. Even if people don't want it, there's nothing you can do about it," Zhou Yue'e said.

"You don't want any money?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.

"Otherwise, how can we say that poor mountains and harsh waters breed unruly people. But it's okay now. Most of the young people in the village have gone out to work, and only some old people and children are left." Zhou Yue'e said.

"Understood!" Xu Taiping nodded.

The car continued to bump along the way to Anzhong Village.

Finally, at 8:30 in the morning, the car successfully arrived at the entrance of Anzhong Village.

The village party secretary and village director, who had received the news in advance, were already waiting at the entrance of the village with a group of people from the village.

The minibus stopped slowly, and then, led by Zhou Yue'e, Xu Taiping and others got out of the car.

"Secretary Lin, Director Zhao." Zhou Yuee greeted the village party secretary and village director.

The village party secretary and village director both looked to be in their forties, with dark skin, and they looked like they had been working in the fields a lot.

"You are finally here!" Secretary Lin of Anpo Village said with a smile on his face, "We have been waiting for you for a long time. Are these guys from the city?"

"We are from Jiangyuan University in Jiangyuan City!" Xu Taiping said.

"Jiangyuan City, a big city, a big city, why don't you guys go to the village to rest first?" Secretary Lin asked.

"No need for that, take us to the village primary school and give some of the things we brought to the students. By the way, are all the students here?" Xu Taiping asked.

"They are all here, they are all here. I heard that someone is coming to teach, so the students are very happy!" Secretary Lin said.

"Where is the primary school?" Xu Taiping asked.

"It's over there, just over a hundred meters away, but the road is a bit small and cars can't drive up it, so we have to walk up it!" Secretary Lin said.

"Then I'd like to trouble you all and move the things in the car up," Xu Taiping said.

"No problem, no problem, come on, let's all help move things!" Secretary Lin greeted, and then a group of people walked to the back of the minibus under the leadership of Secretary Lin.

Xu Taiping also brought people from Jiangyuan University to the back of the car. Then, some people took their luggage and others took aid items, and the group walked towards the elementary school.

Chu Tian pushed his two large suitcases and walked forward with difficulty.

Because she was coming for a week, she actually brought a lot of things, including a box for clothes and other items, and a box for cosmetics.

For Chu Tian, ​​even if he comes to teach, he must have a good quality of life.

Xu Taiping himself brought a schoolbag with some clothes and other things in it, which was just right for him to carry on his back.

"Why don't you help me?" Chu Tian pushed the two boxes and looked at Xu Taiping who was relaxed and said dissatisfiedly.

"I told you before not to bring so many things. Since you want to bring them, you have to carry them yourself." Xu Taiping walked forward without looking back.

"Asshole!" Chu Tian gritted his teeth and finally insisted on moving forward.

Soon, a primary school appeared in front of the group.

The elementary school is only three stories high and covers a small area. In front of the house is an open space with overgrown weeds and two basketball hoops that have been severely corroded and seem to break if hit.

There are five words hanging above the elementary school.

Anpocun Primary School.

"Do all students in our elementary school attend the same class?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Well, they all have the same class. The youngest is eight years old and the eldest is sixteen. Since there is only one teacher, they are put in the class together." Secretary Lin on the side said.

Xu Taiping nodded. If there are only twelve students, this is indeed necessary to ensure that educational resources are not wasted to the greatest extent.

As Xu Taiping and others arrived at the school playground, those who helped to get things also came to the playground.

Boxes were placed on the playground one after another. These boxes contained stationery, as well as milk, buns, ham sausages, instant noodles and other things.

Everything is stacked together like a small mountain.

"Take inventory." Xu Taiping said to a teacher from Jiangyuan University next to him.

The teacher nodded, then walked to the hill and started counting.

We are counting things here, and villagers are arriving one after another at the school gate.

Most of the villagers are old people. Of course, there are still a few young people in their twenties and thirties, but the number is very small.

These people gathered on the playground, craning their necks and staring at the people from Jiangyuan University.

Those people from Jiangyuan University had already sat down at this time. The playground had been decorated before and several stools had been visited. The people from Jiangyuan University sat on these stools and formed a circle around them. From time to time, the villagers could be heard saying something in their local dialect, and then some burst into laughter.

"Are all the students here?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Eleven are here, and one is not here!" Secretary Lin pointed to a group of people standing not far away.

Xu Taiping took a look at the group of people and found that almost everyone was thin, dark, and wearing school uniforms that were issued at some time.

"You're finally here!" A man in his fifties walked out of the teaching building excitedly and said.

"Let me introduce to you, this is the principal of our village primary school, Lin Shenghu." Secretary Lin introduced.

"Hello, principal!" Xu Taiping nodded along with the principal, and then shook hands.

The principal's hands were very rough, and it looked like he had done a lot of work.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Shenghu held Xu Taiping's hand with both hands and said, "Our elementary school, to be honest, is really short of too many things. The things you sent are enough for everyone to use for a while. Too much Thank you, on behalf of all the students, thank you.”

"This is all as it should be!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

At this time, the person in charge of inventorying supplies from Jiangyuan University came over with a frown.

"Director Xu, we just did the inventory. Two boxes of milk are missing, and one box of notebooks is missing." The person counting the supplies said.

"What?"
