Of course, it is the county education bureau and the township cultural and educational committee that are really in charge of it. The so-called management in the village is only to take care of public security and other aspects, and the others cannot be managed at all. This time, someone took the initiative to send educational supplies to the school, which was the first time in the world.

Sun Xiaoying walked into the school with Lei Xiaobo, and it was already half past three in the afternoon. At this time, in the lesson plan behind him, there was a loud sound of reading. In another classroom, the crisp and pleasant voice of a female teacher was heard.

Lei Xiaobo set up a moped on the field of the front row of the house and followed Sun Xiaoying towards the principal's office. Walking into the principal's office, Lei Xiaobo was stunned. In the middle of a small room, two old wooden cabinets separated the front and back rooms, and the front half is the headmaster's room. There was only one desk by the window in the principal's room, a small foldable square table against the wall, and two square stools. The second half of the room was probably the headmaster's bedroom, with a curtain drawn between the two cabinets.

"Hello, Principal Joe. Sun Xiaoying stood at the door of the principal's office and said to Qiao Xiaoyu, who was sitting at the desk in front of the window, "This is the new assistant Lei in our village. ”

Qiao Xiaoyu is about forty years old, thin and capable, with short hair to the ears. She hurriedly got up and said enthusiastically, "It's Accountant Sun, come in and sit down for a while." "But the principal's room was too small for the three of them to sit. Qiao Xiaoyu had no choice but to walk out and stand in the courtyard to speak.

Lei Xiaobo looked at this little sample principal, who was still a peugeot, but with a haggard face and a bright look, and was very curious, and asked, "Principal Qiao, how many classes are there?" Principal Qiao said: "Now there are three mixed classes in total, forty-eight students, including me, there are four teachers in total." ”

Lei Xiaobo asked again: "How many classes does that teacher have to take?" Qiao Xiaoyu replied: "A teacher has to take classes of several grades and different courses, so in our place, teachers are all-round teachers, and the course load is very heavy. ”

Lei Xiaobo then got back to business and said, "Principal Qiao, we are here today to send a batch of donated materials to your school, mainly educational supplies. ”

"Donate materials to us?" Qiao Xiaoyu thought he had misheard, and stared at him with shining eyes, "Is this true or fake?" Sun Xiaoying hurriedly said, "Really, Assistant Lei is a college student village official. As soon as he came to our Qianao Village, he did a lot of things for the village. Soon the road into the village will be repaired, and a factory will be set up. Last time, when he went to the city, he asked for a batch of donated materials for our village. We're going to load tomorrow, so let's see, what do you need for your school?"

"That's great, Assistant Lei, thank you. Qiao Xiaoyu stepped forward with some excitement and shook Lei Xiaobo's hand, shook it and said, "It's really a send-off, there are too many things that our school lacks." Come, and I'll take you around the school. ”

As he spoke, he led Lei Xiaobo and Sun Xiaoying to inspect the school. She pointed out to them as she walked: "Assistant Lei, Accountant Sun, you see, the school buildings of our school are all dilapidated buildings, there are some leaks on rainy days, the doors and windows are ventilated, and the students are shivering with cold in winter." ”

Today, Lei Xiaobo is a bit like an education system leader who came to the school for inspection. He was very surprised, and asked with some puzzlement: "Your school conditions are so poor, didn't you apply to the county education bureau?" Qiao Xiaoyu said: "Why not? ”

Lei Xiaobo sighed and said, "Is our county education bureau so poor? The primary school in the village is a private school, and the township and county can't ignore it. Alas, it seems that just like building a road, we can only wait for our village to set up a factory, develop a project, and have money to build a new school for you. ”

Qiao Xiaoyu heard that Lei Xiaobo's tone was so loud, and he said it very easily, and he didn't believe it, so he glanced at Sun Xiaoying, meaning that this young man wouldn't be bragging, right? When the members of the township culture and education committee and the leaders of the county education bureau came down to inspect, they were all like iron roosters, not only did they not pull out a hair, but they had not said a word that was exciting.

Sun Xiaoying said to her: "Every sentence of Assistant Lei's words can be implemented. As long as he doesn't leave and builds a new school, there is still hope. Qiao Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and her spirit was lifted. She turned around and looked at the immature young man again, still a little unconvinced. Because she has worn out her mouth over the years, she didn't ask for a penny of the school building renovation fee.

But Qiao Xiaoyu also held on to a glimmer of hope, and regarded Lei Xiaobo as a savior, and pointed it out to him: "Assistant Lei, you see, our teacher's office is so old that it doesn't look like it, the ground is still paved with bricks, not cement, so when you step on it, it is always a little fluctuating and unstable." There are only two computers in the school, which is simply not enough. There are even fewer extracurricular books, and none of the students have one. ”

Turning to the back row of classrooms, Qiao Xiaoyu led them through the corridor, and said as she walked: "You see, the desks and chairs are also in tatters, and some of the desks are almost untenable. The stools were brought by the students themselves, and they were uneven and ugly. ”

Lei Xiaobo looked into the classroom, and suddenly his eyes lit up. On the podium of the third mixed class stood a slim female teacher. She was too young to look around twenty. She has a pure appearance, a sweet face, elegant and dignified clothes, a thick ponytail, and a high chest, which is very charming. She is in the fifth grade Chinese class, her voice is clear, her gestures are beautiful, and the class is also vivid and lively.

How could there be such a beautiful female teacher in this school? Lei Xiaobo's footsteps almost couldn't move, he really wanted to see her again and listen to her beautiful voice. But Qiao Xiaoyu walked forward, and he couldn't help but follow.

"Principal Qiao, where is this young female teacher from?" As soon as he walked over, Lei Xiaobo couldn't help asking.

Qiao Xiaoyu said: "She graduated from East China Normal University last year and came from Shanghai as a volunteer teacher. In the beginning, she only taught for one semester. But when she arrived here, she was moved by the poor school conditions and the children's thirsty eyes, so she decided to stay here to teach. ”

Oh, that's right, Lei Xiaobo's heart moved. I am helping the poor, he is a teacher, she is similar to me, I am a college student village official, she is a college student teacher. Gee, why am I only here now?

Lei Xiaobo had the feeling of seeing each other late. Not only was he full of respect for her, but he also had a good impression, so he couldn't help asking, "What's her name?" Qiao Xiaoyu said, "Her name is Tulip Jingxiang." She has a good mind, a beautiful person, and is also dedicated and steady, and we all like her very much. The classmates liked it even more, as long as she went to class, the classroom discipline was very good, and even the grades of some poor students went up. ”

Lei Xiaobo didn't expect to come here today and make such an unexpected discovery. In a dilapidated elementary school deep in the mountains, there is also a volunteer teacher from the metropolis, a college teacher. He didn't want to leave, and really wanted to meet her after class, chat with her, see what she thought, and prepare to teach for a few more years. Are you used to the hard life in school?

Qiao Xiaoyu led them into the teacher's dormitory again, the dormitory door was unlocked, and the door opened as soon as he pushed it. Qiao Xiaoyu said to them: "This is Tulip Jingxiang's teacher Zhou Xiaowen's dormitory. ”

There is only a curtain in the middle of the dormitory, and in the front is a cooking room and a dining room, and in the back are two small beds facing each other. There is a rice cooker on the table, a microwave. Qiao Xiaoyu said: "If there is electricity, they can still cook and eat, but when the power goes out, they can only make instant noodles to eat." ”

A girl in a metropolis can adapt to such difficult conditions, and it is impossible without a kind of spiritual support. So Lei Xiaobo has special admiration for tulips and has some expectations. When the inspection was completed, he didn't want to leave immediately, he really wanted to see Tulip.

Qiao Xiaoyu took them into the teacher's office and said to them, "Sit down for a while, and the class will be over in a while." After the third class, it was time off. Teachers are busy making up lessons for junior students and grading homework. ”

Lei Xiaobo sat down on a writhing chair, stabilized the chair with his feet, and asked, "Is there a charge for students to make up classes here?"

Qiao Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Charge? There is no fee, and students still refuse to come to school. So we have been conducting home visits and trying every possible way to persuade all the students who have dropped out of school to come back. ”

Lei Xiaobo sighed: "In schools in the city, teachers charge fees for students to make up classes. How can this be? What does the relationship between the teacher and the student become? This is too abnormal and too undesirable. ”

As they were talking, Qiao Xiaoyu took the time on her mobile phone and went to the window to pull a rope and ring the bell for class. The clock was hung under the eaves behind the teacher's office in the front row. "Ding-ding-" The bell was small, and the sound was not very loud, but it was unusually crisp and pleasant in the silent mountains.

After a while, some students walked out of the classroom with their school bags on their backs. There were students on the playground of the school, and they were immediately angry. The whole school is painted with a golden glow by the sunset that shines obliquely from the mountains, turning it into a natural and poetic oil painting.

The door of the teacher's office suddenly lit up, Lei Xiaobo turned around and saw Tulip Jingxiang walking in with two students. When she saw Lei Xiaobo, her eyes lit up. Then he blinked his eyes with a look of surprise, as if asking: Who are you? How can there be a boy who looks like a college student here?

But she also has the reserve of a girl, and she did not take the initiative to take the market with him. She turned her head, sat down at her desk, and said to the two boys standing behind her respectfully, "Shi Xiaoxing, you say first, why didn't you finish your homework?"

Shi Xiaoxing had two snots hanging under his nose. He walked up to Tulip from behind, looked up at her, and muttered something. Tulip Jingxiang said: "Then you make it up now, go to the classroom to do it, and hand it over to me after finishing your homework before going back." Shi Xiaoxing nodded obediently and went out.
