The stove was lit and the classroom was much warmer.

Actually, it's okay, mainly because there are 17 students in the class now, and the desks are not far from the stove, so they all feel quite warm.

However, this situation can only last until the sixth period of the day, because by this time the coal of the day is almost burned, and then the stove is still a little warm in the seventh period, and it will be cold and cold in the eighth period.

Gong Liguo said that the school conditions are indeed limited, and if the stove is still burning in the seventh and eighth classes, it will be wasteful, and there may be certain safety hazards after school.

Zhang Dongming thinks about it, and this matter is over.

Then there is another advantage of having a stove, that is, students can bring meals, and the lunch box is heated on the stove during the fourth class every day, and they can have a full meal at noon.

This refers to the students in the class like Zhao Xiaoli, Bai Dongsheng, and Wu Chang whose family conditions are difficult, and those whose family conditions are better, and the parents are generally troublesome, and they are not bad for the child's meal money of two yuan at noon.

In the evening, Gong established the country.

After eating, Sun Shufen cleaned up in the outhouse, and Zhang Dongming and Gong Liguo chatted on the kang.

"Uncle, I'll discuss something with you. Zhang Dongming filled Gong Liguo with tea.

"What's your idea again?" Gong Liguo smiled bitterly, today Dongming's diligence he guessed that something must be wrong, but he knew that there was nothing going well in this kid's mouth, so he didn't speak.

Zhang Dongming said: "It's not a big deal, I plan to let the six students in my class study on their own at night." ”

Gong Liguo frowned: "Self-study last night?"

Zhang Dongming explained: "From 6 to 9 o'clock in the evening, let the students study at school at night, and the school only needs to help me pull electricity for the class, and I will pay for the electricity and coal at that time." ”

Gong Liguo thought for a while: "Where do students live at night?"

Zhang Dongming said: "There are only six students in total, and they live in my house, two boys live in the same room with me, and four girls live in Tang Wan's house before. ”

Gong Liguo lit a cigarette and took two puffs slowly: "Have you told the students?"

Zhang Dongming patted his ass and said, "How can it, don't you have to discuss it with your uncle first, but the students in my class must be happy." ”

Gong Liguo nodded and said directly: "Okay." ”

Zhang Dongming was a little surprised, although he knew that he was not too embarrassed about this, but he didn't expect Gong Liguo to agree so happily.

Gong Liguole said: "It's nothing to promise you about this, but you have to talk to your uncle first." ”

Zhang Dongming smiled bitterly, he could probably guess what Gong Liguo wanted to talk to him.

Gong Liguo flicked the cigarette ash and said, "To be honest, how much did it cost to get the exercise books and exam papers this time?"

Zhang Dongming looked frank and lenient: "Uncle, then I'll just tell you." ”

Gong Liguo smiled and waited for Zhang Dongming to say.

Zhang Dongming slowly explained: "I also said before, just help me sell mushrooms, the relationship with a vice principal of the third junior high school is very hard, I spent 3,000 yuan, let my buddy help me get some of their exercise book exam papers from the third junior high school, last time, this time, there will be in the future." ”

Gong Liguo nodded, roughly as he guessed, but there seemed to be a bit of a problem with money, and asked, "Is it really three thousand?"

Zhang Dongming looked affirmative: "Ah, it's only three thousand, and three thousand is less, if I don't want to get more exercise books and exam papers, with the relationship between my buddy and the vice principal of the third junior high school, I may not have to spend a penny." ”

Gong Liguo looked at Zhang Dongming, as if he was distinguishing the truth of what he said, but he had no choice but to give up in the end, there was no flaw on this kid's face, and he couldn't find the slightest basis for judgment.

Gong Liguo took a few puffs of cigarette, thought about it, and said: "Dongming, uncle can see that you really want to teach those students well, and you have done it. Uncle, many times I can't quite understand your thoughts, but Uncle believes in you very much, and is very relieved of you, Uncle just hopes that when you do something, don't be too emotional, think more about yourself, and think more about the future. ”

What Gong Liguo said is actually very clear and thorough, although the truth of these words has little meaning to Zhang Dongming, but the deep concern in these words is what Zhang Dongming cares about.

This is probably a difficult thing to express, in fact, there is no need to express anything, just understand it, just remember it. The key is that in addition, Zhang Dongming doesn't seem to be able to do anything, which is also where he has always felt powerless and even annoyed.

The next day, Zhang Dongming told Zhao Xiaoli, Bai Dongsheng and several other students about his plans.

Most of the students were happy, jumping and jumping.

When the third year of junior high school first started, these students didn't even have much confidence in Zhao Xiaoli's high school entrance examination, and it was Zhang Dongming who opened a bright window for them.

Now, when these students begin to have courage and confidence, when they have enough motivation to study hard, when they are more and more aware of the gap between them and the students in the city, their desire for grades is very urgent.

In this regard, Zhang Dongming has long seen in the usual learning state of these students, and his reaction is not surprising at all.

Then about this, Zhang Dongming told the students that each person would receive 40 yuan a month.

Of course, Zhang Dongming doesn't care about this money at all, 40 a month is not enough for each student's food expenses, he mainly takes into account the ideas of Gong Liguo and Sun Shufen, so he collects a little symbolically.

As for the parents of the students, Zhang Dongming believes that there is no problem.

One is that it's just this money.

The second is that the child lives in his house, and he has been watching the evening self-study, and the parents can rest assured.

The most important thing is that the evening self-study is very helpful to the improvement of children's academic performance, and now that children are studying so hard, those parents must be very supportive.

In fact, even if there is no evening self-study, because many students' homes are far away from the school, twenty or thirty miles, not to mention the cold cycling on the way back and forth in winter, the sky is almost dark every day after school, and the parents themselves are not very relieved. Therefore, in recent years, in the winter, some students whose homes are far away from the school, and whose grades are okay, and whose parents are also very supportive of their children's studies, will find someone to rent in the township.

It is precisely because of these prerequisites that Zhang Dongming has no doubt that the parents of several students will agree to this.

However, Zhang Dongming was not without worry, when he told a few students about this, everyone else jumped and jumped happily, only Bai Dongsheng was sullen.

Originally, Bai Dongsheng's character as a student was like this, he was particularly introverted and didn't like to squeak, Zhang Dongming didn't care about it at first, but then he thought about it carefully, it might not be so simple.

And that's exactly what happened.

The next day, the other five students all said that their families agreed, and their parents were very happy and supportive, only Bai Dongsheng said that his father did not agree.

In the office, Zhang Dongming pulled Bai Dongsheng to sit down and said gently: "Tell the teacher, why doesn't your father agree?"

Bai Dongsheng lowered his head, and his dirty little hands with frostbite wounds on the back of his hands clenched one after another: "My dad...... My dad said...... There is no money at home. ”

Zhang Dongming knew Bai Dongsheng's family situation, so he told Bai Dongsheng yesterday, saying that if his father disagreed, let him say that he would not charge a penny: "Have you made it clear to your father, the teacher can not charge money, as long as you can study hard and be admitted to high school." ”

Bai Dongsheng nodded and whispered, "Yes, my dad said that it wouldn't work." ”

Zhang Dongming frowned, looked at Bai Dongsheng, who had been keeping his head down, and didn't ask again, and finally said, "Tell the teacher, do you really want to study at night?"

Bai Dongsheng's little hands clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched, and finally said "um" in a very small voice.

Zhang Dongming nodded: "Today, you go home and talk to your dad again, if your dad still doesn't agree, the teacher will tell your dad." ”

Bai Dongsheng looked up at the head teacher, his little hands clenched tightly: "Teacher, don't ......"

Zhang Dongming raised his hand to interrupt Bai Dongsheng's words, held his dirty, frost-cracked, tightly clenched little hands, and said softly: "It's okay, trust the teacher." ”
