Just after the pleasant weekend, I was interviewed by Principal Lan on Monday morning.

Huaying was still in class, so Yan Zheng ran to the door of Huaying's class and beckoned to her.

"What's wrong?"

"Shall I ask you what's the matter? Principal Lan called you and asked you to go to his office as soon as class was over! ”

"I didn't have anything? It's all good! Flower Shadow was confused.

"Anyway, the tone is quite angry, I guess it's not a good thing, you should deal with it carefully! I'll give you a breath first! Then Yan Zheng left with a sympathetic face.

Hanakage continues to take lessons.

The bell finally rang.

Hanakage hurried to the principal's office.

The so-called principal's office is actually a warehouse, because all the schools are messy, useful and useless things are stuffed into it. However, for the sake of good looks, it was covered with a door.

Huaying knocked on the door, opened the door, and as soon as he entered, he saw Principal Lan's face of Tieqing.

His expression was serious, and his tone was very stern: "See for yourself!" As he spoke, he threw an envelope in front of Hanakage.

When the flower shadow opened, it turned out to be a complaint letter, and the object of the complaint turned out to be herself! The reason for the complaint turned out to be: only focusing on studying, taking the high school entrance examination, not considering the actual situation of students and families, visiting homes when there is nothing to do, disturbing peaceful family life, not respecting parents' opinions, and slandering the child's innocence! At the check-in place, it was written, Qi Jing's mother.

Huaying thought, this is a good fall, Ming people don't do dark things!

Huaying cried and laughed and said, "No, principal, I haven't even seen this student in person, how can I grasp learning?" When I went to visit my home, she didn't let me in? ”

Hua Ying had an embarrassing scene in her mind about visiting Qi Jing's house.

The first time, she knocked on the door, and Qi Jing's mother opened the door. Ask, "Who are you?" Is there something wrong? ”

Huaying said: "I am the child's new homeroom teacher this year, I heard that you have taken a long-term sick leave for her, I want to see the child!" ”

"Oh, teacher, she's not at home, she's gone!"

"Is she sick? Does it matter? ”

"It's okay, it's just that I'm weak and sick."

"Well, it's not a big deal, when are you going to go to school?"

"Alright, let's go!"

"Oh! Then I'll come back to see her when I have time! It's good to make up for her! ”

"No, no, no! I still have something to do, you go slowly! ”

Qi Jing's mother didn't be polite anymore, and directly ordered the eviction!

As soon as Huaying stepped out of the threshold, Qi Jing's mother squeaked, and then closed the door.

Then, Huaying could still hear clearly: inside the door, a girl asked, "Mom, who's coming?" "This year's new teacher!"

Then on two occasions, she knocked on the door, and saw a figure shaking through the crack in the door, but no one came to open the door. Intuitively, it's not Qi Jing's mother, because she feels so fat and bloated, unlike Qi Jing's mother.

Another time, when Qi Jing's mother happened to be at the door, Huaying asked her again: "When will the child come to school?" I'm going to take the high school entrance examination today! ”

As a result, Qi Jing's mother said angrily: "What to learn!" What's the use of girls going to school so much! ”

After that, the work got busy, and the flower shadow never went again.

Until last Thursday, at the request of Director Sun, she took advantage of the evening when the villagers and children were having dinner at home to go to the village committee radio station to give a lecture on home education with the theme of "There are middle school students at home". It is to guide children to realize the importance of learning in life, sow hope, work hard, tap potential, and pursue progress. It is hoped that parents can pay attention to education and provide a better learning environment for their children.

After the propaganda on the radio station, it was already a little dark. Hua Ying passed by the door of Qi Jing's house, and then remembered it again, and went to see her.

Knocking on the door this time, Qi Jing's mother was at home. But when she learned that it was a flower shadow, she didn't open the door at all.

Hua Ying said through the door: "Mother Qi Jing, it's not okay for children not to go to school, especially girls, they must be educated, and only with culture can they find a good job in the future, and go to a good family, right?" You're blessed! Uneducated, it's easy to be deceived by ......"

Before Hua Ying finished speaking, Qi Jing's mother interrupted her in a cold and hard tone, saying, "You don't have to come again, you don't have to worry if my family goes to school or not." It's messy enough at home, don't bother us anymore! ”

Flower Shadow had no choice but to leave in a huff.

Then, no, I received a complaint letter!

Hanakage said, "Did I do something wrong?" If you want to control dropouts in the capital, don't you talk about it without a meeting? No drop-out students are allowed in the bureau, and the school is responsible...... So, I have to know why she didn't come to school, right? I just said that the child is not studying, it is easy to have problems, and it is easy to be deceived, and I didn't say that her child was deceived? Moreover, don't the students all say that Qi Jing is with a young person who is six or seven years older than herself, isn't I worried that something will happen to her? ”

Huaying had a good argument with Principal Lan.

Principal Lan didn't listen to her, and still looked very serious. He also has his own reasoning: "Other people's children don't want to learn, and parents don't want female dolls to learn so well, why do you make your own decisions?" It's not as good as in the city, many parents don't want girls to learn too well, especially like Qi Jing's family, and there are brothers who need to be supported, go to high school, take college exams, and marry daughters-in-law, don't they all have to spend money? ”

"However, it is not fair for men and women to be the same!"

"Fair? No money, what's fair to talk about? That's the custom here! Girls are used to exchange dowries to earn money for the family! ”

The headmaster was unequivocal.

Huaying also became excited: "Headmaster, you are such a person who loves education, has a progressive mind, and is open-minded, do you think the same way?" ”

She almost slapped the headmaster's desk. But she held back, otherwise she would have to pay for it!

The principal saw that she was very excited, and his tone softened slightly, and he said: "It's not that I want to, I was the same as you when I first graduated, but I have struggled and fought for a lifetime, can't I still change the backward thinking here?" ”

"You can't change it, so we need to inherit your ambition and continue to work hard!"

"But, young man, don't forget the truth that if you are too rigid and easy to break, you will be hurt if you are wise! If you are like this, it is easy to put yourself in it, how can you realize your educational dream? ”

"Okay, what you said, I will reflect, but I will also think of more ways, I will not give up! Also, Qi Jing, even if I can ignore her studying, but, the object of her love, that boy, is so much older than her, isn't it lying to her?! This girl will be ruined sooner or later, as a parent, she must know! Parents have the right to know! How can you let it go? ”

"That's in charge, after all, if something goes wrong, the school is also responsible." Principal Lan was once again cute and didn't stand still.

Suddenly I thought: No! So he put on a straight face again and said, "But, can you manage it?" Are you a guardian? You just have to take care of her at school and don't have an accident, it's best if she doesn't come! This girl's parents are notoriously unreasonable, you can control the proportions yourself! Fortunately, she graduated in one year, and she asked for leave again, you don't know, these two years have been a lot of trouble...... Don't mention it! ”

Principal Lan looked like he couldn't look back on the past.

"Headmaster, I really don't know what to do when you say that......" Hana-kage muttered quietly.

"I don't know! See for yourself! Anyway, let me receive a complaint letter again, and I will have to deduct my performance salary! ”

Flower Shadow was not happy and turned around to leave.

Principal Lan called out to her again, and said earnestly: "Teacher Huaying, I know that you are young, idealistic, courageous, passionate, and capable, but you must know that there are many things that we cannot change. Whether it's a school in the city or a school in the countryside, there are rules that can't be changed. Do you really think that the villagers approve of you? You have to know what parents think in their hearts, how to be the best for a family, instead of taking care of everything and encouraging other children's children to take the university entrance examination, do you know that if you are not careful, you will be left complaining! ”

"Zhao Hua? His dad is looking for you, too? ”

"That's not true, that's an honest family, it's a pity that life is not good......"

"I will definitely be responsible for Zhao Hua's schooling to the end!" Flower Shadow said firmly.

Again: How are you responsible? Are you responsible? Are you a saint? You still don't understand, you haven't thought about it, you haven't suffered a loss, and you don't know that people's hearts are unpredictable. Forget it, young, capital, and can afford to toss. However, you are so capable, so let's go and deal with the relationship between colleagues first! ”

"What's wrong?" Flower Shadow was taken aback.

Principal Lan said slowly: "As soon as you come, the children just like you, how do you let other teachers teach?" You make up yourself well, you make up beautifully, and you teach everyone too, don't you? The life of the teachers in our mountain village is too monotonous, too boring, and a little more energetic! It's much easier to change them than it is to change parents! And the teaching results, you can't do it yourself, can we Yushan raise our eyebrows, this task is also handed over to you! ”

"No, Lan Xiao, it's not my problem......"

"Yes, I'm in charge, I'm in charge, I'll divide the tasks to you! Go for it! ”

"It's not...... Can it still be like this? ”

"This is okay! Look at you, you should be okay, I told you, but you refuse; It shouldn't be, I told you, you're still rushing up! Why is it all screwed? ”

Huaying was really defeated, and she finally understood what it meant to be ginger and spicy! Speaking of which, it's all his truth anyway, but I don't agree with it!

Flower Shadow lowered her head, thinking about these troubles all the way. Back in the office, everyone asked with concern, "Hey! Flower Shadow, what is the principal looking for you? What are you doing? ”

Hanakage didn't want to say it, but after thinking about it: it's better to pretend to be pitiful at the right time! Didn't Principal Lan say it too? There are also colleagues who are jealous of her. It's better to lower your posture first, make the old teachers happy, and then make progress with everyone! Flower Shadow quickly had a plan in her heart.

"Don't mention it, it's been complained by parents! Principal Lan almost didn't scold me to death! Flower Shadow pretended to be pitiful and aggrieved.

"Yes! Students like you so much, and parents complain about you? "The teachers were incredible.

"How can a student be the master of the parents!" Flower Shadow said with a sigh.

"Then why!"

"Because a girl in the class is not good at studying, and she is mixed with a young person who is much older than her!"

"It's that Qi Jing, right?"

"You all know that, huh?"

"You don't care about her! It's not that the child is like a parent, just her mother, which teacher has not quarreled with? Principal Lan hid when he saw her! Finally, we let you feel how we feel! ”

"Oh, no, I don't think it's like schadenfreude!"

"It's to tell you, be bearish, be bearish...... Haha......"

Everyone is indeed gloating, there is no doubt about it, but it is okay to give everyone an outlet, and the heart will be closer to the heart.

"By the way, don't laugh, I'm back with a mission!"

Everyone stopped laughing, but the smile remained on their faces with great sincerity.

"What task?"

"I think it's a difficult task, Principal Lan asked me to teach everyone makeup, saying that it is to add some vitality to the school and enrich everyone's spiritual life!"

"It's not difficult, who hasn't been young, hasn't it? It's just that there has been no one to please himself for a long time, and slowly this makeup technique is lost. ”

"It's all seniors for a long time!" Flower Shadow quipped flatteringly, "You can pick it up if you drop it, can't you?" ”

"That's right, the key is that I can't figure out what Principal Lan thinks, haha, haha, how can you get old and come up with such a play!"

"It's true, I can't guess, I've been blinded by what he said!" Hanakage smiled and told the truth!

"What else did Principal Lan say?" The teachers asked again.

Kakage blinked, thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there is a more difficult task......"

"What is it?"

"He wants us Yushan Middle School to raise their eyebrows!"

"Yo, our headmaster's ambition is back? When you're old and want to make a splash? Teacher Bai said.

"Flower Shadow, he's optimistic about you! You're here, bringing hope with you! Teacher He said.

"Let's work together!" Flower Shadow said.

"No problem!" Everyone made cheering gestures.

Everyone in the office chatted enthusiastically, and everyone remembered when they were young, as if the haze that had been suppressed for many years had been swept away.

At this time, Principal Lan, who pretended to inspect the campus, but was actually eavesdropping, looked like a villain and had a triumphant smile on his face. He just wanted to leave quietly—

"Hello Headmaster!" It's a solemn end of class, and I just happened to bump into it from the outside!

Everyone in the room looked up as if they were looking at the doorway.

"Aren't you going in?" Said solemnly.

"Oh, oh, I'm not going in, I'm going to look around and see if there are any students skipping class—you continue, you continue—"

Everyone laughed. Only the second monk Yan Zheng was puzzled, and asked everyone: "Huh? What are you laughing at? ”

It's time for school! The day was finally saved and passed safely.

Without the laughter of her colleagues, Huaying's mood began to be heavy again, for the girl named Qi Jing, and for all the girls here. The patriarchal mentality is really a stubborn disease that is difficult to cure!

When Huaying came to the dormitory, he saw that the small vegetable garden in front of the door was a little barren, so he decided to work for catharsis: tidy up the vegetable patch in front of the dormitory.

The small cabbage seedlings and radish seedlings in the garden are growing very happily, one by one, lush and lush, quite lush. There are also those moon flowers, daisy flowers, and unknown wildflowers, which are also full of brilliance and brilliance. Flower Image treats these vegetables and flowers with the same care as students, and treats them with tenderness.

After venting her emotions, Huaying sat in the green leaves in the field, secretly thinking about the things of the day. The more I thought about it, the more I felt aggrieved, and the tears fell down without a fight.

I like it here, because the countryside here is simple, and the people are not as complicated as in the city. However, she forgot that each place has its own rules. However, she is not a person who can conform to the rules, all the bad things, she hopes to break them all and reconstruct them.

But if this is the case, how much hard work and twists and turns do you have to do in the middle? Principal Lan has exhausted what he can't do in his life, and in just two years, even if he tries his best and puts his best efforts, how much can people's thinking change?

Secretly sad, Sun Hao came over at some point, he handed over a tissue very gentlemanly and said, "Teacher, are you crying?" ”

"Not really! The wind just now blew the dirt into my eyes......"

"I heard it all."

"Hear what?"

"What Principal Lan said, Qi Jing's mother's complaint ......"

"Blind and eavesdropping? Don't worry, I won't take these little things to heart! Hanakage made a relaxed gesture and shrugged her shoulders. Then he asked, "By the way, why are you here?" ”

"Oh, oh, I'm here to play! I come and play a little bit every day! ”

"It's a good habit to exercise!"

"Teacher, you know what? We all like you, and we all privately consider ourselves lucky to have met you at a critical time in the third year of junior high school. You come to us like a spring breeze, and it has been a long time since this place has been so vibrant! ”

"Really? You're so comforting to the teacher! ”

"Really! I think you're right, don't care what others say or think! ”

"Haha, that's because we're all young!"

"What's wrong with being young?"

"It's good to be young!"

"That's it, I've seen a sentence in a book, and I like it very much, and that is - we are here to change society, not to adapt to the environment! Domineering, right? ”

"Domineering, domineering!" Hanakage was amused, "What an ambition!" ”

"Sun Hao! Haozi! You bunny, you're running to school again? Is school your home? Sun Hao's father called him from afar, and it seemed that he was specially cooking for him to go home for dinner.

Director Sun is shrewd and capable, and in recent years, many projects in the village have relied on him to take the lead, running relationships, resources, and sales, and he is also a person who is very admired by everyone.

"Uncle Sun, are you here?" Flower Shadow greets.

"Teacher Flower Shadow. Sun Hao didn't make a mess for you, did he? ”

"No, the child is very sensible."

"Just him? Still sensible? I can kill people with popularity! Last time Zhao Hua's family, I didn't go to the field to look for me, I came here to find you. ”

"It's so close here, you can't quench your thirst from far away!" Sun Hao grimaced at his father and stuck out his tongue.

"Good boy!" Director Sun was so angry that he couldn't have a seizure. He turned to Flower Shadow and said, "Teacher Flower Shadow, are you weeding?" Or are they thinning seedlings? ”

"Weeding." Huaying asked again: "By the way, uncle, did you just say that you still need to thin the seedlings?" ”

"Yes, you don't know much about farming, this kind of sprinkling too much, the seedlings are too crowded, the water, nutrients, and sunlight can't keep up, and if you don't thin the seedlings, they won't grow!"

"I see!"

Huaying suddenly thought, isn't it the same for teaching and educating people? It may really not go hand in hand, there are three hundred and sixty lines in the world, and someone needs to do it! In this era, it is no longer the time for "everything is inferior, only reading is high". It turns out that it really may be that he is too paranoid.

"Teacher Flower Shadow, Teacher Flower Shadow ......"

The flower shadow was distracted, and in a trance, I heard Sun Hao's father shouting to himself.

"Oh......"

"Teacher Huaying, next time he hoes, let him do it, he is at home every day, he doesn't do any work, this kid has strength!"

"Just do it, I'm willing to help the teacher work, I won't help you, tsk......"

Sure enough, father and son are enemies! Hehe.

This evening, the flower shadow will never be forgotten.

Principal Lan's words may be a little negative, but to change the folk customs, such a major event, we still can't be too forced, we must always take it step by step, and wait for the time to be ripe before we can do it!

And my own overemphasis on learning is indeed a misunderstanding of education, at least a narrow understanding. Education should be guided by the situation and follow nature, so it makes sense to go with the flow and wait for the flowers to bloom.

Parents in rural areas are different from those in cities, where parents are overwhelmingly expecting their children to get ahead by going to college. Here, however, the parents' ideas are very realistic, as long as they are self-reliant, they are good choices.

Flower Shadow comes from the city, and it is indispensable to carry such prejudice.

Existence is reasonable, and what is suitable is the best. Maybe it's really because I'm too high-minded, I haven't really considered the reality here, I haven't really respected the people here, and even imposed my own ideas on others.

Here, it subverted Huaying's original concept of education, and gave Huaying a deeper understanding of being a teacher. All the previous love and volunteer activities are not as good as here, and I can feel the suffering of the world even more!
