163: Spark
"I'm married!"
Zhao Xun was smiling when he said this.
After getting along for the past few years, Gu Chen didn't know how many caring children he had sent out of the mountains, and the kind villagers had already treated Gu Chen and Zhao Xun as their own relatives.
But after a long time, the villagers will inevitably have no discussions, of course, they seem to be familiar with Gu Chen's family.
Gu Chen told everyone as early as when he first arrived in HP Village that he had an unforgettable emotional career, and his beloved also died in a car accident that year.
So for Zhao Xun, that's not the case.
Such a beautiful woman who is like a flower, both cultured and literate, does not want money or people, but can stay in this mountain for many years like them, and there are no complaints, and everyone will inevitably have their own suspicions.
However, after a long time, everyone will naturally no longer shy away from something, and simply tell their true words.
"Is there anyone in your family? Will they feel comfortable letting you stay out of town all year round? ”
"Are you single now?"
……
However, for Zhao Xun, she didn't feel that everyone's problems made her difficult.
On the contrary, Zhao Xun felt that it was necessary for her to let everyone know what kind of person she was, or how to be an honest person, in order to set a good example for the children.
Originally, some kind-hearted aunts were planning to introduce Zhao to an unmarried young man with good family conditions and kindness, but now that Zhao Xun said this, everyone's eyes widened.
Zhao Xun knew what everyone was wondering about, and of course he knew what the expressions on everyone's faces meant.
So, Zhao Xun explained to everyone that he had been married in his hometown, and Zhao Xun also made it quite clear that he was determined and firm about marriage.
Hearing Zhao Xun say this, everyone slowly died.
Some warm-hearted old people are still sighing secretly in private, and they always feel that it is really a pity that they can't marry such a virtuous Zhao!
In fact, what everyone doesn't know is that Zhao Xun stopped talking about those things buried in his heart.
Yes, how can there be so many in this world?
It's just a matter of getting by, piling up day by day!
In late September, it was the season of autumn rain, and the rain all day and night shrouded Hewlett-Packard Village in silence.
There are few pedestrians on the rain-washed bluestone path, except for a few small restaurants with their doors wide open, as if welcoming new customers from afar.
A few little dolls who had just learned to speak hid under the half-hidden eaves, and used the branches in their hands to outline clear water channels on the ground.
You see, on the old-fashioned roof paved with bluestone slabs not far away, it looks like an old man suddenly rising up in the foggy sky, sometimes contemplative, sometimes yawning one by one.
Standing among the green hills and green tiles, the sound of gurgling water can be heard everywhere, and even the air is mixed with the aroma of the earth.
Zhao Xun used all his strength, greedily sucking everything here.
In the distance, there was the occasional rooster crowing, interspersed with a few dog barks, and even that sound was wet......
may be because Zhao Xun also got the true inheritance of his father, when his father was in the past, Zhao Xun rarely cooked in person.
Now that his father is gradually gone, Zhao Zhao's role in the school is not only a teacher, but also wears many hats, such as some problems such as logistics, which are all covered by Zhao Zhao.
Fortunately, the children not only like Ms. Zhao as a person, but also like to listen to her lectures, like to play games with her, and of course, they also like to eat Ms. Zhao's cooking.
Some naughty children will invite their families to come over for dinner during the slack time, and of course, the most important thing is to bring some vegetables to the school.
However, after the decentralization of the education subsidy, the standard of living of the school can be said to have improved a lot.
After the renovation of the school, the biggest change is that the national flag stand in the courtyard has become more formal, and some small second floors have been slowly built.
Although the school does not have many students, the size of the school is not at all less than that of a county-level elementary school.
In the past, there were no conditions in the village, but after Gu Chen came, I heard that the village was going to build a school and develop education.
So a few people in charge of the village took out of their own pockets and scraped together a few dollars, but the money was only enough to buy a five-star red flag.
If there are no conditions, they use wooden poles instead, there are no trumpets, there is no music, and they sing the national anthem themselves.
But now it's different, the school has changed a lot, and you can see it from the hardware facilities.
The school has set up its own extra-curricular room for the development of children's sports programs to promote the healthy growth of children.
On the other side of the main building, a library was built that could accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.
Moreover, the school has also set up an independent broadcasting studio, and when the national flag is raised on Monday, it has become the most important thing in the school this week.
Several children stood in a row very well, the music sounded, the children saluted the national flag, and sang the national anthem loudly, ** and solemn.
At the end of the flag-raising ceremony, Gu Chen will select one or two students in the class who have made great progress or three good students to stand under the national flag to speak, so as to promote the enthusiasm of children's learning.
After these links, Gu Chen will make a simple speech on the national flag, which can be regarded as a simple summary, and then it will be time to read the Analects.
Zi said: "Learn and learn from time to time, don't you also say it? Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, aren't they also gentlemen? ”
……
Gu Chen read a sentence, and the children read a sentence.
As HP Village has gradually become well-known to everyone, the number of volunteer college students has been increasing in recent years.
The pressure on Gu Chen and Zhao Xun will not be too great, and due to the addition of new forces, the teachers and education level of "Hewlett-Packard Village Primary School" have been raised to an unprecedented level.
As the school continues to grow, the school must elect a person in charge at this moment, which is the so-called principal.
Of course, some of the previous development and construction were communicated through the village chief and some local relevant departments.
But after all, this is not a long-term solution, and the village chief also has to take care of all other affairs outside the village, so the problem of "choosing a principal" has become the most important problem to be solved at present.
After the mid-term exams, in order not to delay the parents to do farm work, Gu Chen specially selected a Sunday afternoon, and invited the parents of the children and the village chief to participate in the meeting and make an open election.
After all the personnel arrived, Gu Chen said his thoughts, probably because Gu Chen didn't want to be too distracted, and Gu Chen kept hinting to everyone that he didn't want to take the position of "principal", he hoped that everyone could choose someone who could really think about the school.
At first, the parents were not assertive, although everyone had a clear idea in their hearts, but if there was no one who stood up, it was still difficult for everyone to speak.
The village chief looked at the crowd back and forth, and finally decided to make a statement first:
"Let's talk about it, first of all, the establishment of Huipu Village Primary School is because of the arrival of Mr. Gu, in a sense, it was Mr. Gu who founded the first school in our village, and now the school is just starting to stand, and many children are going to school, it can be said that Mr. Gu has made great contributions, I first recommend that Mr. Gu come to be the principal of our school."
After speaking, the audience burst into applause.
Some of the bold parents also stood up one by one to express their agreement with the principal's approach.
Everything is a double-edged sword, as long as there are people, there will be dissent, and of course, there will be many people who vote against it.
"After all, Teacher Gu is a foreigner, and he must return to his hometown in the future, and choosing a principal and being a teacher is not a conflict."
Subsequently, there were a few shallow echoes from the audience.
Listening to everyone say this, Gu Chen didn't feel uncomfortable, because Gu Chen felt that everyone really regarded him as his own family, so he would tell the truth.
Because Gu Chen himself didn't have much interest in the position of principal, and this was not his original intention.
As soon as Gu Chen saw that the time had come, he immediately stood on the podium and began to recommend several prestigious big brothers in the village.
Some of the people in the audience nodded, and some shook their heads.
For a while, the scene was a little chaotic.
"Everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet, since everyone has different opinions, I suggest a show of hands to vote!"
The village chief stood up, clapped his palms vigorously and said.
"Parents and village cadres who agree with Teacher Gu to be the principal raise their hands!"
First of all, the village chief, as the elector, raised his hand first.
Everyone looked left and right, and they all raised their hands.
After counting the number of people, the village chief said:
"Parents who don't agree to let Teacher Gu be the principal, please raise your hand!"
At first, one or two parents raised their hands without thinking, and when the village chief began to count the numbers, they began to put them down again.
In the end, there were a total of 3 parents who disagreed, and the principle of minority obeying the majority should be applied, and Gu Chen should have been the principal of Hewlett-Packard Village School.
("You think that if you become a principal, you don't have to teach, do you?")
"Then you're thinking wrong, but you're more multi-tasking......" )
No matter how reluctant Gu Chen was at this moment, but now that the voting results were placed in front of Gu Chen like this, Gu Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet, otherwise what could he do?
As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office.
After Gu Chen determined his "identity", Gu Chen first formulated a new set of rules and regulations for the school.
But for Gu Chen, this is not only a constraint, but also his hope for the future of the village school.
A spark can start a prairie fire.
