7. Busy September 1st
When it rained on September 1st, when he opened his eyes, he heard the sound of rain outside the window, Du Xiaoming was excited, got dressed, pushed open the door, and a cool air rushed to his face, which was extremely cool. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe rain is fluttering and falling, completely washing away the summer heat. The raindrops fall to the ground, crawling like thousands of crabs, looking cute and mischievous. "Good rain knows the season." Everything is difficult at the beginning, but the rain is a symbol of a good harvest, Du Xiaoming thought it was a good sign, and he only felt refreshed and energetic.
The cuckoo obviously changed her outfit, dressed in a "double star" t-shirt, her hair was tied up high, she looked youthful and energetic, obviously comprehending the spirit of yesterday's meeting, she was concentrating on cleaning up the stagnant water accumulated in the campus with a broom, Carnegie once said: "There are two kinds of people who will never become great, one is the person who will never take the initiative to do things unless others ask him to do it; The other kind of person is a person who can't do things well even if others ask him to do it. "As a college student who has just gotten out of school, he will take the initiative to do what he should do without being urged by others, and he will not give up halfway will succeed, this kind of person has a strong professional enterprising spirit, at this time Du Xiaoming's heart rose a ray of emotion, let him see the hope of the school. There are so many university students in the city, and it is really hard to teach here, and as a young girl, it takes not only a lot of courage but also absolute moral character to be able to deign to be here.
At 7:30 in the morning, there are active parents who have led their children to report one after another, the small conference room is not large, two red office chairs, a large desk, and a big-ass old-fashioned computer is placed on it. As soon as the parents arrived at the school, they went to the small conference room, some wore raincoats, some held closed umbrellas, and the raindrops were dripping on the ground of the small conference room without care. Du Xiaoming accompanied the smiling face and the parents patiently, the topic was heavy rain to talk about the teaching performance, there was insulting, some said that if this is the case, the students will be transferred to other villages, and some say that the central school will change the principal, and all the teachers should be replaced. Du Xiaoming explained, please believe in the organization, believe in the leader, since the leader asked me to come, it is to better serve the education here. Later, a few parents came to the conference room, and bluntly said that they would make a "supplement" for the students, saying how difficult the family was, and everyone talked about the topic of making up again, counting how unfair and dark the previous year's supplements were, and everyone's tone was angry and angry, and seemed to forget that this is a public place where loud noises are strictly prohibited, and even more forgot that this is a sacred place for teaching and educating people. Yu Chengming didn't see a shadow. He called Huang Chaoyang, and Huang Chaoyang said, "Principal, breakfast is ready, let's eat some." ”
"I'll eat later, where are the keys for each class?"
"It's all handed over to the class teachers."
"Inform the class teachers that they must arrive at the class within 10 minutes and do a good job of receiving parents and students."
He called Yu Chengming again, and Yu Chengming was eating "let's chirp": "Leader, I'm still eating at home, and I'll be there after eating." ”
"How long will it take?"
"It's coming, half an hour at most."
"Yesterday the meeting was 8 o'clock to report to school, and you were still prepared to be an hour late, and you had to arrive at school in five minutes." Du Xiaoming said unceremoniously.
"Leadership, people are iron and rice is rigid. The people live on food、、、、、、。 Before Yu Chengming finished speaking, Du Xiaoming hung up the phone mercilessly.
Huang Chaoyang hurried to the conference room in two minutes and said, "Let's eat and give you a cold, you go eat first." ”
"I can't take care of it now, now I mainly do a good job of parents and students, according to the division of labor, arrange students into their classes, you see parents crowding more and more, like a swarm of bees, can you give parents a good impression? The teachers here are a little paralyzed. ”
"I'm going to call the teacher separately and go to the classroom."
"Okay, I'll be in 20 minutes to walk around the classroom." Du Xiaoming looked at Huang Chaoyang's fiery footsteps, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, they are old buddies, and there are still many tacit understandings between them.
At 9 o'clock, Yu Chengming came with a shake, and Du Xiaoming got straight to the point and said: "You know that many things were done very badly this morning. ”
"You know, I'll do what you told me yesterday."
"The main thing is to take the lead, lead by example, and walk in front of the teacher in everything, because you are the second responsible person in this school, and the main thing is that you know how many eyes are looking at you."
"Leader, don't be so dogmatic, weren't they all like this in previous years, aren't schools open as usual?"
"The key is that we have to make parents satisfied, we have to have foresight in everything, we must think carefully and do it carefully, for example, today we must arrive at school before 8 o'clock this morning, not only to communicate with parents, but also to do a good job in emergency treatment of various work, today our every move will have an objective evaluation."
Yu Chengming is no longer silent, but he scolded in his heart that he really doesn't have hair on his mouth, he doesn't speak firmly, he just came here, his steps haven't stood firm, and he still wants to teach me a lesson! Watching Du Xiaoming walk in front with his toes high-spirited, inspecting the opening of each class, Yu Chengming followed behind him, and he was very annoyed by Du Xiaoming's tepid criticism just now. The personnel arrangements for the opening of the school made him unexpected, it was really a dream very full, the reality was very backbone, I wanted to mobilize the village cadres and the people to collect the bad deeds of Principal Guoliang to the central school to complain, and put Guoliang down, and he naturally succeeded Guoliang, but he didn't expect the dog to eat the dog, and as a result, Guoliang was demoted to the town center primary school to teach, and he was almost demoted to a school more than ten miles away from home.
The classes are in good condition, the students have been sitting in the classroom safely, some classes have the sound of reading aloud, and some teachers are talking about "safety class", Du Xiaoming asked casually: "Why didn't the teachers prepare for class?" ”
Yu Chengming said for a long time: "I just had a class yesterday, and I was very busy, and most of them are old teachers, so I am familiar with the road." ”
Du Xiaoming glanced at Yu Chengming coldly: "What is familiar with the road, the textbooks have not changed, the learning situation is changing, can the teaching quality be improved after playing the old strings for a long time?" This morning, all classes should have a good "First Lesson of School", didn't they unify it at the meeting yesterday? ”
"Who knows, I talked about it at the meeting yesterday, and next time I criticize and criticize at the meeting, I have to go and urinate." After Yu Chengming finished speaking, he didn't wait for Du Xiaoming to answer, and he slipped away.
When I walked to the nursery class area, I heard the chaos of the small class from afar: the crying of children, the reprimand and intimidation of parents. Ding Zhen messed up in the classroom, coaxing this for a while, hugging for a while, sweating in a panic, but wanting to be bad. Because the large class has not yet found a suitable teacher, Liu Yinfeng is temporarily taken care of, and since it has been a year, the students are relatively stable. Du Xiaoming called Yu Chengming and asked him to take care of the big class first, and then let Liu Yinfeng take care of the small class. He asked Huang Chaoyang to buy a box of lollipops at the store, one for each child, and said to the parents: "Parents, the child must always let go, you can rest assured that if you have been standing by the child's side, it is not conducive to the child and the teacher's normal class." The parents reluctantly walked away, but still poked their heads out of the window, the children cried to the door as soon as they saw their parents' heads, Liu Yinfeng and Ding Zhen intercepted, and some parents stretched out their hands to greet them, the children cried, the parents also cried, and the scene was very chilling. Du Xiaoming looked at the campus, and there were still many parents in grades 1 to 5 standing in the campus, although the rain had become as thin as cow hair and pine needles. He couldn't understand what the parents were waiting for, but he immediately made a decision, stood under the flag stand, and opened his throat: "Parents and friends, in 10 minutes, the school will lock the door, the students will be put in the school, and the teachers will take good care of it, so you can rest assured." Some parents also said in the same voice: "It's okay to wait, the child's bed hasn't been made yet, can you start the gang in the morning?" "It's okay, the students eat and stay in the school, and the special teachers are in charge." There were parents who walked out of the school gate one after another, and there were a few old people who were dressed dirty, and their eyes were sluggish, still holding umbrellas, looking at the direction of the classroom with empty eyes.
As soon as the door was locked, someone banged on the door with his hand, the door of the school was welded with iron blades, the door was closed, the inside could not see the outside, the outside could not see the inside, and when the door was opened, it was Wang Junyi, although he was wearing a raincoat, his face was soaked in rain, and his knees were all wet.
Wang Junyi muttered while pushing the motorcycle: "This dead day, it's not early, it's not late, it's not until the start of school." ”
Du Xiaoming wanted to criticize him a few words, but he endured it, he had heard such a sentence: How the city government is refined is made in the process of enduring not speaking and enduring not asking questions again and again. Some things wait and see what happens, first draw a line in your heart, and wait for the right opportunity to knock this phenomenon on the side of the meeting, insinuating that old teachers, especially old teachers, will set a shadow in their hearts at the beginning of the school year is not conducive to future work.
Du Xiaoming changed his face and asked with concern: "The clothes are all wet, have you taken the spare clothes?" Hurry up and change. ”
"It's okay, take it, it's tightly wrapped in plastic." Wang Junyi's appearance in his 50s, a little hunchbacked, his face is like a walnut, full of hard lines, and when he smiles, the ravines and ravines are vertical and horizontal, and he looks like he has been engaged in field work for a long time. "Headmaster, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Du Xiaoming didn't say anything.
"What tasks are assigned to me, I'll hurry up and make up for them."
"Fourth-grade Chinese, social studies, class teachers, the whole school physical education, change clothes, hurry up and distribute the books, and take the "First Lesson of School"." Du Xiaoming said succinctly that he had assigned a task to Wang Junyi.
When the meal started at noon, Du Xiaoming realized that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and the female cook took a bowl full of noodles and put it on the table and said, "Principal, eat first, breakfast is still drying." ”
"It's okay, let the students and teachers first."
The room is not big, about 20 square meters, the roof is smoked black and yellow, the fan has been unrecognizable, greasy and dusty and crawling all over, Du Xiaoming ordered 66 students to eat, they lined up a long line according to the grade, the first grade students at the beginning, standing in front of the pot only half of their heads were exposed, the first grade head teacher Liu Yinfeng was helping the cooks to serve rice, occasionally the college students behind squeezed, the team was chaotic, and some students said loudly, teacher, Wang Xiaoping squeezed me. Wang Xiaoping is not to be outdone, teacher, Zhu Pingyang squeezed me. Then the words of the front have not fallen, and the side in the back hurriedly shirks the responsibility and pushes the perpetrator to the one in the back. Liu Yinfeng raised his throat, don't squeeze, be careful of burning, if you find someone squeezing, stand at the end and eat. Then Hao Chunlai pulled out a fat fifth-grade student from the team, and the team immediately became orderly. The person who played the meal card was a gay man about 45 years old, with unkempt hair, unkempt beard, long nails, and the dirt inside was clearly visible. The female cook is still clean, about 25 years old, belongs to the small and delicate type, and is serving a meal quickly. Teachers and students are a group, the same meal, a large table is at the back of the pot, Huang Chaoyang, Hao Chunlai, Wang Junyi, Du Juan and Du Xiaoming are eating, the other teachers are closer to home, after school they go home to eat.
Liu Yinfeng helped the students to serve the meal, a few beads of sweat on his face crept down, and said while eating: "This morning, my ears are full and still squeaking." ”
Wang Junyi grinned, his teeth a little yellow: "As the old saying goes, the family has three loads of food, not the king of children, and now parents are too doting on their children, for fear that the children will cry, but we can't touch and scold." ”
"Whoever let us walk on this road, take your time, the key is to find a teacher in the large class as soon as possible." Liu Yinfeng glanced at Du Xiaoming.
The appointment of preschool teachers is indeed a pimple in Du Xiaoming's heart, he called to the rescue of other village schools, the school in the center of the town is still settled, and the remote schools are running to "catch people", on the one hand, the rural talent is dry, on the other hand, the salary is too low, and most of the young and educated people have gone out to develop, but the school must also be careful in planning, it is really in response to the sentence "a penny falls to the ground for fear of being stained with dust on all sides." ”。
Hao Chunlai is introverted at first glance, not tall, about 1.65 meters, with white skin, eating in obscurity with his head down, and not saying a word.
The cuckoo was still very optimistic, stretching his slender neck, looking at this and that, looking at this and that, looking very novel, only serving a small half bowl of rice. Liu Yinfeng wanted to fill her up several times, but she refused.
Liu Yinfeng said: "The conditions in the mountains are difficult, but you have to eat enough, and the little girl is still a critical period for her body. ”
The cuckoo smiled; "It's okay, I'm used to it at school, I eat too much, it will develop horizontally, and I still have to get married."
The anger of the whole table was obviously much more harmonious, Wang Junyi was obviously choked by the rice, and coughed a few times: "You girl, it is difficult to marry someone in this mountain, love seeks the maximum winning value, and the denominator here is too small, the ratio of winning value is small, sometimes you have to fall in love, you have to endure loneliness for a few years." ”
Huang Chaoyang continued: "Teacher Wang is short-sighted, now they are all global villages, they have borrowed seeds, and love is across provinces, and it is often said that love has no borders, as long as two people get along, regardless of region." ”
"You have to be serious when you look for a mother-in-law, men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, no matter where you look, you must have a car and a house, you see my daughter-in-law there, it is three golds, and it is a house and a car, which has emptied our life savings and owed a lot of debt." Wang Junyi said.
"The point is that you have the ability, if I really don't have the courage and guts. Nowadays, young people are popular to gnaw on the old people, the moonlight people, if we make them beautiful, they don't know how to cherish life. Liu Yinfeng said with his head in a way.
Du Xiaoming saw that the problem was about to deepen, and interrupted: "Du Juan just came, seeing that you have analyzed the problem so thoroughly, if she suffers from marital phobia, you are the culprit." ”
"It's still early to get married, I haven't played enough, but I don't want to be burdened too early." The cuckoo smiled sheepishly.
A table of people talking and laughing in the meal is finished, the rain outside has completely stopped, the children gathered together in twos and threes, some lying on the table tennis table, some sitting on the stairs, the cook Lu Xiqing is patrolling, taking care of the safety of the students' lunch, Du Xiaoming thought to himself, the cook is still very dedicated and responsible.
When Director Yang called, Liu Yinfeng and Du Juan were sweeping the stagnant water on the campus, and Du Xiaoming felt a hot current in his heart at that time. Director Yang said straight to the point: "How is the opening of the school? ”
"Everything is normal, now the main thing is to solve the problem of kindergarten teachers?"
"We must hurry up and find it, we must arrange teachers to take care of the safety of students first, and Wang Junyi has reported to work?"
"It's here, it's raining this morning, and my clothes are getting soaked."
"You pay attention to stabilizing his emotions, because his teaching performance has not been excellent for two consecutive years, and the village cadres and people in this village are determined to expel him from the village, and he had a conflict with the village cadres yesterday afternoon."
"It should be fine, I see that I was still in a very optimistic mood when I ate in the morning."
"You have worked hard, the work of starting school is complicated, you have to clear your mind, pay attention to stability and safety, and you must also pay attention to your body."
"Thank you for your concern."
In the afternoon, the leaders of the central school went deep into the school to carry out the opening of the school and the safety inspection, and as soon as the inspectors left, Du Xiaoming called Yu Chengming to call the fifth-grade out-of-school child Li Heiwa, and the head teacher Du Juan had to take care of the class because he had just arrived. Yu Chengming said with a wicked smile, leader, I have to send teaching supplies to teachers in the afternoon, and there are two classes, you ask Teacher Liu to go, she takes the initiative to go every semester, and there is a slight smell of alcohol in her speech, which is obviously a word of shirking responsibility, Du Xiaoming suddenly felt a wisp of unhappiness rise in his heart, as a teaching director is also the second-in-command in the school, but he picks everywhere and everywhere, this person has been deeply poisoned mentally. But Liu Yinfeng still has to take care of the first grade and the large class, Hao Chunlai is not good at words, the other teachers are all out of town, and he still has two classes in the end, so it seems that he has to postpone it until tomorrow.
At night, the moon came out of the clouds and worked as usual, but it was very thin and cold, like the petals of a white chrysanthemum, and not a single star could be found around. Due to the lack of housing, a large dormitory for boys and a dormitory for girls, each of which accommodates more than 30 students, these are children who are more than 5 miles away from home, because they are afraid that students are prone to safety accidents, so they have to arrange special teachers to help students with homework after dinner, and tutor until 7 o'clock. After 7 o'clock, there were parents waiting at the door of the dormitory, and a couple of two very young people flattered Du Xiaoming and handed over cigarettes: "Principal, my home is 10 miles away from the school, and I still live in the middle of the mountain, and it is extremely inconvenient to pick up and drop off every day, you see that my daughter Zhu Xiaoping has just turned 7 years old, and we can't bear to let her live in school, but we can't help it, and when the child is settled, we still have to go out to work, so we have to drag you down." ”
Du Xiaoming looked at Zhu Xiaoping behind him, his eyes were big, as if he was immersed in a black gem in the lake water, looking at himself clearly, a kind of pity suddenly rose in Du Xiaoming's heart, but at the same time he felt an inexplicable pressure: "It's okay, we will arrange for older students to share the bed with her, and we will also arrange a dormitory teacher next door to the dormitory." ”
"She still wets the bed sometimes, but occasionally." The child's mother's face flushed and she looked embarrassed.
Du Xiaoming was amused: "When I was young, I often wet the bed. ”
The student's accommodation was finally arranged, and Liu Yinfeng, the female dormitory, took the initiative to take the initiative, although she was less than 300 meters away from home, she said, the child's father went out to work all day, and the child went to the army. Wang Junyi, the male bedman, accepted it despite the slight unhappiness on his face. When urging students to close the doors and windows at night, Du Xiaoming accidentally found that the women's dormitory was next to the bedroom of the cook Lu Xiqing, which made him a little shocked.
At ten o'clock, the campus was completely silent and quiet, and Du Xiaoming returned to his living room to find that there were more than a dozen missed calls on the charged mobile phone, all of which belonged to Liu Cancan. Looking back, it took a while for Liu Cancan to receive a phone call, and he said in a worried voice: "Who?" ”
"I, I'm sorry, the phone is charging, is Xiaomi sleeping?"
"You still have our mother and wife in your heart, and you seem to be missing from yesterday to now, and you don't reply to a single call." Liu Cancan was clearly spiritually recovered from his sleep, and his voice raised an octave.
"School is open, and there are a lot of things."
"It's school all day, my daughters are in the third grade, and you sent her to school that day. This dad of yours is just a name, and there is no substance at all. ”
"Yes, yes, I'm not out of my reach, the key is whether you are at home, you have worked hard."
Du Xiaoming is used to Liu Cancan's bombardment-like chatter, his left ear listens to his right ear, and he has a "uh-huh" to deal with. As the saying goes: the carpenter's three-legged table, the bricklayer lives in a rotten thatched house, and as a teacher, he can't take care of his own children, and is speechless.
