After six consecutive hours of long Tubanbo, Qing National Highway changed to provincial highway. After several twists and turns, it was already midnight when he arrived at the county town. Chen Guobin did not show off and found a better hotel to stay in. However, there was nothing to eat at this moment. He could only sleep on his stomach hungry for half a night. The next morning he woke up and became much more energetic.

After driving on the street for a double breakfast, Chen Guobin came to a basically outdated state-owned shopping mall, picked some daily necessities and food and drinks that were available in the mountains, and he got stuck in the trunk. Then he drove out of the city and rushed to the place where he had only heard of the school name.

After searching in the village, Chen Guobin finally found the one that went to the village, just enough for a small car.

The dirt road where the car entered was shocking, and the deep ruts left by some unknown time could almost be held to the chassis. Chen Guobin carefully kept the wheels outside the ruts, and turned slowly and bumpy all the way toward the peaks from time to time. He drove deep into the mountains and forests. Whenever he thought there was no way to go, he would always magically find that the road was still under his feet, and he could not even touch a tractor on the road.

Chen Guobin opened all the car windows and felt the fresh environment around him comfortably.

The lush woods and bamboo forests seem particularly quiet, and the unknown pleasant fragrance floats into the heart. The sunlight falls through the forest and falls on the ground. The birds are gossiping............

No matter how impetuous your heart is, at least at this moment, you can always relax well. However, Chen Guobin did not fully fall into the arms of nature. He had to drive seriously and would never joke about his life. He accidentally fell down the steep hillside next to him, and he could not guarantee that he could continue to travel.

Occasionally, when encountering strong villagers carrying large bundles of firewood, or children holding old cows and gnawing grass, they all showed a strong interest in this mysterious mountain outside car. In their world, everything is very simple, allowing Chen Guobin, who came from the wonderful world outside, to have a little yearning, but just thinking it was a thought. He did not think that such a life is really suitable for many people who think they are tired of the wonderful world and want to seek purity to enjoy it occasionally. Although it is novel, it will only become a painful torment in the long run. Only those who truly see through everything in the world can let go and enjoy this simplicity calmly for a long time. Chen Guobin does not think that he has reached that great state, and he does not want to be so great.

In fact, even those who live here have a high yearning for the wonderful world outside. In fact, everyone is prone to a habit of being numb and bored by the environment that they have been in for a long time. They need to change the environment and mood in time, and then look back. This is also a deep-seated reason for the vigorous development of the tourism industry.

Chen Guobin found that his mood was much calmer than he thought. He smelled very much when he went to bed last night. The more complicated it was, the easier it was to calm him down. He once again realized that relaxing his mood and living optimistically was not only the most ideal for himself but also for the people around him. Too obsessed with it will only increase his worries and have no substantial meaning in solving problems.

After wading through mountains and rivers, Chen Guobin really drove through several small rivers that didn't even have a bridge. Chen Guobin couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was indeed not easy for the cars outside to drive in.

When he drove into a small mountain village with dozens of households, he heard the sound of motor and went out to see many men, women, and young people. They were all surprised. Chen Guobin smiled politely and nodded, but did not stop to ask for directions. He had already seen a floor of old brick and tile buildings standing on the top of the hillside at the other end of the village. It was obviously not like a house or a temple. It must be the legendary Xiaofeng Primary School.

After passing the village, the accelerator was blocked to the end, the Jetta car gasped and climbed up the narrow steep slope. When he hit the steering wheel, he suddenly realized that there was an open space the size of two basketball courts, which was quite precious on this high hill, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Since it was Saturday, there was no children's play or the sound of reading aloud. Chen Guobin saw a familiar figure under the eaves over there, just a coal stove (after all, not the firewood that Director Chen imagined) cooking. He should be preparing lunch, and the sun was hanging on his head.

Chen Yirong had long heard the sound of the car motor that had not been missing. Although she was puzzled, she did not stop her work. It was not until the car really appeared in her sight that she bent down and closed the furnace door with only a small gap left, looking at it carefully.

Chen Guobin drove straight to her side before stopping, while Chen Yirong was surprised to find that the person driving was her very changed brother.

The two of them immediately became moved. Because they couldn't explain it clearly, they hadn't seen each other for some years. Chen Yirong and her husband hadn't left the county for a long time, and they didn't even go to the township.

"sister"

"Guobin"

Chen Guobin got out of the car and grabbed Chen Yirong's hand with a little shining in his eyes, feeling a lot.

Chen Guobin saw that his sister was in a much better condition than she thought. She was still young and her face was optimistic, and she was immediately relieved.

Zheng Xianyong, the master-like, had previously watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the house close to the corner (I don’t know how many times) and turned a blind eye to the outside world. He heard Chen Yirong’s belated call: “Xianyong, come out quickly, Guobin will come to see us.” He came back to his senses and put down the book, walked out the door unnaturally, and nodded to Chen Guobin, whose appearance changed a lot, and shouted a little stiffly, and had to reply to his brother-in-law’s honorific title.

After Xiaoxuan under the eaves, Chen Yirong continued to cook, while wondering and worried: "Guobin, why did you come here suddenly? This road is very difficult to walk." Although the siblings and brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, they are not at all reunited. Zheng Xianyong has been reunited, but he will naturally become more reunited after not seeing each other for so long. It is a bit embarrassing to stand aside.

Chen Guobin was very relaxed: "I miss my sister and brother-in-law, so I came here. The distance is not as far as I imagined." He saw Zheng Xianyong, who lacked language art next to him, was a little speechless, just like a nerd. Chen Zhengnan was very angry at the time, and I think there was a reason for that.

As for why Sister was determined to be with such a person, Chen Guobin was puzzled but respected her choice.

"Brother-in-law, come and move something." Chen Guobin greeted him and walked to the back of the car to open the trunk, and found a job for Zheng Xianyong who was embarrassed to do nothing. It would be much better to have something to do.

"Why are you bringing so many things...,..."

Chen Yirong was surprised and politely shirked, but the limited open space in a small house was suddenly piled up into a hill.

Chen Guobin quickly learned the simple situation here: the school only has two large classrooms, and there are only two teachers in total. As for how they teach Xiaoyi to Xiaoyi at the same time, Chen Guobin didn’t find it strange. There are always methods, such as teaching some children while assigning another part of the children to do homework.

Then the three of them had lunch together around the wooden table. Some of the dried meat brought by Chen Guobin finally reduced the green atmosphere on the table. He also opened a bottle of white wine with Zheng Xianyong, which was rare to drink. After drinking a few small cups, Zheng Xianyong finally said a little more.

Chen Yirong has very little contact with her family in recent years, only once or twice a year. She usually calls the post office in the village and talks with He Liping for a few minutes. Until now, Chen Yirong only knows that Chen Guobin is married and works in the agency, and the details are unknown. Chen Guobin has long been used to this sister who doesn't want to stay in the mountains all year round. Sometimes he also wants to come over and see it, but he has not been able to travel due to this reason. Over time, an objective situation has formed a situation of not having contact with each other.

Chen Yirong couldn't help asking about the situation at home, and Chen Guobin told her enthusiastically, except for the officialdom part that she was not interested in.

"Guobin, are you still working in Pingjiang? It's inconvenient to come from there, why are you so unattended to run around? Do you know?" Chen Yirong frowned and worried, but she still called He Liping before the New Year. She had been to Pingjiang as well and was deeply impressed. Of course, that happened a long time ago.

"I have been transferred to Xinyang County, Xingcheng after the New Year. It's not very far away. It's convenient to borrow a friend's car to drive it myself." Chen Guobin looked relaxed.

"Xinyang? Why is it so far?" Chen Yirong wondered, "Did Yaqin be transferred together?" She had heard the name of her sister-in-law Fu, but she didn't know that she was a great county lady, and it was not as simple as playing house.

Jing Guobin was a little ashamed and said lightly: "Yaqin is still in Pingjiang for the time being. It doesn't matter that the transportation is convenient now. National Highway No. 7 was opened and upgraded two years ago, and Xinping Highway has also been repaired. Now it only takes three hours from Xinyang to Lingyang and to Pingjiang."

"Ah...so fast?" Chen Yirong's face was a little surprised that she had left the outside world for too long. The impression was still several years ago, and it took five hours to go from the provincial capital to Lingyang.

"The times are developing and changing rapidly..." Chen Guobin sighed and found that sister was actually still concerned about the affairs at home and outside.

During the chat, with a little alcoholism, Zheng Xianyong showed the characteristics of a struggling young man and criticized the inaction of the officialdom, especially the 100,000 infrastructure funds applied for to renovate the school. The county education bureau has not even let go of a fart for several years, which makes him even more indignant.

"This school was built in the 1960s and now officials cannot see the actual situation below. People from the county education bureau don't even know the location of Xiaofeng Primary School."

Listening to the stern brother-in-law who had been generous, Chen Guobin was a little helpless. He understood that the officials were not actually gods. The stalls in charge were often very large, and it was not easy to take care of them everywhere, especially this broken place where they would have to be peeled off once they came in. Moreover, the funds of each unit were generally very tight. Under the premise of a large number of schools that were close to each other and more influential in the image, it was normal to turn a blind eye to such a very remote school that no one saw.

If it were him, he would not be far away from the near and far away, and to the overall situation, unless the money was too much. Of course, if he was the director of the county, he could have done something special. The county education bureau is really not a big deal. And it is actually very simple to really help. Chen Guobin is now an unknown boss, and pulling out a hair or two is just a matter of raising his hands.

Chen Guobin sighed very much: "The country's financial resources are still quite limited now. It is difficult for schools like this to rely on government forces for transformation for the time being, and they need to rely more on civilian forces. Alas, this place is too remote and the transportation is very inconvenient. The problems that need to be solved are far more than the schools. The more than ten kilometers of roads need to be repaired."

Zheng Xianyong shook his head: "It's too far to build the road, and this project is much bigger than that of the school."

Chen Guobin said lightly: "It's nothing as long as you are willing to find a way. The level of the road does not need to be high. It's not astronomical."

The two looked at him in surprise and said, "Guobin, what are you good at?"

Chen Guobin sat and spoke without a pain in his back: "You can ask others to donate money."

The two of them were suddenly disappointed, and Zheng Xianyong looked helpless: "No one knows how to donate this place? Even if they know, why donate?"

Chen Guobin smiled: "There are actually many people who donate, but there are also many people who receive donations. It depends on the way. The Eight Immortals cross the sea and each show their magical powers. As long as you plan and publicize it carefully, fully demonstrate the urgent need for assistance here and touch everyone's heartstrings, it will naturally be easy."

Zheng Xianyong laughed at himself: "Nothing is that easy." He felt that the younger brother seemed to be too far from reality and didn't know how to do it in the officialdom.

"It's up to people!" Chen Guobin emphasized seriously, paused and looked at the two with a keen look. "Sister, brother-in-law, are you really planning to take root here?"

Chen Yirong and Zheng Xianyong couldn't help but look at each other in a daze. After several years of hard work, they discovered the simple ideal at that time.

For the children in the mountainous areas, it gradually became blurred. Although they were highly respected by the villagers here and allowed many children to go out to study outside, the poverty here has not changed much, and it is still almost the same as when they came. When the outside world has changed so much, they can't help but have doubts about their life value, but because of habit, they have never said it.

Chen Yirong was a little confused: "We need this place."

Chen Guobin pointed out incisively: "What you need here is to teach primary school teachers, so that you only need substitute teachers at high school level. And as rare talents in higher education institutions, staying in such places is not only a waste of their own life value, but also a great waste to society. There is absolutely reason to believe that as long as you are willing, you can make much greater contributions to the mountainous areas than you are now. I think you should go out. You are not mainly because you like simple life, but for the mountainous areas……………….”

The two were shocked suddenly.

"What can we do even if we go out?" Chen Yirong couldn't help but frown. She had been used to here for too long and felt a little unfamiliar with the rapidly developing society outside.

"You can teach in key schools, so that your abilities can be more fully demonstrated.

You can also do charity and set up special institutions to help those places that need to be funded, such as schools here…”

Chen Guobin explained the art of charity from shallow to deep, paying special attention to the actual situation of this broken place, while answering the questions they raised. When mentioning that his friends who opened a company were keen on charity, they were lit up and they became interested in the path of charity.

Chen Guobin came with the idea of ​​persuading them to go out, so he came over to take a look. As a result, he was touched by the environment for a while, and he really wanted to get his sister back to the family. He worked so hard just now, and he had the idea of ​​doing charity. The two of them could withstand the hardships. They stayed in the deep mountains for so long and fully possessed the most important basic awareness of doing charity.

At night, Chen Guobin continued to instill a lot of things into them, so that their mentality would change a little more as soon as possible. That night, he built a shop in the classroom with a desk, and said goodbye to leave after lunch the next day. He knew that they would not stay here after being triggered with new enthusiasm, but it still took some time to deal with it. Of course, it would take considerable courage to withdraw from the villagers' reputation.

Before leaving, Chen Guobin left the contact information and asked Chen Yirong and Zheng Xianyong to call him immediately when he was about to leave. He would make corresponding arrangements. After a day of conversation, they also had a new understanding of this brother who was very thoughtful. After being inspired, their vision quickly expanded. In fact, they were not originally a thing in the pool, but they were very thoughtful back then.

It was already evening when he rushed back to Xinyang. Chen Guobin, who was quite calm, parked the car and walked back to the office apartment. He saw the No. 2 leader car in Pingjiang downstairs. He was stunned and looked up and saw that his director's house was brightly lit and looked particularly warm...
