11. Chapter 11
"Principal Li, I'll try my best to ......"
Anna is a "literary and artistic worker" in the whole school, and she has to take this job, and she has to take it if she doesn't. But Anna didn't dare to say too much.
"Hey!" Principal Li was a little dissatisfied with her statement, "Young people need to be modest, but being too modest means not wanting to make progress! The times are advancing, and the future belongs to you young people! Take the materials and look at them, go back and think about how to put out a show and put it into rehearsal! At present, this is the most important thing in your work, and everything else can be put aside for the time being. What support do you need, just come to me!"
"Okay, okay. Thank you to the school leaders for trusting me. I will work hard to live up to the expectations of my leaders. β
Principal Li finally showed a satisfied look this time.
Anna received a notice from the county "About Welcoming New Year's Day, Tree New Wind Literary and Art Performance Competition", and went out under the eager eyes of Principal Li.
β¦β¦
For the next week, Anna was busy. It took a few days to finally design a program to report to Principal Li. It can be seen that Principal Li is quite satisfied, but he still gave some guidance, and Anna made a slight adjustment according to Principal Li's "guidance", and the next day she passed through guΓ² and began to select students to participate in the performance. I picked someone and prepared for a rehearsal, but something went wrong. It is said that the only TV station in the county will come to record the video when the time comes, and there are two leaders in the town who want to be on it. Principal Li asked Anna to arrange it and see if she could stuff it in.
Since the leader spoke, Anna went to see the two children, and she really felt that it was not suitable to participate in the performance on stage, so she discussed with Principal Li, hoping to push off this favor. Principal Li was also quite embarrassed.
"Teacher Li, I also know that you have difficulties in arranging, but the parents of those two students specially came to me...... You have to think of a way, as long as you can show your face on stage. β
Anna was quite depressed and thought for a while, "Or do you want them to put on the background, put a cardboard paste tree on their bodies, and dig a hole in the place of their faces?"
"Hey, this is a good method! That's it!" Principal Li was happy and nodded immediately.
Anna couldn't help but laugh and nodded in agreement.
β¦β¦
In addition to the intense rehearsals, Anna also kept in mind the student named Xu Bing.
That friend of hers was a foreigner. Because of her own experience, she was very enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings related to children's dyslexia correction, and under his influence, Anna also participated in a three-month summer camp dedicated to dyslexia correction, and she had some experience in specific correction.
Although the specific correction methods of the English Department and the Chinese Department are different, the principles are still similar. At an age like Xu Bing, although he has passed the golden period of correction, as long as he is properly guided, he is still very hopeful that there will be considerable improvement. If you delay it any longer, I am afraid that you will not be able to correct it again in your life. Therefore, after the rehearsal of the show was on the right track, Anna asked Xu Bing to come to school early at noon every day, and she took care of Principal Li to borrow the key to a small storage room where the books were kept, and accompanied him in targeted training.
Half a month later, Xu Bing finally gradually saw progress. Before, he had never been able to read a paragraph correctly and completely, either skipping words, missing words, or recognizing mistakes. But now, he can tell the difference between the letters C and D, and he can slowly read the sentences that Anna has taught.
Xu Bing's progress made Anna very happy. She redesigned the content with the intention of doing new training. In music class that day, I found that Xu Bing was not there.
At first, she didn't care, thinking that he had something to ask for. But for the next two days, he didn't come to find him, Anna felt strange and asked his homeroom teacher, Wang Saiying, only to learn that Xu Bing had dropped out of school. It was his father who came to school to do the formalities.
Anna was surprised and uneasy.
She never flaunts how much she is loving, but since she is a teacher, students are a responsibility. She had already seen the changes in Xu Bing, and the child had been very excited about her progress lately, and was very much looking forward to her correction class. It would be a pity if we gave up halfway like this.
Anna decided to go to Xu Bing's house to have a look.
Teacher Wang Saiying felt strange, but Anna asked, so she told her the address of Xu Bing's house, saying: "His father's name is Xu Youcai, he is from Ganyuan Village, and his family raises cows, which is some way from us." Xu Bing has an aunt who lives in Hongshijing, and he usually lives here when he goes to school, so he should go back to Ganyuan Village at this time. β
β¦β¦
On Saturday afternoon, Anna informed the students that the rehearsal time would be changed to the next day, and she went home to tell Aunt Li Mei where she was going, and went out to take a ride to Ganyuan Village.
Ganyuan Village is about twenty or thirty kilometers away from Hongshijing Town, and there are no cars, so you have to take the kind of manned tractor back and forth.
At the station, Anna got on a tractor passing by Ganyuan Village, and after an hour of jolting in the deafening noise of the tractor, she finally stood at the intersection of Ganyuan Village.
It seems that many people in this village have dairy cows. Anna inquired all the way and found Xu Bing's home. When he found it, Xu Bing was shoveling grass in the bullpen, and when he saw Anna suddenly appear, he showed surprise and dropped the shovel and ran over quickly.
"Teacher Li, why are you here?" he wiped the hay off his hand and looked at Anna sheepishly.
"I heard you dropped out of school? Anna laughed.
While the two were talking, Xu Bing's parents in the house heard the movement and walked out one after the other. Knowing Anna's intention, Xu Bing's mother said, "Teacher Li, I am really grateful for your kindness to the child. I also wanted my child to continue to go to school, but his father didn't agree and insisted on calling him back! I quarreled with him I don't know how many times!"
"What's the matter!" Xu Bing's father said in a rough voice, "If you don't read the book, you won't read it, and you can go home and help me raise cattle!"
"Old Xu!" Xu Bing's mother turned red, turned around and quickly entered the house, took out a model of a steamship and handed it to Anna, "Teacher, look, this is what my son did." People say my son has a brain problem. It's just that you see, he made something himself!"
This is a model of a warship made of countless large and small pieces of wood. Anna didn't know where Xu Bing had seen the warship, but the two-story model of the warship was vivid, every piece of wood was finely polished with sandpaper, the workmanship was fine, many wedge details were also perfect, and the propeller could even rotate freely.
Anna was a little shocked, looked at Xu Bing and asked, "How did you do this?"
Xu Bing touched his head a little shyly, "I saw a warship on someone else's TV once......"
"Okay! What's the use of doing this!" Xu Bing's father said angrily, "Xu Bing won't go to school to be bullied in the future!"
Anna carefully returned the model of the warship to Xu Bing and said, "Xu Bing's father, I know your feelings......
"You don't know at all!" Xu Bing's father suddenly roared, "It's you teachers, you look down on my son, forget it, and pull my son to stand outside the classroom for three days, and once he came home with a black leg, I forced him, and he said that he was kicked by the teacher with leather shoes, just because he couldn't write! My son has good hands and feet, why should he be bullied like this at school? I understand your kindness! You leave quickly!"
Anna looked at Xu Bing and asked, "Xu Bing, you tell Teacher SΓΉ, do you want to continue your studies, be admitted to university, and go to the outside world in the future to see what is different between outside and here?"
In order to motivate him in a previous correction class, Anna described to him the majesty of the Great Wall, the grandeur of the African wildebeest migration, and the plans for the International Space Station, which are now in their infancy. When he heard this, Xu Bing's eyes showed unprecedented excitement and excitement.
Xu Bing glanced at his father and snorted, "...... Want to ......"
"You heard that," Anna said to Xu Bing's father, "he wants to continue his school himself, you can't just stop his studies!"
Xu Bing's father said angrily: "Hey, I said what's the matter with you, my own son's business ......"
"He's your son, but he's also my student! Your son's intelligence is not inferior to others, or even smarter than others. He just suffers from a less common form of dyslexia. I know you can't tolerate him being despised in school to drop him out. But Xu Bing's father, I have already started to give Xu Bing a correction class, and I have already seen progress. It would be a pity if it ended like this. Please let him go back, give me some more time, and I'll help him get through slowly. You want your son to have a good future in the future, don't you?"
"Xu Bing's father!" Xu Bing's mother pushed her husband hard, "Teacher Li and an outsider care so much about children, are you worthy of the child when you are a father?" I will send my son back to school next week, and ask me to kneel down and beg, and I will also beg the principal to give him another chance!"
Xu Bing's father still had a very ugly face, and opened his mouth, but finally stopped talking.
"As long as you agree," Anna smiled, "let him come back on Monday." I'll just go talk to Principal Li. I can also have a relationship with my child's homeroom teacher. She'll agree. β
Xu Bing's father stopped talking, turned his head and walked away.
Seeing that her goal had been accomplished, Anna took her leave and went back. Xu Bing's mother was very grateful to Anna, hurriedly brought a pot of milk filled in a white plastic pot, and said crampedly: "Teacher Li, thanks to your kindness, you deliberately traveled so far to help our children, and there is nothing at home, only fresh milk that has just been squeezed out." Very clean. You take it back and boil it and you can drink it. β
Anna excused, and Xu Bing's mother said: "It's okay, I'm afraid that you didn't fill a big pot on the road." Next time, I'll personally send you more, I can't finish drinking it myself, and I can divide it with neighbors. β
"How can this be done? "Anna still doesn't take it.
Xu Bing's mother handed the milk to Xu Bing and sighed, "Don't mention it." Last year, some people in our village raised dairy cows, and the county milk station came to collect them, and the family built a tiled house, so we all raised them. At this point, no one wants a lot of milk, and if you don't take it, it will be poured out in vain after two days. We thought about selling the cows, and no one wanted them at this point. Just take it, worthless thing!"
When Anna saw her say this, she had to thank her and accept it.
Xu Bing's mother and Xu Bing sent Anna to the village entrance to wait for the tractor to go back. Anna repeatedly told them to go back first, and they didn't have to wait with her, and the two finally turned around and went back.
β¦β¦
The sun begins to set in the west. The air is getting colder.
Anna put the jug of fresh milk at her feet and waited for the tractor. After a while, a tractor passed by, and it never came back. I was a little anxious when I suddenly saw a small car driving in the distance. As I got closer, I recognized it as the jeep from the police station. It seems that the driver is Lu Zhongjun.
Anna hesitated, and before she could decide whether to wave to stop the car, the car had already whisked past her. Through the window glass, Lu Zhongjun's silhouette also flashed.
Anna sighed in annoyance as she looked at the butt of the car that was far away from her. At this time, the car suddenly stopped again and quickly turned around. Then, Anna saw Lu Zhongjun driving back, crunched to a stop beside her, and shook off the glass.
"Do you want to come up?" Lu Zhongjun asked.
