I heard laughter from the school, and at least one or twenty students arrived at the school. The sound of laughter fell on Geng Hao's ears, like a bell for class, which made him look at his watch several times in horror and arrived at school as quickly as possible.

He didn't want to be late for the first day.

When we arrived at the small field surrounded by school buildings, it was only 7:43. There were already more than 20 students in the field, gathering in piles to carry out their own activities. Girls jump rubber bands, boys fan cards, and there are mixed sandbags for boys and girls. There were also a few introverts, sitting in the corner with their cloth bags in their arms, staring at the world with open eyes and blank expressions.

They're almost always wearing short-sleeved shorts, or skirts, and those kind of plastic sandals. It should be the reason for playing, and the body is more or less dirty.

As soon as Geng Hao approached with his textbook, they all looked at him in unison, at him, a stranger. A few of them who had seen him before immediately screamed.

"A new teacher is here!"

This sentence is like a signal, a signal of a great wave. When Geng Hao heard this, he subconsciously became vigilant and prepared for them to rush over.

Sure enough, as soon as the voice fell, a few of the older bold ones ran up and asked him about his situation as they had done yesterday, and the question had not changed much. More people just quietly approached, staring at him curiously, waiting for his answer.

"You'll find out in a moment. ”

Geng Hao smiled perfunctorily and slowly moved in the direction of the office. The child's questions are one after another, and if he answers them all, he will not be able to answer them all in class.

The students also noticed that the teacher was tight-lipped and asked a few questions to no avail, so they consciously retreated. At the same time, they reacted that this was their new teacher, not a big brother or sister who came to play with them, and they couldn't help but feel awe of Geng Hao.

The office room was about thirty or forty square meters, and the white wall skin began to peel off, revealing gray bricks and yellow clay inside. There are also signs of water immersion at the junction between the ceiling and the wall, and the corners above look more like perennial waterlogging.

The room is divided into two rooms by three large wooden cabinets, and there are stacks of books and materials in the wooden cabinets. Outside, with the large windows open at the front and back, there were four tables and stools, the tables were thick double desks, and the stools were simple high wooden stools, which were as old as those wooden cabinets.

Although the environment of the office is not good, it looks clean and tidy. At this time, there was only one unknown female teacher inside, about twenty years old, short, with a somewhat stocky build, who was sweeping the uneven ground with a broom.

The light at the door suddenly dimmed, and the female teacher noticed that someone had come in, stopped what she was doing, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that it was a strange young man, and asked suspiciously: "May I ask what ......is it?"

"Hello, my name is Geng Hao, and I am a volunteer teacher here. Geng Hao stood at the door and introduced himself.

"Ah, hello. ”

The female teacher suddenly bowed to him with some restraint. Seeing that she was so formal, Geng Hao hurriedly bowed back.

"You're the new teacher, you sit, sit here. The female teacher took the broom in her hand and put it in front of her, subconsciously pulling away from the distance, and half-evaded pointed to an empty table for him, "You sit here." ”

"Oh, okay, thank you. ”

Infected by the female teacher's restraint, Geng Hao also felt a little more uncomfortable, cautiously entered the office, and put the textbook notes on the empty desk she pointed to. When he approached her just and passed by her, Geng Hao could obviously feel her dodge, not only her gaze, but also her behavior of taking half a step back.

Geng Hao was even more at a loss, sitting at the table in a daze, his body was a little stiff and did not dare to move, his eyes glanced at the female teacher who was still standing next to his desk, the female teacher was immediately shocked, and she clenched the broom and was about to continue cleaning. Geng Hao frowned, feeling that the atmosphere was a little weird.

What's going on now? Is it because he looks so fierce that he scared this female teacher?

Geng Hao secretly speculated about the reason for the female teacher's behavior, and absentmindedly touched his notebook and the first-grade Chinese textbook. Suddenly, he felt an inquiring gaze roaming up and down on him, he knew that it was a female teacher, but he didn't know why, and he didn't know how to ask. I can only straighten my stiff back and pretend that I don't know anything, but in fact it is like sitting on pins and needles.

"Ahh

The female teacher suddenly screamed behind him, Geng Hao's tense nerves immediately snapped, and the whole person bounced up, turning to look at the female teacher in horror. His action obviously frightened the female teacher, who opened a pair of small eyes wide, stared at him stupidly and frightenedly, and held a broom in front of her with both hands.

Geng Hao swallowed his saliva and asked first, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Only then did the female teacher react, put the broom in her hand on the ground, blushed in embarrassment, and said with a sneer: "It's nothing, I suddenly remembered that I didn't introduce myself, my name is Liu Jia, the rewarding Jia." ”

With that, she bowed again. Geng Hao also bowed back.

"Hello. ”

Geng Hao was a little helpless, staring at the potholed ground, with only one thought: when will such an awkward conversation end?

At the end of the brief conversation, the two men stood opposite each other, and fell into a long silence, embarrassment spreading silently. Geng Hao's eyelids jumped, and in order to break this atmosphere, his eyes wandered around, and finally landed on the broom that she had been protecting on his chest, and asked her cautiously.

"Is there anything I can help me with?"

"No, no, I'm done. ”

As he spoke, Liu Jia took out a broken dustpan from the corner behind the door, which seemed to have been stepped on by someone and almost became a piece of iron. Liu Jia turned around, and as soon as he picked up the broom, the dustpan was snatched away. Liu Jia raised her eyes suspiciously, and just saw Geng Hao, who was half an arm away from her, her eyes flashed suddenly, and she looked very flustered.

Geng Hao grabbed her one look and one feeling, frowned for some reason, raised the dustpan in his hand, said "I'll help you", and squatted down directly, putting the dustpan in front of the garbage heap.

When he first arrived, he had to build a good relationship with his colleagues.

In the next second, the broom in front of him moved slowly, and Geng Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the new teacher is not very easy to communicate.

Inexplicably, a strange net pressed down on the top of his head. It was still the female teacher who was looking at him with a strange gaze. Geng Hao swallowed, his eyes wandering around the ground, desperate to find something in his heart so that he could see the female teacher's expression and wonder what she was looking at him.

He now felt like he was being targeted by a wolf, like a lamb to the slaughter, and he had to have a feeling of not knowing when he would be eaten. This feeling made him a little driven crazy.

"Teacher Wang, morning. ”

Suddenly, the sound of a student greeting sounded outside.

"Morning. ”

The greetings came from far and near, and when they reached the door, a figure moved from the door to the house.

"Hey, has the new teacher arrived?"

There was a new person to break the deadlock, and listening to this voice, he was still a lively man, Geng Hao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his head to look at the person who had just come in.

The man was in his thirties, wearing an earthy yellow short-sleeved shirt and a pair of large wide pants, and a pair of slippers, looking casual. He has a chicken nest head and a beard on his face, giving people a very lazy appearance. But when you laugh, there are dimples on both sides, which adds a bit of uninhibition and sunshine.

"This is our new teacher, named Geng Hao. Liu Jia replied to his question, and introduced to Geng Hao, who got up with a dustpan, "This is Wang Dahua, Teacher Wang." ”

Geng Hao nodded hurriedly, turned around and greeted Wang Dahua: "Hello." ”

"Don't be so polite, it's enough to have a teacher Liu to be polite. Wang Dahua casually took out a few textbooks from the drawer, and his body and eyes were always facing Geng Hao, "Where do you live now?"

"Live in the village committee. Geng Hao replied truthfully.

"And where are you going to eat?"

Wang Dahua is very enthusiastic and very casual, chatting with Geng Hao in his mouth, what should he do or what he is doing.

Seeing that the two of them were going to talk for a while, Liu Jia put the broom behind the door and snatched the dustpan from Geng Hao's hand. As soon as Geng Hao finished answering Wang Dahua's question, he immediately withdrew his hand and said apologetically: "I'm going to fall now, where is this?"

"It's okay, you talk. ”

Liu Jia excused himself twice, but he still couldn't resist Geng Hao, so he pointed out the location to him: "Just fall down the slope outside." ”

There are no garbage cans and garbage ponds in the village, and the general garbage is piled up in a fixed place. The school is located on an elevated slope, and the garbage is piled up on the hillside directly opposite the school. At this moment, I saw Principal Huang walking uphill on the dirt steps with a wooden stick. In a trance, there was a sense of panic that I would be caught littering.

"Morning, headmaster. ”

"Teacher Geng is cleaning up early in the morning?" Principal Huang smiled kindly and walked towards Geng Hao with appreciation.

"No, Mr. Liu cleaned it, and I just helped take out the garbage and take it out. ”

Geng Hao and the principal walked back side by side, and the students passing by all greeted Principal Huang with a smile or a stiff smile.

"Morning, headmaster. ”

Principal Huang patted his little head and nodded, "Morning." ”

Geng Hao followed beside him, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. This school is very poor, and the conditions of the students are not good, but they have the most basic quality of respecting teachers, which shows that the education in this school is still very good.

Principal Huang greeted Geng Hao and asked him about sleeping last night, Geng Hao lied and said that he slept well, and Principal Huang immediately said that it was good. Without a word, the two of them entered the office.

"Principal Huang is early. Wang Dahua and Liu Jia said hello at the same time.

Principal Huang replied with a smile: "Good morning, Mr. Wang, Mr. Liu." ”

Invariably, the three of them had smiles on their faces. Geng Hao didn't understand what was going on at first, and felt that this sense of ritual might be too heavy, and it wasn't until later that he understood what it meant.

"Do you all know Teacher Geng?" Principal Huang asked, the two teachers nodded, Principal Huang nodded in satisfaction, and took out four pieces of paper from the old leather bag he was carrying, "Teacher Liu, help paste the new class schedule." ”
