In the early morning after the rain, a Prado with a license plate from another city drove into the "Lei Village" brigade, and the car stopped steadily at the entrance of the commissary, Lu Xiaobai opened the door and got out of the car, closing the heavy door.

Smelling the air that is fresher than the city, a sense of homecoming comes to my heart, how many years I haven't seen my hometown, how many times I have recalled the scene in my mind.

The commissary was still the same as before, with a group of adults rubbing cards on the card table, children frolicking around, and the old principal of the elementary school leaning against his office on the second floor of the school building smoking a dry cigarette.

On the exterior wall of the commissary, there are also words such as "good ...... family planning", revealing a familiar smell.

Looking at the old principal, Lu Xiaobai grinned.

The old principal is one of the people Lu Xiaobai respects the most, since his father's generation, the old principal has beaten their generation with a ruler, and the middle-aged and below in more than a dozen groups of their village brigade have grown up under this respectable old man's ruler.

Lu Xiaobai took out two hibiscus kings from the back of the car, took out a bottle of old wine, and some treasures such as ginseng and deer antlers, and walked towards the second floor of the school.

It's not that Lu Xiaobai is stingy, cigarettes are expensive, the old principal may not accept them, as long as the gift arrives and shows respect for the teacher, the old principal will be relieved.

Carrying a large bag and a small bag, when he came to the second floor, Lu Xiaobai was very worried.

He was afraid that the old principal would reject his wishes, and what he was most afraid of was that he was embarrassed to accept gifts from others, and persuaded others to accept gifts.

The old principal smoked a dry cigarette, looked at Lu Xiaobai with a smile, and when Lu Xiaobai approached, he pointed to the ground with a cigarette stick, signaling him to put things down, unexpectedly, the principal did not refuse.

Lu Xiaobai put down his things and stood in front of the old principal with some restraint.

Don't look at Lu Xiaobai's fearlessness when he fights, but when he really faces the people he respects, he will seem restrained and helpless, maybe this is the true side of everyone's heart.

No matter how strong a person is, there are some things that cannot be crossed, and they are not willing to cross, and sometimes they are more willing to show their innocence.

The old principal pointed to a classroom next to him and said, "Do you want to move the stool yourself, and I want the teacher to move it for you?" He laughed and cursed.

"Oh, okay." Lu Xiaobai generally walked towards the classroom, it happened to be a weekend, the classroom was empty, he pulled out a chair casually, only to hear a "pop", one chair leg fell to the ground.

Looking at the crumbling chair and the leg of the chair that fell to the ground, Lu Xiaobai's eyes were almost moist, and he felt his nose sour.

The reason why I said almost was because Lu Xiaobai held back.

This chair, the remaining three legs will tilt when you touch it slightly, Lu Xiaobai doesn't dare to stick half of his buttocks, he is still like this, a child whose body is not yet developed, how hard should it be to sit in such a chair to go to class?

Lu Xiaobai thought of himself, why wasn't this the case when he was in class? Every day in class, I have to fix my feet with my feet, and then look for a focus point, just keep a posture and stick to the end of class, sometimes I get distracted, the chair will "click", and the four legs strike, so I can only get up and repair it awkwardly.

I pulled out a few more stools, and they were basically the same.

Lu Xiaobai said hello to the old principal, went downstairs again, went to the commissary, bought a large bag of nails, and started working directly with a hammer.

After working all morning and repairing the damaged desks and chairs, Lu Xiaobai and the old principal went to the kitchen for lunch.

A very simple meal, a pot of stir-fried pickles, a pot of fried tofu, and a plate of peanuts.

The old headmaster has always been so simple, except for a few drinks, he basically doesn't spend any money.

Lu Xiaobai opened the old wine, poured two glasses, and said, "Teacher, how are the children's grades?" ”

"Alas......" the old headmaster sighed, "the people are fierce. ”

The words were concise and to the point, although he did not explain it directly, but Lu Xiaobai also heard the helplessness of the old principal.

Knowledge is easy to teach, but morality is difficult to pass on.

Lu Xiaobai was also quite helpless, and said, "It's really hard teacher." ”

As the saying goes, the poor countryside produces the people, this is not a mockery in Lu Xiaobai's opinion, but forced out by the poor countryside, although the current living standard has improved, but the accumulated habits can not be changed.

The villagers have become accustomed to reasoning with their fists, and although the children are always nurtured by the teacher's moral education, they have little effect under neutralization.

The teacher teaches the child to be polite, and when he goes back, he is beaten back to his original form by the parents with a "fucking", and some parents who do not suffer losses, the child is bullied, and some "you can't beat people can't shout" thoughts.

The old principal shook his head, "No hard work, being a teacher, the most painful thing is that the students are stubborn outside, in fact, this is the teacher's problem, if these problems are overcome, the social atmosphere will be greatly improved." ”

You can see the deep self-reproach in the old principal's words.

The old headmaster took a deep sip, the liquor in his throat, and his face flushed slightly.

After drinking a glass, the old principal said again: "Those stools were smashed by those naughty social teenagers, although the country is often replaced, but it can't withstand the toss, but it only suffers those innocent children." ”

Later, Lu Xiaobai learned that most of those naughty social teenagers dropped out of school after failing their studies, and they wandered around to the school all day long to make trouble, destroying a lot of teaching facilities.

Although the old principal and teachers often reprimanded, those children went in the left ear and out the right ear, and continued to make trouble the next day.

Lu Xiaobai said: "Teacher, maybe I can solve this problem." ”

The old principal looked at Lu Xiaobai in surprise, "Speaking of Xiaobai, what have you been doing when you went out recently?" I look at your car, no less than hundreds of thousands, right? ”

Lu Xiaobai scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Do some small business and make some money." ”

Lu Xiaobai is naturally reluctant to show off in front of the old principal, the old principal often says "high-profile work, low-key life", although Lu Xiaobai does not necessarily feel so, but he also knows that the old principal hates sharp people.

The old principal nodded and said, "Lu Qingshan has also made a lot of money, I saw him a few days ago, I asked him if he didn't care, hehe, maybe the old man beat him a lot before." ”

Lu Xiaobai smiled and did not speak.

He has no right to comment on others.

The old principal raised his glass and said: "Xiaobai, although your academic performance is not good, but you are calm, not in a hurry, people used to say that you are not promising, but I don't think so, I think you will definitely be bigger than Qingshan, don't be discouraged, I also heard about you and Qingshan, I heard that you went out on your own, I don't feel good, now I see that you are doing well, I am also relieved." ”

Lu Xiaobai was stunned.

He didn't expect the old principal to value him so much, Lu Qingshan's industry is not small, and the old principal actually thinks that he can surpass him?
