Chapter 44: The Last Memorial
After going to Yushan, Flower Shadow felt a strong sense of being needed in her heart. There always seems to be a voice calling to her in the depths of her heart, telling her that her love for education, her fiery original intention of education, where to sow, cultivate and harvest.
One day, the long night was lonely and there was nothing to do, and Huaying wanted to sort out her life. So, I picked up the pen and wanted to write something.
Xue Bin learned about it and was particularly supportive. Huaying typing slowly, Xue Bin will come over to help when he is free.
Xue Bin said: "Now they are all hired by the county management school, you want to stay in Yushan for two years, don't forget to submit the application!" β
Flower Shadow smiled and said, Okay.
This year is the year of competition, and the summer vacation is not peaceful, and many teachers are privately worried about the problem of hiring. Flower Shadow is young, and she doesn't understand what the hell is going on. But there is also pressure.
On that day, the school held a general meeting of all teachers.
Principal Qu personally presided over the meeting. Because Zhao Xiao retired ahead of schedule, the new principal has not yet arrived, and the main work of the school is the three vice principals, including Principal Qu, who is actually the first vice president.
"Teachers, the theme of today's meeting is to officially convey the spirit of the instructions of the superiors on the implementation of the county management school recruitment and the competition to be carried out next. In June, the red-headed document of the county management school has been posted on the school's office platform, and the directors of departments at all levels may have made a brief explanation. Then Lin Ting, let's study carefully together! β
Principal Qu is very temperamental, and his voice is also good. She spoke in detail and seriously, including the competition issue, which was exhaustive and explained to everyone without omission.
But the flower shadow still heard it confused. In the end, she finally figured out one thing with her ingenuity, that is, the school has a surplus of teachers, and if she leaves, the pressure of the school competition should be reduced, which may be a good thing for other teachers who may be unhired.
I didn't expect that it could also benefit others and myself, which couldn't be better.
"After the meeting ended, teachers who are willing to teach in weak schools, or exchange rotations, can ask me to fill out the form and apply. Teachers who are willing to rotate to other primary and secondary schools in the city can contact them themselves, and then they also have to fill out the form to apply! This was to be done within a week, because then we have to do this year's competition! Principal Qu finished speaking to everyone clearly.
After the meeting, everyone was still discussing where to go, and they were still worried about whether they would be hired.
Huaying no longer hesitated, she solemnly submitted an application, applying to go to Yushan Middle School for exchange and study.
She still has no way to forget the surprised expression of Principal Qu when she submitted the application. She said, "How can you think of going to the countryside at such a young age, and it is the most remote and poorest mountain of heavy rain?" β
Hanakage only said that she liked it there.
Principal Qu didn't want to say anything more, so he just said: "It's not a bad thing, now the higher-level authorities are taking more and more care of rural teachers!" β
Principal Qu expressed regret, but did not keep it, because there are really too many elites here, and there is no need to keep them.
Soon, Huaying received a call from the school, and she was really approved to exchange for two years!
Huaying told Xue Bin the good news as soon as possible.
Xue Bin smiled and said, don't be so happy, there are bigger surprises!
"What? And the surprises? β
"That's right! Let's meet and talk! β
"Where?"
"Cafe across the street!"
When you come to the cafΓ©, the aroma is pervasive, refreshing, and sweet.
Hua Ying saw that Xue Bin had already sat in a window position, and his straight figure was indeed very attractive. Flower Shadow patted her head and thought, when did she start to be obsessed with him!
"Nice atmosphere!" Flower Shadow walked over and said.
"Coming? Sit down! Xue Bin got up and pulled out the chair for Huaying very gentlemanly.
"Thank you!" After Hua Ying said this lady's words, she immediately became active, "Say it quickly, don't sell it, what's the surprise?" β
Xue Bin slowly took out something from his bag and slowly pushed it in front of Hua Ying.
Huaying covered her mouth excitedly, she was so happy: "It's going to be published so soon?" β
"Not yet, this is the blueprint, please review it by a beautiful writer, and after it is passed, it will soon be ready to be printed."
Huaying wet her eyes with tears, and she gently stroked the four gilded characters of "One Thought in Ten Years" on the title page, and her heart was surging. This book records her life experience from high school to graduation in the past ten years and some articles written in bits and pieces before.
"Are you ......" Hua Ying didn't know how to praise Xue Bin for a while.
Xue Bin said mischievously: "Don't just say thank you! β
"And how can I thank you?"
"You knowβ"
"What?"
"I said I was going to your house, how long has it been, and you haven't promised me yet! Otherwise, I'd have gone on my own! β
"Don't! I'll take you! β
"Don't fool me, what day is it? I can't wait too long! β
"Okay, this weekend, when I go back, okay? Anyway, the school is taken care of, and I should go home and have a look! β
"This time it's about the same! That's it! Xue Bin was very proud.
"Hey, by the way, I think your energy is so big!"
"That's right, I've got a wide range of doors!"
Flower Shadow stuck out her tongue and thought, really.
"By the way, the book of essays you're still writing, is it going well?"
"It's okay, it's just that I've been less inspired lately, and I think Yushan has learned to give me more inspiration."
"Well, then do you want to join the Prose Writers Association of our province? You can communicate more with those literature lovers, and you can also go out to collect wind together! β
Flower Shadow's eyes widened: "Really? Really? β
"Absolutely!"
"Why are you ......" Kakage wondered.
"I don't know the president of the Prose Association, but when I was running a publication for you, by chance, he saw your "Ten Years of One Thought", appreciated you very much, and wanted to invite you!"
"Really? Why am I so disbelieving? Flower Shadow smiled.
Xue Bin also laughed, his smile was always as warm as the sun, and Huaying felt that Xue Bin was simply her nobleman.
Knowing that he was leaving, he suddenly found that he was even more reluctant to be a current student. It turns out that I plan to bring them to the third year of junior high school to graduate!
Ning Xin said: "You can be relieved, I still have to lead students to social practice!" β
Flower Shadow said, "I'll go too!" β
Ning Xin said: "You don't teach them anymore, and you are still so responsible!" β
"Start and finish!"
"So where do you go? We want to go to the beach to give tourists a city guide and clean up the seaside environment! β
"Good idea!"
"And where are you going?"
"Let's go to a nursing home!"
"The nursing home makes students step on the threshold every summer! You're following suit, huh? β
"No, I just think they should go and see different lives for different people!"
"That's right, today's children are so happy that they forget to be grateful. What day are you going? β
"The day after tomorrow, Thursday, after this stubble, I'll go home for a while on the weekend!"
"Then I'm alone?"
"You can also take Rui Rui back to her parents' house!"
"Don't want to go back! I haven't figured out how to talk to them, how to face them! β
"It's not your fault!"
"I'm afraid to hit them!"
"They'll only feel more sorry for you and Rui Rui!"
"Well, I'll think about it!" Ning Xin asked Rui Rui again, "Rui Rui, do you want grandma?" β
Rui Rui couldn't speak clearly, so she gestured with her little hand and said in a word that adults didn't understand: "Yes!" β
Huaying also thought that Rui Rui was too cute, and couldn't help touching her pink little face, and said, "Rui Rui, so good!" β
Early on Thursday morning, Huaying came to the gate of the "Binhai Leju Nursing Home" with gifts and fruits bought in advance for the elderly in the nursing home, waiting for the students to gather.
From afar, I saw parents sending their children over one after another. Seeing them carefree and running towards Huaying, Huaying was really even more reluctant, after all, they had been together for two years! She felt the urge to cry, so she quickly rubbed her eyes vigorously to divert her attention and hold back.
The dean came out to greet them.
Everyone greeted the dean and said, "Hello dean! β
The dean took the children to visit the nursing home first, and then asked Huaying to take the children to approach the old people and move freely.
"Come, children, we are divided into eight groups, each group is led by the group leader, go into a room, and go to get close to the grandparents inside, okay?" β
The children were eager to try it and were very excited.
Huaying said: "You can help the grandparents inside to clean up the room, clean up, cut their nails, and you can also give them a show and chat with them, can you do it?" β
The children said in unison, "Yes!" β
"An hour later, we were still meeting at the gate! I'll be waiting for you all there! β
The children happily began to work in groups. Huaying also went in one room to take a look, said hello, and saw that they were chatting happily with the old people inside, she was also very relieved and relieved, and felt that these children were still very kind, grateful, and sympathetic.
The dance performed by Xinyi's classmates won bursts of applause from the elderly; Xiaotong's singing voice is beautiful and loud, and it can be heard clearly from outside; and the cross talk of Liangchen and Xiaojun caused the old people to laugh.
This atmosphere is really good, and it is really so that the old people are not lonely and empty, and it makes up for the lack of family fun of the old people.
Huaying was relieved to go to the gate in advance and wait for the children to come out.
When everyone gathered, Huaying said, "Children, shall we take a group photo?" β
Everyone asked the dean to take a group photo.
During this period, Gu Zhen, the class leader, quietly asked Huaying: "Teacher, will you continue to teach us in the third year of junior high school?" β
Huaying didn't know how to answer, she thought about telling them, but she was afraid that they would be sad, and she would be as reluctant as herself, or as the poem said: Gently I go, just as I came gently.
So she said, I don't know, it depends on the school arrangement!
"But, teacherβ" Liangchen wanted to say something, and Hanaying was nervous for a while, because the child's father was the leader of the bureau.
But, fortunately, he didn't say.
Back at the apartment, Huaying began to sort out the bits and pieces of the past two years of getting along, photos of previous activities, photos of classes together, letters she wrote to her children, and separate messages, she made these into a micro-film and put it on the class platform, with the title of "The Days We Walked Together in Those Years".
She didn't know how many people wept like her.
"May you no longer look up at the blue sky, no longer look down at the white water, may you take your dreams as horses, may you live up to your time, may you be down-to-earth in the days of your youth, and step on the mark of life!"
Flower Shadow meditated silently in her heart.
