C82 Good News
Elder Lee and Dao Xiaotong left one after another. Qiu He also left. It was evening. Da Tea Village Primary School and the small bamboo tower that stood diagonally across from them would also be withdrawn by the sunlight. Gradually, it would become deserted due to the shadow of the light that was hidden in the shadows.
The children had all returned home after school.
Tao Hui Zhen was eating rice while holding her rice bowl. At the same time, she was staring at the television by herself. The television was an old black and white display. She bought it from the county town. She looked to the side and saw that Dao Xiaotong's short bamboo bed was empty. She looked out the window. Da Tea Village Primary School was in complete darkness. A few tall bamboos at the entrance of the village had changed. The sound of a car could be heard from afar.
Tao Huizhen took a bite of the Northeast dish she cooked. The sound of chewing came from beside her ear, and it was surprisingly clear.
Today was October 1st, 2010. It wasn't just National Day. Chang'e Satellite No. 2 was being launched by Chang Zheng No. 3's spacecraft, C, towards the Earth Moon transfer orbit. The television was broadcasting the satellite launch process.
Officer Wang's small jeep drove to the entrance of the village. He walked to the small bamboo building and brought Tao Huizhen good news.
He said, "The news that I brought you last time was not good news. This time, I plan to make it up to you. "
"How are you going to make up for it?" Tao Huizhen faced Da Tea Village Primary School. "In your eyes, Da Tea Village Primary School no longer exists. Your compulsory education has ended "
"No, how can compulsory education ever end? Education is endless, learning is endless" Officer Wang said resolutely.
"I don't want to hear you shouting slogans anymore, slogans without practical actions are meaningless. We are all used to spending time on actions. I've been thinking about the past. Elder Lee drove the cart. Officer Wang, push the bicycle station in front of the entrance of Tea Village Primary School. Saber Teacher worked diligently on the second-tier. Autumn Lotus is dancing Peacock Dance under the night sky. Everyone was very pragmatic and only did not say anything. Or talk less. Do more things. I don't dare to waste my precious time. "
Tao Huizhen bent down and poked the stove with a fire stick under the open-air stove. Smoke rose straight up from the chimney that was as tall as a person. When her movements were slow, Her tone was filled with the meaning of time. It was the calm after a long time. Her memories of life and her past, of course, also sent her off. In the eyes of Officer Wang, This Tao Huizhen was different from the young and shallow appearance that she had. On the contrary, she had deep power. After Elder Li's death, Dao Xiaotong and Qiu He left one after another. It was as if she had naturally planned out what they should do. Her footsteps suddenly became heavy and slow. She could more or less feel the shadows of those who had left.
Perhaps she was replacing them and extending the road as far as possible.
This resulted in her sometimes being like her, sometimes not like her.
"Last time, it was a matter of business. Teacher Tao, please forgive me. I also do not wish to take off that plaque. With the advancement of the times, wouldn't the smooth surface be left behind? If there are any problems, we will solve them. "
Officer Wang said," I keep thinking that it might not have been possible in the past, Teacher Tao. In the past, these people were all here. Firstly, everyone has to leave, the same goes for you. Secondly, if you don't abandon the past, you won't be able to welcome the present. Look, Da Tea Village and even the entire Dai Village are rapidly changing. All of us are beneficiaries. "
" It's not that I can't let go of the past. I'm also a witness to the changes in the big teacup. Whether it's Elder Lee, Saber Teacher, or Qiuhe. There are still so many people. It's not a problem for me to send them off. I just want to say that these people didn't rely on slogans to do things in the past. They just buried their heads and gritted their teeth to do it. "
" I said that I brought good news, not slogans. In order to help the poor, For compulsory education. Under special circumstances, the County Education Bureau decided. Free tea village students to study in the county town, and free school bus to pick them up. This was just decided by the County Department of Education. Let me help you with your work, and let the rest of the students study at the county center primary school as soon as possible. "
Tao Huizhen threw down the fire stick in her hand. She fell into deep thought. She thought about the reason why she rejected the task given to her by Officer Wang so strongly last time. That was half a year ago. When the road to Mengla County was just repaired, the County Department of Education canceled their support for Tea Village Primary School.
Tao Huizhen was worried that some families would not be able to accept sending their children to school because of economic issues. That was why she decided to continue the education of Tea Village Primary School.
"It's not expensive to go to school. The school bus can also be free?" These two problems were the two mountains in front of some families. Tao Huizhen asked.
Officer Wang nodded.
Tao Huizhen said, "Thank you, Officer Wang. What do you want me to do? I'll do my best to cooperate with you! This is good news. " The two came down free of charge. It could be said that they had completely resolved the problem Tao Huizhen had been worried about at that time. In front of these jobs, Officer Wang must have done a lot of homework. Between the teachers and students of Da Tea Village Primary School and the County Department of Education, From the beginning to the end, Officer Wang played a crucial role.
No one knew how he dealt with the situation. Tao Huizhen looked at the member of the King's Science Department, who had remained silent most of the time. It was hard to imagine how he was walking on thin ice or doing his work with a broad knife behind his stern face. The result he brought was always the same. There was no process. After thinking about it carefully, wasn't he also a pragmatic person?
"Teacher Tao, don't thank me. I have to thank you for finally being willing to hand over these children. They only listen to you. And they only believe your words. " Officer Wang let out a sigh of relief. His stern face changed slightly.
"How can you say that? What they believe is not you and me, but their own hearts. Maybe I happened to look at things from their perspective, that's why I was mistaken for what you said. " Actually, Tao Huizhen's words were not modest at all.
Officer Wang said, "Then you might have to face a new choice in the future. Do you want to leave here like Saber Master and the others, or do you want to continue teaching at County Central Primary School? "
"Can I not choose either? Hahaha. " Tao Huizhen laughed, her little face blushed. She sat on the bamboo chair, staring at the flagpole of Da Tea Village Primary School, murmuring, "I used to be a dancer"
"Yeah. You're really good at dancing "
"It's not too bad to be a branch teacher. I really can't bear to part with the kids. But in the blink of an eye, most of them started to study in the seventh grade. With my standards, if this continues, it will affect their future prospects. The environment here is incomparable to the school's environment. At that time, I was still worried. . . What kind of time would it be for the kids to peacefully transfer to a formal school? Will this day come or not? In my heart, I hope that it will come earlier, but also later. "
" The earlier it comes, the later it will come. Teacher Tao can just pass them to us without worry. To put it bluntly, in the past few years, we have to thank you for your efforts. Your work has been completed. "
" No, it hasn't been completed yet. Oh right, I'll do the thinking work with you from door to door tomorrow. I hope we can get through the connecting period earlier so that the children can get used to it in the county center primary school as soon as possible. "
Tao Huizhen said. Then, she began to think about what would happen next.
