Three off-road vehicles were driving smoothly in the rightmost lane of the highway.
Behind him, there were three buses.
The bus was filled with excited young people. Most of them were juniors and seniors from various universities. They had signed up voluntarily and were then screened out.
Yes, even the teachers in these schools did not expect that the students would have such high enthusiasm for this activity.
"Hey! Brother Jie, what do you think Hushan Village is like?"
The person who spoke was a boy wearing glasses, leaning on the back of the chair and looking at the classmate next to him.
A boy wearing a shirt and looking much more mature said calmly: "Didn't the teacher show us pictures? How can a poor village be any better?"
Another boy sitting behind Brother Jie also joined the discussion, speaking in Shuzhou dialect, "Do you think these few days will be fun?"
"Fun?" Brother Jie chuckled, "We are going to help the poor, to educate people, and to be the disseminators of advanced ideas. Do you think you can have fun?"
The boy with glasses shook his head and said, "No, I think what the teacher said is more appropriate. This is the interaction between the new era's ideas and the traditional farming civilization. It's a process of mutual learning. We bring our newer and more advanced things, but they also have things worth learning and thinking about."
"Brother Ran, you are already a senior and you still believe in your teachers!" Brother Jie gave him an exaggerated look and said, "So what can we learn from those farmers?"
The boy with glasses opened his mouth but couldn't say anything in rebuttal.
Several people nearby wanted to retort, but for a moment they couldn't think of anything worth learning. They couldn't just learn how to dig and hoe and farm, right?
"So, it's obvious that we are preachers, saving the ignorant and the backward. The book says that a real man should take on the responsibility, so we just need to do this well. There is nothing to be ashamed of."
Brother Jie smiled confidently, "Just wait and see. The conditions will definitely be very bad, and the villagers will be very ignorant and backward. But fortunately, there are only five days. Just hold on and complete the mission."
Bang!
Brother Jie snapped his fingers and imitated the chanting of a Western wizard, "Let the new wind of civilization follow us and blow into that remote and closed village."
......
"Lily, why are you here too?"
In another car, several girls also started chatting.
The girl named Lily was dressed very fashionably. She snorted when she heard that and said, "Why can't I go?"
"I don't mean anything else. I just heard from the teacher that the conditions are very difficult!"
"The conditions are tough... they are tough." Lily raised her voice and was about to brag, but suddenly her momentum faltered, "But it's a bonus!"
Phew!
Several girls around me started laughing.
Lily rolled her eyes, "What's so funny? Are you really the greatest heroes who serve the country and the people without any selfish motives?"
The girls looked at each other and fell silent.
Be it joining the party, getting extra points, or increasing your resume to find a job, everyone has their own ideas.
......
When the car drove from the six-lane two-way highway to the four-lane two-way provincial road, no one felt much.
On the contrary, I felt that the scenery on both sides became richer after the car slowed down, and I looked out the window.
But when the car turned from the provincial road to the county road with only two lanes in both directions, the feeling was not so pleasant.
The bus stopped and started, rubbed and swayed, and the branches on the roadside suddenly hit the window from time to time, making people shrink back in fear. The students on the bus began to feel uncomfortable.
The car drove straight through Qianfu Town without stopping.
This made many smart students wonder, how can a place that can be reached by buses be a provincial poverty-stricken village?
Unfortunately, if they had been a little smarter, they would have realized that what happened next might be worse.
The car drove very slowly after passing Qianfu Town. After all, the car was packed with college students. Even the experienced masters specially hired by the Organization Department did not dare to be careless and rocked the car slowly, making everyone in the car dizzy.
Twenty minutes later, the three leading off-road vehicles stopped and the bus also slowly braked.
Several people got off the SUV and gestured to the cars. The teacher who was maintaining order in the car immediately stood up and shouted to the cars, "Everyone get off!"
The students, who had been shaken to exhaustion, filed out one after another and stretched their bodies comfortably.
Some who couldn't bear it any longer squatted beside a roadside tree or in the grass, opening their mouths to dump out the residue churning in their stomachs, and a sour smell immediately wafted around.
The staff found their respective team leaders, exchanged a few words, and then shouted directly: "All college students, take your luggage and gather at the intersection ahead!"
"No matter the school, line up in pairs, in order!"
College students are definitely a top group when it comes to abiding by rules, and they quickly lined up.
A young man whom no one had seen before stood in front of the team. He waited for them to line up, walked silently to the end of the team, and then walked forward from the end.
Amid the students' confusion, he said, "The road ahead is very bad and cars can't go there, so everyone should walk."
ah?
There was an immediate commotion in the team, and the teachers in charge of each school quickly spoke up to stop them.
The young man continued calmly, "It's not far, only five kilometers."
