Ma Feiyang asked, "I'm afraid it's not easy to build a house on this Dadun Island." Xu Shulin said with a smile: "It must not be easy, first of all, these building materials are first transported to the lake by car, and then transported to the island by boat, just transportation and loading and unloading is a lot of money." Xu Shulin said: "There are a total of twenty-eight students on this island, with an average of less than five people per grade, in the past two years, even I have been taught by two teachers, and the other teacher is from Dadun Island, and I will not teach this year, he will not teach, I can only teach alone, so you are here, I really want to thank you, hey, I know you will not stay here for long, but at least for the time being, the children have teachers again, and they are also formal teachers." ”

Ma Feiyang heard Xu Shulin say that he would not stay here for long, and thought gloomily: Yes, how long will I stay here, listening to Principal Xu's tone, it seems that I will leave after just a short stay here, in fact, even I don't know how long I will be here. Ma Feiyang paused for a moment and said, "How long has Principal Xu been here?"

Xu Shulin said with a smile: "Don't call me Principal Xu, I am not the principal and the principal of this school now, in fact, I am a substitute teacher, and the one who does not teach this year is also a substitute teacher." ”

Ma Feiyang's face was puzzled, and he thought: How could such a middle-aged man come to this place to substitute teach? Xu Shulin seemed to see Ma Feiyang's doubts, and said: "Originally, I was a substitute teacher in Qiaoji Central School, and I was a contract substitute teacher, but then there was really no one to teach in Dadun Primary School, and everyone didn't want to go, I thought that I couldn't let the children in Dadun not go to school, so I took the initiative to ask to come, and it has been eight years since I came. ”

Ma Feiyang saw this, and immediately showed a solemn expression, he looked at Xu Shulin and couldn't imagine what kind of person this was, he abandoned his family and business to come to the isolated island, and he taught for eight years, and he was still a substitute teacher, what kind of feelings and persistence was this.

Ma Feiyang asked: "How often does Principal Xu usually go home?" Xu Shulin smiled: "Didn't I say it, don't call me any principal, if you want to say that the principal should be the principal now, because you are the first official teacher of this Dadun Island Primary School so far." ”

Ma Feiyang said: "No, the principal of Da Dundao Primary School is the only one who deserves it. Xu Shulin smiled: "Hehe, you are polite, ah, I usually go home once a month, but this is not accurate, because the island depends on the weather, the weather is not good, you can't go out of the island, and there is no boat if you want to go out, for a while I only went out of the island once in three months, because I just got ready to go out of the island when it was windy or rainy, hey, I am not free on the island." ”

Thinking of the substitute teacher, Ma Feiyang asked Xu Shulin if he could meet Zhao Qianchao, who was studying in Qiao. Xu Shulin said: "Lao Zhao, of course you can." ”

Ma Feiyang said that the county may have to solve the problem of contract substitute teachers becoming regulars. Xu Shulin laughed when he heard it, and said: "Hey, I'm on this island, and I can't go to the county with them to find it, it's not easy for them, if this thing succeeds, I'm worthy of the name and enjoy it, I'm really sorry for them." ”

Ma Feiyang said: "Hey, isn't this a special case for you, no one can say anything." Xu Shulin sighed: "That's what I said, but some people say that I am trying to be clever on the island, and there is no risk at all if I don't go to the leaders together, they succeed in finding it, and I will also share the results, hey, after all, one more person is more strength." ”

Xu Shulin asked Ma Feiyang again: "Why did you think of coming to Dadun to teach?" Ma Feiyang laughed and said, "How could I want to come to Dadun to teach, but the leader arranged to come, can I not come?"

Xu Shulin frowned and said: "In the past, the leaders of the central school also arranged for some teachers to come to Dadun, but none of them could be arranged, some were looking for someone to intercede, and some simply made a big noise, and once Principal Wu wanted to transfer a teacher who was not very obedient, but the teacher went directly to his house to kill and cut down, and even his wife scolded him, and finally Principal Wu had to give up." ”

Ma Feiyang was surprised when he heard it, and couldn't help but sigh again and again, thinking: It doesn't matter if you can't find someone to intercede, and you can't play tricks, so that's all it can be. Xu Shulin looked at Ma Feiyang and thought to himself that the pony seemed to be an upright and kind person.

While the two were talking, a young girl came, she went to the door and looked inside, and asked stiffly, "May I ask who is Teacher Ma?" Ma Feiyang looked back and said, "I am." The girl said, "Oh, my dad asked me to invite you and Principal Xu over for dinner." ”

Ma Feiyang glanced at Xu Shulin, Xu Shulin smiled and said to the girl: "Okay, okay, let's go, you go first, we'll be there right away." The girl turned and went.

Xu Shulin said to Ma Feiyang: "Lao Ma is also a big fish farmer on this island, and he also burns a good fish, you will taste it later, it is definitely not ordinary." Ma Feiyang smiled: "Let's go eat and drink like this, is it good?"

Xu Shulin said: "It's nothing, there are so many people on this island, everyone is really kind, to put it mildly, they are especially good to me." Ma Feiyang said: "That means that your work in this place is recognized by them, so they respect you very much." ”

Xu Shulin said with a smile: "Hey, anyway, I don't have anything else to do on this island, just teach one thing, and there are not many children, so I don't get tired of teaching, and our exam results on Dadun Island have been good in recent years." ”

He glanced at Ma Feiyang and said, "Don't underestimate this Dadun Primary School, although there are not many people, there are talents, there is a child here who was admitted to the national key university last year, and I taught it." When he said this, there was a look of smugness on his face. Ma Feiyang was also amazed.

When the two came to Lao Ma's house, they saw that there were four dishes and a bottle of wine on the table, and Lao Ma smiled and beckoned them to sit down, and said, "The fish is still in the pot, don't worry, let's drink two glasses first." ”

At this time, another person came in, about the same age as the old horse, with a dark complexion, and the old horse introduced Ma Feiyang that this is also a big fish farmer surnamed Zhang in Dadun, and he heard that a new teacher came and came to have a look. He turned around and said, "Lao Zhang, this is Teacher Ma." ”

Boss Zhang and Ma Feiyang clasped their hands together, and Boss Zhang smiled: "I didn't expect that Mr. Ma is so young, hey, it's not easy to come to our Dadun Island, just by virtue of this, I have to toast you a few glasses tonight." He laughed again.

Ma Feiyang also smiled and said, "Boss Zhang is too polite. Ma Feiyang smiled bitterly in his heart: This boss still thinks that I came voluntarily.

At that moment, the four of them drank, Xu Shulin and they were all old acquaintances, not restrained at all, a few glasses, Ma Feiyang also completely let go, thinking: If you come, you will be safe, just for the enthusiasm and kindness of the people of Dadun Island, I will also go all out to teach the children well.

Before this, Ma Feiyang did have the idea of not wanting to do it, he hated Feng Chuangxin and Zhu leaving Xinjiang, so he became disheartened and thought about not doing it, fuck it. But when he came to Dadun Island and saw Xu Shulin, he knew what a noble person he was, although he did not look poor and poor, but he supported the education of Dadun Island with his own strength, which is the first-class person. How can you not be spiritually called with such a person?

The fish was finally served, and they all asked Mr. Ma to taste it first. Ma Feiyang saw that the fish was in a basin, full of steaming, a spicy smell mixed with the umami of the fish came to his nose, and suddenly his mouth was full of relish, and he reached out and put a chopstick into his mouth, and it was really delicious, especially the fish meat was extremely strong, and he knew that this was the famous snail fish. I heard that this snail fish eats snails, so it has a long body, a black back, and compact flesh.

Ma Feiyang was full of praise, saying that not only the fish is good and the craftsmanship is better, but the old horse laughed when he heard it. Xu Shulin said: "The reason why I have been able to teach here for so many years, to be honest, is because of the nostalgia for the old horse's spiritual lake fish." ”

When Lao Ma heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Ouch, ouch, the principal is polite, if you say this, I can go to heaven." Boss Zhang also said: "Lao Ma's craftsmanship is indeed in place, so many restaurants, I have never seen a fish that can be burned like this." Hey, to be honest, today I came to see if Mr. Ma was fake, and it was true that I came to eat the fish. He smiled at Ma Feiyang again: "Teacher Ma, don't be angry." ”

Ma Feiyang said with a smile: "Boss Ma's craftsmanship can completely open a restaurant, and the business must be booming." ”

Boss Zhang hurriedly stopped and said: "Well, no, no, Mr. Ma, you don't know, as soon as he goes out to open a restaurant, he can't do it, this fish can only be burned in this lake, and the lake fish can only be burned with lake water, and the water quality of the lake on the shore and the lake in the center of the lake is also very different, so you can't burn this smell when you go out." Ma Feiyang listened to what Boss Zhang said, looked at Xu Shulin, Xu Shulin nodded, and said, "What Boss Zhang said is right, it is true." ”

In this way, Ma Feiyang has a sense of blessing in disguise, thinking that things in the world are often like this, smooth and often lurking in crisis, but ups and downs can encounter wonders. Experience is wealth, and life is therefore full, isn't that what Su Dongpo is? If the great Mr. Su Dongpo does not have a bumpy life and an attitude of attainment, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to have a masterpiece and an immortal name. Although I can't do knowledge and articles, I can still learn from the open-mindedness of my predecessors. So I drank more happily.
