C41 Serenity (1/2)

When I heard this, I felt deep veneration for him. He was actually a teacher at this mountain village school.

My interest was piqued. Under the principal's invitation, I sat on a wooden stool at the side. ”Teacher Wang, how many students are there in our Stone House Elementary School?”

”Ah?” Then? How many teachers are there? ”

”Just me. I'm a teacher in charge of these five grades. I'll take all their classes.” The Teacher Wang said indifferently.

”Then how many years have you been here?”

”I am the only high school student in this village. I have graduated from high school and worked as a private teacher in the village. It has been 16 years since then.”

I continued to be shaken. ”You? ”You actually worked as a private teacher for so long, what kind of power was that that supported you to work for so long?”

I thought he was going to say something big.

Teacher Wang was silent for a moment, then he added a few branches into the stove: ”In order to become a public teacher one day, I will eat the national treasury's food. My salary will also be higher, and my child's future development will have a chance …”

”Then do you know when you can transfer?”

”I don't know. Let's just wait. We've already waited for 16 years. The country will eventually solve the problem of a private teacher …” Teacher Wang's cloudy eyes shone with hope.

I was so shocked that I decided to stay and continue the interview.

I arranged for the car and the press officer to go back and pick me up later in the week.

I stayed in the western wing of the Village Head's house and started my new interview.

There were no signals in the mountain, so naturally, the BB Machine was unable to receive Liu Yue's calls. I could only place my thoughts of Liu Yue on the coldness and serenity of the night.

For the next week, I stayed with the Teacher Wang every day, the school children, listened to their lessons, and chatted with the Teacher Wang.

13: Shiliva, divided into five different grades, in the same classroom. Teacher Wang usually started from the first grade and progressed in sequence. Finally, it was the fifth grade.

The so-called grade was a class, a class, and also a student.

Every morning, he would raise the flag, lead everyone to sing the national anthem, and then start the lessons. In the middle, he would also take the children to do morning exercises, and after school, he would arrange for the children to stand in a line and leave the school.

It could be seen that the children were all very respectful to the Teacher Wang. Upon entering the school, they all saluted when they saw him, and said, ”Good evening, Teacher Wang!”

”The mountains are poor and the mountains are deep. I can't get out. If I don't go to school, I won't be able to open my eyes and walk out of the mountains …” Teacher Wang said to me.

From the Village Chief's mouth, I knew that after finishing high school, Teacher Wang could have found a job in the city. But seeing that there was no one teaching the kids in the mountain, and no one taking care of them, I took the initiative to become a private teacher in the village.

The treated the children very well. She doted on the children very much and had very high teaching quality as well. Shi Hu Elementary School always had a raise rate of 100% in middle school every year, and the students that were taught in Teacher Wang had all gotten into secondary school after graduating from middle school. There was also a student who got admitted into Jianghai University after graduating from high school the year before, so she was the first university student to leave the village after being liberated.

I also understood that Teacher Wang's wife couldn't stand Teacher Wang's poverty as a private teacher and the barren land in the mountains. He left her child there 3 years ago and quietly went down the mountain. From then on, Teacher Wang became both a father and mother, bringing his daughter to live and eat in school.

The deeper the interview went, the more moved I became.

”It's hard for you to take care of your children by yourself!” Sitting on the big rock in front of the school, Teacher Wang and I looked at the distant mountains.

”I'm used to it …” As a private teacher, my income is low and I have no status. My child's mother suffered a lot after me. I don't blame her for leaving … ”She might come back in the future, when I become a public servant …” The Teacher Wang looked at the endless sky in a trance, filled with beautiful dreams and expectations for the future.

”Have you ever thought about taking your child down the mountain?” I looked at the white hair at the sides of Teacher Wang's temples and thought, ”Sixteen years ago, that place must have been pitch-black.”

”I have. But, if I leave, what will happen to the children here? ”All the villagers are your own children. You can't leave them behind. As a person, you have to be considerate …”

Looking at the Teacher Wang, I suddenly felt the urge to cry. A high school graduate of 16 years ago, who was in high spirits and in high spirits, yet gave his most precious youth to this mountain, to this mountain's education, how grand was that!

When the interview was over, before I left, I shoved my remaining 180 yuan into Teacher Wang's hands. ”For this little bit of money, buy books and teaching aids for the children …”

Teacher Wang insisted on not accepting it, and the two of them started to talk about it, only when Teacher Wang saw that my eyes were starting to turn red did he reluctantly accept the money.

Before we descended the mountain, Teacher Wang led the students of the school to send me off in an orderly line.

”Thank you, Uncle Jiang. Goodbye!”

I couldn't bear to look back. I waved my hand sideways and turned to leave.

At this moment, I especially wanted to tell Liu Yue about my feelings and feelings.

Returning to Jianghai, with a stomach full of excitement and impulses, I wrote a personage newsletter, ”Bound in the Mountain”, in which I expressed the Teacher Wang's moving deeds and unadorned dedication to the world at the end of the day.
