Chapter 158: Tomorrow I'm Proud
When the middle school students began to eat, the open space at the entrance of the classroom gradually became more crowded, the middle school students were not elementary school students, some students just moved a bench, ready to squat in the corner to eat; some students simply moved out of the table, some people were responsible for cooking, some people were responsible for moving, and then a group of students gathered in a circle to eat and chat, and there were a few pickles or side dishes they brought on the table. They ate and chatted, and they already had the appearance of adults.
Those who study well, those who hope to go on to higher education get together, those who are close to home get together, and those who have a similar temper can also get together, and the braggadocio news that the boys are competing seems to be honored. Especially those success stories, some people who used to be like them lived the life they longed for through hard work, had their own house in Haishi, had a successful career, married a white and beautiful Haishi girl, and since then have integrated into the local life. It seems that their future will also have such a future.
Only in a corner where no one is paying attention, there is a girl who is silently bowing her head to eat, her clothes are still a little shabby, but her height is not low. Looking at Zhao Hong's surprise, Teacher Yao, who was squatting to eat next to him, said, "That is a more pitiful child than the children of ordinary migrant workers." Her father died of illness, and her mother took her and her sister out to earn a living. ”
Teacher Yao continued, "That girl's name is Xiaoya, she is very smart, although she does not have a hukou, she lives with her mother and works everywhere, and she has to pay off her debts, and occasionally has the opportunity to study, but her reading ability is very good...... Alas, she may be dropping out of school and want to go to work. ”
Zhao Hong understands that the problem of medical security for peasants will continue for nearly 10 years, and it is also very unsolvable at present! There are many families living in poverty due to the illness of family members, and she is not the first poor child, nor will she be the last. More than 40 percent of the poor population in the country are poor due to illness, which is a relatively high proportion. More than 10 million people suffer from chronic or serious diseases. Among the five causes of poverty, poverty caused by serious illness occupies the first place, and some families "have worked hard to become well-off for ten years, and all serious illnesses have been lost", which is also the place where urban people generally have advantages over rural people. People in urban areas generally have some medical insurance, while rural people do not. In some families, it is common for one to fall ill and collapse the other.
Xiaoya kept her head down, trying to suppress her crying, but she still couldn't help crying bitterly.
Yes, she is indeed very good at studying, but her family background is really poor, her father has spent a lot of money and debts when he is sick, and her mother is alone with two children, which is already very difficult, and she has been studying for six years, even if she studies hard, even if she passes the high school entrance examination, and how much will it cost to go to high school and college? As the eldest in the family, how dare she go to study again, and she will have to bear the burden of the family in the future. Reading has become a luxury.
Zhao Hong always felt that he should do something for this 11-year-old girl, and after eating quickly, Zhao Hong and Teacher Yao said, "Can I talk to this student? ”
Teacher Yao hurriedly said, "Go ahead, what's inconvenient about this, it's good to help explain it, it's good to read!" But it's not the only way out. ”
Zhao Hong walked over without hesitation, looking at this child who was as old as his daughter in his previous life, her sadness made Zhao Hong feel a burst of heartache.
Perhaps it was Zhao Hong's footsteps that alarmed her, Xiaoya raised her head and looked at Zhao Hong's somewhat surprised expression, stood up timidly and said, "Teacher Zhao is good." ”
Zhao Hong looked at this girl who was slightly pale and a little nervous, and there was some doubt in her eyes.
Zhao Hong looked into her eyes and said, "Is there anything you need help with?" Can you talk to the teacher? I just came today, and I don't know your situation yet." ”
Xiao Ya looked at Zhao Hong, there was a little warmth in her eyes, nodded gently, and followed Zhao Hong to the vicinity of the parallel bars.
Xiaoya talked about her confusion again, "My hometown is in a small village near Dabie Mountain, it has always been a very warm little home, my parents and me and my little sister, we are a family of four, my parents work, I look at my sister, although not rich, but at least food and clothing are worry-free." Until five years ago, my father suddenly found out that he had liver disease, and went to the hospital for a check-up was already in the late stage of liver cancer, in order to treat the disease, the family suddenly became poor, and every day had to spend money, and the income suddenly became zero, my mother took my father to seek medical advice, I took my little sister to school, and my father still left us in less than three years, and there was no pillar in the family, although several uncles lent us money, and did not urge when to pay it back, but my mother still took me and my sister out of there to work to pay off debts, but this year, my mother's job was not easy to find, and many small shops began to be unemployed, and even if I found the income, it was very lowIt was a bit difficult for my sister and me to study, and my mother insisted on paying it back. Recently, my mother has been tired and sick, and I am a little scared, will my mother ...... I'm scared!"
In the end, the little girl's body trembled slightly, and the fear in her eyes made Zhao Hong feel it. The little girl leaned lightly on the parallel bars, as if she had a thousand pounds of weight on her.
Zhao Hong patted Xiaoya's shoulder gently, "So you want to drop out?"
Xiaoya nodded lightly, lowered her head and raised her head again, her eyes were already full of perseverance, "I love to read, but I love my mother even more! It's not impossible to give up reading. I remember saying in a book that tears do not mean weakness, shed tears, wipe away tears and move on!"
"Okay, that's a good point! Tears can flow, but wipe away the tears and move on!" Zhao Hong also said with deep understanding.
"Don't be afraid, I have faced difficulties in the past, tears can flow, but I still have to continue to work hard. God helps those who are self-reliant. The problem will definitely be solved. ”
Xiaoya's spirit is also better, maybe what she needs most is just a psychological outpouring, such a smart child must have understood it as soon as she heard it.
Zhao Hong comforted again, "You can rest assured that you can go to class! There is a teacher for everything, and you must tell the teacher if you have any difficulties." After school in the afternoon, the teacher will accompany you to visit your mother. Remember?"
Xiaoya's eyes have begun to have a little brilliance, and she has the beauty that a girl of this age should have instead of gloom.
