Chapter 510: Children in the Mountains

The youngest of the eight children is eight-year-old Wang Xiaohu, whose home is an hour away from the school, which still needs to be walked and run, and the rest of the children are also far away.

When these children were about to get home, Teacher Ma would stop and watch the children leave, and Wang Fan noticed that Teacher Ma was very responsible, and he would watch every child enter the house before leaving.

Along the way, some children sang while walking, and some children memorized the texts taught by the teacher, and on the way to send these students, Mr. Ma would also ask some questions in class to test these children, which made Wang Fan very surprised, there are such teachers?

He was silent, how many years did he remember not having such an image of a teacher? Wang Fan almost forgot!

"Goodbye Teacher Ma, goodbye Teacher!"

With a goodbye, only Wang Xiaohu was left alone among the eight students, he was not only the youngest, but also the farthest away from the school, his parents were not at home, and he was also working outside, he was also a left-behind child, and he had been living with his grandparents.

His grandparents were old, and he had not been sent to school when he was seven years old, but Mr. Ma personally came to the door and promised to send the child back every day, so Wang Xiaohu went to a rural primary school.

Mr. Ma sends Wang Xiaohu every day, so he has a very good relationship with Mr. Ma!

"Teacher, my grandmother said that my father and mother didn't buy tickets this year, maybe they won't be able to come back for the New Year, and they will live a little more than usual when they spend the New Year outside. They definitely won't come back for the New Year, when I miss Mom and Dad. I'll just come to your house for the New Year, okay? ”

Wang Xiaohu has been holding Mr. Ma's hand and is very attached to him. When this time was about to be separated, he reluctantly said to Teacher Ma, looking at the teacher with a pair of eyes, very reluctant, for fear that the teacher would not agree to him.

In the eyes of these children, Teacher Ma is like their relatives, some children's parents are away all the year round, and only the teacher is the person who is present day and night, so they are particularly attached to the teacher. I feel that I want to be with my teacher during the Chinese New Year.

"Well, yes, if you want to celebrate the New Year at the teacher's house, come to the teacher's house a few days in advance, and I will make dumplings for you to eat, but don't be discouraged, your parents must be able to buy tickets, and they will definitely come back!"

Teacher Ma touched Wang Xiaohu's head, and Wang Fan stood aside and watched. Wang Xiaohu is not very old, and when children in the city are as old as him, they are generally coquettish in the arms of adults, but he can say such words. It appears to be very precocious.

And Wang Fan can also feel that he trusts his teachers, and he is really like being attached to his relatives and his parents.

Sent all the children away. Teacher Ma's return journey was very relaxed, and the speed of taking care of the children was much faster than when she came. And at this time, he had the heart to talk to Wang Fan.

"Actually, you can have a winter vacation in these two days. I saw that many of the parents of the children in the village had not yet returned, and my wife and children were still working outside, so I simply took these children for a few more days, and at least I could teach them at school.

By the way, you can also take care of these children, there is no food in the mountains in winter, many wild animals will come to the village, and the children are not safe, it is better to concentrate in the school, but the school is too dilapidated, and the children do not have a place to warm and roast the fire, and many children are frostbitten! ”

On the way back, Ma Lao said to Wang Fan apologetically, the sun was about to set, and both of them quickened their pace, and in the woods that kept moving on the side of the road, they only saw birds croaking and hares and pheasants that came out from time to time.

Occasionally you can still hear one or two sounds, I don't know what kind of animal long howl, let people listen to the creepy day, in the mountains at dusk, many nocturnal beasts have begun to go down the mountain to look for food, as the food in the mountains is getting less and less, they will slowly move down the mountain, and some will attack the livestock of some farmers.

Therefore, Mr. Ma always said that it may be safer and warmer to manage the children together than to leave them alone at home, and among the seven or eight children, not all of the children are taken care of by grandparents, and some are taken care of by aunts or distant relatives.

And several students, after reaching the age of twelve or thirteen, did not continue to study, but went out to work with others, or simply hunted in the mountains with the hunters who stayed at home, and learned to hunt rabbits and pheasants, so that their livelihood was barely guaranteed.

In a word, the life of the children here is too hard, otherwise it wouldn't be like this!

"Isn't there any other way? Children like Wang Xiaohu are not very old, and their parents are not at home? It's really not safe for children to walk in the mountains like this! These children are so bitter, I really didn't think of them before! ”

Wang Fan sighed, he saw that Wang Xiaohu was at most one or two years older than Hao Hao, and he also knew when he was on the road, Wang Xiaohu's parents were not at home, he was living with his grandfather in his sixties, and his hands were frostbitten in the cold weather, look at this poor child!

"What can be done? That Haohao's father originally discussed with me, saying that if Haohao didn't bring it next year, he could only send it to the primary school first to follow me to learn to read and read first.

This is also fortunate that Haohao's father was lucky enough to go to the county seat to buy a house in one step, and his wife also came back, so Haohao can go to the county seat to study next year, at least he doesn't have to suffer this crime.

People in the mountains, no one wants their children to suffer, but what can be done, adults can't earn money, there are many places to use money at home, and the houses in the county and town are not cheap, and many families are thinking of working outside for a few years, and after saving some money, move out of this place!

The original more than 100 children in the school basically moved out in this way, and the rest of the children were very difficult at home, otherwise they would not have stayed here. ”

Compared with Wang Fan's sigh, Mr. Ma is much calmer, he is used to seeing such things, everyone is like this, and he has no choice but to do his best to take care of the remaining children.

In fact, for him, as Hao Hao moves away, there will be fewer and fewer children left in this village, and he doesn't know what he should do in the end?

"If the school is renovated, and then some warm facilities are added, and there are one or two more teachers with hot water, I don't know how much it will cost, and these children may be better off schooling!"

Wang Fan pondered in his heart, he followed Teacher Ma to send these children home together, looking at Teacher Ma's situation, saying that it was a complete lie if he was not moved, no one was hard-hearted.

And for the bustling city, the environment and conditions in which these children live give Wang Fan the feeling of being another world, but this is real, because the mountains and roads here are far away, and cars can drive into the mountains, and the best roads can be used by motorcycles, and motorcycles cannot be walked in many places!

The place where you can only walk on a pair of feet looks sour, and listening to Mr. Ma, it takes three or four hours to get to the nearest town, and as for a trip to the county seat, it takes four hours to get to the town, and then take a car for two or three hours, which takes about seven hours to get to the county seat.

is such a place, if it weren't for the accident, how could Wang Fan have thought that there would be Haohao's family? And because of Haohao, I know that in such a small school, there is still such a respectable and amiable teacher Ma?

Now there are too few people like this, the city is full of desire and hope, who else will have a good heart for their children?

"Money? I calculated, repairing the house and what you said, at least it takes tens of thousands of fast, this is not the key is that it is usually difficult to find a strong laborer in the village, this is really not easy to do, tens of thousands of dollars can be taken out, and this can be invested once from time to time, and money is needed later! ”

Teacher Ma looked at Wang Fan, his eyes were about to glow, he blushed and looked at Wang Fan excitedly, speaking with a trembling voice, he only has a salary of about 5,000 yuan a year, and this money is often in arrears, tens of thousands of which is almost astronomical in his eyes, I didn't expect this Wang Fan to have the heart to ask about this.

He also heard Haohao's father nag, saying that this Wang Fan is very capable and has a good heart, but he doesn't know if he will ......

Thinking of this, Mr. Ma's eyes flashed with hope, but then he thought that this money is not a small amount, people are foreigners, just passing by here, and the people in the village are not related, maybe at most they are curious to ask, who has the heart to help them?

Tens of thousands of fast, but it's not a small amount!

"What you said is true, these children also have investment in the later stage, and every child's home here is far away from the school, I see this place in the mountains, it is really not very safe, there should be dozens of families here!"

Wang Fan hesitated for a moment, he thought of a problem, even if the school is repaired, tens of thousands of yuan will not have good conditions, and if there are one or two more teachers, the quality of teaching will still not be good.

There are also a few big problems, these children's homes are scattered around the school, so that they have to rely on the teacher to pick them up every day, which is very inconvenient and unsafe.

But what can we do to help these children and help Teacher Ma?

For Wang Fan, he had never encountered such a thing before, and he really hadn't thought about it for a while, what should he do to get the best of both worlds?

Not only can the children have a good condition to study with peace of mind, but also allow Mr. Ma to change the current environment, so that he can teach these children attentively? (To be continued......)
