"Teacher Hou, how many years have you been here?" Wang Yi asked: "It seems that you two have a deep relationship."
"It has been three years, and this is the fourth year." When talking about this topic, Teacher Hou felt full of accomplishment. "The children are very cute and sensible. It has been so long without even realizing it."
Wang Yiyi could not help but feel full of admiration for Teacher Hou, "You are great."
Teacher Hou shook his head and denied, "No, we are also lucky. The attention of all walks of life here has given the children the current learning conditions and allowed me to stay here."
Wang Yi smiled and said nothing more. She was thinking about what she could do for the children here.
Indeed, as Teacher Hou said, there are many places like this in China, but not every place can get as much attention as here.
When she saw dozens of faces in the classroom, they looked simple and innocent. They were wearing school uniforms that had been washed until they were white but neat, which were passed down from generation to generation. They also treated their books with care and wrapped them up.
The calendar at home is regarded as a treasure.
Especially their eyes, which were clear and pure, filled with hope and expectation. Wang Yi felt sore when he looked at them.
She felt that what the outside world could do was only a drop in the bucket compared to Teacher Hou's contribution here.
"Teacher Wang, Teacher Zhou", Teacher Hou followed the children and called them, "Thank you for your hard work today, see you tomorrow."
Zhou Ze followed Wang Yiyi with his hands behind his back and listened carefully to their conversation.
As soon as Wang Yi knew that Teacher Hou's dormitory was inside the school, he saw her putting notebooks into her bag and carrying them on her back, "Mr. Hou, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to visit a student's home," Teacher Hou raised the bag on her shoulder and explained, "My classmate Liu Yuqing in our class has a sister, but she didn't come to class this semester."
Wang Yi had an impression of the name and face. She glanced at Zhou Ze subconsciously and asked tentatively: "Teacher Hou, can we go together?"
Teacher Hou did not give an answer at the first time. She thought to herself that this was not on her task list, so she sent a distress signal to the program team.
The program team had negotiated with the school before about this proposal. They asked whether Teacher Hou could select a few representative student families and let their guests participate in the interaction with the families. However, the school immediately dismissed the proposal as a "protective one"
Rejected on grounds of student family privacy.
They were happily preparing to pack up their things and go home today, but suddenly they heard the guest asking for additional recording.
However, spending one day's money can hire someone who is willing to record for a day and a half, and it can also fulfill the original plan of the program team. Of course, they are in favor of it with both hands and feet.
Teacher Hou was a little embarrassed, "Yuqing only has her sister and grandma at home, so the conditions are a bit difficult."
Moreover, there was no communication in advance. Would it be frightening to see so many people at once? After seeing the camera, would the people in the surrounding villages think something had happened? In addition, some rumors would spread, which would definitely affect the two children.
has an impact on growth.
"Teacher Hou, this is just out of my personal wishes and has nothing to do with the program team." Wang Yi understood before Teacher Hou finished speaking, and said quickly: "In class, Yu Qing gave me a very good impression.
Deep down, she is a bit timid. She always waits for passive choices in team activities. During class, her eyes widened again, wishing to remember all the words the teacher said in her mind. I just heard you talk about the situation at her home.
, I really went to see if there was anything I could do to help in their home."
When arriving in a strange environment for the first time, people's eyes can often only see the most active part of the group, and those like Yuqing are often ignored.
Teacher Hou didn't expect Wang Yi to observe so carefully, and when she said this, it could be seen that her expression and tone were sincere from the bottom of her heart, making people involuntarily believe that she was not purposeful.
Just when Wang Yiyi and Teacher Hou had an ineffective confrontation, Zhou Ze understood the reason why Teacher Hou was inconvenient to reveal it. He first asked the staff to turn off the cameras that were always on around him, and then he walked to Wang Yiyi
In front of him, to prevent some "fish from slipping through the net", he blocked the camera, lowered his head and asked softly: "Do you really want to go?"
"Yeah." Wang Yi nodded firmly, regardless of the camera or not, raised his head and looked at him.
Zhou Ze said, "I understand," and walked towards the temporary studio set up outside.
When he came back again, he raised his chin towards Wang Yiyi from a distance, put his fingers next to his thigh, and quietly made an "OK" gesture.
Wang Yi felt relieved and smiled knowingly at him.
He walked back and said, "Teacher Hou, I just discussed with the program team. Can we go alone with you as school volunteers? Don't worry, we won't record or take photos."
Having said this, Teacher Hou finally agreed and said, "The road up the mountain is not easy, so we need two teachers to overcome it."
Wang Yiyi and Zhou Ze said in unison that it was okay.
"And there's more." As they walked, Teacher Hou revealed to them the situation of Liu Yuqing's family and some other students in the class.
There were several times when Wang Yiyi couldn't hold back her true emotions and wanted to say something angrily, but Zhou Ze suppressed her. He shook his head and motioned for her to go over and take a look at the situation first.
Teacher Hou told them that Liu Yuqing had been staying in her hometown with her sister and grandma. The three of them, together with the subsidies their parents usually worked outside and sent home, were enough for them to live on.
The accident happened when Liu Yuqing's parents returned to their hometown this year and brought back an infant brother. Her grandmother accidentally fell while walking in the snow.
After the Spring Festival holiday, when my parents went back to work, they left my younger brother at home. My grandmother could take care of herself, but my younger brother couldn't.
There was no other way, so Liu Yuqing's sister Liu Yuxing, who was still in sixth grade, had to take on the responsibility of the eldest sister and take care of the old and the young at home.
If students don’t attend classes, they won’t be able to make excuses anywhere.
Teacher Hou contacted her parents many times, but the parents only gave one reply: There is nothing they can do. Once the old man recovers and someone takes care of their younger son, the eldest daughter can go back to school.
In the past three years here, Teacher Hou has witnessed with his own eyes that many families use this excuse to ask their children, especially girls, to suspend their studies and go home to help. Liu Yuxing's parents said this, but only one tenth of them will be able to come back in the end.
Probability of two.
From their perspective, they did nothing wrong.
It's just that this child was doing things that were inappropriate for her age at the age when she should have received education. In addition, Liu Yuxing was talented and hardworking. She clearly had the opportunity to change her destiny through reading. Teacher Hou couldn't bear it and sacrificed her life.
During my own breaks, I would go to her house every now and then to give her extra lessons.
