Allure

Chapter 31

Boom... Boom... Boom... Boom...

A few crisp and long bells broke the quiet countryside, and also alarmed the old cow gnawing on the green grass in the field not far from the school, who raised his head and roared back with a long "moo".Surrounded by green mountains and green waters, Zhuoma Township Junior Middle School, crowds of student dolls poured out like sheep herding, cheering and rushing to the dusty playground.

After the third period, Shan Yong came out of the classroom with his seventh-grade Chinese textbook under his arm, and worked as a people's teacher in Zhuoma Township for two days.Luyuan itself is a teacher-training institution, and the first choice for graduates is to be a teacher. The role exchange from student to teacher did not make him feel honored, but a clear and different feeling.

what?toothache.

When you were a student, watching the teacher had a toothache, and when you were a temporary teacher, watching the students also had a toothache, but here it is not only the students that make you have a toothache, but the whole school is beyond your imagination.On the first day, I found that a wall on the south side was slanted, and it was about to collapse. When I asked, it was hit by a tractor in the village. No one cared about it, so it just slanted; there is also fitness equipment on the north side of the playground, which is a family in the city. Donated by the company, but one of the parallel bars was pulled out, the swing was cut, and the flat ladder was dug away. I asked the students where they went, and said that someone in the village dug them up and tied them to the animals. There are not enough desks, so if they are not enough, use bricks to prop up a wooden plank to make up, and ask the students what is going on?I dare say that it is not enough to borrow for weddings and ceremonies in the village, and the borrowing is getting less and less.It’s acceptable if the conditions are more difficult. Just now a new problem has been discovered in this class. Many students have pulled a lot from their books. When they ask, they can’t laugh or cry. The urge to beat.

"Hi, Director Shan..." Shan Yong looked at the dean who was ringing the bell, waved and ran up.

In fact, this Director Shan Changgen has to be called Uncle. I used to pass by Lvyuan to visit here occasionally. The principal of this school lives in the city and rarely comes here. Uncle Shan is in charge of the work. He is both the director and the teacher. 20th and [-]th grade history, also ringing bells and bells, has been in Zhuoma Township for more than [-] years, I don't know that Shan Changgen has always been the principal.

"What's up, Yong?" Uncle Shan asked, with gray hair and smooth wrinkles on his face, he looked slow, a very kind old man, with such an elder nephew coming to help, Director Shan raised his hands to welcome him.

"Uncle, I'm just wondering, how is learning taught here?" Shan Yong asked.

"How do you teach it? It's been 30 or [-] years, so why don't you just teach it like this?" Shan Changgen said.

The two walked towards the teaching office, and occasionally Shan Changgen yelled at the top of his voice, scaring the troublesome students from climbing the dangerous wall, but Shan Yong talked about his depression, three-track teaching, nine classes, regular school There are about 27 teachers, but the current staff is not even half.Either they take sick leave all the year round and don’t go to work with only their salary, or they come here occasionally for a job, and they still have business outside.With seven or eight teachers coordinating the class together, the English class must be called a cow.Forced, the entire private office transferred to the public office to teach English that they had never learned at all, and they were full of vernacular, and they were stunned to teach one who failed to pass at an age.

After talking for a long time, Uncle Shan seemed indifferent, and Shan Yong talked about the students' problems again. After two days of coming, he met two dropouts. Shan Yong was most worried about this matter, and said straight: "Uncle, this is compulsory education. After all, you have to finish junior high school, right?"

"You don't understand this. Earning money early is better than spending money. Teachers are not enough, who will do their duty? It doesn't matter if you just keep your eyes open." blocked back.

"What about those who are at school? We have to be more strict, right? This is only junior high school, six of them were absent from class yesterday, and eight of them were absent from class today... I am absent from class, at least I just started high school, how old is this, and it is more difficult than us city people?" Shan Yong said again, stopping to teach his uncle the way.

"In busy farming, you either go to the fields to weed or go to the mountains to herd cows and donkeys. More than half of them work outside, and there is not enough labor." Shan Changgen emphasized heavily, with a look in the eyes of city people who don't understand the country style, criticizing: "This is not enough. Well, you don’t have to go to class when the wheat is harvested, no one comes at all, you think that country children are like you, at the age of twelve or thirteen, they should be the laborers of the family.”

Pulling over his nephew, he entered the office as if nothing had happened.The office is on the side of the teaching building, adjacent to the open-air toilets of the students, and there is always a foul smell. The table in the room is broken and the leg stool is missing. The only good chair is Shan Changgen, and Shan Yong has to stand. Now, my uncle doesn't take all of my nephew's opinions seriously. Seeing that Shan Yong is still so persistent, he educates with earnestness:

"Anyway, you're just here for a few days, why? Are you still interested in changing the backwardness of rural education? You need to understand that this is an old district, where the old, the young, the poor, and the poor account for three of them, let alone the city, and There is no comparison to other wealthy towns that are more than ten kilometers away. It is not bad for the dolls to grow up in peace. Besides, don’t think that uncle doesn’t understand things in the city. Going out to work? The last time I saw your parents, they talked about it. Now, regardless of the shortage of teachers in the countryside, you just want to be a teacher, and you may not be able to be one. Why do you really do that? Right? Go, clean up the kitchen , it’s my job to do you.”

Shan Yong wanted to raise another opinion, but Uncle Dang saw off the guests, and was about to ring the bell for the fourth period with a hammer. Shan Yong had to leave the door of the teaching office angrily. Chasing, beating, rolling, and riding a weaker donkey more fiercely, and fighting after driving.There are even mixed and wild female dolls in the boys group, holding one leg in their arms, playing the game of "goat jacking" face to face. Wipe your nose and come again.

The bell rang, and the half-huddled bell must have been old for some time, and the sound was crisp and loud. As the bell rang, Shan Changgen, the acting principal, waved his hands and shouted like chasing a flock of chickens: "Stop playing!" , go back to class... Baldy, you still fight, your father beat you lightly."

It was a bald kid who grinned, made a grimace, and ran back to the classroom. That way reminded Shan Yong of Lei Dapeng's foolishness, and smiled. In this primitive ecological environment, apart from Poverty and backwardness are unacceptable, but other things are fine.

Those who should go to class have gone to class, and some have no teacher. Shan Changgen assigned homework, but Shan Yong went to the concierge and kitchen on the west side of the teaching building. As soon as he entered the door, he was shocked again. This is the kitchen. , the hut is similar, it is estimated that someone in the village temporarily tied up the animals, and there are still a few piles of dry cow dung and donkey dung on the ground.The hearth had collapsed long ago, and the flue had also leaked air. After a second look, he found three or four mouse holes. Shan Yong, who looked clean, curled his lips.

The tidying up has started, and the most unsightly thing is that the kitchen is like this.

Cleaning, even dumping two carts of garbage.It is easy to plaster the walls. There are lime ponds raised by the villagers in the village. They take half a truckload of plaster and get off the truck to pull half a truckload of sand.The most important thing is the base stove. Among all the stoves, Shan Yong's favorite is the old-fashioned wood-fired stove. This kind of stove has a big belly and a round chamber, and there are secret channels to emit smoke.Halfway through Zao Lei, I went to my uncle's house for lunch, and in the afternoon I had a class and continued the unfinished project.

This job has been busy for more than half a day, and when he saw the refurbished kitchen, Shan Yong had a slight smile on his face, somewhat feeling a sense of accomplishment.After the window was installed, and seeing the slanting dangerous wall, it was a little too hard to see, so I simply called the dolls who are coming out of school, and worked together to knock it down, and the dust filled a large area in an instant.

During this chaos, Shan Changgen couldn't sit still anymore, he rushed out and shouted: "Hey, what are you doing to cause damage?"

After the acting principal gave a lecture, a group of country dolls scattered in all directions.

"Uncle, this dangerous wall will fall down sooner or later, don't smash someone's doll that day, what do you have to pay for it, why not repair it earlier?" Shan Yong said, smoothing his sleeves, clearing away the old bricks.

"Then do it, anyway, you are an intern, and you don't need to pay you." Shan Changgen didn't care about it when he heard this, he walked back a few steps, and pushed his broken bicycle out to prepare to go home. At that time, Shan Yong said: "Yong, the town education committee called in the afternoon and said that there are still a few more interns, so you can spare a room on the third floor of the teaching building."

"Uncle, do you really treat me like a migrant worker?" Shan Yong asked dumbfounded.

"Not only to be a migrant worker, they have all come here, but also to be a master teacher. In my opinion, it is better for you to be a master master than to be a teacher." Uncle Shan sighed, pushed and sat on the car, and left, leaving Shan Yong behind. Dumbfounded behind him, while walking, Uncle Shan shouted: "Come back early, cook, your aunt's cooking is really not as good as yours."

Uncle really doesn’t treat us as outsiders, since the first day he came here to make a piece of sliced ​​noodles, the uncle’s family has trained the aunt, and the old ladies have been coaxing me all my life, look at the food you cook. The baby's Bibi is like pig food... Even my aunt is not angry about this, and she praises her nephew for doing a good job, as expected of a restaurant owner.

Seeing his uncle's thin, hunched body straddling the bicycle and disappearing on the village road, Shan Yong was depressed for a while, and then smiled inexplicably. This school, this student, and this teacher are everywhere making people laugh and cry. This uncle graduated from normal school here After working for more than 20 years, he has been completely integrated with this place, and when he goes out, you may regard him as a sheep herder or a donkey driver, but he is still a people's teacher if you don't believe it.

Some places can be richer than you can imagine.And here, the poverty is so poor that you can't imagine. Shan Yong looked at the mountains, terraced fields, ridges and villages located in the mountains in his sight, but felt that he was a bit busy. In an environment without contention, why look at it from the perspective of urbanites and try to change it?
No need to change, maybe just a little bit.

Shan Yong sat down, cleared the old bricks, probably cleared out a third of them, raised water, adjusted mud, mixed lime, and prepared to build two or three layers before dark, which would take two days It can be done, so that those wild boys who go to school tomorrow will not move away and throw them around.For this uncle Shan Yong, he actually respects him from the bottom of his heart. His level may not be great, but his character is definitely good. A few years ago, the family business lost money. Before he could open his mouth, this uncle took his salary and entered The city sent money, but among the relatives, this one who was not very close walked the closest and walked the most frequently.Sometimes favors are not necessarily something that can be repaid with money. When it comes to internships here, I want to help my uncle with some work.

The first and second floors were erected in unison. When the house was being repaired in the ring horse village, Shan Yong worked as a small laborer for three months, and he learned this job well.Halfway through the third floor, Shan Changgen came back on that broken bicycle, and shouted to Shan Yong from afar: "Yong, it's too late, stop what you're doing and clean up the room." Come out, people are coming."

"Who is it? The intern, the normal one, or the Luyuan?" Shan Yong asked.

"I don't know... Who do you care about? Clean it up quickly, or there is no place to arrange it. The director of the town education committee will come and deliver it in person. This year, the lamb has gone crazy, and he has to run to this ghost place. It has been many years, and he disappeared. Yes, I haven’t seen you.” Shan Changgen put his bicycle on his back, ignored it, and went back to the office to change into the solemn teacher’s uniform, which was similar to a Chinese tunic suit. When he went out, he carefully lifted his collar and pinned a A pen, this is the only clothing and attire that shows his identity here.

Shan Yong looked at the old-fashioned attitude of my uncle, feeling sad and ridiculous, teasing his uncle and said: "Uncle, they are all interns, isn't it fair for you to serve a bowl of water? Why have I always been doing the work?"

"Who made you my nephew? Besides, if you don't do it, why don't I do it?" The uncle gave an irrefutable reason.

Shan Yong smiled, and raced against time to finish the third floor, so that he could wash and tidy up the room. There are two normal schools in Luzhou City and one Luyuan School. There are many interns every year, but most of them are in remote mountainous areas like this. It would be nice if students from the normal school come with a few more companions.

When the last floor was built, the car came, Shan Yong stopped, and saw two cars approaching the school along the village road, one was a dilapidated Wuling bread, while the other made Shan Yong stare straight at him Yes, it’s a Buick business car, very familiar, as if I’ve seen it at school, Shan Changgen greeted him with a smile, and the middle-aged man in his 40s who got out of the Wuling car seemed to be the director of the education committee, holding hands and passing cigarettes , and the people who came out of the commercial vehicle made Shan Yong look straight.

The first one was Wang Hengbin, the head of the department, and the second one was Mr. Ren Qun, the class teacher... When they got out of the car, they looked at Shan Yong with complex and ridiculous eyes.

The surprise was still to come, and then came Si Muxian, followed by his ambiguous girlfriend Liu Cuiyun.Si Muxian smiled and waved to Shan Yong. What was even more surprising was that Wang Huating got out of the car next and handed out something. The person who handed the things was the squad leader Ding Yizhi. Like a brave man, he stood with Teacher Ren Qun.In the end, without mentioning Shan Yong, he knew who it was... Tianlei came, got out of the car, Lei Dapeng snickered at Shan Yong, pointed and talked to everyone, laughed and shouted He said: "Brother Dan, why are you here as a migrant worker?"

"Oh, you guys know each other. This is my nephew, and I called him to help with the internship." Shan Changgen Gu Kong said.

"I know, I know so well that I can't know each other anymore, quack..." Lei Dapeng said with a joking smile. Hearing the greetings from the head of the department, the head teacher and the head of the education committee was meaningless, he went straight into the school yard, looking around, Looking west, he walked up to Shan Yong, watching with great interest, Shan Yong bent down, he also bent over, Shan Yong turned around, he also turned his head, it was stickier than rubber candy, just wash your hands, Shan Yong said deliberately : "Erlei, I can't hide from you even if I want to be quiet... Let me tell you in advance, this place is full of food and play, and you don't want to have fun."

"Cut, is my level of thought that low? I'm ready to dedicate myself to education in old districts. This year, the department has stationed interns in several old districts in Wuxiang, Pingshun, Qinxian, and Taiyue. This is called Red Support Education. I am honored to be one of them." Lei Dapeng boasted.

There is no need to think about it, Shan Yong knew that this guy was targeting Wang Huating, so he smiled and did not expose it.Simuxian and Liu Cuiyun came up, calling Shan Yong, and there was a bit of sympathy and admiration in their eyes, it seemed that Brother Dan could not help but sigh when he fell into this kind of situation.The squad leader, Ding Yizhi, was standing with the department heads and talking about something. Wang Huating wanted to come up several times, but was too embarrassed to come up. It was Lei Dapeng who shouted, and she paced into the crowd, watching Shan Yong was covered in plaster and a solid wall, but he didn't know how to say these words.

"Secretary, are you... not arranged by the department to supervise me?" Shan Yong burst out.

Wang Huating was slightly taken aback, the supervision was not enough, but she strongly recommended Zhuoma Township, she didn't explain it, but someone explained it for her, Lei Dapeng said solemnly: "Hey, it's still the supervision, you love it Don't poke your son, don't go to the bottom of the village, the school can't explain it. Let's supervise your labor reform together."

"Hey, Erlei, and fellow students, I'm here to help my uncle. I'll leave tonight. You can do whatever you want." Shan Yong said intentionally, washed his handles, turned his head and picked up the broom Walk.

At this moment, everyone looked at each other in dismay, very embarrassed, Wang Huating was about to explain, but looked at Shan Yong's cold expression and said indifferently, in desperation, she gouged out Lei Dapeng's eyes, Lei Dapeng was already in a hurry, and chased after him Shan Yong's footsteps stopped with a smile on his face: "Don't, brother Dan, the brothers are here for you... If you are not here, who will come? I was planning to go to Wuxiang, but I asked my godmother to know You have always been here, so you changed here temporarily. It was because the secretary of the league branch strongly recommended it to the department head to get in touch. It took a lot of effort... You said that once you left, we would all be blind, and pointing Follow you for two days? Otherwise, why are we here in this poor place?"

When the truth came out, Shan Yong turned his head and looked at Wang Huating in surprise. Wang Huating didn't say much, but there was a somewhat relieved smile on his face, which might let him know better. Shan Yong didn't understand the meaning in that gaze. Deeply, he stuffed the broom into Lei Dapeng's hand and urged: "Then why are you standing there, go to work."

"What are you doing? Let me work right after getting out of the car?" Lei Dapeng was displeased.

"Come here, clean up the room, you have to do it yourself, or you have to live in the wild at night." Shan Yong called, and several people went to the school office with brooms, dustpans, and mops, and went straight to the third floor of the teaching building. It is said that it was donated by a wealthy businessman during Pujiu Education. The third floor is empty, but this building is lit by donkey dung, and the room that has been unoccupied for a long time is opened. , Oh, cobwebs are in pieces, dust is all over the face, tables and chairs with broken legs and missing faces are piled up in a mess in the room, and the few people who got out of the car were dumbfounded at the beginning, no one expected the conditions to be so difficult.

This time it was time for Lei Dapeng to be stunned. He was tongue-tied, his eyes protruded and his tongue stuck out, and he yelled, "Damn it, you don't need to travel through time, you just go back to the old society. Can people live in this place? It's more like shutting down animals."

"Didn't you always pretend that you are an animal? This time it's worthy of your name... Hua Ting, Cuiyun, you two live in the next room, the small room, I've already packed it up, I'll move the things out later, you rest Use it." Shan Yong took care of the two girls, turned around and was not polite to Lei Dapeng and Si Muxian, and pointed out: "You two, including monitor Ding Yizhi, live in this room with me, clean it up yourself, don't be lazy Those who live, those who disobey the leader, be careful, I will drive him to be with the livestock."

Even if he is not in school, Brother Dan still has some deterrent and appealing power. Even Lei Dapeng dare not disobey him, so he carried his broom and swept the wall one after another, the two girls snickered. Then, he also came up to help, and the squad leader downstairs brought a bucket of water and joined the ranks.

They started working as soon as they got out of the car, regardless of their organization and discipline, or their overall quality. The person from the Education Committee and Shan Changgen were a little surprised, and Shan Changgen said in surprise: "Yo!? Not bad, get off the car and go to work, much better than before."

"Yeah, it seems that the quality of the students trained by Luyuan is high. Now even the elementary school students are selective and unwilling to come to this place... Director Wang, Teacher Ren, I have to thank you. This year, as long as the town has reserves As for the index, I will first choose the one from Luyuan." The director of the education committee also said happily.

As for the difficulty, knowing themselves, Director Wang Hengbin and Teacher Ren Qun laughed, but they didn't say a word about the situation.

Halfway through packing up, the teachers and students accompanied the education committee and the township officials to have dinner. Director Wang Hengbin and teacher Ren Qun went back to Luzhou. When they left, they pulled Shan Yong aside and told them not to mess with him again. One piece, we must take care of everyone.Every year during the internship period, the head of the department and the class teacher will go back and forth to inspect the designated internship sites. The earnestness and earnestness are more than the four years of getting along with each other.

The two girls lived in a ready-made apartment, and the four boys didn't go to bed until eleven or twelve o'clock. Unexpectedly, on the first day, Wang Huating, the party secretary who was responsible for taking care of others, made a fool of himself. Wang Huating screamed and ran out of the room, thinking that he had run into a bastard in the village who jumped over the wall. Shan Yong and Lei Dapeng copied the guy and came out to save the hero, protecting Wang Huating who was still in shock and dared not go back in the corridor, and asked It took a while to realize that there was no hooligan, but a mouse got into the bed.

The two brothers laughed, and Lei Dapeng asked with a joking smile, "Brother Dan, the mice in this place can still play hooligans."Shan Yong said, no, hooligans really know how to find a place to get under the bed of the branch secretary.The two brothers made Wang Huating blush with shame, and then found that Shan Yong and Lei Dapeng, who were more hateful than mice, looked at her thin and curvy body, so angry that she slammed the door and threw a sentence angrily :
"Mice are not as rascals as you."

The collective internship life started in this ridiculous atmosphere. The tranquility will definitely be broken, but Shan Yong doesn't mind at all. The brothers are here, and the fun will be more fun. At least one night will be the branch secretary This topic has been discussed by the three of them for a long time...
