Dropping out of school is a major headache for rural schools. Originally there were 78 students, but only 62 students, and the dropout rate was as high as 20 percent. After finding Vice President Meng's report, he was told that this was normal, and it was almost like this every year. Ning Zhiyuan decided to conduct a home visit, hoping to persuade these students back, even if only one of them.

Looking through the report book, he sorted the dropout list out of the school in the order of home visits, and wrote down the home addresses of the students. The first place is Li Suju, who lives in the third group of Menggongmiao Village.

After school, he got on his bike and his butt hurt from the dirt road. Sweating for nearly half an hour, he arrived at the door of Li Suju's house. There are several dilapidated huts, and the small yard is full of firewood, chicken feces and pig manure are everywhere, and it is difficult to get off your feet.

Ning Zhiyuan raised his voice and shouted, Li Suju, are you at home? At this time, a yellow dog ran out and barked wildly, he grew up in the countryside, and he was not afraid of dogs. Seeing that no one responded, he walked straight into the house. A swarthy man walked out and looked at him suspiciously.

After introducing himself and explaining his intentions, a smile appeared on his dark and tired face, and he took out a leaf cigarette and handed it over. Ning Zhiyuan waved his hand to indicate that he did not smoke. The man lit his own cigarette, dragged out a bench, wiped it with his sleeve, and said enthusiastically, Mr. Ning, please take a seat.

Ning Zhiyuan asked, Brother Li, why did the child drop out of school? Su Ju's father sighed and said that the child's mother died of illness this year, and there were three babies in the family, Su Ju was the eldest, and he offered not to read, so he followed the people from Tongcun to the south to work in the factory during the summer vacation. Ning Zhiyuan couldn't help but be taken aback, and said, the child is only thirteen years old. Su Ju's father looked helpless and whispered, there is no money.

Ning Zhiyuan was speechless for a while, and asked unwillingly, can you persuade Su Ju to come back to study, this baby has good grades, I will apply for some exemptions from tuition fees, what do you think. Su Ju's father was silent, and spit out a cigarette in a big gulp, and the taste was very pungent.

No matter how he persuaded him, Su Ju's father never spoke. Ning Zhiyuan sighed, knowing that it was useless to say more. Seeing that it was getting dark, I got up and said goodbye, and set out on the road back to school with a heavy heart.

Ning Zhiyuan spent a week visiting the homes of 16 students. Looking at the three students who were persuaded back, my heart was filled with a strong sense of frustration.

Standing on the podium, Ning Zhiyuan looked at the immature and lovely students in the classroom, and his heart was full of pride, this was his first batch of students.

Being able to call out the student's name at the first meeting is not only a basic skill for the teacher, but also a way to get closer to the student. I stayed up late last night to memorize all the names on the student roster, and today I have matched them one by one, and I can see that the students' faces are full of surprise and joy. He turned around and wrote his name in black and white, and then introduced himself, which was considered an opening statement.

Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Ning Zhiyuan, please call me Teacher Ning in the future. "Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart". I chose the lectern profession where the wax torch turned into ashes and tears began to dry, just to turn into spring mud and protect flowers. You are the sunflower in the green garden, the morning dew waits for the sun, let us together in the east of the Jieshi, to watch the sea, in the long time to witness your growth, in my earnest eyes to see your continuous growth day by day!

The opening remarks like a speech won a warm applause from the audience.

He calmly flipped through the language books and said, the language is broad and profound, and it is the most valuable wealth left by the ancestors to the descendants of China, so let's start with the fifth unit of ancient poems. The students were full of curiosity about this innovative teaching method, and their peers couldn't help but whisper that this teacher was so fresh!

After talking about the first ancient poem, Ning Zhiyuan asked everyone to ask questions if they didn't understand the place. At this time, a girl with short hair stood up and asked loudly, Teacher Ning, what did you say in ancient times for twelve months a year? The class fell silent as everyone looked at the young new teacher with provocative eyes.

Ning Zhiyuan smiled slightly, picked up the chalk, and wrote on the blackboard with a line book. January, Meng Chun; February, Flower Dynasty; March, Peach Wave; April, Huaixia; May, midsummer; June, the month of the Lotus; July, early autumn; August, Qingqiu; September, Sangluo; October, Frost Bloom; November, midwinter; December, twilight years.

Then, he turned around and said with a smile, seeing that Zhang Juan has accumulated a lot of knowledge, and everyone should learn from her! He saw that the immature eyes of the whole class suddenly lit up with admiration.

He went on to say, students, ancient poems should not be understood word by word, but need to be recited repeatedly, the ancient saying goes, read a hundred times, its meaning is self-evident, this is the reason, now please open your voice and read. In the classroom, remembering the sound of loud reading, he slowly walked down the podium to the alley between the desks, carefully distinguishing the students' recitation voices, and correcting the mistakes he found.

When the bell rang for the end of class, he took his books back to his dormitory. At this time, the director of education, An Fufu, walked to the principal's office and said to Lin Jianguo, Principal, Ning Zhiyuan can teach Chinese well, and he treats Zhengke as an early reading class, and the whole campus is clamoring for his class. Lin Jianguo said slowly, don't worry about this, look at the year-end exam results, if it doesn't work, adjust it.
