After a long time, the mother and son stopped their tears, and Niu Sanbao was busy comforting Liu Xiuling. "It must be the appearance of the gods that made Grandma's illness better, I dreamed of a white-bearded old man last night, exactly the same as the old fairy in the front hall of our ancestral hall, and told me that Grandma's illness will be cured today!" Niu Sanbao said half-truthfully.

Liu Xiuling was busy when she heard this, and she was half convinced. Busy making an appointment with Niu Sanbao, and when his health is better, he will go with Niu Sanbao to repay his vows.

"Grandma, you are just in good health or you should not be tired, you go to the house and lie down first, and I will cook the meal." ”

After breakfast, Niu Sanbao came to a big poplar tree at the head of the village. This is where the four friends usually meet. Zhu Erxiang and Ma Daji waited for Niu Sanbao early.

"Why didn't Ma Huahua come? Hasn't this guy always been very positive?" asked Niu Sanbao.

"As soon as I came back yesterday, I got sick and was lying at home. Zhu Erxiang replied.

"Why don't you go to his house and have a look?" Niu Sanbao said worriedly.

"Don't go, Ma Huahua's drunkard father happened to be at home these two days, and he specifically asked me to tell you not to run to his house. lest his father find a reason to clean him up. ”

Ma Huahua's father was a drinker, and he didn't like children very much, every time Niu Sanbao went to their house, his father would make a big noise, kick them all out, and sometimes do something to Ma Huahua, but fortunately, most of his father wandered around the town and was not at home.

"That cave is really evil, I won't go for the time being, I plan to go to the village chief to learn to write. Niu Sanbao told Zhu Erxiang and Zhu Erxiang what he thought.

"What's so fun about writing, okay, it's okay anyway, go to the village chief's house and have a look." "Zhu Erxiang doesn't care, he prefers simple and violent things to things that cost him brains.

Ma Daji shouted "ahhhhhh It means that I want to learn to write.

Now it has become two to one, Zhu Erxiang saw it, agreed to it, and walked to the village chief's house.

Niu Sanbao hurriedly stopped him: "Although the village chief likes the three of us very much, but he asks others for help, he can't go empty-handed, I went down the ecstasy in the river last night, catch a few fish and take them." ”

Zhu Erxiang was very happy when he heard that he was going to fish, and the three of them came to a shallow beach with a slow flow by the river, Niu Sanbao collected the net, picked two fat fish, and then walked to the village chief's house.

The three of them came to the village chief's house, the village chief was enjoying the shade in the yard, carrying the fish into the door, Zhu Erxiang took the lead in speaking: "Grandpa the village chief, the boys have brought you fish." Zhu Erxiang didn't pestered the old village chief to tell him the story of "Journey to the West"!

"Oops, it turned out that the three little champions from the village came. How do you know that your Grandma Liu's fish soup is cooked well, and you want to come to my house to drink fish soup. The old village chief greeted the three of them and shouted at the house: "Lao Liu, come out quickly and call Wen Juan out." Niu Sanbao, they're here! By the way, take out the halva that Wen Juan brought back. "Very welcoming!

The old man is the daughter-in-law of the village chief, called Liu Guiying, and Niu Sanbao and his mother are still close, when Liu Laoyu was looking for a daughter-in-law, it was Liu Guiying's pro, so he usually took care of Niu Sanbao's family.

"Sanbao, how is your grandma's illness lately!" Liu Guiying asked with concern when she saw Niu Sanbao.

"Grandma's illness is getting better today, and I drank medicine in the morning and walked around the yard twice. Sambo replied obediently.

"That's good, that's good, the old man is not at home, it's hard for you two mothers, you sit here now, I'll go and clean up the fish, and bring your grandma to drink fish soup at noon." Don't go either, you two. With that, he went to work in the kitchen.

The village chief led the young girl who came out later, and the three of them kept saying: "Wen Juan, this is what I told you, the three little champions in our village, good guys, when they were born, there were many visions in the sky, and they will definitely be amazing characters in the future." ”

Niu Sanbao's three children also looked at the new girl, only to see that the girl could be about 20 years old, wearing a white pleated skirt, a clean ponytail, and a pair of thin-framed gold-wire glasses on the bridge of her nose, very gentle.

"Aunt Wen Juan is like a fairy in the sky. Sanbao said sweetly, this can be regarded as coming from the bottom of his heart, most of the grandmothers and sisters-in-law in the mountains are wearing homespun clothes and pants, and they are dressed like Ma Wenjuan, which naturally makes people's eyes shine, and it is not too much to say that they are fairies.

"Abba, the weather changes in the mountains are normal, how can it be so mysterious as you say! But the children are very cute, come, tell Auntie what your name is? Auntie will bring you candy to eat. Ma Wenjuan was also very happy to hear Niu Sanbao praise herself, and took out a handful of candy from the fruit plate in her hand and handed it to Niu Sanbao and asked.

"My name is Niu Sanbao, thank you Aunt Wenjuan. Niu Sanbao took the candy, and he liked this fairy-like Aunt Wenjuan even more.

"My name is Zhu Erxiang, his name is Ma Daji, and he can't speak yet. Zhu Erxiang also happily introduced himself to Ma Wenjuan, and rushed to introduce Ma Daji to her.

Ma Wenjuan handed the sugar to Zhu Erxiang. also smiled at Ma Daji, grabbed a handful of halva and handed it to Ma Daji.

Ma Daji smiled back and happily took the candy.

"Grandpa the village chief, we want to learn to write with you. Niu Sanbao ate a piece of candy, put the rest of the sugar in his pocket, and said to the village chief.

The village chief listened to his mouth, "I want to learn to write so early, and I plan to take the top prize." As one of the few people in the village who has gone to school, the village chief naturally knows how to read, but he refuses, "I won't teach you." ”

"Why? As long as you ask me to write, I will bring you fish to eat every day. When Niu Sanbao heard this, he hurriedly took the village chief's hand, and Zhu Erxiang and Ma Daji also looked nervous.

"Grandpa is old, and he can't remember a lot of things clearly, but there is a very suitable person in front of him, it depends on whether she is willing or not. After speaking, the old village chief shook his head at Ma Wenjuan, meaning to let Niu Sanbao pester Ma Wenjuan.

Niu Sanbao immediately understood and surrounded Ma Wenjuan: "Wenjuan's fairy daughter, you teach us, teach us." ”

"Abba, you're doing Tai Chi too well, but I'm on vacation anyway, and there's still a period of time before the internship, so let's take these little guys to practice first." ”

Ma Wenjuan graduated from a normal professional college in Shanghai. I'm going to teach in a public high school in the city, and I haven't reported yet, so I'm staying at home, I can't imagine that my father will let me teach the children in the village, but she is kind by nature and she quickly agreed, and she came out of the mountains, and she also knows the children's thirst for knowledge.

The old village chief was very happy when he heard this, "I will ask the village to clean up a small classroom for you today, and walk out of the yard as he spoke." Go out and Zhang Luo.

"Wen Juan, you take care of the three of them, I'll go out and inform everyone. ”

When Niu Sanbao and the three of them heard that the village was going to build a classroom, they were also very happy, and they were busy with Ma Wenjuan, which made Ma Wenjuan laugh.

"Since the class is going to start together, I won't hand over the three of you in the morning, but I can tell you a story. Ma Wenjuan immediately entered the role, went into the house and took a thick picture book, and put it on a stone table in the courtyard.

Niu Sanbao and the three of them hurriedly sat down around Ma Wenjuan.

Ma Wenjuan pointed to the pictures on the comic strips, sometimes using rich language to imitate the characters in the paintings, and sometimes I opened my teeth and danced with my claws, imitating the role of the villain to make the three of them laugh.

In the end, Little Red Riding Hood and the big bad wolf lived happily together. Ma Wenjuan told another story, and at this time, five or six children had come to the yard one after another.

Most of these children are between the ages of five and eight, and they are all school-age children in the village, and when everyone hears that the village chief's daughter is going to give a lesson to everyone, they let the children learn.

After all, the nearest primary school in the mountains is only available in the town 30 miles away, although the village chief said that classes can only be held for about three months, and Ma Wenjuan will go to the school in the city to report after the New Year, but the people in the village are still very happy to let the children study at the door of their homes.

"Wen Juan, the ancestral hall in the village. I'll let them pack up and come out, and you can go there to teach, and I'll find you all the people in the village who are about the same age, and this is the hope of our village, and you have to teach them well!" the old village chief said in a rambling manner.

"Knowing Abba, you can rest assured, I am a specially recruited teacher to enter the city's first high school, can I still teach these children?" Ma Wenjuan closed the picture book again, led the children to line up according to their height, took out a pen and paper from their pockets to register the names of the children, and notified them to come to class at two o'clock after lunch.

The children went home one after another to prepare, and Liu Guiying was also busy in the kitchen for a long time, putting the fish in the pot to make soup. took the time to go home and let Niu Sanbao go home to pick up his aunt Liu Xiuling, and Zhu Erxiang and Ma Daji also went home to explain to the family that they wanted to eat at the village chief's house.

Niu Sanbao went home and helped his grandmother to the village chief's house, and on the way, Niu Sanbao happily told Liu Xiuling that Aunt Wenjuan told them all kinds of stories and arrived at the village chief's house. The village chief has already set up the meals in the yard, especially the fish soup boiled by the village chief's daughter-in-law, Liu Guiying, which is full of aroma, and Niu Sanbao and several children are salivating.

After everyone finished eating, Liu Xiuling expressed her gratitude to the village chief's family again, and then went back with Niu Sanbao's support.

By the time Dao Niu Sanbao came to the ancestral hall, there were already five or six children sitting in the house

"Sambo, come and sit here. Zhu Erxiang occupied a seat for Niu Sanbao in the first row.

When Niu Sanbao sat down next to Zhu Erxiang, he found that Ma Daji was sleeping on the table on the right, and there was a vacant seat on the far right, knowing that it was reserved for Ma Huahua.

Hurriedly asked Zhu Erxiang, "Erxiang, did you go to see Ma Huahua at noon?"

"Go, that kid is still lying in bed, it's a little better than in the morning, and he will probably be able to come to class tomorrow." Zhu Erxiang replied.

"Well, he already knows some words. It should be no problem to miss half a day!" Niu Sanbao said reassuringly.

At this time, Ma Wenjie had already come to the classroom, and Niu Sanbao was busy waking up Ma Daji.

It is said that it is a classroom, that is, a few stools, a desk, and a blackboard hanging on nails, which is very simple.

But Ma Wenjuan didn't care, picked up the chalk brush on the desk and wrote three words - Ma Wenjuan. The children also fell silent.

"My name is Ma Wenjuan, and I will be everyone's teacher from today onwards, you can call me Teacher Ma, or you can call me Aunt Ma. Before I begin, I would like to ask you a question, why study?

"Teacher, learning is for literacy. ”

"In order to read a lot of books, I will have a future interest. ”

Children, you talk about it.

Ma Wenjuan saw the children talking for a while, and concluded: "Everyone is very good, learning is for literacy, but also for reading books to learn skills, and when you grow up, you will have a chance!"

Many of our parents lived in this mountain, and some of them have never even gone out in their lives, and today is our first lesson at the beginning of the school year.

I'm going to combine my own experience and tell you about the world beyond the mountains. It's also a self-introduction. You also need to think carefully about why you want to study. ”

Saying that, he picked up a thick photo album from the desk, which is a hobby of Ma Wenjuan, who likes to use the camera to record all the things he has experienced, the album has wide roads, tall buildings, bustling shopping malls, museums full of art, motorcycles that are rare in the mountains, and big cars.

All of a sudden, the children were deeply attracted by the world outside the mountain, and they couldn't help but have the idea of wanting to go outside the mountain to see.
