At this time, twenty or thirty villagers stood at the entrance of Yunxi Village.

Seeing village chief Andy Lau with two young men, a man and a woman, everyone who had been bored waiting stood up.

Two young people in their 20s quickly lifted a piece of red cloth from both sides. Confucius and Mencius took a closer look and saw a line written on the red cloth: A warm welcome to Teacher Kong to teach at Yunxi Hope School.

This line of characters is written in black ink. Although each character is very large, each stroke is extremely rough, and the combination is even more crooked, like an old man trembling slightly on a cane.

Confucius and Mencius hadn't said anything yet, but Jiang Yun beside him couldn't help but said: "Mr. Kong, it seems that you are not welcome here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Andy Lau immediately retorted: "Why Miss Jiang said that? Everyone stayed here for a full day to wait for Teacher Kong!"

After saying this, Andy Lau immediately became nervous.

Yes, he was indeed very nervous at this moment, and this kind of nervousness was there when he first met Confucius and Mencius.

At that time, he picked up Confucius and Mencius from the train station. Before he had gone far, the other party appeared weak and weak, obviously a little impatient.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yun proposed to call a passenger tricycle. Although Andy Lau strongly rejected it in his heart, he still did not stop it.

At that time, he only hoped that through this blessing, the heart of Confucius and Mencius could be strengthened.

That's right, let Confucius and Mencius stay as much as possible.

Others don't know the situation of Yunxi Hope School in Daqingshan. How could Andy Lau, the head of Yunxi Village and the principal of Yunxi Hope School, not know?

Although the name is Yunxi Hope School and it is also donated in full by the Ancient Chinese Association, Yunxi Hope School is a serious public school.

And Yun hopes that in addition to the state-issued school teachers' salaries, they can also receive another one from the Ancient Chinese Association, and this one is even higher than the state-issued salary.

The reason for this situation is not the panic of the country and the Chinese People's League over burning money, but because of the specific location of Yunxi Hope School.

No way, it is because Yunxi Hope School is too remote. This can be seen from the roadside where Confucius and Mencius had walked for two days.

Since the establishment of Yunxi Hope School, every year this place has recruited teachers from all over the country, and its enrollment requirements are among the lowest in the country.

The first way, as long as you are a college student, even if you don't have a teacher qualification certificate, you will keep one eye open here.

The sign of double wages here is even more eye-catching, that is to say, as long as young people who are determined to support the teaching profession and are willing to contribute to the education of the motherland, they can't help but be moved.

In fact, in the first few years, this enrollment condition did attract a large number of fresh graduates.

Almost every summer vacation, Andy Lau went to Qingshan County Railway Station to pick up people.

But no matter how many times he runs, no matter how low his posture is, none of these newly graduated college students have been here for more than a month.

Even four-fifths of them had not even reached Yunxi Village, and they had already retreated.

So more than 10 years later, the teacher at Yunxi Hope School is still only Linzhi.

To be honest, Andy Lau was very surprised when he suddenly received news from Confucius and Mencius, because it is not the enrollment season for college graduation.

Except for those fresh graduates who are full of enthusiasm and are willing to come here to make a contribution, even if you give a higher salary to the remaining in-service teachers, the other party will not be able to travel here to teach here.

So even if Andy Lau still followed the rules to pick up people, he was ready for Confucius and Mencius to give up halfway.

Andy Lau also saw that Confucius and Mencius looked disgusted when he saw the big iron frame behind his tractor.

The only thing that made Andy Lau thankful was that even if he was reluctant in his face, Confucius and Mencius still chose to get on the tractor instead of turning away like some teachers.

The next step is the most difficult hike into the mountain. In fact, 90% of the teachers left directly because of this step.

There is no way, it is really difficult to walk this section of the mountain road, even a young guy with strong body, there is no way to persist in finishing it.

But Andy Lau was shocked to find that Confucius and Mencius had actually completed it, and it was better than he expected.

Therefore, when he arrived at the entrance of the village, there was a little hope in his heart, a little hope that Confucius and Mencius would stay.

It is precisely because of this that when he heard Jiang Yun's words, his heart tensed subconsciously.

Confucius and Mencius did not know that at this moment, Andy Lau had experienced such a rich psychological activity.

Looking at the crooked handwriting in front of him, he smiled faintly: "You can't tell whether you are welcome or not, but I found everyone's sincerity."

"Sincere?" Jiang Yun asked puzzled.

Confucius and Mencius nodded and said, "Yes, when you look at these handwritings, although the overall picture is not very good, it only means that the person writing is a beginner.

And each stroke of these characters is extremely heavy with ink. Obviously, the other party was not satisfied after writing the characters, and then repeatedly copied the characters.

If you don’t write well, just repeat it over and over again, which shows that the writer attaches great importance to what he writes.

One more thing, if I guess right, the age of the writer is definitely not more than 5 years old."

Listening to Confucius and Mencius talking, Andy Lau couldn't help asking: "Teacher Kong, how do you judge the age of the writer?"

This point surprised Andy Lau. If it's just a redraw of the font, anyone who knows a little about calligraphy can see it.

But judging from the font, the age of the writer is a bit exaggerated.

Even Andy Lau himself could not know the age of the writer without prior knowledge.

Confucius and Mencius just smiled faintly and said, "It's very simple. Writing, especially writing with large brushes, is a test of a person's wrist strength.

A person from birth to 3 years old, from 3 to 5 years old, from 5 to 8 years old, from 8 to 12 years old...

Each age group, because of the different development of bones, the wrist strength exerted is also very different.

When you look at these characters, the strokes are vain and weak, and there is not the slightest skill in using the pen, which is enough to tell the approximate age of the writer.

Andy Lau stopped talking, in fact, Confucius and Mencius guessed pretty well.

These words were indeed written by a 5-year-old child.

The toddler is the youngest student in Yunxi Hope School. Knowing that a new teacher is coming, the little guy didn't fall asleep all night of excitement. On the second day, he clamored to write a welcome speech to the new teacher himself.

Andy Lau originally disagreed, because he usually does this job, and he is also the person who writes the best calligraphy in Yunxi Village.

It's just that the children's ardent Jiuken and the innocent look in expectant eyes can't hold back the children, and finally they have to entrust them with important tasks.

Knowing that this would cause unnecessary misunderstandings, he would never agree to the other party.

It's a pity that this has happened, and it is impossible to restore it.

Andy Lau told the truth about the matter with Confucius and Mencius.

As for whether the other party believes it, and whether he blames himself for rashly handing over the right to write the welcome speech to a young child, it is not his decision.

After listening to Andy Lau's words, Confucius and Mencius looked ahead silently, no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

It took a long time before he recovered and asked Andy Lau, "Where is Teacher Lin? School should be over now at this time, right?"

Seeing Confucius and Mencius directly changed the subject, Andy Lau felt that his brain was not enough.

According to the current situation, the other party's attitude towards the behavior of young children is good or bad, and always have to say two sentences to express their own suggestions.

But Confucius and Mencius didn't say a word.

Shaking his head and getting rid of the mess of thoughts in his heart, Andy Lau said, "Mr. Lin led the students into the mountain in the afternoon, and he won't be able to return until 9:00 pm at the latest.

"Enter the mountain in the afternoon? 9:00 in the evening?" Confucius and Mencius frowned. "It's not Sunday today. Don't the students go to class in the afternoon?"

Although Daqingshan Yunxi Hope School has a remote location and backward educational resources, it is a public school approved by the state anyway.

Even if there is no sponsorship from the Ancient Chinese Association, it should be at least 8 hours a day.

But as a teacher, Lin Zhi took the lead in violating school discipline, even if there is a good reason, it is impossible to do so.

Hearing what Confucius and Mencius said, Andy Lau smiled:

"Ms. Kong knows something. Yunxi hopes that the students at the school are different from those outside.

In addition to learning the knowledge in the textbook, they also have two afternoon extracurricular activities every week.

Teacher Lin will take advantage of these two extracurricular activities to teach everyone to see the plants and trees in the mountains.

Maybe these things are not very useful to the students outside the mountain, but they are essential life skills for the villagers of Yunxi Village.

With Teacher Lin's teaching, when these children grow up, even if they are accidentally trapped in the forest, they will have a better chance of surviving."

"Extracurricular activities? Know the plants and trees in the mountains? Increase your chances of survival?"

Faced with these problems, Confucius and Mencius no longer knew what to say.

He asked: "Uncle Liu, don't these children go to school to change their destiny through reading?

Then why not let them study wholeheartedly in school?

At that time, I will be admitted to high school and then go to university.

As long as you work hard and you can read it out, you can change your destiny."

Andy Lau said with a wry smile: "Read it out and change your destiny? Teacher Kong, it is true that Yunxi hopes that the school has been established for 8 years and a total of 28 children have been graduated from it, but no one can be admitted to the county high school.

and……"

"And what?" Confucius and Mencius couldn't help but ask when Andy Lau was hesitant to speak.

Now that the words have been spoken, Andy Lau simply said to the end: "And even if they are admitted to high school, these children will not be able to pay for their school fees.

I also heard that compared to high school, the tuition fees in college are higher, and everyone in high school can't afford it, let alone college."

Listening to Andy Lau's words, Confucius and Mencius fell into contemplation again.

This is a woman in her 30s with a slightly fat body said: "This is Teacher Kong, everyone welcomes Teacher Kong!"

There was a sparse applause, and he patted a few weakly, then stopped quickly.

Andy Lau glared at these villagers when he saw it, and then shouted: "What are you doing? Didn't you eat at noon? Give me a new look. Welcome Teacher Kong!"

After speaking, he quickly looked at Confucius and Mencius, for fear that these guys' negligence would annoy each other.

While he was watching Confucius and Mencius, Confucius and Mencius looked at the villagers in front of him: "Hello everyone, my name is Confucius and Mencius, and I will be the teacher of Yunxi Hope School from now on. Please take care of me."

Seeing that Confucius and Mencius were very polite, these villagers couldn't help but stare at each other.

It was the middle-aged woman who said: "Teacher Kong, my husband's name is Sun Xianglin, you can call me Xianglin's wife.

I ask you, you wouldn’t live here for a few days like other teachers and just ran away quietly, right?"

After he said this, the other villagers also looked straight over, wanting to hear Confucius and Mencius' reaction to this question.

Who knew it was Andy Lau who spoke first. He glared at Aunt Xianglin and said, "Sun Xianglin's family, what are you talking about?

Since Teacher Kong came to our Yunxi Village, he has no plans to leave.

What did I tell you before I left?

The attitude must be enthusiastic and the spirit must be full.

And I asked you to prepare it?What about things?

Don't tell me, you have secretly finished eating before we come back."

Hearing a series of serious questions from Andy Lau, Xianglin's wife seemed to be fine:

"The village chief, it's not that we don't want to smile at people, nor that we don't want to prepare good food and drink.

The key is that even if we prepare, this teacher Kong will definitely stay.

If he leaves quietly tomorrow, isn't everyone's blood in vain?"

"Yes, the village chief." A middle-aged man next to Xianglin's wife said, "It's not that I am stingy, but that there are only three chickens left in my family, and they are all hens about to lay eggs. It's a shame to stew. .

If you can guarantee that Teacher Kong will stay, even if it is only half a year, let alone killing one, it means killing all our chickens, I won't say a word."

Xianglin's wife also said: "Village Chief, I know you are a good old man, and everyone has seen what you have done for us in Yunxi Village over the years.

But you are the only good person in this world, and we have all been fooled countless times.

This time I will never be fooled again."

To the aggressive villagers, Andy Lau's angry face turned pale: "Didn't we have already agreed before we came? The hostess today is counted on me, and even if Teacher Kong leaves, it is not you who will lose."

Wife Xianglin pouted, "We are not the ones who lost? Then if there is an accident, can you accompany us or something else?"

Andy Lau jammed instantly: "This..."

No, he didn't know how to go on, but he couldn't go on.

Because in the past two years to entertain the teachers who came here to teach, the chickens, ducks and geese fed by his family have long been put on the dining table.

Last time to entertain a teacher, he went door-to-door to persuade these villagers to take out the things he treasured, and he promised that the teacher would stay.

But it turned out that the teacher pointed out that he stayed all night and ran away secretly on the second day.

And Andy Lau directly lost the trust of other villagers because of this incident.
