There was a teacher in the village, and the mountain people and children who could walk around flocked to see what the teacher from the city was like.

In order to entertain the fragrant dumplings from the city, the village chief (for so many years, there have basically not been a few teachers who have volunteered to teach) specially arranged the only cement house in the village for Gu Chen. (Other families are thatched houses, and those with conditions are mud houses)

Gu Chen looked at the only "mansion" in the village, the deep and shallow patterns outside the wall as if they had been cut by a knife, the mottled moss climbed up layer after layer, and the rusty copper ring hung dead between the two doors, as if to tell people the long history here.

In it, Gu Chen seemed to have returned to that thousands of years ago, carrying a pot of tea, and then laughing and talking about our ups and downs together.

Pushing open the door, a dim light emitted a trace of yellow gas, but there was no smell in the seemingly ancient house, the village chief told Gu Chen that this was a 15-watt light bulb, and after receiving the letter from the brigade, the house was cleaned for you over and over again. (Most families here don't light up and can't afford to pay the electricity bill, so everyone basically goes to bed at 5/6 o'clock when the days are short)

Gu Chen knew that his arrival had bothered everyone.

Looking at the house again, the layout of the house is very simple, there is a washing shelf next to a desk, the necessities of life only see a small yellow square scarf and a piece of Naaisi soap (I don't know if my friends used this soap when they were young), a large wooden bed looks good, and the whole room is nothing valuable except for the computer in Gu Chen's hand.

Gu Chen knew that this was already the VIP-level treatment for him in the village, and he would definitely overcome all kinds of difficulties, live up to everyone's expectations of him, and teach with all his heart and soul to realize his dream and realize the children's dream.

Settle down and stay.

After a while, Gu Chen only listened to the sound of gurgling outside, and came closer, opened the door and looked, it turned out that there were people with children in the village, some were old people, and some were children.

Carrying it, carrying it in his arms, there are sweet potatoes, pumpkins, rice, red beans, and there are even people carefully holding a few eggs, Gu Chen saw this scene, tears were in his eyes, everyone was really good to him.

An old lady with a faltering gait and a dark green turban in the lead, she said:

"Young man, you don't need money to teach our children, so that they can get out of this mountain that has trapped our ancestors for generations, we have nothing to entertain you, you can keep these foods for the first time, and come to grandma's house at night to eat mush, your children from the city eat rare." (A soup made from cornmeal)

Although Gu Chen was reluctant to ask for their hard-earned food, after all, his life here was not a basic guarantee, let alone teaching.

After Gu Chen thanked everyone, he went back to rest, after all, he was too tired after a few days of traveling.

After two days of repairing, Gu Chen began to officially teach--Chinese class!

He loved it when the kids called him, teacher, teacher......

But his language is really not very good, and he actually taught the sentence of "Lin Huiyin" to his classmates like this-

True peace is not to avoid the hustle and bustle of cars and horses, but to cultivate fences and plant chrysanthemums in your heart. "As long as we remember the past, we can enjoy it in peace." ”

In this deep mountain, Gu Chen has to go up the mountain every weekend to accompany the children to collect medicine, and then take it to the market to exchange money.

Look, it turned out that the youngest daughter of Liu Erwa's family changed a red hawthorn-flavored rock sugar gourd with dripping soup for her grandmother, the youngest son of Sun Yuanming's family changed a pair of peonies for his father, who had been bedridden for more than ten years, and the grandson of Li Guizi's family changed a brand-new pipe for his grandfather. (This pipe has been used since he first learned to smoke, and later gave birth to a son, and the son gave birth to a grandson, and this pipe has become an "antique")

So, grandma laughed, Daddy laughed too, and even the grandfather who was shouting about spending money secretly laughed, they understood that their children grew up, sensible, and became painful, and they could be regarded as hopeful for the rest of their lives.

These things seem to us ordinary people, what ordinary things they are, maybe you can solve them with 10, 50, or 100 yuan, but for the simple children in the mountains, all this is so precious and so out of reach.

Every time they go down the mountain to exchange the money, they are not even willing to spend a penny on themselves, what they are worried about is that the family is either sick for a long time, or more than half a hundred years old, or inconvenient, or deaf, dumb, blind, paralyzed grandparents, (Fathers and aunts mostly work in other places, only these left-behind lonely old people)

If you have enough financial means, please remember to follow them! (Left-behind elderly, left-behind children) a piece of clothing, a book, will be their desert rain, thank you!

However, after walking through so many mountains and crossing so many rivers, Gu Chen has never seen the locust tree similar to his hometown.

But what he didn't know was that the locust tree in his hometown was out of control as soon as it was in the flowering season, and people couldn't even see a trace of greenery.

The air in the mountains is fresh and natural, enough to wash away all your unhappy past, no wonder the children here live so freely without enough food and clothing, and only innocence and kindness are written on their faces.

In the Chinese class "Out of the Mountains", the children learned about "Beijing" for the first time, Tiananmen Square for the first time, and for the first time, they knew that in their lives, in addition to this mountain is higher than a mountain, there are more, better and more beautiful places to go.

Later, they read about high-rise buildings, asphalt roads, bright lights, Buddha jumping over the wall, and Peking duck, but they couldn't imagine what it was like.

Is it eaten? Is it drunk? Can you still wear it on your body? Can I bring it back to my grandparents?

There is no TV, no radio, no mobile phones (there are mobile phones and no signal), so the children began to be full of longing and longing for this mountain.

So, the children began to study harder, and even did not let go of any gap, when herding sheep, when cutting cow grass, when feeding chickens and ducks, when playing yo-yos, when digging birds' eggs, the children could always be heard babbling in their mouths, "On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil," "Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered." ”

Soon, under the guidance of Gu Chen, the children began to be able to write their own names, do simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, memorize the poems of Tao Yuanming and Li Bai, sing Teresa Teng's sweet honey, and know that there is a large shopping group Alibaba in my country......

Children are starting to learn more and more about the outside world.

So the naughty children asked:

"Teacher, why didn't you see your woman?"

Gu Chen told the children, this is not called a woman, if you say, this is a woman who is who, will make others look indecent, others will laugh at you, you should be called "wife" or daughter-in-law. ”

And the child said:

"Teacher, your wife? Will she come to see you in the mountains? I'm afraid you can't get used to life in the mountains! ”

Gu Chen later told the children that they have not yet married a wife, and when they send you out of this mountain, the teacher will find you a "woman." ”

The children giggled.

It was a relaxation like never before, as if the whole world was his......

Time stands still.

In the following years, with the development of a large number of poverty alleviation work in our country, gradually, the children had new books, new desks, new schools, new canteens, the school was much more spacious and bright, and the children smiled.

Thanksgiving Society!

Gu Chen also has more colleagues around him who volunteer to teach, some are college students, some are social people, and some are unwilling to come but have been assigned, some are in their early 20s, and some are in their early 40s.

Gu Chen thought, no matter what reason they came to work in this difficult environment, in short, they are all working in the same direction, all of them are striving for the beautiful cause of the motherland, and I believe that the flowers here will also bear beautiful fruits!
