After finishing the potion and sending Tang Boqiang back to the classroom, Ouyang Qingfang asked everyone to stop their activities, pack up their things, and leave the students on duty to clean up and announce the end of school.

Looking at the back of Tang Boqiang carrying his schoolbag, Ouyang Qingfang thought about it and decided to go to the home of the student she had always liked tonight for a home visit.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Ouyang Qingfang arrived at Tang Boqiang's home next to the Bajiao River on time. The door of the house was open, the lights were dim, and the flame of the kerosene lamp was deliberately turned as small as possible, and the faint flame would flicker in spite of the glass shade and the breeze blowing.

Ouyang Qingfang reported his name and explained his intention, Tang Boqiang's father hurriedly greeted him and invited Ouyang Qingfang to sit in the brightest place of the kerosene lamp, and Tang Boqiang's father also sat down with him.

After adapting to this lighting environment, Ouyang Qingfang saw Tang Boqiang's home clearly. This is the hall of the family, which is full of various tools used by the families in Octagon Town to process the products of various manufacturers in the town to earn living expenses: for rubbing firecrackers, for shaving bamboo, for knocking melon seeds, for stickers, etc., the whole home is like a processing factory, Tang Boqiang's mother and three sisters are constantly busy with their hands and feet. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that their family background is not good, and when the teacher comes to visit the home, they dare not stop what they are doing, so they have to let the father accompany the teacher.

Ouyang Qingfang looked sad for a while, she knew that in such an environment, it was indeed a very difficult thing to ensure that her five children had food to eat and books to read.

Ouyang Qingfang told his father in detail about Tang Boqiang's situation at school, of course, he praised the student, and also said that his physical fitness was poor, and he hoped that his parents would encourage him to participate in sports activities and enhance his physique.

Even if the lights were dim, Ouyang Qingfang saw and felt that Tang Boqiang's father was a very gentle and kind person. After listening to his son's affairs and the teacher's advice, he sighed softly and said: "Thank you teacher for your concern for my family Boqiang, Boqiang has been in poor health since he was a child, almost without leaving his mouth, these two years are better, he is young, but very sensible, never need us to worry about his studies, he is also very independent in life, he will not let his parents and brothers and sisters help him when he can do things by himself, because the family is not good, he gives Boqiang a maximum of 2 cents or a maximum of 5 cents of pocket money every month, which makes me happy, He cherishes these pocket money very much, and rarely uses it to buy snacks, but uses it to rent villain books in the villain bookstall near Xinhua Bookstore, and after reading it, he is very excited to come back and tell us the story, what Yue Fei and Guan Yu are his idols. I hope that the problem of poor physical fitness will gradually improve in the future, and of course, I will encourage him to participate in more sports activities. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at his busy family, his eyes full of kindness and heartache.

"No matter how hard it is, Bo Qiang's mother and I will let Bo Qiang and his brothers and sisters finish the book, we have tasted the pain of illiteracy and lack of education, and we will never let our next generation follow our old path!" Tang Boqiang's father was full of perseverance, as if he was talking to himself, and also seemed to be talking to Teacher Ouyang.

Ouyang Qingfang visited the homes of many students in Bajiao Town, and their situation was similar to that of most of the people they saw, and they also hoped that their children would learn cultural knowledge in school. But it was the first time that a family like Tang Boqiang's father attached so much importance to educating the next generation had seen it, so he instantly understood why Tang Boqiang was so conscious of his studies, why his grades were so good, and why he gritted his teeth and didn't cry after being injured. As a teacher, Ouyang Qingfang certainly understands the importance of school and teachers, but family is more important for the growth of a person's mind!

Walking out of Tang Boqiang's house, Ouyang Qingfang faced the cold north wind blowing on the riverbank, and slowly walked towards the school not far away in the night. She didn't care about the cold winter night, on the contrary, tonight's home visit made her more determined to let students learn more about culture and think of ways to deal with the current situation. For a while, a sense of responsibility and pleasure came to her heart, she clenched her fists and said softly: "What is the uselessness of reading, to hell with it!" ”

For some reason, the layout of Zhonghua Primary School is very special, with a West Creek separating the school into two districts. Ouyang Qingfang's second-grade class is on the west side of Xixi, known as the West District, and the south side of Xixi is a raised ridge, which is the South District, from the West District to the South District, you have to cross a stone bridge across the West Creek, and then you have to walk a long and high staircase to reach the South District campus, most of the classes in the school are in the South District, and there is only one classroom and a dormitory in the West District, and the West District exists like an independent kingdom. Except for school-wide meetings or sports days, students in the West Side rarely go to the South Side to play activities.

The South District is the main campus, and the number of students accounts for the vast majority, coupled with the uneven quality of teachers, the requirements for students are naturally different. During recess, the noise in the South District was deafening, and even the bell rang for class, and many students who were crazy were reluctant to return to the classroom.

The West End is a different story. The class is very quiet, and everyone takes the initiative to come out during recess, but it is very orderly and relatively quiet.

There are two classes in the second grade, and the results of one class in the year-end exam are the best. Although the principal Wang Yimin is a rebel, because he was transferred to Bajiao Town from other towns, he has no foundation in the school, and he is also a smart person, knowing the temperament of the people of Bajiao Town and the importance of knowledge, so he also shows great respect for most of the teachers in the school who are keen on teaching. This is probably the basic portrayal of all the schools in Octagon Town at that time.

At that time, the school curriculum was simple. The main ones were Chinese, mathematics and music, and it was precisely at that time that Zhonghua Primary School had very persistent and high-level teachers in these three subjects, and they were as obsessed with education as Ouyang Qingfang, and the political situation in the outside world did not have much impact on them. Of course, this also benefits from Wang Yimin's "tolerance".

For Tang Boqiang, such an environment makes him feel like a fish in water. As always, he quietly travels back and forth between the school and his nearby home, studying quietly, and has always maintained the first place in his grade.

In the fourth grade, Tang Boqiang had to leave the West District to go to school in the South District, and the head teacher also changed. According to school practice, the change of grade does not affect the change of students and class names, but the class teacher is different. But this time it is said that something is different, Tang Boqiang heard from the classmates that in order to win the position of the head teacher of the first class, the two teachers did not let each other and even quarreled at the school teachers' meeting, and finally Guan Pingfan, who was called "drunkard" by the students, became the head teacher of the first class.
