The children are finally willing to come to school. They like to sing and compete with each other to see who sings better and sings more.
So, in order to learn to sing, they all came to the classroom one by one, but they didn't sit like sitting down, and they didn't stand like standing either. Hu Lina looked helpless and had a headache.
"I will teach you how to sing, but there are requirements."
Hu Lina said: "You must sit at the desk. Whoever sits well will be taught how to sing."
After hearing the teacher's words, the children rushed to sit on the bench. According to the posture taught by Teacher Hu Lina, they folded their hands on the desk and straightened their backs.
Hu Lina nodded with satisfaction: "Let's continue learning new songs today."
Then she turned her back and wrote four words on the blackboard - "Defend the Yellow River".
"Do you know what this word is?"
The children shook their heads like rattles.
Hu Lina pointed to the words and said word by word: "Guard, defend, Yellow River!"
"Teacher, what is the Yellow River!"
"The Yellow River is our mother river and the most important birthplace of our Chinese civilization. The mother river produces 1.6 billion tons of sediment every year, of which 1.2 billion tons flow into the sea, and the remaining 400 million tons remain in the lower reaches of the Yellow River for many years.
, forming an alluvial plain, which is conducive to planting... Come on, you open the textbook and turn to page 13."
The children's curiosity was aroused, they found the textbooks and listened to the instructions.
And Hu Lina has gradually entered the teaching mode: ""Defend the Yellow River" is a representative work of the famous pianist and composer Liao Yuan in my country..."
"Liao Yuan? We know Liao Yuan!"
A child yelled.
Hu Lina was surprised: "Do you know Liao Yuan?"
"Yes, this school was built for us by Liao Yuan! My father said he was a big boss and a big profiteer!"
A child pointed to the classroom above his head and said happily.
Hu Lina was stunned, and then retorted: "Teacher Liao Yuan is a musician, a grand pianist, not a profiteer! Listen, the song "Defend the Yellow River" I will give you next is Liao Yuan's work, you study
You must understand from this the great spirit of Teacher Liao Yuan in protecting his family, do you hear me?"
"I heard it!" the children said in unison.
Hu Lina nodded, sighed slightly, and then began to teach;
"The wind is roaring——"
The children immediately started singing along, raising their necks and shouting at the top of their lungs: "The wind is roaring——"
"The horse is braying——"
"The horse is braying——"
"The Yellow River is Roaring"
"The Yellow River is Roaring"
"The mountains in Hexi are ten thousand feet high"
…
The village chief appeared outside the classroom window and looked at Hu Lina teaching the children to learn "Defending the Yellow River" in a orderly manner. There was a look of surprise on his face, but he still shook his head.
He still found it hard to believe that Hu Lina would persevere.
In recent years, with the development of the western volunteer education plan, more and more volunteer teachers have come here from big cities and want to work here for three years. When the teacher quota quota is available, they can return to work in the city.
.
However, how can these pampered city children endure the hardships of the mountain villages and ditches?
The longest one lasted a month, and the shortest one left on the same day.
The village chief sighed, sat down on the ground, picked up the cigarette rod at the waist, lit the cigarette holder, and listened to the children singing songs while smoking.
Slowly, his tears fell.
Yellow River……
How long has it been since you last seen the water of the Yellow River?
When I face old age and death, I may not even have the chance to go out...
…
"Warmly welcome the famous musician Mr. Liao Yuan and the famous economist Mr. Dong Qiusheng!"
At Xihe Qianhu Miao Village, two buses slowly stopped in front of the Miao Village.
Different from Shuanghe Village, Xihezhai is a small town after all, so the infrastructure is very well built, and the surrounding mountains and clear waters are beautiful. The houses here are also closely packed together, and each house is built to be extremely well-off, giving people the feeling of a tourist resort.
It is definitely a good choice for busy office workers in the city to come here exclusively during their vacation.
It's just that the area is a bit remote.
Those who came to greet them were several beautiful girls in Miao costumes, singing and dancing. Liao Yuan smiled the whole time. He couldn't understand the language here. The women not far away didn't know if they spoke Hakka or something else. They were very interested in Liao Yuan.
He pointed with his far finger and smiled happily.
Liao Yuan turned around and asked: "How is the acceptance status?"
"Everything passed. Believe me, even an eight-magnitude earthquake can definitely withstand it!"
Dong Qiusheng is somewhat high-spirited. Compared with the jousting in the business world and the frequent turnover of hundreds of millions, this kind of charity makes Dong Qiusheng feel particularly meaningful.
At this time, two beautiful Miao girls presented Liao Yuan and Dong Qiusheng with Miao brocades symbolizing the distinguished guests one by one.
Dong Qiusheng was unmoved, but Liao Yuan quickly thanked her. The Miao girl smiled and said in blunt Mandarin: "Welcome to Xihe!"
Then, the mayor of Xihe Town walked over quickly, shook Dong Qiusheng's hand vigorously, and said excitedly: "Mr. Dong, we finally meet! Thank you for your support of the infrastructure construction of Xihe Town!..."
Thank you for saying a lot.
Until Liao Yuan asked: "Where is the school? Can I go and have a look?"
When the mayor heard this, he was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Of course, but Mr. Liao and Mr. Dong have come all the way here, so naturally we in Xihe Town want to show friendship to the landlords..."
"No, I just want to see the school." Liao Yuan smiled slightly.
The mayor smiled and said: "Okay, Ah Sang, you take Mr. Liao to the school to have a look."
The school is very well built and beautiful, with a height of five floors.
But after Liao Yuan inspected it, he felt more and more something was wrong, so he turned around and asked, "Asang, where are the students?"
"ah?"
Asang was a little shy and stammered: "Have you all gone home for dinner?"
Liao Yuan paused, opened the door of a classroom, walked around, and asked again with a smile: "Are there no students?"
Under Liao Yuan's gaze, Asang's face became increasingly rosy and he said, "Well... maybe school hasn't started yet?"
It's already October and school hasn't started yet?
Are you a local?
Liao Yuan asked again: "Where is the teacher?"
Asang said: "Ah? Teacher, Teacher Liu is here, please wait!"
After finishing speaking, he walked out of the classroom and shouted loudly downstairs: "Teacher Liu! Teacher Liu!"
Teacher Liu came up quickly. He was a dull-looking man, somewhat bald, probably in his thirties, well-dressed, and looked like a teacher: "Teacher Liu, hasn't school started yet?
"
"Ah? School has started!"
Teacher Liu was stunned for a moment, glanced at the nervous and embarrassed Asang, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liao, Asang is not a local. She is a relative of the mayor in the county and can speak Mandarin, so the mayor called her
coming."
Liao Yuan nodded, then invited Teacher Liu to sit down and have an in-depth understanding.
Teacher Liu was very generous. He took out a cigarette and handed it to Liao Yuan. When Liao Yuan refused to smoke, he lit one by himself.
As he smoked, he smiled and said: "Mr. Liao, you have never been to a rural area before, right? Especially our rural areas in the western region."
Liao Yuan nodded.
Teacher Liu said: "Nowadays, most of the young and middle-aged people in rural areas have gone out to work, and those who stay at home are the elderly and children. The elderly have inconvenient legs and feet, and most of them are illiterate and uneducated, so the discipline of the grandchildren is very difficult.
It’s basically a sheep-herding attitude.”
"Children in the mountains are naughty and disobedient to discipline. The better ones graduated from elementary school, learned a few things, and then went to work with their parents. The worse ones didn't even finish the first grade. They got used to being wild in the mountains, so they still
They yearn for freedom and are not interested in learning, and may even become disgusted if they are pushed too hard.”
Teacher Liu puffed out smoke and said slowly: "It is said that knowledge changes destiny, but the lack of family education makes it difficult for some children to really have the patience to learn knowledge. I am very grateful to Mr. Liao for funding the construction of Hope Primary School. This is a good thing.
But let me tell you the truth. In Qianhu Town, Xihe, there are about seven or eight hundred people in each house. Excluding the young and middle-aged people who go out to work and the elderly and children who stay in the village, there are only about two or three hundred people.
Now is the information age, and young people are not as focused on having more children as they used to be. They are afraid of poverty and don’t want to continue to be poor, so some people simply don’t have children, and at most they
It only takes one child to keep the memory alive for the continuation of the family line. And this child is basically a left-behind child. Therefore, there are only about thirty or forty children in the village who have reached school grade."
"And teacher, I'm the only one."
Teacher Liu looked a little lonely, as if recalling his early teaching experience. After a while, he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I am responsible for the primary school curriculum from the first grade to the sixth grade. Although there are only thirty-four children, but on time
There are only eight children who come to class, and these eight children are very smart. For their sake, I will continue to teach here."
After listening to Teacher Liu's heartfelt words, Liao Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "You are a good teacher."
"What a good thing!"
Teacher Liu laughed and waved his hand: "Mr. Liao, please don't praise me. To tell you the truth, I don't have a teaching certificate and I am from Yeluzi. However, after all, I graduated from high school and have been teaching for more than ten years.
It’s more than enough to keep a few primary school students, and apart from teaching, I can’t do anything else, so I can only stay here.”
Liao Yuan nodded: "Is this the same situation in other villages?"
"Absolutely. There are many people who support teaching, but in the end there are very few who insist on staying. Recently, another group came. It has only been two or three weeks, and they have all left. Oh, I heard
There is a little girl from Shuanghe Village who came to teach and she persisted, and the children were still willing to listen to her lectures. She basically didn’t fail in any of her lessons. Do you think it’s magical or not? It’s almost become a myth here!”
