Xu Tao'er smiled awkwardly, "Because I haven't taught before, I want to come and see in advance to understand the situation, and then I can go to class directly when school starts." ”

The village chief laughed, "You're quite serious, sit down and drink some water." ”

Although it is a compliment, there is no sincerity in it.

Xu Tao'er could hear it, smiled and picked up the water.

After Xue Hong thanked him, he took out a cigarette and handed it to the village chief, "Village chief, that's the case, because Tao'er is a little far away from Xujia Village, you may need to cook and eat here, and you will also put some things in the school, but the school seems to be leaking rain now, and the door is not very good..."

Before Xue Hong's words were finished, the village chief was already smiling and waving his hand.

"Oh, no, no, don't cook, it's okay to teach in the morning if it's inconvenient, just teach in the morning, just go back in the morning, or come in the afternoon."

"I don't have to worry about the school, it's been like this for a long time, and no one cares about the broken desks and chairs inside."

The principal saw that Xue Hong was polite, and he didn't say anything polite when he was still smoking.

Xue Hong and Xu Tao'er glanced at each other.

"Village chief, this reading is all for one day, and it is only half a day a week, that is, on Saturday." Xu Tao'er spoke first.

The village chief couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the serious Xu Tao'er, "Oh, you really don't have to be so serious, the children in the village just go up casually, and the parents just let the children not be illiterate after they know a few words." ”

"It doesn't matter if you read well or not, you can't read all the time if you read well, and you can't afford to be a teacher and doctor, and you can't afford it."

The village chief waved his hand, "So, you don't have to be too serious, your students have to go to herd cattle and sheep, where will there be anyone in the afternoon, you are alone at school in the afternoon." ”

"This is not the time when the farm is busy, I have to help with the work when the farm is busy, and I am afraid that I will not have time to come in the morning."

The village chief's words made Xu Taoer dumbfounded again.

This situation is actually real.

The principal looked at Xu Tao'er and Xue Hong's expressions and snorted haha, "Oh, I'm sorry, but the situation in the village is like this, everyone is planing crops to eat, nothing is as important as the crops in the field, and everyone really has no money." ”

Xue Hong saw that Xu Tao'er's face was not good, so he took over the greetings, and sent out three cigarettes in a row, asking the village chief to take care of Xu Tao'er in the future.

Then he said that it was difficult to understand the situation in the village, and asked them if they could make some changes to the school.

As long as the school is not demolished, what can the classroom do, the village chief naturally has no opinion, and it is convenient for them.

Xu Tao'er watched Xue Hong, who had not spoken much, say so much, and hurriedly cheered up, according to her previous plan, she asked about the list of students who were going to school in the village, and she wanted to visit her home first.

The village chief really didn't understand Xu Tao'er's approach, but he still said it.

"There seem to be five first-graders, and there seem to be three second-graders, that is..."

Xu Tao'er carefully wrote it down, and the direction of her home was also roughly remembered before she said goodbye from the village chief's house and walked to the nearest student's house.

"There are also master carpenters in the village, right?" Xue Hong asked Xu Tao'er, "Do you know each other?" ”

Xu Tao'er remembered what Xue Hong had just said, "Didn't you think of a way to repair the school by yourself?" ”

Xue Hong nodded, "If you want to teach here, you have to fix it yourself, the rain leak has to be solved, and there is a door, the simplest and most basic thing still has to be dealt with, otherwise you won't be able to carry out your work..."

As Xue Hong just spoke, he suddenly turned his head, "Who?" ”

Xu Tao'er was inexplicable, and before she could react, Xue Hong suddenly stretched out her hand, protected the top of her head, and pulled her forward.

Xu Tao'er was taken aback, and when she reacted, she was already in Xue Hong's arms.
