Song Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief after she slipped out. This urging for marriage came so suddenly!
What do you mean you’re already seventeen? I’m only seventeen, still a big baby!
Walking along the river, the trees on the river bank are still green, without any sign of winter desolation.
The stream flows slowly, and from time to time it collides with the rocks and creates a few drops of love splashes.
Isn't it said that when water is too clear, there are no fish? Why can I still see small fish fry jumping around in the water?
Can I only blame myself for having very good eyesight?
Song Jinxiu stood on the bridge and looked at the river. The wind blew gently, ruffling the few strands of Song Jinxiu's scattered hair.
The picture is quiet and beautiful.
"Hah, hah. Oh my god, the wind is so strong on the bridge. It makes me feel cold all over!" Song Jinxiu rubbed her hands and hurried home.
You can enjoy the scenery anytime, but if you catch a cold you have to take bitter Chinese medicine.
"Happy New Year! Are you out for a walk too?" As soon as Song Jinxiu walked down the bridge, she saw Dalinzi walking over.
"Oh, yes! Let's go out for a walk." Dalinzi said embarrassedly!
"Then remember not to stand on the bridge. I just walked over there. The wind is so strong and so cold!" Song Jinxiu said.
"Well, do you want to go out for a walk too? I know a lot of places with beautiful scenery. Do you want me to take you there?" asked Dalinzi.
"No need, I've already walked around, it's too cold. It's better to stay home and be comfortable." Song Jinxiu said and walked home. "You can take your time to walk around, I'm going back first."
"Wait a minute." Dalinzi called Song Jinxiu.
Song Jinxiu stopped and looked at the other person in confusion.
"I saw this in town and thought it looked pretty. But after I bought it, I realized I had no use for it. So I'll give it to you!"
Dalinzi stuffed a package into Song Jinxiu's hand and left without giving her any chance to refuse.
"What is it?" Song Jinxiu opened it curiously, and inside were various hair ties and flowers.
"Dalizi wouldn't have bought all the patterns in town, right?" Song Jinxiu looked at the things in her hand in surprise.
"So he has this hobby! He likes pretty hairbands. How about giving him a few Shanghai ones someday?"
Song Jinxiu packed the things. He really couldn't use them, so that was perfect. He could use them as rewards for the little girls in his class!
Song Jinxiu continued to walk home trembling, her strength increasing at first, then weakening, and finally becoming exhausted.
His righteous spirit had been consumed while he was on the bridge.
The classroom was built at the end of last year, and the village specially marked out a piece of land for it.
The new school is very large, with two rows of houses forming an L shape, one row with four classrooms and the other with five.
Two toilets were also built, separate for men and women, each with multiple squat toilets.
The other two sides are surrounded by walls, leaving only a gate. The open space in the middle is used as a playground, where children can play and cannot escape!
When class time comes and the gate is closed, the closed school begins!
This year there are two teachers, and they divided the class into two classes, a small class and a large class. They will continue to divide the class after the students in the small class have different learning styles.
There is a classroom that serves as a teacher's office, and it is filled with various learning supplies, such as chalk, pencils, notebooks, etc.
There is one small class, one large class, and a room to store sports equipment, sandbags, shuttlecocks, iron rings, etc.
There is also a utility room. The other classrooms are temporarily vacant.
The corridors on both sides are connected, so if it rains, we can also carry out activities in the empty classrooms.
The village chief has already gone to the town to apply for textbooks. Now that the schools have them, the textbooks must also keep up!
Dahua mainly teaches daily Russian conversations, as well as art and physical education.
Song Jinxiu taught Chinese, arithmetic, and science, history, and geography to the senior class.
Because there are not many people now, everyone takes the physical education class together.
Older children and younger children play separately, which can also be considered as free time.
The village chief went to the town and brought back ten copies of textbooks for grades one to five, one copy for each student, and left the books at school after school.
Because this is the first year, the grade divisions are not clear, so everyone will study according to the textbooks in the first half of the year, and in the second half of the year they can follow the grade according to their learning progress!
Dahulu Primary School was officially established.
"Teacher Song, did you have a hard life in the past?" Dahua asked Song Jinxiu during the break.
After getting along with each other, Song Jinxiu discovered that Dahua was actually a very gentle person.
She is a soft-spoken person who works very efficiently. She is very easy to get along with.
"Ah? I'm fine. Why do you say that?" Song Jinxiu asked doubtfully. Did she look like she was having a hard time?
"I see you really love to eat delicious food! My mother once said that people who are obsessed with delicious food have either been hungry before, or have always had a good life.
People who live well tend to be more particular about food, but from what I see, you don’t seem to be that particular.
Also, look at your figure, you're so skinny, and you don't look like you used to be doing well!" Dahua said seriously.
In fact, she had a guess in her mind, whether Song Jinxiu was the concubine's child!
After all, children from wealthy families must learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, which are all ways of showing off their appearance!
If you study well, you can find a good marriage and help support your family.
As for private life, it’s okay if you are favored, but if you are not favored, you may not have a good life.
Some people who live poorly may even be worse off than those from small families!
Looking at Teacher Song’s innocent look, I guess she can’t compete with others for favor!
"Well, maybe there is another type of people who simply like delicious food!" Song Jinxiu said.
"Look at what you said, who doesn't simply like delicious food!" said Dahua.
“There are many kinds of likes. For me, I think food can cure all unhappiness.
When you are sad, upset, or encounter setbacks, don’t panic, have a good meal to calm your nerves!
There's nothing that can't be solved with a good meal. If there is, then have two meals." Song Jinxiu said with a smile.
Dahua nodded, not quite understanding. Thinking about how she used to be hungry, she felt much happier now that she had a full meal.
Because the village chief couldn't find a teacher, Song Jinxiu and the other person had to take on multiple roles.
And there are many more children going to school this year.
There were even parents who wanted to send their two or three-year-old children to school, but were persuaded by Song Jinxiu.
This is an elementary school, not a kindergarten.
Four years old is already kindergarten age, and they will have to stay in first grade for two more years before moving on to second grade.
I originally wanted to say that those who can’t go to the toilet independently will not be admitted.
Later I thought about it and realized that my school was not very formal. Part of the reason for its establishment was to help take care of children.
That’s why we lowered the standard and finally set it at no more than four years old.
The four years old here refers to the age in lunar years, which actually means a child is two or three years old.
