Chapter 629: Lost Spirit

My name is Zhao Chengcai, I am ten years old this year, my nickname is Dog Baby, and the people in the village talk about what untouchables are easy to feed every day, so in our Zhaojiagou, the nicknames of my friends are not very good.

For example, there are dogs, eggs, plugs, pillars, barking and barking, but they have forgotten their real names.

Among these children in Zhaojiagou, the child king is called "Huzi", in fact, this child king is not too tall, and the fight is not very good, and the reason why he can become the child king is because we think his name is "foreign".

Today, I'm in a bad mood.

That is, a few months ago, an outsider suddenly came to our Zhaojiagou, it was a white and pure man, who looked less than thirty years old, Si Swenwen, and said that he came to our Zhaojiagou school to teach.

This may be a good thing for Zhaojiagou, after all, our school in Zhaojiagou has always had only one old gentleman, who is seventy years old this year, but his surname is not Zhao, but his surname is Li.

I heard that it was his grandfather's grandfather who fled to our Zhaojiagou, and what else did he say, the ancestors raised people, laughed to death, what's the big deal about lifting people, and the dog is left with that turtle grandson who can't be lifted up and thrown on the ground seven or eight times by me seven or eight times a month?

It's just that recently, my dad didn't know which tendon was twitching, so he had to send me to the school.

This is a terrible thing indeed.

"Dad, I really don't want to go to school, I heard Huzi bolt they said, school is boring, don't talk, don't run around, and even pee has to be allowed by the teacher...... I can still accompany you to hunt and chop wood at home, and my brother is still young, so I have to take care of ......."

"Less fart! This new teacher is right, if you stay at home and chop firewood, then you can only chop firewood for the rest of your life, you go to class, and you will have a chance to get out of our Zhaojiagou in the future, maybe you can still be a college student, and then you will be regarded as a glorious ancestor, and Lao Tzu will be able to twice in the future! My father said in a very rude voice.

But Zhao Jiagou's masters, how many are not like this?

My father's name is Zhao Sanwu, I once asked my grandfather, why did I give my father such a name, grandpa said, because my father can't have four or six, this must be a joke, the name was born, how can a newborn child not see the character of four or six at a glance?

In Zhaojiagou, my father still has some status, the main reason is that he has great strength, and once single-handedly killed a wild boar, in this deep mountain, the wild boar is much more powerful than any wild wolf, or there can be no pig, two bears and three tigers.

"Little rabbit, run faster, and when you get to the school, you must listen to Mr...... Oh no, if the teacher asks you to do anything, you will do whatever the teacher tells you to do, you must study hard, and get out of this ravine in the future! My dad put his hand on my shoulder and said with a serious face.

I couldn't resist my father, but I was full of malice towards the teacher who came from outside.

If he hadn't run to my house and persuaded my father to send me to school, I wouldn't have suffered this crime!

Zhaojiagou's school is just behind the ancestral hall, in the middle, which is also exquisite, so that the children of Zhaojiagou go to the school The distance is almost the same.

It's just that I've always felt a little awkward in my heart, and when I saw the dogs go to the academy before, I would laugh at them, but I didn't expect it to be my turn so soon.

I'm still a kid!

Zhaojiagou's school is not very big, with three rooms in the courtyard.

The white and pure teacher stood at the door, chatting with the old gentleman surnamed Li in the school.

Since this teacher came, the old gentleman's status has also risen, and he has been promoted to the principal of the school.

It sounds like the social status has been improved, after all, he is no longer the commander of the light pole.

When he saw my dad and me coming, the young teacher also had a smile on his face and walked up quickly.

"Brother Sanwu, you can be considered to have figured it out!"

"Figured it out, figured it out!" My father laughed and said, "Teacher Qin, I think what you said makes sense, no matter how hard you are, you can't be bitter for children, and no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education!" Only when children read can a family have hope! ”

In fact, Mr. Qin said these things when he went to our house before, and my father has a good memory, so he wrote them down.

"Alright, don't talk about this uselessness." The old gentleman on the side...... Oh no, it's Principal Li, who said with a dark face at this time, "Zhao Sanwu, don't pretend, our children from Zhaojiagou came to study in the school, when did they receive money?" At most, it's all about meat and vegetables. ”

My dad was laughing.

In Zhaojiagou, if you want to say that the person with the highest status, except for the old patriarch, it is this old gentleman, and since the opening of this school, it is indeed not charging any tuition.

But even so, there are not many children who can really come to the school, although they don't need money, but as parents, they are always embarrassed to send their children over empty-handed, right? New Year's festival vegetables and meat are also indispensable.

Otherwise, what does Principal Li live on?

In addition, if the child is at home, it is a labor force, and if it is sent to the school, it is one less labor force, and this account is also very easy to calculate.

Then, my father chatted with Principal Li for a few words, and then left in a hurry, after all, there were still a lot of things at home, and I looked at him with tears in my heart.

Especially when I heard the sound of reading behind me, my heart was even more tormented.

I wanted to escape, but I couldn't......

I looked up at the young teacher.

"Teacher Qin, thanks to you, if you don't go out often, these children don't have so many books and pens, which is a lot of money, right?" Principal Li asked.

"It's all small money, it's not in the way, I have money." Teacher Qin said with a smile.

"Hmm...... In fact, I can also see that your conversation, behavior, and appearance have a background, but this is all your business, if you don't say it, I won't ask, as long as you are really good to these children. ”

Teacher Qin nodded: "I will, I hope that each of them can get out of the mountains and become pillars." ”

Principal Li nodded, was silent for a long time, and then said, "Actually, I also know that the things I taught them have been saved...... You know a lot, and these children will be handed over to you in the future, and I hope you can stay here for a while longer. ”

"I will."

Principal Li turned around and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall, he was hunched over his waist and his hands were behind his back, which seemed to be much shorter than I remembered him.

For a while, my emotions were a little complicated, but I couldn't explain it clearly.

Suddenly, Mr. Qin's hands were on my shoulders, pressed gently, and whispered, "Mr. Li...... I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this year. ”

I was shocked and looked up at him suddenly.

His resolute face looked in the direction of the old gentleman, but he did not continue.

Later, I learned that the old man's health was actually not as good as before, but he couldn't rest assured that the children in the school were still in class, and he insisted on attending classes every day.

And now, when Teacher Qin is here, he seems to have unloaded all the burdens, and because of the collision of teaching concepts between Teacher Qin and him, the old gentleman feels that the three-character classics and the hundred family names and eight-strand texts he taught have lagged too far behind this era.

He lost his spirit.
