Since that day, Benwa has really reined in a lot. Qi Yun also gradually began to accept some of the principal's practices of managing students, the so-called "chaotic times use heavy codes", such a metaphor may not be appropriate, but in terms of effect, it is indeed the case. However, acceptance is just a compromise of last resort, and Qi Yun still strongly disagrees with this kind of use of violence to force students to go to school from the bottom of her heart, which she believes will affect the children's interest and love for learning.

However, Qi Yun is also a good young man who knows how to judge the situation, obviously what interest and love to talk about is the next step, and the most important task at this stage is to gather the students in the classroom, so that they do not make trouble in class, and it is best to be instilled a little knowledge into their minds. Of course, indoctrination is not the best way to learn, and it can even be said to be the worst, but now there is no better way, so I have to instill it first.

One day Qi Yun came to the classroom as usual, and found that a boy named Chunsheng did not come to class, and asked him at the same table, saying that Chunsheng got up early this morning and put his schoolbag on his back, but he was called home by his mother and asked him to let go of the old cattle at home, and he has not come to school yet, it seems that the cattle have not yet escaped.

Qi Yun frowned. Chunsheng is a more honest and honest student in the class, and he can't talk about being smart, but because of his hard work, he has a good learning foundation. However, the current Qi Yun also knows that these rural primary school students are not as good as city children after all, and city children are raised in the palm of their hands by their parents and four elders of the next generation, not to mention that as long as they study well, they can be justified as little emperors, even if they only think about how to play and play unhappily, they often have to be angry with their elders; However, rural students seem to be born with the burden of their families, not only as a matter of whether parents support their children's schooling, but also as a last resort. Qi Yun thought like this and sighed helplessly. She didn't plan to dwell on this issue any longer, and opened the lesson plan to start the class, but suddenly heard a strange voice from the corner:

"Teacher Qi, why can't Chunsheng come to class?"

Qi Yun followed the sound and looked over, and when he saw the lazy grinning little face, he couldn't help but have a headache again. She involuntarily held her head, thinking about how to answer, but Benwa stood up and said a word to Qi Yun's army:

"Chunsheng didn't come, teacher, can you pick up his chicken coop?"

Qi Yun's face changed suddenly. She closed the lesson plan and said coldly:

"You take your own class, and you don't care what other people do?"

Benwa smiled and said: "I think teacher, if you go to the chicken nest in Chunsheng, we will help you, anyway, looking at your thin and weak appearance, it doesn't look like you can pick up the chicken nest, don't let the old hen peck her ass!" ”

As soon as Ben Wa's words came out, several students in Qi Yun's field of vision secretly covered their mouths with their hands to eat and laugh, Qi Yun was helpless, and was about to bring out the principal to intimidate this lawless student, but heard Ben Wa continue unhurriedly:

"I'm all good at it, and if you report it to the principal, you can't say that I'm ignoring it. However, if Teacher Qi doesn't pick up Chunsheng's chicken nest, your words don't count. If the teacher's words don't count, then my uncle's house has a vegetable cellar that has not been repaired, and I will have to go back. ”

Qi Yun stared at Benwa, wanting to see if he was bluffing, but unfortunately, obviously not. Benwa finished a big call slowly, and began to bow her head to pack her schoolbag, which was really a posture of picking up her schoolbag and leaving. Qi Yun was angry at the bullfight, but he couldn't say anything about his suffering. Because from a certain point of view, what Benwa said is not wrong, if Chunsheng can make an exception and not come, why can't Benwa not come? Moreover, what gave him even more headache was the big cowhide blown down by Hong Jian, saying that the students would tear down other people's chicken coops if they didn't come to class, uh, could she Qi Yun really have the ability to demolish the chicken coop of Chunsheng's house?

But this time, she resolutely couldn't let Ben Wa out of this classroom door without her eyes. In a hurry, she didn't think much about it, so she stretched out her hand and grabbed Benwa's clothes, and left him with a cruel word:

"Don't go! You wait, I'll go and bring Chunsheng to school! ”

Ben Wa's figure paused, he turned his head to look at Qi Yun carefully, and slowly a narrow and sly smile appeared on the ground hole. He nodded, straightened his clothes, sat back in his seat, and said loudly:

"Teacher Qi, if you can bring Chunsheng back, I will obey you, I won't leave!"

Qi Yun gritted his teeth: "Okay, you wait!" ”

She turned her head and walked out, with the sadness of the wind and the cold. Behind it was Ben Wa's gaze, as well as the gazes of other children, or stunned, or suspicious, or expectant, or mocking, she could feel every one. She took a long breath and, before leaving the classroom door, turned to the children and said:

"I'm going to bring Chunsheng here, you guys have a good self-study in the class first! If I come back and find that you are not doing self-study, the teacher ...... Teacher, I'm going to be angry! ”

Qi Yun mustered all her momentum, but suddenly rushed out such a weightless sentence, she was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to think about it quietly, so she had to turn her head and plunge into the white bright sunlight like a deserter.

Chunsheng's family does not live in the place where the villagers gather to build houses, but in a dilapidated cave on the side of the mountain, Qi Yun looked at the hole kiln of his house is supported by a few thick branches, otherwise he is afraid that it will collapse when it rains on a cloudy day, and he can't help but feel a little frightened. When he walked into the earthen kiln with four walls of the Kong family, Qi Yun suddenly felt that something was stuck in his heart, and he almost wanted to turn around and run out of the door.

Chunsheng's mother had bad legs and feet, and when she saw Qi Yun coming in, she was still lying on the bed blankly, without saying hello, and there was no expression on her face.

Qi Yun felt embarrassed, stood apologetically, and reluctantly smiled:

"Chunsheng's mother, is Chunsheng not at home?"

"Not there."

After saying a sentence stiffly, Chunsheng's mother returned to silence, and the silence in the kiln seemed to freeze. As long as Qi Yun wandered, he would feel that what was lying in front of him was not a living woman, but just a wooden clay sculpture.

Qi Yun twisted his hands and asked unwillingly, "That's ...... Where did Chunsheng go? ”

"I don't know."

Chunsheng's mother still said coldly. Qi Yun was a little angry and stared at Chunsheng's mother's eyes, hoping to awaken some of her guilt for the child. But Chunsheng's mother rolled her eyelids upward, closed them blankly, and refused to open them again.

Qi Yun was helpless, knowing that it would be futile to work hard here, she said goodbye, and she didn't know if the other party heard it, so she turned around and walked out of the cave. Qi Yun didn't know where to find Chunsheng, but she knew that she couldn't just go back to the classroom like this, so that Zi Benwa wouldn't fall out and be a genius! She had to figure out a way.

Judging from the current situation, it seems to be the most cost-effective way to find the principal to help solve the problem, but unfortunately Qi Yun doesn't want to rely on the principal all the time. Qi Yun thought as he walked, since Chunsheng's cousin said that Chunsheng's mother asked him to herd cattle, it should be on the hillside not far from the village, the slope is gentle, and the weeds are relatively rich...... Well! That's right, she went there to find Chunsheng, and when she found him, she pulled him back to the classroom, and she didn't believe that a child could beat her. Since Chunsheng's mother can be brutal, then her teacher Qi Yun can also be brutal, anyway, it is all for Chunsheng's future, Chunsheng and his mother will understand in the future!

As soon as Qi Yun walked to the mountain where the withered grass was sparse and swaying in the wind, he saw the lonely little figure of Chunsheng holding an old ox, and it was really here! Qi Yun was angry in his heart, he was more than ten years old, and he had a good time, but he didn't study in the classroom, but he came here to herd cattle! Thinking of this, Qi Yun's heart swelled with courage and the dignity of his teacher, and he rushed forward in a few steps, and couldn't help but say that he grabbed the rope in Chunsheng's hand and threw it on the ground, grabbed Chunsheng's collar and walked in the direction of the classroom.

Chunsheng was stumbled by Qi Yun, and begged again and again: "Teacher Qi, Teacher Qi, I'm ...... Walk ...... yourself"

The old scalper behind him let out a long "moo", and Qi Yun heard a stirring spirit, and a trace of cool air came out of his back.

According to her several "struggle experiences" in the countryside, Qi Yun always loses every "war" with students for inexplicable reasons, such as wasps, cabbage insects, and ponds...... And what will it be this time? Could it be an old scalper?

In an instant, Qi Yun had seventeen or eighteen thoughts in his heart, I heard that cows are the most taboo about red, and when they see this color, they will be emotional and step forward, but Qi Yun is wearing a faint pea-green down jacket today, which should not be within the color range of the old scalper's opinion. But will this cow of Chunsheng's family hate bean green? Or is it not particularly fond of color, but it hates to be pulled by the neck of its little master? Thinking of this, Qi Yun broke out in a cold sweat, couldn't help but let go, and looked back at this powerful old scalper with a weak heart.

Unexpectedly, the old scalper behind him just looked at Chunsheng quietly, a pair of old and docile eyes actually revealed a certain transparency of understanding the world, seeing such eyes Qi Yun's heart tightened, I heard that Indians worship cows as gods, India's Brahmanism believes that cows can be psychic, before hearing this Qi Yun only felt that it was nonsense, but today when she saw the old cattle of Chunsheng's family, she unconsciously believed a little, at least she inexplicably felt that this cow could communicate with people.

As soon as Qi Yun Leng Ding let go, Chunsheng stumbled and finally stood firm, but he quickly apologized to Qi Yun.

"Teacher Qi, I'...... I'm sorry you shouldn't have missed class...... I'll go back to the classroom with you. Chunsheng bowed to Qi Yun in a regular manner, then turned around and glanced at the old scalper in embarrassment, calling it, "Old Huang ......"

The old scalper looked at Chunsheng with great meekness and pity, raised his head and called "moo", turned his head by himself, and walked silently in the direction of Chunsheng's house.

Qi Yun was dumbfounded, and he and Chunsheng looked at the scalper known as Lao Huang. After a while, I only heard Chunsheng say, "Teacher Qi, let's go." ”

Qi Yun came back to his senses, pointed at Lao Huang's back dragging a cattle rope and slowly walked away, and asked with a stammer:

"But...... What should I do with the cow? ”

Chunsheng's gentle voice revealed a hint of pride: "Lao Huang can find his own home, it doesn't matter." ”

Qi Yun clenched his fists tightly and stood in place until Lao Huang's back gradually turned into a small dot on the horizon and finally disappeared. Qi Yun said in his heart: Thank you, Lao Huang.

After the Chunsheng incident, Qi Yun allowed himself to adopt a somewhat "despicable" method: every day when he went to class, he carried a handful of candy in his pocket, and all the children who came to class were given a pill, so that they could taste the "sweetness" of Teacher Qi. These fruit candies were all wholesaled from the wholesale market before coming to teach in the country, and they were very cheap, and Qi Yun brought a lot of them. Originally, she planned to give a greeting gift to all the students in the school when she first came, but on the way to send her, Hong Jian specifically instructed that this should never be done, because the teacher would give out candy as soon as she came, which would confuse the boundary between learning and eating snacks, and it might become an act of charity that insulted the students' personality. Qi Yun listened to Hong Jian's words and planned to save these sweets for everyone during the Chinese New Year. But now I have no choice but to use this kind of trick that I will be seriously despised by my former self no matter how I think - her teacher Qi Yun's class still can't attract students? Do you want to rely on a mere eight yuan a pound of fruit hard candy to gather popularity and canvass votes for her? It just doesn't make sense!

It's a pity that the truth is really as harsh as a winter blizzard, and the attraction of her teacher Qi Yun's class is obviously not as attractive as eight yuan a pound of sugar. A striking indicator is that since she started giving out sugar, the number of students in the class has greatly exceeded the previous ones, both in terms of the number of attendances and the degree of ardent anticipation, which makes Qi Yun feel deeply frustrated.

Frustration is frustration, and it would be a good thing if life could go on like this. But the reality is always crueler than imagined, and soon Qi Yun found that the prestige she had established with fruit hard candy had plummeted before class one day, and the direct cause of this gap was that a more delicious White Rabbit toffee appeared in the students' pockets!

It was Yuqin who told Qi Yun the secret. Yuqin stretched out a hand very solemnly, spread out her palm and slightly exposed the white rabbit toffee neatly wrapped in oiled paper, and then quickly closed her palm, as if as long as she was exposed to the sun for a while, the white rabbit toffee would melt away, or disappear out of thin air.

Qi Yun frowned tightly, she was very ashamed of herself, because her first reaction when she saw the White Rabbit Milk Candy was: Teacher, I still have a few bags of chocolates in my box! However, she immediately realized that such a comparison seriously deviated from the original intention of doing this, so she immediately turned to seriously thinking about countermeasures.

The first step in coming up with a countermeasure is to find out who provoked her, but this matter cannot be considered a mystery at all. Qi Yun had just finished the remaining three minutes of a class when he had just mentioned these white rabbit toffee, and the perpetrator, Ben Wa, immediately stood up with his signature lazy and sly smile on his face.

"My father and my mother are both working in Shenzhen, this sugar is brought back from Shenzhen, the sugar in Shenzhen is better than the sugar you give, Mr. Qi, you haven't eaten it yet, right? I'll give you one. ”

Ben Wa walked up to the podium and sent a toffee wrapped in oiled paper straight under Qi Yun's nose, Qi Yun was upset by him, and tried his best to resist the ** who wanted to push this little hand away, and said to him as calmly as possible:

"Your father and mother are so good to you, bring candy from Shenzhen to give you food, you should study hard to be worthy of them."

Benwa smiled even more happily, "My father said, it doesn't matter if I learn well or not!" My dad will take me to Shenzhen to work next year, and then I will be able to eat White Rabbit toffee every day! ”

Qi Yun couldn't help but glance at him: "How old are you this year?" 11 or 12 years old? Coming to Shenzhen next year? Which boss who ate leopard gall would dare to use you? ”

Benwa was not convinced, and there was fire in her eyes: "Why not?" Teacher Qi, you don't know these things! Jin Wa in the next village, 12 years old last year, went to work in a factory in Shenzhen with his father, taking care of food and housing, 450 yuan a month, and also issued work clothes and gloves! ”

The surrounding students let out a slight and imperceptible sigh, although Qi Yun was present and could not express their envy for the life described by Ben Wa too directly, but their immature eyes were full of ignorant longing.

Benwa said more and more vigorously in such a gaze: "My father said that reading is useless. People who have not read a book will eat the same meal in a pot for 450 yuan when they arrive at the factory. And if you read too much, you will read your eyes badly, and then you won't be able to see the parts to be grinded, you won't do much work, you won't get money, and you will be fired by the boss! ”

Ben Wa's words made the children more active, and a few boys giggled and asked Ben Wa, what is the fire squid? Benwa pretended to be profound, and twisted and refused to explain to them. Qi Yun was very troubled in his heart, but it was not easy to attack, seeing that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, he had to shout:

"You all give me a moment of silence! Get back to your seats! ”

Qi Yun rarely shouted so sharply, his voice was hoarse, the classmates were stunned for a moment, looked at Benwa, and then looked at Qi Yun who was fluttering, and walked back to their seats slowly one by two and picked up the books.

Qi Yun pressed his temples and taught the children:

"What do you know? 450 dollars a month is a big deal? Would it be great to get a little overalls and gloves? If you study well, get admitted to a good university, and find a good job in the future, you will have a better future! You can stay in the city and work in an office that is warm in the winter and cool in the summer, you can buy your own house and your own car in the city......"

The students' eyes blinked, and one of the boys stood up and interjected:

"My father said that only the secretary of the county party committee can take his own car, Mr. Qi, is it possible that if we read well, we can all be the secretary of the county party committee?"

"Of course! Isn't the secretary of the county party committee assigned to the county organ after graduating from college, and then promoted through hard work? ”

The boy rolled his dark eyes, thought about it, and felt that it made sense, so he sat back in his seat, and eagerly picked up the book and flipped it.

"Wow!" Benwa made a disdainful voice on the side, "The teacher is a liar!" There is only one secretary of the county party committee in a county, where can everyone be the secretary of the county party committee? ”

"Even if you are not the secretary of the county party committee...... Qi Yun bit his cheek and encouraged the children enthusiastically: "Even if you are not the secretary of the county party committee, you will have other similar jobs, and if you work well, you can buy your own car!" ”

The children chattered: "Teacher Qi, do you really have a job that is as good as the secretary of the county party committee?" ”

Qi Yun was about to answer, when suddenly there was a commotion at the door of the classroom, and the eyes of many students in the class gathered from Qi Yun to the door, and some of them gagged and laughed with the back of their hands. Qi Yun hurriedly turned his head, and the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of curved horns, and then a big black nose.

couldn't wait for Qi Yun to react, and with a long, loud "moo" sound, a large, slow-moving, and rickety old scalper appeared in the classroom.

Qi Yun fixed his eyes and recognized that the old and gentle eyes were the old Huang of the Chunsheng family. Lao Huang was now being driven by a bullwhip, and with no way out, he stepped onto Qi Yun's podium, flicked his tail there, and pulled down a lump of grass dung.

Qi Yun was in a hurry, and shouted at the person who drove him behind Lao Huang: "Mother Chunsheng, what are you doing here?" ”

Chunsheng's mother couldn't see the expression on her yellow face, and when she heard Qi Yun ask her, she raised her chin lightly and said in struggling Mandarin:

"I'll send Lao Huang here, and you can kill the cow for me."

"Kill...... What cow? Qi Yun opened his mouth and stammered.

"What if you don't kill?" The voice of the woman who was tortured by life was still indifferent, "Everyone in the village knows that Chunsheng's father went to the city to work two years ago, and he sent money back in the first half a year, but later he saw neither money nor people, and they all said that he had a good relationship in the city, leaving us orphans and widows." That's it, my body is sick again, not only can I not work, I even struggle to get off the kang all day long, the cow is not killed, and no one at home puts it. ”

Only then did Qi Yun understand which one Chunsheng's mother was singing, and couldn't help but say aggrievedly:

"Then you can't let Chunsheng go to school just to herd cattle, and you have to think about the future of the baby!"

Chunsheng's mother even squeezed out a smile, and that smile was colder than the ice and snow in February.

"It's not that I don't want to have a baby's future, it's just that I can't get the cows at home, and I can't get the fields at home. Otherwise, it's better to kill the cow now, and sell the beef, which can still be used for Chunsheng to learn in the first half of the year...... So, I sent Lao Huang here. ”

After Chunsheng's mother finished speaking, none of the classmates in the class coaxed, thinking that everyone was familiar with this kind of life, and they were related, Qi Yun hadn't figured out how to answer, but Ben Wa broke the silence of the classroom with a "tsk".

Once again, he succeeded in attracting the attention of everyone in the classroom, and Benwa shook her head proudly:

"Teacher Qi coaxed us just now! said that as long as we study hard, we can all become the secretary of the county party committee. 450 dollars is not a big deal...... But is Mr. Qi a college graduate? After graduating from college, why didn't you live a good life in the city and drive a car, but instead went to our poor place to teach? It just so happened that Mr. Qi killed a cow and showed us how people who graduated from college killed cows, what is the difference between them and our rural people? ”

Qi Yun was speechless under questioning. Who said that naïve cruelty is the ultimate cruelty in the world? For a time, bitterness, resentment, grievance, loneliness, helplessness, and disappointment...... All kinds of tastes came to her heart, and she bit her lower lip, and a salty smell spread in her mouth. The classroom was in chaos, Benwa was still waiting for her to reply, the students in the classroom were staring at her and expecting her to give a convincing answer, Chunsheng's mother was still unhurriedly whipping Lao Huang with a whip, Lao Huang stumbled towards Qi Yun, Chunsheng ran to the podium, and persuaded his mother to go home with red eyes...... Qi Yun's mind was buzzing, and a hot, numb, and spicy air flow rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head; She pressed her hands to the lectern to support her body, but her hands trembled as if they were not her own; She also tried her best to hold back her tears, until her eyes were so sore that she could barely lift her eyelids.

There was a quiet stalemate for a few seconds, maybe a dozen seconds, and the classroom gradually fell silent. Everyone noticed Qi Yun's obviously strange expression. The children seemed a little taboo and lowered their heads; Chunsheng's mother still looked blank, but she no longer used a bullwhip to drive Lao Huang to continue to encroach on the territory of the podium; Even Ben Wa twisted her face away in a sneer, not looking at Qi Yun.

Qi Yun took a few deep breaths:

"You don't need me to teach, do you? Okay, then I won't teach it yet! What's the big deal?! ”

Qi Yun suddenly exerted all the strength of his body and overturned the already shaky podium, and the tears that had been stored for a long time could no longer be held back, and he burst into an earth-shattering cry.

This cry is like Sun Wukong's immobilization method, so that all the students and parents in the classroom are frozen in an instant. Everyone looked at this female teacher in the city who was usually quiet and beautiful, and often blushed when she spoke, they always thought she was like a porcelain doll, cute but unreal, I didn't expect her to have such a big temper, I didn't expect her to be like a rural woman when she was in a hurry!

The classroom was silent for a long time, and finally it was Yuqin who stood up hesitantly and said softly:

"Teacher Qi, don't cry...... Me, I, I...... I still have Chinese cabbage at home......"

This kind persuasion obviously didn't work, Qi Yun grinned and cried "wow" again, covered his face and rushed out of the door. When Benwa came back to her senses and ran out of the classroom, Qi Yun's figure had disappeared without a trace.
