The construction of the joint school between the experimental middle school and the Taiyun school has begun, and the iron fence in the middle has been demolished by the workers.

That day, Fang Xinning saw at a glance that the fig tree had been cleared out of the small garden with the grass and lying on the road haphazardly. He picked it up and saw that it had been broken by violence. As if his old friend had been wounded, he picked it up and hurried home, found a potted plant, and placed it on the windowsill.

The story about "figs" written by me, "What is the auspicious celebration", is about to come to an end, and I took advantage of the free time of the summer vacation to come to Taiyun School again. Before leaving, I submitted an application to the leaders of our school, saying that I no longer wanted to teach, and that they would consider placing me in a more leisurely position.

When I arrived in Xin County, the TV station was broadcasting a special interview with Fang Xinning, the first outstanding education model candidate.

A female announcer introduced in a very magnetic voice:

Fang Xinning is an ordinary "teacher" and a great gardener; He is not only a "teacher" for teaching, but also a "teacher for people" to educate people; He has great love and does everything he can to save a seriously ill student; He has a broad mind and respects an old man who has no blood relationship with him as his own mother; He is dedicated to his job, regards the school as his home, and is not afraid of misunderstandings and complaints, which eventually puts a troubled school on the normal track; He devoted himself to teaching and research, and made many new contributions to the promotion of the new teaching method in the city......

In the film, Wang Baolin's complaint has become a bright spot, at least it has deeply moved me.

Fang Xinning saw that I was watching seriously, so he hurriedly turned off the TV. explained: "This media is a magnifying glass, and it likes to magnify things, but in fact, it is just ordinary things. ”

I saw that he was using his summer vacation to write a book on the rules of Chinese teaching. The small article he wrote, "Dream Chasing", is at hand, the article is not long, but it can penetrate into the hearts of the people. At the end of the article, it reads: "Chasing is an abundance, a kind of wealth. Savor the past and move towards the future, this is the course of everyone's life. All of this may be a bit bland. But as long as it's worth looking back. That's a feat. "Yes, most of the things we do are as ordinary as walking, but those who can do ordinary things to the extreme are remarkable.

This time. I actually saw the stone too. It was placed on a small table. The word "Ning" is really elegant, and the spirit is flying, which can be called a masterpiece of wonderful hands. But if it's natural, it's amazing. It turned out that Wang Jingzhi scraped together enough money and secretly bought it back. Fang Xinning didn't even say that it was worth it, but Wang Jingzhi said: "If you can keep safe, it is a priceless treasure!" ”

On the wall against which this small table rests, there is the banner that Teacher Huang Feng wrote to Fang Xinning.

I suddenly exclaimed, "Fig!"

He was startled and looked at me in surprise. I pointed to the pot of figs on the windowsill, and he exhaled and said, "In our hometown, in front of the house and behind the house, everywhere. You see, it never picks a place, as long as there is soil, it can grow anywhere, and it will bear the same fruit. ”

On the branch that has been destroyed by careless workers, a green fruit is left behind, which can still make people have a kind of reverie and longing for harvest.

I didn't go so far as to ask him why he would use "Fig" as his screen name, but I just took the trouble to lead the topic around.

Unexpectedly, he asked me first: "Why did you come up with such a screen name for Lu?" ”

I said, "'What time' comes from the glyph of 'fan', and 'auspicious' comes from the meaning of 'rest'. ”

He said, "What is thought in a flash is the most real." When I remembered the screen name, several popped up in my head, and I ended up using this 'fig'. A person may not have the opportunity to open up in front of others, but he can't always be fruitless. ”

His few simple words have greatly satisfied my curiosity.

This time, he couldn't arrange for me anymore at his home, which only had a room, so he could only take me to Liu Shu's room. The two of us came to the door of Liu Shu's dormitory while talking, and heard movement inside. Listen carefully again, someone inside is speaking: "Students, let me give you a rao order first: 'Eight hundred pacesetters run to the north slope, the artillery runs side by side to the north, the artillerymen are afraid of touching the pacesetters, and the pacesetters are afraid of touching the artillery guns. As soon as the words fell, I heard someone applauding, only one pair of hands.

"Students," the person inside continued, "I will recite a poem to you: "Will enter the wine", Li Bai, you don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and does not return......

Fang Xinning smiled and said to me, "This is him practicing Mandarin." With that, he went up and knocked at the door. Sure enough, Liu Shu was the only one who came out of it, blushing and embarrassed, and said, "I...... Come and help you pack up......"

We didn't care about what he was doing.

Then, I stayed in this room. During the day, I asked Fang Xinning some questions, sometimes I went around, and when it was time to eat, I would go back to Fang Xinning's house, and come back at night to write.

After four or five days, our school came to inform me that something was going on and asked me to go back. When Fang Xinning heard about it, he smiled mysteriously and said, "Okay, tomorrow at noon, I will ask two good friends to come together to practice for you." ”

Really? This is too much courtesy for me, and I am full of anticipation.

At noon the next day, I followed Fang Xinning to a local restaurant and met Pan Niangang, who had been waiting for a long time. After a brief conversation, I listened to the two of them talk. But I've been wondering, who could the other one be? But the two of them didn't understand my feelings, and they just talked about teaching. Pan Niangang had already become the principal of Guodong Town No. 1 Middle School at this time, and the original principal went to work in the town education office.

Pan Niangang said: "To say that someone like me who started from the front line, it is really difficult to deal with it for a while, and I always want to focus on teaching and research, and I am very passive in other aspects." Those who do not start from the front line may not be as good as us in teaching, but all aspects of work are better coordinated. Fang Xinning said: "If there is a problem in work coordination, I can introduce you to a mentor." Pan Niangang asked, "Who?" Seeing that Fang Xinning smiled and was silent, he asked me for confirmation. I had to laugh - I was kept in the dark by him.

After a while, Fang Xinning's phone rang. From Fang Xinning's words, it can be heard that the other party can't get out of the body because of something, and he can't come.

After answering the phone, Fang Xinning spread his hands and expressed helplessness. I asked, "Who is it?" He said to me, of course, to Pan Niangang: "Ren-Nan-De." I was even more strange and asked, "Is he the other friend you have invited?" Fang Xinning nodded solemnly.

"If he doesn't come, forget it, and I have nothing to say to him when he comes." Pan Niangang said.

"I just wanted you to witness his changes, I didn't expect anything to happen to him." Fang Xinning said.

"Don't be an excuse." I said, but as soon as I said that, I didn't feel right. In the face of such a generous person saying such a thing, I am too "villainous".

The two of them smiled and didn't answer me.

Pan Niangang said: "You are still blessed, persevering to the very end, and becoming a formal teacher in the experimental middle school." ”

Fang Xinning said: "You have also become a leader, you are better than us." ”

Pan Niangang said: "How can you be good, I have heard that in the new semester, you will hold a cooperative teaching promotion exchange meeting in the experimental middle school, which is the protagonist of your outline." ”

"Listen to whom?" Fang Xinning, the second monk, was puzzled.

"When I was in a meeting in the bureau, I listened to what Director Qi told others." Pan Niangang said.

Fang Xinning shook his head and said, "There is no shadow, let the big writers listen to it and make jokes." ”

When I heard the latter sentence, my face turned red. Fortunately, who of them cares about my reaction?

Then, everyone talked about the school. Pan Niangang said: "We are a township middle school, the school is not big, but there are a lot of miscellaneous things, not to mention teaching, to buy a box of chalk, you have to personally ask many times." The security department has quarreled with outsiders, parents and teachers have conflicts, and students have posted negative posts about the school on the Internet, and there is no one who does not let you worry. ”

Fang Xinning said: "You also know the situation here, what will happen after the merger, it's really hard to say......

The dish was quickly served.

I didn't interject for fear of affecting their way of thinking. Pan Niangang also noticed this and said, "I propose, for the sake of the great writer's smooth journey, let's make it two cups first." ”

Everyone said yes in unison. So we started drinking happily. After a while, Pan Niangang received a phone call, saying that something had happened to the school and asked him to go back quickly. Pan Niangang couldn't sit still, and regardless of our retention, he got up and walked out.

We didn't send him. Fang Xinning said: "The more I experience, the more I hope that everything will have a good ending." ”

I didn't know why he felt this way, so I asked him what he planned for the future. He smiled and said: "If nothing else, it's time to take the graduating class, I can't delay them anymore, I need time to prepare for class, I need to be quiet, and I need to summarize some regular things in teaching......"

"Will the pedagogy continue?" I asked.

"I don't know if others will continue to do it," he said, "I will definitely do it, but I may also continue to deny myself, and in a few years' time, co-teaching will probably not be what it is now, or even what it is now." I'm also thinking that maybe it won't be long before a more novel teaching method will be introduced. ”

"For what?"

"Obviously, when a teaching method was first introduced, it may be scientific, condensing the wisdom of many experts, scholars and even front-line teachers, but when he pushes it away, many front-line teachers will gradually turn it into a tool for exam-oriented education...... I mean, maybe it's not the method itself......"

I nodded. (To be continued......)
