Two days ago, Yang Huan, who came back from her hometown and started her "adventure" graduation trip with Ding Xiang, came to the mountains in Western Hunan.

To be exact, Ding Xiang's hometown is a remote mountain in tuche Township, yanye County, maota City, Xiangxi province.

A trip to her home was a lot of trouble. Yang Huan and Ding Xiang first took the train to the city, and then took a five hour long-distance bus to yanye county (because the mountain road has eighteen bends, it's hard to walk around the National Road).

When she arrived in yanye County, Ding Xiang told Yang Huan that when she was studying in the past, she walked back slowly by herself. But now it's all right. When a highway was built to tuche Township, Ding Xiang and Yang Huan took a tricycle bus (that is, a motorcycle head followed by a large box) and took a bus to tuche township.

The bus is still open, eating dust and eating dirt all the way, and both girls are somewhat disheartened.

Fortunately, Yang huancan accept that she herself came out of the countryside. This scene was her normal before. Therefore, she joked with Ding Xiang and said, "sister Ding Xiang, although our hometown is rural, it is still a little different. My hometown is in the basin, but your hometown is in the mountains."

After arriving at tuche Township, Ding Xiang took Yang Huanxian to find a small hotel to stay, because night had already come. They took a night off, had breakfast the next morning, bought some steamed stuffed buns to take with them, and then went on to set off!

The next journey was a big challenge for Yang Huan. She had to walk along the steep mountain road with Ding Xiang. She walked through three high mountains in a half turn and half circle. It was almost after noon that she came to the foot of the Miao village of Ding Xiang's family.

They had to climb up the dangerous stone steps. Although the scenery along the way was very beautiful, and the higher they climbed, the more they could see the mountains and lush forests in the distance, Yang Huan didn't have much mind to look around. He just wanted to go to Ding Xiang's home as soon as possible and have a good rest.

It was really two days and a night. When the sun had obviously tilted to the West and was not far away from the downhill, Yang Huan and Ding Xiang finally got home!

There is no big surprise. This is a poor and backward village. The old buildings are similar to the poor and dilapidated Wudaokou village that Yang Huan remembered when he was very young. Of course, Wudaokou village is much better now. Even without Yang Yi, people in the village also live in brick and tile houses. With Yang Yi, they are heading for a happy and well-off life step by step.

However, people are still very enthusiastic about this village called Baiyao village. When they see Ding Xiang and Yang Huan, they all speak Miao language and say hello to them. There are also some children in the village who run to Yang Huan with their bare butt and look at her curiously. Their vivid black eyes still have the liveliness of their age.

"Hello Although Yang Huan is very tired, but still happy from his backpack, take out some small candy to these children.

Yang Yi learned this from her brother. Every time she went back to her hometown, she would bring candy to the children in the village.

"Uncle and grandmother, they asked where you came from. I told them that you are my classmate. Come here to play. Then they are very happy and say welcome to you." Ding Xiang helped Yang Huan translate Miao language.

"Thank you. Thank you, uncle, aunt, grandfather and grandmother!" Yang Huan quickly replied and nodded gratefully to the other party.

The people of Miao village also continue to speak enthusiastically.

Ding Xiang translated: "everyone said that they didn't say it in advance, so they didn't prepare anything. It's very impolite. Then I'll invite you to dinner at home, and then I'll kill chickens to welcome you. "

"So enthusiastic!" Yang Huan is a little flattered, however, who wants to invite her to eat at home, where does she have the art of separation?

"Or forget it. I think it's hard for everyone to live, and it's not easy to raise chickens and ducks. I'll go to your house and have some simple food! " Yang Huan still calmed down. She had a hard time, so she could be considerate of others.

Ding Xiang actually thinks so, but the enthusiasm of the aunts and uncles is the tradition of their village, so she doesn't mean to remind Yang Huan.

Now Yang Huan declined, and Ding Xiang helped Yang Huan organize the language and persuade the villagers back.

Back at Ding Xiang's home, Yang Huan also met with Ding Xiang's grandmother. After her recovery, she was still in good health. Although her waist was bent and her ears were not so good, she still planted vegetables and chickens in the small field behind the stockade all day long. She was self-sufficient and did not bother others as much as possible.

Ding Xiang's grandmother also took Yang Huan and said a lot of words. Even Ding Xiang couldn't hear them clearly and couldn't translate them.

After sitting with the old man for a while, Ding Xiang was busy cooking dinner. She and Yang Huan only had a few steamed stuffed buns at noon and were already cooing with hunger.

"I can't make a call. There's no signal in the mountains. Why, sister Ding Xiang, I'll help you! " Yang Huan, who takes out her mobile phone to report safety to Yang Yi, comes back regretfully. Seeing Ding Xiang cooking, she also wants to help. Ding Xiang can't resist her.

"You've been climbing the mountain all day. You're tired. You should have a rest first." Yang Huan snatched Ding Xiang's rice pot, so he had to take a wooden basin to wash vegetables. "If you call, you have to go to the countryside. There is no signal tower here. Ah, I forgot to tell you.""It's OK. We'll talk about it tomorrow! I was tired when I climbed up, but I didn't feel tired when I saw so many enthusiastic villagers. " Yang Huanxi, while washing rice, said, "sister Dingxiang, your physical fitness is better than me! I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child. I'm not as strong as you. I've been climbing the mountain all day and I'm not tired to get down! "

"I'm used to it!"

Yang Huan chatted with Ding Xiang: "but then again, the situation in your hometown is even worse than I imagined. I used to think that our hometown was so remote and poor, but I didn't expect that you were even poorer than we were at that time! At least we can build roads in our hometown, but we can't see the possibility of building roads in your mountains. "

Ding Xiang sighed softly and said, "yes, I used to think that I would find a way to make the villagers in the village live a good life after reading. Now... "

Ding Xiang some can't say, on the face heavy frustrated expression already explained everything.

"Can't change, can only go out." Yang Huan thought of his own experience after going out of the countryside and couldn't help but whisper.

Ding Xiang chuckled gently and said, "yes, but the thinking of the older generation is very difficult to control. We can only hope for the younger generation. I also hope that my brothers and sisters, like me, will have the opportunity to go out of the mountains and see the outside world. "

"Reading Reading is the best way to change your destiny. " Yang Huan is not without her more than half a year ago. With more experience, Yang Huan has a profound understanding of the saying that reading changes fate.

"We used to have a school in the mountains, which was established by an old grandfather who had passed the examination of a scholar. But he died very early. Later, the village sent us a private teacher named Tao Shuping. I read and learn arithmetic with grandfather Tao. He can't speak English, but he really does his duty and teaches us basic knowledge patiently. One day, grandfather Tao said to me, "Ding Xiang, you should go to the countryside to study and go to junior high school to learn more..." Ding Xiang seemed to recall the past with Yang Huan.

With the help of grandfather Tao, Ding Xiang went out. However, when she was in high school, her grandfather was out of health and died of illness. However, grandfather Tao left a sum of money to support Ding Xiang to finish high school. The rest of the way, of course, is Ding Xiang himself to work, save tuition, slowly break out.

"And then? After the death of grandfather Tao, what happened to the school? " Yang Huan heard two tears. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and asked.

After grandfather Tao left, the school was abandoned again. Although several private teachers came in one after another, not everyone was as selfless and dedicated as grandfather Tao. One by one, they were frightened by the bitter place of Baiyao village. They stayed for the longest two weeks, and then all ran away!

Ding Xiang wants to come back to teach after high school, but the uncles and aunts in the village don't agree. They say that Ding Xiang is the first college student in baiyaozhai. She has to set an example for the children!

"What can I do? Another generation has no chance to read. " Yang Huan said anxiously.

"It's OK. It's all right now." A smile appeared on Ding Xiang's face.

Last winter vacation, Ding Xiang went home. She not only took her grandmother down the mountain to see a doctor, but also went to the village to find a way to solve the problem that no teacher was willing to come to the village to teach children to read. She personally paid for the private teachers to increase subsidies, and used money to keep them. She also invited two teachers to teach in turn, which solved the problem that they had been in the mountains for many years The problem of family reunion!

After listening to Ding Xiang's story, Yang Huan's face was full of surprise.

"No wonder, sister Ding Xiang, I said that you are always reluctant to spend money!" Yang Huan looked at Ding Xiang very moved and said.

Yes, that makes sense!

Before Yang Huan and Guo Ziyi have always felt very strange, why Yang Yi has given Ding Xiang a very high salary, but Ding Xiang has been reluctant to spend! She was even reluctant to buy herself a new set of clothes. She usually wore those old clothes!

Yang Huan is different. Although she didn't spend money lavishly, after all, after all, after all, when the family conditions were better, she was not as poor as before, and she was willing to spend the money she should spend. Usually, she asked Ding Xiang to go shopping to buy clothes (a very common pedestrian street). Ding Xiang refused in every way. She even took the clothes that Murphy had given her before and said to Yang Huan, "I have so many new clothes that I can't wear them."

By the way! Guo Ziyi also once suggested to Ding Xiang that she should buy a house in Jiangcheng with a loan, which was a no loss investment, but Ding Xiang did not agree.

It turned out that all the money she saved was spent here.
