But going to school does not cost money, but raising children does cost money.
Children at that age are already considered good laborers in the family, and they can help create some economic value at ordinary times.
If the child is sent to study, this part of the source will be gone, and there may be extra tuition and miscellaneous fees.
So, in fact, these children who can walk the mountain road for half an hour to go to school are considered lucky compared to other children in the village.
Chapter 255
This is why Li Wenhao frowned, because these places cannot be changed by just building a few schools.
The first is to change the concept of those parents.
It is useless to tell people who have spent their whole life facing the loess and facing the sky in the mountains and valleys that "reading can change your destiny".
Because the main dilemma they have to face now is survival. If all the children in the family are sent to school, the family's financial resources cannot be guaranteed.
Under the pressure of survival, it is empty to talk about the future.
Therefore, in this area, Li Wenhao not only needs to build schools, but also enables these children to create their own "value" in the family.
In this case, Li Wenhao has already considered it, that is, to adopt the scholarship system, and the threshold for these scholarships can be slightly lowered.
Then, in order for these children to successfully graduate from high school, the established schools also need to cover elementary school to high school.
This is much better than sending money directly, and it can also let them know from an early age that only by giving can they gain.
Of course, there are still some disadvantages in this way. There are some children who are not good at reading, and they will lose their opportunities.
But Li Wenhao can only express regret about this, because at present in these places, it is true that resources can only be concentrated on more talented people.
Of course, for those people, he will try his best to ensure that they can receive a full junior high school education.
Because at this age, the mind has already begun to mature.
Having them known about the outside world may benefit their offspring in the future.
Change does not happen overnight, and sometimes it is necessary to do so step by step.
···
Just as Li Wenhao was thinking, a cold hand suddenly pressed on the back of his head, and then gently pressed his brow with his index finger.
Song Mixue did not know when she had already circled behind him.
With her massage, his frown just now was gradually smoothed away.
I have to say that this little assistant is getting more and more sensible now.
After pressing for a while, Li Wenhao patted her hand lightly, making her stop.
"I intend to......"
"You have people perfect these plans, and then start on-site exploration and school site selection."
"It's up to you to follow up on this matter, and report the situation to me at any time."
Li Wenhao explained the plan in his heart, and then gave Song Mixue instructions.
Naturally, someone will be responsible for prospecting and running errands.
"Ok."
At work, Song Michelle is still adhering to the usual cleanliness.
After fully understanding Li Wenhao's plan, he immediately left the office to start issuing tasks.
After finishing his busy work, Li Wenhao picked up his phone and found a message on it, which was sent by Yu Wanfei.
The information said that she had already boarded the plane, and the time was still an hour ago.
Seeing this, Li Wenhao stretched himself, took a thin coat and left the office.
This is for Yu Wanfei. She may still be wearing short-sleeved clothes in Guangyang City, but the temperature in Shanghai is already a little low.
After arriving at the airport, Li Wenhao first put on sunglasses and dressed up before getting out of the car.
After all, he has a little reputation now, so he doesn't want to be reported all kinds of gossip every day.
However, his attire still attracted some people's attention.
In fact, even if he is wearing sunglasses, he can still recognize this handsome guy from the outline of his face.
Coupled with the fact that he was accompanied by several bodyguards, it was difficult not to be misunderstood.
"Hey, is that that...that's that..."
"I know, it's that Afan, right?"
"That's right, that's the one named Afan, so handsome."
"No, this is obviously Ah Feng, what are your eyes?"
"That's right, look at that figure and that face, I often see it on TV, it's Ah Feng."
"Fart, I'm Afan's true fan, will I admit my mistake?"
"Go away, you fake fan."
"..."
When the news here spread to the Internet to let Li Wenhao know, don't mention how dark his face was.
Because it's really unlucky for these two fellow sufferers.
But he obviously didn't pay attention to this right now, because he had already spotted Yu Wanfei's figure.
At this time, she was just as he guessed, probably because she was frozen, and she rubbed her arms with her hands from time to time while walking.
But at this moment, she obviously also saw Li Wenhao's figure, after all, his position is very conspicuous.
Immediately, Yu Wanfei didn't care about her physical discomfort, and ran towards him directly.
Seeing her leaping figure, Li Wenhao hurriedly rushed up to her and stopped her directly: "Go, let's go to the car first."
With that said, he put his clothes on Yu Wanfei's shoulders, then turned and left the airport hall.
Obviously, he was afraid that paparazzi or someone would recognize him. After all, if he could keep a low profile, he had to keep a low profile.
Seeing Li Wenhao's actions, Yu Wanfei also reacted instantly and restrained her excitement.
Feeling the warmth of the jacket on her body, she smiled happily, and followed the pace in front of her.
After arriving in the car, Yu Wanfei finally couldn't hold back and threw herself on Li Wenhao's body, and even hugged him and took a bite: "I want to die."
"Okay, let's go, old Zhang."
After the two entangled for a while, Li Wenhao pushed her away and said to the driver.
"and many more."
Yu Wanfei suddenly made a sound, and when he was puzzled, she quickly handed the phone to Zhang Yuan: "Uncle, go to this place first."
Zhang Yuan took the phone, but didn't start the car immediately, apparently waiting for Li Wenhao's opinion.
Seeing this scene, Yu Wanfei stretched her neck, moved closer to Li Wenhao's side and whispered:
"In the last month, not only did I play by myself, I also studied tutorials online. Do you want to try it?"
After she finished speaking, she showed an inexplicable smile, as if she was sure that Li Wenhao would immediately agree.
Seeing this, Li Wenhao naturally couldn't make her wish come true, and after persisting for a few minutes, he said:
"Ahem, Lao Zhang, just follow what she said."
"Okay, boss."
Zhang Yuan in the front row didn't look sideways, and the car started off smoothly and left the airport.
It seemed that what happened just now did not cause the slightest disturbance in his heart.
Chapter 256
Bi City, Guizhou Province,
On an unnamed mountain in the Chihe Canyon of Guanshan District.
Because most of this mountain is formed of stones, the locals also call it Jieshan.
At this time, the sun had just risen, and a few places on the mountain began to billow with smoke.
The cooking smoke rises slowly, connecting with the morning mist lingering on the mountain, as if this lifeless rocky mountain can breathe.
If outsiders see this scene, they will definitely feel the beauty of the scenery.
However, under this beautiful scenery, there is also a lot of bitterness hidden.
These cooking smokes signify that the mountain people living on this mountain have started a busy day.
At the beginning of the day, they need to get up early to cook firewood.
One breakfast, one lunch.
Lunch is usually steamed homemade dry food.
After steaming, the dry food will be put in a cloth bag, and then carried into the mountains, and will not go home until evening.
Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draft water.
For thousands of years, they have survived in this way, passed on from generation to generation.
They go into the mountains every day, and then pick some mountain products on the mountain, and then look at the traps they set up yesterday, hoping to catch some animals.
Mountain products and dried animal fur can also be sold outside the mountain for some money, and then buy some other daily necessities.
In such a hustle and bustle, the adults began to go to the mountains, while the women in the family did some needlework to supplement the family income.
The children in the family will not be left behind, and usually they will help with some light tasks, such as drying firewood and carrying water.
···
Bi Lianshan started to get up at dawn as usual, and then cooked the rice.
Then, while cooking, I finished all the work at home that I could do.
The children in this city are still at the age of playing with mud, and he can already appreciate the difficulties at home.
Especially after sending him to school, the burden on his father's shoulders became even heavier.
His father didn't complain about anything, and he didn't ask him to drop school and come back home to help, just let him study at ease.
It's been like this for more than five years.
I still remember the scene where the principal wearing glasses came to the door in person to persuade his father to let him go to school more than five years ago.
At that time, when they heard that the headmaster came from outside, the people in the village were quite novel.
But after hearing that the outsider asked them to send their children to school, most of the mountain people shook their heads.
Originally, his father was also strongly against it, but then a word from the headmaster changed his mind:
"Do you want your descendants to stay here forever?"
Father sat on the stone pier at the door, smoked a few sticks of homemade tobacco, and finally decided to send himself to study.
Therefore, even though the family has suffered a lot in recent years, Bi Lianshan never mentioned to his father about dropping out of school.
Not only because he likes reading, but also because he wants to change his destiny as the principal said.
Since going to school, what he likes most is listening to the headmaster telling stories outside after class.
So he didn't want to stay in this mountain forever, facing the yellowish-brown land and steep mountain roads every day.
He doesn't want his descendants to face this.
He even has a bigger ideal, he wants to change the status quo in the village so that everyone can read books.
Shaking off the thoughts in his mind, Bi Lianshan extinguished the firewood, and then took out two steamed buns from the hot pot.
Now that time was running out, he took one in his hand and prepared to eat it while walking.
The other is to carry it with you in a bag and save it for lunch.
Then he hung up his little cloth bag and went out.
