Chapter 4 Hope

Who says children in the mountains don't have enthusiasm? Who said that the children in the mountains are unproductive? Who says that children in the mountains are inferior?

They give more, they are simpler, braver, stronger!

——— inscription

It's the day, early in the morning.

The weather is clear and the wind is smooth.

Jiang Ruoxue got up early, washed up, and walked out of the dormitory.

He liked it, spacious, bright and with a sober air.

This is a newly built teacher's dormitory, not far from the teaching building, just in the middle of Panshan Town, surrounded by layers of stilted buildings.

There is no doubt that Panshan is a big town, where thousands of families live, including Han, Miao, and Buyi people, although there are occasional quarrels, but they are also happy.

Yesterday came too late and missed a grand Miao song and dance.

She is not lost, she will stay here for a year, and there will be many opportunities in the future, and besides, the purpose of her coming here is not that.

After reading the materials in the middle of the night, she fell asleep.

Today, there are important things to do.

Walking out of the dormitory building, just at the first glance, Ruoxue saw that on the playground, a tiger-backed bear waist figure was boxing, majestic.

That's not Zheng Yong, who else?

"Brother Yong!"

Ruoxue trotted over and said hello playfully.

"You're finally out of bed!"

Zheng Yong seemed to be smiling, looking at Ruoxue, "If you don't listen to the old bed, you have to stay up late!" ”

If the snow glanced at Zheng Yong, he didn't argue.

In fact, she got up very early, but she kept looking at the materials, and she had to know the specific situation of the school and come up with a plan.

"There are noodles in the cafeteria, go and have breakfast!" Zheng Yong said, "You are very expensive, if you are tired, I can't explain it to my sister!" ”

"It turns out that you don't care about me, but you're afraid of being blamed by Sister Chen Xi!" Ruoxue smiled.

"Afraid of what?"

Zheng Yong took a step forward and whispered in front of Ruoxue, "I hope you will hurry up and make a name for yourself, so that you can go back, you don't know, I haven't been with Yuyou for a long time, I haven't had that for a long time, we happened to be at home the day before yesterday, it's rare to have such a good opportunity, but you just came, she arranged for you to do such and such things, tossed the big night, and I fell asleep when she came back......"

"Shameless!" Ruoxue's face turned red, and a puff of smoke ran away.

Coming to the kitchen, a few students, in twos and threes, were eating breakfast.

Seeing Ruoxue, everyone was very curious.

"Hello!" Ruoxue said hello, and Shi Shiran walked to the window.

"Ah, Principal Jiang is here!" The kitchen aunt said, "What to eat?" ”

"Just cook a bowl of noodles, just put some vegetables, no meat! Thank you! With a chuckle, Ruoxue walked over to the students, sat down beside them, and sat down casually.

"You...... Are you our new principal? One student asked, surprised.

"Yes!" Ruoxue asked rhetorically, "Isn't it like that?" ”

"It's not like ......" another student blurted out, then reacted and hurriedly said, "Principal, I didn't mean that, it's just, it's just ......"

"I'm too young, am I!" Ruoxue smiled, "It's the summer vacation now, except in the classroom, in other places, don't treat me as your principal, treat me as your friend, just a big sister, don't be restrained, say whatever you want!" ”

"The principal is so nice! Beautiful, easy-going and approachable! ”

A girl looked at Ruoxue, her eyes full of stars, "In the past, our principal had a stinky face all day long, as if someone owed him a lot of money!" ”

"Giggles!" Ruo Xuejiao laughed, "You all graduated from Panshan Elementary School, right?" ”

"Yes!" The little girl said in a low voice, "We don't have a middle school here, if you want to go to middle school, you have to take the Ancheng exam, many people drop out of primary school, it's not easy to take the test, and go to the city to study, the tuition fee, the living expenses are very high, it's not easy to get in, and I can't afford to go to school, we are really lucky this year, just graduated, Dawn School has been established, we are the first students of Dawn School!" ”

"You're in third grade soon, aren't you?" Ruoxue asked.

"Yes!" One man said seriously, "So we didn't go home, we tutored in school, and tried to be admitted to Anseong No. 1 or No. 2 Middle School next year, and then go to university!" Principal, you don't know, we don't have a college student in Panshan, if we have a few college students in this class, the neighbors will be proud of us! ”

Ruoxue's eyes moved and asked, "So, are you all willing to study?" ”

"Who doesn't want to study!" The little girl said, "It's just that the conditions are not good, many brothers and sisters are busy subsidizing the family, either going out to work or doing things at home!" ”

"Isn't our school free of tuition and accommodation fees?"

Ruoxue asked, "Eating in the cafeteria is only seven or eight yuan a day, which is the minimum standard, why don't so many students come to school?" Are you afraid that going to school will be boring and boring? What do you think? Have fun in school? ”

"It's a little stuffy!" A boy said, "But which school is like this, we are here to study, not to play, mainly those brothers and sisters go out to work, can earn a lot of money, I heard that there are two or three thousand yuan a month, who is willing to come to study, many people say, the reaction is not high school, admitted, and can't afford to go to college, after college, you have to find a job again, what a waste of time!" ”

"Do you think so too?" Ruoxue asked.

"Of course not!" The little girl said, "How can there be nothing in this world, if you want to live a good life, you must work your own, everything depends on the support of others, so what's the point, of course, the job is found by yourself, the teacher said, you must arm yourself with knowledge, learn real skills by yourself, and I'm afraid that there is no good job, isn't the principal the best example?" We're not a few years older than we, and we're already principals! ”

Ruoxue knew in her heart.

It turned out that this was the case, not that those students did not want to come to school, but that the burden on the family was too heavy to bear, and after a long time, they became discouraged.

Going out to work? At a young age, many of those children are underage, if it is not forced by life, who wants to give up their studies? Even if you are a playful student who is not interested in going to school, you should not go out to work so early!

There is also an important point, the attitude of the student's parents.

From the words of these students, it can be heard that those parents are very negative, and in short, they feel that going to school is useless.

How ignorant and shallow this is.

If you go out to work and earn two or three thousand yuan a month, you will make a lot of nonsense and say that it is useless to go to school, what arrogance this is.

Ignorance is not terrible, what is terrible is that you are ignorant and arrogant for granted.

"Principal Jiang, your face is ready!" The cafeteria aunt came over with a bowl of noodles and happily placed it in front of Ruoxue.

"Ahh Ruoxue hurriedly got up, she had forgotten to get the noodles herself.

"Thank you, Auntie! Great work! ”

"Headmaster, I'll discuss something with you!" The cafeteria aunt thought about it and said.

"Okay, you say!" Ruoxue smiled.

"That ......" the cafeteria aunt hesitated for a moment and said, "The one in my family has nothing to do at home, I want to ask him to come to the school to do some chores, you can do anything, you see, there are three children at home, a little ......"

"Auntie, there are only two people in your cafeteria now, right?" Ruoxue asked.

"Yes, every Monday and Thursday, there has to be a guy who goes to the city to eat, and sometimes it's too busy!"

"Then you talk to the uncle, if he is willing, come to the canteen to help, what is the salary, how much are you and how much is he, how?" Ruoxue said.

"Really?" Auntie was pleasantly surprised, "Great! ”

"As soon as the next semester starts, your salary will be raised, and Auntie should pay attention to the hygiene of the canteen, maybe it will be harder, and run to the city a few times a week so that everyone can eat fresh food!" Ruoxue continued.

"Thank you, Principal Jiang! You're so good! The cafeteria aunt burst into tears, grabbed Ruoxue's hand, and kept thanking her.

In this big mountain, the land is barren, there is very little arable land, it is difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing, and it is not easy to have a job.

I want to go out to work, but the children and the elderly at home have no one to take care of, so I can't bear it, so I can only live in the mountains, isolated from the world, and spend my years in waste.

Who doesn't want to live a good life? If given the opportunity, who would give it up easily?

"Yes, don't thank me, you pay, you deserve it!" Ruoxue said, "Auntie, go get busy, if you have any requirements in the future, you can tell me directly, I will come to the cafeteria to eat every day!" ”

"Okay! Thank you, Principal! The kitchen aunt answered and went away full of joy.

"That...... Headmaster! A boy smirked, "If we have any requirements, we can ask for them!" ”

"Yes!" Wakayuki nodded.

"Then, can you turn off the lights late at night, eleven o'clock is too early, and we still have to review our homework!"

"Are you reviewing your homework?" Another boy pouted, "I don't sleep in the middle of the night, I keep making noise, don't listen to the principal!" ”

"I want to add some extracurricular activities, so it's good, otherwise it's really boring, and the passion for learning is gone!" A woman yearns to say.

"This can be considered!" Ruoxue said, "I will discuss with other teachers to appropriately add some extracurricular activities, such as some literary programs, comprehensive competitions, etc., if there are conditions, you can also organize everyone to go to the city to play!" ”

"Wow!" Several students stood up and danced.

"Really, Headmaster? Want to take us to the city to play? One of the boys cheered, "I haven't been to the city yet, that's great!" ”

"Of course, it is impossible to take everyone at once, you have to go in batches, then it depends on your performance, next semester, your third year will be given priority!" Ruoxue said.

"Yay!" Several students cheered.

Ruoxue turned her head and found that at some point, many students in the cafeteria crowded in, circled around Ruoxue, and began to sing.

"Who says kids in the mountains don't have enthusiasm? Who said that the children in the mountains are not angry? Who says that children in the mountains don't have a quest for life? They give more, they take less, they are simpler, they are braver, they are stronger! ”

Ruoxue whispered and picked up her chopsticks.

"Brother Yong is right, if you want a person to be positive, first you have to give him hope! And hope is the road, there is a way to go, there is hope! ”

She's not in the wrong place.

This will be her ideal place to set sail.

Along with her, there is also a group of innocent children.

She will give everything she has, and she will be proud of it.

"I'm going back and telling my brothers and sisters to let them come to school, and I'll tell them that we have a new principal, and that's fine!"

"I'm going back too!"

"Yes, let's go back together and spread the news all over Panshan Eighteen Villages!"

Listening to the students' voices, Ruoxue took a bite of noodles and smiled.

She's more confident!

"Those teachers, I haven't seen them yet, it's time to meet them, they should be in a hurry!"
