At night, Gu Manman's family did not stay at the village chief's house, but was taken to her house by Tang Xiaohong.
Although Tang Xiaohong is the only teacher in the village, her life is not much better.
She also lives in a thatched house.
The room is neither big nor small, but with the addition of Gu Manman and three other people, it seems a bit crowded.
Tang Xiaohong warmly entertained Gu Manman and the others. She walked slowly and pulled Gu Manman into the house.
"Sit down for a while and wait! If you have time, continue to teach me more knowledge!"
Gu Manman couldn't bear to ask: "Teacher Tang, why are you so eager to learn knowledge?"
Tang Xiaohong paused slightly: "Because, I want to make up for the regrets I had when I was a child. Also, if you leave, I will have new things to teach the children."
In the past twenty years, she has actually taught everything she can.
I have been teaching repetitive knowledge ever since.
After all, she had only gone to school for two years, and she was getting older and could not remember much.
Even though it is repetitive knowledge, the children are still willing to come to her class.
This is also something that makes her feel happy.
She knew very well that children cannot learn repetitive knowledge all the time.
"Children need to learn more and different things."
Gu Manman looked at Tang Xiaohong with emotion. After all, everything she thought and did was for the sake of the children.
There are really not many such good teachers nowadays.
"Teacher Tang, don't worry, these situations will not last forever. Soon, there will be big changes in the village. There will be hospitals, schools, and teachers with different courses to teach the children. Everything will be fine.
"
Gu Manman said firmly.
Tang Xiaohong smiled and shook her head: "Okay, you, don't coax me, an old woman! I know better than you about the situation in the village. I have been here for more than 20 years, and none of the conditions you mentioned exist here."
"Believe me, it will be there soon."
Gu Manman remained determined.
Tang Xiaohong knew it was impossible, but she was still moved by her: "Well, I believe you."
She dragged her old and crooked body and walked outside: "You guys have a good rest, I'll wash the black boards."
"Grandma, just sit down and rest! Leave the black board to us!"
Gu Zichen and Li Zichen helped Tang Xiaohong sit down.
Tang Xiaohong shook his head: "How can this be done? You are children in the city, and you are still so young. Let me do this kind of rough work!"
"We are awesome! Don't worry, we will definitely paint the black wooden boards clean after a while!"
With that said, Gu Zichen and Li Zichen ran out of the house.
Just as Tang Xiaohong was about to chase her out, she was pulled back by Gu Manman: "Teacher Tang, let the children do it."
"This is not good!" She shook her head.
Gu Manman gently pulled her to sit down: "Teacher Tang, I see there is no one in your room. Do you live alone?"
After listening to her words, Tang Xiaohong fell silent.
"Twenty years ago, it wasn't."
Gu Manman paused: "You have a family, right?"
Tang Xiaohong sighed: "My parents passed away early, and I also have a husband and a lovely and smart son."
"But my husband couldn't accept the environment here and asked to leave. I couldn't abandon the studious children here, so I didn't choose to leave with my husband. My husband left here and took my son away..."
Listening to Tang Xiaohong's words, Gu Manman was shocked again.
This 60-year-old female teacher actually persisted in such a difficult environment for more than 20 years, and gave up her husband and children, and even gave up the opportunity to go to a good place to live a better life...
Just so that the children in the village can learn the knowledge they desire.
How can such a teacher not be respected?
"Teacher Tang, do you miss your husband and son?"
Tang Xiaohongyan shed tears: "I think about them all the time. I watch the children in the village grow up every day, and I even wonder, has my child grown so big? My son is now
What does he look like? Will he become an educated person? Will he already have a wife and children? Is he living a good life..."
Seeing more and more tears on her face, Gu Manman wiped her tears sadly.
"Teacher Tang, your son will definitely feel very honored to have a mother like you."
When Tang Xiaohong was silent, she said: "Actually, I have regretted making such a decision...and I have regretted it many times. To be honest, there have been several times when I tried to leave and go find my son.
."
But every time when she was about to leave, the children not only did not stop her, but instead brought her a lot of dry food and souvenirs, and stood in the distance watching her leave.
The child behind him burst into tears, but he still suppressed himself from crying.
Touched again and again, Tang Xiaohong still didn't make up her mind to leave.
Gu Manman hugged Tang Xiaohong gently: "Teacher Tang, you are the person I admire most in my life."
Outside the house, Gu Zichen and Li Zichen set up the black wooden boards and then picked up the bucket beside them.
Li Zichen picked up the brush in the bucket, and Gu Zichen picked up the wooden spoon and spooned the water in the bucket onto the black wooden board for easier cleaning.
The two busy little figures were busy outside, their hair was wet with sweat, and large beads of sweat slowly slid down their foreheads.
It wasn't until dusk fell that the two cute babies cleaned the black wooden board.
After cleaning the black wooden board, Gu Zichen and Li Zichen sat on the bench together. The two cute babies were back to back, looking up at the dusk.
The picture is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, and the most touching thing is the two cute babies cuddling together.
When people look at it, they have the urge to take a photo with a camera.
The dusk is very beautiful, like a touch of orange light that has been wiped by the gods on the sky, dyeing half of the sky red.
Li Zichen was thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.
Suddenly, a curved line of water poured on Li Zichen's face, interrupting his thoughts.
Li Zichen wiped some water on his face, feeling a little overwhelmed.
When he turned around, he saw Gu Zichen holding a spoon and making faces at him.
"Okay! You actually attacked me unexpectedly!"
Li Zichen rushed over and waved the water in the bucket with his hand to sprinkle it on Gu Zichen.
The two started fighting like this.
Chasing each other, time flies by like quicksand.
When night fell, Gu Zichen and Li Zichen stopped chasing, and the two made a stop motion.
"draw!"
Both of them were soaked and panting from exhaustion.
Gu Zichen and Li Zichen sat down again leaning on the bench.
Although the development of rural areas is not good, the environment is really bad.
The air is fresh and the sky is filled with stars.
Such stars are hard to see in the city.
Gu Zichen looked up at the stars in the sky, "How is it, have you thought about it?"
Li Zichen lowered his eyes and smiled: "I have thought about it, I want to help this village."
