If you want to change your destiny in the future, the most important thing is to change yourself first.

Many people actually don't understand this truth, they always habitually complain, to accuse the world of unfairness, to accuse themselves of not being born with a golden spoon, and not to be like a certain young master, saying "I never care if the other party is rich or not, because they are definitely not as rich as me".

But the problem is that few people think about how they can change.

Parents have given us life, and we can't choose to be children, so if we want to change our fate, we can only change ourselves.

Duan Xu tried to change his fate and achieved some success, but now he is a little confused, and he needs to find a way forward.

This quiet little mountain village is really a nice environment for him.

Of course, the living conditions were a little harder.

"Duan Xu, do you really plan to stay here?" Tan Xue asked Lin Jing the same concern.

Duan Xu nodded: "Let's stay and take a look for the time being." ”

His thoughts are very clear, and he has nowhere to go recently, so he simply stays here to help teach.

Tan Xue and Lin Jing glanced at each other, a smile appeared on their faces, they got along with Duan Xu quite well along the way, and they also knew that Duan Xu was indeed a very good person, since he was willing to stay here, the two of them could be regarded as a companion.

Many times, people tend to be less confident in themselves when they do something, and their willingness lies in the fact that things are often more difficult than they imagined, and at this time, if someone can walk with them all the way, it may have a different outcome.

"By the way, you two, have you been assigned how to teach the lesson?"

Duan Xu thought for a while and asked Tan Xue and Lin Jing.

This matter is very important, since we are here, it is necessary to be present, although the primary school curriculum is simple, but the division of labor must be clear.

Tan Xue smiled bitterly: "I haven't thought about it yet, I don't know the specific situation of the children here." ”

Lin Xue also nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know how many children there are." ”

Hearing their words, Duan Xu frowned, and shook his head helplessly: "If you look at the situation in this village, you should know that there are definitely not many people." On the way we came before, didn't the eldest brother who drove the car say that the primary school here is a gathering of children from four natural villages, and I don't think there should be too many. ”

After a pause, Duan Xu said, "I think so, there are three of us, each of us is responsible for two grades." ”

According to the division of nine-year compulsory education, school-age children need to complete the sixth grade of primary school, and Duan Xu's method is very simple, that is, it is simply one size fits all. Tan Xue and Lin Jing are in charge of the first, second, third and fourth grade students respectively, and they are in charge of the fifth and sixth grade students.

As for the specific class division, in this kind of primary school where the total number of students in the school does not exceed 100, Li Lei feels that one class per grade is already quite good.

He even vaguely doubted that there were ten people in some grades.

Duan Xu knows more about the education situation in the mountainous areas than Tan Xue and Lin Jing, and it is also more profound. Although he has not carefully inquired about the situation in the village, Duan Xu can judge from the situation in the village that the economic situation here is quite bad.

In other words, the vast majority of families will definitely not choose to let their children study, because reading will undoubtedly mean that there will be one less labor force and more expenditure in the family.

I have to say that Duan Xu's judgment is not wrong.

Three days later, looking at the children with less than forty people in front of her, Tan Xue was shocked.

"This, it's not a joke, right?" Tan Xue looked at Lin Jing, obviously, she didn't expect it to be like this.

Lin Jing's face was full of sluggishness, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the old village chief who sent the children over: "Village chief, is this a village child?"

"No, it's from four villages, and I've already sent someone to inform you before. The village chief said with a wry smile.

Not everyone knows the importance of reading like him, and in the four surrounding villages, there are simply two villages where not a single child has come, in their words, what is the use of going to school, not to mention the waste of money, and the delay of time.

Only a dozen children were sent from the next village, and the rest were from their own village.

Duan Xu seemed very calm, this situation was not unexpected by him, the news in the mountains was closed, in the eyes of the vast majority of villagers, reading was a very useless thing, they didn't understand that knowledge could change not only their fate, but also their lives.

"What should I do?"

Tan Xue looked at Duan Xu, at this time, she could only pin her hopes on Duan Xu.

It is said that women are born weak, and sometimes there is a certain amount of truth, because whenever there is a choice to rely on, they will habitually choose the person who can be relied on. And now, Duan Xu is undoubtedly the more trustworthy person in the eyes of Tan Xue and Lin Jing.

Duan Xu shrugged: "What can I do, I can teach as many people as I want." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Tan Xue: "You and Lin Jing can make statistics on which grade these children should study, and then teach them in batches." ”

This is the only way he can think of, after all, the three of them are new to the city now, to put it bluntly, people don't believe that they will last long here, and it is estimated that this is also the reason why there are not many students from other villages.

"Teacher Duan, I'm really sorry. The old village chief said to Duan Xu with an apologetic face.

He didn't expect this to be the case, after all, he said before that he would let everyone in the village send their children, but the problem is that the other villages are not under his own control, and his own words may not work on the other side.

Duan Xu smiled and waved his hand: "Old man, there is no need to apologize, I also understand their thoughts." Everyone has their own ambitions, so we don't need to force them. ”

After thinking for a while, he turned around and went back to his house, then walked out again, took out a wad of money and handed it to the old village chief: "That's the case, I see that the children don't have any school supplies, you take the money, send someone to the township to buy some school supplies, come back, and distribute it to the children." ”

"This can't be done, this can't be done. The old village chief hurriedly shook his head, how could he ask the teacher to pay for the students to buy school supplies.

Duan Xu laughed, just stuffed the money into the old man's hand, and said seriously: "As for me, the family conditions are not bad now, and I also came from a hard time when I was a child, I know that going to school and studying is not an easy thing, since these children are here, then I, as a teacher, will be responsible for them to the end, you can rest assured, I promise to teach them all well." ”

All of a sudden, the village chief, who was dozens of years old, was crying like a child.
