Chapter 273: An Isolated School
Chapter 273: The Isolated School
"Cave Elementary!"
Just four words, carved on an earthen wall.
Behind the wall is a natural cave, which is both a school and a classroom.
There is no playground, no roof, the sun shines into the cave, the sound of books rings through the jumble of rocks, echoes in the valley, where there is no water or electricity, only a muddy path leads to the town 18 kilometers away, 146 students in five grades, one teacher.
"Is this a school?" Sophie asked.
Soon she knew that this was indeed the school, a small blackboard, a desk leg was incomplete, and the "walls" of the classroom were all made of broken cardboard and old newspapers.
A teacher who looks like a college student is giving a lecture on the stage, he has a Chinese face, wears glasses, a dark and thin figure, and simple clothes, but these can't hide his bookish anger, and everyone can feel that he has integrated into this poor place.
βIlovechinaοΌ (Love My China)" Teacher Xu taught the children to read English on stage.
βIlovechinaοΌ (Love me China)" The children read aloud.
Huo Xixian and Alice's eyes immediately turned red, not because of this incompletely pronounced English, but because of these children.
The children's clothes were simply beyond their imagination, and now it was close to winter, and some of them were still wearing tattered and dirty single clothes, but that man's chest was always straight, and his head was raised high, and you could never see the expression of "afraid of the cold" on his face;
Some of the children's liberation shoes can no longer be broken, and their toes are sticking out, apparently they have to walk several miles of mountain roads every day to attend classes, but the owner of the shoes tells everyone: "I have never been late!" β
There are a lot of broken bowls and broken Gu in the back row of the classroom, which are obviously leftovers from noon, but you can't tell the difference between them and pig food at all, and there is even a foul smell.
Alice couldn't help it, and ran outside and spit out with a "wow", and vomited all the sour water.
There is a flag-raising platform on the earthen dam outside the teacher, and the five-star red flag flutters on the flagpole.
The flag has appeared in different places at different times and places, but none have ever been so impressive to him.
Few people think about the meaning of the national flag, under the bright red flag is the oath, the blood, the youth, of course, it is more of a responsibility, whether you are a player or not, but you should remember this cry "Imchinese!" (I'm Chinese)"
The night soon came, and Lu Fei was arranged to live in Mr. Xu's room, a house of more than 10 square meters, which was Mr. Xu's learning paradise, a relatively large table was full of books, and daily necessities and items donated by well-wishers were placed on the ground, and the originally small room became even more cramped.
Lu Fei wanted to speak several times, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips.
He knew that Mr. Xu was a graduate of East China Agricultural University and volunteered to come here to teach, but in addition to respect, Lu Fei really didn't know how to describe this young teacher.
"Lu Fei, thank you." After Mr. Xu finished correcting his homework, it was already completely dark at this time, "I saw you when I was still in Huanong." β
Lu Fei said: "Oh? β
Teacher Xu smiled: "I saw it on TV, you were still in the United States at that time, shouting that I am Chinese." β
Lu Fei also smiled humbly: "Actually, I'm not as good as you, Teacher Xu." β
Teacher Xu said: "But you are a person who contributes to the society and is a pillar of the country. β
Lu Fei didn't say anything more, the starting point of the teacher's idea was different from the starting point of an e-sports player like him.
But he felt that he was actually very small, when he and Vesslan were discussing with great interest the reasons for the backwardness of China's e-sports system in the air-conditioned room, and when he was thinking about how to revitalize China's CS power, this young teacher, in the depths of the mountains at night without lights, silently expressed his love for the children in this classroom and room.
That's the difference.
The two of them came outside, and the stars were shining outside.
In fact, this is just to save money, a candle and an oil lamp are extremely extravagant consumption here.
Lu Fei had never seen the starlight so clear and so charming.
In the distance, two children hurried over in the night.
"Teacher Lu, Teacher Lu!" The children also called Lu Fei like that.
Lu Fei smiled, this is a little boy and a little girl, their eyes and expressions are almost innocent, it is a kind of innocence that people dare not face.
"What's wrong?" Teacher Xu asked.
The two children ran in front of Lu Fei, their heads bowed, as if they had made some mistake.
Lu Fei straightened the boy's shabby collar and patted his head: "What's your name?" β
"I, I, my name is Xiaofei." The little boy replied in a low voice.
"Dumbo? How is it the same as my name. Lu Fei smiled again, "Little sister, what about you?" β
The little girl was a little more generous: "Teacher Lu, I, my name is Fangfang, and I am Xiaofei's sister." β
Lu Fei patted their little heads, and there was an indescribable pain in his heart.
On such a cold night, the young lady and brother were still wearing thin ragged clothes, and their lips were frozen purple.
"What's wrong with you two, you still come here so late." Teacher Xu asked.
The two buried their heads lower.
Lu Fei and Teacher Xu asked for a long time, and the two of them said what happened.
It turned out that Huo Xixian, Alice, Vesslan and Sophie were arranged in their house, Alice felt that the children were very pitiful, and Vesslan had already been shocked and wanted to help them.
This was the first night that everyone had enough of suffering, and the fleas crawling all over the body almost made it impossible to sleep, especially the white and tender Alice, who was bitten all over her body.
The village chief is afraid that the guests will be left out in the cold, and most people here eat cornmeal, potatoes and sour soup, and the village chief specially brought rice today, and Alice They enjoyed a meal made of potatoes, eggplant and tomato soup, which is already the highest level of treatment.
Despite this, the sanitary conditions are simply too poor.
If you find flies flying everywhere during a meal in Xijing City, and there is a fly in the bowl at any time, I am afraid that no one will be able to eat it, but it is a normal phenomenon here.
During dinner, Alice vomited ten times, and the vomiting was exhausting, more than a pregnant woman.
But after figuring out that he was enjoying the highest treatment, Huo Xixian and the others felt that they couldn't get over it, and they forced the hundreds of yuan they carried with them to Xiaofei's grandmother.
And this move made Xiaofei's grandmother dissatisfied.
When the reason was told by the Xiaofei sisters and brothers, Lu Fei was shocked again.
Because Xiaofei's grandmother had never walked out of this mountain, she had never seen a hundred yuan at all, and thought that Huo Xixian was fooling herself, but the village chief only told her that it was real money after she came......
"Teacher Lu, I'm sorry, please tell those big sisters, we blamed them." Fangfang said guiltily.
Lu Fei turned his face away, he didn't dare to face the children's expressions, the people here had never even seen a hundred-yuan bill, it could be seen how backward it was, it was unimaginable.
Lu Fei changed his smile and tried to divert the topic: "Xiaofei, do you speak English?" β
Xiaofei also smiled: "I will, Imchinese!" β
Fang Fang also followed: "I will too, Ilovechina!" β
The pronunciation is not standard, but the smile on Mr. Xu's face is even brighter.
Lu Fei's heart moved, and he returned to the room and took out his laptop that he would never leave, which was specially tailored for him by Inter on CG.
"Come, come, show you something, do you know what this thing is?" Lu Fei turned on the computer, and in the dark, the fluorescent screen glowed.
"Hey, what is this boxy iron box, it will glow." Dumbo's eyes lit up.
"Mr. Xu, is this iron box the TV you told us?" Fang Fang was also very interested.
Lu Fei smiled: "This is not a TV, its name is a computer." β
Fang Fang said: "I know, Mr. Xu also told us, it is a very advanced computer. β
Lu Fei praised: "Clever! β
Immediately, Lu Fei opened the interface of CS and began to build a separate host, fiddling with the scene in Desert II.
This time, not only Xiaofei and Fangfang, but even Mr. Xu was attracted by the scene of real knives and guns.
"It's a game, it's called Counter-Strike, and the English name is Conter-strike!" Lu Fei explained to the two children, "In foreign countries, it is a sport with many competitions, just like the Olympic Games, and in China, it is also a competitive sport approved by the state, which has led many people to participate. β
Xiao Fei listened carefully and listened with relish: "Teacher Lu, I, I, can I touch it." β
Lu Fei smiled.
The two children put their little hands on the touch screen and moved the cursors, looking in love.
Teacher Xu looked at them lovingly, and the children always seemed very cute and full of curiosity about new things.
After fiddling with it for a while, Lu Fei asked, "Do you want to learn, I'll teach you." β
Xiao Fei hurriedly said: "Learn, learn, I want to learn, Teacher Lu will teach me." β
Lu Fei smiled: "If you want to learn Counter-Strike, you must first learn computer principles. β
"What is computer theory?" Xiao Fei looked at Lu Fei in confusion.
Lu Fei did not answer positively: "If you want to learn the principles of computers, you have to learn English." β
Fang Fang also looked at Lu Fei.
Lu Fei said with a smile: "If you want to learn English, you have to learn the Chinese language of our motherland, and you have to learn mathematics, geometry, nature, history, politics, geography and ......."
The two children were a little stupid when they heard it, but Mr. Xu understood Lu Fei's intentions and knew that he was giving him a step-by-step and good guidance, which was to let the children understand the usefulness of learning scientific knowledge.
After teaching for a long time, Fang Fang said: "Teacher Lu, teach us well, we will study carefully." β
Lu Fei glanced at Teacher Xu, but Teacher Xu smiled and said, "It's so late, you go home first, don't delay Teacher Lu to rest, Teacher Lu will go to the school tomorrow to teach you." β
The two children reluctantly left.
Lu Fei smiled: "How? β
Teacher Xu also smiled: "Actually, you are quite suitable to be a teacher." β
Lu Fei smiled: "You're right, I just want to be a teacher and teach the two of them a private teacher." β
"Oh, how do you say?" Mr. Xu is interested. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the Literature Network Game Channel, more chapters, support the author, read!) οΌ
