Text Text_Chapter 550 Hope and Disappointment
Hearing that the old village chief brought the topic to this issue, Lin Gang's heart moved, he remained silent on the surface, pretended not to hear half of it, and continued to drink pheasant soup without a sip on the side.
But in fact, Lin Gang's attention was on Mu Yanbing.
From Lin Gang's point of view, he didn't want Mu Yanbing to stay here, and the reason why he agreed to bring her here was also in his heart, let her see the harsh environment here, and then let her retreat by herself.
In Lin Gang's opinion, Mu Yanbing would definitely not stay here.
The reason is very simple, what kind of life did Mu Yanbing live before? What kind of life would you live if you stayed here? People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. This is an eternal truth.
But no one will let go of a comfortable life and run to the poor ravine to beg for hardship.
Mu Yanbing groaned for a while, and did not immediately return to the old village chief's words.
Although the old village chief has been in this Nalin village all his life, this does not mean that he does not understand anything. On the contrary, the older a person gets, the more he cultivates his ability to observe words and emotions to the point of perfection, although Mu Yanbing did not directly refuse, but looking at her appearance, the old village chief already knows it in his heart.
She definitely didn't want to stay...... Even if you promise to stay, you will definitely leave quietly like the teachers you did a few times before.
The old village chief sighed silently in his heart, put the cigarette pouch on his mouth and smoked it again.
"Hehe, old village chief, your craftsmanship is getting better and better."
Seeing the atmosphere in the room, it suddenly became embarrassing, Lin Gang hurriedly started a round on the side and shifted the topic to the side, "I almost swallowed my tongue in my stomach, hehe......" Before his words fell, suddenly, the door curtain moved.
But it was the child just now, who went and returned, and behind him, there was a little girl with two little pigtails, and like him, this little girl also had a dirty face.
"Huh?"
Hearing the movement behind him, the old village chief looked back, suddenly froze, and said in surprise: "Sanmaozai, Erya, what are you two doing here?" ”
Sanmaozi and Erya, hearing these two names, Mu Yanbing could guess that these two children must be sisters and brothers. In the rural areas of Huaxia, the concept of having a boy is very strong, and many families can have five or six children for the purpose of wanting a boy.
Obviously, if you don't guess wrong, this Erya must be Sanmaozai's sister because you can see it from the name.
However, if you look at it purely from the outside, it is difficult to tell the difference. Because perhaps the only boy in the family, Sanmaozi looks older than the skinny Erya.
“…… You, are you the teacher who came to teach us to read? ”
Sanmaozi ignored the village chief's question, but looked at Mu Yanbing with staring eyes, it was obvious that Mu Yanbing's act of giving him a candy cube just now won his trust. At a young age, he decided that Mu Yanbing was a good person.
So I had the audacity to ask.
The second girl on the side did not speak, but she also looked at Mu Yanbing with blank eyes.
“……”
Seeing the eyes of these two children, Mu Yanbing's heart was shocked. She suddenly remembered that when she was in the welfare home and knew that there was a teacher to teach her knowledge, she was also very eager in her heart, perhaps, her appearance back then was exactly the same as the three hairies and the two people in front of her now!
In an instant, Mu Yanbing remembered the night before he left Zhongzhou City.
“…… Before I first came to Nalin Village, I wanted to do my part here, and I couldn't shake my original intention because of the harsh environment here...... Besides, if Narin Village has everything and everything, then do I need to do my part here? ”
Thinking of this, the last trace of hesitation in Mu Yanbing's heart disappeared. She smiled slightly, stood up, walked to Erya and Sanmaozai, squatted down gently, and did not dislike the two children because of the dirty faces and bodies, on the contrary, she also stretched out her hand and gently wiped the faces of the two children.
"Well, that's right, I'm the teacher who came to teach you how to read."
Mu Yanbing looked at Sanmaozi with a smile, and a pair of beautiful eyes narrowed, "Your name is Sanmaozai?" ”
"Hmm." Sanmaozi nodded.
"What's your name? How old are you this year? Mu Yanbing continued to ask, she wanted to see how this child would answer.
"My name is Wang Sanmao, and I am 10 years old this year!"
Sanmaozi said loudly and proudly, as if ten years old was like a very remarkable age.
"You're 10 years old?"
Hearing his answer, Mu Yanbing was stunned for a moment, originally, she thought that Sanmaozi was only six or seven years old at most, but she didn't expect that he was already ten years old...... Obviously, the environment here has greatly affected his growth and development.
"You're a sister, aren't you? How old are you this year? 11 years old? Or 12 years old? ”
Mu Yanbing thought in his heart and looked at Erya on the side.
"Teacher, I'm 12 years old." Erya whispered. Compared with the naivety of Sanmaozai, Erya is undoubtedly more "stable and mature", quite a little adult.
"Can you write your name?" Mu Yanbing asked again.
Erya hesitated for a moment, looked at the old village chief on the side involuntarily, and then stretched out a finger and wrote crookedly on the dusty ground, Wang Erya three words.
"Great, well written!" Mu Yanbing's beautiful eyes lit up with a light, she touched the top of Erya's head lovingly, and said to them with a smile: "Are there many friends in your village who have not gone to school?" ”
"Many!"
Sanmaozi said a word first, and raised his hand in a decent manner, as if answering a question in class, staring at Mu Yanbing with bright eyes, and said: "None of the maids and dogs next door to us have gone to school. ”
"Hehe, okay, I got it." Mu Yanbing's pretty face showed a hint of a smile, took out a handful of sugar cubes from his pocket, gave a few sugar cubes to Er Ya and Sanmaozi respectively, and said with a smile: "Okay, you guys go home, remember to give some sugar cubes to other friends." ”
"yes, I see. This is called Kong Rong Rang Pear. Sanmaozi said in a decent way.
His innocent and funny words made Mu Yanbing laugh amusedly, "This is not called Kong Rong to make pears, hehe." ”
"Teacher Liu taught us before." Sanmaozi said unconvinced: "Let the good things be shared with others, this is called Kong Rong to make pears!" ”
Mu Yanbing, Lin Gang and others, when they heard his words, they couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, just call Kong Rong to make pears, okay, Sanmaozai!" Mu Yanbing patted his head with a smile, "Okay, you go back, we have to discuss things." ”
"Well, okay, goodbye, teacher."
Hearing her words, Sanmaozai nodded, clenched the sugar in his palm tightly, and walked hand in hand with Erya to the outside of the house, and when he walked to the door curtain, he suddenly stopped, turned to look at Mu Yanbing, and asked seriously: "Teacher, will we be able to study and go to class tomorrow?" ”
"Tomorrow?"
Mu Yan paused for a moment, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow, it is estimated that it will take a few days, and when the time comes, I will tell your parents." ”
"Oh!" The two children nodded as if they didn't understand and walked out.
After they went out, the old village chief looked at Mu Yanbing and asked tentatively, "Teacher Mu, what do you mean?" Decided you want to stay and teach them to read? To be honest, he didn't have much hope for this.
Because Mu Yanbing is too young and beautiful.
If it were another person of some age and mediocre appearance, the old village chief would definitely not suspect it.
Even if he hadn't seen much of the world, the old village chief knew in his heart that a character like Mu Yanbing would definitely not stoop to stay in a small mountain village like Narin Village, where birds don't.
"Well, that's right, I figured it out, I'm going to stay here and teach these kids to read and learn music!"
Mu Yanbing nodded, and said something that made the old village chief and Lin Gang stunned.
“…… What the? ”
I have to say that Mu Yanbing's words are really a little too shocking and incredible. So much so that the old village chief had the idea of doubting whether his ears were wrong.
"I said, I'm willing to stay, stay here, and teach these kids to read. Be their teacher. ”
Seeing the old village chief's stunned look, Mu Yanbing restrained his smile and replied with a serious face.
"Miss Mu, are you sure you're serious?"
Hearing her words, Lin Gang on the side came back to his senses and looked at her incredulously, "Do you know how simple the environment here is?" There is nothing here, no water, electricity, no internet, not even a small shop, if you want to buy a bag of salt, you have to go to the county seat more than 100 kilometers to buy it...... All in all, I hope you think it through. ”
"Mr. Lin is right."
The old village chief on the side took a deep breath of his cigarette pouch, knocked it the ground, and said in a low voice: "Teacher Mu, I also hope that you will think about it again, and then make a decision." ”
Hearing the words of the old village chief, Mu Yanbing was stunned for a moment, Lin Gang persuaded himself, this is not uncommon, and it is reasonable, but the old village chief actually echoed his words and persuaded himself to consider it carefully, which made Mu Yanbing a little surprised.
You know, if you stay here as a teacher, the people of Narin Village should be happy.
"Teacher Mu, do you think it's a little strange?"
Seeing Mu Yanbing looking at him with a look of surprise, the old village chief smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, I hope you can stay here and teach the children to read, but in comparison, I hope that if you can't give them hope, then please don't disappoint them......
