Teacher Xiao Zhong's adventures in the countryside

In the early morning of autumn in the countryside, the morning glow passes through the golden leaves and wisps of smoke, refracting magnificent colors, turning the whole world into a smoky fairy tale world.

Zhong Yiqiu was born in autumn, and he likes autumn more, but he has never seen such a dreamlike and picturesque autumn scenery, and was deeply fascinated.

When they knew that they were going to be assigned to the countryside, their mother and sister were downcast. In their view, the countryside was a place of poverty, backwardness, ignorance, and no development and future.

Now, Zhong Yiqiu feels that the countryside is very good, with sincere and simple friends, and such a peaceful and beautiful scenery.

Unfortunately, his good mood was short-lived.

After breakfast, he asked Uncle Yi to get the key. He was the first to go to the office and cleaned up briefly.

Principal Zheng and Uncle Yi arrived together, and they clapped their hands to greet everyone. We will have a short meeting before class.

Zhong Yiqiu was so nervous that the pen in his hand fell to the table with a bang, and he quickly pressed it down with his palm.

Wanting to secretly see if anyone noticed, he bumped into Xiao Mingye's eyes as soon as he raised his head. He smiled and blinked his right eye quickly and mischievously!

Zhong Yiqiu: "..."

His speed was so fast, and he immediately returned to his indifferent black face, Zhong Yiqiu wondered if she really saw him do this action just now.

Principal Zheng first picked up the kettle to make a cup of tea, and said casually, "It's still yesterday's incident. Principal Yuan will tell everyone about it today."

Uncle Yi turned his head and looked around, seeing that all the teachers had arrived, "Ms. Zhong arranged monthly exams and paid for the prizes for the students myself. I know about this. I don't care about your opinions. Hearing that," he said solemnly, "No matter what you say, I think this is a good thing, it motivates students and makes them willing to study hard."

Zhong Yiqiu sneaked a few glances. Everyone had different expressions on their faces, but they were not as emotional as yesterday.

Uncle Yi continued, "Teacher Zhong just came, and he is a student who just finished school. He doesn't know much about our situation here. What are you thinking? He may not understand, but I understand." Uncle Yi suddenly stopped, His eyes were a little sharp, he glanced at several teachers, and then said, "I discussed a solution with Principal Zheng, and I will tell you about it."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Guoyan, who was sitting at the door, immediately said, "It's definitely not good for me to spend money!"

He lost his hostility from yesterday, but his tone was still full of resentment.

Uncle Yi was quite kind to him, "You don't need to pay for it."

Zhong Yiqiu didn't know what Uncle Yi was going to do, so he looked at the other side in bewilderment.

Sensing his sight, Xiao Mingye nodded to him comfortingly.

Uncle Yi didn’t hold back, and said bluntly, “Since Teacher Zhong’s method is good for students, we should learn from it, but everyone has a family and a family, and they can support their families with this salary. The truth," Uncle Yi took a sip of water and saw that everyone was obviously relieved.

Uncle Yi went on to say: "The six acres of land in the back belong to the school. In addition to the one mu surrounded by the yard, there are five acres of land. Every year, the public grain and retention are paid, and seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides are removed. The harvest can be 600 yuan. Yuan. In the past, the brigade took care of my homeless and unemployed, and gave me this little land to plant. Today, I told Principal Zheng that half of the money collected from the field will be given to the school, which can be regarded as funds for encouraging students to do activities. "

After listening to the teachers, they all started to get excited. You talked about each other, and the voices were full of admiration and gratitude.

Only Zhong Yiqiu seemed to have been severely whipped on his body, the pain was accompanied by humiliation, which made him feel ashamed.

He thought of Uncle Yi struggling to carry the heavy corn on one foot, squatting in the midday sun hammering mung beans, his clothes were soaked in sweat, thinking of his sallow face and swollen legs, he felt sore and unbearable. .

His own idealism and naivety made him divide half of his meager income from a year of hard work. Zhong Yiqiu wanted to stand up and tell everyone that all the activities had been cancelled. He had done something wrong and brought trouble to everyone.

He cleared his blocked throat, and pushed back the chair. Amidst the noise and excitement, no one noticed his movement, but Uncle Yi grabbed his arm.

Holding Zhong Yiqiu down, he stood up by himself, and said loudly, "I will manage the money but I will disclose the whereabouts to everyone. How to use it? How to apply and arrange it? Teacher Zhong will take care of it."

The office fell silent for a moment.

Uncle Yi didn't care about each of them's emotions or thoughts, and he finished the last sentence seriously, "Education is a big deal, and children are the hope. All we can do is try our best."

When Zhong Yiqiu heard him say this, she felt awe in her heart, and when she looked at his dotted white hair, she felt shocked and hurt when she thought that he said just now that she was homeless and jobless.

Going to class in a daze, saying the last sentence and forgetting the next sentence, Zhong Yiqiu couldn't continue, so he could only let the students recite the multiplication formula by themselves.

Wanting to come out to take a breath, I walked out of the school gate before I knew it.

On the opposite playground, Xiao Mingye was stirring the sand and preparing to build a table tennis table. Seeing his distraught appearance, he called him over to help.

"Ms. Zhong, give me some money, I want to set up some parallel bars," Xiao Mingye said solemnly.

Zhong Yiqiu was already ashamed and annoyed because of this incident, but he was the first to tease himself and kicked him angrily.

Seeing his legs approaching, Xiao Mingye was amazed that he was able to lift so high, he grasped his calf quickly with his eyes and hands, and pushed up hard

Zhong Yiqiu was in pain—he took a few steps back and sat on the ground!

The dust that was raised flew all over him, and the buttocks hurt from the fall, Zhong Yiqiu grinned and stared at Xiao Mingye with majestic eyes.

Behind him was an endless piece of land that had just been planted. Xiao Mingye immediately stood there, smiling contentedly. He walked over and wanted to reach out to pull him, but he was pushed away angrily.

"Drink soda? I'll buy it for you," Xiao Mingye raised his chin in the direction of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Keep drinking for yourself!" Zhong Yiqiu shouted at him.

"I'll take you to the mountains this afternoon, do you want to go?" Xiao Mingye asked again.

"Keep playing by yourself!"

Xiao Mingye: "..."

Seeing that he couldn't get up, Xiao Mingye sat down next to him regardless of the dirt on the floor, "Uncle Yi is right, what you did was a good thing, there is nothing wrong with it."

Zhong Yiqiu looked at the rusty basketball hoop in front of him, "I was wrong, I was too naive! Let Uncle Yi pay such a high price," he sighed, and continued sadly, "He works so hard to earn such a little money. Money, why let him pay?"

Xiao Mingye rubbed the mud on his hands, "In this school, there are more than 20 students graduating from elementary school every year, and maybe a dozen who can be admitted to junior high school. There are still half of them who don't go to the school. There is no increase but a decrease every year. The teachers just need to get paid," Xiao Mingye turned his head and stared into his eyes, "someone has to make a tear first."

Zhong Yiqiu understands these things, and he also knows Uncle Yi's good intentions, but he still blames himself.

Xiao Mingye stood up and patted the ashes on his buttocks, "Don't think about it, you might as well think about how to make more money from that little land.

Zhong Yiqiu's face was smacked by the dust he patted, and she didn't care about scolding, thinking about it seriously, "Yes, I have to learn how to plow with an ox first!"

"Second brother, do you have a cow at home, lend me a lesson?"

"Second brother? Second brother!"

...

After school at noon, he went back through the small gate, walked to the statue and met Li Hongfei and Yuan Bing, who didn't know what to say.

Seeing him, Li Hongfei waved to stop him.

Asking Yuan Bing to leave first, Li Hongfei sipped his dimples with concern on his face, "Yuan Yan hasn't come to school for three days, and last week her family asked Yuan Bing to ask for leave, saying that she was sick. I didn't ask for two days off, and I asked Yuan Bing and he didn't know."

Zhong Yiqiu remembered Yuan Yan, because Li Hongfei specifically explained to him on the first day that Yuan Yan was different from other children, her intelligence was not very normal.

Usually looks good, even taller and more beautiful than most little girls, but the difference is obvious in speaking and reading.

The second-grade child has already started to learn multiplication, but she can only do addition and subtraction within 10, and she has never been able to understand the carry of two digits.

This kind of learning progress is supposed to be unable to advance to the second grade, but she has already stayed in the second grade, and the children who are her age have already entered the fourth grade.

This year her father searched for the school several times, but he could only promote her to the second grade first.

Zhong Yiqiu took time out to give her lectures every day, but up to now it was still useless.

"Do you want to visit her house?" Zhong Yiqiu was also worried.

Li Hongfei hesitated a little.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yiqiu asked.

"I'm a little afraid of her mother," Li Hongfei said shyly.

Zhong Yiqiu: "???"

Li Hongfei said, "Last year, the head teacher of the first grade went to visit her home and made her mother break her head!" Said that he was too timid, and he blushed a little, "Her mother is more serious than her, she is a lunatic, I don't know what is wrong with her Just hit someone."

Zhong Yiqiu heard this for the first time, and asked, "Where's her father?"

Li Hongfei replied, "Her father is normal, because the family is too poor to marry a daughter-in-law, and she is a bachelor until she is in her 40s. Her mother will go crazy. I don't know where she came from. She was taken in by her father and lived together. .”

Zhong Yiqiu felt as if he was listening to a story. Seeing that Li Hongfei was really scared, he proposed, "How about I go with you?"

Li Hongfei waved his hand, "Forget it, don't block both of us there!"

Zhong Yiqiu: "...We two men still can't control a lunatic!"

In the afternoon, he finished the first two classes, and the third class was physical education. He handed over the students to Xiao Mingye. When he left the office and went back to practice radio gymnastics, Li Hongfei hadn't come back yet.

Zhong Yiqiu's mind automatically began to picture him being chased and beaten by a lunatic, and then he became worried.

Xiao Mingye came back from get out of class and said he would take him up the mountain to play. He shared his worries, but Xiao Mingye didn't feel any fluctuations in his heart at all. He felt that he was used to Zhong Yiqiu's imagination, and he could even help him correct what was not rigorous.

Tell him that Li Hongfei is back and is intact, and before he finishes speaking and wants to go and have a look, he takes him by the arm and pulls him away.
