Chapter 57 - Worries at Home Visits
Shi Baoyu, the fifth-grade homeroom teacher, has something to do at home these days, Yang Jinghui has to replace a few days of class, Wang Xiaobao in the class did not come to class on this day, and there are no classmates or parents to take a vacation, Yang Jinghui can not rest assured, after school, under the guidance of his classmates, Yang Jinghui went to Wang Xiaobao's house to visit, which can be regarded as a home visit.
In June, it rains every three or five days, and the rain is not heavy, but it is very lingering, and sometimes it will fall all at once. Today is no exception, the rain began to fall from the morning, the rain was greasy, the umbrella could not hear the sound of raindrops, but not the umbrella but also made people soaked, Yang Jinghui held the hand of the student Guo Hongtao, while walking and Guo Hongtao chatted about family life, the whole Liwa Village is relatively narrow and long, a road runs through the middle of the village, the houses are on both sides of the road, the east and west are mountains, the village is in a north-south trend, the south is low and the north is high, the school is located in the south of Xiangyang, Wang Xiaobao's family lives in the north of the village, At the beginning of the school, the road was gentle, and after passing the village committee, it began to go all the way up, and there were large and small stones on the road, and along the way, the road became more and more muddy, and the rain that fell to the high places did not seep into the ground, so it gathered into a small stream and began to flow freely along the road. Yang Jinghui's shoes were also soaked by the stream. All the way to the northernmost part of the village, there was no one left, Guo Hongtao told Yang Jinghui that Wang Xiaobao's house had arrived.
"Wang Xiaobao, Wang Xiaobao, Principal Yang has come to see you......", Guo Hongtao shouted loudly.
The door of Wang Xiaobao's house was open, a room of smoke, Wang Xiaobao heard the sound and ran out of the house, his face was black and gray one by one, like a naughty cat, his hands were rubbed uneasily, and he said timidly, Yang, Principal Yang, why are you here?
Yang Jinghui said, "You didn't come to school today? He took Wang Xiaobao's hand and walked into the house.
Wang Xiaobao was making a fire, and the firewood was a little wet, as if it was burning but not burning, so he made a room full of smoke. Yang Jinghui turned back to the yard and picked up some slightly dry firewood, which ignited the fire.
Someone coughed in the room, and a voice of questioning came, "Xiaobao, who's coming?" ”
Grandma, it's Principal Yang. Wang Xiaobao told Yang Jinghui that his grandmother was sick and he had to take care of him, so he didn't go to school. Yang Jinghui came into the house to visit, Wang Xiaobao's grandmother had a fever, the weather was cold after continuous rain, and the old man's resistance was weak and he had some colds. Wang Xiaobao's parents went to work in other places, and he and his grandmother were the only ones at home, Yang Jinghui asked Wang Xiaobao, knowing that the medicine at home was not complete, so he had to turn around and go to the village doctor's house to buy medicine, and helped Wang Xiaobao to make dinner, tutored Wang Xiaobao in a lesson that he didn't hear today, and told him to tell himself if he encountered difficulties in the future, and gave Grandma Wang fifty yuan when he left, telling him that he would come to see her again when he had time.
Walking out of Wang Xiaobao's home, Yang Jinghui felt a little heavy in his heart, the way back was downhill, he didn't struggle when he walked, standing at the highest point of the village, he could overlook the whole village at a glance, in front of the school was a big river, the big river turned a sharp bend in front of the school all the way to the bottom, the continuous rainfall these days the river water has risen a little, and it looks white and bright like a belt from afar, Yang Jinghui looks at the river from afar, if the rainfall is heavy, the sharp bend will not be able to turn around, and the river will go straight to the school out of the groove, and the consequences are unimaginable.
It was a regular meeting on Friday, after exchanging teaching experience, Yang Jinghui said that he planned to carry out a disaster prevention and self-rescue drill in the school, he went to Wang Xiaobao's house that day to see and worry about what he was worried about, and the teachers who originally thought that he was worrying no longer thought that he was exaggerating, and unanimously responded that they would seriously organize students to carry out disaster prevention drills.
The following Wednesday and Friday, Yang Jinghui and his colleagues organized students to carry out an emergency assembly, a quick and orderly evacuation, including evacuation routes, etc., the children were right to take physical education classes, at first they were very excited, because after the drill, they could go home from school, and then the teachers of each class explained to them many times the danger of flooding, especially after organizing all students to stand on a high place to watch the dangerous terrain where the school is located, the students became serious.
Zhang Mingjun, director of the Education Bureau, went to Xing'an Town to investigate the implementation of nine-year compulsory education, Qiao Guomin accompanied all the way to Lijiawa Village School when it was noon, if it were not for Zhang Mingjun to propose to the most remote village to investigate, Qiao Guomin had almost forgotten the existence of Yang Jinghui, when he saw Yang Jinghui who had become black and thin because of his hard work, Qiao Guomin was happy in his heart, admired his wise decision, and was overjoyed at the moment, holding Yang Jinghui's hand. Yang Jinghui felt a little disgusting, and replied politely at the moment, it was the good of Secretary Qiao's leadership. The answer between the two made people who didn't know the reason mistakenly think that it was really the master who met the good minister. Zhang Mingjun read the relevant materials, after listening to Yang Jinghui's report, he expressed satisfaction with the work of Pujiu in Lijiawa School, and when Qiao Guomin returned, he was meeting the school to organize student disaster prevention drills, and asked the reason, Yang Jinghui said that it was a safety education, Zhang Mingjun stopped and looked carefully for a while and returned with Qiao Guomin, and Qiao Guomin asked Zhang Mingjun in the car, is the school safety education the teaching content stipulated by the Education Bureau? If it weren't for the content of the regulations, whether Yang Jinghui's move was groundless, just like asking students to escape from an earthquake and avoid nuclear weapons, tossing students for this possibility that it would not happen at all, seems to be grandstanding. Zhang Mingjun smiled and did not answer him directly, but said, this Principal Xiao Yang is not very old, but he is very wise and thoughtful, interesting, and worth promoting.
