Chapter 82: Completion Ceremony
The next day, Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo pulled the packed things down the mountain in a donkey cart and three wheels to the new school.
Ma Zhongguo stood at the door of the new school and sighed, staring blankly at the brand-new teaching building and unwilling to look away.
"Okay, Mr. Ma, you see that you are looking at the new daughter-in-law. Lin Ping teased.
Ma Zhongguo shook his head: "No, it's more beautiful than a new daughter-in-law." ”
Built by special subsidies from the central government, fund-raising by the local government and donations from social welfare organizations, the Hope School has built two four-storey buildings, one for teaching and one for dormitories, and in addition to the two buildings, there is a simple playground, and there is a row of bungalows on the east and west sides of the playground, one row is the kitchen, and the other row is the toilet. Because of the construction conditions, such schools generally do not have toilets in teaching buildings and dormitory buildings, but uniformly set up a large toilet.
At the same time, this school will cover the poor children in the entire Kushan and the surrounding poor areas, such as the mountain village schools where Lin Ping was previously located in the Kushan area, and these schools will become completely historical in the future, and all the surrounding similar mountain villages and slightly larger old schools will be relocated to this hope school in front of him.
The establishment of this school will basically solve the problems of poor children in the Kushan area, such as difficulty in going to school and poor educational environment.
Another day passed, and it was the day of the completion ceremony that Wang Hongwen told Lin Ping about the day before yesterday.
Early in the morning, some staff came to the school early to decorate, the jubilant red flowers hung at the school gate and on both sides, the firecrackers were also hung in place, and the media reporters were patting around.
According to the process, Lin Ping and the children arrived at the school first to prepare for Wang Hongwen and them.
As soon as Lin Ping came to the school, he saw an old acquaintance at the door.
"Hey!" Li Yufei saw Lin Ping and the children from a distance, and then happily waved his hands and ran over.
"Hey, why are you here?" said Lin Ping with a smile.
"Yes, this matter is so important, and the city government also attaches great importance to it, okay? Of course, our Lin Xi Daily will conduct an interview and report. Li Yufei said with a smile.
"Hello sister!"
"Hello sister!"
Liu Qingmei and the others happily greeted Li Yufei.
Li Yufei touched their heads: "Hey, hello!"
Then, Li Yufei said: "You are Liu Qingmei, I heard that you did very well in your county in this high school entrance examination?"
Liu Qingmei nodded obediently: "Hmm." ”
Then he said: "It's our teacher Lin who taught it well. ”
Liu Xiangqian also leaned forward and said, "Sister reporter, I! I also did well in the exam!"
Li Yufei looked at Liu Xiangqian and said with a smile: "Then you must be Liu Xiangqian." ”
"Yes, yes, I'm Liu Xiangqian!" Liu Xiangqian said excitedly and happily.
"I went to the county hotel last night, and the education bureau staff who received me told me. Li Yufei looked at Lin Ping and praised, "You are awesome, we can teach such a good student in this environment!"
Lin Ping shook his head and said with a smile: "The teacher is just a guide, the key is to rely on themselves, I only played a small role." ”
Li Yufei pursed his lips: "You are a little hypocritical with modesty." ”
Liu Qingmei muttered on the side: "That is, how could we be where we are today without Teacher Lin, Teacher Lin has the greatest role." ”
Liu Xiangqian also said: "That's it, Teacher Lin is the best teacher in the world." ”
Several other children also chattered to express their love and respect for Lin Ping, and Li Yufei listened to their words and said with a smile: "See? Children don't lie!"
Lin Ping smiled and did not speak.
Li Yufei greeted the camera reporter, and then said to Lin Ping: "Come, now, let me interview you, great Teacher Lin!"
"Okay, what do you want to ask?" Lin Ping said with a smile.
"Teacher Lin, what has moved you the most in the past year of teaching?" Li Yufei put the microphone to Lin Ping's mouth.
Without hesitation, Lin Ping took a child in one hand and hugged him left and right and said with a smile: "Do you need to talk about it? Of course it's this group of children." ”
"Is there anything particularly touching you?" Li Yufei asked again.
"Of course," Lin Ping wanted to tell the story of "a bowl of rabbit meat", but after looking at Liu Qingmei and the other children, it seemed inappropriate to tell it now, so he paused and said, "Every day is moving." ”
"Tell me something specific!" Li Yufei asked curiously.
"Hmm......" Lin Ping said mysteriously, "I'll tell you quietly later!"
Li Yufei was amused by Lin Ping: "Haha, what's still so mysterious, okay, I'll wait for you to tell me quietly and see what kind of story you can tell me." ”
As soon as Lin Ping said this, the students were not happy, and they all wanted Lin Ping to speak out now.
Li Yufei hurriedly helped Lin Ping relieve the siege: "Then let me ask you the next question, what is the mood of moving from the dilapidated original school to this new school now?"
Before Lin Ping could answer, the children around him happily said words such as "good" and "happy", only Liu Xiangqian said unhappily, "I'm not happy, we're going to high school and leaving, and we ended up building such a good school."
At this time, Lin Ping saw Teacher Ma Zhongguo, and beckoned: "Teacher Ma, come here!"
Lin Ping turned around and said to Li Yufei: "You should ask Teacher Ma this question, he has more right to speak." ”
Ma Zhongguo heard Lin Ping shouting that he hurriedly limped over and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The reporter wants to interview you. Lin Ping said with a smile.
Ma Zhongguo hurriedly straightened his clothes and retreated: "What are you doing interviewing me? I'm a bad old man, interviewing you, you are the face of this school......"
"Teacher Ma, be interviewed, you are the representative of countless rural teachers in China. Lin Ping said.
Ma Zhongguo was stunned for a moment, then patted his clothes and said, "Okay." ”
Li Yufei looked at Lin Ping and then at Ma Zhongguo and asked with a smile: "Teacher Ma, interview you about how you feel about moving from the dilapidated old school to this new school?"
"Good, good, good!"
Ma Zhongguo said three good words in a row, and seemed to be a little excited and incoherent.
Li Yufei whispered: "Teacher Ma, you say something else, don't be so simple. ”
Ma Zhongguo thought for a while and said: "Then use what Mr. Lin said, the willow was planted for three thousand miles, and finally led the spring breeze to the bitter mountain. ”
Saying that, Ma Zhongguo cried with joy and left tears undisguised in front of the camera.
During the interview, teachers from other mountain village schools also came with children one after another, and Lin Ping took the opportunity to glance at them, these people would be his teachers and students in the future.
Not long after, Wang Hongwen came with the staff of the Linxi City Education Bureau and the mayor of the town, and everyone hurried to warm welcome.
Then there is a series of cumbersome surface image projects such as the speech of the staff of the Municipal Education Bureau, the speech of Wang Hongwen, the speech of the mayor and the speech of Lin Ping.
Finally, Wang Hongwen said: "Okay, on behalf of the Xibei County Government and the Xibei County Education Bureau, I announce the official establishment of Kushan Hope School!"
At this time, the mayor said: "Everyone has a life or something, and it's not good for our school to be called Hope School, let's give it a name." ”
"Okay. Everyone agreed.
Wang Hongwen glanced at Lin Ping: "Teacher Lin, you are a volunteer college student and the first principal of this school, so you will name it." ”
Lin Ping said without any prevarication: "Let's call it Zhongguo Hope School." ”
"China Hope School?" Wang Hongwen asked suspiciously.
"It's loyal loyalty, and it's also the name of teacher Ma Zhongguo. Lin Ping said.
Ma Zhongguo hurriedly shook his head when he heard this: "No, no, no, how can I be virtuous, how can I name this school after me?"
Lin Ping said: "Teacher Ma Zhongguo has been teaching in Kushan for 27 years, he is the epitome of China's great rural teachers, spreading hope in countless poor and backward areas, what is more meaningful than naming this hope school with 'Zhongguo'?"
Wang Hongwen nodded and said: "Yes, loyal to the country, loyal to the party and patriotic, what more should be the name of this hope school than the great spirit of Teacher Ma Zhongguo?"
[System: Hope School was officially named "Chungkook Hope School."] 】
