Chapter 180 Rural Teacher
The sun was shining outside at noon, so she couldn't go out so she rested at Yuan Yuan's house. Cai Ling prepared two cave dwellings. Four people were separated into one room, which was very spacious.
The cave dwelling is a good thing. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. Although the sun is shining outside, it is still cool in the room.
Fang Minghua had the habit of taking a nap. He lay on the bed covered with a thin quilt and slept. When he woke up, he saw Lu Yao sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding a cigarette in one hand and lying on the small table writing something. .
"Brother Lu, are you accumulating materials?" Fang Minghua got up and asked.
"Yes, I want to write down everything Duan Yuan said today. The real things are more touching than the stories we made up." Lu Yao said and wrote.
Fang Minghua nodded.
Now Lu Yao and Shi Tiiesheng are busy taking notes and preparing materials for when they return. Do you want to write something?
The sun went down in the afternoon, and the four of them went out for a walk again, and didn't come back until dark.
The next morning, Fang Minghua was sleeping when he was awakened by the noise outside. It turned out that there was a primary school not far away, and the children were doing exercises.
He got up, put on his clothes and washed his face. Lu Yao was gone. When they asked Shi Tiesheng, they found out that he had left early on the tractor with Yuan Yuan. They heard that they were going far this time and were going to the place where bricks were burned and soil was taken. .
"I'm going to the elementary school." Fang Minghua said, pointing to the school not far away.
“Let’s go, all the way.” Shi Tiesheng said.
So Fang Minghua and Sun Lizhe pushed Shi Tiesheng's wheelchair and slowly walked towards the school.
The village school is very small, with only one cave dwelling and one teacher with more than thirty students. When Fang Minghua and the others walked over. A man in his thirties was knocking on the tree in front of the kiln to hang a piece of cannonball skin - according to Shi Tiiesheng, it was left behind by Hu Zongnan.
The sound of "dang, dang, dang" rang out, and the children who were running and playing on the small playground in front of the cave immediately rushed to the cave, and the man followed him in. Before long, the sound of Lang Lang's reading could be heard in the cave.
"Pony Crossing the River"
There lived an old horse and a pony in the stable.
One day, the old horse said to the little horse: "You have grown up, can you help your mother do something?" The little horse jumped up and said: "Why not? I am very willing to help. You do the work."
The old horse said happily: "Okay, you can carry this half bag of wheat to the mill."
Primary school Chinese language "Pony Crossing the River"
Fang Minghua and the three of them stood outside the cave dwelling and listened quietly.
Shi Tiesheng was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the teacher who was giving a lecture in the cave, and said: "His name is Li, Li Fuyuan. I remember he was teaching here when we jumped in line here, isn't it, Li Zhe?
“Yes, he is a third-year senior. He originally entered the university, but the university did not admit students that year, so he had to return to the village to work as a private teacher. He is probably three or four years older than us. He has read a book, so he can talk to us. Come, come and play when there is no class. "Sun Lizhe replied.
Teacher Li, who was teaching in the cave, also noticed the three people outside the cave. He nodded to them as a greeting and continued to teach his own text until he finished teaching the children again. Read it carefully, and then walk out of the cave.
"Teacher Li." Shi Tiiesheng and Sun Lizhe both shouted.
"Oh no wonder they look familiar. It turns out that Tie Sheng and Li Zhe are back." Teacher Li greeted them quickly.
"Come back for a visit?"
"Well, I want to come back and have a look, Teacher Li. I didn't think so and I'd rather teach here." Shi Tiiesheng said.
"I don't teach, there is no one." Teacher Li said something, and then quickly said: "I am just about to teach the second grade students, and I have to teach the third grade students like this. After school is over in the afternoon How about you guys come over and have a chat?”
"Okay, then we won't disturb you." The three of them said goodbye and left.
Fang Minghua didn't say anything. He waited until he was on the way back before asking, "Tie Sheng, why are there different grades in a cave dwelling?"
"Many villages here are like this. In this village, senior students have to go to the rural primary school to attend classes." Shi Tiesheng sighed: "It was like this when I left. I didn't expect that it would still be like this after so many years." "The classrooms are not enough, and the most important thing is the lack of teachers. ." Sun Lizhe intervened and explained: "I left here late, so I know better."
"If there are no public teachers, can't we still hire private teachers?" Fang Minghua was a little confused. .
"Minghua, you probably don't know, private teachers are still paid," Sun Lizhe explained patiently.
Each private teacher in an elementary school received 14 yuan per month. At that time, before the land was allocated to each household, private teachers were considered part-time workers. The education authorities provided part of the subsidy, but each brigade had to pay part of it.
But after the distribution of farmland to each household, the wages of private teachers have also increased. Without collective income, each brigade will not be able to pay this part. For example, in Guanjiabao Village, the village is small and poor, and it is estimated that it cannot afford to pay teachers. salary. ”
Oh.
That’s it.
"The state has been taking exams in the past two years, and private schools have been transferred to public schools. I don't know if Mr. Li has passed the exam?" Shi Tiiesheng asked.
“I don’t know, but I heard that Mr. Li’s academic performance was very good and he would have no problem getting into college.”
At almost four o’clock in the afternoon, Mr. Li took the initiative to go to Yuan Yuan’s house. See Fang Minghua and the others.
"Teacher Li, is school over?" Shi Tiiesheng asked.
"Let it go, rural children, let it go early."
Shi Tiesheng introduced Lu Yao and Fang Minghua to Li Fuyuan. Teacher Li looked at everyone and said with a smile: "They are all great writers, are they here to collect their works?"
"No, mainly to accompany Tiesheng When I came back to see him, he said he hadn't been back for more than ten years," Fang Minghua explained.
"How is it? Has it changed a lot?" Teacher Li sat down on the kang and asked with a smile.
"It's quite big. You look like a dual family, but the village primary school hasn't changed much." Shi Tiesheng replied.
“How has the school changed? As the saying goes, a strong camp is built with flowing water. In fact, the same is true for schools. I sent away students one after another. Back then, the younger brother of Yuan Yuan was still a little kid. I had a runny nose in class, and I married my mother-in-law last year.”
Li Fuyuan laughed as he spoke.
"Teacher Li, the country has been recruiting public teachers in recent years. Have you passed the exam?" Shi Tiiesheng asked tentatively.
"I passed the exam. When the college entrance examination was resumed in 1978, I went to take the college entrance exam. I failed to pass the high school knowledge for too long, so I failed the exam. Then I took the public teacher exam and passed the exam the next year." Li Yuanfu said.
"Okay, Teacher Li, then you didn't leave? Are you just going to stay here?" Sun Lizhe asked.
“I wanted to leave, but the first year I was admitted to the public school, the county education bureau wanted to transfer me to teach in the county primary school, because at that time my test score was the first in the county.”
"But our village is poor and remote. Public teachers are unwilling to come, and private teachers cannot afford it. If I leave, what will happen to these children? Just teach them. Another five years of teaching have passed."
< br>"I heard that the county still hasn't sent any teachers here this year, so I guess I'll have to continue teaching." Teacher Li smiled and said, "But it's okay. The school is not in good condition but it's close to home. My son is in my class now." . ”
Fang Minghua said nothing and looked at the middle-aged man.
He is no different from an ordinary man from Qinbei. His skin is rough due to the wind and sand, and he looks a little older than his actual age. However, a pen in his chest pocket shows that the owner is an educated person.
There are many teachers like this in this era not only in northern Qin, but also throughout China, especially in the central and western regions.
That is to say, they support rural basic education in this era.
