Chapter 11: Nightfall
Leaving Liu Qingmei's house, Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo were silent, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.
In the end, it was Ma Zhongguo who spoke first: "Alas, Xiaolin, you are a little too aggressive today, you shouldn't be so tough......"
Lin Ping stopped the bicycle, looked back at Ma Zhongguo with his feet on the ground, and then said bluntly: "Teacher Ma, learning from a high school as a teacher, being a model, being friendly to others, and getting along harmoniously are the qualities that a teacher should have. However, this does not mean that teachers have to compromise and back down in the face of anything. Let me put it more bluntly, the reason why three students will drop out of school in the rural primary school in the Kushan mountain area is partly due to your weakness, Mr. Ma. ”
Lin Ping's words made Ma Zhongguo stunned without saying a word, and his hand holding the donkey's reins trembled slightly.
And Lin Ping was just talking about Teacher Ma? No, he was also warning himself. When facing the shrew-like Feng Chunxiu, he remembered one person, and that was the mother of the transfer student.
If he could go back to the day when he was called to the office by the principal, Lin Ping would definitely say loudly to the principal: "I'm sorry, principal, I don't want this student! I don't have diamonds, I don't do porcelain work, do you bear it or I bear it if something happens?"
Even if he can't stop that transfer student from entering his class, he will no longer give in and compromise with that transfer student step by step like the late Qing Dynasty did with the great powers, and he will discipline and change him from the beginning.
"When you come here, you can be honest with me and be a student. If you don't want to, you go to the principal and transfer you away, don't stay in this class. ”
This was the first thing Lin Ping wanted to say to the transfer student at this time, but unfortunately he could only think about it.
Ma Zhongguo sighed: "But is it useful to be tough?"
Lin Ping replied calmly: "Whether it's useful or not depends on whether these two children can go back to school tomorrow." Even if it's useless to be tough, is it useful to be weak? Shouldn't we, as teachers, be tough when we protect the rights of our students?"
After listening to Lin Ping's words, Mr. Ma didn't say a word, just lit a dry cigarette and smoked it one by one.
The two came to the house of Wang Yige, the third dropout student, but unfortunately, Wang Yige followed his parents into the city to work, and only his grandparents were at home, so the two could only return in vain.
By the time the two of them returned to school, it was already dark. The students had already gone home from school according to what Mr. Ma told him at noon, except for one person.
Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo pushed their bicycles and led the donkey to the school gate, and found Liu Weiguo, a junior high school student, standing at the door.
"Didn't I tell you that if I came back late with Teacher Lin, you would go home from school by yourself. What are you still doing here?" asked Ma Zhongguo.
Liu Weiguo scratched his head and smiled: "You and Teacher Lin left in a hurry, I saw that the door of your house was not locked, I was afraid that the new books you brought and Teacher Lin's luggage would be lost, so I waited for you to come back." ”
Ma Zhongguo patted Liu Weiguo on the shoulder: "Good boy, it's already so late, go home quickly." ”
"Well, Mr. Ma and Mr. Lin, I'm leaving. Liu Weiguo waved his hand at the two teachers, and then turned to leave.
"Do you want me to send you home?" Lin Ping asked as he looked at Liu Weiguo's back as he gradually disappeared into the night.
"No, teacher, I know this place better than you, and if you send me to me, I'm afraid you're going to get lost!" Liu Weiguo's mocking voice came from the night in the distance.
"Let's go, let's go inside. ”
Ma Zhongguo led the donkey, and Lin Ping pushed the bicycle back to school.
The school is not only a place for Ma Zhongguo to teach, but also a place for Ma Zhongguo to live, rest and sleep, and survive.
And for a period of time in the future, this will also become the place where Lin Ping works and lives, and it will also become his home.
After a simple dinner, Lin Ping was not in a hurry to sleep, he opened his textbook under the dim and yellowing incandescent lamp and began to prepare for tomorrow's class. Although he taught few students, after all, he taught many courses, he needed to do nine courses in junior high school alone, and there were many students he taught before his death, but he only needed to teach one course, and his current task was more onerous than before.
Ma Zhongguo looked at Lin Ping, who was reading at night, and wanted to say something but didn't speak, he hesitated and just said, "Teacher Lin, go to bed early." ”
"Oh, good. ”
Lin Ping casually agreed, flipping through a junior high school textbook in his hand, he has not been exposed to this knowledge for many years, and now there is a sense of freshness when he reads it, Lin Ping will even be shocked when he sees some knowledge: Turtle Turtle, I actually learned this in junior high school before, why don't I remember it at all.
"When!
With the big wall clock struck twice, it means that the time has come to two o'clock in the morning, Ma Zhongguo here still uses this kind of big wall clock that can be kept rotating without batteries, this kind of watch 12-hour timing system, to what time to strike a few bells, to half a dozen o'clock will also ring.
Lin Ping was lying on the bed, the mosquito buzzing was so noisy that he couldn't sleep, he didn't feel anything when he was fascinated by the book just now, and now as soon as he lay down and planned to sleep, he found that this mosquito was really annoying.
The most annoying thing is that Lin Ping is in the light, they are in the dark, and Lin Ping can't help them.
The irritable Lin Ping sat up with a blanket wrapped in a blanket, and coincidentally, his gaze fell on the bright place where the moonlight was shining on the ground through the window, and then he saw a large centipede two inches long scurrying past.
I'm thorough!
Lin Ping got goosebumps.
At this time, Lin Ping suddenly remembered that there seemed to be something called [Points Mall] in the system, he opened it with his consciousness and looked at it, this points mall is really a good thing, he can buy almost everything that the law allows individuals to buy, and at the same time, 1 point is equivalent to a dollar, which can be withdrawn.
In addition, the points can also be used to build schools, hold activities, etc., which are essentially equivalent to Lin Ping's personal assets.
However, in addition to the relatively cheap selling of educational items, the other things in the points mall are sold at extremely high prices, for example, Lin Ping now wants to buy a plate of mosquito coils, which requires 80 points, that is, 80 yuan, and wants to buy centipede repellent realgar powder, which is about 100 points, which is more than ten times more expensive than the price on the market.
Books, stationery, new textbooks, and teaching materials are at a lot of discounts, and the meaning of the system is very clear: please use the points for the development of campus and education.
After hesitating again and again, Lin Ping still gave up the purchase of mosquito coils and realgar powder, and said to himself: "Alas, bear with it, save more points, and strive to buy a set of "Five-Year High School Entrance Examination Three-year Simulation" for each of these students in the class. ”
Listen to this is human words?
This kind of kindness is like the poor children here in the Kushan Mountains can bear it, and if they are ordinary city children, they can't hate Lin Ping.
Most children would rather have a dead man's pesticide skin than a set of extracurricular tutoring books that cost hundreds of dollars.
