Chapter 253: What is Your Ideal
Yu Shuang stood on the podium and enthusiastically introduced herself to them.
"Hello everyone, your and my surname is Yu Shuang, you can call me Teacher Yu, from today onwards I will lead you to learn and play life together, what do you don't understand, just come and ask me, as long as I know, what I can do will definitely help you."
The students under the podium burst into warm applause, but there was a child in the corner, which was particularly abrupt.
He was motionless, and although his waist was straight, his face was impatient.
In a group of simple children, he looks special.
Yu Shuang couldn't help but pay more attention to him, but was quickly distracted by a group of students' questions.
"Teacher, are you from a big city? Are big cities really as bustling as they say they are? Even the lights are not turned off at night. ”
"Teacher, are you rich? They said that you and a male teacher are very rich, so can you buy a lot of books, buy a lot of steamed buns, and live a very happy life without worrying about food and clothing. ”
"Teacher, how old are you? You look so young, do you have children? ”
One question after another followed, drowning out the frost.
Yu Shuang raised her hand to signal them to be quiet, and then asked softly, "I have these irrelevant questions, why don't I ask you too." ”
Yu Shuang put her hands behind her back and walked slowly on the podium.
"I've all known about it before I came here. This is deep in the mountains, and you are children raised by the mountains, but I still want to know what your wishes are. ”
As soon as these words came out, the classroom was very quiet.
“… Or what are your ideals, your plans for the future? Have you ever wondered what you're going to do in the future? ”
At this time, a child raised his hand tremblingly and said, "When I grow up, I want to go to my parents, and I want to ask them why they left me here and don't care about me." ”
Yu Shuang's expression changed, and a touch of distress flashed in her eyes.
One student spoke, and another student followed suit, "I also want to go to my parents, and I also want to ask why they gave birth to me, since they don't like me and don't raise me, they just want a boy, so why did they give birth to me again?" ”
Their eyes were resolute and lonely. Yu Shuang knows that in a place like this, most ideas are traditional and patriarchal.
Some people leave their children in the countryside and give them to the elderly to raise because they gave birth to girls?
There are also those who simply give birth and don't ask. The reason why they are here is not only to bring fresh ideas, but more importantly to change their thinking.
"We'll talk about that later, but do any students tell their teachers what they want to do in the future besides finding their parents?"
"Teacher, I want to work in the city."
A child plucked up the courage to shout loudly, Yu Shuang couldn't cry or laugh, what kind of ideal is this? But the child replied firmly.
"This is my ideal, my parents are working outside, they will bring a lot of money back every year, so I also have to work, I also want to make money, I want to renovate all the old houses in the family, I want my grandmother to give me a life of food and drink."
Maybe this child still can't understand the difference between entrepreneurship and part-time work, Yu Shuang raised his hand again to signal everyone to be quiet, and then wrote the word ideal on the blackboard, and deliberately added a symbol below.
"Students, ideals are not what you say, each of us can, of course, you can work if you have ideals, but I hope that in addition to these ideals, you can give yourself a higher goal, only by working towards a higher goal, you can get out of the mountains and see the outside world.
If you set your goals low and achieve them easily, what will you live on in the future? What will sustain you out of the mountains?
So I hope you can think about it and tell me what your ideals are, okay? ”
Yu Shuang's words seemed to give them a bigger goal in mind.
Yu Shuang gave them a few more minutes, and slowly some of their classmates began to raise their hands.
At first, some people said that they wanted to be a doctor or a teacher, and some people said that they wanted to be an architect and a farm owner, but in short, the dream was much better than before, and it was not just easy to find a part-time job for your family to make money.
Yu Shuang observed that after everyone had spoken, only the student in the corner was silent and silent.
So she deliberately nodded at the student and asked, "What about you?" Everyone just talked about their dreams, but what are your dreams? The classmate who was suddenly named was obviously a little unhappy and turned his head to the side, as if he didn't want to say anything.
Some classmates complained, Mr. Li Zongxin is asking you a question, why don't you answer yes? ”
"Li Zongxin, you used to be like this, those teachers were all angry with you."
The classmates began to complain to this classmate, you and me, as if a lot of mistakes were pushed onto this student.
In the end, in the midst of the reproaches of the crowd, Li Zongxin stood up angrily at a row of tables, even if he stood tall, it seemed to be as tall as He Shengge.
He glared at Yu Shuang unhappily, and then strode out of the classroom, "Hey, classmate Yu Shuang was stunned? I thought to myself, I didn't say anything, why did I still make the students angry and run away?
A student in the science department stood up and said, "Teacher, you don't have to worry about him, he's like this, he hates class the most." ”
"That's right, teacher, we don't care about him, let's continue the class, okay?"
Yu Shuang's eyes looked outside. In the mountains of Rhino Township, Li Zhongxing should be more familiar with the road than himself, and this is the school. There are guards and teachers, and they shouldn't get lost.
Yu Shuang didn't care too much, and continued to teach the children, and the next morning, Yu Shuang talked a lot with them.
I also learned about each of them.
Sure enough, as she thought, most of the children have not studied for a few years, especially some girls, and there are signs of patriarchy in the family, and one of them impresses Yu Shuang.
Her parents were working in other places, and she had a younger brother, but her parents brought him to live in the city, leaving her in this remote village.
Every Chinese New Year, my brother would always come home in new clothes, but she didn't even have a new pair of shoes, she wore open-toed sandals all year round, and even in winter, she didn't have a pair of thick coats.
But when she said this, her face was calm, as if she had long been accustomed to it.
At noon, the leaders of the volunteer teachers always gathered together at the time of everyone's meal
