Chapter 224 Chu Shan
Both Chushan and this county can be regarded as the most remote places in Fucheng. Therefore, Bureau Chu sent a message to Xiguang Charity with a sense of luck, but he did not expect that he would actually win the jackpot.
When Lin Manqing and the others met Bureau Chu in the county town, he had always wanted to treat Lin Manqing and the others to a meal, but they refused.
There are plenty of opportunities to eat, but the most important thing now is to go to Chushan to investigate the situation.
When Bureau Chu saw that they were not being polite, he nodded happily. Lin Manqing was afraid that he would faint before he reached his destination.
After seeing that there were no objections, Bureau Chu took Lin Manqing and the others from the front and rushed to Chushan. Then they sat in the car for another two hours.
The road after coming down from the county town is not easy to walk. It is full of potholes and dirt, and the slope is extremely steep.
Lin Manqing, a person who suffers from motion sickness, has never felt so regretful. She doesn't understand that if she doesn't stay in that nice place in the Imperial Capital, why should she follow?
Block it?
Two of He Qing's group were drivers, and the other two were motion sick and even vomited.
The four of them drove alternately, otherwise if one of them was caught all the time, an accident would easily occur.
There was a bag in the car, so even if I vomited, there would be no other accidents, such as vomiting in the car.
Lin Manqing finally arrived at Chushan when she was vomiting so much that she almost lost her human form.
The time has also reached six o'clock in the afternoon.
I don't know if it was because Chushan was not developed. When Lin Manqing got off the car, she saw the sky full of glow. There were some other colors in the orange-red clouds, which looked very beautiful.
Where had Lin Manqing and the others seen such a beautiful sunset before? As soon as I got off the car, I picked up my phone and took pictures.
Bureau Chu was watching them from behind. After Lin Manqing took the photo and sent it to Pei Zheng, he turned around and saw the glow of the sky behind him. He stood in the glow and looked at them with a smile.
It was getting late, so Director Chu took Lin Manqing and the others to his old house for dinner, and there was a room prepared for them.
The old house of Mr. Chu's family is not a self-built house like Lin Manqing's house, but a brick house like the one in the 1990s. The roof is still tiled. When it rains, you can hear the crackling sound.
There are clumps of bamboo and banana trees surrounding his house.
Lin Manqing and the others chose to build the Hope Primary School in Chushan because of its good geographical location.
There are seven or eight small villages located around Chushan. They are all equally far away from Chushan, and Chushan is a large village with more children.
These children are all left-behind children. Their parents have gone out to work, leaving only the elderly parents and young children.
It was getting late. After Lin Manqing and the others finished eating, they wandered around Chushan. They even saw fireflies here for the first time in a long time.
Except for Lin Manqing, who was from Liangcheng, the other three people were all from the Imperial Capital, so they had never seen fireflies before, but had only heard about them in books.
The villagers in Chushan had heard from Director Chu about the purpose of Lin Manqing and the others before. When they arrived in the village before, the village chief also entertained them warmly.
But they refused for many reasons. Now when these villagers saw them, they all let them in to eat.
Of course, Lin Manqing couldn't understand what they were saying. Bureau Chu was explaining it to them.
After walking around and understanding the general situation, they returned to Director Chu's house, then moved stools and sat in the yard to watch the stars.
Lin Manqing called Pei Zheng but no one answered. He was probably still in the laboratory, so Lin Manqing just took some videos for him.
It is rare to see such beautiful scenery in the imperial capital, with stars filling the sky, insects chirping outside the courtyard, and the gentle breeze blowing slowly.
Lin Manqing felt very comfortable. She had been busy and living a fast-paced life in a big city for too long. When she suddenly came to a place like this, she felt that her soul was about to drift away.
After staying in the yard for a while, Lin Manqing and the four of them all had some bumps on their exposed skin, all caused by mosquito bites.
They fought mosquitoes tirelessly and were about to go back to their room to rest when an old man in his sixties came to Chu's house with three or four large watermelons.
He said he wanted to give Lin Manqing and the others a taste.
Director Chu was not polite and moved a stool for the uncle to sit down, but failed in the end. He had to go in and get a knife and come out to share the melon with Lin Manqing and the others.
The melons are grown by my uncle’s family, probably because they rarely use fertilizers. When you open the melons with a knife, you can see the bright red flesh and it tastes very sweet.
Even another person who didn't like watermelon couldn't resist eating several pieces in a row.
After eating the melon, Lin Manqing and the others sat in the yard for a while before returning to the room.
The room was cleaned very clean by Director Chu's mother, and the quilt had been dried in the sun several times. Mosquito coils were also lit in the corner of the room.
Lin Man thought he wouldn't be able to sleep in the same room as He Qing, but he didn't expect to fall asleep within a few minutes of sitting next to the bed.
Pei Zheng's calls to her were all missed because they were on mute, and she only saw them when she woke up the next morning.
The alarm clock in rural areas is a big rooster that is kept in every household. As soon as the rooster crows, someone will get up and start their busy day.
Even though the people staying at home are all old people and children, they are not idle at all. They are all busy, ranging from seven or eight years old to eighty years old.
The children who are not in school cook for the family, and the elderly go to work in the mountains.
After Lin Manqing and the others woke up, they simply ate breakfast and started busy, otherwise they would feel like they were freeloading.
We walked around the village again and it felt different from last night.
Last night, some old people were sitting in front of their homes to enjoy the cool air. Children were noisy around them, some counting stars and some catching crickets.
During the day, I don’t know if Bureau Chu had greeted them, but they were all following behind Lin Manqing and the others. Even the children were following in groups.
After looking around, Lin Manqing and the others discussed with Bureau Chu and the villagers, and finally decided to build the school at the end of the village.
There is a large open space at the end of the village, which is also very close to the villagers' houses. There is no danger there.
After the discussion, Lin Manqing and the others began to allocate funds to Bureau Chu to buy materials and find workers.
Lin Manqing and the others had nothing to do, and since this was the first Hope Primary School they built, they decided to stay there until it was completed.
Bureau Chu was also very efficient in doing things, and with the help of Lin Manqing and others, the matter of buying materials and finding workers started to get busy in full swing.
The villagers in Chushan Village were very happy when they learned that the school was really going to be built. Many people even came to help spontaneously.
