Chapter 100: About Childlike Innocence
The first step in class is a routine roll call.
"Childlike innocence. Childlike innocence? Why didn't the childlike heart come again? Fu Qiu frowned, Tong Xin was an eight-year-old boy who studied very hard in the class, but he was often absent.
In the past, it was normal for students to miss classes, but now that all the conditions are perfect, and parents are also willing to send their children to school, basically no students will miss classes, why?
Fu Qiu decided to visit the childlike parents in person.
Fu Qiu has been here for almost half a year, and he has almost run all over this small mountain village, only Tong Xin's family has not been there.
His family lives in a very remote area, and it takes an hour to go to class every day, Fu Qiu suggested that the child should stay in school, but the child was not worried about the grandfather who was alone at home, and insisted on going home every day.
There is a long mountain road to climb to the child's home, but fortunately, it used to be a salt-producing place, and a stone path has already been artificially built.
The trail winds along a stream, sometimes uphill, sometimes downhill, sometimes gentle, sometimes rapid.
Although the air was good, Fu Qiu still felt very tired after a while.
Thinking that childlike innocence has to go back and forth on this road twice a day, and it is really hard, Fu Qiu can't help but feel sorry for this little child.
Although the scenery here is beautiful, it is not bad if you just come to travel, but you have to live here for a long time, completely isolated from the world, and ordinary people really can't stand it.
Why didn't the child's family move out and live in such a remote place? Fu Qiu was even more puzzled.
More than an hour passed, and Fu Qiu finally saw a dilapidated brick house not far from the road.
There were no other buildings around, and Fu Qiu was a little scared in his heart.
"Childlike innocence." Fu Qiu shouted from afar.
"Teacher Fu, why are you here?" Tong Xin ran out of the house and was very excited when she saw Fu Qiu.
"I don't feel worried that you didn't come to class, so come and have a look. Why are you missing class again? Fu Qiu looked at the childlike little face blackened by the charcoal fire, and felt even more sorry for this child.
"My grandfather is sick and I have to take care of him." Tong Xin said and pulled Fu Qiu to turn around and go back to the house.
The room was very low, and Fu Qiu had to bend down slightly when he entered the door.
It was dark in the room, and in the corner there was a bed on which lay an old man.
"Grandpa, this is my favorite teacher Fu I told you." Childlike excitedly introduced.
"Hello, Mr. Fu. Childlike innocence worries you. I made this old mistake again, and this child didn't go to school because he was not at ease. Grandpa sat up.
"It's okay, you're lying down. I just don't know what's going on, so come over and see if I can help. You are sick, why don't you go to the doctor? Fu Qiu regretted it after asking, and she thought that people in the mountains were afraid of spending money on medical treatment.
"It's okay, I'm an old problem, it's like this every once in a while, I'll get some herbs and eat them myself, and I'll be fine. I'm like this when I'm old, and I don't go to the hospital to toss. ”
The current hospital costs a lot of money to see a minor illness, and Fu Qiu understands the mood of the old man.
"Grandpa, if there is any difficulty, if I can help, just let the childlike heart come to me. When you get better, let him come back to class, this kid is quite smart, and he will be very promising in the future. Fu Qiu actually wanted to suggest that the old man go back to the village with her to live for a few days, but she felt that the old man was reluctant to live here, although she didn't know why.
For a few days, Fu Qiu sent food and daily necessities to his grandfather and grandson to help Tong Xin take care of his grandfather.
After finishing her work, she also helped Tong Xin make up for the missed lessons.
"Teacher Fu, why did you come to teach in our small mountain village? I think you are very talented, you are a very educated person, and you are so young, how can you be willing to give up the outside world? The childlike grandfather asked.
"Actually, I've been here for a long time, and I've been too busy with work. Now I can finally put down what I am doing and do what I want to do. "Fu Qiu has too many stories, and it is inconvenient to tell grandpa.
Grandpa stared at Fu Qiu's neck for a long time, sighed, and didn't continue to ask.
