"We, let's just see, hey, by the way, aren't you not letting the winter vacation make up classes now? Why are you starting classes again, and I'm not afraid that the Education Bureau will punish you." Ding Changsheng said preemptively.

\tThe woman in red frowned and said: "You are from the Education Bureau? This is new, I don't come all year round, it's almost the New Year, and I want to collect any money, I can tell you, I don't have too much, if not, just deduct it from my salary, these children will not pay you money." The woman in red said a little aggrieved, but there was a bit of begging in it.

\t Zhonghua also heard the taste, there must be something the Education Bureau asked for to take the card, so he asked: "Are you saying that the people from the Education Bureau have come to collect fees, isn't it that the teaching materials are free, and the tuition fees are all free?" Zhonghua's tone was full of disdain.

\t "This gentleman, what the hell are you doing, if there is nothing to do, I will go to class, if you are fined, it will be deducted from my salary, the parents of these children are working in other places, it is good to talk about it when it comes to class, when it comes to the holidays, it will become a wild horse, running around, their parents have not come back, they are afraid that something will happen during this time, so they gather to learn something, more to see the children, how you like it, anyway, I don't plan to come back after the New Year." The woman in red was about to turn around and leave.

\t Zhonghua glanced at Ding Changsheng and made a look, Ding Changsheng stepped forward and said: "Teacher Hong, don't be in a hurry to leave, it's like this, this is our county magistrate of Haiyang County, come down today to see the villagers, walk here, I heard someone studying in the school, so come in and take a look, Teacher Hong, it seems that you are not a local." Ding Changsheng began to say.

\t "And who are you?"

\t"Oh, I'm Ding Changsheng, I work as a secretary to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate wants to know about the teaching situation in rural primary schools, can I come to your office and sit down."

\tThe woman in red looked at Ding Changsheng and then at Zhong Hua who was standing next to him, Ding Changsheng's temperament couldn't see anything, but Zhong Hua had been in the government unit for many years, and he naturally had the temperament of a superior person, but Ding Changsheng was like a little ruffian.

\t"Then you guys wait, I'll go talk to the students and make arrangements."

With that, the woman in red left.

\t"Changsheng, how do you know her surname is Hong?" Zhonghua was a little puzzled.

\t"Isn't that in red?"

\t "Ahem, you kid, she wears red clothes, her surname is red, you can really talk nonsense". Zhonghua did not believe.

\t "Leader, really, if you don't believe it, you will ask her later, I will look at the appearance, an old Taoist priest taught me, and I can see it accurately." Ding Changsheng said nonsense.

After a while, the woman in red came back, and saw that Ding Changsheng and the two of them were still standing in place, and her heart was much more steady, because she really didn't know what these two people were doing, so she also arranged for a few older boys to follow behind, if something happened, it would be better for these students to go to the village to call someone.

\t "Let's go, let's go, the office is in front".

\t, "Okay, what is your surname?" Zhonghua really opened his mouth to verify.

"Your surname is Hong, Hong Xiaoyu, hey, by the way, this gentleman, did we know each other before?How do you know that my surname is Hong?" Hong Xiaoyu turned around and asked Ding Changsheng.

\t "Well, guess?" Ding Changsheng smiled slyly, Zhong Hua also thought that this thing was quite magical, but he thought it was Ding Changsheng's blind cat touching a dead mouse.

\tActually, this is Ding Changsheng's trick, when the two of them turned to the middle passage behind the classroom to see the class inside, Ding Changsheng noticed that there was a blackboard newspaper on the gable wall of the classroom, which seemed to have just been drawn before the holiday, and there was a column in it: Teacher Hong's message. So Ding Changsheng is not talking nonsense.

\tThe office is really small because there is only a desk and a chair, and the students' papers and assignments are placed on the newspaper on the floor.

\t"Two gentlemen, I'm really sorry, I really can't sit down here, or let's talk outside the door, Xiaohu, and move a bench to the classroom." Hong Xiaoyu said to a boy behind him.

\t"Is Mr. Hong the official teacher here?" asked Zhonghua.

\t "No, I'm here to teach, I'm from Jiangdu, it turns out that there is a teacher here, who has long passed the age of retirement, but a person with more than 100 children, divided into four grades, after all, I am old, I don't have this energy, after I came, he wanted me to stay, he retreated, but before he could do it, in October last year, he suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died in the school office, it was this office, it turned out that we worked together." Hong Xiaoyu said with tears in his eyes.

\t Zhonghua clenched his fists as he listened, and his bones turned white, he really couldn't imagine that at this time, there would be such a thing under his rule.

\t"Teacher Hong, you just said that you won't come here after the New Year, what's going on, don't these children have a teacher to teach them in the future?" Ding Changsheng asked.

"Secretary Ding, I've been teaching here for three years, and I came here to teach as soon as I graduated, my boyfriend works in the provincial capital and has given me an ultimatum, either go back or break up, I, although I can't bear them, but I have no choice, you look at such conditions, what can I do?" The desks and benches in the classroom are all brought by the students themselves, and they have to bring them back during the winter vacation, and to put it too far, only the desk and chair in my office are from the school, and the others are only this house and this yard."

"Is there a bigger school around here?"

\t"No, within a radius of ten miles, Zhengjia Village is the largest, and there are five or six village children who go to school here." Hong Xiaoyu was also a little embarrassed to say that she would not come back in the New Year, and she hadn't told these children about not coming back in the New Year, because she really couldn't open her mouth when she saw their eyes seeking knowledge.
