Some of the students in the audience could understand what Mr. Lei meant, and some didn't understand it at all, but just passively accepted the gift brought by fate to themselves.

Mr. Lei is a teacher from the city, he came to this backward village three years ago, and has always wanted to use his own strength to change the fate of rural children here. He often tells his students interesting stories about the city, because he wants to make them realize the excitement of the outside world and the fact that life can be so colorful. In addition to digging in the land and working on the construction site, there are many other ways to live.

When people have a vision for the future, it will be less difficult to work hard. With the direction of effort, life will not always be confused and unable to find the direction.

However, there are some problems with this, if children find that no matter how hard they try, they still have a threshold that they can't cross, and they can't get the life they want no matter what, will such a life be more painful than knowing nothing?

At the same time, even in urban areas, there are children who struggle to figure out how to live, and the proportion of children in rural areas is only higher.

Teacher Lei gave a few words, and then continued to teach the students, no matter how much he hated iron, but he would still teach the students with his heart.

Learning is boring, compared to the outside world of flowers and flowers does not seem to be very interesting, it is indeed not easy to suppress their hearts, many people can't do it, but because of the usual fighting characteristics of Asians, it is difficult to live decently if you are not better than others.

The weakness of the human heart is afraid of difficulties, afraid of suppressing oneself, and venting is always more refreshing than suppressing. But the valuable things in this world are not necessarily what people like, and the valuable things are not always the things that make people happy, most of these will also make people degenerate, but the things that make people miserable will make people grow.

Pu Tongren knew that his qualifications were average, and even if he studied hard, he couldn't get much good results, and he didn't think that there would be any blockbusters, just following the crowd.

After a few classes, when it was time to get out of school, Zhou Darong took Pu Tongren to the school's commissary as promised, and the owner of the commissary was very enthusiastic, and Zhou Darong took two packs of spicy noodles to Pu Tongren.

Pu Tongren took the spicy strip, raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of a row of novel books next to him, Pu Tongren picked up one and said to the boss: "Borrow one of these books to see how much it costs." ”

The boss said to several people: "Renting a book is one dollar a day, but you have to pay a deposit of ten yuan first, and then refund the deposit when you return the book." ”

"Okay, you settle the bill. Pu Tongren picked up a book and said to Zhou Darong.

He looked very happy, and Zhou Darong was a little unhappy, gave the money to the boss, and followed Pu Tongren out of the commissary one after the other.

Pu Tongren gave a pack of spicy noodles to Zhou Darong, Zhou Darong immediately smiled, and said to Pu Tongren: "We will be brothers in the future, we will be blessed and share hardships, and if I have a brother, I will eat a mouthful, and you will never be indispensable." ”

"Have you ever thought that you are the younger brother, I am actually a year older than you. Pu Tongren said to Zhou Darong seriously.

Zhou Darong said in disbelief: "How old are you this year, and it stands to reason that you are 15 years old at the same level as me." ”

"I forgot to tell you, I left two levels in kindergarten. Pu Tongren said to Zhou Darong.

Zhou Darong said suspiciously: "Why do you want to stay two levels?"

"Because I was sick at the time, I took a two-year break from school. Pu Tongren said quickly. In fact, because of his father's bad deeds, the teacher didn't want to accept him, so he had to grind for two more years before entering kindergarten.

Zhou Darong was a little regretful, why didn't he repeat the grade at that time, otherwise he could be the eldest brother now, he thought that he could only be Pu Tongren's younger brother, and he felt very bad.

Mr. Lei wants to teach the students as well as possible, but many people don't believe that learning is meaningful. I don't know why it's so hard, and I yearn for an easier life.

Mr. Lei spot-checked the homework and found that many students did not do their homework, he looked angry, and was very dissatisfied with the few students who did not do their homework, he said angrily: "You can only leave here and stay away from the hard life of your father's working hard only if you study hard." ”

"Don't tell me that studying hard can change your fate, and the person who can change your fate is not because his father is good? Don't tell me that being admitted to a good university is a stepping stone, and the consumption in big cities is so high, it's strange that I can stay.

Don't tell me that as long as I work hard, I will get ahead, and those children who have good births can't beat me every minute? And you teachers and parents who educate me, you are talking about the truth, and now it's not good to mix?

You haven't set an example yourself, what are you going to do to educate me? How did you educate me?" Then Han Feng didn't do his homework, he didn't feel that he was wrong, but said with a stiff neck.

Hearing what Han Feng said, Teacher Lei was very angry, he wanted to reprimand Han Feng a few words, but he didn't know what to say.

He wanted to tell him that success was more than worldly status, but he thought of the depression of being called by the principal, and it would be self-deception to say that he was living a good life.

These children have very few things, and it is difficult to even understand what it means to be successful.

Life is originally a long-distance race, those who start at the beginning can naturally run slowly, those who start from the back, no matter what method is used, that is enough to run faster than others, then they can get more than others, and those losers can only become others as stepping stones.

All roads lead to Rome, but some people are close to Rome, some people are far away from Rome, and those with a low starting point can only pay more to make up for this gap.

But those who can't catch up feel hopeless, and their choice is to stop and give up the chase and passively wait for the judgment of fate.

"Those who are successful, of course, can feel that it is their own hard work and excellence that they have such good conditions and achieve such good results, which is fine, at most it is a kind of narcissism. It would be too arbitrary to turn to ridicule rural students for not getting into university because they don't work hard and have low IQs.

After all, life is like this, and it will not be more pitiful because of who is more eager to come. It will not be more partial, depending on which life is more worthy of saving. ”

When Mr. Lei said this, he paused again. Then he continued: "Life is the same, real and cruel. Everyone must face the reality, even if they know that life will not be more loved because of who fights harder, the ending can only be one step at a time, but at least you can be calm in your heart. ”

Students don't know whether they understand or not, some are powerless to change even if they do, and some don't understand and just follow the crowd.

Pu Tongren is just an ordinary person, he is the one who doesn't understand, he doesn't know what will happen after working hard, working hard to get into high school, then trying to be admitted to university, and then finding a good job, this is too difficult for him, and too far away.

Pu Tongren does not have so many ideals, nor does he have the ambition to become a master, all he can see in front of him is the snacks given by Zhou Darong and the meals cooked by his mother when he returns home.

If you can keep having these, even if you die, you will be willing. Pu Tongren thought to himself.

But fate always tears open the wounds of those who have suffered so much, and then pours salt on them. Even if you can't bear the pain, there will be no pity.

When Pu Tongren returned home, he found that his mother had not returned, and it was about ten miles from home to the factory in the town, and it took her half an hour to get home by electric car. Pu Tongren took out the rice left over from yesterday and warmed it up, with soy sauce and water soaked rice, the locals call it fairy soup, and it can be eaten when there are no vegetables, which is a method that only poor families use.
