under the spotlight

Chapter 97
Lu Beicen looked at Lin Fei. She still didn't have much to say. She just ate quietly, and occasionally looked at Teacher Du peacefully as she talked about her past experience in the Northwest. She would smile when she heard something interesting.

Teacher Du talked about a place in Mogao Grottoes for more than ten, twenty, ten minutes, and Yin Honghai's appetite was whetted: "Mr. Du, how far is the county we are going to from Mogao Grottoes? "

"Do you want to go? It's not very far away. The main thing is to see how Mr. Lin arranges it. If the filming goes well, if we can finish the work there on Friday, we can go to see it on the weekend, and then see where to go back to Zhongjiang. "

To Lu Beicen's surprise, Lin Fei took the wheel sent by Teacher Du without hesitation: "The time should be about the same, it will depend on the situation then, I checked the weather forecast yesterday, there is a typhoon coming, we will also Affected, maybe the planes will be grounded at that time, just in time, let's get down to business and benefit privately for a while."

"If you don't get tired, Mr. Du, why don't you just arrange it, let's arrange it three or four days after the weekend. You can also check the weather later, and we will rely on you."

Teacher Du laughed and said, "Look at our teacher Lin, it's very grand, that's fine, I'll come and see at night, by the way, Xiao Fang, how do you arrange it?"

Fang Nan was naturally longing for this special experience, so he nodded immediately: "I'll be with you all the way, Teacher Du, just treat me as your non-staff staff right now."

"Yes, we can't wait for this non-staff to treat guests to dinner with their own expenses."

The next day, I finally interviewed Yu Lan's friend Ming Wei in Kyoto.This girl has a kind of bright atmosphere that lives up to her name. One can tell at a glance that her tutor and job are good, and her dress and speech are very decent.

"Yu Lan and I have known each other for four or five years. At that time, I was a junior and she was a sophomore. We both signed up to support teaching during the summer vacation. We were assigned to the same place. To be honest, because of the comparison of my living conditions since childhood Well, I am not used to the teaching life, but she takes care of me everywhere, without her, I feel like I would have stomach problems without starving to death."

"We kept in touch after that. After graduating from university, she chose to be a long-term support teacher. I thought I couldn't do it, and I was not as pure as her heart."

"She has a kind of tenacity, that is, the kind of strength that seems to be impossible to be defeated no matter what, I especially admire. The day she was diagnosed with leukemia, I cried so much that she comforted me in turn."

"I have long decided to go abroad for a short-term study. I knew she was sick, and I didn't want to go. She advised me that the opportunity is rare, and I can't treat her illness here, so I left. If I knew at that time She thought she didn't want to receive treatment anymore, and she wouldn't leave even if I was killed. When I came back, I was almost insane from fright."

"At that time, I only knew that she broke up with her boyfriend. She didn't want to talk about the specific situation, and I didn't want to ask too much. Later, when I saw her boyfriend, I could see that he cared about her very much. In order to find her, It really took a lot of effort, and I feel very touched.”

"I also have more than enough heart but not enough energy. I don't work long hours. I'm still in the stage of continuous learning. I don't have much savings. I can't help Lan. I really hope that caring people can lend a hand. She is caring and has a sense of social responsibility. People who are very valuable.”

The next day, a group of people flew together with Qin Tian to an airport in the northwest that was closest to Yu Lan's former teaching site. Lu Beihao and Jiang Zhongze really rented a Coaster by phone and waited at the airport.

Seeing that everyone got into the car comfortably, Lin Fei joked with Lu Beicen: "Xiao Lu, we are all thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't have been treated so well and saved a lot of time. "

Lu Beicen was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Lin, you are being polite. They always rent a car when they come out to play. The big car is comfortable to sit in."

Qin Tian immediately understood that this car was rented by a private person, so he was a little embarrassed: "This trip is really troublesome to you, not to mention paying for the money and effort, and privately paying for the rental car. If we take the bus, we will take a detour Not to mention, I have to change the car again."

Lu Beicen shook his head: "You are welcome, Yu Lan's medical treatment costs a lot of money, and we are only doing our part."

A Haohe is not much younger than Qin Tian, ​​and they have gotten to know Qin Tian quite well along the way, so they pulled Qin Tian over the seat from behind and said, "Brother Tian, ​​when you were supporting teachers, did you live in the school or in the homes of nearby villagers?" ?”

"It depends on the situation. In some places, the school conditions are better, and there are vacant dormitories, so you can live in dormitories. In some places, the conditions are poor, and the school is only one building, so you need to rent a house outside. In some places, you can't rent a house. They can only borrow and live in unused houses of local villagers.”

"What about eating? Do you have to cook it yourself?"

"It also depends on the situation. Some schools may have a canteen because they have student accommodation. This is the happiest thing. You can eat in the canteen. Most of the places have to be done by yourself. Anyway, teaching support is actually very training people."

"Then do you get paid?"

"Short-term teaching support is the same as social practice activities. There is no salary, but after graduation, long-term teaching support still has a certain amount of income, but it is not much. It may be able to maintain life."

"Are there many children who drop out of school?"

"Many, especially girls, are a little bit better now. In the past, not to mention the nine-year compulsory education, they were often not allowed to come to school because they knew Braille, especially in the poor areas of old and young. There are also many children in the family. The older ones are still To take care of the children, or to do a lot of work at home."

"One of the things that Yu Lan used to do was to visit the students' homes. I was afraid that one day there would be fewer students in the class. The place where we supported the teaching seemed to be separated by a ditch. In fact, it was really a dead horse. , walking back and forth is covered in dirt.”

"I heard that the place where you teach is very short of water. You walked for more than two hours just to see a willow tree?"

"Well, this day is fine, and you can still see some sparse green. After autumn, it will be full of loess and decaying grass. Fortunately, there are many sunny days in this place, otherwise it looks desolate, but it is also because of the many sunny days. That’s why there’s always a water shortage.”

"Is it true that you take three baths in your life?"

"That happened a long time ago, and it's not so exaggerated now, but the water shortage is really lacking, and the water is not good to drink. It can't compare with our south. We'd better buy some mineral water later. Put it in the car, so that you won’t be used to drinking the local water when you can.”

Fang Nan laughed and said, "I heard from my dad that when he graduated from college, he was assigned here by accident, because he heard that he could only take three baths in his life, and he was so frightened. The unit wanted him, so he went back to Zhongjiang."
