Chapter 1 Going to the Countryside to Be a Principal

On a bumpy gravel mountain road, a walking tractor is braving the scorching sun overhead like a snail, and the tractor is driven by a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard. 【 】The tractor's trailer is full of blue bricks. A young man with a fair face is wearing a dark blue shirt and a white sun hat, with a cigarette in his mouth, drooping his head, sitting listlessly on the blue bricks. above.

The tractor kept turning left and right on the mountain road, which only made the bumpy face of the sweaty young man inside the trailer even paler.Finally he couldn't bear to ask the tractor master loudly again: "Master Hu, how long will it take us to reach your Fenghua Village?" Fenghua Village! Why, is it a little uncomfortable? This is really hard for you, a college student came to our village, this is the first time that Pangu opened the world!"

Xiao Lang shook his head and smiled wryly after listening.His name is Lang Mo, and he has just graduated from a well-known normal university in a certain province in the south of the Yangtze River.After he graduated, he originally wanted to find a better job in a big city, but since he is a top student in the school, he should take a good lead and actively support the education cause in remote mountainous areas.The school leader then asked the city’s Education Bureau to recommend him an honorable task, to be the principal of a school. When he just got the news, he was very happy at first. It was such a great honor to be able to be the principal just after graduation.He fully agreed to the leader's recommendation.But when he learned that the place he was going to was a remote mountain village, and he was the principal of a primary school, he felt a little dumbfounded.Where does this follow?I am dignified that a graduate of an undergraduate university went to teach elementary school students?God!hell!But he didn't have time to regret it, after all, he had to give the school leaders some face.It's not a bad thing to decide to go to the school in the village for a while, to increase your life capital by the way, and then to sneak away.

He set off from the provincial capital by long-distance bus at six o'clock in the morning, first arrived at County C, then took a minibus transfer, and arrived at Wumi Township, the superior unit of Fenghua Village, at around [-] noon. Nearly [-] kilometers away, usually only a small truck goes between the village and the township in the morning, and that truck has already left before Lang Mo arrived. If you want to go to the village, you can only wait until tomorrow.Lang Mo had no choice but to run into a tractor pulling bricks on the way to the guest house in the village.So he took a ride with the wind and came here with a swing.

Although Fenghua Village is remote, it is located in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Although there are many mountain roads along the way, the scenery is charming. It is August, and the roadside trees are lush, wild flowers are full of mountains, and the fresh air is mixed with a faint fragrance of flowers, which makes him depressed. slightly better.After more than an hour of turbulence, the tractor struggled to climb the last extremely steep mountain road, and Lang Mo finally saw the place he was going to: Fenghua Village.Looking around, Fenghua Village is loomingly hidden in the green mountains and green waters.There are continuous green hills in the east and north of the village, especially the big mountain in the east, which is emerald green and towering into the clouds, which is fascinating.To the south is a small plain.On the plain, the boundless rice waves stretch southward like golden carpets under the blue sky, which is too beautiful to behold.Lang Mo secretly said: "It's okay, Fenghua Village?"The name is good, the scenery is also good, just take it as a place to relax!Anyway, I will leave for a year or so at most, and I will leave for any reason. 'Thinking of this, he seemed less bored.

After several consecutive sharp turns, the tractor finally went down the hill.Came to Ping Road.On the side of the road, the rice waves swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound.After the breeze, the thick rice fragrance is even more soothing.If you look carefully, you can see a few villagers busy harvesting rice in the rice waves under the scorching sun.

Ten minutes later, the tractor swayed across the open golden field like a beetle.The tractor came to the entrance of the village.In front of the village entrance, a small river meanders through the village, and the water is crystal clear.On the river, there is an arched stone bridge ten meters long and two meters wide. When the tractor drove slowly across the arch bridge, Lang Mo looked up and saw a small archway beside the bridge, with the words "peak Hanamura'Three big characters in Song style with strong strokes.Beside the archway, there is a big banyan tree that needs at least ten strong men to embrace, like a giant umbrella, covering the sky and the sun.And in this giant umbrella, the cicadas full of trees are shouting "hot, hot".When he quickly entered the village, he found that there were only a few beautiful small buildings made of cement concrete in the village, and most of the others were old houses, which were very similar to the buildings in the late Qing Dynasty.Quaint and mysterious.However, it is precisely under the reflection of the green mountains and blue sky, small bridges and flowing water, and blue bricks and black tiles, it constitutes a picture of a beautiful countryside that is peaceful and comfortable, and the unity of man and nature.

The village street in Fenghua Village is wide and clean.The dark blue square stones are paved on the road, giving people a feeling of nostalgia for the past, and the tractor can drive into the village smoothly.When Lang Mo arrived, it was time for the villagers to have lunch.But most of the people he saw were old people and children. Where did the young people go?Don't they need to eat?Lang Mo was a little puzzled.Villagers eat differently than people in the city who sit at the dining table in a regular manner. They like to sit on the threshold of their own house, or squat at the door with a bowl of rice while eating and chatting with their neighbors.When the tractor drove into the village, the enthusiastic Master Hu shouted to everyone along the way: "Brothers and sisters, please welcome the college student from our village. He is coming to our village to be the principal!" As soon as he shouted, almost the whole village could hear it.

As a result, all the old and young in the village were attracted by Master Hu's voice, and the commentary voice kept thinking: "What a handsome baby!" ''The skin is so white and tender, why does it look like a girl', 'He is quite tall', 'He is a college student, look at how elegant he is! ''It's just that I'm a little thinner, I need to strengthen my nutrition, and my eyes are a little smaller, but they are very bright', 'This baby, it would be great if I could be my son-in-law! '.......A bunch of messy comments made him feel uncomfortable all over.After finally going through this long and difficult road, the hospitable Master Hu finally sent him directly to the school gate.

The school is not big, built on a gentle hillside, where there are towering pine trees everywhere.There are three rows of houses in the school, all of which are of brick and tile structure.It still looks new.Two rows of houses are at right angles, which are classrooms.There are three classrooms in each row.In the center of the classroom is a small loess playground.The row of houses at the back of the classroom is more than half shorter, probably the teachers' dormitory.There are four rooms in total.Next to the school, about 100 meters down the hill, there is a well.Several villagers are drawing water from the well.Next to the well is a country road heading south.I don't know where it leads.Behind the school, that is, facing east, is the forest-covered mountain that Lang Mo saw before he entered the village.

Affected by the strong noise of the tractor, the door of one of the rooms in the last row of houses suddenly opened, and an old man with eyes, gray hair, and thin, with a pen stuck in his breast pocket came out.As soon as he saw Lang Mo, he said, "Is it Teacher Lang Mo?" Lang Mo quickly replied, "Yes, you are Principal Li?" How can it be compared to you, a college student, we look forward to the stars, to the moon, and finally a college student comes, and when you come, it’s time for me to abdicate.” Principal Li, formerly known as Li Jin, is a private teacher in Fenghua Village. It takes 40 years to do it.He should have retired a long time ago, but unfortunately there are a total of three teachers in this school, and they are still private teachers.He backed off, what about the kids?In the past few years, several technical secondary school students who graduated from regular teacher colleges came, but they were like a revolving lantern, running away after a few months.Now another one came after finally another one, and it was a college student. The old headmaster secretly prayed in his heart: Bodhisattva bless, I hope this young man can stay a little longer.

The old headmaster enthusiastically led Lang Mo into his room.Lang Mo's luggage is very simple, a large suitcase and a guitar.The room was very simple, with only a dilapidated desk, on which were placed some daily necessities such as water bottles, ink, tea mugs, exercise books, books and the like.There is also a coffee table next to it, and a [-]-inch old-fashioned TV is placed on the coffee table.Beside the tea table, there is an old rattan chair.Plus a big wooden bed with mats and floral pillows.that is it.

After Lang Mo finished looking at the room, the village head took him to look at the newly built classrooms with brick and tile structure.Lang Mo glanced at it casually. Although there was no decoration in the classroom, it was still a primitive floor of yellow mud.But it is spacious and bright, and many of the desks and chairs inside are new.He felt that the school was a little better than he imagined.The old principal briefly introduced the situation of the school: there are about 160 students, each in a class from grades one to five.After Lang Mo came, the old headmaster needed to rest because of his illness.So there are still three teachers in the school including Lang Mo.One is called Wangdu, a young man from this village, and the other is older, named Chen Da, who is from Momo Village in the south.Because it will be a few days before school starts.They haven't come yet.After the old principal finished introducing everything, he held Lang Mo's hand tightly and said, "Xiao Lang! Although the conditions here are a bit poor, these things are all we can prepare for you. Please don't be surprised. But my son We need high-level teachers. It will be up to you in the future! I am very optimistic about you!" After hearing these words, Lang Mo didn't know what was going on in his heart.

Holding Lang Mo's hand, the old headmaster insisted on going to the only restaurant in the village to have a meal, saying that it was for Lang Mo to clean up the dust. Lang Mo had no choice but to follow him to the village.On the way, Lang Mo asked curiously: "Principal, how can there be a restaurant in this remote Fenghua Village?" The old principal smiled and said, "You don't know. A river?" "I see" "This river is called the Yunu River. Although it is small, it is downstream of it, about two kilometers away from the village. Workers. More than half of them are foreigners. Many times, because the food is not good, they will come to our place to eat if they want to get dizzy. When villagers go to the market or do some small business, they have to pass through our village. When they are tired from walking, they will also eat and rest here. In addition, our village is also a big village with more than 2000 people. We also have a place to relax and drink That's why there is such a small restaurant." "I see!" Lang Mo nodded frequently.The entire building of Fenghua Village is in a long row, with the entrance of the village facing west and the end of the village facing east.The school in Fenghua Village is at the end of the village, and this restaurant is in the middle of the village.Lang Mo and the old principal walked for a while along the village street before arriving at the entrance of the restaurant.The restaurant is a two-story semi-new green brick building.Looking up, a wooden plaque hangs high above the wall of the gate, with the words 'Xiaoyun Restaurant' written on it.Walking inside, I saw that the restaurant was not big, but it was very clean and tidy. There were ten bronze-colored square tables on the ground paved with bluestone.Right behind the restaurant, there is an old-fashioned dark brown counter.

Next to the counter is a wooden staircase leading to the second floor.At the top of the stairs, it is covered with a green checkered square cloth.Can't see the situation above.There may be fewer customers at noon, and there is nothing to eat in the restaurant.The old headmaster picked a table near the counter, told Lang Mo to sit down, and then shouted: "Ma'am, there are guests!" From the second floor, a crisp and sweet voice came down: "Who is it! Come! "As soon as the voice fell, the sound of the wooden ladder thumping sounded.

Not a moment later, a slender woman about 27 or [-] years old, wearing a green flower-dotted shirt and jeans, came to Lang Mo and the old principal with a faint fragrance.Lang Mo looked up, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he saw that although the woman in front of him was tall, she was very round, with very good lines.A pair of watery eyes are always smiling.The rosy oval face, although without makeup, looks plump and smooth.Compared with those deliberately dressed women in the city, I don't know how many times stronger.A cascade of beautiful hair was casually erected behind her head.Even more charming.As soon as the woman saw Li Jin, she smiled and said, "It turns out to be Principal Li. You are a busy person and rarely come to my place. Why, do you have time to come to my restaurant for tea today?" Li Jin smiled and said, "Madam, I I am very happy today, let me introduce you, this is Lang Mo, the new principal of our village school." Lang Mo hurriedly got up and said, "Miss Boss, I am new here, please take care of me in the future!" The woman asked curiously: "Principal Wolf? "The old principal quickly explained: his 'Lang' is the Lang of Lang Lang, not the wolf of the big bad wolf. Only then did the woman understand, so she said with a smile: "You're welcome, you scholars are gentle, and your names are strange.My name is Alan, you can call me Alan from now on! "" How embarrassing. "There is nothing to be embarrassed about, you are a guest when you come!"Don't be too restrictive. Facing Alan's smiling eyes, Lang Mo suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.

"Principal Li, what dish do you want to eat today?" Alan asked.The old principal: "I seldom come, so you can figure it out!" Alan: "That's it, okay, I'll give you an idea today." After finishing speaking, he shouted to a room next to the restaurant: " Master Dai, there are guests!" The room opened in response, and a middle-aged fat man with a big beard came out of it with sleepy eyes.As soon as he saw Li Jin, he immediately said: "Old principal, rare visitor, rare visitor! Since you are here, I have to show you my skills!" Li Jin hurriedly stood up to greet him, and then, the big fat man He walked into the kitchen behind the restaurant and went busy.

After Master Dai went in, Alan also hurried into the kitchen, as if to help.Lang Mo and the two chatted while drinking tea.Lang Mo: "It's time for dinner. The business here doesn't seem to be very good. Why?" The old principal: "You don't know the city people. This season is the harvest season, and it's the busiest time for the country people. Those who do small business have gone back to do farm work, so naturally there is no business here, no, even Xiaocui, the helper hired by Alan, has asked for leave to go home, she has to help herself, so we have something to eat." "Oh, I see."

Without much effort, Alan brought up the dish, a dish of braised fish.A plate of fried bacon with green bamboo shoots and a plate of Chinese cabbage.Plus a tomato egg soup.Lang Mo hadn't eaten anything since the morning, and he couldn't bear the smell after asking about it, so he wanted to move his chopsticks.Alan said at this time: "Would you like a pot of wine, rice wine brewed by ourselves." When Lang Mo heard about the wine, he became more excited and ordered a pot. The pot was very big, not much smaller than the teapot we boiled water in. .Alan brought two big bowls and filled them up. After smelling them, Lang Mo raised his thumb and said, "Sweet!" After speaking, he clinked glasses with the old headmaster, and then drank it down with his head up!After drinking, he smacked his lips and said, "It's really good wine!" After finishing speaking, before Alan could make a move, he picked up the big wine jug and poured another bowl.

Seeing this, the old headmaster said in surprise: "Well, young man, you look gentle, but you can drink surprisingly. Don't be greedy! Although this rice wine is delicious, it has a lot of stamina!" Lang Mo smiled and said: "It's not a problem, just I can’t put this little wine in my stomach.” After speaking, he thought to himself: “I think back then, when I was in school, two catties of high-strength baijiu was fine to put in my stomach, so what is this little rice wine? 'After a few bowls of rice wine, the big flagon was more than half empty in no time.Lang Mo's expression didn't change, and his heart didn't beat.After drinking several bowls of wine, he seemed to be in a much better mood.The old headmaster saw this.I can't laugh or cry, why is there an alcoholic principal?Seeing this, Alan smiled and said nothing.After all, she had seen a lot of super drunks.

Unexpectedly, even Alan's eyes widened in the next moment. Lang Mo quickly drank a pot, and then asked for another pot, just like boiling water, bowl after bowl. The old principal was so surprised that he even said: "Wu Song is reincarnated!"Wu Song is reincarnated! 'He drank two jugs of wine until he couldn't put it down in his stomach, so he didn't stop.In fact, Lang Mo knew very well that it would be rude to drink like this for the first time to eat with someone, but for some reason, he just wanted to drink, whether he was depressed, or whether the wine was really delicious, he couldn't tell.

This meal lasted for two hours.When paying the bill, the old headmaster was busy paying the bill, but Lang Mo stopped him, refusing to let him pay.At this moment, Alan said: "Don't argue, you two! This meal is mine. Anyway, there is a college student in the village. It's not easy!" Lang Mo hurriedly refused, but Alan said: "Why? , college student, I just treated you to a light meal. Do you look down on us country folks? "In a word, I pushed Lang Mo back. I had to give up.

After dinner, the two bid farewell to Alan.As soon as he left the door, Lang Mo suddenly felt dizzy, shook his head vigorously and thought to himself: "Wow, this wine is really good!" Seeing this, the old principal quickly asked: "Xiao Lang, are you okay!" He raised his chest and said, "Do you think I look like someone who has something to do?" He didn't want to make a fool of himself.After finishing speaking, he walked towards the school with the old headmaster with somewhat flamboyant steps.Finally came to the school and entered his room.He hurriedly said to the old principal: "Principal, I have nothing to do, you can go back and do your work!" Seeing that he was speaking soberly, the old principal thought he was really fine, confessed a few words, and left the school.

After the old headmaster left, he couldn't control it any longer, and felt the pain in his stomach was overwhelming. He rushed out of the room, vomited outside, and vomited until the sky was dark. In the end, he almost vomited bile.Holding on to the door frame, before he had time to pack his luggage, he fell down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep like a dead person.

This sleep lasted until eight o'clock in the evening. When he opened his eyes, he felt that his head was about to explode.I was so weak that I didn't even seem to have the energy to get up. "Damn! I never thought that I, who has never been drunk, would be in such a mess today!" He scolded.After resting on the bed for a while, he got up and was going to find some water to drink.Just about to stand up, I feel dizzy. With a bang, he sat back on the bed again.At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly.Hearing this, he thought to himself: "Could it be the old principal, what should I do? If he sees me like this, he will definitely laugh to death. No, I have to pretend to be asleep!" After thinking about it, he lay down again.Unexpectedly, the knock on the door was loud and insistent, and it became more and more urgent, so I had no choice but to shake it to open the door.

When he opened the door, Lang Mo was taken aback. What appeared in front of him was not the old principal, but the pretty Alan!Seeing Lang Mo's embarrassed appearance, Alan smiled and said, "How about it, let's show off!" After finishing speaking, he carried a big jar and went straight into the room regardless of whether he agreed or not.
