"They are all shoes, for children." Teacher Jiang's answer stunned Jiang Li for a moment.
"Shoes?" Jiang Li suspected that he heard wrongly.
"Well, shoes, for the children to wear during the New Year." Teacher Jiang smiled, and for a moment Jiang Li felt that the cold wind pouring in from the opened door curtain was full of warmth.
"Fifty-four pairs of shoes, all tightly tied, filling the whole bag." Limak knew the opportunity and immediately scanned it and told Jiang Li.
When he came outside the store, he saw an agricultural vehicle parked in the open space. In the cab, there was a woman holding a tightly wrapped baby. Only then did Jiang Li understand why the person who came called Teacher Jiang didn't.
Let him sit in the car and fight. You can't let a woman with a baby in her arms sit in the back, right? And the cab is not big. It can accommodate two people, but if it takes three people, it may affect the driver's operation.
If there is an emergency and the driver fails to operate, it may lead to a big tragedy.[
Seeing Jiang Li and Teacher Jiang coming out, the woman smiled sheepishly at Teacher Jiang and said, "I've made Teacher Jiang tired. I shouldn't have let you fight in the car."
Fortunately, the agricultural vehicle is not an open one. It has a shed on the truck body. It should be modified like a van. The vehicle is full of new year's goods. Jiang Li has good eyesight and saw bags of candies.
There were boxes of biscuits, wine, cigarettes and other things, but in the middle of it, maybe considering that Teacher Jiang wanted to sit, they specially made a hard sofa out of those cardboard boxes that were durable.
The one with a seat and a backrest even used two boxes of biscuits to pile up a small platform on the side, presumably for Teacher Jiang to put things on.
Now there was one more person who wanted to sit in the car. The driver, the middle-aged man who first put his head in to call Teacher Jiang, a skinny little man with wrinkles, ran to the car and fiddled with it for a while, expanding the empty space. Jiang
After Li and Teacher Jiang got in, as soon as the carriage door was closed, it was completely dark inside. Jiang Li smiled bitterly. It was so dark that he could see nothing, but Teacher Jiang might not be able to see it.
"Limac, how long can your lighting function last?" Jiang Li asked Limac.
"Two hours, which is equivalent to the brightness of a 3W energy-saving lamp. I have to leave some energy, otherwise I will go into sleep. However, if you are willing to give up energy, you can spend two units of energy to complete the work."
The lighting lasts for more than ten hours. The lighting alone does not require so much. The main thing is to separate a part of the work package and turn it into an emergency light. From deformation to restoration, this part of the energy consumed accounts for 100%.
There are more than ninety-nine. In fact, one ten thousandth of a unit of energy cannot be used for lighting."
Two units, Jiang Li couldn't bear to part with them. The energy of one unit made Old Wei almost anxious with him. How could he be willing to use such precious energy on lighting? Limak's two hours of lighting should be enough for food and drink.
No matter how slow it was, it would take less than two hours. When he arrived in Weishui County, he found a hotel to stay in and one night, Limak was full of energy again.
The car started quickly, and the two of them chatted for a while in the dark. Of course, it was dark compared to Teacher Jiang. For Jiang Li, he could still see things clearly, although not as well as during the day.
Clearly, this vision is far beyond that of ordinary people.
It turns out that Teacher Jiang's name is Jiang Jiali. Coincidentally, there is only one word difference with Jiang Li's name. No wonder he was happy when he heard Jiang Li's name. Jiang Jiali is a substitute teacher at a teaching site in a small mountain village in Weishui County.
, he also went to college, but he went to college for a year and a half because his family really couldn't afford it. Although the tuition was waived with the help of the school, the living expenses were only four steamed buns and pickles every day.
He couldn't afford the living expenses, so he dropped out of school and went home to work as a substitute teacher.
Although substitute teachers have long been clearly stipulated and started to retire, the village of Xiaozhaibao where Teacher Jiang is located has high mountains and long roads, inconvenient transportation, and very backward economic conditions. Almost no teachers are willing to stay. Before Teacher Jiang, he stayed the longest.
The historical record is that a teacher in the village gave up his job after staying for one semester. Therefore, in this case, Jiang Jiali, the most educated person in the village, has been serving as a substitute teacher for three years. In addition, he has
He is from this village and fellow countryman. Everyone has watched him grow up and can safely leave their children to him.
This time, an old classmate of his in the city called to inform him that there was a store that needed to deal with children's shoes. The classmate helped him order dozens of pairs of shoes. The owner of the store was also from the countryside. When he heard that he was
There were dozens of pairs of shoes for the children in the mountains to wear during the Chinese New Year, but they were not worth much, so they readily agreed to give them away. Therefore, early in the morning, Jiang Jiali followed the owner of the only small shop in the township.
The city came to pick up shoes, and the owner of the small shop was the middle-aged woman holding a baby. As for the agricultural vehicle, she also asked for it.
"The children are suffering. Many children are still wearing straw sandals." In the darkness, Jiang Jiali sighed faintly.
"What about you? Aren't you suffering?" The salary of a substitute teacher is not high, and it is not at the same level as the teachers in the establishment. One of Jiang Li's cousins once worked as a substitute teacher for three years, earning only 200 RMB per month.
Lai Yuan's salary and other bonuses were all due to him. Even if his cousin raised the grade of a poor class to the best in the school district, he would not receive a dime of bonus. At that time, the official in the establishment
Teachers' salaries have already reached nearly one thousand. Of course, that was a few years ago in coastal areas. If it were Hexi Province in the west, the salary of rural teachers might not be that high. Then how much could a substitute teacher have?
One can imagine.
"What am I afraid of when I am suffering? As long as we can train one child in our village, if there is one child, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be four. If a bunch of them are passed on, as long as everyone can get better, I will be happy."
It's worth it. Hehe, of course, this is a cliché. Since our names are only one word apart, we might have been brothers five hundred years ago. To be honest, I want to go out for a walk too. But in the countryside
Dear fellow villagers, when I was studying in the early years, the villagers helped me a lot. It is no exaggeration to say that I grew up eating hundreds of meals. When I was studying in the county town, if anyone from the village went to the county, they would give me food.
A few cents or a few yuan, these few cents or a few yuan, to your coastal areas, is just a little snack money, but it is their daily fuel and salt money. You say, now that I have grown up,
Their children have no one to teach them how to read, how can I bear it? Then wouldn’t I become a white-eyed wolf?”
There was silence in the carriage.
After a long time, Jiang Li regained consciousness, reached out and patted Jiang Jiali on the shoulder: "I believe it will get better." But Jiang Li had nothing to do, he didn't bring much money with him, and he didn't give it away.
Nothing could be solved, and Jiang Li didn't know how much it would cost to take the package. Faintly, Jiang Li hoped to see the person who picked up the package earlier.
Just like the first order, the package only gave the destination of Weishui, without the name of the recipient and no contact information. Jiang Li had to wait for him to come to the door and use the wealth of the Luoma people to build a building for the children in a small mountain village.
It shouldn't be difficult for a school to buy one or two sets of clothes, right? This time, even if Jiang Li had to reluctantly give up one or two units of energy, he would accept it.
The car stopped again. Jiang Li opened the door and saw that it was an unknown town. The car was parked in front of a snack bar on the side of the town. The driver got out of the car and shouted to Jiang Jiali: "
Teacher Jiang, it’s too cold back there. Let’s go drink some hot soup before we go on the road. We’re not in a hurry. Anyway, we’re just going to sleep when we go back. We’re not busy. Let’s rest here for a while and wait for the body to warm up before we go on the road. We’ll have another rest for a couple of days ahead.
Just the next time will be fine.”
Jiang Li looked at his watch, and before he knew it, nearly two hours had passed. He asked Jiang Jiali, "Where are we?"
"Oh, this is just out of Xiding City. When we reach Longshang, there is a big mountain in front of us. We have to climb seventy-two turns. There are no shops on the mountain and there is no place to add water, so passing cars will stop here.
Let’s take a rest in the shop, check the condition of the car, fill up the water, and then go on. Once we cross the mountain, we will have completed half of the Ridge Mountains, and we have also completed half of the journey.” Jiang Jiali followed Jiang Li and jumped out of the car.
I stamped my feet and rubbed my ears. Although the carriage was closed, it was not completely closed. There was still wind leaking in during the journey.[
Since he was a hitchhiker, Jiang Li was too embarrassed to eat for free, so he ordered a bowl of hot noodle soup for everyone before the driver, Jiang Jiali and the grocery store owner's wife, and paid for it first. The driver was fine, anyway.
His money was fixed for the day, no matter how much he or she had, but the grocery store proprietress was grabbed by Jiang Li to pay, and she felt a little embarrassed: "Brother, how can I ask you to pay?"
"It should, it should, to be honest, if you didn't take me with you, I wouldn't know what I would do. You guys have done me a big favor." Jiang Li smiled. The one from the store looked like a crescent when he smiled.
The little girl in Crescent Moon took a bowl of hot noodle soup in her hands and handed it over. Jiang Jiali also helped to carry it. The little girl looked at Jiang Li, then at Jiang Jiali, pursed her lips and smiled again, giving Jiang Jiali and Jiang Jiali
A few more wontons were added to the bowl.
"Wow, wow! Boss, that little girl is very fond of you. Come on, why don't you leave today? Just rest here for a night, maybe you will have an affair!" Limak was thinking through it all the time.
Read Jiang Li's brain waves to observe things outside. The work bag also has a scanning function, but it can only scan one side. When Jiang Li is carried on his back, he can only scan the back of Jiang Li, and when he gets off the car
,Jiang Li did not carry out the work package.
"Shut up!" Jiang Li blushed, "I am taking advantage of Jiang Jiali."
Look at Jiang Jiali again. This guy didn't look shy at all in front of Jiang Li. But when the little girl added wontons to his bowl, his hands trembled obviously, his face turned red, and he didn't dare to look at her.
