"Boss, tell the college students to get ready for dinner!"
The woman called out, and two boys who were sitting in the yard smoking and chatting with the men at home responded with a smile and ran to the kitchen to help serve the dishes. The woman kept being polite, saying things like they couldn't afford it.
The two relatively sensible young men were very polite and went to the kitchen, "Big sister, where are the bowls? I'll scoop out the rice!"
The woman who was stirring the food in a large iron pan with a spatula turned around, lifted a piece of greasy plastic paper, took out four bowls from the grid embedded in the wall, and handed them to a young man.
The young man looked at the dust at the bottom of the bowl, touched the slippery bowl wall, and asked, "Is there any hot water?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then lifted the lid of a pot on the earthen stove and pointed to the pot that was half full of water. "There is hot water here during the day. If you need it later, just come here and scoop it up."
The young man silently scooped a bowl of water, washed the bowl, and then asked, "Where do you pour the water?"
The woman took the last bowl and poured the water against the wall.
Boy:......
Finally, they sat down at the table, with the family of four sitting on each side. The man looked at the three bowls of food and a bowl of kimchi in front of him and said with a smile, "Yes! It's a sumptuous meal!"
The two young men looked at each other and remained silent.
"Come on, college students, try our authentic farm dishes. I heard that the people from the TV station in the village committee really like our farm dishes and they want to eat them every day!"
The man picked up the chopsticks and invited enthusiastically.
The two young men smiled politely and picked up the chopsticks. They felt a little wet and sticky when they touched them. They saw a patch of black mold on the tip of the chopsticks.
......
The situation was happening in every household, but fortunately, they were just having a meal or something, so there wouldn't be any major conflicts.
Because they had just arrived that day, no activities were arranged. They mainly familiarized themselves with the environment and wrote diaries. For the rest of the day, these college students visited houses and wandered around together. They had a pretty relaxing time.
But as night fell, problems began to multiply.
The first thing is taking a bath. Most families in Hushan Village do not have a special place for bathing. Occasionally, when they really need to take a bath, they just find a corner to take a bath at night without turning on the lights. With Huo Qianli's advance preparation this time, he forced every host family to mark out an area and cover it with wooden boards or bamboo mats.
At the same time, since most families have both boys and girls, Huo Qianli also asked the school teacher to instruct in advance that if two girls live together, one should be there to help watch while one is taking a bath, to prevent any possible privacy exposure.
But even with such an arrangement, many girls were still troubled by the simple and dilapidated conditions.
One girl even fell and got a bruise on her leg.
Then, there were various trivial matters like going to the toilet. Huo Qianli bought toilet paper in advance and distributed it to every household, asking them to prepare it in the toilet. However, some villagers were reluctant to do so and hid the paper, asking the college students to learn from them and scrape it with bamboo sticks, which almost made the students die of anxiety.
And those who take a walk in the yard after dinner and step on chicken shit;
The villagers kindly brought a urine bucket, but couldn’t stand the stench;
The light bulb at home is broken and there is no light;
Huo Qianli, along with members of the village committee and a group of staff, put out fires all night long.
The biggest outbreak occurred after eight o'clock in the evening.
On the bus, the fashionable girl named Jiang Li was assigned to live with an elderly couple together with another girl.
The two of them were mentally prepared for what happened during the day and they gritted their teeth and endured it.
But before going to bed, Jiang Li planned to go to the kitchen to get a basin of hot water. She couldn't find a ladle, so she planned to take a bowl from the cupboard to scoop water. As a result, when she opened the cupboard, three cockroaches "escaped from prison" at the same time.
"ah!"
After a shrill scream, Lily rushed back to her room, took out her cell phone from her bag, and called her teacher.
"Teacher! I can't stand it anymore! I want to change rooms!"
"You have no idea how filthy this family is! The bowls they use to eat are covered in grease when you touch them, and the chopsticks are still black even after I wiped them three times with paper!"
"And their tables were covered in grease. When I rubbed my sleeves on them, there was a layer of grease! Not to mention the stove, there was a thick layer of grease on it, almost as thick as asphalt!"
"The most important thing is that there are a lot of cockroaches in their cupboard! Didn't I say that if you see one cockroach, it means there are thousands! This is a cupboard! It holds the bowls for eating! I'm afraid I'll die here!"
"No! I have to change!"
"Okay! I'll wait for you!"
After hanging up the phone, she turned around and saw an old couple who had been standing at the door with embarrassed expressions.
She took a deep breath, lowered her head, pretended not to see it, and began to pack her luggage.
The teacher arrived quickly, not because he ran fast, but because he happened to be nearby having just dealt with another situation.
Beside him was Huo Qianli.
Needless to say, the teacher would never start the persuasion process, otherwise the whole thing would be a mess.
Just as the teacher was persuading Lily, the old couple pulled Huo Qianli, who was standing by the door watching, and pulled him aside.
The old man looked apologetic and said, "Officer Huo, I'm sorry. We have embarrassed you and brought shame to the village."
Huo Qianli said quickly: "Please don't say that! It's not that serious, it's really not that serious."
He consoled them, "I've seen your family, it's not that exaggerated. I've never been in contact with a child from the city, so her words may be a little exaggerated. At the same time, if there is any offense, I apologize on her behalf."
