On the morning of the first day of school, Bao Minggang carried two benches on his shoulders and his two sons to rush to school.

The road was very bustling with classmates and parents, all of whom went to Huanting School to sign up for school.

Yang Xuejin, who was in the same village, led his child Yang Caigen to walk behind Bao Minggang, and when he saw the father and son of the Bao family, he quickly caught up.

Yang Xuejin was very strange that Bao Minggang went to school with a bench on his shoulder, so he asked him curiously: "Minggang, are you going to report to school?" ”

Bao Minggang smiled and said, "Yes, Xuejin, what else can I do today." ”

Yang Xuejin said: "Then what do you do on the back bench at school?" ”

Bao Minggang said in a weird manner: "My two children can't pay the tuition fees when they go to school, so I will use these two benches to pay for the tuition." ”

Yang Xuejin didn't believe his words, and ridiculed him: "You are really talented, too economically minded, you really know how to think of ideas, I knew that the school could be flexible like this, and I also took the bench to pay for books and miscellaneous expenses." ”

Yang Caigen asked Bao Zhoutong curiously: "Zhou Tong, did your father really take the bench to pay for your tuition?" ”

Bao Zhoutong smiled and said: "My dad can't afford the tuition fee, so he will take the bench to go to school, and I can't help it!" ”

Yang Caigen and his son surpassed the Bao family and his son and walked fast.

His father could not understand this, so they stopped talking about it and went their own way. Xuejin also looked back at Mingyang and his son from time to time, and couldn't help but smile when he saw that they were getting farther and farther away from them.

The inside and outside of Huanting Middle School are boiling like a busy city, and the crowds coming in and out are endless.

Bao Minggang put down the bench in the corridor of the junior high school and said to Bao Zhoutong: "You watch it here first, and I'll go to sign up for your brother first." Zhou Tong had no choice but to sit on a bench, looking at his father's back, he silently thought in his heart: My father is partial, why do I have to owe it, why can't Bao Zhouhe owe it on credit!

His father had been gone for a long time and hadn't appeared, and Bao Zhoutong was a little restless. Bao Zhoutong knows that the payment procedure is very simple, as long as each student hands over the money to the head teacher, the head teacher will tick the book on the roster and complete it. My father didn't come out for a long time, and he was either waiting in line for other classmates to pay their tuition before it was my father's turn.

Bao Zhoutong didn't dare to go to his brother's classroom to see. Huanting Middle School is divided into two areas, one is in the old ancestral hall stage of Huanting Village, and the primary school where my younger brother is studying is in this area. This area is larger than the current junior high school, but they are all old brick and concrete floor structure houses, the houses are all two-story, and there are about 50 or 60 classrooms including teachers' dormitories. Most of them are used as classrooms, and a small part is used as teachers' dormitories, canteens, offices, and conference rooms; The Great Hall is the old ancestral hall of Huanting Village, majestic and tall, magnificent, and eighteen wooden pillars that can only be embraced by two people support the entire ancestral hall. The school's cafeteria is also within the ancestral hall building, and the essence is on the stage. The whole stage is carved beams and painted buildings, the stage surface is two meters square milky white marble paving, there are four wooden pillars surrounded by one person, the vault is circular, the painting pattern on the dome, birds and beasts, lifelike; The two corners that extend to the two pillars in front of the stage are said to be made of sandalwood through a complex woodworking process, with fine carving and tenon inlays, and the structure is tight and varied. The sharp corner of one of the pillars of the stage alone is enough to breathe the breath of today.

We cannot but admire the richness of the imagination of our ancestors and the mastery of their architectural craftsmanship. Each piece of the ancestors' works is meticulously crafted, excellence, they left us descendants with precious treasures at the same time, but also educate future generations, what is professionalism? What is Cultural Heritage? What is the mission and responsibility that our descendants must keep in mind.

For the architectural treasures left by these ancestors, the teachers of Huanting Middle School often use it as an essay topic for their students to practice writing, and there are also good seedlings to write good essays that make the school teachers' eyes shine.

Bao Zhoutong also wrote about the school's ancient stage, but he almost couldn't put pen to paper, and the composition was a mess, and he began to hate it later. Every composition class is a torment and a big blow to him.

When his father finally appeared in front of him, most of the students and parents at the school had paid their fees and left. The hallways were empty, and many of the teachers were ready to go to the cafeteria to eat. Bao Minggang led Bao Zhoutong into the classroom of class B of the first year of junior high school.

Teacher Chen Limin, who was wearing myopic glasses, was sitting on a stool in front of the podium table and writing something. Bao Minggang went in to greet Teacher Chen, and there were several male and female students talking in the three or four rows of seats at the back of the classroom. Teacher Chen raised his head, straightened his glasses and said to Bao Mingyang and his son with a smile: "I'm wondering, why didn't Bao come to school to report today." He asked Bao Zhoutong to step forward, pointed to a pile of books and homework books on the table and said, you take the books back first, and you will officially go to school tomorrow, you can remember not to be late. He said to Bao Minggang again: "Parent Bao, what do you mean by this, I have already handled Zhou Tong's matter for you, you better carry it back." The classmates sitting in the back were also looking at Bao Zhoutong's father, who was putting down the stool, with wide eyes, and didn't know what was going on, so they pricked up their ears and listened carefully to what Teacher Chen was saying.

Bao Minggang approached Teacher Chen and said, "Teacher Chen, I'm really sorry, I want to discuss something with you?" ”

Teacher Chen asked the other students to go home first, and the students tiptoed out of the classroom, but seemed to want to hear what they had to say, but after they came out of the classroom, they crouched down and hid under the window to eavesdrop.

Bao Minggang said to Teacher Chen: "Teacher Chen, I shouldn't have caused you trouble, but Zhou Tong still refused to come to school because he still didn't borrow his son's tuition, thinking that this matter was not honorable." ”

Teacher Chen smiled and said, "I visited your home a few days ago, and I already know some about your family. Parents, it's not easy for you, you have four children crowded into school at once, and you have to spend a lot of money on tuition at the beginning of each semester. Now, they are all working with the production team, and they have no economic resources, how can they afford such a large amount of investment? Don't worry, you just need to make up the tuition fees of Zhou Tong's younger brothers, and I will pay the tuition fees of Zhou Tong's classmates first, and you will pay me back when you have it, and if you don't, you will continue to owe it. Not only this semester, as long as you are willing to let your child finish junior high school, if your child is angry, if he can be admitted to high school, he can come to me if he has difficulties. ”

"Teacher Chen, you are really a rare good teacher, my son can meet a good teacher like you, I will definitely let him study hard and live up to your expectations of him."

Teacher Chen Limin closed the roster and said, "It's not early, I'm ready to eat, you can bring the stool back, there are many children in the family, they all need it." ”

Bao Minggang shook his head and said: "Teacher Chen, this thing has no value, Zhou Tong damaged the school's things, and it should be compensated, so I will stay and use it to make up for the school's losses." ”

"That's okay, let's use it to offset Zhou Tong's tuition first, parents, I'll accept it, and you have the right to pay for your child's tuition for this semester."

"This, how can this be regarded as a discount for tuition, no, no, no, one thing is the same, then the tuition still has to be repaid."

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the conference room of Huanting Middle School was brightly lit and full, which was the first all-school teacher meeting of Huanting Middle School this semester, also known as the teachers' meeting. After all, from tomorrow, the school will officially start classes. This semester, all the teachers transferred from other schools need to get acquainted with each other in advance in order to better integrate into the school's teaching system. The meeting was presided over by President Yang Zeping, and Director Xie Ruiyun was responsible for the specific division of labor of the whole school.

Last semester, Huanting Middle School transferred six teachers, two retired and one on sick leave. This time, 10 teachers were transferred, but one was on personal leave, and at present, the number of nine teachers who have arrived at the school is exactly the same as last semester. However, the majors are not completely matched, and some positions must be readjusted to avoid missing or duplicating positions. These issues had to be addressed through evening meetings. Tomorrow, all the teachers will have to work according to the division of labor in the evening.

After this meeting, the teaching positions of most teachers have not changed, and more than 30 positions of old teachers have been adjusted, which is the largest adjustment in recent years.

The meeting decided that 20 teachers, including Yang Zeping, Yang Qingtong, Xie Ruiyun, Xie Haifu, Xu Guangshan, Xu Pingyang, Xu Xuguang, Feng Mingda, Xi Fayou, Wang Jifen, Bao Lifei, Sun Yang, Wang Qing, Dong Fuxian, Zhang Xiuyu, Li Lichao, Li Xianwen, Xu Wenbin, Qian Bo, and Huang Haichao, will not be adjusted. Other teachers are either fine-tuned, or fully tuned. The new teachers, such as Chen Limin, Wang Zuobin, Xu Laifa, Yang Kai, Gong Jie, Zhang Lili, Fan Yunkai, Xu Xiazhou, and Xu Guanglei, are mainly taught by their own specialties, and the secondary courses are arranged by the school's academic affairs office. In principle, teachers who need to substitute for teaching on a temporary basis should follow the work arrangements of the school leaders, and the bonus is directly linked to the quality of teaching. If you have good grades, you will get more bonuses, and if you have unsatisfactory results, you will receive fewer bonuses or even no bonuses. If the teacher takes temporary leave, he or she must propose part of his allowance to reward the substitute teacher; Teachers who are unable to work after a medium or long-term absence from school are paid only a basic salary, no bonuses and other subsidies, and all these subsidies are transferred to substitute teachers.
