On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the first day after the Lantern Festival, schools officially opened. Yu Dong did not stay at Jinling Art Institute, but went to Huangcao Village with Wang Xiaobo and Yu Hua.
As the new semester begins, Huangcao Village Primary School has a lot of things to deal with. If they hadn't had to celebrate the Lantern Festival at home yesterday, they would have set off yesterday.
When the tractor carrying Yu Dong and others was still more than a mile away from the school, Yu Hua suddenly pointed in the direction of the school, "Look, what is that?"
Wang Xiaobo and Yu Dong looked in the direction pointed by Yu Hua, and saw a large number of people standing at the school gate, holding up a red banner.
This banner is narrow and long, and the words on it are not big. It is difficult to see clearly what is written even from a distance.
After the car got a little closer, Wang Xiaobo read out the words above.
"Warmly welcome Teacher Yu Dong, Teacher Wang Xiaobo, and Teacher Yu Hua back to Huangcao Village Primary School after the New Year!"
The three of them were stunned for a moment.
What the hell is this?
Why did all three of them lose their vests at the end of the new year? And what kind of a big fight was this? It must have been Huang Guozhu’s idea.
"What's going on? How come they all know our names?" Yu Hua asked strangely.
Wang Xiaobo shook his head, "Who knows, there was no problem when we left last year. Something must have happened during this time."
Then both of them looked at Yu Dong.
"What do you two see me doing, and what does it have to do with me?" Yu Dong rolled his eyes.
"Because every time you are recognized, it's because of your face, and I guess it's probably the same this time," Wang Xiaobo said.
Yu Hua nodded and agreed, "Yes, I guess that's the case, and it happened to be the Deep Space Annual Conference some time ago. I heard that the provincial station and CCTV reported it. Isn't it normal for them to see you on TV?
?”
"Did you two not attend the annual meeting?" Yu Dong curled his lips and said.
"Participating means participating, but is that the same? We are just one of the many guests. The news on CCTV and the provincial station should not have pictures of us, but you are different. There must be pictures of your interview on the news, and
It definitely takes up a lot of space." Yu Hua said.
Yu Hua could guess this right away because they had experienced it many times before.
Although the book sales of this group of writers have increased a lot in recent years. For example, Yu Hua's book sales have reached tens of millions of copies, but he has not appeared on TV many times, and it is rare to see him on TV.
But Yu Dong is different. When they watch TV at home, they can often see news about Yu Dong. Even if there is no video, a photo of Yu Dong will be posted on the news.
Such high exposure also makes Yu Dong easily recognized by others.
Yu Dong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who it is anymore. The question now is that you have been recognized. What are you going to do next? Do you still want to teach here?"
Wang Xiaobo sighed, "We still want to teach here, but this is unrealistic. Soon the news about us teaching here will spread, and then a lot of random people will inevitably run here, which will definitely affect the school.
Normal teaching. And after knowing our identities, the mentality of both Huang Guozhu and the students will become different."
"Well, that's what I think too. Let's change the place and start over." At this point, Yu Hua felt that it was a pity. After teaching for one semester, they felt that they had gradually got the hang of it and developed relationships with the students.
I left as soon as I said it, but I was still a little reluctant to leave.
"It's okay. Even if I don't teach here anymore, I can come over and have a look when I have time." Yu Dong said.
As a few people chatted, the tractor arrived at the school gate. Because the gate was full of people, it couldn't go any further.
Yu Dongxian jumped off the tractor, and the adults and children at the school gate began to applaud.
"Welcome some teachers back to Huangcao Village."
Yu Dong pressed it down with his hand. When the applause stopped, he walked straight to Huang Guozhu and said with a smile, "Principal Huang, please disperse. There is no need to make such a big move."
Huang Guozhu held Yu Dong's hand excitedly, "Teacher Yu, it's so miserable for you to hide it from us. It's because I'm so blind that I can't see these three literary giants beside me."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "This just proves that those names are all false. Without the name, we are no different from other people."
"No, no." Huang Guozhu waved his hands repeatedly.
Yu Dong said again, "Principal Huang, it's better to withdraw. The school officially starts today, and there must be a lot of things to do. Everyone is gathered here, so don't delay your work. The students in our school are already poor at basics, so we should do more
Let them adapt to the new semester quickly, don’t you think?”
Hearing Yu Dong's emphasis again, Huang Guozhu hurriedly greeted, "Everyone listen to Teacher Yu and the others. Let's disperse. Students enter the school and prepare to start school. Everyone else should go home."
After hearing Huang Guozhu's words, the crowd dispersed immediately.
In fact, many villagers still don’t understand what is going on. In the morning, Huang Guozhu summoned them and said that a big leader was coming to the school today and asked them to welcome him, so they came.
But after they arrived, they discovered that these were the three new teachers in the school. When did they become big leaders?
Huang Guozhu also knew that if he told the villagers that Yu Dong was a great writer, they neither knew nor understood him, so he simply told them that the leader was coming to inspect the village and asked them to come and greet him. This trick was quite effective.
After the crowd dispersed, Yu Dong and the others sent the things they brought this time to the warehouse, and then assisted several other teachers in handling matters related to the start of school.
After a busy morning, Yu Dong pulled Huang Guozhu aside and said, "Principal Huang, we are here to say goodbye."
Huang Guozhu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Isn't it because we know your identity that we have to leave?"
Yu Dong waved his hand, "That's not the case. We have agreed before that we will only teach for one semester. Now that the semester is over, we have to go back. You also know now that our main job is not teaching, so we must still go back.
."
In order not to make Huang Guozhu too sad, Yu Dong lied to him and said it was not because of him, but in fact it was because of being recognized by them.
Huang Guozhu said with regret, "But the students can no longer do without you three teachers. Since you came, the students' enthusiasm for learning has increased a lot, and the atmosphere of the school is better than before. After you leave now
, I really can’t imagine how sad the students will be.”
He was trying to play the emotional card with Yu Dong, trying to use students to fetter Yu Dong and the others.
Of course Yu Dong understood Huang Guozhu's thoughts. He shook his head and said, "No one in this world can't live without anyone. Parting is also an important lesson in their lives. Besides, even though we are gone, aren't you still there?
Now the school's model has been completely changed, and the new model is gradually coming into operation. After we leave, the county education bureau will send three more teachers to fill the vacancies. At that time, you can continue to follow the previous model, and there will be no problems."
In fact, the focus of everything Yu Dong and the others did in Huangcao Village was not how to teach the children, but to change the overall atmosphere of the school and make the school from lifeless to vibrant.
Judging from the results, it is still effective, and students are obviously more motivated to learn than before.
In the past, children never thought about what their future would be like. They just stayed at school as monks and clock-ringing for a day, or when they no longer needed to ring the clock, they would go out to work with their parents, repeating the life of their parents.
Even if they are working part-time, they have never considered what kind of job they will do in the future. They are so confused.
But things are different now. Children have ideas, even if they are fantasies. It is normal for children of their age to have some fantasies about the future.
Some children want to become football superstars, badminton superstars... Although they are unable to realize their wishes in the end, at this age, they have imagined their future and worked hard for it, which must be good for their growth.
of.
Dreams can be adjusted, but you must have a dream first.
Yu Dong formed a football team at school. He never thought about letting these children become professional football players and save Chinese football. He hoped that sports could bring them something positive.
Huang Guozhu also knows that the current Huangcao Village Primary School is completely different from what it was half a year ago. Even if Yu Dong and the others leave, the school can continue to develop in a good direction. Of course, the premise is that there needs to be someone who strictly follows the instructions of Yu Dong and the others.
Keep moving forward with the pattern you established before.
After hearing what Yu Dong meant, the school will rely on him from now on.
"Teacher Yu, this burden is too heavy..."
Before Huang Guozhu could finish his complaint, Yu Dong said with a smile, "Principal Huang, you are a very capable person, but you always like to hide your clumsiness and are unwilling to use your abilities. It's because you feel like a gun
Is it because you have been hurt before? No matter what the reason is, I hope you can take on the responsibility of Huangcao Village Primary School. If this group of children can go out, there will be many people in Huangcao Village and even Wugang Town.
Big change.”
"You seem to be standing at the crossroads of destiny. There are two directions in front of you, one is left and the other is right. The left side says retreat, and the right side says advancement. If you choose the former, you can live the rest of your life peacefully and smoothly.
Retire and live a normal life with your pension every day. If you choose to move forward, it may be more difficult and tiring, but the fate of all the people in Huangcao Village is tied in your hands."
After hearing what Yu Dong said, Huang Guozhu became a little confused.
Even though Huang Guozhu is no longer young, the blood in his body is beginning to boil a little.
Seeing Huang Guozhu's reaction, Yu Dong continued to increase his efforts and said, "Principal Huang, you underestimate your own influence. In fact, the economy of many families in your village is much better than before. In addition, the government and Shenzhen
According to the company's policy, most students can afford to study, at least before high school. As long as these students are well trained, many of them will definitely be able to enter high school. In just a few years, your Huangcao Village will
College students are about to be born, and there may be more than one. For example, Li Hongchuang is very talented. Deep Space Company has decided to train him. He will definitely have no problem going to college. Just imagine, when students take the exam in the future
How will you feel when you go back to college and come back here?"
Presenting facts, reasoning, and painting the pie, Yu Dong's set of tricks directly caused Huang Guozhu, an old man in his fifties, to fall.
Yes, there were no conditions before and I couldn’t rush even if I wanted to. Now the conditions are so good, why not try hard?
As the saying goes, it will be full of energy, then it will fade, and it will be exhausted three times. Now is the time for him to take a breath and rush forward. As long as he raises his energy at this time, the school will operate very stably in the future.
"Okay, Teacher Yu, don't worry, I will never let you down." Huang Guozhu said with a firm expression.
Yu Dong smiled and nodded, "I believe you can do it."
There is no problem with Huang Guozhu's ability at all. All he needs is someone to create conditions for him.
As long as we create conditions for him and let him manage a school, there will be no problem.
At this time, Huang Guozhu asked again, "Since you are leaving, do you want to arrange a farewell ceremony for you? To formally say goodbye to the students?"
Yu Dong waved his hand, "No, we will come back when we have time in the future. Jinling is not far from here. It won't take us too long to get here. When the road is repaired in the future, the time will be even shorter. Also, you follow
The students said that for this year's final exam, I will have someone prepare a set of test papers for them. As long as they pass the exam, they will have the opportunity to go to the deep space park."
Huang Guozhu said with some embarrassment, "I don't know what is in this deep space park."
"Just tell the students that as long as they pass the exam, you will take them to travel to Jinling."
"The test paper won't be too difficult."
"It's just an average level. It won't embarrass them."
Yu Dong does not have high requirements for the students of Huangcao Village Primary School, as long as they can complete the test papers of normal level, because the students of Huangcao Village Primary School have relatively poor foundation, and it is meaningless to give them test papers that are too high level.
"Okay, I understand, I will tell them." Huang Guozhu nodded.
"Also." Yu Dong added, "If anyone can enter the top three in the grade, I will personally give them a gift. As for what the gift is, I will keep it secret for now. If you want to know, let them work hard to take the exam.
Ranked among the top three in the grade."
After hearing that Yu Dong said it should be kept secret, Huang Guozhu didn't ask any more questions. In fact, there was no need to tell the students what the gift was. He just had to tell the children that it was from Teacher Yu.
Although Yu Dong only stays at Huangcao Village Primary School for one or two days a week, he is very popular among students because he often organizes various activities and competitions. Many students have received gifts from Yu Dong.
Even though these gifts are only small things like notebooks and pens, the students still like them very much.
