Chapter 335: Headmaster, Grandfather, and Grandson
Looking at Principal Lang Maocai in front of him, Zhuo Yang remembered his grandfather who he had never met.
The 66-year-old Lang Maocai has been in this school for 45 years, and he was the principal of the school when it was first built 45 years ago, and he is still the same today, 45 years later. In the past 45 years, Lang Maocai has never left the school for a day, and he has dedicated his entire life to this elementary school at the foot of the mountain.
Although the school is simple, it is large enough to be the central primary school in the local township and the only primary school in the 29 natural villages in the township. Forty-five years have passed, and the population has continued to multiply, and many people have left the mountain villages and turned into towns at the foot of the mountains, and the towns have become county seats.
For 45 years, almost everyone in the county town has been a student of Principal Lang Maocai, and many families have studied under his teachings for three generations. There are now middle schools and primary schools in the county, and Lang Maocai is still rooted here, and this primary school is still the first choice for children in the mountains to study and enlightenment.
Lang Mao is the teacher of a city here, and the principal of a mountain here. He is admired here, just like a saint, no matter how awesome the characters in the county, they will personally come to Principal Lang Maocai on the first day of the New Year to pay New Year's greetings to Principal Lang Maocai. It wasn't requested by the old principal, and if they didn't come once, they couldn't get over it.
Principal Lang said to Zhuo Yang: I am old, but I don't plan to retire, D and the country handed over the children here to me, and I will spend my life teaching them to read and write. I have already told the village that when I die, I will be buried on the hillside over there, and I can watch the school children every day.
When Principal Lang said this, Zhuo Yang could see that he was really happy and sincere. Many people of Principal Lang's age would really struggle and dedicate their lives to simple ideals.
Eight years ago, Principal Lang's son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident, leaving only his grandson Lang Dong, who was less than two years old and had just learned to walk. It didn't take long for his wife to leave him in grief, and only Principal Lang and Grandpa Lang Dong were left in the world.
Lang Dong is a lively and cute little boy who loves to play football. After playing with him for a long time, Zhuo Yang felt tired, but Xiao Langdong was still energetic. Principal Lang asked Lang Dong to call Zhuo Yang uncle, but Zhuo Yang said: Call him brother.
Zhuo Yang remembered his grandfather.
Grandpa also served as the principal of the Township Central Primary School, dedicating his life and even his life. If Grandpa was still alive, he would be 81 years old this year, a little older than Principal Lang, but they all contributed their lives to the cause of education for the most simple ideals.
Zhuo Yang told Principal Lang the story of his grandfather, and Lang Mao was in awe. Zhuo Yang's status as a big star does not make him feel awe-inspired, but Zhuo Yang's grandfather makes him feel close.
Zhuo Yang stayed at Principal Lang's school for two days before meeting Huang Chengjun.
.
Huang Chengjun was very embarrassed, and he and his fellow volunteers of 'Baby Come Home' encountered a huge problem. In similar situations before, their actions have failed.
Eight years ago, a state-owned factory in Tianjin stopped production and waited for reorganization because of poor efficiency, and many workers were laid off, including Liu Mingli and Wang Rui. In order to make a living, the two had to start getting up early and setting up stalls to support their families, Liu Mingli repaired bicycles with keys, and Wang Rui sold needles, threads and socks.
Liu Mingli brought his one-and-a-half-year-old son Liu Fan to his car repair shop every day, which was the tip of his and Wang Rui's hearts.
That day, Liu Mingli only went to a nearby residential building to see a second-hand bicycle in less than five minutes, but he forgot to lock the door of the shop.
Liu Fan lost it.
For the next eight years, Liu Mingli and Wang Rui went crazy looking for Liu Fan, they sold their house, traveled all over China, and rushed over as soon as they heard the slightest rumor, no matter how far away.
In the past eight years, they have been to the plateau, to Sanya, to Jiamusi, and to many places. The couple worked hard, and after saving a little money, they immediately went to find their son. For eight years, Liu Mingli and Wang Rui didn't dare to eat meat, because if they ate a little better, they would feel sorry for Liu Fan.
A year ago, Liu Mingli and Wang Rui met 'Baby Home', and volunteers began to do their best to help them.
Lang Dong is Liu Fan!
Lang Dong was bought by Lang Mao from Ren Fanzi eight years ago, which is not a secret in the local area at all, everyone knows it, only Lang Dong does not know. When Principal Lang's son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident, they had not yet given birth.
Everyone here knows Lang Dong's background, and his information and photos were posted on the 'Baby Come Home' website a few years ago. Through comparison and detailed analysis, the volunteers finally confirmed that Liu Fan was Lang Dong.
Liu Mingli and Wang Rui were looking forward to it in the county town at this time, and the volunteers did not dare to let them come to the school directly, which was their experience and the common sense of 'baby coming home'.
When several volunteers arrived at the foot of the mountain, they were in a dilemma.
Huang Chengjun is well aware of the prestige of people like Lang Maocai in the local area, and almost everyone here has been his student, including village heads, party secretaries, and county and township cadres.
There are only two roads out of the school, one leads to the middle of the Mangmang Mountain, connecting the villages dotted inside, and the other passes through the villages and towns below to reach the county seat. With just a few of their volunteers, let alone forcibly taking Liu Fan away from the school, Lang Mao only needed to make one look, and even a fly couldn't fly out.
The people here are simple and kind, they don't understand the big truth, they only know how to help their relatives and not help them. Lang Mao is their saint, and whoever goes against Principal Lang should not live anymore. Not only could the volunteers not bring Liu Fan out, but their own personal safety could not be guaranteed.
Something like this has happened to Huang Chengjun and his companions before, and there are many of them.
.
Huang Chengjun knew that Zhuo Yang was here, in the newspapers and on TV.
He felt that Zhuo Yang might have a solution, but the other volunteers were very opposed. They said that Zhuo Yang is a star, and he definitely doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, at most, he will only help call the police and then stay out of the matter. In this way, it will be bad.
Huang Chengjun still stubbornly believes that Zhuo Yang will definitely have a way, because Zhuo Yang is his spiritual belief. Huang Chengjun has not told others about his fate with Zhuo Yang, but he believes that if it weren't for his awakening at the Yokohama National Stadium that year, he would still be a muddy person, groveling and struggling on the streets of Japan.
Huang Chengjun convinces the other volunteers that he is going to find Zhuo Yang, and although he doesn't know what Zhuo Yang will do, he wants to give it a try.
Huang Chengjun, who is from the city and the only local accent among today's volunteers, will not alert his fellow villagers by appearing near the school.
Huang Chengjun walked towards Zhuo Yang.
