Chapter 1653 The First Lesson
1653
While everyone was packing up and moving in, Xu Taiping walked around the school twice by himself.
This school is very small. Apart from this building and a playground, there is nothing around. There are mountains everywhere, and they are very barren mountains with few trees.
Xu Taiping went upstairs and wandered around for a while. There was a toilet on the second floor. The toilet was very dirty, with a lot of excrement in it and no water.
It must be quite a challenge to get those girls to use the toilet here.
There was originally a toilet on the first floor, but before everyone arrived, it had been converted into a bathroom for people to take a bath.
The bathroom is quite big. If you are not afraid of taking a shower with others, several people can take a shower together.
Xu Taiping wandered to the third floor. On the third floor there was the principal's office, an academic affairs office, and then the principal's room.
The principal's room was very large. When Xu Taiping looked in from the window, he could see TV sets and other things. There was also a satellite TV installed outside the principal's room.
After Xu Taiping walked back and forth a few times, it was already noon.
Xu Taiping returned to the first floor and found the kitchen.
There is really everything in the kitchen, including rice, pickled pickles, and some pumpkins and winter melons, but there is no meat.
"Taiping, what's for lunch?" Chu Tian walked into the kitchen and asked.
"Rice? I just saw bacon outside the principal's room. It's no surprise that the bacon is fried. How about frying some pickles and adding winter melon soup?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Are you coming?" Chu Tian asked.
"Why don't you come?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Let me light the fire for you." Chu Tian said, sitting in front of the stove.
"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded and said, "Let everyone come over. Those who can help, please help. Those who can't help, don't be idle. Learn. This time, when you come out, you must not only teach others, but also yourself." Learn something.”
"yes!"
Not long after, many people came to the kitchen.
Everyone rushed to help.
With Xu Taiping, a master of wilderness survival, it was not difficult to cook something. It didn't take long for the meals to be ready.
The very simple meals are not unpalatable to these people who come from Jiangyuan City, and they even seem extra sweet because of the added flavor of the countryside.
After dinner, Lin Shenghu also came back with his cattle.
Lin Shenghu tied the cow outside the kitchen and then walked into the kitchen.
"Oh, have you eaten it?" Lin Shenghu said with a smile.
"Let's eat together, Principal Lin. Do you mind if I take your bacon?" Xu Taiping said.
"No, no." Lin Shenghu smiled and shook his head, and then said, "I ate two steamed buns on the way back, and I'm not hungry now. By the way, are you ready for the classes you have to attend at noon?"
"Ready!" Lin Shuying on the side nodded.
"What course are you taking?" Lin Shenghu asked.
"Just look at the pictures and write the essay. Everyone can understand this!" Lin Shuying said.
"Okay, I'll listen together during class in the afternoon. When you leave, I will have experience." Lin Shenghu said with a smile.
"Principal Lin, what classes do you usually take?" Chu Tian asked.
"I take all the courses, including mathematics, Chinese, nature, labor, ideological and moral character. As long as I can teach them, I will take them. As you can see, our place is very poor, few people are willing to come, and the school cannot afford to pay. I can only do it by myself, hey!" Lin Shenghu said with a sigh.
"How many years have you been here?" Xu Taiping asked.
"This is the fifth year. I used to work outside. Later, before the old principal passed away, he found me and asked me to come back, so I came back. I have been working here for five years," Lin Shenghu said.
"Staying in a place like this for five years will make things difficult for you." Chu Tian said with emotion.
"It's not too difficult. I'm very happy to see these students learn knowledge from me. In our remote mountainous area, all the young people have gone out to work, leaving these children without anyone to care about them. It's not so much Let them go to school, rather than let them have a place to go when they have free time, so as not to run around." Lin Shenghu said.
"Isn't there another student who didn't come today?" Chu Tian asked.
"Yes, there are often students who don't come. It's normal. I can't ask them to come to class. It's amazing if they come occasionally." Lin Shenghu said.
"How many people will come to class that afternoon?" Xu Taiping asked.
"It should be the eleven in the morning. I told them that they must come, but I can't guarantee how many they will come," Lin Shenghu said.
"What a great responsibility!" Xu Taiping said with emotion.
"Yeah, it's a pity that you only stay with us for a week. It would be nice if it was longer." Lin Shenghu sighed.
"We will spread the word about the situation here, and more people will come when the time comes. You have to believe it!" Chu Tian said.
"Well, I hope so!" Lin Shenghu nodded.
After lunch, the group went back to their rooms to rest.
Lin Shuying was the most diligent. Because there was class in the afternoon, she moved a small bench and sat at the door of the room in the sunniest place to prepare lessons carefully.
The fatigue from the previous journey seemed to have completely disappeared at this time.
Seeing this, Xu Taiping was quite satisfied. At least, everyone was not just here to go through the motions. They really had the intention to do something for the children here.
Soon, the time came to two o'clock in the afternoon.
Elementary school starts at two o'clock in the afternoon, and these people from Jiangyuan University came to the classroom very early to prepare.
Xu Taiping and others sat at the end of the classroom, listening to the class.
At two o'clock, the school bell rang.
There was no one else in the classroom except Xu Taiping and the principal.
"Where are the students?" Xu Taiping couldn't help but ask.
"Well, everyone is more casual in class on weekdays, so this class time is just a decoration for them. Just wait for a while, people will probably come after a while." Lin Shenghu said with some embarrassment.
As soon as Lin Shenghu finished speaking, several children walked into the classroom. These children came to the classroom and sat down carrying the schoolbags they had just received today.
It seemed that they were not used to having so many people in the classroom. These children sat nervously and no one spoke.
After a while, many people came one after another.
Before long, ten students came to the classroom.
There were two others who didn't come, one who hadn't shown up since the morning, and the other, the sixteen-year-old child that Chu Tian said was hostile before.
"Ignore Lin Jun, let's start class." Lin Shenghu said.
"Lin Jun? Is that the sixteen-year-old boy?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Well, it's him. That guy has a tough temper and rarely comes to class on weekdays. Don't worry about him, he probably won't come." Lin Shenghu said.
"Okay, Xiao Lin, let's start class!" Xu Taiping said to Lin Shuying, who was a little nervous on the podium.
Lin Shuying nodded, and then started the class with a smile on her face.
Although she did not graduate from a professional normal school, Lin Shuying still started the class with style.
Xu Taiping sat in the back, looked at the students, and found that these students were still very serious in class.
Halfway through the class, someone suddenly appeared at the front door of the classroom.
That person was none other than Lin Jun.
Lin Jun is very dark, not ordinary black, and he is also very thin.
Although he is sixteen years old, he looks like a city boy who is only thirteen or fourteen years old.
In his hand was a black schoolbag. It looked like Xu Taiping and the others had sent it out today.
It only took half a day, but the schoolbag had already turned into this, which showed that Lin Jun had not been idle for a long time.
Lin Jun didn't care whether he was in class at this time, walked in from the door, and sat down directly in the first row. Then, Lin Jun threw his schoolbag to the side, and then crossed his legs. Put it on the table.
"Classmate Lin, we are in class, put your feet down and listen to the class!" Lin Shuying said.
Lin Jun looked at Lin Shuying coldly and said, "Go to your class and leave me alone."
Lin Shuying frowned and wanted to say something, but considering that she was just a substitute volunteer now, she swallowed her words.
"Lin Jun, put your feet down, you are disrespecting the teacher." Lin Shenghu said.
Lin Jun rolled his eyes, then put his feet down, then lay directly on the table, and actually fell asleep.
"This kid has such a temper. We are all from the same village, so we can't control him too strictly." Lin Shenghu said awkwardly.
"It's okay. Teenage years are the period of rebellion, so it's understandable!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
Although Lin Jun's arrival caused a little disturbance, fortunately the disturbance did not expand. This class was completed completely.
This class was longer than other classes, lasting more than an hour. Xu Taiping didn’t know if these students could learn anything, but at least there were still many people who really listened to the class, especially those who The younger ones seem to be more interested in these courses.
Soon, the course was over.
"You all stay and eat in school tonight!" Lin Shenghu said, stopping the students who were about to leave.
The students were a little excited when they heard that they could eat in school.
"Are you going to eat at school tonight? It seems like there's nothing good to cook in the kitchen." Xu Taiping walked to Lin Shenghu and said.
"The secretary will bring people to bring vegetables and meat over in the evening. After all, you are here, so you have to show something, so tonight we will set up a table for dinner in the playground to welcome you." Lin Shenghu explained.
"There's no need to spend money. We can just eat whatever we want!" Xu Taiping said.
"This is not a waste of money. You brought so many things, right? We have to show our appreciation!" Lin Shenghu said.
"That's okay!" Xu Taiping nodded.
Not long after, it got dark.
Secretary Lin brought a group of villagers, carrying large and small bags, to the school.
