In the village committee meeting room, everyone was watching a short video.

At this time, the audience at the scene were not only Hu Feifei and his party, He Bingbing and other village committee leaders and Yu Zehai, but also all the subject classrooms of Yujiaao Village Primary School, and Yu Zehaihai were also called to the scene by Yu Zehai.

The video is not long.

From a professional perspective, the shooting method of this video is too rough, and it has not been edited or beautified. However, just a few short environmental shots and characters' dialogues made all the audience feel sad and even cry.

Desolate, dilapidated villages, and stone-slab houses with earthen walls and stone walls, some of which crack or even collapse; each of the thin and pale and thin villagers, whether they are the elderly or children... This is not the end, and the most touching thing is a few short conversations of characters.

The conversation was officially Mayor Hu Feifei at the scene at this moment, and the other side was a group of old men who were about to stop and a ragged boy like a beggar.

Hu Feifei asked, "Uncle Zhao, these children are seven or eight years old, right?"

"The little Niu Niu is four years old, and the big Zhuzi is eight years old. There are only five dolls left in the entire Zhaoshan Village."

The old man surnamed Zhao rubbed and stuffed himself a bag of old dry tobacco, took out a match and lit it hard, took a sip of smoke, and then said slowly.

"They are all good kids."

The old man added: "They are really pitiful. They can't afford to go to school. Their parents have also gone to work in big cities outside to make money. There is no news for a year or a half, and they don't give their family a penny, or even a phone call or a letter from home... Some of them were thrown away by their families. It can be said that these kids grew up eating snacks and hundreds of families."

"What should I do if I don't go to school?"

The little secretary next to Hu Feifei interrupted and asked.

In the countryside, it is not uncommon for children who grow up with a hundred families of food. But like the old man said, throwing away children? If you don’t go to school, the young secretary was stunned in an instant.

"Look at what you are asking, come on, that pillar, come here." The old man took a deep breath of smoke and waved to the pillar where he was playing.

Zhuzi is the oldest and tallest among a group of children. When he heard Old Man Zhao call him, he ran over with his sleeves and applied his nose.

Mr. Zhao nodded to Zhuzi and said, "Tell these city people loudly, how old are you? What's your name?"

"Eight...eight years old! My name is Zhuzi...Zhao Dazhu!"

Obviously, this child rarely contacted people outside when he was young. He suddenly faced Hu Feifei and his party. When he was shooting the camera, he looked full of fear, and even his speech became stuttering in an instant.

"Zhao Dazhu, what do you want to do when you grow up?"

The little secretary interrupted again and asked.

"I, I'm grown up now and I'm a real man!"

Zhao Dazhu straightened his chest and said proudly: "I can herd sheep and cattle; I can raise chickens and feed pigs; I can also cook pig grass and pick up firewood; I... I can also cook... I..."

"Miss, have you heard it clearly now?"

The old man Zhao next to him sighed and said helplessly: "If you ask him what he is doing when he grows up, he can't explain it. Anyway, it's just about herding cattle, sheep, pigs, grass, and feeding pigs and chopping wood. If you are lucky enough to get married and have children in the future, the children will follow his routine. The children's children will still have the same trick. And this is the fate of our rural children."

"The old man remembers that a great man once said that knowledge changes destiny. Therefore, children must read. Only by reading more and having knowledge can they get rid of this endless cycle of "vicious circle". But you have also seen that our Zhaoshan Village, our children cannot afford to read! We also want to change the lives of children, and also want to give them hope and future, but..."

Speaking of this, Old Man Zhao was in tears, and the video came to an abrupt end!

...

A few minutes of video, played over and over again.

At this moment, many people were filled with tears in their eyes, and even some emotional female compatriots couldn't help but sob in a low voice...

After a while of silence, Yu Zehai finally couldn't help asking: "Director Liu, is there no school in Zhaoshan Village?"

Director Liu was embarrassed when he heard this and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Yu doesn't know that Zhaoshan Village did have a school system before. However, after the whole village moved to Xiaoyang Village, the former Zhaoshan Village Primary School was also revoked and merged into Xiaoyang Village Primary School. All subject teachers were also sent to Xiaoyang Village Primary School to continue teaching."

"Now, some of the former Zhaoshan Village villagers are not used to living in Xiaoyang Village and have returned to the former site of Zhaoshan Village, but the school is gone and there are no subject teachers."

"If these children go to the neighboring village to go to school, let alone the issue of miscellaneous fees, the 15-kilometer mountain road alone will block the children's pace. If they are teenagers, this distance will naturally be fine, but these are all six or seven-year-old children and cannot be walked."

"So far?"

Yu Zehai's face was speechless. This Zhaoshan Village was too remote. However, when I thought about it, I felt relieved. It was indeed unrealistic to let a child, seven or eight years old, cross mountains and rivers, travel across mountains and rivers to a place fifteen miles away to study.

Yu Zehai's eyes swept everyone's faces, and finally fell on the faces of Mayor Hu Feifei and Director Liu, and said in a deep voice: "Mayor Hu, Director Liu, I believe you should have reached a certain consensus before you decide to come to Yujiaao Village to find me. Let's talk about your thoughts first."

Hearing Yu Zehaihai's words, Hu Feifei and Director Liu looked at each other and said, "Mr. Yu, the hardware facilities, teaching resources and teaching environment of Yujiaao Village Primary School are far superior to those of Panlong Town Primary School, and can even be comparable to most schools in Shenshui City. Therefore, Director Liu and I have communicated before. Can our Yujiaao Village Primary School accept several left-behind children in Zhaoshan Village so that these poor children can also have the same opportunities to receive education as those children in big cities?"

"That's it?"

Yu Zehai was slightly stunned. His eyes swept over the faces of the two people and said with a smile: "I'm scared to death. Caomin originally thought that the town mayor wanted the boy to accept the left-behind villagers. I personally have no problem here just for these left-behind children. There is no need to say more about the children with parents. Children without parents will eliminate their previous household registration and settle in Yujiaao Village."

Speaking of this, Yu Zehai's eyes swept over He Bingbing, Zhou Xiaoxi and others' faces, and said, "What do you think?"

After listening to Yu Zehai's words, Hu Feifei and Director Liu were naturally excited. If the other party raised their hands to pass the vote, then the purpose of their trip would be achieved. However, He Bingbing and other village committee leaders, as well as subject teachers such as Zhou Xiaoxi, discussed in a low voice.

Although Yu Zehai set the tone, there are still many details.

If it is an orphan, it is easy to take it over and train it, or even settle in Yujiaao Village, it is easy to say, but what about those children with parents and relatives? If the parents are close relatives, why should Yujiaao Village be that bad guy and the Holy Mother bitch?

Sure enough!

After a while of whispering, Mo Guiyu stood up first and said, "Principal Yu, and the leaders here, we just had a brief conversation. For us teachers, one sheep is to put and two sheep are to put. We wish that more children of appropriate age will be admitted to school, so as to strengthen the scale of our school and improve the teaching level and popularity of our Yujiaao Village Primary School."

"But, there is one problem with this."

"If the left-behind children are orphans, we will accept them, or even settle in Yujiaao Village, and cultivate them into talents in the future. This is a kind act of good and also proves the social responsibility of Principal Yu and the entire Yujiaao Village! However, for those left-behind children whose parents are alive, there is no need to be that bad person. After all, the biological parents have not spoken. What is the point of doing this? Is it helpful to others? Is it full? Or is it something else?"

"Huh? That's true."

Yu Zehai's eyes lit up when he heard this. He smiled and nodded at Mo Guiyu, then turned to He Bingbing and said, "Mr. He, what do you think?"

"Teacher Mo said it well!"

He Bingbing glared at Yu Zehai and pondered: "If it is an orphan, we will accept it and settle down and cultivate it until we become a talent. But if there are children with close parents, we have no obligation or responsibility to help them raise children, which is irrational. Of course, for such left-behind children, our Yujiaao Village Primary School does not want to turn them off, but some principles cannot be broken."

"I know that the superior government and the leaders of the Cultural and Education Office are very concerned about the education of children of the age left behind in the villages under my jurisdiction. Our Yujiaao Village Primary School has the ability and responsibility to help the leaders solve their problems, but this still requires consultation and specific feasible details."

"We are abrupt in this."

Hu Feifei and Director Liu looked at each other, smiled apologetically, and said, "We were anxious to solve the problem before, and ignored the interests and social impacts. Here, I would like to thank Mr. Yu for his generosity, but the concerns mentioned by Teacher Mo and Village Chief He are also very important! Just as Village Chief He said, it would be fine if it is an orphan. If the other party's parents are alive, we have no responsibility or obligation to raise children for others. What are the good suggestions for this? Village Chief He?"

He Bingbing thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I have an immature idea. I call the parents of those children to the scene, and the town cultural and educational office. Everyone signed a tripartite agreement. Our Yujiaao Village Primary School agreed to accept these left-behind children, but it would cost a fee. Even if it only charges one dollar per semester, this is a matter of principle!"
