After breakfast, we were ready to leave for the Guanyin Temple. Last year, Xinya didn’t come back, but Xinya made a wish for her, so this year she has to fulfill her wish.
Early in the morning, their mother helped them organize things to fulfill their wishes and make wishes. Her mother told Xin Miao and Xinyang to make wishes about their studies. When they saw Xin Ya, they wanted to ask her to make a wish for marriage, but after seeing Ye Cong After a quick glance, he still didn't say anything.
Sprout: “…”
Why don't you speak
Ye Cong was secretly proud. This mother-in-law must have won 90%.
The Guanyin Temple is at the head of the village. It is probably the most luxurious place in the whole new village. Everyone usually comes to worship if they have nothing to do. Only on New Year's Eve is the time for people in the village who are not married to come to worship together.
The so-called luxury is to build a brick house for the Guanyin statue, which is about one person tall.
Ye Cong looked back at the village full of mud houses. This brick house was indeed a luxury room.
This shows how much they trust the gods and Buddhas.
Most of the people who came were children, wearing coarse floral cotton-padded jackets, with happy smiles on their little faces that were red from the cold.
Because they can eat delicious food on New Year’s Eve night.
Ye Cong himself stood over there and saw that the brightness was even more obvious than that of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Xinya took a lot of candies brought from City B and gave them to them, while Ye Cong watched from the side.
"Xinyang, are your eldest sister giving out wedding candies?" A little boy about the same age as Xinyang said with a smile.
Sprout: “…”
What wedding candy
Xinyang placed one hand on his friend's shoulder, "Take what you have to eat. This candy is valuable, and there are a lot of good things in big cities. You study hard, and you will know when you go to university there. .”
The boy took off the candy wrapper, stuffed it directly into his mouth, chewed it twice and said, "It's delicious. Don't worry, I will study hard and find you when the time comes."
They were about the same age as Xinyang, and there were a few younger ones. They were very happy to get the candies and kept chattering around Xinya and Ye Cong.
Ye Cong basically couldn't understand it, but he could probably understand it.
Xin Ya knelt down and gave them some candies, "You study hard. It's a bit harder now, but when you go out, you will know that there are many new things out there."
"But none of us have teachers. Before we went on vacation, the principal said that the sister who was our substitute teacher would not come after the Chinese New Year." The little girl said aggrievedly.
Xin Ya paused, feeling very uncomfortable. She had experienced this situation when she was a child. In their mountainous area, even if a volunteer teacher came, they would basically stay for half a year, and it would be unbearable for a year at most. There was no way to access the Internet, and there was no There is no way to contact the outside world, let alone takeout. Even if you buy something on Taobao, you have to wait for nearly more than a month to get it.
The young people who are teaching now have all lived in the city. Even those who passed the exam in the countryside have lived a convenient life for several years. How can they endure it here.
"Go over there and ask Lady Guanyin to make a wish." Xin Ya distributed all the candies, and then asked several children to go over and make wishes. After getting up, he looked back at Ye Cong, "This is the current situation here. In many cases, it's not the children who don't want to To go to school, they are not afraid of walking seven or eight hours a day, nor are they afraid of dangerous mountain roads, but no teachers are willing to come here.”
This is the current situation here. I wonder if Ye Cong can say anything about the outstanding people here after hearing this.
