Now, let's take a moment to talk about Zhang Shaoping.

Zhang Shaoping was not idle at home, he came to Zhangjiacun Hope Primary School as a Chinese teacher with his own ability, this Hope Primary School was built by the state from the treasury, and most of the teachers in it began to teach after graduating from junior college or high school.

At that time, college students were extremely rare, and many college students went to a better city and environment for development after graduation, and few returned to their hometowns to become teachers after graduation.

Zhang Shaoping has lived in the countryside since he was a child, knowing the hardships of the countryside, he also considered going to the big city to seek development like others, but he understands more that he has a deeper relationship with the land that raised him, and a lot of things have happened in this land of hope, and it is also this dear land that raised him as an adult, and now he has grown up and has the ability to contribute his youth to this land, so he returned to his hometown without hesitation after graduation. I want to sprinkle my blood on this land.

Zhang Shaoping has been a Chinese teacher at Hope Primary School for a while, and he found that there was a student named Li Yulan in his class who had the same primary school experience as himself.

Li Yulan's family lives in Lijiatun, the distance between school and home is at least seven or eight miles, she is like all poor peasant families, this child is very sensible at a very young age, she just followed her mother to learn to feed pigs when she was just five years old, every day when the sky is bright, she gets up and goes to the mountains to pick pig vegetables, she looks like a small radish head actually carries a heavy back basket, which is filled with heavy pigweed with dew, every step looks very difficult.

It is said that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early, Li Yulan knows that her family is poor, so her young heart has learned many things that adults know early, and she can't be like those children of rich families, she can eat whatever she wants, and wear whatever she wants. Therefore, no matter how hungry she was or how tattered her clothes were, she never asked for it from her family, and she endured it through gritted teeth.

Sometimes, when a few guests or distant relatives come to the house, the family will always bring out the best meals to entertain, these delicious meals are not eaten by Li Yulan under normal circumstances, she always stands aside, quietly watching the guests eat, and she can only swallow saliva to feel the food on the table.

When the guests at home finish eating and leave, there will always be some leftovers on the plate, such time, the family can always find Li Yulan, she has already run out with Zhao excuses, she knows that the rest of the food should be left for her three-year-old brother to eat, even if the younger brother does not eat, it should be given to her father or mother to eat - because they work in the field, the work is heavy and hard, she feels sorry for everyone in the family, whenever there is anything in the family that she can do, she always silently grabs the hand and does it skillfully.

Of course, Li Yulan has always been the top student in the class in terms of academics, and every time she takes an exam, she will take a golden certificate from the school to take home, and Hope Primary School has set up a bursary for outstanding students, Li Yulan will get such a bonus every time because of her excellent academic performance, she takes out the tuition fee from the bonus, and the rest of the money is not in her own purse to buy stuttering for herself, but to give it to the family to subsidize the family.

Li Yulan's next-door neighbor Mu Xiaoying is studying in the same Hope Primary School as her, Mu Xiaoying's family environment is much better than Li Yulan's family, Mu Xiaoying's father is a taxi driver, her mother runs a barber shop, and the family situation is much better than Li Yulan's family.

Li Yulan has been going to school with Mu Xiaoying for many years, coupled with the relationship between neighbors, the two are always inseparable from each other, whenever Mu Xiaoying has pocket money, she will think of Li Yulan for the first time and share the pocket money with her.

Just this year, Li Yulan's height has increased significantly, although she is dressed in tatters and has a haggard face, but at a closer look, she knows that she is a beautiful girl with outstanding appearance.

Her good friend Mu Xiaoying is half a head shorter than her, but she is very different from her, Mu Xiaoying's round face is white and smooth, and she has a pair of bright eyes, and she is wearing some beautiful clothes.

As she grew older, Li Yulan developed relatively quickly, her tall breasts made her look a little adult, she began to be a little shy, every time she saw her good friend Mu Xiaoying wearing gorgeous clothes, she was always a little embarrassed, and the conditions at home were just like that, she didn't want to continue to study, because the family was poor, she wanted to drop out of school to help the family live, after all, she had a younger brother.

When she told her good friend Mu Xiaoying that she was going to drop out of school, Mu Xiaoying was so uncomfortable that her eyes turned red and said: "Yulan, you must not drop out of school, if your family can't afford you to study, then I will beg my parents to let them provide you with education!" Li Yulan smiled and said, "Are you stupid, Sakura, how can you let your parents provide me with education?" Besides, this school is not the top food or drink, it is better to come out early to fight for the family together, you are different from me, your parents have their own jobs, as long as you study hard, there will definitely be a good head in the future.

Mu Xiaoying didn't listen to what she said, and with tears in her eyes, she must not drop out of school, but Yulan is a child with an idea, and once it is something she believes, she does not plan to change.

After dinner that day, Li Yulan's father was smoking in his yard, she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and then went outside the house and told her father what she thought, her father listened to her finish speaking, and said sadly: "What you said is also true, our family is poor, although you also have a bursary every year to pay tuition, but when you are in junior high school and high school, our family can't afford it, it is better to drop out of school and come back to help the family live together." ”

Li Yulan saw that her father agreed with her idea, so she turned around and walked into the house, in fact, how eager her heart was to continue to study! But after listening to my father's words just now, I felt that it made sense, and it was better to come out earlier to help the family live.

On this day, Mu Xiaoying still went to Hope Primary School as usual, and the bell of the class rang "jingling" and "jingling", this class was taken by Zhang Shaoping, when Zhang Shaoping saw the seat vacated by Li Yulan, he began to feel a little uneasy, he thought that something happened to her on the road, so that she did not come to class, or something happened to her family, so she delayed the class.

After class, Zhang Shaoping found Mu Xiaoying and asked her about Li Yulan's situation, after all, everyone in school knew that Li Yulan and Mu Xiaoying had the best play, and they were neighbors.

Zhang Shaoping called Mu Xiaoying to his side and said with a smile: "Sakura, do you know why Li Yulan didn't come to class today?" ”

Mu Xiaoying said with red eyes: "Teacher Zhang, Li Yulan asked me to tell you that she won't come to school in the future." ”

"If she doesn't come to school, then what is she doing?"

"She plans to drop out of school and help her family get through together!"

"What? How old is she! It's a good time for you to study and go to school, and you can't give up halfway! So be it! After a while, I will accompany you to her house and talk to her, I can't let you stumble into a thousand hatreds. ”

"Okay, Teacher Zhang, then I'll go to class first, and I'll wait for you on the playground for a while."

"Okay, let's go to class first!"

After school, Mu Xiaoying walked to the playground alone and waited for Zhang Shaoping, Zhang Shaoping beckoned to her and walked over, the two of them talked and laughed along the way, and they could completely talk about the seriousness between teachers and students, more like two brothers and sisters.

Not long after, Zhang Shaoping followed Mu Xiaoying to Lijiatun, at this moment, Li Yulan was cutting pigweed with a kitchen knife outside the house, and she was a little busy. Zhang Shaoping shouted at her through the fence, "Yulan, what are you busy with?" ”

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Yulan raised her head and looked, and when she saw that it was Zhang Shaoping, she smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, why are you here." ”

Zhang Shaoping said with a smile: "I came to see my students, can't I?" ”

Li Yulan wiped her hands, stood up from the wooden bench, walked over to Zhang Shaoping, and said with a smile: "Teacher Zhang, since you are here today, then I will tell you in person!" From now on, I will not go to school, and from now on I will wholeheartedly help my family to live a good life. ”

"Yulan, you're still young, you can't make a decision easily! Mr. Zhang is also a rural person, and knows that rural life is very hard, but the only thing that can change our destiny is to read, reading is the only way out, and only if you know more can you change your current destiny. ”

Just when Li Yulan was a little speechless, Li Yulan's father came back from the field with a hoe.

Li Yulan's father walked in and pointed at Zhang Shaoping, and said, "Yulan, who is this?" Li Yulan responded with a smile: "Dad, this is Teacher Zhang who taught us Chinese." ”

"Oh, it's Teacher Zhang! Quick, quick, please take a seat, I don't know what Mr. Zhang is doing when he comes to our house? ”

Zhang Shaoping sat on the wooden bench and said with a smile: "That's the case, I didn't see Li Yulan in class today, and I thought she was delayed by something at home, so I came to take a look." ”

"Oh, I see! That's troublesome Teacher Zhang, what, Teacher Zhang, from today onwards, our Yulan won't study, she is embarrassed to tell you in person, so I'll let Sakura bring you a message, I don't know if Sakura told you? ”

"Well, I said, but I personally think it's better to let Li Yulan continue to study, after all, the child is still young, and the road ahead is still very exciting, but you can't let the child not read because of the current situation, besides, now the country attaches great importance to education, and if Yulan wants to make the family's situation better, only better learning is the mile."
