Xu Fei never thought of returning to Liujiaping Town, a small mountain town in a small county town southeast of Guizhou Province.

Although Liujiaping is a town, in Xu Fei's impression, it is a small village with only two streets, one horizontal and one vertical. After returning more than ten years later, the streets are still the same two streets, but they have changed from the original gravel road to a five-meter-wide cement road.

Liujiaping used to be just a larger village, but later it was changed to a commune and later it became a township.

After a four-hour drive, we arrived at RJ County, the top 100 poor counties in the country. Then we drove for more than an hour and finally arrived at Liujiaping. The two jeeps from the foundation were almost disbanded.

"This is where I grew up, and I grew up here until I was sixteen." Xu Fei pointed to the short and dilapidated houses on both sides of the street and said to Qian Bin.

Although the town is dilapidated, the town government is a white four-story building, plus a large courtyard covering an area of ​​more than one acre, which is somewhat incompatible with the surrounding environment.

As soon as he entered the yard, a short and fat man was waiting there with a few people. Xu Fei still remembered this person, his name was Liu Cunfu. He was the mayor before he left the town. An older man standing next to him was Li Chuanliang, the vice principal of the town middle school.

"Hello, Director Li, you haven't come to our Liujiaping for inspection for a long time."

Li Yushan, director of the county party committee office, did not entrust him, but enthusiastically introduced him to several people: "Secretary Liu, Principal Li, this is Ms. Xu Fei."

"Miss Xu Fei, welcome, welcome."

"Secretary Liu and Principal Li, we came here this time mainly to understand the educational environment here first. I heard from County Mayor Yan that there was a flood here last year, and our town middle school was almost washed away. So we wanted to conduct on-site inspections this time, and then re-select a new site to build a new school."

Looking at the excited Principal Li and Liu Cunfu with a puzzled face, Li Yushan explained: "Ms. Xu Fei is the secretary-general of Aiyou Foundation. Their foundation has decided to build 20 Hope Schools in our province this year. Several have been built in Leishan and Dushan counties, all of which are built according to the standards of the central school and provide a full set of supporting educational facilities. The donation fee for each school is about 5 million yuan. Your town is the county magistrate Yan personally went to the Provincial Education Bureau to find relationships..."

Li Yushan, director of the county office of the county party committee standing committee, talked endlessly about how much efforts the county's main leaders have put into this Hope Project.

Liu Cunfu nodded and agreed, but was observing Xu Fei and his group from time to time. It turned out that he had a wrong understanding. They did not donate money directly, but donate to build a school.

After Xu Fei and Li Yushan finished introducing the article, he said to several people: "Director Li, Secretary Liu, and Principal Li, the purpose of our trip is to conduct field inspections and measurements first, then come up with a construction plan, and finally carry out the project bidding and construction at McKinsey Company."

"What kind of bidding for a wheat company?" Liu Cunfu looked at Xu Fei and said in confusion: "Didn't you pay for money and we come to find someone to build a school, and finally let you find someone to promote it. You get the name, do we have the school?"

As Xu Fei's follower, Qian Bin explained: "We are not for the sake of reputation, we really want to donate to build schools. All school buildings are built according to the eight-level earthquake-proof level, and the location of the buildings should be kept away from the waterway mountains to avoid possible floods and landslides."

"It's good, so that the children don't have to worry about it during the rainy season..." Li Chuanliang said excitedly, and saw Secretary Liu's expression unhappy, and hurriedly stopped.

"Tsk, I don't believe you are not trying to gain a good reputation." Liu Cunfu muttered a few words and was pulled aside by Li Yushan.

The outside world regards the Aiyou Charity Fund established by Chen Fang as a tool to make a name for itself. Only Xu Fei and Qian Bin, who know him well, know that he is not for the sake of reputation.

At the construction ceremony of the first "Aiyou Central School" donated by Leishan County, Qian Province, senior officials of the Guizhou Provincial Government, leaders directly under the Civil Affairs Department and the Education Department all came to cut the ribbons, and the official blog of the National Charity Federation reported on this matter, but Chen Fang did not show up to attend the construction ceremony at all.

At that time, Xu Fei informed him and he replied directly: I do charity to give back to society, not to make a name for myself. I don’t need to make money everywhere under the guise of charity. I just spend money, so I’ll leave this matter to you.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～�

"Uncle, this is the working group of the Hope Project."

Xu Fei and Qian Bin, led by Li Chuanliang, came to a high ground in the town for specific investigation. A man with greasy head and pink face came beside Liu Cunfu in the distance, but his shoulders were one high and one low, and his right hand was always hanging.

"Can we get this project?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. This time the people are very big. County Magistrate Yan personally came over."

"If we don't give us some oil and water in this acre of three-point land in Liujiaping, can their construction team enter?" said the man with oily head and pink face.

"Xiaoyong, don't do it too much."

"I know, there is a proper measure."

When Xu Fei first saw Liu Xiaoyong standing beside Liu Cunfu, he recognized him. But he had changed too much over the years, so he probably could not recognize him, a little hairy girl with a pale face back then.

"Hello, you are Secretary-General Xu, you are so beautiful. I am Liu Xiaoyong, the manager of Eryong Construction Company." Liu Xiaoyong looked at Xu Fei, swallowed his saliva first, then calmed down and stretched out his left hand to her.

"Ah!" Xu Fei took a step back in panic and hit Qian Bin behind him. Qian Bin, who had been practicing martial arts for many years, could clearly feel Xu Fei's muscles stiff and his shoulders were still trembling slightly.

Qian Bin held Xu Fei's shoulder, stabilized her for a while, then reached out to hold Liu Xiaoyong's hand: "Hello, I am Secretary-General Xu's assistant. Secretary-General Xu has been traveling around for a day today and is a little tired."

Liu Cunfu said: "Yes, our side is a bit off. It's getting late. We'll have dinner tonight, and then you stay in the town first. We'll talk tomorrow morning."

It was dinner at the town guesthouse in the evening. Liu Cunfu couldn't figure out the real origin of their group of people, so he served them step by step according to the working meal standards. After dinner, they were arranged in the town guesthouse and offered to let them rest early. However, after the meal, he came to Li Yushan's room again.

"Director Li, where do they come from?"

"This is a super rich man in China. He has invested billions of dollars to run a charity foundation. They will invest in the construction of twenty Hope Schools in our Qian Province this year, each of which is said to be no less than five million."

"It's really a waste, I have money to burn. Isn't it just a few teaching buildings? I can build it for him for two million."

"They require construction in accordance with high-level shock-proof standards and equipped with a full set of teaching equipment to completely improve the teaching environment."

Liu Cunfu said disdainfully: "Tsk, these poor children in the valley are suitable for such a good school. No matter how good the school is, they will eventually go to the coast to work after graduating from junior high school."

"Who said no, but this was invited by County Magistrate Yan to the province in person. And you also know that Secretary Cui will be on the line next year. County Magistrate Yan probably wants..." Li Yushan pointed upward with his hand, and the meaning of it was self-evident.

"Hmph, we are not like some people. Tea is cold before they leave. Director Li, bring some mountain goods back when they leave, and there are a few air-dried white-bellied pheasants. Please bring them to Secretary Cui."

Li Yushan expressed his gratitude, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart that if it weren't for your family and Secretary Cui's in-laws, you would probably be faster than anyone else's change. But then again, this mountain product from Liujiaping is really good. You can consider bringing some to County Mayor Yan and strive to make a step further next year.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although it was July, the guesthouse in the high mountain area was still cold. Xu Fei, who was sleeping in the bed, seemed to be in a tactile position. She struggled for a long time before she regained control of her body. After waking up, she was sweating in a cold sweat. She poured a glass of water, pulled a stool and sat in front of the window. Looking at the dark hill in the distance, her thoughts slowly returned to the past.

Although Liujiaping Middle School is only a junior high school, the villages within a radius of more than 30 miles are all in this school. Many children from far away from home have to spend a stay in the school.

Xu Fei is a member of the stay. Her family is in a small village about twenty miles away from the town. She walks home once a week, and then returns to school with the rice harvested by her family and pickles or pickles made by her. Sometimes her family would make some meat and vegetables to bring her to school to eat hot.

There is a canteen in the school where students use their lunch boxes to cook rice and steam it out every day. Generally, the food on Mondays is good, and then after Wednesdays, they are basically served with pickles. Due to long-term malnutrition, Xu Fei's graduation photo that year is very different from now, just like two people.

It can be said that every school in China will have one or two bad kids, and Liujiaping Middle School is no exception.

Liu Xiaoyong had an older brother named Liu Dayong. He fought with someone at the age of fifteen and stabbed him in the end. Because he was not old enough, he was imprisoned by the Young Administrative Office for three years. With this qualification, Liu Dayong became a domineering person in the town. His catchphrase was: Believe it or not, I stab you to death.

With this brother as his backer, Liu Xiaoyong also became a bully in the school, skipping classes all day long, fighting and extorting classmates.

The word "bullying" is a word that Xu Fei only really understood after work, but compared to her, Liu Xiaoyong's actions back then were not "bullying" at all, but crime.

There was a very beautiful girl in their class back then. Xu Fei still remembered that her name was Miao Zhaodi, and she was her deskmate.

Entering the third year of junior high school, Liu Xiaoyong, who was stimulating the hormones during adolescence, then transferred his energy from fighting and extortion to teasing female classmates. After looking around at school, he took a fancy to Miao Zhaodi. Although she was dressed in a simple manner, she did not hide her pretty face, and her body that had already begun to develop made Liu Xiaoyong feel ready.

Liu Xiaoyong, who often misses classes, rarely appears in the classroom.

Xu Fei has been hating her cowardice at that time for so many years. In Liu Xiaoyong's threatening gaze and Miao Zhaodi's begging gaze, she gave her seat to Liu Xiaoyong, and gave her deskmate to a rogue villain's reach.

In the next six months, Xu Fei, as a bystander, saw the evil of human nature. Liu Xiaoyong began to harass Miao Zhaodi, first trying to get along with her, but after being rejected, he began to touch her. After Miao Zhaodi reported to the teacher, the teacher just said a few words without any pain, and ignored Miao Zhaodi's request to change seats.

In the teacher's opinion, Liu Xiaoyong is only targeting one student, which is a good thing for other children in the class. On the contrary, when adjusting the class seats several times in the future, he deliberately adjusted Miao Zhaodi to the last row and sat with Liu Xiaoyong.

With the teacher's indulgence, Liu Xiaoyong became even more unscrupulous and finally opened his hand into the girl's clothes in class to molest.

"I know where your home is. If you dare not come to school, I will stab your whole family with my brother." This is a sentence Xu Fei heard in the toilet by accident, which scared her so much that she didn't dare to come out for a long time.

What Xu Fei feared most was winter. The winter in Qian Province was wet and cold. It was not as thick as the north, snow was covered in silver, but it was frozen rain. The cold rain hit her body, like a knife.

The most wet and cold winter is the hearts of the people. After Xu Fei was sent to school by her father one Monday morning, she never saw Miao Zhaodi in the school again, and Liu Xiaoyong did not come to the classroom to attend classes. She just listened to his occasionally boasting opponents, and knew that he had done Miao Zhaodi. Because it rained, Miao Zhaodi, who was farther away, did not go home, and was in that simple school dormitory, which made him succeed.

Did you do it? What to do? This is something other children like to inquire at that time, as if the little private matter between men and women is more worthy of attention than the fall of a flowery girl.

It is said that in the end, Liu Xiaoyong's family paid 5,000 yuan, while Miao Zhaodi was married to a foreign land by her father with a bride price of 20,000 yuan, and then there was no later.

Xu Fei felt cold all over at the indifference around her. When she returned home, she cried bitterly in her parents' arms. She felt fear, fearing the school and the dormitory. Her father, as a forest ranger, gritted his teeth and bought a motorcycle and picked her up and down to school every day, which made her feel a little safe.

Xu Fei, who has been learning to sing folk songs with her grandma since she was a child, seized an opportunity during the high school entrance examination. Her loud voice went like a lark, which made the teachers from the Provincial Art School who came to recruit students take a look at it, thus getting the opportunity to enter the Provincial Arts Affiliated High School.

Unwilling to return to the place that made her feel scared, she studied hard and practiced hard, and finally got admitted to the Huaxia Conservatory of Music.

In the four years of college, she never returned to her hometown. Even during the holidays, she worked part-time to study.

An unexpected rain in her senior year, coupled with long-term malnutrition, resulting in high fever, damage to the vocal cords, and being unable to continue her singing career, made her feel that her future was dark and she didn't want to go back to the place that made her heart cold.

Under Professor Ye's introduction, she was fortunate to come to Yanjing Radio Station as an editor, and then half a year later she was promoted to broadcasting and hosting. Although she was just a small anchor in a garbage period, she had already made her reach the top in one step.

Unexpectedly, the ending was still in vain. The strong mother-in-law caused her son and became a little bitch. With the help of her best friend Qu Xiaoxiao, she obtained favorable evidence.

Until now, Xu Fei still remembers how she looked when she put the evidence in front of her mother-in-law. A woman who has been strong all her life seemed to have lost all her energy in an instant, like a pierced balloon, begging herself to let her son go.

This is also the first time Xu Fei has realized that people cannot accept it, and they must dare to say no.

Although he was single, he was happy. He brought his parents from that small hill to Yanjing, and used his relationship to change the name of his ID card from "Xu Fangfei" to "Xu Fei". He worked hard to separate the past from the place where he made him nightmares. He was a Yanjing native.

So when Chen Fang found Xu Fei and hoped that she would help support the "Aiyou Charity Fund". When she understood the operation process of the fund, her first reaction was to refuse, and she didn't want to go back to that place.

Xu Lin, a cousin from Qian Province who specially sent Ah milk to Yanjing for the New Year during the Chinese New Year, said something: "Bad, sister, something good happened in our town before the New Year. A crazy woman cut Liu Xiaoyong down. Although it was not cut to death, it was said that the big tendon on his arm was injured. I guess this gangster was going to be useless."

"Do you know who cut it?" Xu's father asked excitedly.

"It is said that it is called Di?" Xu Lin said uncertainly.

When Xu Fei heard this name, she tensed up and asked, "Miao Zhaodi? Is it Miao Zhaodi?"

Looking at my cousin nodding, this name that he had been blocked for more than ten years appeared in front of me again, making me nightmare again.

In the next few days, Xu Fei thought a lot. Why didn’t Miao Zhaodi’s family sue Liu Xiaoyong? In addition to being ignorant and afraid of things, the more important thing is that she is poor.

There are many reasons why my hometown is so poor, and the residents are low in education and cannot accept new things from the outside world well. This is one of the main reasons. Most farmers who have not even graduated from junior high school go out to work, and their most common occupations are construction workers, porters, such as those who only need to sell coolies.

So Xu Fei decided to agree to Chen Fang's request, and she wanted to atone for the sake of giving up her seat to Liu Xiaoyong. She wanted to use the foundation to find a way out for all children in poor areas, so that these children could have the opportunity to walk out of this valley and see the big world outside. All children could rest safely in the warm dormitory in the cold winter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Uncle, do you think if I ask a few people to threaten them, will they hand over the project to us locals? At least we can get two million." After being cut, Liu Xiaoyong seemed to have learned to use his brain. He no longer uses violent means, but learned to use his brain.

With Liu Cunfu's tacit consent, Liu Xiaoyong found more than a dozen people and attacked the members of the Foundation who were measuring the venue. Qian Bin bravely blocked everyone, while Xu Fei was obviously stunned on the side. She was ashamed and angry at the rogue behavior of her hometown.

The sound of the iron rod hitting the limbs made her awake. Qian Bin held her back with an uninjured hand and kicked the gangster who was pussed over with his feet.

This was the first time Xu Fei felt a sense of security in a man other than his father. Looking at his hanging arms, Xu Fei felt that she was even more painful than him.

Xu Lin, who was transferred from a forest ranger to a police officer from a police station, came with the director late and found that the besieged was his cousin Xu Fei. He hurriedly rushed into the crowd with several kids to stop the conflict.

"Oh, who do I think it is? It turns out to be Xu Fangfei. I didn't expect that I'll be beautiful after not seeing you for more than ten years." Liu Xiaoyong, who knew the situation, smiled at Xu Fei. He knew that things were a bit big, but he didn't take them seriously. At worst, I hope the school will not be built anymore.

However, they underestimated the strength of the Aiyou Foundation. Xu Fei did not react to the county at all and returned to the province directly. Within a week, the province came to the working group, a senior official in RJ County and a senior official in Liujiaping Town were taken down for violating the law. The Liu brothers who had been entrenched in RJ County for many years were arrested in accordance with the law. The elder brother Liu Dayong was sentenced to death for someone's life lawsuit, and the younger brother Liu Xiaoyong was prosecuted for multiple charges such as rape, private possession of firearms, and intentional injury. At least what awaits him is life imprisonment.

Xu Fei, accompanied by Qian Bin, went to the women's prison. Although Miao Zhaodi, who was the same age as her, still had her original appearance, she looked like a walking corpse who had lost her soul. She had forgotten Xu Fei and Xu Fangfei. Only when Xu Fei told her that Liu Xiaoyong had deserved it, she showed a hint of spirit.
