On the way back, Wang Yiyi was in a very low mood.
Having seen their home, she could understand why Liu Yuqing was introverted and timid during the day. She worked hard to study, hoping to learn along with her sister.
When they knocked on the door and entered, in a small room, there was an old and frail grandmother, a little brother who was waiting for food, and an elder sister who was hurriedly comforting the younger brother under the guidance of the grandmother, and then hurriedly ran into the kitchen, with the younger sister following behind her.
, eagerly wanted to help, but her sister asked her to do her homework.
Liu Yuxing, who is still a child, has to do all the household chores such as laundry, cooking and cleaning by herself.
When Teacher Hou was giving extra lessons to Liu Yuxing, Liu Yuqing consciously took over the responsibility of taking care of her younger brother.
The walls are covered with certificates of various sizes from the two sisters. It can be seen that the person who posted them was very considerate. He divided the wall into two parts, one for the sister and one for the sister.
When grandma spoke to them about her two granddaughters in broken Mandarin, her tone was full of pride. As she spoke, she shed tears, and kept saying that she was dragging them down.
In Wang Yiyi's silence, she witnessed it with her own eyes. When this kind of thing happened in front of her eyes, she had mixed feelings, was so surprised and helpless that she was speechless.
But even Teacher Hou, who was clearly mentally prepared, kept his head down all the way, wondering what he was thinking.
Something was wrong with Teacher Hou. It started when Liu Yuxing pulled Teacher Hou at the door and whispered something when he was sending them out. Wang Yiyi captured it carefully: "Teacher Hou, did Yuxing say something to you just now?"
Teacher Hou looked up at the sky, unable to hide his melancholy, "She asked me not to go over to teach her next week."
"What?" Wang Yiyi was thinking silently just now. It is not easy for this child to continue to study hard in such a difficult environment. "Why?"
"Yu Xing said that she has to take care of her family now and can't take care of her studies at the same time, so she doesn't want to bother me anymore." Teacher Hou smiled self-deprecatingly, "Before I came here, I thought naively that it's the 21st century now, so...
Isn't there still a place where we can't even have enough to eat? Children go to school to study and receive education. Isn't that the right that compulsory education gives us? When I got here, I discovered that everything I thought would never happen in this society.
Things are often worse than reality."
Teacher Hou suddenly stopped and looked at the dark mountain top. She didn't know what she thought of. She was silent for a moment. When she spoke again, her voice was choked with sobs. She waved and fanned herself, "Women here, including girls,
They have lived a very difficult life since they were born. I am lucky enough to have seen the wonderful world outside these mountains, so from the first day here, I have been working hard to let more children here
Get out of here and come into contact with a completely different world.”
"Looking at it now." Teacher Hou couldn't say any more, and then muttered: "We are born as human beings.
This rural volunteer teacher, who is about the same age as Wang Yiyi, came here full of enthusiasm and held unwavering faith to change the life destiny of the children here.
However, the reality is helpless and cruel, unlike the utopia described in the textbooks where as long as you work hard, you will gain something.
Wang Yi took a step forward, took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her. He gently patted Teacher Hou's back to comfort her, and said in a very gentle tone, "You are already much better than most people. You have been doing what you want to do."
It’s not easy to persist in doing something until now. As for the result, it is very important, but it cannot be forced.”
"Someone said this to me a long time ago. Although I still don't understand many things in this sentence until now, it does make me calm down sometimes and think about what to do next."
Wang Yi pushed aside the broken hair that was flying in the wind on her head, pursed her lips and thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Maybe a few days later, I was thinking again, how did I convince myself at that time? I completely did it."
Not enough."
Teacher Hou burst into laughter. Compared to Zhou Ze, she had no idea who Wang Yiyi was and only had a vague first impression of her that was not very positive.
If the rumors were true, she thought she probably understood the reason. She didn't even envy Wang Yiyi for meeting Zhou Ze, but instead envied Zhou Ze.
After so many years, when the freshness and enthusiasm have faded, and a good-looking face is no longer necessary to maintain a relationship, why would Zhou Ze still choose to be with someone who is inferior to him in every aspect?
After all, even she was impressed by her as a woman, gentle and firm, true and natural, kind and open-minded.
These qualities are the best descriptions of a woman that Teacher Hou can think of, and Wang Yiyi happens to have them all.
The person who said this was standing aside, boredly looking at the wildflowers and weeds that were about to sprout on the roadside, looking around from time to time. In front of him were two women leaning together to comfort each other. It was not convenient for him to come forward and disturb them, even though he was for
The person who is "comforting" has no hope. It would be good if he is not comforted in turn.
It is neither possible nor realistic to rely on the power of one person to change most of the things that already exist in this world. What we can do is to stick to what we want to do, even if we can only change a little bit in the end.
It is the trace of my own efforts to exist.
When Zhou Ze said this, Wang Yiyi was in a very awkward stage. She was constantly competing with herself, her family, her friends, and everyone close to her.
Although she still doesn't understand the contradictory part of that sentence, she doesn't really care about it, nor is she eager to find out what it means.
When you are at a loss for words, take it out and recite it silently several times.
Wang Yiyi is not a person who has a strong desire to share, but at this moment, she suddenly thought of this sentence and had the urge to share it with Teacher Hou.
"It's funny." Teacher Hou secretly wiped her tears. She was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I'm not like this usually. I was just a little excited today and accidentally lost my temper."
"I know." Wang Yiyi smiled lightly. She really knew, and she was too familiar with this feeling.
Many people say that Wang Yiyi is usually very cold, with a sense of distance all over her body, but this distance seems to disappear automatically when she is in front of another person who looks like her.
Teacher Hou faced the mountain, took a deep breath, and made up his mind: "Go back."
Wang Yi nodded and walked inside, "Let's work together to find a solution to the matter between Yuxing and Yuqing's family."
Zhou Ze heard this and was afraid that Wang Yiyi would become hot-headed again, so he wanted to pull her back quickly: "The top priority is to find out what she thinks, so that we can prescribe the right medicine."
