CHAPTER XXXIII
Mei Sanniang saw that Teacher Liu was a little surprised in her eyes, with a strange look, and then Teacher Liu spoke.
"Do you know Tao Yuanming?"
When it comes to Tao Yuanming, I can always think of Tao Yuanming's poems, picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, and leisurely seeing Nanshan.
I haven't experienced this kind of life before, but now I can't experience it completely, there is no impetuousness and chaos in the mountains, there is no vanity and scheming, and there are leisurely feelings deeply rooted in the earth and flowing water.
It's a place of poverty, never losing its clarity and purity.
People in the world often yearn for the secluded life of the Peach Blossom Spring, Tao Yuanming does not bend his waist for five buckets of rice, and some people forget their former selves for the sake of fame and fortune.
Mei Sanniang asked lazily knowingly, raising her eyebrows to meet Teacher Liu.
"Teacher Liu, why do you think I don't know?"
Mei Sanniang's words sounded jokingly rhetorical and sarcastic, and Teacher Liu was stunned for a moment, and only said embarrassedly after three seconds: "I'm really sorry, I thought you didn't know." ”
"In fact, this leisurely sight of Nanshan means that he inadvertently looked up and saw Nanshan, this sentence is mainly reflected in the two words leisurely, which reflects that he is not deliberate and pretentious."
Mei Sanniang heard that there was something in this, so she smiled, "Well, that's good." ”
"By the way, Teacher Liu, my child's foundation is not good, I know that being a teacher, it is impossible to take care of the whole class, but we Xue'er are not easy to bully, I am worried that she will be excluded by other children in the class alone."
As soon as Mei Sanniang's voice fell, Teacher Liu assured her.
"No, Cherry."
"The children in our class are very obedient, this kind of thing will not happen, you can rest assured."
Mei Sanniang nodded, and she reminded again: "My reputation in the village is not good, and I am afraid that I will hurt the child because of this kind of thing." ”
Of course, parents care about their children, and these teachers understand that "don't worry, I have a younger brother, who is usually submissive and always has a harmless expression, at first I was worried that he would not be able to integrate into the class, but later I learned that he got along very well with the children, you can rest assured." ”
"Who is your brother?"
Mei Sanniang just asked, when the class bell rang, Teacher Liu hurriedly said: "I'm sorry Xue'er Niang, it's class, I still have to go to the teacher, if you are busy, go back first, it's still early to get out of class." ”
Mei Sanniang was not in a hurry to leave, just so she could listen to this Teacher Liu's class, so she said respectfully: "You are busy first." ”
Mr. Liu first went back to the office, holding a book in his hand, about a finger thick, the book cover had long disappeared, and the side was slightly yellowed, not a dirty thing, but because of the age and long-term use.
Teacher Liu smiled at Mei Sanniang when she came out, and when Teacher Liu walked to the door of the classroom, her expression immediately changed, and she put away her previous smile, and the teacher walked into the classroom seriously. ”
Teacher Liu greeted Mei Xue softly: "Come, Mei Xue." ”
"Come on stage and introduce yourself, so that the students can get to know each other."
Before Mei Xue could stand up and introduce herself, a child in the class coaxed: "Mei Xue is a madman, can a madman go to school?" ”
Mei Sanniang's face was instantly ugly when she heard this, this big fart child actually said that her Xue'er was crazy, so uneducated, if it had been changed before, she would have stepped forward to beat this little kid on her body.
Thankfully, she held back.
At this time, Teacher Liu asked rhetorically: "Classmate Zhao Yuer, how can you say that Mei Xue is crazy?" We can't just give people nicknames. ”
"When we give someone a nickname, have we ever thought about what the person thinks? Zhao Yuer, if the teacher calls you Zhao Fool, do you like it? ”
Zhao Yu'er was a little unconvinced: "Teacher, adults call her like this, she is crazy." ”
"Is it true that what the adults say is false?"
Teacher Liu instantly understood, and she told everyone: "Adults also make mistakes, even if it is a book in the teacher's hand, there will be mistakes." ”
"Before we distinguish between right and wrong, we should think about whether this is true or false, all the knowledge learned is not dead, and what is written in the book may not be all right, because people always make mistakes, and if the author of the book blinks his eyes, misses or has something more, resulting in an error in the text, do you naturally think it is right?"
"In the same way, it is the same for choosing a name for someone else, without considering the feelings of the person being named, you listen to the wind as the wind, and listen to the rain as the rain."
"Zhao Yu'er, do you understand?"
Zhao Yu'er buried her head and said perfunctorily: "Hmm." ”
Immediately afterwards, Teacher Liu still asked Mei Xue to come to the podium.
"Mei Xue, you can introduce yourself to me."
Mei Xue stood on the podium for the first time, her hands and feet were a little disobedient, she looked nervously at the classmates in the audience, and her voice became trembling.
"I... Called..."
Before she could say her name, the classroom burst into laughter.
"She's flawed!"
Someone yelled loudly.
At this time, there was a steady stream of laughter.
The teacher finally stopped: "The children are quiet. ”
"You will only make Mei Xue more nervous, the teacher was also very nervous when he introduced himself for the first time, and you were also shy when you saw the teacher for the first time."
"So why are you laughing at Mei Xue?"
At this time, the classmates didn't dare to laugh, and Teacher Liu said to Xue'er: "Mei Xue, you continue to introduce." ”
Mei Xue was still very nervous, she looked at the classmates below with some sadness, and then she saw a figure outside the window, she took a closer look and saw her mother.
The mother made a gesture, Mei Xue took a deep breath, and plucked up the courage to say her name.
"Hello everyone, my name is Mei Xue, and my mother said that I was born in winter, so I was destined to bring snow, so I got this name."
Liu Tao was the first to clap his hands after hearing this, and then Mr. Liu also clapped his hands.
The teachers clapped their hands, and the students followed suit.
"Mei Xue's introduction is very good."
"Time is limited, you see that it has been delayed for so long, so I won't introduce them one by one, Mei Xue, you go back to your seat first."
The children's seats are just a few bricks, because there are not such good conditions, so everyone will use bricks as seats.
"Today we are going to learn a poem, this poem happened to be proposed by a classmate's parents, and the teacher thinks it is necessary for everyone to learn this poem."
Teacher Liu picked up the little chalk and wrote on the blackboard: "Tao Yuanming." ”
"What we're going to learn today is his poetry."
Mei Sanniang looked at Teacher Liu, who was speaking very passionately in the room, and she nodded with satisfaction.
The children's passion for learning made her sigh even more.
Seeing this scene, Mei Sanniang was finally relieved to let Xue'er study in school with peace of mind.
Teachers teach not only knowledge, but also the truth of life.
She turned around and walked towards the house after leaving the school, and it was another two hours of walking, because this time she was not in a hurry to go home, so she was delayed on the road for a while, she liked to study plants, and when she was attracted by the leaves on the side of the path, she was instantly intrigued.
It is wild angelica.
Angelica grows with other wild grasses, which are not easy to find, but fortunately, Mei Sanniang's eyes are sharp and she sees it, so she digs the soil carefully.
She squatted on the side of the road, picked up a very small branch and dug up the soil around Angelica little by little, she was reluctant to dig up Angelica, so she was especially careful to dig out the whole root.
Where there is angelica, there must still grow, and some fruit seeds flutter in the wind and fall to the roots, and there must be an angelica.
If you want to go to school in the town, don't look at the only a few dozen people, that's where all the children in the surrounding villages go to school.
Not all of them can still have the opportunity to go to school, there are more children like Xue'er who should go to school, but there are so many dozens of students in the classroom, and they are all sitting on bricks, their eyes seem to be glowing with golden light, and they are very cooperative with the teacher's lecture.
Some children are born without knowing what school is and what it looks like.
Because they need to help the family when they can walk, and some may go home after a few days of studying, many parents think that what is the use of learning some knowledge, and they do not need to pick up manure and firewood.
Now the main thing is to have enough food, everything else is secondary, even if they don't study, they don't go out of the village, they don't think too much about it at all.
So it leads to a very real problem, there are a lot of children, but very few go to school.
Mei Sanniang cleaned up and went home after digging angelica.
As soon as she got home, she looked at the empty house and then at the baby who couldn't walk, and she couldn't help crying.
She had never been a mother, she didn't imagine why she was in this place, she wanted to go home.
Mei Sanniang thought that since it was the same world, even if time was rewinded, then she should be able to return to the city before she crossed over.
Now there is a most real problem, she has no money.
If she wants to get out of the mountains, she needs more money and transportation, and if she only relies on these legs, she is not sure if she can walk the right way and find her destination for the rest of her life.
It would be nice to have a mobile phone, but unfortunately she couldn't find any other way to communicate in the mountains except carrier pigeons.
Even the most basic means of transportation is a pair of legs, and she can't do anything.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help sobbing, and she cried because of her perception, Mei Sanniang was irritable herself, and she yelled at the child: "What are you crying about!" Day by day, I know to cry, cry, cry! You can only sleep but eat! Sick of it! ”
Mei Sanniang scolded and looked at the baby, she still wanted to scold, but she knew that these words were angry words for herself.
Such a small child couldn't understand what she was yelling at, Mei Sanniang just felt much better when she yelled, at least she wasn't aggrieved.
After yelling, Mei Sanniang finally stopped, she slowly walked to the iron pot, she rolled up her sleeves and began to brush the pot and wash the dishes, there was still a lot of work waiting for her to do at home.
