This place is like a paradise, with cattle and sheep everywhere, chickens flying and dogs barking.

Children ran in twos and threes on the grass. Some were chasing cattle and sheep, some were racing with puppies, and some were simply playing a game of chasing each other.

There are five families in one village, and they met more than a dozen children along the way.

As soon as they approached the village, the village dogs started barking vigorously.

It attracted the attention of everyone in the village.

Several curious children came over and asked directly what they did?

Ling Yechen walked all the way, his face already stretched to the extreme.

There was cow and sheep excrement all over the floor. As soon as he entered their house and saw the extremely dirty home in front of him, he was so disgusted that he almost vomited out the biscuits he had just eaten on the road.

Not to mention the yard, there was even chicken droppings on the floor beside the fire pit in the house.

After explaining their intention, several families immediately gathered at the house where they were staying.

A lot of people came at once, big and small, a big crowd.

The owners are a young couple with five children and a pair of elderly parents.

The two of them were welcomed into the house by the owner, and then adults from other houses came over one after another. Many children also came, but they were all playing outside and did not dare to come in.

I heard they were here to see the students, and the children were all very excited.

From time to time, I would come to the door and eavesdrop on what the adults were doing.

Hu Tao first learned about the basic situation of the children's schooling in the family. There are three boys and two girls in the family, but only three boys are studying. The girls have dropped out of school and are waiting to get married in a few years, when they are fifteen or sixteen.

After hearing this explanation, Ling Yechen finally understood what he had heard about the preference for boys over girls.

Why before they came, his mother emphasized that he should pay more attention to the situation of girls.

Hutao was also a little surprised. She knew that boys were favored over girls in the countryside, but in her family or around her, at least girls could go to school.

She asked in disbelief: "Don't girls from other families also go to school?"

Two of the parents said: "I have girls studying at home."

She then asked the parents whose girls did not study: "Why? Is it because of family economic reasons?"

Their answer was: "The family can only send some children to school, and the boys who are the first choice will go to school first."

Hutao shook her head and disagreed with their statement: "I think it is as important for girls to go to school as for boys, or even more important than boys.

After reading, you can see the outside world. You don’t have to get married and have children at a young age. You can choose your own life.”

She didn't know if these people could understand what she said, but she hoped someone could.

Hutao didn't know if the ones near the village chief's house were like this, but she heard from the village chief that all his children were in school.

I didn't expect this to be the case here.

Next, the two went door to door, took photos, and asked about family income and children's schooling status.

Hutao took out a handful of candies from his bag and gave them to the children before the two of them hurried back.

They still have to walk more than ten kilometers of mountain roads to get back to the village chief's house.

Although several family members enthusiastically persuaded them to stay and invited them to dinner, Ling Yeshen refused to eat anything and didn't even drink water.

When the two of them were on their way back, he found a mountain spring and drank some water.

Hu Tao really couldn't stand his attitude of despising everything, and said coldly: "You don't have to be like this. Their food may not be clean, but the water should be clean mountain spring water, which is much cleaner than the tap water in the city.

."

After holding it in for a day, Ling Yechen couldn't stand it anymore and began to complain: "Didn't you see how dirty those people's homes were? There were even chicken droppings on the lid of the pot.

How do you think they live like this? What’s the point of living?

I think they are just lazy and don’t even clean up the house. How can they think about making money to send their children to school?

I don’t think helping them now will change anything. A few decades from now, they won’t be the same as they used to be. Do you believe that those dirty children can be very successful in more than ten years?

In such a good society now, people can make money wherever they go, why don't they go out and stay in this valley, looking at a few sheep and cows every day..."

Ling Yeshen said a lot, but he didn't like the way these people did things anyway.

Hutao doesn't like to argue with others.

She doesn't agree with his idea.

Because she felt that he had never truly understood the helplessness of rural people.

She understands. Having lived in poverty for many years, she knows better than anyone else the helplessness of being born in a rural area.

Just like that joke, a rural woman goes to work in the fields before dawn in the morning and is reluctant to rest in the middle. She doesn't go home until the moon rises in the evening. It can be said that she works extremely hard and conscientiously every day and never wastes her time, but she persists in this way for a lifetime.

She still has nothing.'

Regarding this joke, she has thought a lot about why her efforts every day still have no results. It is because their vision and structure are too small, and their resources are too few. Even if they work tirelessly for a lifetime, there will still be no change, because

What she does has little value in itself. It is just a repetitive exercise.

Who doesn’t want to get ahead, and who doesn’t want to give their children and parents the best life, but they just don’t have the resources.

If you want to go out, you are uneducated and can't even read a word. How can you get along well in society?

Without education or vision, I feel that studying is of no use, and I never think that studying for girls will be of great benefit.

They really struggle in this small valley every day, but just like that joke, even if they work hard for a lifetime, they will only stay in the same place.

Therefore, Hutao believes that paying attention to children's learning and helping them return to school and complete their studies is the best investment and the best help.

Today, with her persuasion, several parents agreed that the girl should go back to school, which was the biggest gain for her.

"I think being able to help children study is really the best. Compared with poverty alleviation and housing construction, its role should be infinite, so I admire people who can do such things. It's really great."

Hu Tao sighed.

Ling Yechen didn't refute, and the two of them walked back quietly.

But Hutao couldn't stay idle, and after a while, she made another move.

On the way here, she saw many Chinese herbal medicines growing on the roadside, and on the way back, she took them all away.

Along the way, I dug here and there, and in a short time the whole bag was filled.

Don’t forget, she loves money the most, and she came here for money in the first place. Unexpectedly, after coming here, she discovered other opportunities to make money.
