Chapter 6: Moshan Goes Home
When Moshan received a letter from Liyun, he had just finished the meeting of the principals of primary and secondary schools in Yunze Township, at this time there was no kindergarten and high school in the township, all students were from primary school, five years of primary school, three years of junior high school, there were about 30 primary and secondary schools in the township, Yunze Middle School was near the township government, and it was also the location of Moshan's office.
Moshan's work is very busy, there are so many large and small schools in the township, widely distributed, he wants to visit, to understand the most basic situation, to make a timely plan in line with the development of the township school, to arrange the township teacher team, to appease the fluctuating emotions of some teachers, for example, some teachers are too poor in family economic conditions, often ask for leave to help the family do farm work, affecting the work, the principal does not listen, reflecting to Moshan, Moshan will take the township cultural and educational team to comfort such teachers, to help difficult teachers to overcome difficulties. There are many such things, Moshan can't take care of his small family, there are many children, there is no way, so he has to grieve his wife Liyun to worry more and work harder, he goes home once a month, and twice a month when he is free.
And Liyun is a very virtuous wife, hard-working, both good work and good family, she works hard to persevere, she loves Mossan, this tall man stands there, like a mountain, she sees him at ease, good work, good looks, good character. She loves him like a mountain loves Shanghai, just like going back to the beginning, when she met him when she was 18 years old. Life has always been the same as the first meeting, in the life course of Liyun and Moshan, each other is the most important existence, and their love has been precipitated in marriage and has lasted for a long time.
"Dear Moshan, there is something I want to tell you, please take the time to go home as soon as possible after receiving the letter. Liyun. ”
Reading the letter, Mo Shan frowned, what is going on, Liyun doesn't know how to write a letter about anything, and this doesn't say anything specific, but it's something that has never happened. Then take care of the business at hand, go back tomorrow night, and come back early the morning after tomorrow.
After class the next afternoon, after eating, Moshan dealt with the matter at hand, arranged the painting of the school's walls, and sat back in his office and lounge, working during the day, and turning the folding bed into a lounge at night. Moshan's prestige is very high, he leads by example, his sleeves are clean, he takes the initiative, he is honest and loyal, his organizational ability and coordination ability are very strong, and he has 30 schools in the township, more than 400 teaching staff, and he is very convinced of Moshan, calling him a "good cultural and educational professional" of the people.
Moshan sat in the office, smoked a paper cigarette, took a 10-minute break, and began to pack up. It has been almost a month since Moshan left his wife and children to come to school and work, and he doesn't have many clothes, so he wears two sets of coats in turns, and he has patched them. Moshan is very diligent, also very diligent and thrifty, the money is reluctant to use, paid a salary, in addition to the food expenses, all taken home to Liyun, the elderly and the young, he and Liyun can save money, try to provide for the children and the elderly, just like that, the family is still stretched, no way, and then the eldest child Jasmine Qiang followed his little brother to live in Guangdong at the age of 11, and he was treated as a younger brother to help him take care of the children for a few years, so that the family was relieved.
Moshan took out two small notebooks from a small backpack in the office, which they had bought for the two sisters, Jasmine and Jasmine. The 13-year-old third son Jasmine Cheng is in the second year of junior high school in Yunze Middle School, eats in the canteen with his classmates every day, and comes to Moshan to stay after class in the evening, but Moshan originally carried forward the style and did not want a family room, at that time Jasmine Cheng did not go to middle school, and in the past two years, Jasmine Cheng came to Yunze School to study junior high school, and the school's family room was basically divided, and two sets were left to be reserved for two pairs of teachers who were about to get married. Therefore, Jasmine Cheng had no choice but to sleep with Moshan, Moshan slept on a folding bed, and Jasmine Cheng made a bunk on the floor.
Moshan wants to lay on the floor, his son is in the growth period, he can't delay his growth, he can't freeze the child, but the sensible son doesn't let him, he works hard, saying that his father is tired from work and has to sleep in bed, if his father sleeps on the floor, he won't study. Mo Shan was so moved by this child that his eyes were red, such a sensible son, Liyun taught him so well.
After Mo Shan put the notebook in his pocket, he took out 20 yuan from the pocket of his small backpack, which was his remaining salary after deducting 6 yuan of food and other expenses this month, Mo Shan carefully put the money in his trouser pocket, picked up the flashlight on the desk, and went straight downstairs from the second floor.
Mo Shan walked downstairs, remembering that he didn't say a word to Jasmine Cheng, forget it, this kid is very sensible and smart, and he can guess that his father has something to do. At night, there is a kind of peaceful tranquility in the school, the classrooms are equipped with electric poles, and the students are seriously doing evening self-study. In the wide school lawn, two rows of trees stand on both sides, and the breeze blows, bringing a chill to Moshan.
Moshan took a big step and walked towards the school gate. The fullness and busyness of the past month, or even the fullness and busyness of the past 20 years, made him fearless of the wind and cold. Moshan has been teaching and exercising in more than 10 schools in Yunze Township, growing from a middle school teacher to a principal and a township cultural and educational specialist. Mo Shan loves this job, this career, cultivating successors to the cause of socialism, education is a century-old plan, what a noble job he is engaged in, Mo Yun often feels that there is no honor, but also feels a great responsibility.
He often misses his relatives and feels guilty in between work, but he doesn't have more time, and whenever he wants to find time to reunite with his relatives and teach his children, there is always a lot of work, so he can only say sorry in his heart.
The moon slowly came out, the night spread on the road in the countryside, Moshan's heart was a little pounding, I don't know what difficulties Liyun encountered, if it was a very anxious thing, she would say it directly in the letter, so it shouldn't be a big bad thing, it can be solved.
From Yunze Middle School back to Guangyi Primary School, it was 15 miles away, the moon came out, and Moshan's flashlight was not turned on, so he walked quickly along the road. The road is straight ahead, uphill and downhill, with trees and houses on the side of the road, but far away, and occasionally you can hear the barking of dogs, the laughter of children running and playing, and the smell of the countryside.
Closer, closer, after an hour of fast travel, Moshan has come to the Guangyi Village Cooperative, walk forward 300 meters is a bridge, and then turn to the right, there is a square school in a field, which is Guangyi Primary School.
