Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 62 The twisted melon is not sweet
"I think these new teachers will be yellow sooner or later." Dad was two steps behind and whispered in Su Mu's ear: "It depends on the current situation, can the school in the village be run?"

After living in Huatan for a while, my father obviously had a deep affection for this small mountain village.

Naturally, it is urgent to strengthen the Wenhua education in mountain villages, so he really wants the school to run smoothly.

It's just that the current situation is not optimistic. I'm afraid these few college students who have just graduated have no intention of staying in this small valley.Dad thought, the reason they didn't want to stay was because of economic conditions, and if they couldn't do it, their family would put some money out, and the most important thing was being able to support the school.

Su Mu understood his father's thoughts.

Now the vegetables on the farm have begun to be harvested in batches. Although I always store them in my space, I always give some money to my family every time. My father must think that the development of the farm and pasture is good, and there is no need to worry about the economy. Worried about the aspect, so I want to do my best to help Huatanao get rid of poverty and become rich.

My father thought very purely. If the farm made a profit, he would use part of the money to help build a new modern school in the village.

The village will take out another part of the contract money to subsidize the teachers' welfare, so that the three teachers will probably stay in the village to teach well.

But Su Mu's thinking is much longer than his father's.

First of all, the villagers must change their economic conditions through their own efforts, so that they can willingly integrate with the outside world; secondly, relying on their own strength to make a fortune and making money steadily is the right way, and I just give them as much as possible. provide opportunity.

Otherwise, no matter how much money you put in to help them change their external conditions, it would be like a charity.

As the saying goes, "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish." Without their own efforts and only relying on outside help, these villagers will not really become rich.

As for the problem of the school, we can't just blindly promote it from the economic point of view.

The children in the village lack professional education since they were young, which means that they need teachers who are sincere in imparting knowledge.If these teachers only agreed to stay because of the generous conditions offered by the village, then they would not be able to devote themselves to the cause of education. What Huatanao needs now is a patient teacher, even if there is only one.

This group of boy scouts has been idle for so many years, and it will take at least half a year to completely gather them together.

Therefore, as long as the teachers needed at present are patient and able to discipline them, Su Mu does not have much hope for whether the classes can be held normally for the time being.

"Let's take a look first. If we want to leave, we won't stay. The twisted melon is not sweet, and the teacher who insists on profit is too utilitarian, so he is not suitable for teaching this group of children." Su Mu replied in a low voice, "As long as there is If one wants to stay and try, let’s discuss it with the village head and give them better treatment. If no one is willing to stay, I’ll go to the city to find a support teacher.”

"How much does it cost to build a good school? During this period of time, I have saved a lot of money from selling vegetables. Our family does not have much expenditure now. If it is not possible, we can donate to a new school?" Dad holds the financial power of the family , Judging from the current profit situation, he is very confident in the development of farms and pastures, so he asked: "Just build a school like the one in the city, high-tech!"

Su Mu quickly waved his hand, "The school must be built, but not now. The advanced school you mentioned would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to build, let's take it step by step. Otherwise, even if the school is built Well, they will not use those high-tech products for a while, and their academic performance will still not improve.

If you develop the bad habit of playing video games again, it will not be worth the candle.

By the way, isn’t the desktop computer in my room? When we have time, let’s organize villagers to learn how to use computers.If it doesn't work, I have to find a way to organize a literacy class. There are too many people in the village without knowledge and culture. We have to change the status quo to really lead them to become rich. "

"That's fine too." Knowing that his son has a backup, the father calmed down a lot, and took a few steps to greet the guests to come in for dinner.

Su Mu's home seemed to be a meeting point for hospitality and negotiation in the village. At this moment, the respected Mr. Liu Wu of the village greeted the three distinguished guests to sit on the kang in the main room, accompanied by the village head and Su Mu's father. with.Mom has already prepared a sumptuous lunch, most of which are freshly picked vegetables from the field, so every dish is delicious in color, fragrance and taste.

"Come here, don't hesitate to eat more, it's like coming home here, you will be your own family in the future!" The meal was served on the table, Liu Wuye greeted them to move their chopsticks, but smiled and looked at these rare guests from outside.

They looked to be in their twenties, and they were dressed similarly to Su Mu, with simple T-shirts, jeans and sneakers.

The two female teachers are tall and short. An Lu, who is a little taller, is very shy; Zhao Xiaotong, who is a little shorter, is curious about everything, and keeps looking at it when he enters the room. He only saw it on TV. The earth kang and kang table; the male teacher who didn't even introduce himself by name was completely absent-minded, and he only nodded to Liu Wuye and the village chief's warm greeting.

The sumptuous lunch received a lot of praise, especially Zhao Xiaotong, who was the liveliest, kept asking Su Mu's mother how these dishes were made; asked the village chief about the crops in the village.

Fortunately, Su Mu's family speaks Mandarin, and the villagers are used to it. The conversation between the two sides is a little slower, but there is no language barrier.

"Uncle, while it's still early, you should send me back first. I don't think I can adapt to the life here at all, and I also asked just now, these children have never gone to school systematically, in fact, they really haven't." It is necessary to let us students who have graduated from regular universities to teach. Anyone who graduated from high school can be a teacher. I think it is more convenient to go back to the county to work. After all, my family is in Taohua County. It is too far away from home here, and the conditions are good. It's too hard, and I personally can't bear to live and work with these farmers."

The male teacher who had just finished eating and even omitted his self-introduction approached Su Mu's father and directly asked to send him back.

"Young man, you may not have figured it out. I was just helping to pick up the teacher from the county town. The car belongs to our family, not the property of the village. I have no obligation to send you back." Dad was furious, especially disgusted by the way he spoke. The sense of superiority that I feel, as if living in a county is superior to others.

Can't adapt?You are a student from a broken county, and you are also a farmer for two generations. Why do you speak with contempt?

On the way here, I talked better than I sang. What I said was to develop the cultural construction of mountain villages and devote myself to the cause of education. The co-authors were all for fame and fortune. No wonder I asked who donated to the school as soon as I got out of the car!I heard that it was just an ordinary elementary school in the village that immediately changed its face. After coming here for less than two hours, you want to leave after eating and drinking?Figure it out yourself!
"We all have things to do this afternoon. If you want to go back to the county, ask the village chief how he can arrange it." After finishing speaking, Dad put away the car keys and went to drink tea in the next room.

The male teacher was devastated, but he saw that there was no decent new house in the village, and the school in the village was so shabby that he couldn't bear to look directly at it.After thinking for a while, he still approached the village head and expressed his intention to leave tactfully.

"Zhang Kai, didn't you say you want to sow the seeds of education in your Taohua County? Huatanao is also a part of Taohua County, why did you leave before you tried? Do you want to be a deserter?" The lively Zhao Xiaotong heard that he wanted to Leaving, he gave him a strange look.

The three had just met when they were assigned to Huatanao Primary School. The two girls admired Zhang Kai, who imagined the future and had great ambitions along the way. They didn't expect that he would be the first person who wanted to leave!

"It has nothing to do with us whether they go or stay. Xiaotong, let's start preparing lessons this afternoon, and the school will officially start tomorrow. I also heard just now that the children here have never gone to school, and the workload of both of us will be heavy. What?" An Lu, who had a quiet personality, smiled slightly, blocking her companion's reprimand.

Zhao Xiaotong glanced at Zhang Kai with a look of disdain. The other party pretended not to see the girl's contempt, and stood behind the village chief a little uncomfortable, waiting to arrange to send him back to the county.

"Teacher An is right. Our Huatanao is indeed not as good as the conditions outside. Whether to go or stay is everyone's free choice." Su Mu pushed the frame of his glasses and smiled: "I will drive the teacher who doesn't want to stay. Go back to the county seat, should you two think about it again? If you stay, the conditions may be very difficult."

The two girls, An Lu and Zhao Xiaotong, looked at each other tacitly, and then they both took their suitcases and stood opposite Zhang Kai.

"I chose to study at a normal school to teach more children knowledge. It doesn't matter if the conditions are difficult. Anyway, I want to stay and try." Zhao Xiaotong glared at Zhang Kai provocatively as he spoke.

"Although I was born in the city, I have wanted to teach in the mountains since I was a sophomore. I want to stay with Xiaotong." An Lu naturally put a strand of messy hair behind her ears, her face The smile on the face is very gentle.

Unexpectedly, the two girls were willing to stay, and Su Mu admired them very much.

"I'm going to the county right now, do you have any personal belongings that you need to bring?" He took the car keys from his father, and was about to make a quick trip to send Zhang Kai, who disliked Huatanao, away, and buy some needed ones along the way. Items to do their own business.

The two girls hurriedly waved their hands, indicating that what they brought was enough for the time being.

Su Mu thinks that his mother and grandmother are careful people, if the two little girls lack something, they will definitely help prepare it.

So he took the key and opened the car door, and he smiled at his family: "Then I will go to the county first; the village is just about to build roads, and the two teachers live in Mr. Zhang's courtyard. You, the village chief, arrange to take them to the The road to the school should be repaired first. If it starts to rain in two days, the dirt road will be too difficult to walk on. Mom, please arrange accommodation for the two teachers at home. If there is anything missing, let my dad drive to the town to buy it. I have to go to the racecourse I contacted, and I may not come back for a day or two, let's call if there is anything to do!"
