Chapter 0739 – Fortunate Signs
“White Lion, come here.”
Zhuang Rui sat in front of a villager’s door, drinking barley tea, saw a group of seven or eight children, surrounding the white lion, hastily greeted, with the white lion’s size, even if it rushes a bit, it is not something that those children can withstand.
“Oooh ……”
White lion rushed to follow it behind those Tibetan mastiffs low roar, a few Tibetan mastiffs did not dare to follow up, but those small children are not afraid, they were born, and Zhuang Rui all day to play.
Tibetan mastiff for Tibetans, is the best friend and the most loyal partner, is a milk eating child, will not be afraid of Tibetan mastiff.
“Don’t you guys go to school?”
Being surrounded by a group of children in the middle of Zhuang Rui, some curiosity, he looked at these children small seven or eight years old, the big ones already have twelve or thirteen years old, one by one, wearing dirty Tibetan robes, hair messy like a small savage.
These children should not be able to speak Mandarin, after hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, they just tilted their heads and looked at Zhuang Rui, a child in the lead gabbled, but Zhuang Rui could not understand a word.
“They don’t have money to go to school.”
After arranging for the doctors to finish assembling the testing instruments, Laba Tsering walked over to Zhuang Rui’s side, pointing at the terraces around him, and said, “There is only such a little bit of land in the village here, and the harvest every year is only enough for them to live and change some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, so where is the money to let the children go to school ah!”
Laba Tsering is not the first time to this small mountain village, for the village is very familiar, this in the foot of the snowy mountains of the mountain village, not even electric light, seven or eight years old children, have to go to graze.
“Doesn’t the country have nine-year compulsory education?” Zhuang Rui asked in puzzlement, he remembered that he had heard before that a lot of fees were reduced for schooling here in Tibet.
“These children have to help adults at the age of six or seven to work and go to graze the cows and sheep, besides even if they don’t have to pay for school, they still need money to eat outside!”
Raba Tsering shook his head and sighed, a small mountain village like this is not the only one, many children who live at the foot of the mountain, are unable to go to school, just a hundred or ten dollars per semester for room and board, these villagers can’t afford to pay out.
“Dean Lhagpa Tsering, you ask them, are they willing to go to school?”
Looking at these red-faced Tibetan children, a string in Zhuang Rui’s heart was plucked.
Zhuang Rui lost his father at an early age, which originally felt like a very tragic thing, but he had at least received a good education, not like these children, who had just realized that they had to do what adults do.
Seven or eight years old? At that time, I am afraid that Zhuang Rui only knew how to be naughty and block other people’s chimneys, how do you know the hardships of life ah?
Raba Tsering heard Zhuang Rui’s words, asked the children in Tibetan, Zhuang Rui saw, these children’s eyes, suddenly bright, surrounded Raba Tsering yelled up, face full of excitement.
One of the children, while talking, also took a wooden stick and wrote and drew on the ground for a while, and then proudly raised his head, pointed to the Tibetan text on the ground, and loudly said something to Lhagpa Tsering.
“He said that this is his name.”
Lhagpa Tsering also felt some emotion in his heart, looking at Zhuang Rui, he said, “Children want to go to school, but know that their families are very poor, and this child’s grandmother’s family is from outside the mountains, so he will write his own name. In this village, almost everyone can’t read or write, they respect educated people and want their children to be educated, but they really can’t afford to pay for school.”
“Big brother Suo Nan, come here for a moment.”
Zhuang Rui heard Laba Tsering’s words and looked up to greet Suo Nan, he wanted to help these children go to school, but it was a bit inappropriate to let Laba Tsering, who was a doctor, talk about this kind of thing.
“Big brother Suo Nan, you help me count how many children in the village are old enough to go to school, I want to subsidize all their expenses from elementary school to university.”
“Primary school to university? Xiao Zhuang, this expense is quite a lot!”
Suo Nan froze for a moment at his words, he didn’t think that Zhuang Rui, the impostor of the foundation, was really going to do charity.
Although there are various policies in Tibet, the cost of schooling is very low, but from elementary school to university, without a 20,000 to 30,000 dollars, it can’t be done, there are at least a dozen out-of-school children in this village, counting down to several hundred thousand it!
Suo man does not know Zhuang Rui’s wealth, anyway, for himself, hundreds of thousands is already an astronomical figure.
Zhuang Rui waved his hand and said, “Don’t mention the money first, big brother Suo Nan, you go and count them first, then give me the list, and when we get out of the mountain, then we will look for the local education department to make arrangements.”
Subsidizing these children to go to school was not a burden at all for Zhuang Rui financially, but he was afraid that some departments and parents would do superficial work and take the money and go use it elsewhere, so he wanted to talk about this directly with Lunzhu County Governor when he went out.
“Alright! I’ll go do it now, right, those few kids who are going to do the checkup are coming out soon, you and Balsang pay attention to it.”
Suo Nan looked deeply at Zhuang Rui and turned around to find the village chief, in such a closed small mountain village, the village chief is definitely a figure of one word, as long as he agrees to let the waifs go to school, then there won’t be any problem.
“Jushi Zhuang, how can we tell that this child is the reincarnation of the teacher?”
After Suo Nan left, Balsang scratched his head and asked Zhuang Rui, although he was the most important constituent of the search for the living Buddha’s reincarnation, Balsang himself was still a big kid and didn’t know much about this kind of thing.
“This ……”
Zhuang Rui also scratched his head a bit, and after thinking for a while, he said, “Let’s do it this way! Back when they are testing, let’s take out the things that the Living Buddha used to use and go tease them to see how these kids react.”
Zhuang Rui was helpless in this matter, he couldn’t expect those milk-fed children to pounce on them when they saw them, could he?
Balsang nodded, followed behind Zhuang Rui, and walked towards the already prepared hospital working group, those few herdsmen with children, after seeing Balsang, they all bowed respectfully.
In this part of Tibet, it is the chairman of the autonomous region and a lama together, it is guaranteed that these Tibetans will salute the lama first.
Although Balsang looked very young, he still managed to gain the respect of the Tibetans, if not for the child in his hands, I’m afraid they would all have to kneel.
The first to be tested were the two and three year old children. Although highland congenital heart disease is most common in those who have migrated to the plateau, there is a high chance that the aboriginal people will also suffer from this disease.
According to the words of President Lhagpa Tsering, their current equipment is not very advanced, for some heart rate detection is not very in place, and can only do some relatively ordinary checks.
But even so, for the Tibetans who lived in the mountains all year round, it was something that could be encountered but not sought, almost every household had brought their children out, and in the small village’s sunbathing field, the sound of laughter was everywhere.
“Brother Zhuang, this big white dog is yours, right?”
The mountaineering members of Hua Qing University, except for the two girls who were not there, the rest of the few people had gathered around to see what was going on, the student named Zhao Jun who first greeted Zhuang Rui was currently looking at the white lion with an envious look on his face.
“That’s a Tibetan mastiff, do you understand? Go, step aside, Brother Zhuang, can you let us take a picture with it?”
The mountaineering captain was also unable to hold his breath, and after using his authority to drive Zhao Jun to one side, he looked blearily at Zhuang Rui.
“I’m fine with it, you guys ask the white lion if it’s willing?”
Zhuang Rui laughed, the side of the white lion is very cooperative to raise his head, mouth issued a “wooo” low roar, scared the gang of students hastily backward, the size of the white lion that is not generally large, imagine a lion standing in front of the body, can there be a few people do not balk at it?
“Xiao Zhuang ……”
Seeing that immediately it is time for a few children under the age of one to be tested, Suo man, who was talking to the village chief, hurriedly shouted out Zhuang Rui.
“Gotta, give you guys a video to watch, don’t disturb my work ……”
Zhuang Rui handed the DV camera of the white lion predator to a few students and got himself to the center of the testing crowd.
“This little kid is so cute, come, uncle hug.”
Zhuang Rui took the wrist dzi bead in his hand and teased a seven or eight month old boy, perhaps it was because it was a different language than what he usually heard! That child actually wailed, a pair of small hands desperately dialing the dzi bead in front of him.
“Holy shit, this is okay?”
Just as Zhuang Rui retracted his hand, he suddenly felt a little hot in front of his chest, and looked down, that little doll had already turned his grief and anger into strength, and was using another way to raise his protest to Zhuang Rui.
“Don’t wipe, child urine is a very auspicious thing.”
Just as Zhuang Rui took out a paper towel and was ready to wipe down his clothes, he was stopped by Gyatso, and the people next to him were also watching and laughing, making Zhuang Rui a little resentful.
After the child test, Balsang went up to give him the blessing, and then the next child was carried over, this is the youngest baby.
Although he didn’t want to be the weird uncle again, Zhuang Rui still took the dzi bead necklace and came over, this behavior of his looked in the eyes of those villagers and doctors as a loving gesture, naturally no one stopped it.
“Hmm? It’s a bit odd.”
Although this child is very little, the wrinkles on his face just stretched, but a pair of small eyes, especially bright, the most surprising thing for Zhuang Rui is that this child’s ears, especially the earlobes, are very large, the earlobes alone, almost and the whole small ears, almost the same size.
According to the words of the ancients, hands over the knee, big ears hanging shoulder, this can be the blessing of the blessing of the phase ah!
