Chapter 5 Speechless
The stamina of high alcohol is so strong that Lin Ping just lay down for half an hour before he recovered, and was ridiculed by Ma Zhongguo for a long time: "You are useless as a college student, and you poured it after just a cup of wine?"
Ma Zhongguo laughed as he took out half a jar of tea from the cabinet, pinched a pinch of tea leaves and poured it for Lin Ping, Lin Ping drank three bowls in a row, and his head was no longer dizzy.
"Let's go, Mr. Ma, you lead the way, let's go to the three dropouts' homes. Lin Ping thought about the three students who had dropped out of school, got up from the bed and staggered slightly to the outside of the house.
"You can't do it, if you can't do it, you'll sleep, anyway, it's not in a hurry. Ma Zhongguo came out and shouted.
"Man, you can't say that you can't do it!" Lin Ping seemed to be talking nonsense, "At this point, they are still at home after lunch, otherwise it will be difficult to find farm work in the afternoon." ”
"That's right. Ma Zhongguo untied the donkey's reins, "Come, get on the cart." ”
"No," Lin Ping shook his head resolutely, "I'm young and strong, and I still need a donkey to pull me?"
Seeing Lin Ping's decisiveness, Ma Zhongguo no longer invited him to get on the donkey cart, but just babbled in pieces: "This road is not close, the nearest village must be five miles away, and the farthest one must be ten miles away......
"By the way," Ma Zhongguo suddenly remembered something, looked up at Lin Ping and said, "Do you know how to ride a bicycle?"
"Bicycles, yes, there's a bicycle, it's okay, I can ride a bicycle. Lin Ping agreed.
"Okay, you wait. ”
Ma Zhongguo opened the door of a room, which was originally also a classroom, but because of the shortage of students, this classroom was used by Ma Zhongguo as a warehouse for miscellaneous items.
Ma Zhongguo pushed a dusty "28 bar" bicycle out of the room, then wiped the body with a cloth, then took out a pump to inflate the wheels, and then got some soybean oil and smeared it on the chain of the bicycle.
Ma Zhongguo turned the pedals and handed it to Lin Ping after making sure that the bicycle was still usable.
Lin Ping took the handlebar of the bicycle and pedaled it twice, it was not bad, although it was rusty in some places, the body of the car had traces of collision and twisting, and it made a "creaking" sound when pedaling, but at least it could still be ridden.
Lin Ping propped up the ground with his feet and said: "Sure enough, the twenty-eight bars are old and strong, Mr. Ma, your car must have some historical years." ”
"Let's go, let's talk as we go. After Ma Zhongguo arranged the tasks for the students, he took Lin Ping to the home of the dropout student.
The sun is shining, the autumn tiger is particularly hot, two people, an old and a young, a donkey and a cart, are moving forward on the road in the mountains.
Ma Zhongguo looked at Lin Ping, who was riding, with a smile on his face, but said in a sad voice: "This car, I haven't ridden it for ten years, and I haven't ridden it since I got this leg like this." ”
Lin Ping paused, and then asked, "Teacher Ma, it's convenient to ask about your leg ......?"
Ma Zhongguo said indifferently: "I used to ride a bicycle and walk at night, the road in the mountains was not good, my eyes were not smart, and I accidentally fell off the stones, but ah, God doesn't accept me, my life is big, maybe the children in this bitter mountain still need me to teach them to know two words, don't accept me, but this leg is not good." ”
"Look at the road, be careful. Ma Zhongguo raised his donkey whip and pointed at Lin Ping and said.
"Oooh. Lin Ping clenched the handlebars, he looked down, and it turned out that the traces of collision and deformation on the car were caused by the accident.
"It's the one in front of you. ”
The two soon came to the home of Liu Xiangqian, the first dropout student.
The door of Liu's house was hidden, and Lin Ping knocked on the door: "Is there anyone? Is anyone at home?"
"Hey, people in the mountains don't have so much to do, since the door is not locked, it means that someone is at home, just go in. Ma Zhongguo said.
"It's not good. Lin Ping couldn't understand this simple approach.
"It's okay, it's okay. Ma Zhongguo said as he stepped forward and pushed open the door and walked in, Lin Ping scratched his head and had no choice but to follow in.
"Liu Zhuang!Liu Zhuang!Forward!Forward!" Ma Zhongguo shouted Liu Xiangqian's father's name, and then called Liu Xiangqian.
The door creaked open, and a shirtless and barefoot child in big pants stood up, and saw the two frowning: "Teacher Ma, why are you here again?"
Ma Zhongguo smiled kindly: "That's the case, kid, this is a new teacher from our school, a college student in the city......"
Lin Ping's eyes lit up when he saw this Liu Xiangqian, because the attribute table showed that this child's learning talent turned out to be B, and the seven children in the school now have learning talents of C and D, and Lin Ping was surprised when he met the child B for the first time. It's a pity that this child's current level of effort is F, which is the worst level, the kind that doesn't want to learn at all.
"Don't worry about my, I said that I won't go to school anymore, don't bother my family, okay?" Liu Xiangqian said with an unhappy face.
"Look at you, child, how can you talk to the teacher?" At this time, a woman came out of the house, and it seemed that this was Liu Xiangqian's mother, "It's Teacher Ma, come in and sit, come in and sit." ”
Ma Zhongguo pulled Lin Ping into the house and sat down, the house was quite clean, and his house was also the better one in the village along the way, and it seemed that the economic level was slightly better.
"Quick, forward, go pour water for the two teachers. Liu's mother instructed her son.
"Let them pour themselves, and I'll feed the pigs. Liu Xiangqian threw the door out, and then heard the sound of stirring pig food.
Mother Liu smiled awkwardly, and then poured water for the two of them herself.
"No, no, we'll do it ourselves. Lin Ping took the kettle and poured himself water.
"Teacher Ma, what is this?" Mother Liu asked with a puzzled look as she looked at the white Lin Ping.
"The new principal of our school, Mr. Lin, a college student, was sent from above. Teacher Ma introduced Lin Ping in a slightly proud tone.
Mother Liu looked at Lin Ping: "Oh, amazing, college student?"
When Lin Ping heard Liu's mother's praise, a snickering joy rose in his heart, and he hurriedly took a glass of water to suppress his facial expression.
"Why don't good college students stay in the city, why are they running here? Isn't this a good horse as a donkey, just a blind toss?"
Liu's mother's next words made Lin Ping, who was drinking water, almost choke to death.
Ma Zhongguo smiled awkwardly: "This is the national poverty alleviation policy, education poverty alleviation. ”
"I don't understand what poverty alleviation is or not, I also know what you are doing, you just want my family to go back to school. Mother Liu said.
"Yes, yes, we hope that Liu Xiangqian can go back to school and continue his studies. Lin Ping said in a gentle tone.
"I know, I know that you are also for the good of Qianqian, and my father and I also hope that he can continue to go to school, but this kid is tough, don't listen, Teacher Ma has also come several times, and this child who came forward is about to become enemies with Teacher Ma. Mother Liu sighed and said, "Anyway, his father and I support him to go to school, but you have to convince my baby, my father and I are useless." ”
There was silence in the room for a while, Lin Ping stood up and said, "What, the child is feeding the pigs, I'll go talk to him." ”
Ma Zhongguo also stood up, and Lin Ping motioned for him to stay in the house: "It's okay, Mr. Ma, you stay here, I'll talk to him alone." ”
"Okay," Ma Zhongguo said, "this kid has a quick temper, don't be in a hurry." ”
"Okay, I'm measured. ”
Lin Ping came to the pigsty, and Liu Xiangqian was laboriously pouring pig food into the pig trough.
"Come, I'll help you. Lin Ping stepped forward and helped Liu Xiangqian pour the pig food into the pig trough.
"Your pigs are so good, fat and fat, they make people happy to look at. Lin Ping looked at the pig humming and eating, and praised.
Liu Xiangqian heard Lin Ping praise his pig's face with a happy expression, and then said, "You are a college student?"
Lin Ping nodded: "Hmm." ”
"Why did you go to college and come here again?" The children of poor families have long been in charge, and Liu Xiangqian is young and old when he speaks.
"Come and teach. Lin Ping said with a smile.
"If you come here to teach after college, it doesn't make a difference if you don't go to college. Liu Xiangqian pouted.
Lin Ping was speechless, how should he say it? Is it to talk about the great truth, to talk about poverty alleviation through education, to get rich through science, or to look forward to the future and show his talents?
But it seems that none of this makes sense to this child.
Sure enough, these 1000 points are not so easy to earn.
"Actually, I don't think there's much difference between going to school and raising pigs. Liu Xiangqian continued, "You see that raising pigs is to feed pigs with pig feed, and going to school is your teachers feeding us textbook knowledge. ”
Lin listened to him calmly, although this analogy was blunt, but it sounded so reasonable.
"But I've been feeding the pigs for six months, and I can see them grow day by day, see them grow from little to big, and then when the pig collector comes, I sell them for a thousand dollars. What about going to school? What's the use? I went to school for seven years, and I didn't have any money or gain weight. ”
"Knowledge is wealth, you have to know that after continuing to go to school, you can exchange the knowledge you have learned for wealth, and the money you earn is far more than the money you get from raising pigs. Lin Ping said.
"Then do you have money? Have you exchanged what you have learned for wealth? You are all college students, don't you still come here? You teach with Teacher Ma, I raise pigs, and the money you and Teacher Ma earn from teaching is not as much as the money I make from raising pigs. ”
It's really sharp, Liu Xiangqian taught Lin Ping a lesson with the simple thinking of a mountain child, and Lin Ping didn't know how to answer for a while.
