Li Dahai was a little at a loss for a moment. Bi Feiyu saw this and smiled and said, "Principal, we actually heard that there was a school in the mountains when we were passing by, so we came in on a whim to have a look."
On a whim... Li Dahai couldn't help but sigh. The style of doing things of these great writers is really very different from ordinary people. Normally, no one would walk most of the Tianshan Mountain on a whim, and even bring Shi Tiesheng, who has difficulty in walking, with him.
"Then you..." Li Dahai was about to ask Yu Hua what exactly they wanted to do, but suddenly he slapped his head, "I'm really dizzy. Let some gentlemen take everyone to sit down. There aren't enough chairs in the office. I'll go right away.
Move some here, you have come a long way, drink some rough tea first."
But Bi Feiyu grabbed Li Dahai and said, "Principal, please stop busy. We have been running for so long and we are not here to drink tea. If it is convenient for you, please take us around the school. Everyone is very happy."
Pay attention to the students’ situation.”
"Then...hey, I won't be pretentious anymore." Li Dahai said with a smile, "It happens to be class time now. Let me take you to have a brief look at the students' class."
Bi Feiyu nodded and said to the old man leading the way, "Uncle, thank you for bringing us here."
The old man waved his hand, "Nothing, nothing."
Just out of the principal's office is the fourth-grade classroom. Chinese classes are being held at this time, but the students' attention is no longer on the blackboard.
Yu Hua and his group came with great momentum, and the students had long been attracted by such a group of people.
Not to mention the students, even the teachers in class were muttering and guessing what the situation of this group of people was.
The last time they saw such a formation was a few months ago when the Municipal Education Bureau sent a team to inspect teaching, but even then, there were fewer people than this time.
Taohu Village Primary School is sponsored by Deep Space Corporation, so it is somewhat famous in the local area. The Education Bureau is also very concerned about it, fearing that something like Banqiao Village will happen again.
Seeing that the students' attention was focused on him and others, Yu Hua smiled and said, "It seems that we have affected the normal work of the school."
Li Dahai on the side said quickly, "No, no, it is our village's honor that you can come to our Taohu Village. The students have been staying in the village and don't often see people from outside, so they are a little curious."
Bi Feiyu smiled and asked, "Principal Li, how many teachers are there in your school now?"
"Including me, there are seven in total." Li Dahai said.
"Seven, that's a bit too few."
There are five grades and seven teachers. On average, there are only 1.4 teachers per grade, and one of them is the principal.
Li Dahai smiled and said: "That's right. When Deep Space didn't support us, there were only three teachers in the school including me."
Zhao Yan was surprised and said, "How can three teachers teach five grades? You don't have the ability to clone yourself."
"Of course we don't have the ability to separate ourselves, so we can only bring the students together, usually two adjacent grades together. For example, the first grade and the second grade are often taught in the same class. When I teach the first grade
, the second graders are studying by themselves next to them, and when teaching the second graders, let the first graders study by themselves." As he spoke, the smile on Li Dahai's face became even brighter, "This is also a helpless method, the students are young, let them
I don’t feel comfortable studying in another classroom, so I have to stay. But there is also an unexpected benefit. The second graders can review the first grade courses, and the first grade students can also study the second grade courses in advance.”
Although Li Dahai is very optimistic, everyone knows the hardships involved.
If two grades are taught together for a long time, the teacher may become confused.
Most of the students in the writer's class are from cities and towns, with a few from rural areas. Their family situations are much better than those in Taohu Village.
In a place like Taohu Village, before deep space funding existed, it was not easy for students to finish primary school, and it was even more of a luxury to think about anything else.
"How have the school students changed after you were funded by deep space?" Bi Feiyu asked.
Li Dahai shook his head and said, "No, it's still decreasing every year."
Everyone was a little surprised by this answer. They thought that funding from the Deep Space Company would help Taohu Village get more students.
Shen Kong has funded many schools, the more famous of which are Lichao Primary School and Shen Kong No. 1 Hope Primary School. Both schools are getting better and better, and there are more and more students in the school.
In particular, the First Hope Primary School in Deep Space is now very large and is the best primary school in the area.
Therefore, in everyone's impression, the schools funded by the Deep Space Corporation must be getting better and better, with more and more students in the schools.
Seeing everyone's surprise, Li Dahai smiled and said, "Not only are there fewer students, but the number of villagers in our Taohu Village is also decreasing year by year, and more and more people are going out to work. Life in the mountains cannot be compared with that in towns.
Those who make some money would rather rent a house outside than come back."
Bi Feiyu and the others nodded, the current environment is like this.
The domestic economy is developing rapidly and requires a lot of workers. In addition, it is difficult to farm land due to current policies, so people are running to big cities to devote themselves to construction.
This is a general trend, and it cannot be changed by the Deep Space Company funding a local primary school.
Yu Hua suddenly remembered that when talking to Yu Dong before about this matter, the Deep Space Company gave very little money when subsidizing schools in mountain villages, and basically just barely solved the problems at hand.
Now it seems that Yu Dong and others also have this consideration.
Schools in mountain villages will disappear sooner or later, and investing too much in them would be a waste.
In fact, the best solution to the problems in Taohu Village is to move the entire Taohu Village down the mountain and build collective housing for them on a piece of land. This can solve various problems such as housing and education.
Yu Hua looked at the students again and saw that they were still looking at this side, so he asked Li Dahai, "Is it convenient for us to go in?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Um, of course, of course, no problem."
Li Dahai walked in immediately and whispered a few words to the teacher on the podium. The teacher showed a surprised expression and quickly walked off the podium.
"Hello teachers, welcome to our Taohu Village to guide our work. I am the class teacher of the second grade, and my name is Tao Yuansheng."
"Teacher Tao, please forgive me for coming here rashly and disturbing your work," Bi Feiyu said.
"No, no, no, you can come, we can't even hope for it."
…
Yu Hua and the others stayed at Taohu Village Primary School for three days, and each of them taught at least one lesson to the students.
Including Shi Tiesheng, who is in a wheelchair, read a passage from his "The Temple of Earth and Me" to the fifth-grade students, and then told the students a lot about his time of jumping in line.
Children may not be able to appreciate the taste of "The Temple of Earth and Me" yet, but they are very interested in Shi Tiesheng's story.
Although Shi Tiesheng talked about how he fell ill and how he gave up on himself, he did so in a very optimistic way, which often made the students laugh out loud.
Not to mention Yu Hua and the others’ classes, they always made me laugh out loud.
I stayed at Taohu Village Primary School for three days. In addition to attending classes, they also helped the school with a lot of infrastructure construction.
The most unexpected thing is that Chen Mobai turned out to be proficient in carpentry and made some compasses, rulers and even chairs for the students.
They will also take students to draw pictures on the school walls, sing and play the flute in the mountains and forests.
Not only do they teach students, they also follow them after school to herd cattle, drive geese, fish, and catch shrimps.
They left on the morning of the fourth day, without saying goodbye to the students, and set off before dawn.
Li Dahai suggested that they say goodbye to the children in person, but Yu Hua refused.
After leaving Taohu Village, Yu Hua and the others went to several schools one after another, staying in each school for two or three days.
…
Yu Dong had been paying attention to Yu Hua's and the others' itinerary, and he smiled knowingly when he learned that they had been hanging out in schools along the way recently.
In fact, before Yu Hua and the others left, Yu Dong wanted to tell them about this and let them have time to visit the schools in the countryside.
Let’s not talk about what Yu Hua can teach the students, but the appearance of celebrities like Yu Hua in life will have a great impact on the students and will open up a whole new world for them.
Education is a very mysterious thing. Sometimes years of teaching may not be as good as a moment of instruction.
The reason why Yu Dong didn't say anything at that time was because he didn't want Yu Hua and the others to bear too much responsibility for their trip. Unexpectedly, although he didn't mention it, Yu Hua and the others took the initiative to do this.
After pondering for a while, Yu Dong called the secretariat and said, "Arrange a trip to Yandu for me tomorrow morning."
"Boss, are you going alone?"
"Well, I'm alone."
"Do I need to arrange a return trip?"
"Wait for news from me on the way back."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."
…
On the afternoon of the next day, Yu Dong appeared in Donghu Town, under the jurisdiction of Fushun County, Yandu.
Yu Hua and the others just arrived at Donghu Middle School yesterday, and Yu Dong wanted to meet them at school.
The car stopped two hundred meters away from the school. Yu Dong got out of the car alone and walked towards the school.
The accompanying security personnel did not dare to take it lightly and quickly arranged themselves around.
Since the last incident, the security force around Yu Dong has become very strong. For this trip, the security company directly allocated two teams, one of which has come to Donghu Town in advance to investigate.
Donghu Middle School is an early school funded by the Deep Space Company. Because it is located in the town, it has developed relatively smoothly in the past few years.
Deep Space Company provided Donghu Middle School with not only funds, but also a mature teaching system. This teaching system was developed by Deep Space Company after a long period of exploration.
This teaching system combines the characteristics of well-known schools such as Jinling Middle School and Jiguang Middle School, and has also been improved according to the situation of township schools. It was used very well in some junior high schools in Jinling before. After coming to Donghu Middle School, I was not acclimatized and still remained the same.
Performance is very good.
Today, Donghu Middle School has become a famous local school with more than 6,000 students and no longer needs funding from the Deep Space Corporation.
The road in front of the school is also very well built. On both sides of the road are various stationery stores, supermarkets, and food stalls, making it a bustling scene.
Halfway through, Yu Dong entered a large bookstore.
This is a habit of Yu Dong. Every time he goes to a place, he has to check out the local bookstores, because he believes that the temperament of a place can be seen from the bookstores of the place.
The name of this bookstore is "Dongzhong Bookstore". The name means that this bookstore should have been opened relatively early.
The bookstores that open at the school entrance are of course mostly filled with various teaching materials and stationery supplies. The front half of the Dongzhong Bookstore is full of these, while the back is mostly filled with literary works.
The boss is an old man in his fifties or sixties, wearing a pair of reading glasses, sitting behind the cashier and reading a book.
When someone comes into the store, the boss doesn't even raise his head and is still reading.
Perhaps because Yu Dong funded Donghu Middle School, there was a shelf in the bookstore full of Yu Dong's books. Yu Dong probably glanced at it and found that except for some rare editions, all versions of his books could be seen here.
Except for his books, the rest are basically literary works of a certain age, many works from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Yu Dong looked around, and his eyes suddenly stopped on the spine of a book.
"Notre Dame de Paris (Part 1)" is a novel by Victor Hugo. It is not surprising that it appears here in Yudong. It is placed next to "Les Misérables", "The Red and the Black", and "The Human Comedy".
”, “Petro Goriot” and other works, the boss seems to like French literature very much.
The reason why this book "Notre Dame de Paris" attracts Yu Dong is because of its version.
Fearing that his judgment would be wrong, Yu Dong opened the book and read it again.
Sure enough, this book has been published since April 1949, with a first printing of 1,500 copies, published by Camel Bookstore.
Luotuo Bookstore is a second-tier unit of Shanghai Life Bookstore and is not well-known. However, the translation of "Notre Dame de Paris" first appeared in Luotuo Bookstore, which is the book in Yu Dong's hand.
Because of the place where it appeared, Yu Dong suspected that it was a fake. Although this edition of "Notre Dame de Paris" is not a rare treasure now, it did not appear in a small bookstore that sells teaching aids.
The truth is, after all, it is a book published fifty years ago.
But Yu Dong read it from beginning to end several times, and found nothing wrong. This book was the same as the three sets in his home, but this book has two sides, and there is only one upper volume here.
"Boss, is this book for sale?"
The boss said without raising his head, "This store sells all the books, including the one I have."
Yu Dong smiled, walked to the cashier with the book, and handed the book to the boss: "How much does this book cost?"
"This book..." The boss looked at the book and was suddenly startled, "You want to buy this book? This book only has the first volume. Why are you buying it back?"
