Chapter 331 You guys go ahead and do your work, just pretend I’m not here
On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Cheng Xuyuan received a sample copy of October from Fang Yuqing.
Along with the sample book, there was also a letter full of longing.
Although Fang Yuqing talked about her own life most of the time in this letter, Cheng Xuyuan could feel the longing in the letter.
There is also a copy of the new magazine "October" on Cheng Xuyuan's desk.
This was brought to Li Junli from Xinhua Bookstore when he went to the county town to buy New Year's goods.
According to Li Junli, he waited in line for a long time before he was able to buy two books, one of which he gave to Cheng Xuyuan and the other he kept for himself.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan read Fang Yuqing's letter again, Cheng Ruomiao ran over quickly.
Wearing the new clothes her brother bought from Yanjing, Cheng Ruomiao was happy for several days.
She felt that she had had a really good year.
Not only did her brother bring a large piece of cloth to make clothes for the family, but he also bought her a set of fashionable clothes.
That’s not all, her future sister-in-law also bought her a beautiful schoolbag.
Also, when my brother came, he brought a lot of delicious food.
"Brother, what are you doing in the house? The production team is going to slaughter pigs. Let's go and take a look." Cheng Ruomiao begged excitedly.
For Chengjiazhuang, slaughtering the New Year pig during the Spring Festival is a big event.
After all, whether everyone can get two pounds of meat for the New Year depends mainly on the New Year pig.
However, Cheng Xuyuan didn't care much about such things.
He waved his hand and said, "Miao Miao, instead of running to read this, you might as well read more books."
"After a while, I will discuss with my uncle and send you to school in the county."
Facing her brother's serious look, Cheng Ruomiao was somewhat unwilling in her heart, but she still listened obediently.
After all, the clothes I wore and the delicious snacks I ate were all brought by my brother.
And everyone says that my brother will become a great person in the future.
Even my third uncle said that my brother's name was reported in the daily newspaper.
"Okay, I will study hard after the New Year." Cheng Ruomiao said reluctantly.
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was about to continue his lecture, someone asked, "Is Teacher Cheng home?"
When Cheng Xuyuan walked out of the room, he saw Li Junli coming over with four or five educated youths.
They all held books in their hands.
Cheng Xuyuan invited several people into the room and said with a smile: "Junli, when are you going to go home?"
Li Junli's home is in the provincial capital, more than 200 kilometers away. Although it doesn't sound too far, it takes a whole day to get there by car.
What's more, now is the time when many people go home to celebrate the New Year.
"Teacher Cheng, I'm not going home this year." Li Junli said this, pointing to the people around him and said, "None of us are going back."
"Not only is it too troublesome to go back, but it will take at least a week."
"You'll probably be gone in two weeks."
"Instead of going home, we might as well stay with you and ask you more questions!"
Li Junli's words immediately resonated strongly with the girl.
She said excitedly: "Teacher Cheng, I feel that I have made great progress after asking you for advice these days."
"Some math problems that were not so clear to me now have some ideas."
"I really hope you can stay a few days longer."
Looking at those young people whose eyes were full of hope, Cheng Xuyuan felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
The cram school he is attending now can no longer be called a class, because every time he goes to class, the number of students attending the class has reached more than 200.
However, this also brought problems to Cheng Xuyuan, that is, these people have different foundations, so the things they need to teach are also different.
Cheng Xuyuan was overwhelmed and was unable to handle these matters.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I'll try to stay a few more days."
"But for this exam, my cramming over the past few days won't be very helpful. The most important thing is to rely on everyone's own efforts."
"I have already prepared the test paper for this afternoon. Please write it on the blackboard later. We will start discussing the questions in the evening."
Li Junli was more than happy to have Cheng Xuyuan arrange this matter.
He smiled and said, "Teacher Cheng, please leave this matter to me. I promise to get it done."
"By the way, you don't have to worry about marking the papers anymore."
"We contacted several friends who had been admitted to universities and were back for the winter break. They were willing to help correct the papers and compile the wrong questions."
"With their help, you won't have to be so busy in the future."
After hearing what Li Junli said, Cheng Xuyuan felt relieved.
To be honest, it was a bit too much for him to teach more than 200 students alone.
It’s great to have someone to help us now.
"This is a great thing." Cheng Xuyuan said, "How about this, we can't let them work in vain when they come. Junli, go buy some meat later and have dinner with you."
Having said that, Cheng Xuyuan took out twenty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Li Junli.
Li Junli quickly waved his hand and said, "Teacher Cheng, this is our own business. We can't spend your money."
“We have money.”
Several other young people followed suit and said, “Teacher Cheng, we can’t spend your money.”
“We have money!”
Cheng Xuyuan's face darkened and he said, "Military strength, I know you have money."
"But do you and I have money?"
"If you want to keep this class going, then listen to me."
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan stood up and said, "It's the food problem..."
He walked back and forth for a few steps and said, "I'll go to the commune and see what to do about this."
As for food, the villagers ate their own food according to the allocation from the production team, and Li Junli and others also had a limited amount of food rations.
Seeing that Cheng Xuyuan was still worrying about this problem, Li Junli hurriedly said, "Teacher Cheng, you don't have to bother with the food issue."
"I will tell the students coming to class later to bring a bowl of food each. That will be enough for the students who come to help."
"After all, they are doing this for us, and we can't let them work in vain."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Li Junli, who was sincere, and smiled, "Junli, I know that this is something that everyone can do."
"But let me go to the commune."
"See if you can get two bags of noodles for our cram school. If you can, it will be enough for us."
Li Junli wanted to say something, but facing Cheng Xuyuan's solemn expression, he finally said, "Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Cheng."
Cheng Xuyuan did what he said. He took a look at the sky and rode his bicycle towards Liguotun Commune.
Watching Cheng Xuyuan leave, a girl sighed: "Teacher Cheng is such a good person, he is just trying not to add burden to us!"
A male educated youth next to her said, "Yeah, I don't know if Teacher Cheng can get the job done if he goes there."
Li Junli said: "It should be possible. You don't know that many people came to visit Teacher Cheng in the past few days since he came back."
"Let's not just sit here idle."
"Old Lu, go finish the test paper that Teacher Cheng gave you."
"I'm going to buy some meat and vegetables so that the students who come to help can have a hot meal."
"Xiao Mo, go and arrange a place to live!"
…
In the afternoon, under the shining winter sun, Cheng Xuyuan rode his bicycle back to Chengjia Village carrying two bags of Fuqiang flour.
The reason why it took so long was that people were too enthusiastic and didn't let him leave.
Fortunately, Cheng Xuyuan said that he would give lectures to more than 200 educated youth after returning, so he did not drink. The two bags of Fuqiang powder were specially given to support Cheng Xuyuan's teaching.
Although the 28-inch bicycle was quite capable of carrying a lot of things, two bags of flour were still a lot, so when he returned to the village, he was already sweating profusely.
Cheng Xuyuan did not send the two bags of noodles home, but directly to the elementary school.
The school is extremely lively during the holidays, and many educated youth gather here to study.
Almost every classroom is filled with young people concentrating on their studies.
Cheng Xuyuan stopped the car outside the teacher's office and asked a student to find Li Junli. After pedaling all the way, he was thirsty and picked up the thermos in the office directly.
There was water in the thermos, but Cheng Xuyuan found that his cup was not in the office.
Only then did I suddenly remember that I took the enamel pot home yesterday.
Feeling helpless, he quickly looked for something in the house that could hold water, but found nothing.
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was thinking about whether to go home to drink water, he heard someone say, "Cheng Xuyuan, are you looking for a water cup?"
Hearing these familiar words, Cheng Xuyuan turned his head and saw Feng Xiaoxia, who was wearing a red coat, looking at him with a smile.
"Feng Xiaoxia, why are you here?" Cheng Xuyuan asked a little surprised.
Feng Xiaoxia said: "A few friends came to me and told me that you were short of help in running the school and asked me to help out for a while, so I came."
"By the way, Wu Xiaoli is here too."
In one breath, Feng Xiaoxia mentioned three or four names, all of whom came to help.
Looking at the smiling Feng Xiaoxia, Cheng Xuyuan felt more relaxed.
He knew the levels of these people, and with their help, things would be a lot easier for him.
"That's great. Now that you're here, I can solve my big problem."
Feng Xiaoxia looked at Cheng Xuyuan who was holding the thermos and had not put it down yet. After hesitating for a moment, she walked to a canvas bag on the table and took out an enamel pot from it.
"Use this to drink water first."
Cheng Xuyuan was so thirsty that he felt uncomfortable. Moreover, at this time, he could not refuse, so he poured the water in the thermos directly into the cup.
After tasting the water and finding that it was about the right temperature, Cheng Xuyuan gulped down the water.
"Xiaoxia, I took a look. We live in..." When Wu Xiaoli walked into the door, she saw Cheng Xuyuan drinking water.
She had been with her good friend Feng Xiaoxia these days, so she naturally knew who the enamel pot in Cheng Xuyuan's hand belonged to.
After being stunned for a moment, she quickly explained: "You guys go ahead and do your work, just pretend I'm not here."
As he spoke, he walked out.
Looking at Wu Xiaoli who turned and left, Cheng Xuyuan felt that he was a little confused.
