June is already halfway through, and it’s time for all students to have their summer vacation.
Chen Pingsheng went to the University of Finance and Economics, where he also had a young assistant teacher, Jiang Yilan.
For some well-known reasons, he decided to take Erpi Ya and Dapi Wa to the mountains for more than a month this year.
The main purpose is to improve Erpiya's little princess habits since childhood, and by the way, let Dapiwa better understand the children in the mountains.
Jiang Yilan was born in a mountainous area, and her ideal after graduation was to help her hometown become rich together.
Chen Pingsheng had investigated her hometown and found that it was really remote.
There are not even common roads, and children have to walk or ride a bicycle for five or six kilometers to read.
With such traffic conditions, you can imagine how poor they are there.
If we want to promote the development of mountainous areas, the first thing we need to do is to build roads.
This is simply impossible without a small goal of several hundred million.
Not to mention the past, this year Chen Pingsheng directly used his private plane to take Erpi Ya and Chen Anan to stay there for a month.
This is also the small condition for Eryatou's account not to be blocked. There are three children in the family, and the third child, Chen Lu, is not even one year old.
Big Fart can adapt to anything, but Little Fart is different.
She only likes the life of luxury. It is very difficult for her to be frugal after getting used to luxury.
This year is clearly a test for her.
Erpi Ya started filming short videos on the plane, and started doing a short live broadcast after getting off the plane.
We were busy and having fun along the way.
When she arrived at Jiang Yilan's hometown, she pouted and almost ran away.
What place is this?
There are nothing but mountains, and the rest are just a few scattered huts.
Their house is pretty good, at least it's a small flat roof of 150 square meters.
The transportation environment in Jiang Yilan’s hometown is indeed a bit poor, but the scenery is still exceptionally beautiful.
There are big mountains in front and a small lake behind, and the farming fun of childhood is everywhere.
After Erpi Ya took a look inside with his short legs, his big eyes were already brewing little pearls.
She wants to go home!
I don't want to live in a rural area like this.
Chen Pingsheng brought her here specifically for transformation, so how could he let her go back so easily?
"If you stay for thirty days, Dad will not block your account. You can go play wherever you want for the remaining thirty days."
Erpiya was aggrieved, "Dad, there's not even a toilet. When I poop, there are mosquitoes biting my butt. I want to go home."
The little girl has a lot of princess syndromes, the most obvious of which is that she is not used to ordinary environments.
But now this house is obviously ordinary in every way.
"You can go home, I'll have your Congming account blocked right away."
Erpi Ya hummed and hawed, as if making a choice.
It’s better for her sister to adapt. After coming here and looking around, she also felt that it was nothing special.
It's just a month, it will be over soon.
Chen Anan asked, "Dad, we're not going to stay here for just a month, are we?"
"Of course not!"
Chen Pingsheng had already made arrangements. He took out a small map and said, "Look, I bought this fish pond in advance. I raise a lot of crayfish and some edible fish in it.
"Our family's improved food for this month mainly comes from this fish pond. We also have an acre of land where Dad will take you to plant rice. We also have two old hens and a puppy at home. This is all we have."
When he heard that there was a small fish pond, Erpi'ya's eyes lit up, and he even went there to farm it himself.
She instantly lost her spirits again.
No matter what, she will definitely not be able to escape these thirty days.
First day of life in the mountains.
Erpi Ya carried a small shrimp fishing rod and prepared to go to his own small fish pond to catch some French blue lobsters to improve his life.
Anyway, this fish pond was built by her father in advance, and he couldn't be unaware that she likes to eat French blue lobster the most.
Chen Anan also went fishing with her, and she whistled like a little female hooligan.
This kind of rural wildness seems quite interesting to her.
The fish pond is just behind the house, not too big nor too far away.
The two little ones started fishing quickly. With their small arms and legs, they could only catch some small shrimps and nothing else.
But she was too inexperienced. After she caught the crayfish, she excitedly grabbed it with her chubby little hands.
The red crayfish looked at her with ill intent and clamped down with its two front claws.
Erpi Ya cried loudly.
He kept jumping around.
"Sister, please save me! Sister, please save me!"
The second girl, who had no experience at all, was so moved by the shrimp that she cried half a pound of tears.
When she fished again later, she simply asked the little fat boy next to her to help her.
This little fat boy is from their next-door neighbor. Two children came from the village, so he came here right away.
Children, it’s easy for them to play together.
As a kid born and raised in the mountains, he particularly likes fishing and has mastered various skills.
Erpi Ya went fishing with him and was never bitten by shrimp again.
Second day of mountain life.
Erpi Ya brought a small hoe and followed her sister to chop firewood every day.
The main thing was that Chen Anan was chopping in the front, and she was sticking her fat chicken butt out in the back, preparing to dig out the imperial seal.
The little girl, no matter how old she is, likes to fantasize about everything she does.
If she could dig out the imperial seal, the first thing she would do would be to buy all of her father's companies.
From now on, she will be the eldest in the family and her sister will be the youngest.
Let her bathe herself every day.
She was being baked by the scorching sun. If she hadn't been convinced that she could dig out the imperial seal, she wouldn't have dug here for two hours.
Chen Anan came down the mountain carrying a bundle of firewood, while Erpi Ya was covered in dust and dirt and hadn't dug up a single hair.
Don't even mention how unhappy I am.
After returning home, Chen Pingsheng asked her to catch eggs. The two old hens had laid eggs, and they were going to have seaweed egg soup tonight.
Erpi Ya was just trying to catch eggs and didn't pay any attention to the old hen.
Can any other chicken be as powerful as her?
Don't joke.
As a result, after a while, she was chased everywhere by two "clucking" old hens.
Erpiya is really not good at anything.
The first one to run away with his butt sticking up.
If she digs a mountain, she can even imagine digging out the imperial seal.
She can catch an egg and kick the old hen that is protecting her chicks without any care.
This chaotic rural life is enough for her to bear.
I cry at least three or four times a day.
After finally getting some peace and quiet, I took a shower and was bitten by mosquitoes again, and had to run around naked.
Chen Pingsheng was lying in the front yard of his home, covering his old face with a palm-leaf fan.
It's really unbelievable that Erpiya was chased by mosquitoes and had to run around naked.
It seems that rural life is still necessary this time.
The little girl's life experience is absolutely zero.
I have been taken care of by others since I was a child. Now I suddenly come to the countryside and there is no one to take care of me. I start to feel uncomfortable everywhere.
This habit is not good at all.
…
The morning light is just breaking, and the roosters are crowing and the dogs are barking.
A ray of sunlight passed through the top of the mountain and refracted onto the small flat roof at the foot of the mountain.
Chen Pingsheng got up early and practiced a set of Tai Chi.
People must take care of their health when they reach middle age, otherwise their bodies will be prone to problems.
Big-breasted kid Chen Anan also got up. Life in the mountains has no big shopping malls and no luxury cars or villas.
All there is is that little bit of time that passes quietly.
"Dad, the second girl is holding her head and not getting ready!"
"That's easy. Go turn off the air conditioner in her room and see if she can get up."
"That's right."
Chen Anan turned around and went to turn off Erpiya's air conditioner. The little girl had learned her lesson and actually wanted to lock herself in the room.
Once the air conditioner is turned off, she can't even stay in this summer heat for an hour.
Sure enough, the second girl came out with a pout and a messy hair, looking very unhappy.
Chen Pingsheng steamed three sweet corns at home and made some white rice porridge.
There is no abalone for brushing teeth and no bird's nest for rinsing mouth.
Life at home is ordinary and low-key.
"Dad, I want to protest."
"What are you protesting?"
Erpiya whined and said, "Why are there no mosquitoes in my sister's room, but there are a lot of them in my room?"
"Because she lit the mosquito coil, but you didn't!" Chen Pingsheng said calmly.
Erpiya was furious when he heard this, "How can it be like this? Why didn't you tell me earlier, Dad?"
"These are basic common sense. Who can you blame if you don't know them?"
"I..." Erpi Ya has only been here for three days, and judging from her appearance, she doesn't even look like a little princess.
Even the little beggars are comparable to her.
After finishing her breakfast, she immediately went to the room to light a big mosquito coil and left the door open.
The little hand guided the mosquito to run to her sister's room. Her sister is fleshy, go and bite her!
Erpiya has done quite a few outrageous things.
Today they were neither fishing nor chopping wood. Instead, Chen Pingsheng took them to the fields to plant rice seedlings.
This was almost a necessary skill in rural areas in their time, and children as young as ten years old could do it.
Erpiya is not afraid of dirt, but she is very afraid of the little things in the fields.
Chen Pingsheng still prepared a set of one-piece boots for her, the kind that basically won't get wet.
The father, his two daughters, were wearing straw hats and bending over to plant rice seedlings.
"When I hoe the field at noon, my sweat drips to the soil. Who knows that every grain of rice on the table is the result of hard work?"
"Dad, I can recite this too."
The second girl stood up proudly and said, "If you plant a grain of millet in spring, it will produce ten thousand seeds in autumn. Even if there is no idle land in the world, farmers will still starve to death."
"Not bad. You can recite it, but do you understand what it means?"
Erpi Ya tilted his head and thought about it, obviously not quite understanding.
She can only recite it, but she can't understand it.
Chen Pingsheng told her that the general meaning was that farmers work hard in the fields and should cherish food.
At noon, the young assistant teacher Jiang Yilan brought them a pot of tea.
Because of dietary health issues, Chen Pingsheng does not allow his children to drink cold drinks.
The two little ones have only been able to drink tea since they were young.
Jiang Yilan also wanted to help them farm, but Chen Pingsheng refused with a smile.
It doesn’t matter to him how much land is planted. What matters is that Big Fart and Little Fart remember the process.
"Professor Chen, my grandma wants to invite you to have lunch at my house."
"That's not necessary. Your grandma is already busy enough, how can she cook for us? You can just go to my house for lunch."
Jiang Yilan thought about it and agreed quickly.
This little girl is quite thoughtful.
After she left, the little fat boy who had been playing with Erpi Ya for the past two days came again.
He is quite lonely. His parents are not at home and he is taken care of by his grandparents.
Like most people in this village, my parents went to Shenzhen to work.
The only ones left here are some older ones and young ones like him.
There are now more and more left-behind children.
The second girl just came here to experience life, but the little fat boy has to grow up in this environment until he is fifteen or sixteen years old.
Then he would follow in his parents' footsteps, or go to Shenzhen to work in a factory.
Or go to another city and live a life of mediocrity and hardship.
This may be the current situation of most left-behind children in rural areas.
There is not much happiness and I can’t find the direction of life.
To them, living really means living.
Unlike Chen Pingsheng, he has clear stage-by-stage training goals for his children.
Children under five years old are allowed to play.
When you are between five and ten years old, you should start learning and understanding the various aspects of life.
When they are between ten and fifteen years old, we will let them do what they like.
When I reached high school, I was preparing for the college entrance exam like all other ordinary students.
Understand the meaning of life and your ultimate goal.
When you go to college, you inherit certain projects or funds from your family.
The successor training program has been fully launched.
This is the life path he planned for Big Fart and Little Fart.
Clear and concise.
It’s different for chubby kids. Their parents are working class and they can’t be considered foresighted.
It is absolutely impossible to ensure an easy future for your children.
Most left-behind children are influenced by their friends or relatives when they grow up.
Wherever you go, that’s where you go.
Some of them started committing crimes before they were even 18 years old, and some of them went to the alleys and became street prostitutes.
Parents play a large role in a child's growth.
The helplessness of life is that if you want to give your children a good life, you have to leave your hometown.
This is the sadness of many parents and the helplessness of many young parents.
Erpi Ya didn't understand any of this at all. She only knew that the little fat boy was unfashionable, except for the things in the countryside that she was particularly familiar with.
There is no impression of the city at all.
Perhaps in his eyes this small mountain village is the whole world.
He would never understand that there are still foreign concessions and flowers blooming like a dream in the city.
Erpi Ya tried to learn to play marbles with him, but she didn't know what was so fun about it.
The little fat boy was having a lot of fun.
Later, I taught her how to fish for shrimps and catch loaches in the fields.
These are things that the little fat boy is good at, but they are things that Erpi Ya can't do at all.
She just wanted to take a look out of curiosity.
The things she plays with start with a smart account with tens of millions of followers.
Any short video you post will get tens of thousands of comments.
The red pandas she bought were all made of pure high-quality wool, and each cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.
Not to mention her birthday presents every year.
All I can say is that the gap has been completely widened since the moment of birth and is out of reach.
As long as she leaves this place, she may never be friends with someone like the fat boy in her life.
The novel rural experience allowed them to have fun together.
They also quarreled because of their different living habits.
Erpi Ya thinks that marbles and other games are played by ignorant children.
The little fat boy thought this was the most fun.
There is simply nothing else that compares.
Chen Pingsheng ignored them and let them laugh and quarrel non-stop.
