Chapter 1728 Something is wrong
The countryside, especially the ones deep in the mountains, is still so poor that it is hard to imagine for many children who grew up in cities.
At least, Treasure has gained a new understanding these days.
Shen Xi discovered that her daughter, who had inherited some of her father's mysophobia, would also play with the dirty children in the village and did not dislike them at all.
They would also share with them the clothes and food they brought.
She also asked Zheng Shou for potion and taught her friends how to remove lice from their heads. She also taught them the recipe. She used common herbs in the mountains and taught them several kinds of herbs.
The children are very grateful and will share their own food with the treasure.
Sometimes it was a handful of freshly harvested peanuts, sometimes it was melons from the field. They knew that Caibao loved cleanliness, so they washed them clean and gave them to her. Caibao ate the delicious food, and smiles would appear on the innocent faces of the children.
It seemed as if the treasure was not just food, but represented the friendship between them.
In just over ten days, Caibao made many good friends. She also asked her father to leave her addresses so that she could send them delicious food in the future.
She also told them to study hard and come to Hecheng to play with her in the future.
All the children were excited by her encouragement and were determined to work hard. What that guy shouted was like a pyramid scheme organization doing morning exercises. Shen Xi really felt that his daughter was very good at fooling anyone and she was very capable at such a young age.
Visiting one village after another, I have seen how miserable poverty can make people's lives, and I have also seen many people working hard to improve themselves in poverty. Indeed, our motherland is too big, and we still need to work hard to achieve common prosperity.
There are far more villages in need of revitalization than the ones they planned to visit.
That day, they came to the depths of the mountains again. When they took aerial photos with a drone, they saw that the mountains were continuous and there really was a feeling that there were tens of thousands of mountains and there was no way out.
After finishing this trip to the village, Shen Xi had to return to Hecheng early.
School is about to start, and Chen Chuan and his team have temporarily added a few more villages, so she has to leave first.
Caibao is reluctant to leave his mother and has been especially clinging to her these days.
As soon as he got off the car, Shen Xi keenly felt that this village seemed different from the villages he had visited before.
Even though the village chief and the villagers who came to greet him had bright smiles and warm attitudes, and looked no different from the simple folks in the previous village, Shen Xi still instinctively felt that something was wrong.
When they looked at her, especially when they looked at her and Qiao Yu, their eyes were like cold snakes, although they disappeared in a flash, like an illusion.
She exchanged a glance with Chen Chuan, then became fully alert and hugged the treasure tightly.
As usual, they still live in the village committee.
This village is very poor and there is no village committee. All village affairs are conducted in the village chief's compound.
So this time they stayed at the village chief's house.
The village chief has five sons. I heard that only the eldest son and the second son are married, but there is no sign of their daughters-in-law.
The meal that night was prepared by the village chief’s wife, Wang Sigu.
She was very thin, with her head down and she was very quiet. Apart from serving the dishes, she didn't even glance at them.
I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it.
There were six vehicles in their group, five commercial vehicles and a small pickup truck loaded with their food.
There were nearly thirty people, and the village chief's house was not big enough to accommodate them, so they gave up their own rooms and went to stay with relatives.
At night, when Shen Xi was sleeping, he looked at his treasure. The child was carefree, sleeping soundly with his chubby hands and feet spread out. He whispered to Chen Chuan, "Do you feel..."
Chen Chuan squeezed her palm and said, "I feel."
"What's wrong with that?"
"Can't tell."
The implication is that you should be more careful.
Shen Xi understood.
Of course, they are not naive enough to think that all villages and villagers are kind and simple. Sometimes, there is truth in the saying that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people.
With this caution, Shen Xi kept a close eye on the treasures. There was always someone by her side who would never let her be alone.
They planned to stay in this village for two days.
Just by looking at the architectural style of the village, you can tell that it is very poor.
The best house in the village was the village chief's. But it wasn't a brick house, it was half mud brick, half red brick, and the roof was full of leaks.
Fortunately, it didn't rain, otherwise it would have been heavy rain outside and light rain inside.
The next day, the chef brought by Xi Chen took over the kitchen. They brought their own food, and soon, a delicious breakfast was ready.
I have to say that Xi Chen tries his best not to treat himself badly wherever he goes.
After dinner, the village leaders took them on a tour of the village, where Shen Xi, Zheng Shou, Huang Haohui and Cheng Xuri came to see the treasures.
It can be said that the division of labor is clear.
The village was full of naked children running around, all boys, no girls were seen.
They were covered in dirt, had runny noses, black faces and messy hair, but their eyes lit up when they saw the treasure.
To be honest, it's not that Shen Xi is narcissistic. Her family's treasure is here, just like a white swan among gray ducks, fair and beautiful, and it doesn't fit in anywhere.
Caibao actually doesn’t mind that the children she plays with are not well dressed or have no clothes to wear.
Even this time when Shen Xi and the others came, they brought all the clothes that had grown too small for Caibao and had never been worn. They filled seven or eight large woven bags.
In the previous village, Caibao gave a lot of gifts to his new friends.
Of course, many of the new clothes were bought by Wen Jing, Deng Wenjun, Ma Shile and others, or sponsored by others. After all, there are children of all ages in the village, and Caibao’s clothes alone are not enough.
So Caibao never complained that the children were not dressed appropriately or were naked and barefoot. After walking around for so many days, she had come to understand that not all children were born with endless new clothes and toys, and could eat whatever they wanted.
Many children do not have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear, and do not know what toys are.
It turns out she is such a happy child. Her parents are so good to her.
As long as the children are nice to her, Caibao is happy to play with them, but these children today are really... too dirty.
And the way they looked at Treasure was as if they could eat her.
The child instinctively disliked it. The person who used to gather in a group as soon as he landed on the ground, today hugged his mother's neck and refused to walk by himself.
Shen Xi never forces her child, nor does she insist on her being sociable or sharing.
If the child doesn’t want to come down to play, then don’t let him play.
She held the treasure and slowly toured the village.
It's really dilapidated. It's really rare to see this level of poverty nowadays.
Nothing seems right.
