As expected of Sun Zhouzheng, he kept his promise to Lin Yifeng and finally completed all the relevant procedures in May, successfully obtaining Lin Yifeng's junior high school teaching qualification.
The next issue is student recruitment, which is relatively easy to handle. As long as the local schools promote the program and allocate a certain number of places, the recruitment can be completed quickly.
Lin Yifeng was also busy. He contacted the passenger transport company early on and chartered buses from Friday to Sunday to ensure the students could travel back and forth home conveniently.
In early May, almost all schools received documents issued by the local education bureau.
To ensure safety, Lin Yifeng recruited students from three cities that were not far apart: Shangdu, Muye, and Shanyangcheng.
After all, Stone Village is geographically close to all three places, so the main principle is proximity.
Shangdu, inside the Third Experimental Middle School.
A small, dark-skinned, and extremely thin child, carrying a dirty schoolbag, walked into the school with his head down.
As one of the better middle schools in the city, the students here generally come from well-off families.
In a crowd, you can immediately tell that this child is out of place.
At the school gate, several delinquent-looking students leaned against the wall, eyeing a little boy who was walking by with his head down.
"Coal Ball, where are you headed?"
"I'm asking you a question!"
Where are you going?
One of the students went up and kicked the little boy's backpack.
The little boy avoided eye contact.
Perhaps due to stunted growth and short stature, he was noticeably shorter than the group of people. More importantly, the surrounding security guards turned a blind eye to this, as if they didn't see it, allowing these children to continue bullying them.
Many parents passing by pointed and commented on what was happening on campus.
"What's wrong with this child? He's so pitiful."
"Don't ask, he seems to be a student that Teacher Mu recruited at this school."
"Teacher Mu? You mean Teacher Mu Xuejian, who used to teach students at a top provincial high school?"
"Hmm, I don't know what it means either. No one has been taking care of this child."
“Hey, I heard from my child’s homeroom teacher that Teacher Mu has been covering all of the child’s tuition.”
"What about his parents? Don't they care?"
"Shh, Teacher Mu is here."
Many parents at the entrance smiled and bowed to greet the middle-aged teacher wearing a light blue T-shirt.
The person who came was a male teacher who was nearly forty years old, but whose temples were already somewhat gray.
Compared to the parents at this school, his clothing was much simpler, and he wore square-framed glasses, giving him a gentle and refined appearance, but he was noticeably stricter with the students around him.
"Don't run!"
"Why are you running?! This is a school, not a playground!"
"I'm talking about you guys, which class are you in?"
Mu Xuejian parked his old bicycle at the school gate, walked over to the students who had just been running around wildly, and began to criticize them.
After reprimanding the students, the children in the distance saw Mu Xuejian arrive and immediately let go of the dark-skinned little boy.
When Mu Xuejian returned to his office and saw the envelope on the table, he immediately rushed to the principal's office.
Just as he was about to enter, Mu Xuejian remembered something, stopped at the door, and knocked.
There was a sparse sound coming from inside the room, and soon the principal called out in a deep voice.
"Come in!"
Mu Xuejian pushed open the door, and a female teacher with a rosy complexion was standing not far from the desk, while the principal looked at Mu Xuejian with more embarrassment in his eyes.
"Teacher Mu, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry to see me so early in the morning?"
"Principal Ma, I'm here to talk to you about the same thing."
Mu Xuejian ignored what had happened between them and simply pushed the envelope in front of the principal.
The principal picked up the envelope, squinted at it for a while, and then frowned.
"Teacher Mu, do you want Wang Gou Dan from Class 4 to transfer to this school?"
"Um……"
Principal Ma paused for a moment, stroking his chin.
“This is indeed suitable; the child’s family situation is very complicated.”
"If possible, let's go through with this procedure."
"However, this place is in the mountains, and the teaching environment may not be up to par. You should ask your child's opinion first."
When Mu Xuejian saw Principal Ma nod, a bright smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, the female teacher looked at the documents on the table with a worried expression.
"Teacher Mu, have you looked into the situation there?"
"Actually, if you ask, Wang Gou Dan can definitely stay at our school and finish his studies without any problem."
"And this child's grades are indeed excellent."
Mu Xuejian immediately refused after hearing this.
"No!"
“I can pay his tuition.”
"Now that this policy is in place, I'll give it a try."
Principal Ma and the female teacher exchanged a glance. They were both well aware of Mu Xuejian's stubbornness, and neither of them said anything more.
Once outside the office, Mu Xuejian couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The female teacher and Principal Ma were right about one thing.
This school is located in a village under the jurisdiction of a town. In terms of teaching environment, it is incomparable to that of a provincial capital like Shangdu.
Mu Xuejian suddenly began to worry that this might be one of those dilapidated and run-down schools.
After all, he had experience teaching in rural areas when he was young, and he still remembered what the school in the village was like.
"Sigh, I'll talk to the child later."
