After walking for another ten minutes or so, Shanguo stopped.

"It's here!" said Shanguo with a smile.

Yi Shuihan raised his eyes and saw a rusty iron door open, and a cracked and blurred vertical plaque hung on the doorpost, Yi Shuihan vaguely recognized the words of the school.

"Cheng, thank you!" Yi Shuihan said with a smile and touched Shanguo's head.

"That's what I'm supposed to do. Perhaps he was a little shy to be praised by others, Shanguo's little face was red, he bowed to Yi Shuihan, and then ran happily.

Yi Shuihan looked at the girl's back and shook his head and smiled, and then walked into the iron gate.

The school doesn't have a dedicated playground, and the rusty two basketball hoops are probably the only sports equipment in the school.

A few children fought for the only basketball in the clearing, raising clouds of sand.

The dirty little face couldn't hide the smile, and the black eyes were exceptionally bright.

Seeing Yi Shuihan, a stranger, walk into the school, they all stopped their movements and looked at this handsome brother curiously.

"Children, where is your Principal Wang?" Yi Shuihan asked with a smile.

"There, there!"

"It's on the second floor. ”

"No, I just saw him in the second class classroom!"

The children babbled.

Some of the older children asked warily, "Who are you?"

"I'm your teacher, and I'm here to teach you. Yi Shuihan smiled.

The children suddenly became restrained, bowed seriously and greeted, "Hello teacher!"

"Hello classmates!" Yi Shuihan also greeted seriously: "Then the teacher will go to the principal first, and come back to teach you how to play basketball, okay?"

"Okay, goodbye, teacher!" the children's eyes lit up and they said vigorously.

Yi Shuihan walked inside, the teaching building was even more dilapidated, and the walls were a mixture of loess and straw that powdered it, and it looked very shabby.

In the classroom, some children sat on shabby desks reading and writing, and Yi Shuihan did not bother.

As he walked forward, an old man with reading glasses hunched over his waist approached.

"Are you?" he looked at Yi Shuihan suspiciously.

"My name is Yi Shuihan, and I am the teacher who came here to teach!" Yi Shuihan responded with a smile, this should be the principal of this school.

"Oh, it's Teacher Yi, my surname is Wang, the principal of this school!" Principal Wang said with a smile, "You wait for me, I'll talk to the students first." ”

Yi Shuihan nodded, and Principal Wang walked into the class and said, "You read the book first, and I'll come back to teach you a lesson!"

The students in the classroom all poked their heads out and looked at Yi Shuihan curiously.

"Sit back in your seat!" Principal Wang scolded, and led him to the side room after going out.

The room was simply furnished, with a shabby chair stacked with student homework and an even more shabby bed made of thin bamboo skewers and covered with a layer of cardboard.

"It's funny!" Principal Wang smiled and said, "The conditions here are quite difficult, and I live in this room, which is also used as an office. ”

"No!" Yi Shuihan said seriously: "You can only be really admired if you can persist in this environment." ”

"What insists on not sticking, decades have passed. Principal Wang was open-minded, "Teacher Yi, why did you think of applying to come to this poor Gada to teach?"

Principal Wang could see that Yi Shuihan was very young, and it was rare for anyone to come to this place to teach at this energetic age.

Even if the town is transferred, most people will find a way to transfer away.

Yi Shuihan said with a smile: "I have come here to teach for a few months, hoping to bring some changes to the children. ”

"Well, it's rare that you have this kind of thought!" Principal Wang said with a smile: "In that case, let me introduce you to the situation of the school." ”

"There are five classes in this school, from the first grade to the fifth grade, each grade has only one class, a total of more than 200 students, what about the teachers...... If you don't count you, there are only two people, me, and Teacher Chen, I will introduce you later, I teach students Chinese and morality, and Teacher Chen will work harder, teaching children mathematics, music, physical education, art, science, music, these subjects......" Principal Wang continued.

Yi Shuihan asked in surprise, "Are there only two teachers who teach so many subjects?"

Principal Wang sighed and said: "This is also a matter of no way, the town does not assign teachers to come, we can only stay up like this, the children will attend classes when they have classes, and help the family do farm work when there are no classes......

Yi Shuihan was silent, the school's educational predicament was more difficult than he imagined, and the objective conditions were put aside for the time being, the scarcity of teachers was a huge problem.

"Now that you're here, Mr. Chen's burden is lighter, and I don't know much about the homework he teaches, so I can only trouble you!" Principal Wang said sincerely.

Yi Shuihan nodded, although he is not a full-time teacher, there is still no big problem in teaching the children the curriculum of primary school, and he will try his best to take the past courses when the time comes.

"Principal Wang, can you take me around this school?" Yi Shuihan asked with a smile, "I want to know about the children's school environment." ”

Principal Wang looked at him deeply, and his heart was quite touched.

In fact, when he saw Yi Shuihan at first glance, Principal Wang was not very hopeful.

Although Yi Shuihan looks a little dusty, Principal Wang can still see that he lives a pampered life on weekdays.

Such young people may come to experience life, and the so-called volunteer teaching is just a gimmick, and they will leave after a few days of hard life.

Under normal circumstances, he would pay attention to the place where he lived first, but this young man didn't put down his package and came to care about the learning environment of the students, which made Principal Wang feel a little hopeful.

There is really a shortage of teachers in this school, and if he can stay for a month, the children can learn more.

Principal Wang nodded and said, "Well, I'll take you around......"

"These are school classrooms, and the desks are a little shabby, but there is a place to sit. Principal Wang introduced as he walked.

Yi Shuihan looked at the cracked walls and roofs shining into the roof of the classroom with rare light, frowned and asked, "This house is a few years old......, right?" What if it's windy and rainy, it's a bit dangerous, right?"

Principal Wang sighed and said, "Who says it's not, some time ago, because of a heavy rain, the house leaked seriously, and I was worried about danger, so I sent the children home...... In addition to teaching, Teacher Chen and I also worked as workers in the school, repairing leaky water pipes and repairing broken tiles......"

"This is the school toilet. Principal Wang continued.

It is said that it is a toilet, but in fact, it is such a big pit, and it is covered with a wooden plank, which looks dirty and smelly, and this condition is even more difficult than Yi Shuihan imagined.

"When the children were relieved, sometimes the children didn't pay attention, and their feet stepped into the hole, and Teacher Chen and I had no choice but to send him home to change clothes......

Principal Wang introduced them one by one, Yi Shuihan was in awe of him and the teacher Chen who was teaching, and they could stick to the school in this environment for decades, and their kindness and perseverance made Yi Shuihan very admired.

Yi Shuihan pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to improve the environment and teaching conditions of this school, how much will it cost......
