Chapter 457: There Are Books to Read
After walking through the mountain road in Tongcang Village once, I actually don’t want people to walk it a second time.
In fact, if you were a normal person, after visiting Tongcun Village, you would only lament the difficult living conditions in Tongcun Village.
But if they were asked to come a second time, it would probably be impossible.
A few kilometers of mountain road is just a trivial matter. The biggest problems are the slippery and muddy ground, the frightening small-scale landslides, and the gravel that will roll down at any time.
A piece of gravel the size of a human head is scary enough, let alone a larger landslide.
But it turns out that these unlucky things don't happen every time. At least Li Yi and others have walked half of the mountain road, and the sky is still clear and there is no sign of rain. It is indeed God's gift. face.
Li Zixi and Zhang Yi had walked through a mountain road before. Although it was not this road, the road they took before was steeper and more difficult.
So looking back at this path now, it’s actually not a problem.
Needless to say, Li Yi was young and energetic. Although his thoughts were much beyond his original age, his actions also gave people a mature and steady feeling.
But after all, my body is still that of a 20-year-old, so naturally I won't be too tired.
The only one who had a little difficulty was actually Chen Ruqing.
But Chen Ruqing also pays great attention to health care, so although he is about to be fifty years old, his body is actually the same as that of a man in his forties. Don't think that the mayor doesn't know how to exercise and does not fall behind every day. I run in the morning and at night, and even if I occasionally have trouble finding time, I will do some simple exercises in my room.
So the four of them had walked nearly half the distance, and still no one was left behind.
Zhang Yi and Li Zixi came directly to teach, so they brought their luggage with them.
As for the teaching materials, they were brought to the village along with the food last time, so there won’t be any big problem.
It was a lot easier this time. After Li Yi came to Tongshan Village this time, he probably wouldn't come again in the short term. After all, the food processing factory in Kaoshan Village had just started to improve, and it had to be completely on track before Li Yi could let go with confidence.
When I come to Tongshan Village this time, I will go back to implement the issue of building roads in Tongshan Village.
There are many places like Tongshan Village in the entire Dragon Kingdom, and some villages are even more secretive than Tongshan Village. Even a census may not be able to find them.
Li Yi's purpose is also very simple. He will help when he sees it. When encountering injustice, it is always right to have compassion first.
The reason why he did this is very simple. Li Yi doesn't want more and more money in his pocket to have less and less conscience.
Another hour later, Li Yi and his party came to Tongcang Village again, and happened to meet the village chief who had just finished his farm work, as well as a group of young people in the village.
As for the children, there is a small lake behind the village. Every time it is noon, the children go back to the lake to catch fish. If they catch big fish, they can have a hearty meal at noon.
The water in the small lake is actually not very deep. The edge of the lake is just above the knees. Every time the children go to the lake, there will be seven or eight young people with good water skills watching. Once a child goes there, When the water is deep, these young and strong people with good water properties will immediately follow. Although there are more than a thousand households in the village, every household regards the children in the village as their own children.
Li Yi has been here twice before, and he must be the clearest about the situation in the village. The village chief also said it specifically for him. The current living conditions in the village are very good. With a lot of meat in stock, every household is relieved. Some, some meat is hung directly to dry, and some is directly made into dried meat. In a place like this, meat is not often available, and food is very economical. Basically, it all relies on the lake behind the village. Inside the lake The palm-sized freshwater fish is a rare and meaty fish.
As soon as the village chief saw Li Yi coming, he immediately put down the hoe in his hand. Perhaps it was because Li Yi had seen the village chief again and again, and the village chief was carrying a hoe. This time he saw that the benefactor had no place to put his hands and feet. , I felt a little regretful for a while, so I might as well come over with a hoe.
"Boss Li, why are you here? The mountain road is so difficult to walk, it's so inconvenient to go back and forth!"
Li Yi smiled and said:
"I'm not a big boss who doesn't work hard and doesn't distinguish between grains and grains. I'm just a businessman who makes a small amount of money. How can I be inconvenient? By the way, let me introduce you to the village chief. This is Li Zixi. This person is Zhang Yi, and he will live in Tongcang Village and serve as the children’s teacher, teaching them how to read and write!”
Li Zixi stepped forward with a smile, not caring that the village chief had just returned from the fields, and directly stretched out his hand:
"Hello, village chief, my name is Li Zixi! This is my girlfriend, Zhang Yi!"
The village chief subconsciously rubbed his hands on his trousers to remove some dirt, and then he embarrassedly held Li Zixi's outstretched hand tightly. For a moment, he was a little strange, why did the young teacher's hand also have stains on it? Cocoon?
"Teacher Li! Teacher Zhang! I am the village chief of Tongcang Village, Liangzhuang!"
It was the first time that Li Yi heard the name of the village chief. The whole Tongxiang Village was roughly divided into two surnames, one was Liang and the other was Hong. These two surnames were passed down from the ancestors of the two villages. Later, the two villages merged into one big village, so they came to a conclusion that the village was divided into two village chiefs, big and small, and the two surnames took turns to sit in this position.
Every three years, a new village chief is replaced.
Liangzhuang was the village chief only last year. Originally, Liangzhuang was the most capable young man in the whole village, and he was the most convincing. After becoming the village chief, he was also conscientious and responsible. He resolutely decided not to care about the ancestral precepts left by the ancestors when the village encountered a big problem, and accepted help from outside, so that the village was saved.
For Li Yi, Liangzhuang, the village chief, is already very competent.
Village chief Liang then greeted Chen Ruqing. Village chief Liang also regarded this very competent town chief as a benefactor, so he would naturally not neglect him.
"Village head, let's find a place to talk. It's a good opportunity to take our two teachers to get familiar with the village!"
Village head Liang nodded immediately, waved his hand to let the young men who had just returned with hoes go back first, and he led Li Yi and others to walk into the village.
It was lunch time in the village. Almost every household had smoke rising from the kitchen, and the aroma of food filled the small paths between the villages, refreshing the heart.
Li Zixi and Zhang Yi both sighed that there was no such feeling in the city. The bigger the city, the less human touch there was.
