49. Eat fertilizer
Before departure, according to the requirements of the school, each teacher must study the instructions for home visits, watch a family education lecture, and convey the content of the lecture to parents. This lecture was originally for parents, but parents who have the time, and even if they have time to watch it, they may not understand it. Li Qiang, a seventh-grade history teacher, later wrote home visit feedback, saying that he printed some experts' words into a booklet and sent them to parents. On the first page, the expert said that social problems boil down to human problems, human problems are attributed to early years, problems in early years are attributed to the family, and family problems are attributed to parents. A parent retorted on the spot, saying that everything is a parent's problem, what do you teachers want you teachers to do? What kind of bullshit theory is this?
The group gathered, and Mei Cheng's group came the earliest. Xiao Zhao has short hair, wears a light-colored skirt, and half-high heels, and is tall, with a handsome face and crescent-like eyes. Zhen Shenyu wears a white suit, with a breasted front and a ruffle trim, and a brand bag on his shoulder, outlining a slender figure, as beautiful as the autumn moon. The apricot-like eyes, the pupils are as deep and ethereal as the night sky. It's just that the age and the name are a little inconsistent, should the name change with age, for example, when I was a child, I was called Shen Xiaoyu, and when I was older, I was called Zhen Shenyu. Mei Cheng was wearing a gray sportswear, stepping on black travel shoes, his face was calm, and he was full of bookishness. At eight o'clock, all the teachers arrived, and the bus drove the home visiting team straight to the foot of the mountain.
Xiao Zhao called 10 families yesterday and told them to wait at home, planning to visit five families in the morning, who knew that four of the five households had no one, the doors were locked, some did not answer the phone, and some said that they were rushing to the market and would go home after a while.
Only one family has the door open, which is enough to save face.
The reason why the family did not lock the door was because the house had a consignment office that sold all kinds of daily necessities. The shop is a three-room brick and concrete bungalow, and the house is more than 10 years old. The male head is in his forties, medium height, and dark skin. Maybe this year there is more sunbathing, only the teeth are white. He looked at the three teachers, all of them were young, well-dressed, and felt as if there was still value in conversation, and let them in. The matriarch nodded, saying that she was going out to buy goods, and went out with a big plastic bag.
Didn't treat us like air, it's okay. Zhen Shenyu looked at Mei Cheng and muttered, and Mei Cheng smiled slightly.
Xiao Zhao talked about the child's performance in school: he is easy to talk in class, and he hasn't handed in his homework for two consecutive months this semester. The male patriarch smiled and said: The family doesn't want him to be admitted to college, as long as he can grow up. What's the use of studying well? How much do you pay a month?
Xiao Zhao thought: I just raised my salary recently, and I will be shocked when I say it. He straightened his chest and said: More than 4,000 yuan.
The male patriarch was taken aback and said, "That's it!"
Mei Cheng thought to himself: You are so awesome, how much can you earn in your shop?
He looked at Mei Cheng and continued: "Do you know how much my nephew earns a day by driving an excavator? 400 a day, more than 10,000 a month. The neighbor's second son works as an electric welder in Jiangsu, and he has more than 10,000 a month. Neither of them graduated from junior high school, and they earn more than you college and graduate students.
Xiao Zhao's face turned a little red, and he didn't speak indignantly. Zhen Shenyu took out the iPhone from his bag and said coldly: In three years, these two professions will disappear, and robots will replace them.
I don't care what three years later, rural people only look at the present, and now they have money to earn. Who knows what it will look like in three years? Maybe your teachers will be replaced by robots. The male patriarch's tone was firm.
The three young teachers were speechless.
At lunchtime, they should go back to the school cafeteria to eat, but it is easy to find the parents of the students during meal time, so they decided not to go back and found a roadside store at random.
There are only two bungalows in the roadside shop, one is the kitchen and the other is the restaurant. On the door plaque is written a few big characters of the Queen Mother West Hotel.
The Empress Dowager Xi also opened a restaurant, Xiao Zhen said with a smile.
The Empress Dowager West is a village name, not Cixi. Xiao Zhao explained.
There is only one middle-aged woman in the restaurant, tall and slightly fat, who works as both a boss and a chef. Mei Cheng ordered soybean sprouts, because they hadn't eaten them for a long time and wanted to practice their teeth, and they each ordered tofu skin and shredded potatoes. The soybean sprouts were stewed and not rotten, and they were easy to chew and were about to swallow when they were bitten by something, and then a bad smell rushed out of their mouths. He hurriedly spit into his hand to see if it was a tooth.
A yellowish and blackened particle, like a pebble.
This is chemical fertilizer, Xiao Zhao whispered, don't eat it, it's poisonous!
Mei Cheng had heard before that the bean sprouts sold in the countryside used urea as auxin, which made the bean sprouts grow faster, grow bigger, and have a high germination rate. Few people in the city eat this kind of dish, but I didn't expect something to happen to my teeth practice.
Boss, change the dishes!" Mei Cheng shouted.
What's wrong?, the boss came over and asked.
This dish has a pesticide smell. He pointed with his hand, but did not dare to say that there was a smell of urine.
Where's the pesticide? She sniffed with her nose.
You are really, the female boss said angrily, the first time I saw you, and I was still a teacher!
Forget it, forget it. Xiao Zhao took the boss away, and said with a smile that he had a bad sense of taste.
I've been doing it for twenty years, and no one has ever said anything nasty. I think you're trying to pay off. The more the female boss talked, the more angry she became.
Who wants to repay the debt? Is it worth your money? Mei Cheng dismissed.
Zhen Shenyu pursed his lips and smiled, and said: You still pretend to be the big boss?
Mei Cheng was angry and ate a steamed bun, and Zhen Shenyu only ate half of it.
Mei Cheng went to check out, but Xiao Zhao didn't let him, but Mei Cheng was cash, and the boss only recognized cash and didn't recognize numbers, and he didn't let anyone.
Before going out, the female boss shouted in a sharp voice: You teachers are just slamming the door!
Mei Cheng said to himself: I'm not a teacher, okay?
You're not a teacher, or are you a boss?" they blushed.
In the afternoon, they visited the remaining five families, and met with all but one of them who did not return to the market. Three of the parents are in their sixties and seventies.
His parents have gone to work, and we'll talk about it when they come back!" replied in a hoarse voice.
Nine households were visited, and the effect was almost zero.
I hope the last one will have something to gain! Xiao Zhao cheered them up.
After the phone call, the parents of the students came out of their homes to greet them.
I am the mother of student Hou Yan, thank you for the home visit of the teachers!
They shook hands with their parents one by one, and their hearts felt warm.
The home is very well decorated, which is rare in the mountains.
She made tea in paper cups for all three.
Her dad owned an auto repair shop in town, and I was at home to take care of my two children's schooling. The boss graduated from college last year, and he almost scored points in the civil service exam, so I asked him to take the teacher exam, and he said that he would not be a teacher if he worked part-time.
Why do you have such prejudices against teachers?
The main thing is that it is too bitter and depends on time. is also fighting for the promotion title. Come to think of it, we rural people will definitely not be able to compete for the powerful. She said with her head down.
Mei Cheng said: Now that the state has given preferential policies to teachers in mountainous areas, it is much easier to promote their professional titles than before.
Xiao Zhao said: Hou Yan's performance in all aspects is very good, which has a lot to do with the active cooperation of parents.
Hou Yan has a poor foundation, but she studies very hard and understands knowledge very quickly. If the pronunciation of the word is not very accurate, you can go to the bookstore and buy her a cassette tape to correct the pronunciation. Mei Cheng suggested.
I'll go to the bookstore tomorrow to buy it. The parent said with a smile.
On the way back to the gathering, looking at the red maple leaves on the side of the road, Mei Cheng suddenly remembered Xiao Zhang and Xiao Ding's exam questions, 5+2=0 was a little eyebrow-raising.
He asked Xiao Zhao: 5+2=0, is it the relationship between school education and family education, the teacher has been seriously educating at school for 5 days, and the child has been home for two days, and all the educational effects have been in vain?
Xiao Zhao gave a thumbs up and said: The son can be taught.
Xiao Zhen smiled and blushed, and his famous bag was swinging around beside him.
It's a pity that you didn't eat it, the fish will grow faster if they eat some fertilizer!" Mei Cheng teased her.
The fish pursed its lips and picked up the bag to smash him.
Mei Cheng ran up with a smile.
