Zhengjia Village should be the largest village within a radius of dozens of miles, so it basically assumes the role of Ansan Town, although it is only a village, it seems to be more lively than the town. There is a primary school at the entrance of the village, and the school has been on winter vacation at this time, so the school is empty, but there are still bursts of reading in the classroom.

"Go in and see? Is it still in class at this time? Didn't you say that you won't be allowed to make up classes during the holidays? Zhong Han glanced at Lian Yundong and said.

"This should be an interest class, leader, you listen, the teaching is English, it should not be a formal class."

The two of them slowly paced to the back of the classroom, where a young woman in a red down jacket stood on the podium, holding a whip in one hand and a book in the other, leading a large group of children of all sizes to read words.

The young woman also noticed that someone was peeking out of the back window, so she pointed to a child in front of her who stood up and led everyone to read, while she put down her whip and textbook and walked out, just blocking Lian Yundong and Zhonghan in the corridor at the back of the classroom.

"Who are you? What for? ”

"We, we're just looking, hey, by the way, isn't it now that we don't make up for the winter vacation? Why did you start classes again, I'm not afraid that the Education Bureau will punish you. Lian Yundong said preemptively.

The woman in red frowned and said, "You are from the Education Bureau?" This is fresh, I don't come all year round, it's almost the New Year, and I want to collect any money, I can tell you, I don't have more money, if not, just deduct it from my salary, these children won't pay you. The woman in red said a little aggrieved, but there was a bit of a begging flavor in it.

Zhong Han also heard the taste, there must be something that the Education Bureau wanted to eat and take the card, so he asked: "Are you saying that the people from the Education Bureau have come to collect fees, isn't it that the teaching materials are free and the tuition fees are all free?" Joonghan's tone was full of disdain.

"This gentleman, what are you doing, if there is nothing to do, I will go to class, if you are fined, deduct it from my salary, the parents of these children are working in other places, it is good to talk about it when it comes to class, when it comes to the holidays, it will become a wild horse, running around, their parents have not come back, they are afraid that something will happen during this time, so they gather to learn something, more to see the children, you can do what you like, anyway, I don't plan to come back after the New Year." The woman in red was about to turn around and leave.

Zhong Han glanced at Lian Yundong and made a look, Lian Yundong stepped forward and said: "Teacher Hong, don't be in a hurry to leave, it's like this, this is the county magistrate of our Haiyang County, come down today to see the villagers, walk here, I heard someone studying in the school, so come in and take a look, Teacher Hong, it seems that you are not a local." Lian Yundong began to say almost.

"And who are you?"

"Oh, I'm Lian Yundong, I work as a secretary for the county magistrate, and the county magistrate wants to know about the teaching situation in rural primary schools, can I come to your office and sit down."

The woman in red looked at Lian Yundong and then at Zhong Han who was standing next to him, Lian Yundong's temperament couldn't see anything, but Zhong Han had been soaked in the government unit for many years, and he naturally had the temperament of a superior person, but Lian Yundong was like a little ruffian.

"Then you wait, I'll go and talk to the students and make arrangements."

With that, the woman in red left.

"Dadong, how do you know her surname is Hong?" Joonghan was a little puzzled.

"Isn't that in red?"

"Ahem, you kid, she wears red clothes, her surname is red, you can really talk nonsense." Joonghan didn't believe it.

"Leader, really, I don't believe that if you ask her later, I will look at the appearance, an old Taoist priest taught me, and I can see it accurately." Lian Yundong said nonsense.

After a while, the woman in red came back, and saw that Lian Yundong and the two of them were still standing in place, and her heart was much more steady, because she really didn't know what these two people were doing, so she also arranged for a few older boys to follow behind, and if something happened, it would be good for these students to go to the village to call people.

"Let's go, two, the office is in front."

"Okay, what's your surname?" Zhong Han really opened his mouth to verify.

"Your surname is Hong, Hong Xiaoyu, hey, by the way, this gentleman, did we know each other before? How do you know my surname is Hong? Hong Xiaoyu turned around and asked Lian Yundong.

"Well, guess?" Lian Yundong smiled slyly, Zhong Han also thought that this thing was quite magical, but he thought more that it was Lian Yundong's blind cat touching a dead mouse.

In fact, this is Lian Yundong's trickery, when the two of them turned to the mezzanine at the back of the classroom to watch the class, Lian Yundong noticed that there was a blackboard newspaper on the gable wall of the classroom, which seemed to have just been drawn before the holiday, and there was a column in it: Teacher Hong's message. So even Yundong is not nonsense.

The office is really small because there is only a desk and a chair in it, and the students' papers and homework are placed on the newspaper on the floor.

"Two gentlemen, I'm really sorry, I really can't sit here, why don't we talk outside the door, Xiaohu, and then go to the classroom to move a bench." Hong Xiaoyu said to a boy behind him.

"Is Mr. Hong the official teacher here?" Joonghan asked.

"No, I'm here to teach, I'm from Longjiang City, it turns out that there is a teacher here, who has long passed the age of retirement, but a person with more than 100 children, divided into four grades, after all, I am old, I don't have this energy, after I came, he wanted me to stay, he retreated, but it was not too late, in October last year, he suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died in the school office, it was this office, it turned out that we worked together." Hong Xiaoyu said with tears in his eyes.

Zhong Han clenched his fists as he listened, and his bones turned white, he really couldn't imagine that at this time, there would be such a thing under his rule.

"Teacher Hong, you just said that you won't come here after the New Year, what's going on, will there be no teacher to teach these children in the future?" Lian Yundong asked.

"Even the secretary, I have been teaching here for three years, and I came here to teach as soon as I graduated, my boyfriend works in the provincial capital, and has given me an ultimatum, either go back or break up, I, although I am reluctant to them, but I have no choice, you look at such conditions, what can I do? The desks and benches in the classroom are all brought by the students themselves, and they have to bring them back after the winter vacation, to put it too far, only the desk and chair in my office in this school are from the school, and the others are only this house and this yard. ”

"Is there a bigger school around here?"

"No, within a radius of ten miles, Zhengjia Village is the largest, and there are five or six village children who go to school here." Hong Xiaoyu was also a little embarrassed to say that she would not come back in the New Year, and she hadn't told these children about not coming back in the New Year, because she really couldn't open her mouth when she saw their eyes seeking knowledge.

People are telling the truth, and they have been teaching here for so long, and they also have their own lives, and Zhong Han and Lian Yundong are not good at saying anything.

"It seems that our county has a great shortage of teachers." Zhong Han couldn't help but sigh and said.

"County magistrate, I said something that shouldn't be said, in fact, there is no shortage of teachers in Haiyang County, only the lack of teachers is the rural school, it turns out that there are five teachers in this school, I heard that those who have a relationship are looking for opportunities to transfer away, so when I came, there was only one teacher in Lao Liang." Hong Xiaoyu said.

"Transferred? Where to transfer? ”

"I don't know where to transfer specifically, it's nothing more than the town or the county seat, I heard that the teachers in the county only teach one class each, how easy it is, there are more than 20 people in a class, I also heard that because there are many teachers in the county school, they are all on a rotational basis, but we lack teachers here, lack of desks and stools, lack of teaching tools, anyway, here are the four walls of the family."

Zhong Han looked at Lian Yundong, does that mean have you heard of it? Lian Yundong really heard such a thing for the first time, so he shook his head, he really hadn't heard of it, it turned out that the teachers in these rural schools were transferred to the city with connections, no wonder there were no teachers in the countryside.

"Teacher Hong, thank you for these words today, and thank you for your contribution to the education of Ocean County in the past few years, in fact, to say something unkind, I really hope that you can stay here, these children need high-quality teachers like you, they can have a good future under your education, in order to get out of the mountains, so, I have a reluctant request, I hope you can stay as the principal of this school, I will immediately understand the education situation of the county after I go back, and also, your tables, chairs and benches here will be equipped with new ones immediately, Children must not be allowed to bring their own desks to school after the year, Mr. Hong, please consider my request. It is rare for Zhong Han to say such emotional words, and he feels very deeply today, so these words seem to be very infectious.

"County magistrate, I thank you for these children, I will seriously consider your suggestion, really, thank you." Hong Xiaoyu knew that as long as the county magistrate agreed, she should be able to solve this matter, as long as she could solve the matter of tables, chairs and benches, the big stone in her heart would fall to the ground.

Although Zhengjia Village is large, it is dilapidated, and the houses built in the mountains are built according to the terrain, so Zhengjia Village is scattered on the entire sunny hillside, a few households here, and a few families there.

"Since you're here, let's go in and have a look." Joonghan looked at the sky and said.

The two walked all the way to the village, this time is the time of farming, the streets of the village are standing in twos and threes people blowing cowhides, these people are working outside to come back early, and then ten days will be the Spring Festival, and the village will be more lively at that time.

"Fellow, where is the hospital?" Joonghan asked.

"Hospital? We don't have a hospital here, no. A young man said as he puffed out the cigarette in his mouth.

"Is there a health room, get some cold medicine." Lian Yundong asked.

"Oh, you mean Cao Laogou, the barefoot doctor, walk forward from here, about five hundred meters, there is a tiled house, there is no sign, you can inquire when you arrive."
