27. Left-behind children

The beauty is afraid of wolves, Wang Junyi, Liu Yinfeng and Huang Chaoyang have repeatedly enlightened Hao Chunlai on how to entangle the cuckoo, but Hao Chunlai is like an elm pimple, but he doesn't open his mind, but he doesn't feel comfortable when he sees the cuckoo like he has done something wrong, which makes several enthusiastic people feel that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry.

On the eve of the Qingming Festival, I heard that Yu Chengjun, the eldest brother of Yu Chengming, came back to the old grave, this is the director of the finance bureau of Xicheng County, Du Xiaoming decided to meet Huang Chaoyang with this "God of Wealth".

In a farmhouse restaurant in the village, Yu Chengming set a table full of dishes, Yu Chengjun was very kind, not as majestic as in the flash of the county TV station, he shook hands with Du Xiaoming very kindly: "I have long heard that there is a young principal from the school, who is pragmatic and upright. ”

Du Xiaoming said with a smile; "Serving the people is just doing your duty."

"The sea sails by the helmsman, a good principal is a good school, the key is that you have a good reputation in this village for more than half a year."

"The leader is really good at complimenting, and I still have a lot of things that I haven't done well."

"In the sketch, it is said that the gold tablet and silver cup are not as good as the reputation of the common people, to be honest, my relatives must have caused you a lot of trouble when you work here."

"When I said this, I saw the outside, and they all supported it."

Afterwards, the atmosphere of the dinner was very harmonious, and the topic ranged from Diaoyu Islands in Japan to a sentence in the front Kangzhong: "Vitality adds power to love." Everyone laughed and exploded, Du Xiaoming seemed to be out of the way, and took the initiative to frequently clink glasses with everyone to open up the circle.

The wine was in full swing, and during Yu Chengjun's toilet, Huang Chaoyang whispered: "Principal, don't drink too much, we are mainly fighting for funds for the school. ”

"Nonsense is also productivity, we have to talk nonsense vividly and lively, so that leaders feel at home, you know?"

"I'm dizzy after a while, how can I talk about work?"

"Eating and not talking about work, leaders have a sense of proportion in their hearts."

After Yu Chengjun came back, Yu Chengming took a big wine glass, walked up to Du Xiaoming, and "lala" to a big cup, half a catty and said: "Principal Du, don't have rich eyes, we usually shout that you drink and you always shirk it, but when the leader comes back, you throw off your arms and shout to break your throat, you give a Buddha face today, don't look down on me as a little soldier." ”

Du Xiaoming was embarrassed and at a loss, this was clearly a depth charge, Yu Chengjun's face suddenly turned green, and he said sharply; "Fame, what do you say, people are giving us face."

"Brother, they are afraid of you, I am not afraid, the principal is to give you face, when will he give me face, today in front of everyone he drank this glass of wine, it is considered to give face." Yu became famous and said unrelentingly.

"You still have to save face, and you have this virtue when you drink." Yu Chengjun went to grab the wine glass.

In order not to save everyone's face, Du Xiaoming took the wine glass and swallowed it in one gulp. In the lyrics, "A cup and two pots, drinking two eyes." At this time, Du Xiaoming really experienced the painful feeling of spicy wine stinging eyes, but he instantly adjusted his emotions and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Everyone sits, and becoming famous also wants me to increase my excitement." ”

Yu Chengming was bored with himself, and hurried back to his seat, Yu Chengjun's firepower immediately shot at him: "Look at the principal of the school, the sea is inclusive, what do people care about you, have you said bad things, and you are a teacher, all day long with a group of depressed people like green flies, drinking and smoking, accusing the society, accusing this and that, it seems that it is not fair, it seems that you have the ability, as a leader of the school, you should think more from the perspective of the unit and the leader, and take the initiative to solve problems for the leader, You should deal with people who are better than you. Do you know that I have nowhere to put my face when I see you like this, and all day long your friends call me and sue the school for this is not good, that is not good, and take my name to the town to complain, I am annoyed when I think about it, what is it that is purely trivial, you are embarrassing me, and you are not responsible for these things that happen to the school? ”

Yu Chengming's face turned red instantly, and he hummed and said, "Brother, I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy." ”

The meal could not continue in this situation, Du Xiaoming said in a round game: "Fame has done a good job this year, let's drink tea and not drink." ”

Yu Chengjun was still very angry: "He likes to be clever, but the result is always self-defeating, sometimes he has to clean up, as long as he is good at work." ”

"The ability to become famous is still very strong, it's okay, it's okay, Director Yu, I want to ask you to do something today." Du Xiaoming said tentatively.

Yu Chengjun smiled slightly: "If you have something to say, don't go around in circles." ”

"There are 34 left-behind children in our school, these parents leave their children to be taken care of by the elderly, go out to work, 18 single-parent children, some of the children's mothers go out to work, and never come back, some are the father died of serious illness, and the father of two children died in the coal mine, and the mother took the money without a trace, all of them were taken care of by the elderly. 18 families in particularly difficult circumstances, some relatives are mute, some relatives are paralyzed, terminally ill, the superior according to the proportion of room and board in the school divided 22 "one supplement" places, these are all blamed for the pitiful, others do not enjoy it is still very difficult, the county is not there a "surrogate mother" activity, see if you can help? In addition, the school toilet is outside, and it is particularly unsafe for students to cross a road to go to the toilet, so we can see if it can be solved. ”

"I have also heard a lot about difficult students, after all, the family structure of the people in the mountainous areas is complex, and the income is low, I understand it, and I want to help, I don't know how to start, so let's ask these students to write an application and hand it over to me next week, I can't do this in our unit, otherwise there is a suspicion of using power for personal gain, after all, it is my hometown, I find some friends from the enterprise to act as an agent, but in the ugly words, the number of places can not be too much, one or twenty can. As for the toilet country's 'off-campus toilet renovation' project, I immediately negotiated with the Education and Sports Bureau to solve it as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you leader, it's really worthy of others saying that the boss is difficult, the boss is difficult, and it is not difficult for the boss to come forward, and the burden in my heart will be lifted with your words."

"The people of the whole village, including me, should thank you, you are fighting for our tavern, to be honest, when I hear that others ask me to do something, my scalp is numb, many people do things for public use, and you are indeed for the public, I am happy to do something for the hometown school, after all, this is my alma mater."

Everyone in the circle nodded thoughtfully and smiled.

At night, as soon as Du Xiaoming fell asleep, Gao Shujuan called again, her tongue was obviously hard, and she said bluntly; "You know, yesterday my man went out to gamble, and at night the man from the mine above the school got drunk and climbed over the courtyard wall to pester me, and I picked up a brick and smashed it on his leg, and the man scolded and said, I must have slept with you. When the man came back, I told the man, and the man said that people are so rich, so they can just hide in the future. Tonight, the man found fault and quarreled with me, saying that I was cheap, that I owed to sleep with a man. The man slapped my face and went out to gamble again, why am I so unsuccessful, I really want to die, I really want to die, woo woo 、、、、、、"

Gao Shujuan's cry poured out like a torrent of waterfall on the other end of the phone, making all the sleepiness go away.

The mobile phone stopped in vain, and Du Xiaoming couldn't get through, although it kept "beeping" ringing.

For fear of causing trouble outside the festival, Du Xiaoming called Liu Yinfeng.

Liu Yinfeng shouted back to the man and smashed the door open, Gao Shujuan was drunk, asleep, and drank a bottle of wine. Du Xiaoming scolded in his heart, what is this, if there is a three-long and two-short talk with Gao Shujuan, it is really unclear and unclear, and then set Gao Shujuan's number to a blacklist.

On Monday morning, when fifth-grader Zhang Xiaopeng didn't show up at school, Du Juan called home and an old lady said slowly, "Oh, he's going to school early in the morning." ”

"He didn't come to school, and he didn't see his classmates when he asked him. ”

The old lady said, "Where can I go?" I'll look for it. ”

Du Juan interrogated a few more students, but there were no clues at all, so he had to let Huang Chaoyang take him along the way to look around, until Zhang Xiaopeng's house was nowhere to be found, the neighbor said: "Zhang Xiaopeng's parents have gone to SH to work, leaving only grandma to take care of him, his grandma went to his aunt's house to find him, you can go to school with peace of mind, and when they come back, I will let them hurry back to school." ”

Du Juan and Huang Chaoyang had no choice but to go back to school.

On this day, Zhang Xiaopeng's whereabouts kept the teacher's heart until 8 o'clock in the night, Du Xiaoming finally couldn't bear it anymore, called Zhang Xiaopeng's grandmother, and asked Zhang Xiaopeng's whereabouts. Grandma Zhang Xiaopeng said that it had been an hour since she came back, Du Xiaoming wanted to complain to her a few words, why didn't she make a phone call to tell the school when she came back, she didn't know how worried the teachers were, but thinking about the old man after all, he would definitely not think about it so much, just wanted to hang up the phone, Grandma Zhang Xiaopeng begged and said: "Principal, come to my house quickly, I can't keep my grandson, he still has to run." ”

Outside is no longer visible, Zhang Xiaopeng's house has to walk 500 meters of mountain road, Du Xiaoming wanted to excuse himself, but he still endured it and said: "You appease him first, we will go immediately." ”

In May, everything was full of life, all kinds of monsters also appeared, and several teachers said that they were unwilling to go, so to say, Wang Junyi was very reluctant to go with a flashlight.

At night, the glimmer of the flashlight seemed weak, and occasionally a hare sprang out of the roadside scared the two people into a trembling ass, Wang Junyi regretted that he should drink some wine when he left, which could strengthen his courage and numb the timid nerves.

walked non-stop to Zhang Xiaopeng's house, the dim light in the house was lonely and bright, a bowl of instant noodles was lying on the table without heat, Zhang Xiaopeng sat on the ground without raising his head. Zhang Xiaopeng's grandmother couldn't stop wiping her tears, and when she saw that the teacher was coming, she didn't give up her seat or pour water, and said straight to the point: "You see my grandson, who said he was going to school early in the morning, but he hid under the bridge pier for a day, and he was probably scared at night that he came back, I asked him where he went today, and he said he went to school." I said that the teacher called and said that you didn't go to school for a day, and he softened, you see that his body is sticky with mud, I cooked instant noodles for him, and asked him to go back to school after eating, but he didn't eat, like a dead pig, he pulled up a bunch and threw it on the ground, I really had no way to take him. ”

Du Xiaoming asked, "Do his parents know?" ”

"His parents have gone to SH to work, I want to tell them, can they work with peace of mind?"

"This is your old man's fault, the grandson has three long and two short, the son doesn't blame you, the daughter-in-law is different."

"They dare, I worked hard to feed their children, if they blame me, the sky will thunder."

Du Xiaoming was amused, Wang Junyi questioned Zhang Xiaopeng sharply, and said, "Zhang Xiaopeng, tell the teacher, why don't you go to school today?" ”

Zhang Xiaopeng didn't say a word, Wang Junyi grabbed his arm and shook him up, and said, "Why can't you do the opposite, you don't speak when the teacher asks you, be careful that I slap you over." ”

Du Xiaoming motioned for Wang Junyi to stop teaching, walked up to Zhang Xiaopeng, gently stroked his little head and said, "You are a sensible big boy, do you know how worried you are about you when you don't go to school today?" You Teacher Du often praise you for being a good boy in front of me, do you miss your parents if you don't go to school today? ”

Zhang Xiaopeng bit his lip and nodded.

"Do you want to hear your father?"

Zhang Xiaopeng nodded.

"Tell me your dad's number, then I'll call your dad's number, and you can talk to dad, okay?" Du Xiaoming took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

Grandma Zhang Xiaopeng hurriedly said: "139-------"

"Auntie, listen to Xiaopeng." Wang Junyi said.

Zhang Xiaopeng finally raised his head and said, "139-------"

Du Xiaoming dialed the number and put the mobile phone on Zhang Xiaopeng's ear, and after a long while, a lazy male voice came from inside: "Who, do you still let people sleep?" ”

"Dad-" Zhang Xiaopeng cried "wow", as if he was crying all the fear and hunger under the bridge for a day.

"Pengpeng, what's wrong, who bullied you, tell Dad, Dad will never spare him, Pengpeng." The voice on the other end was anxious and poignant.

Zhang Xiaopeng only choked up, quite sad, Du Xiaoming took the phone and said: "You are Zhang Xiaopeng's father, I am Zhang Xiaopeng's teacher, he skipped school today and drilled under the bridge pier all day, I am in your house." ”

"Hey, hello teacher, I see that Xiao Ming has caused you trouble again, this ignorant child, I will definitely clean him up when I go back."

"Zhang Xiaopeng is an obedient child, I want to ask how often you call him?"

"This β€”β€”, teacher, you also know that long-distance distances are too expensive, and it is not easy for us to make money." The other party said in a rambling manner.

"Children's growth needs the care of their parents, not just to make money, regardless of the healthy growth of children, you see that children are now truant problems, you have to pay attention in time."

"Yes, yes, teacher, you reminded me." He said, "We'll call him once a week." ”

"That's right, not only do you have to call, but you also have to come back from time to time to warm your child." Du Xiaoming instructed.

Hung up the phone, Zhang Xiaopeng's expression became vivid, grandma quickly heated his meal, maybe he didn't eat a day and he ate it all after three or five to two, Zhang Xiaopeng's grandmother said: "It's really that mice are born afraid of cats, students are born afraid of teachers, he never listens to me at home, and he will be obedient as soon as you come." ”

Wang Junyi and Du Xiaoming smiled, watched Zhang Xiaopeng finish eating, and pulled him back to school to live, Zhang Xiaopeng refused to live or die, grandma pushed his ass hard on the side, and said: "My little ancestor, you want to make me angry to death, the phone has been called, and the meal has been eaten, you are guarding my old woman at home, is it not a way?" ”

Du Xiaoming roughly estimated the child's thoughts, let go, and said, "Did you not do your homework on Sunday?" ”

Zhang Xiaopeng's face was red like an August persimmon, and he nodded for a long time.

Zhang Xiaopeng's grandmother was furious at the time, and said: "You knife, as soon as you get home, I will urge you to do your homework, you said that you wrote it in school, and you didn't write your homework for a long time before you escaped school." ”

Wang Junyi said: "Auntie, this responsibility is not all to blame on the child, the key is that the problem of the child does not appear in a day or two, you should have discovered his signs a long time ago." ”

"He was like this two years ago, he didn't come out of the and fart, he didn't talk about it, he was still a nonsense." The old man trembled angrily.

Du Xiaoming saw that it was getting late, and said: "Auntie, we educate children not only to educate children how to learn, but also to teach children the ability to be a person and do things. ”

Then, he touched Zhang Xiaopeng's head and said: "Xiaopeng, today you know where you are wrong, you can't do this in the future, you didn't do your homework on Sunday, make up for it in time at school, I will tell the teacher, this matter will not be investigated, can you go back to school with the teacher now?" ”

Zhang Xiaopeng nodded quickly, and the three of them returned to school with flashlights.

This is a problem for left-behind children, but how schools can pay attention to these children and make them grow up healthy is indeed a headache.

At night, Du Xiaoming and several teachers took care of the overnight students in the multimedia classroom to watch a 40s Anti-Japanese War film, Lu Xiaohe walked in and signaled Du Xiaoming to go out, Lu Xiaohe said: "You go to see Huang Chaoyang, you have to drink all day long, always get yourself drunk, and then go crazy with yourself, it will hurt your body if you go on like this, I persuaded him to scold me instead, I am really annoying." ”

Huang Chaoyang sat on the bed in the living room, his drunken eyes were hazy, his eyelids drooped, his eyelids were red like burning clouds, shaking his head, his mouth was spitting wine, and he was muttering something, looking fluttering.

Du Xiaoming said: "Teacher Huang, Teacher Huang. ”

Huang Chaoyang opened his eyes for a while, glanced at Du Xiaoming, shook his head and said, "Principal, principal, drink, drink." ”

Du Xiaoming looked at him like this, and echoed: "Drink, drink." ”

As soon as Huang Chaoyang heard him say this, he immediately stood up, pointed to Lu Xiaohe, his tongue was stiff, and he said in a slur manner: "Go, go to the outside store to buy wine for the principal - and me, we are one - drunk Fang Xiu, one drunk - Fang Xiu." ”

Lu Xiaohe glanced at Du Xiaoming and said, "You see that he is still in human form when he drinks, I am washing the dishes after eating, he secretly went to buy a bottle, drank it all the time, and now he still has to drink, if it weren't for school, I would have ——。 ”

"If you can't do it, you can buy me wine." Huang Chaoyang's hands snapped on the table.

Du Xiaoming thought that tomorrow he would wake up from wine and his palms would hurt, he would definitely not know what was going on, he gave Lu Xiaohe a look, and pointed to the empty wine bottle and teacup with his finger, Lu Xiaohe immediately understood, and quickly hid the empty wine bottle in the corner of the wall into his clothes and left.

Huang Chaoyang was still spitting wine and shouted: "If you don't listen to me, I'll clean you up." ”

Du Xiaoming moved a chair for both of them to sit down, and said, "Teacher Huang, sister-in-law will bring wine in a while, let's drink." ”

Huang Chaoyang sat down very obediently and said, "Okay, drink." Then he shook his head comfortably.

Du Xiaoming knew that he had always been very strong, and he would not use alcohol to anesthetize himself, and he must not have come out of the shadow of his father's death, so he said tentatively: "Teacher Huang, Uncle Huang is gone, everyone in this family has to rely on you, you are the pillar of the family." ”

"Yes, yes, the pillar, what the fuck am I, all kinds of goodness - filial piety first, I didn't do my filial piety, what kind of pillar."

"You have actually done a good job, Uncle Huang will rest in peace under the Nine Springs."

"He won't rest in peace, you know, my dad told my mother when he was about to die, he was sorry for my mother all his life, he didn't accompany my mother to the end, and after he left, let my mother find another companion. My dad is not blind, this is afraid that my mother will be alone and suffer, I sometimes think that I am not as good as a rural person, rural people accompany the old man all day long, let the old man enjoy the joy of children and grandchildren around the knee, and I, at most once a week can go home, my mother at home has a three long and two short I don't know, am I still a human? In addition, I have been home too little over the years, and when my dad was alive, I rarely shouted at him, you know? My mother is in her sixties, and he asked my mother to remarry before he died, which was a disappointment and even despair for me. After Huang Chaoyang finished speaking, the tears in his eyes hung silently on both sides of his nose like two streams, looking like he was in pain.

"The son wants to be filial and his relatives are not there, you are actually a filial son, but filial piety is too late, don't blame yourself, so Uncle Huang will not feel at ease in Jiuquan, maybe Uncle Huang knows that you are busy with work, and he is afraid that his mother will drag you down, so he will let you work with peace of mind, which is a kind of great love."

"Great love, great love, his great love is a kind of torture for me, I often wonder why I didn't go back to accompany my dad to the last moment when I went back to Jixiang Town that day, why am I so unassertive to let my dad go home so early, let my dad wait for death at home, I should let him go to the provincial capital as soon as possible, even if he leaves halfway or in the hospital, I am at ease, but I don't, my dad has only paid for our family all his life, there is no return, he is the real spring silkworm real candle, Do you know that he has paid too much for this family, he has rolled the leaves of the paulownia tree as cigarettes for us to go to school, the family has eaten a moon cake on August 15, there is no money to spend on the first day of the New Year to pull sugarcane to the county seat to sell, sometimes he works to save the money for the off-duty car, he gets up at three o'clock in the middle of the night and rides a bicycle to the construction site in the dark, he often nibbles steamed buns and drinks cold water, but what does he get, exhausting his efforts to provide for his children to succeed in their studies but not enjoying a day of old age, and the four-house houses that he has worked hard to build are left in the wilderness and lonely graves、、、、、、 Huang Chaoyang was full of remorse and self-blame, and his tears couldn't stop digging into the placket of his chest.

Du Xiaoming was also moved, and he suddenly understood the sentence on the public service advertisement, "Go home often, don't let love come too late." He comforted Huang Chaoyang and said: "Many people are involuntary many times, Uncle Huang is gone, it has become a reality, we can't be too entangled in this matter, Uncle Huang is gone, in fact, you have also completed a responsibility in life, for the elderly to provide for the end of our children must experience, Uncle Huang has worked so hard all his life, he is also a relief." ”

Huang Chaoyang was excited for a while, his eyelids were a little heavy, and his tone was a little flat: "I should have let him spend his old age in peace, at least let me invite him to the canteen for a wishful meal before leaving, or buy him a decent dress, but I didn't, but I didn't, I also bought a house to add pressure to him, he left, no one witnessed my childhood, he left, the first one to fall down was me, he was gone, he 、、、、、、was gone, the wine attacked, "snorr" fell asleep on the chair, Tears stopped wriggling on his face.

Du Xiaoming waited for Lu Xiaohe to come back, and Lu Xiaohe hurriedly explained: "I went to the room and scooped a scoop of boiling water, and waited until the water boiled and cooled before putting it in a bottle." ”

Du Xiaoming said: "No need. ”

"Hey, how did you lull him to sleep, I don't dare to talk about him, he didn't open his mouth and shot at me, it looked quite scary." Lu Xiaohe said in surprise.

Du Xiaoming smiled and said: "He is a man of few words, he always likes to fight all the problems by himself, Uncle Huang is gone, he has something in his heart, and it is uncomfortable to hold it in his heart, you have to guide him to say the words in his stomach, communicate with him more, open his heart knot, and he will naturally come out of depression." ”

Lu Xiaohe said: "I'm also at fault, I didn't come to school to cook before, I didn't know that your teachers in the mountains worked so hard, not only had to teach students books, but also had to take care of their daily life, I misunderstood him before, he has experienced too many things from last year to this year, I am also responsible, I will help him through the most difficult period." ”

"People, it can't be smooth sailing in a lifetime, difficulties are temporary, only you can help him through the critical period."

"Thank you, I will, Chaoyang actually trusts you the most, it seems that he is not wrong."

"Don't praise me, Mr. Huang is calm, can't he work with peace of mind? His depression would affect his work. ”

Du Xiaoming and Lu Xiaohe put Huang Chaoyang on the bed with great effort, it was already ten o'clock at night, he wanted to call his parents, but he was afraid of disturbing their rest, he wanted to buy a dress for his parents this Monday to go home and accompany them to have fun.
