Chapter 195 (1/2)
Liu Nian's hometown is located in a small county called Xilan in the northwest of Guangxi. Xilan county still wore the hat of a national poverty-stricken county in 2016. In 2001, the appearance of the county was so fragmentary and barren that even Li Mu couldn't believe it.
The county seat is located in a long and narrow plain surrounded by mountains. There is only a shabby and dangerous pan mountain road to get in and out of the mountain. The population of the county seat is only 300000. The population of the county seat is less than 100000. The highest building is a seven story shabby commercial building. In addition, none of the residential buildings in the county seat is more than six stories, each with red bricks The stacked water tower has become the most outstanding building in the county.
There used to be an Anyuan hotel in the seven story commercial building of the county, with an Anyuan Hotel attached. It is the only and best hotel in the county. But Li Mu inquired about it and found out that Anyuan hotel was closed for lack of tourists for a long time. Only Anyuan hotel was left, occasionally catering for young people in the county. The original rooms of the hotel were all It has been demolished. It is said that the boss is going to repair it and set up an indoor gym.
Li Mu is very skeptical about what he should do to support a gymnasium in a county where there is no migrant population or even hotel demand. But it is not a matter for him to worry about. What he should worry about most is how to accommodate the people on the 10th and 20th.
After several inquiries, Li Mucai finally found a state-owned hostel near the passenger station. There are only two standard rooms for two people in the whole Hostel, and the rest are all four.
Li Mu went in to have a look. The conditions were very poor. The room smelled of mildew. The roof of the room was covered with large damp spots, and the bedding was not very clean. But it was obviously the only choice at present.
No way, Li Mu packed all the rest of the rooms, and then began to allocate with everyone. Six people in 606 bedroom lived in two four rooms with two male photographers. Dong AI and the girl she brought and Zhao Ziqiu lived in one four rooms. Chen Lei and a female reporter lived in a double standard room. The other double standard room was also given to two female journalists. Who let them come this time Four of the five media are women journalists.
The rest of the male photographers and journalists have no choice but to live in a room of four people with poor conditions. The only thing to be gratified by is that they only need to stay here for one night. Tomorrow morning, they will go to school to make donations, and then they will go straight back to the provincial capital and rush to the airport to fly back to Yanjing.
After everyone settled down, Li Mu asked Sun Jian to accompany the reporters, asked Dong AI to take good care of Zhao Ziqiu and get in touch with the local media to see when they would come. In addition, he asked Zhao Ziqiu not to give Dong ai any trouble and try to help if he could.
Zhao Ziqiu looks at Li Mu with a face of grievance, and when so many people don't think it's easy to talk, they have to protest silently. She didn't want to stay in the shabby Hostel, but wanted to experience something with Li Mu. She didn't want Li Mu to leave her alone.
Li Mu also saw Zhao Ziqiu's grievance with a little entreaty, but waved his hand and said: ”then you go to school with me, and stay here with AI Xuejie and take care of you.”
”Good.” Zhao Ziqiu 's big eyes lit up in an instant, and the unhappiness between his eyebrows swept away.
It's all arranged. Li Mu and Zhao Ziqiu, Liu Nian and Hu Zhengdao are going to Liu Nian's alma mater first. First, they should contact the school leaders, check the poverty by the way, and then count the number of people in total.
Liu Nian had contacted the principal before, and the principal had been ready to wait anxiously in the school. Li Mu didn't let the reporter follow him. After all, there was nothing to interview today, mainly the scene donated tomorrow.
Walking on the muddy street, Liu Niang was embarrassed to introduce Li Mu and Hu Zhengdao: ”we have a lot of rain here, and the road in the county is not very good. When it rains, there is a lot of mud.”
As Li Mu walked carefully with Zhao Ziqiu, he asked Liu Nian, ”how many high schools are there in your county?”
”Three.” Liu Nian said, ”there are three general high schools and one vocational high school. My middle school is the largest middle school in Xilan county. There are both Xilan middle school and junior high school.”
Hu Zhengdao said: ”sixth, to tell you the truth, don't be unhappy. Your place is even worse than our county town. Although it's not a good place, there are at least a few tall buildings, and the road is better than yours. In addition, there is less rain in the northwest. Although there is much dust on the road, it's not so muddy. Look at the mud idea of my pants.”
Liu Nian scratched his head and smiled: ”if you go to my house, it will be even worse. In rainy days, motorcycles can't get in. You have to rely on four engines or animals to pull the car.”
Hu Zhengdao's expression was stunned, he sighed softly and didn't speak. Although he was born in a poor area, he couldn't help sighing. This place is really Too poor.
