The yard is very clean, and there is a dilapidated basketball hoop at the easternmost end, which is supposed to be used as a playground.

A few steps further into the classroom, we saw that there were more than 30 children crammed into a classroom, and when we heard that the villagers said that a new teacher was coming, all the children came to us in unison.

The person who gave a lecture on the podium should be Hu Yibiao's daughter-in-law, the only teacher here.

As soon as she heard that we were teaching volunteers, she happily stepped down from the podium and motioned for the children to come out to welcome us.

She wore a white shirt, which had been washed and yellowed, and although the jeans on her lower body were not beggar's pants, they basically meant beggar's pants.

Seeing her come over with a smile, I felt very kind and warm.

I took a general look at her, if she lived in the city and the living conditions were good enough, she could at least be classified as good-looking, with excellent eyebrows, eyes, and nose.

It's just that here, the nutritional level can't keep up, and we don't pay as much attention to maintenance as we do, so the skin condition is not very good, and the complexion is a little dull yellow.

She didn't walk fast, and her hands instinctively protected her stomach.

That's right, she's pregnant, and judging by the extent of this bulging belly, it shouldn't be long before she gives birth.

This information was not given to me by Twilight, so when I saw her bulging belly, I was really surprised. I had just taken a cursory look around, and then I thought that at the beginning, she was still standing on the podium and writing chalk words, and my heart couldn't help but tighten.

When I was pregnant to this extent, I enjoyed absolutely the same treatment as the Empress Dowager Cixi, and everyone in my family surrounded me, and it was not even allowed to move around at will, let alone stand on the podium and teach so many children.

I quickly threw down my suitcase, walked forward in a few steps, and supported her, "If you're pregnant, move less." ”

The woman smiled happily, "It's okay, it's okay...... Xu is too excited, Xu is too surprised, and she is a little unfavorable to speak.

However, after all, she is the only college student here, and she does not speak in Guizhou dialect like the villager who showed us the way, which is the best and convenient for future communication.

"Director Wu told me about you, I thought he was just talking, but I didn't expect you to really come. I helped her to sit down on a bench in the courtyard, and from the moment she saw us, she was in a very good mood, and she couldn't stop smiling on her face.

At this time, I really hope that we are sincerely here to teach, without other purposes and no other distractions.

The children around us also came up and looked at us one by one, as if they had seen aliens.

Fortunately, Lele and Rocky are not pampered people, and while I was chatting with the teacher, I took the initiative to open the suitcase and hand out the snacks and stationery we had prepared earlier.

The child suddenly became more lively and jubilant, and she also looked over with some curiosity, and I remembered that I hadn't introduced it yet, "By the way, both of them are good friends of mine," here, there are no assistants and bodyguards, "This is Rocky, this is Lele." ”

I pointed to Rocky and Lele and introduced them to her one by one.

Then, I introduced myself again, "My name is Lin Chuxia, and you can call me Chuxia." ”

"I know you. She nodded, "You're the big star." Speaking of this, her eyes once again released a glint of joy, "Director Wu told me that you came back, I really didn't believe it before." ”

"Actually, I should have come a long time ago. "Looking at her hard work, and then looking at these innocent smiling faces, I really feel that this trip is really meaningful.

"Hey, we're so poor here, a big star like you shouldn't be here. She shook her head, sighed and then stretched out her hand, "By the way, my name is Zhang Shuhua, you can call me Shuhua." ”

"No, I should call you Teacher Zhang. ”

She smiled casually, "Then whatever you want," she said, and stood up.

I quickly stood up and supported her on the side, but she waved her hand easily, "I'm fine." ”

But seeing these children in front of me running wild, I couldn't help but worry.

However, when these children heard Teacher Zhang's signal, they immediately obediently quieted down, and they were even more cautious when approaching Teacher Zhang, and after that, the children lined up in front of us.

Truth be told, the number of children is even rarer.

Of course, it's not that there are fewer children here, it's that there are very few children who can afford to go to school. The economic conditions of the family do not allow it to be one thing, and the ideology of the parents is another.

Teacher Zhang officially introduced the three of us to everyone and asked the children to call us teachers. Although the number of children is small, the spirit is very large, and they are full of enthusiasm and gratitude for us.

The more they did that, the more guilty I felt.

Of course, going to see Hu Yibiao is the first task, but I also secretly decided that even if it is only three or four days, I will get along with them well, and strive to help Teacher Zhang share some of the pressure and teach the children more knowledge.

It's just that what it means to be ideal is very plump and the reality is too skinny, but I quickly experienced it myself.

First of all, the lunch at noon gave us a dismount, which Mr. Zhang deliberately stayed here and worked with an enthusiastic aunt around him to make it for us.

It can be seen that it is the best lunch for them, but it is only two bowls of green vegetables and a braised pork.

But it is difficult to resist the hospitality, and their hearts are the most rare, and the three of us try to eat this lunch with relish.

After this lunch, Zhang Shuhua couldn't help but sigh, saying that we are too kind and too easy to serve. She is a person who has been out of the mountains, so she naturally knows what level the outside world is.

Plus I'm still a big star in her eyes, although I do now, and it's even more difficult for us to be able to eat this not-so-delicious lunch so cooperatively.

After lunch, we went to the accommodation to clean up while the children were all home.

There are no extra rooms, there are three rooms in the school, one is reserved for classrooms, and one is counted as Zhang Shuhua's office, which is also where she rests at noon.

We, of course, were going to live in the only room we had left.

When we entered the door, there were only two beds with broken wooden planks on both sides of the wall, and a table was placed on the wall opposite the door, which was supposed to be reserved for us to put sundries.

"I didn't know that the three of you came back, so ......" Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhang Shuhua was also a little embarrassed.

Rocky stepped forward before me and said with a smile, "It's okay, the three of us are relatively thin, and we can just squeeze and sleep." ”

After this guy came, he was also overflowing with love, and he hadn't seen how much she liked children before, especially for Twilight Haoxuan, let alone how much she liked it, and she said unabashedly before that Xuan Xuan was covered with the shadow of the twilight sky, and she would only lie down, which made her feel bored when she looked at it.

But after coming here, she quickly got along with the children, and in the afternoon she had to teach them martial arts lessons.

We cleaned up casually, and Lele and Rocky naturally had to squeeze into the same bed.

In fact, I want to say that Lele has obviously gained a lot of fortune recently, and if you look at the actual size of the bed and the few sparse planks on it, it is obviously safer for me and Rocky to squeeze together.

The afternoon passed very quickly, and I had a music lesson with the children, which was a fulfilling first day of teaching.

It's just that when it's time for dinner, the harsher reality is in front of us again.

The news of our visit spread throughout the village, and everyone welcomed us very well, so several families brought their treasured 'delicacies' for dinner.

However, looking at the black sausages and the delicacies from the mountains and seas that I don't know where they came from, Lele and I couldn't control it directly, and ran aside without picking up the chopsticks.

Fortunately, in order not to affect our meal and rest, the kind-hearted villagers were sent away by Mr. Zhang in time and did not lose their temper in front of them.

As far as eating is concerned, I really don't want to stay here for a day, and I really regret that I didn't listen to Chen Yanfei and bring some food over at that time.

Teacher Zhang originally wanted to wait for us to have dinner and then go home.

Now, seeing that we were so hard to swallow, he finally asked us ruthlessly, "Why don't you go home with me, although there is nothing to entertain you at home, but you people in the city still have some white rice." ”

Rocky sprang up from his dilapidated stool in an instant, "Of course, it's just rice." ”

I stared at her with some trepidation, wasn't she still calmly eating the food sent by the villagers just now, how could she be more breathless than me and Lele at this time.

When Mr. Zhang went back to the office to get something, Rocky quickly stretched out his finger and slashed it in his mouth a few times, and with a few vomiting sounds, the thing she swallowed was spit out.

Rocky rinsed his mouth and then said to me, "I just thought that poisoning is better than starving." If I had known that Mr. Zhang would take us home, I would definitely not have eaten it. ”

……

This guy.

In this way, we followed Ms. Zhang to her house, which lived in the northernmost part of the village, halfway up the hill.

On the way, she also told us that her father-in-law was more quiet, and his personality might be a little withdrawn, and he was not very good at dealing with people, so he told us not to mind too much after we went.

I was going to visit Hu Yibiao tomorrow after I got familiar with the environment, but I didn't think of a good way to visit.

I don't want to see this person now, even if it's a mistake, outside of my plan.

Think about it, both nervous and excited.

After walking for about 20 minutes, when a house with flashing lights appeared in front of us, Mr. Zhang also raised his hand and pointed there, "It's almost there." ”

Rocky still walked at the front, while Lele and I were both a little out of breath and barely followed.

Fortunately, Teacher Zhang is also pregnant, so she can't act too quickly, otherwise, the two of us will definitely be ridiculed.

By the hazy moonlight, I looked at the house. Compared with other villagers' houses, Hu Yibiao's home not only has a stone-built exterior wall, but also a five-room house built with a very imposing appearance, a typical red-tiled house, the exterior wall is painted with white lime, which is a layer higher than the yellow earthen walls of other villagers.

"My father-in-law is very hardworking, and he usually works with his head down, so the Gu family is relatively good in this village. "Teacher Zhang probably noticed my thoughts, but took the initiative to mention it to me.

At this point, I also realized that I should follow her, and also pay attention to calling the Hu family the ancient family.

Walking to the door of the ancient house, there is also a serious gate, which is also very different from the random fence piles of other people.

Teacher Zhang stepped forward and slapped the door a few times, "Honka, Honka." ”

Gu Song should be Hu Yibiao's son.

There was no one answering for a long time, and when Mr. Zhang was about to turn around to talk to us, an old man walked out of the back room.

As soon as Teacher Zhang saw the figure, he called, "Dad, I'm back." ”

The old man walked over slowly, and when he saw Teacher Zhang, he showed a hint of a smile, but when his eyes fell on me behind Teacher Zhang, he suddenly became deep.

He didn't speak, he didn't open the door, he just stood inside the door and looked at me.

"Dad, this is the teacher that Director Wu said was here to teach," Zhang Shuhua hurriedly introduced us.

Zhang Shuhua was still explaining that we were not used to the dinner sent by the villagers, so she wanted to take us home and barely have a meal.

The old man looked at me, and then looked at Lele and Rocky beside me, and the door was opened, but he was still standing at the door, without any concession and inviting us in.

"Dad, don't you still have some rice at home, I want to ......"

"No more. The old man finally spoke, and his cold tone was almost the same temperature as the two fathers and sons of the Twilight family.

Zhang Shuhua was obviously stunned, "I remember ......"

The old man stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Shuhua in, and then he didn't look at us, turned sideways and said, "Shuhua, she remembered wrong, our family's situation is similar to those villagers, and it may cause you to run away in vain." With that, he closed the door.

The old man stood between us and Zhang Shuhua like this, Zhang Shuhua looked at us apologetically, but didn't dare to say anything more.

She is well-meaning and innocent.
