Chapter 87 I Want to Change My Destiny



It is not necessary for Fu Yu to give a reasonable explanation, because the onlookers have already followed Shen Yue's line of thought to investigate.

In a remote mountainous area in the southwest, Ahua gets up before dawn to cut grass for pigs, prepares breakfast for the family, and puts on her schoolbag to visit the school ten kilometers away.

It is called a school, but in fact it is just two rows of tiled houses with most of them collapsed, leaving only the foundations.

For fear of hitting students, no one has taught here for nine years.

Nine years ago, a group of people came here and said they wanted to donate money to build an elementary school, a middle school and a high school here. Not only would they not charge any tuition fees, they would also provide free lunch.

Not only did they bring professional surveyors, they even drew the blueprints.

Every day after that, Ah Hua would get up early, finish her housework, and walk the ten kilometers along the mountain road to the school, waiting for someone to come and start building the school.

One day, two days, three days, more than 3,200 days in nine years, no matter it was windy or snowy, Ah Hua would come here.

It’s a pity that no one came.

Perhaps God was also moved by her perseverance, and that day Ah Hua finally waited for the two young men to come.

“Are you here to build a school?”

Ah Hua stepped forward and grabbed the sleeves of the two guys as if she had seen a savior.

Netizens Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia looked at the girl in patched clothes in front of them. She looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old. Her head looked particularly large on her thin neck. They were afraid that it would fall down and roll to their feet if they were not careful.

"Who are you?" asked netizen Xiaoqiu.

"I'm Ah Hua," Ah Hua said with a smile, "I'm fifteen years old and have been waiting for the school to be built so that I can go to school here."

Seeing the two men's strange expressions, Ah Hua thought they looked down on her because of her age, so she took out a grayish-yellow book from her canvas bag, which was so rotten at the bottom that it had to be tied up with a thin straw rope to prevent it from leaking.

It was obvious that the book was quite old. The illustration on the cover was already blurry, and only the two large words "Chinese" could be barely made out.

"This is a book for the first grade of junior high school. I am almost done with it. My younger brother is in the first grade of junior high school. I have read all his books. Although I have never been to school, I know all the questions from the first grade to the first grade of junior high school. So I can start from the second grade of junior high school without any delay."

“…”

"If you still don't believe me, then you can come up with a question and I'll show you how to do it."

"That's not the question." Xiao Qiu stopped her from finding a stone for him to write on the ground. "How do you know a school is going to be built here?"

"I know." Because Shou Ah Hua's eyes seemed particularly large, blinking in a simple and sincere manner, "Nine years ago, when I was in preschool, a group of people came to see it and said that the school was a dangerous building and could no longer teach students.

They said they were going to donate money to build a primary school, a middle school, and a high school here, so that children like me from poor families could not only go to school for free but also have free lunch.”

Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia opened the photos on their phones and compared them with the scene in front of them. There was no change except that it was more dilapidated. There was not even a single weed.

"What happened next?" Xiao Qiu asked.

"Later..." Ah Hua hesitated for a moment, "Then you came."

Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia looked at each other in surprise for a moment. Xiaoqiu swallowed subconsciously and asked, "So what you mean is that the school was demolished but not rebuilt, right?"

"It wasn't demolished," Ah Hua said, "They said it was not suitable for teaching, and repairing it was not an option, so it had to be rebuilt. The principal was afraid that students would get hurt, so he closed the school and waited for you to come and build it."

"Has anyone come here in these nine years?"

"No," Ah Hua was sure.

Xiao Qiu was a little curious, "How can you be so sure?"

“Because I come here every day.”

"No one teaches here. What are you doing here?"

"Wait for you to come over!"

Xiao Qiu choked, "This place is so remote, there are no residents yet, aren't you afraid as a little girl here?"

“At first I wasn’t afraid, because there were many people who wanted to study like me who would come, but as time went on, they stopped coming.

The boys were sent to the county town by their parents to study, and some girls, like me, stayed at home to do farm work, some followed their parents to work outside, and some were married and had children. "

The two were shocked, "You guys get married at such a young age?"

"Yes!" Ah Hua nodded, "My parents are also going to find a husband for me, and I'm afraid because my sister was beaten every day after she got married, and I don't want to be beaten.

I want to study, read lots and lots of books, go to college and graduate school, and live in a big city.

I want to change my destiny.

So I didn’t eat to slow down my growth, and the matchmakers saw that I looked like a child and lost interest in me.”

The little girl smiled slyly as she said this, as if to say, "Look! Am I smart?"

No wonder the little girl looked so skinny and skinny. The two guys felt sad. Xiao Xia concluded by asking, "Can I understand it this way?

Nine years ago, this was a primary school and a junior high school. You were studying here well. But one day, a group of people came and said that this was a dangerous building and teaching was no longer allowed here.

He also said that he would donate money to build a new school, and that it would be free for students from poor families.

But despite the promise, no one came to build it.

Then those who had the ability to study in the county town went to the county town, and those who did not have the ability gave up. You were the only one who insisted on waiting for people to come and build a school.

Is that what you mean? "

Ah Hua thought about it and nodded: "Yes."

Xiao Qiu was a little amused. "It's been nine years. If it hasn't been built yet, it means it won't be built. What's the point of you waiting foolishly?"

"It's useful." Ah Hua smiled brightly, "Aren't you guys here today?"

"..." Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia looked at each other, not wanting to pour cold water on them any more. "Then why don't you go to another school while you wait?"

When talking about this, Ah Xiao lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong. "My parents heard that I could study here for free and get food subsidies, so they were unwilling to spend money to send me to another school. They said they would rather wait than waste money."

“…”

Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia didn't know what to say. Who would be willing to spend money when there's something free?

Besides, people here are reluctant to let girls go to school.

"Do you still want to inspect?" Ah Hua said, "I'll show you around. Although this place looks shabby, it's very clean. I clean it every day. There won't be any bugs or snakes. You can rest assured."

"So..." Xiao Qiu frowned, "There's not even a weed here. Is it because you clean it every day?"

"Yes!" Ah Hua nodded: "You are from the city, I'm afraid you will find it dirty when you come here..."

Xiaoqiu took over what Ah Hua didn't dare to say, "Are you worried that we won't build a school here?"

When Ah Hua was mentioned, she just laughed and said nothing more.

Nothing to see, just a pile of ruins.

The two sent the before-and-after photos from the foundation’s website and the photos in front of them to the group.

Xiaoqiu: There is a project in the foundation’s account to donate to the Shanwa Village Hope School, but it doesn’t look like that on site.

Xiao Xia: As for Lao Alopecia Areata, the project was established, the school was demolished, and the money in the account was taken, but nothing was done and the money went into Lao Alopecia Areata’s own pocket.

Ah Hua had never seen a smart phone before, so she came forward to take a look out of curiosity. When she saw the photo, she jumped up excitedly.

"That's it. They said the school would look like this after it was built, with a flagpole in the front for raising the national flag and a teaching building in the back.

There are dormitories and a canteen at the back.

On the left is the playground, with footballs, basketballs and other things…” Ah Hua recalled for a long time but couldn’t remember anything. She said a little frustratedly: “I forgot what else, but the new school is very beautiful and good.”

Xiaoqiu immediately understood what was going on.
