Okay. Today’s second chapter. This is all. I drank some wine to celebrate the New Year. I don’t have to drink even if I want to celebrate the New Year. You will definitely understand. Come on tomorrow. Hehe...
As he walked, Xu Hong looked at Yu Fan and sighed: "I heard that the current teacher is also from outside. He has been there for several years. He came to teach." When he said this, a look of shame flashed across Xu Hong's face. . said: "Actually, what I wanted most at the beginning was to come back here and become a teacher after I finished my studies. I would no longer leave the children in the village without a teacher to teach them."
Yu Fan was stunned for a moment. Then he let out a long sigh. He didn't expect that Xu Hong would have such an ideal. If her mother hadn't been ill at the time, maybe Xu Hong would have returned to her hometown and become a glorious person. When I thought about it, I suddenly felt that even Xiao Nizi once had such a clear ideal. On the contrary, my own ideal seemed a bit vague.
The hillside was not very far from where the two of them were standing. There were only a few dilapidated-looking thatched houses standing on the hillside. They looked a bit miserable. It seemed that they would collapse instantly as long as a gust of wind blew. This situation made Yu Fan He couldn't help but frown. It looked more dilapidated than he imagined.
Yu Fan's family did not come from Lucaotan Town since he was born. When he was very young, Yu Fan still lived in his hometown. Before entering the second grade of elementary school, he went to school in the village elementary school. The conditions were very difficult at that time. But no matter how difficult the conditions were, they were hundreds of times better than what he saw before him.
Even the population of Shanzhai is not very large. Most of the young labor force has chosen to go out to work. Some even directly settle down outside. After all, life in the mountains is too hard. They are used to the colorful world outside. Only a small number of people can come back here again.
There are about a dozen children sitting in the open space outside the uphill slope at the moment. A wooden board is placed on a few bricks. This is the desk for these children. Even so, not every child has it. Many children have it. Such desks are shared by two children.
Yu Fan also saw the teacher Xu Hong mentioned. She was a woman. She was not very old. She looked in her twenties. She was very ordinary and wore a pair of glasses on her face. If such a person were placed in In the city, it is almost the kind that is not easy to find in the crowd. But at this time, Yu Fan saw her smiling face while teaching the children. I don’t know why. There was always something special in my heart. feeling.
The hillside was very empty. The female teacher quickly discovered them. She was slightly startled at first, but then she smiled and said something to the children. She turned around and walked towards them. "You are not from the mountain village, are you?" "After saying hello, the female teacher also asked them with a smile.
"I am the daughter of the Xu family in the village. I am Xu Hong. This is Yu Fan." Xu Hong obviously had a good impression of this female teacher. He naturally took her hand and introduced himself.
"Oh, you are Xu Hong." After hearing Xu Hong's introduction, the female teacher looked at her in surprise. Xu Hong asked with a confused look: "Why, do you know me?" After that, she said carefully. He looked at the female teacher. He seemed to be trying very hard to think of where he had seen her.
Shaking her head, the female teacher smiled and said: "We have never met. I just heard the previous teacher talk about you. He said that you are the only college student who has studied in Lianshanzhai in recent years. You are the pride of Lianshanzhai." This was very interesting to hear. Hong's face turned red, which made her feel even more ashamed. Although she was a little happy to hear her teacher praising her so much, she felt very ashamed when she remembered that she had not done anything for the village over the years.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Fu Tingting. I am a teacher here to support teaching." Fu Tingting seemed very polite. She introduced herself with a smile and shook hands with the two of them with a smile.
"Teacher Fu, why don't you let these students go to the classroom? Although it is summer now, the morning temperature in the mountains is still very low." Yu Fan asked strangely, pointing to the thatched hut behind. .
Fu Tingting smiled slightly and was about to say something. Xu Hong rolled her eyes at Yu Fan and said, "Idiot, don't you see that these houses are about to collapse? Rather than let these children take this risk. It's better to let everyone go outside. It's much safer this way. I often took classes outside when I was a child." Xu Hong came from the mountains after all. He explained clearly and logically. Yu Fan nodded for a while.
The safety of students has become a topic of increasing concern in big cities. Yu Fan often sees many similar topics on TV and newspapers. Not long ago, Yu Fan also saw a report saying that A 'stampede' occurred in a school when school was over, causing a major safety incident. Yu Fan felt very emotional about such a thing. If our schools and teachers were more responsible, wouldn't such an incident be a problem? It can be avoided.
Under the leadership of Fu Tingting, Yu Fan and Xu Hong also visited these thatched classrooms. From Fu Tingting's words, Yu Fan could hear her worries about the current environment of Lianshan Village. And Yu Fan also sensed these. This is not the first time Fu Tingting has mentioned this. Almost everyone who comes here will say the same thing. The purpose is very simple. She hopes that someone can care about this school in the mountains and care about the children here. them.
His career in officialdom for so many years has made Yu Fan subconsciously think about the meaning behind what others say. With his ability to sense things that are different from ordinary people, he can often grasp these things very accurately. However, This time Yu Fan felt very ashamed after feeling it.
As Xu Hong said before, it is too dangerous for these children to attend classes in such classrooms. The beams of some classrooms are already hanging in mid-air. It is frightening to see them swaying." Hasn't anyone from the local government come to see what's going on here?" Looking at the young faces in the open space in front of the door, Yu Fan felt a little heavy.
"There are people coming to the town." Fu Tingting nodded and sighed: "According to the county's plan, the village should be moved outside the mountain. However, it is difficult to leave the homeland. Many people in the village, especially It's because the old people don't want to leave here. So later on, fewer people came to the town." When saying this, Fu Tingting seemed to feel helpless. In her opinion, if the village moved outside the mountain, no matter everyone The living conditions and the learning conditions of the children would be much better. She really couldn't understand what was so good about living in this valley.
He nodded and looked at Fu Tingting and smiled slightly. Yu Fan said: "Mr. Fu, thank you very much for taking us to visit here. You are able to give up the superior living conditions in the city and come to this valley to be a volunteer teacher. This in itself is worthy of my respect. "I think this is also something worthy of everyone's respect." Yu Fan said these words very sincerely. Fu Tingting's incident reminded him of the old man he met in Dapu County. The difference is that the two people Age is essentially the same.
Fu Tingting seemed a little embarrassed about Yu Fan's praise. She quickly said humbly: "Nowhere. This is what I should do. Nowadays, many college students across the country go to remote areas to teach. Some of them go to places with better conditions than me. It’s even harder here. It’s pretty good here.”
Hearing Fu Tingting's words, Yu Fan nodded and said with a smile: "You are all people worthy of respect. It is because of people like you that our country and nation become more hopeful." After speaking, he smiled. He extended his hand to Fu Tingting and said, "I'm glad to see Teacher Fu this time."
On the way back, Xu Hong seemed a little silent. This little girl is a person who can't hide things in her heart. Whatever thoughts she has in her heart are directly reflected on her face. When they were about to return to the village, Xu Hong took Yu's arm. Fan held his hand and said: "I heard from my father that Teacher Fu will go back to the city soon. I don't know if there will be a new teacher in the village in the future. Husband, I want to go back to the village after Teacher Fu leaves. Be a teacher. Do you agree?" After saying this, Xu Hong also raised his head and looked at Yu Fan.
Smiling slightly, Yu Fan raised his hand and tapped her nose gently. He joked: "I thought you would endure this until you go back and tell me again. I didn't expect that you are a mother. You should change it." I can't handle such an impatient personality. Haha." After saying this, Xiao Nizi became reluctant for a while and writhed in Yu Fan's arms like a spoiled brat.
"Okay. Okay. It's not that I disagree." Yu Fan hugged the little girl gently. He smiled and comforted her for a while. After a long time, he said seriously: "Have you ever thought about it? In fact, even if you come back, it won't change much. Things. Besides, my daughter is still young. Can you bear to leave her alone in the city?"
This sentence hits the point of Xiao Nizi's pain. The reason why it took so long to consider is because the daughter is still young. No new mother wants to leave her daughter for a long time. There was a silence. After that, Xu Hong said with a firm tone: "I can take Xiaohong with me. I was born here when I was a child. With my care, our daughter will definitely not endure hardship."
Xu Hong's expression made Yu Fan look a little funny. "You take care of it, silly girl. Now you need someone else to take care of you. You still want to take care of your daughter. Are you kidding me?" Xu Hong pouted for a while. It's almost done. Yu Fan smiled and said: "Okay. I have already thought about this matter. Aren't you going to develop in the country when you return to China this time? Go back and discuss with Mingyan. Come here to invest."
