Chapter 78 Jinjiang Exclusive
Thus, Lai Xuanyao's days as a teacher officially began.
After all, he is a man, and he was spoiled and raised since childhood. Lai Xuanyao, who is used to reaching out for his clothes, has basically zero life skills.Yu Yicheng usually cleans his and Yu Yicheng's bedrooms, sometimes even the bedroom is cleaned by his aunt, and the clothes are washed by his aunt. For Lai Xuanyao, the most likely thing he does is to please Yu Yicheng. Learn to cook for a while.
The next day, the village head's rooster hadn't crowed yet, but there was already a lot of noise outside the house.
Lai Xuanyao himself was a light sleeper, and he gradually woke up when he heard the voice. He took the phone and looked at it, it was six o'clock.
He stayed on the warm kang for a while and reluctantly got up. When he was putting on his shoes, there was a knock on the door, and the village chief shouted outside: "Master Lai, are you awake?"
"It's already up, come in." Lai Xuanyao tied up his shoelaces, and when he looked up, he saw the village chief in thick clothes.
"Master Lai, did we bother you? We are used to getting up early, and we have no choice but to fall asleep. How about you, did you sleep well?"
Lai Xuanyao did a few stretching movements and said with a smile: "It's good, you guys... are very comfortable and warm." He pointed his hand at the kang, and saw the crooked and really bad quilt at the top of the kang. With a smile, "Well, it's pretty good."
The village head is also a big man, but he is obviously not a big man like Lai Xuanyao. He yelled, "Daughter-in-law!" Within ten seconds, a woman dressed like a ball rushed into the room, The village head looked up aggressively, "Let's go and clean up the house."
The woman looked very virtuous and nodded frequently with a smile. Lai Xuanyao and the village chief walked out. After walking a few steps, the village chief stopped again and asked suddenly: "Mr. Lai, where are you changing your clothes? I will ask my wife to help you." wash together."
Lai Xuanyao's smile froze on his face, and he recovered quickly, laughing and said: "No need, no need, I don't need to bother my sister-in-law, I just wash it myself."
The village head let out a hey, "Where is it, you don't have to be polite, let us do what we can do."
Lai Xuanyao hurriedly tried to evade the excuse. Although he was gay, it felt weird to ask an unfamiliar woman to do a change of laundry for a big man.
In the end, he still couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the village chief. Lai Xuanyao agreed to ask the village chief's wife to help him with the outer coat, while he washed the underwear by himself.
After saying goodbye to the village head's wife, Lai Xuanyao came out to the yard and found that Zhang Ke and his party had already arrived, standing in the pitch-black yard to tidy up. As soon as he appeared, the flashlight hit his face immediately.
Lai Xuanyao thought silently with a blank expression on his face. Fortunately, he wiped his face with a wet towel when he was in the room just now, otherwise it would really be the original eye shit.Affected by the original conditions of the village, it was impossible to pay attention to lighting as usual for photography. Zhang Ke pushed the village head and Lai Xuanyao forward, and the photographer Liu followed behind with a camera, which was regarded as shooting.
It was originally a reality show, and there would be clips, so Lai Xuanyao ignored it, and followed the village head to the primary school in Hongxiangou Village, Hongxian Primary School.The village head's house is close to the school, and they walked for five or six minutes to get there, asking about the situation in the school while walking.
Going around a circle of earthen walls, we arrived in front of the school gate. Looking around, the school had lights at this time, and the children's noisy voices could still be vaguely heard.
Lai Xuanyao couldn't help but marvel: "Why do they get up so early?"
The village chief skillfully unlocked the gate in the dark, and said, "It's not too early, when there was no school building, some children were far away, and they had to get up at four o'clock, and they had to walk for three hours to get here. "
Lai Xuanyao's expression darkened, and he said unconsciously: "It's hard work for them."
The principal directly led a group of people to the school building. Because there were not many people in the school, the children slept in two large rooms, one for boys and one for girls.
Four-fifths of the house is occupied by a big Kang, and the remaining one-fifth is furnished with a few tables for one person and a whole row of kettles. Dressed neatly and huddled on the kang, several children looked at them with books in their hands in fear.
Although he has done a lot of charitable donations and filmed movies in the countryside before, but seeing the living conditions of the students with his own eyes, seeing nearly twenty boys squeezed into the common bunk that originally slept ten people at most, Lai Xuanyao still For the first time, his eye circles were red and he pursed his lips, unable to speak.
Xiao Liu was keen to capture the camera, and he came back to his senses when he heard the students shouting "Hi Principal" in unison.
"This is Mr. Lai. He's from a big city. He's going to teach at school for a week. You have to be obedient, you know?" The headmaster's voice suddenly rose, adding a bit of dignity.
"Got it!" The student's answer was deafening.
Lai Xuanyao smiled and introduced himself: "Hello students, I am your new teacher, Lai Xuanyao, I may not have your teacher's major, but I will seriously teach you! I hope to be your good friend!"
No one responded to him.The students looked at Lai Xuanyao with some vigilance, and they all looked hesitant to speak. A few of them stared at the camera next to Lai Xuanyao, and kept their mouths shut.
"Okay, I'll take you to the classroom to have a look." The principal nodded with a satisfied expression on his face.
"Hmm." Lai Xuanyao turned around and was about to leave when he heard a soft male voice, "Is Teacher Lai the one from the city?"
All the people stopped and looked back, the boy talking quickly became the focus, the boys beside him were chirping and whispering, and he was the only one sitting quietly in the middle, looking at Lai Xuanyao expectantly.
Without the principal's reminder, Lai Xuanyao instantly knew who the person who asked him was. He smiled and answered the boy, "Well, it's me, what's wrong?"
"...I" the boy bit his lip and stammered for a while before he said slowly: "My parents are also in the city...but I haven't seen them for a long time...Mr. Lai, can you see my parents? "
Before Lai Xuanyao could speak, the principal said sternly: "He Xiaoguang! How could Mr. Lai see your parents in such a big city? Don't ask Mr. Lai such questions again. You are all the same, you know?"
No one responded, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Lai Xuanyao did not speak until he walked out of the school building with the principal, he tightly pursed his mouth, his mind was full of the disappointed and lonely expressions on the children's faces when the principal scolded him just now, especially the one named He Xiaoguang.
After seeing the classroom where he was going to attend class, Lai Xuanyao couldn't hold it back. He stood in front of the national flag and asked the principal, "Are the parents of these children working in the city?" He had read the news a long time ago. Children sometimes do not see their parents for a year.
"Not all, some children live in school because their homes are too far away, and the roads are difficult to walk at night. Some of their parents have gone to work in the city, leaving a child to go to school here. There is no way, our children are in schools in the city. Where can I start?"
"Did He Xiaoguang's parents go to work in the city?" Lai Xuanyao asked.
"They are dead." The village chief took out a dry cigarette and lit it. "We didn't tell him, but I think he should have guessed it. He just doesn't want to believe it."
Lai Xuanyao had a look of disbelief, "Why... how did you die?"
The village head exhaled a puff of smoke, and the vicissitudes of life began to narrate: "His parents were among the first to enter the city. He was only five years old at that time, and he was not even old enough to go to school here. His parents Come beg me, tell me to leave this child here and help take care of it."
"In the first few years, they came back every year, and they didn't stay for long. They left after the new year, but that was enough for Xiaoguang's child to be excited, and he kept his report card flat and waited for them to come back. But later, they celebrated the new year. They just sent things back, saying that they couldn’t buy a ticket to go home, and they couldn’t come back. The year before last, they didn’t even send anything back, so I found it strange, so I went to inquire, only to find out that they might have died.”
"Maybe?" Lai Xuanyao was puzzled.
"It's almost inseparable. Some people from the next village went out to work with them. I called and asked, and they all said that He Xiaoguang's parents lived in a shed at the foot of the mountain in the suburbs of the city. In summer, it rained heavily and the mountains and rivers flowed on the mountain. Drowning, many people died."
Lai Xuanyao was worried when he heard it, and quickly retorted: "Then they may not be the ones who died, maybe they just happened to be away, and besides, the government will notify the family members of the dead."
The village chief patted Lai Xuanyao on the shoulder meaningfully, "Where are there so many? If you don't come to work together, you will know that something has happened. How does the government manage it? Outsiders go out to work illegally, even across the shack. None of them knew each other's real names, how could the government know who died."
Lai Xuanyao still wanted to find a reason to refute, but countless words were stuck in his throat, piercing him like fishbone, making him so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak.
Hearing what the principal said, has that He Xiaoguang become an orphan?
For some reason, he suddenly thought of Yu Yicheng.At this time, the school bell rang.
