Shangdu.
In his dilapidated courtyard, Mu Xuejian was patiently explaining the merits of the school to Wang Gou Dan's grandparents, describing the school's environment in glowing terms.
This made Wang Gou Dan's grandparents somewhat skeptical.
After all, who would believe that a school in a rural area could be better than a primary school in the capital?
After hesitating for a long time, Wang Gou Dan's grandparents looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Teacher Mu, we are willing to believe you."
"If you say this school is good, we'll believe you."
"As long as Gou Dan can study, that's better than anything else."
Wang Gou Dan's grandmother turned to look at Gou Dan, her eyes filled with guilt.
"This child just loves reading; we don't have the means to do so."
"We will follow your arrangements, Teacher Mu."
Mu Xuejian looked at Gou Dan's grandparents and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He just smiled slightly, then patted his chest and assured him.
"Uncle, Auntie."
"Leave this to me."
After settling everything in, Mu Xuejian told Wang Gou Dan to just stay home this week and that he would handle the school matters.
After finishing all this, Mu Xuejian returned home, loosened his belt, changed into slippers, and leaned back on the sofa to let out a long sigh.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of a key turning in the lock came from the front door, and Mu Xuejian finally woke up from his deep sleep.
Mu Xuejian's wife looked at her sleepy-eyed husband and smiled gently.
"Why are you sleeping here?"
Mu Xuejian rubbed his sore nose and slowly sat up from the bed.
"I didn't notice, and when I came to my senses I was already asleep."
The wife smiled and didn't say much. After preparing and putting everything down, she began to prepare dinner.
While his wife was busy in the kitchen, she kept asking Mu Xuejian how his trip to Stone Village went that day.
Mentioning this, Mu Xuejian also became interested and patiently explained the appearance of Shitou Village Primary School to his wife.
The wife looked shocked after hearing this.
"Yeah?"
"This boss is amazing. He's also benefiting his hometown by building schools for the children."
"It's a pity that there isn't a single junior high school teacher in the school."
After letting out a long sigh, the wife continued chopping vegetables.
Inside the house, Mu Xuejian seemed lost in thought.
After an unknown amount of time, during the meal, Mu Xuejian was still holding his chopsticks, lost in thought for a long time.
The wife noticed that her husband was lost in thought and teased him with a smile.
"Old Mu, what are you thinking about?"
"Their school is short of teachers, are you still going to go?"
His wife had only made a casual joke, but she soon noticed that Mu Xuejian did not respond or refute it.
His wife looked at Mu Xuejian with an incredulous expression, her eyes filled with surprise.
He did not expect that Mu Xuejian would not refute this at all.
Having shared a bed for so many years, how could she not see through Mu Xuejian's thoughts?
The wife sighed helplessly. She didn't show much emotion, just muttered to herself as she picked up some food.
"Go if you want to."
"Anyway, our Xiao Mu will graduate from university soon and will be settled down."
"It's good that you're going, since you like children."
Mu Xuejian looked up at his wife, quite surprised.
"You don't object?"
"be opposed to?"
The wife snorted coldly, feigning disgust.
"What's the point of my objection?"
"We've been living together for so many years."
"I know what kind of person you are."
Hearing his wife's words, Mu Xuejian also showed a bright smile.
What he was hesitating about was whether he should give up his current stable and comfortable life and go back to Stone Village to do more good deeds.
After all, he genuinely felt sorry for these children.
If he doesn't go, then even fewer people will want to go there to teach.
Although this is considered a teaching support program, the local environment is significantly better. Mu Xuejian really wanted to help, but he was worried about his wife's feelings at home.
However, no one expected that his wife would be so open-minded.
After receiving his wife's permission, Mu Xuejian was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.
The next morning, Mu Xuejian went straight to school.
Upon arriving at the school, he first went to the Academic Affairs Office to process Wang Gou Dan's transfer. Afterward, he took the relevant documents and went straight to Principal Ma's office.
A moment later, Principal Ma's exclamation came from inside the office.
"Old Mu!"
"Are you crazy, or am I crazy?!"
You must be joking with me!
Mu Xuejian looked at Principal Ma with a serious expression and patiently explained.
"That's right, Principal Ma."
"I've discussed this with my wife."
"I'm planning to go there. Please make the arrangements, Principal."
Principal Ma was completely stunned.
As an outstanding teacher in Shangdu, he is now a pillar of their Third Experimental Middle School.
You told me that he went to the countryside and suddenly decided to go teach there.
Given the current scarcity of teaching resources, who would be willing to give up such high-quality teaching resources?
When Principal Ma saw that Mu Xuejian was serious, he immediately refused.
"no!"
"Who agreed to this? I can't agree to it!"
"Isn't this ridiculous?!"
"You are an outstanding teacher in our Shangdu, how could you go to a place like that?"
Mu Xuejian frowned slightly.
In his mind, teaching is teaching no matter where you are, and the purpose is to nurture children.
