After a while, Geng Hao caught a few students peeking at him through the window, and his heart was very uncomfortable, so he turned around and went to the second grade. This second-grade class was supposed to be Wang Dahua's math class. At this time, the second grade was in self-study, burying their heads in their math homework, and from time to time they heard sobbing. Geng Hao was puzzled and walked in.

"What's wrong? Who's crying?"

When the second-graders heard that the teacher was coming, they all raised their heads. Geng Hao found at a glance that the ones who were crying were from Huang Jiujiu's piece, and they were all girls. One by one, their eyes were swollen from crying, like rabbits.

"Huang Jiujiu, what are you crying about? Who bullied you?"

Huang Jiujiu sobbed and stood up, pointed at Mo Nan and said, "He told us that something happened to Teacher Wang's family, and he may not come in the future." ”

It's really a sister and brother, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door, and the two of them don't want him to be in a relaxed mood today. Geng Hao's face was displeased, and he asked, "Mo Nan, did you say it?"

Mo Nan stood up with a grin, twisted twice, and explained the situation: "I heard it outside just now, saying that Teacher Wang's father committed suicide by drinking poison. Teacher Geng, has Mr. Wang's father been saved?"

Usually when something happens in the village, the women of the village will gather together to talk. Playing mahjong on weekdays, the card table will also take out the short gossip of these parents. Monan could hear a lot of things just by sitting at home.

Wang Dahua lost his daughter-in-law and children, and he had already said that it was rotten in the mahjong parlor. Some people also said that if Wang Dahua hadn't been paralyzed because his old father was still paralyzed, he would have gone out to work a long time ago and earned money to snatch his son back. So when Mo Nan heard that Wang Dahua's father and pesticide committed suicide, he guessed that Mr. Wang would definitely leave.

Geng Hao listened to Mo Nan's explanation, twisted his eyebrows and said, "Okay, don't guess these things, study hard and don't let Teacher Wang worry." Huang Jiujiu, don't cry, if you are really worried about Teacher Wang, study hard, no matter what happens to Teacher Wang, I definitely hope that you can study hard and become a promising person in the future, you know?"

Huang Jiujiu and the other girls sobbed twice, wiped their tears and nodded, and continued to write their homework seriously. Geng Hao stayed in the second-grade class for one class. When the bell rings at the end of class, wait for the parents to pick it up. The third and fourth grade students were also a lot more sensible after being scolded, and after class, Li Yan asked Li Yan to accept the tutorial case and send it to Geng Hao, and when they left, they came to greet him one by one, saying that they were gone. Geng Hao looked at them one by one very well-behaved, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.

……

The day after Wang Dahua's father died, Wang Dahua walked out of the house, told his relatives about the arrangements for the burial of his old father, and began to prepare. Everything was simple, and the old father's coffin was carried up the mountain and buried with Wang Dahua's old mother after a week of mortuary.

During this period, Wang Dahua's daughter-in-law Li Fang came back with her son and stayed until Wang's father's coffin was put into the ground. Wang Dahua didn't stop him, and wanted to get his son's custody back. Because of Father Wang's death, most likely because of the departure of his little grandson. But Li Fang unceremoniously refused, and quarreled with Wang Dahua several times. After the old father settled in the ground, Li Fang took his son away again.

The next day, Wang Dahua also disappeared, scaring the whole village and looking for Wang Dahua everywhere. Until Jiang Weiguo returned to the village, saying that he had sent Wang Dahua out of the village in the morning, Wang Dahua bought a ticket to go to other places. also said that Wang Dahua was determined to earn enough money outside and then come back, so he asked him to say sorry to Principal Huang of the school, and left directly without saying hello because he had no face to go back to school.

Liu Jia returned to the village for Wang Dahua's father's funeral, and when he heard Jiang Weiguo's words for Wang Dahua, he immediately burst into tears and couldn't cry. Principal Huang also said straight to the point, silly boy, poor silly child. Anyway, knowing that Wang Dahua is still fine, everyone is relieved. It didn't take long for Mo Village to return to its usual appearance, and these things were also sealed away, and they were no longer mentioned much, and at most when Wang Dahua was mentioned, he let out a long sigh of pity.

After Liu Jia and Wang Dahua left, Geng Hao cherished the days of teaching with Principal Huang, and every morning when he saw Principal Huang, he had to say "good morning" with a sense of ceremony. I think that when he first came, he heard several of their teachers seriously say good morning to each other, and he thought it was very contrived, and now he thinks that it would be nice if he could say "Teacher Wang, Teacher Liu, good morning" again one morning.

In July, it was already summer, Geng Hao knew that he was going to experience the same weather torture as last year, in order to prevent it, he prepared two large plastic buckets in advance, which were full every day, afraid that the water would be cut off one day. At this time, it was also the day of the final exam, and a semester passed like this. On the day of receiving his report card and summer homework, Mo Bei suddenly asked, "Principal, Mr. Geng, can we still come to school next semester? I don't want to go to school in the town." ”

This is what Mo Fengjiang and his wife asked Mo Bei to ask, and Zhou Yu and Li Yan also raised their heads at the same time, and they also had the same question to ask the principal. Principal Huang looked at the three of them the same, with a kind smile on his face, as always, but there was still deep helplessness.

"You're still going to have to go to town in this fifth grade. The three of you are studious, and our school can't afford to open another fifth grade, but you have to continue to go to school, and you can't delay yourself. If the family disagrees, you can ask the parents to come to me and I will tell them. ”

When the three of them heard the bad news, they were extremely disappointed and lowered their heads.

Geng Hao took a deep breath beside him, his face was expressionless, and he didn't interject half a sentence. They really tried their best, but there was really nothing they could do. At the beginning of the next semester, Geng Hao and Principal Huang will lead four classes. Principal Huang gently gave Geng Hao a vaccination before, saying that there had been cases where two people had brought four classes in the past, and they could bring them over, but it was harder, and one class had to take two classes. The specific method is to leave a task for the first half of this class, and then go to another class for half a class.

"Okay, let's put away the tables and chairs, and after cleaning up, you can go back to spend the summer vacation, remember to finish the summer vacation homework. Principal Huang posted the last task.

Anyway, when the holidays finally came, the students were still happy, happily packing up their things, putting the tables together, putting stools on them, and the two students taking brooms and dustpans and cleaning the whole classroom. Geng Hao checked one and locked the other, and finally sent all the students away, leaving only the office.

As soon as he entered the office, he saw that Principal Huang was sorting out the textbooks and homework and putting them in the cabinet, Geng Hao saw him stepping on the stool and putting the papers and homework into the lattice above the cabinet, his hands and feet were still a little trembling, and he immediately went up to support Principal Huang, who was about to come down.

"Headmaster, you go back first, I'll just clean up alone. Geng Hao glanced at the office, it was all heavy work, and he couldn't let Principal Huang do it, "I'll get it done in a while." ”

Principal Huang patted the dust on his body and smiled: "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”

"No hassle. Geng Hao began to clean up as he spoke, piling up the stacks of homework materials on the table into the cabinet.

"Teacher Geng, when are you going to the city?" Principal Huang moved a stool and sat at the door, leaning against the wall, his hands casually on his knees, and sat quietly to rest. It's not okay to get old, just move casually, and you'll sweat all over. However, the weather is too hot these days.

"I'll go to the interview the day after tomorrow. Geng Hao replied.

Zhang Nan and the others called two days ago, saying that their one-year teaching support was about to expire, and they would leave Huangyang County after the final exam, and they didn't have time to ask Geng Hao to say goodbye, but they just told Geng Hao to take care of himself in the future. Sun He revealed on the phone that there was still a reading volunteer to sign up for this summer, and Geng Hao immediately expressed his willingness to go, so he asked Sun He to help him sign up.

"It's all over there, right?" asked Principal Huang.

"They just live and pay for their own food. ”

"Then there should be a subsidy, right?"

"The subsidy is not much, it should only be enough for my summer vacation. After all, it's a volunteer, and it's good to have a subsidy. I went to see their reading activity before, and I thought it was very good and meaningful for children. I thought I'd find out how they do it, and when we go summer next year, we'll have a reading camp too. ”

"Well, that's a good idea. Then you have to study hard. Principal Huang looked at Geng Hao with a smile, and the more he looked at it, the more relieved he became, "You didn't come back for the Chinese New Year last year, and you won't go back this summer?"

Geng Hao smiled: "I've thought about this too. The reading camp ended on August 15th, and there were only ten days left to leave school, and I had to prepare for the opening of the school course, and I didn't have time to go back. Let's go back when the Chinese New Year comes this year. This year should not be so miserable, and there will be another heavy snowstorm. ”

"It shouldn't be this year, where can you go back for two years in a row?" Principal Huang said affirmatively, "It's not easy for you, your home is far away, and it's not easy to go back." ”

"It's all right. Geng Hao pursed his lips and smiled.

Principal Huang has been accompanying Geng Hao in the office, watching him put everything in order, and when the door is locked, the two of them go to Principal Huang's house together. The two chatted as they walked, talking about the current situation in the school that was getting worse and worse.

"I don't know how the rain is going this year, the school house is getting worse and worse, don't let a few torrential rains wash it down. Principal Huang sighed, "I don't know when this school will be able to renovate." ”

"It should be okay, look at the house can hold up for a while. How long has the school been built?" Geng Hao suddenly asked.

Principal Huang calculated and reported an approximate figure: "It has been more than ten years, and when it was first built, the materials used were relatively inferior, and it is not easy to persist until now." ”
