The climate in the southwestern border area is quite unbearable in winter.
The humidity is heavy, and whenever the temperature drops, the humidity turns into cold air and penetrates the body. Ordinary warm clothing can't block it at all, and there is no heating equipment such as air conditioning in the school on the mountain.
After winter, Tang Miao bought heaters for every classroom in the school. The school has six grades, and each grade has just two classes. There are a total of twelve heaters. Even if some of them are bought, they are still for display. On the one hand, they are willing to pay for electricity, and on the other hand, the school's power supply facilities are aging.
In fact, except for Tang Miao, the teachers and students in the school have already adapted to this kind of climate all year round. In the whole school, Tang Miao is the one who is most afraid of the cold.
So even if the school classrooms are open, music classes must be open in the music classroom. The heater was on all winter, and the two music classes per week were the happiest time for students. The music classroom was warm, the teacher was gentle, and there was a piano that I had never seen before.
Every child's hands are rough and cracked, but every child can touch the ivory-smooth keys.
Tang Miao suddenly found the school's teacher. For the children in the school, the teacher's appearance was like an angel. Not only did he look gentle and clean, but he also donated a piano to the school. Originally, the music class in the school was just casual, part of the self-study during the break, and occasionally when they were in the mood, the principal would teach them to sing the national anthem.
They will teach some music knowledge and how to play the piano. After a winter, the children have almost mastered the piano keys. Tang Miao also purchased some electronic keyboards for students to practice.
For the children in the mountainous areas, pianos are only played on the radio, and they play beautiful music one after another. It is a luxury to be able to see the piano being played, but it is a luxury to be able to learn, touch the keys with your own hands, and practice playing the beautiful piano music that can only be heard on the radio.
There are more than a hundred students in the school, and they all like piano. But there are always a few who are talented and love to learn. If they like it, Tang Miao will give them individual tutoring after school. After a while, he will even take the children to the city to take the exam.
Nowadays, information is developed, and it is the same as before. Although parents in mountainous areas say that it is more important for children to learn knowledge. But after knowing that Tang Miao had no money to study, and learned piano and became a piano teacher, the parents also thought that Tang Miao's life was also a way for their children, so they did not oppose it so much, and even supported and thanked Tang Miao.
After Tang Miao arrived at the school, he became the school's music teacher. He taught more than 100 students in the school, and knew all their parents, and also got to know most of the children. The students liked the piano teacher, and even the parents of the students knew about the school. When they had something at home, they would let their children bring it.
There was no house in Tangmiaoli. But after arriving, the principal arranged a dormitory for me.
The school was built with donations from the boss of a certain group. The teaching building is three stories high, and there are some basic sports facilities in the yard, such as basketball hoops and table tennis tables. They are simple but sufficient.
The school dormitory is located near the basketball hoop, and consists of several single rooms. In addition to the principal Tang Miao and the music teacher, there are three other teachers in the school.
The principal and three teachers were all from nearby villages and had already started families. They basically lived in the dormitory. So in the whole row of houses, Tang Miao was the only one who actually lived there for a long time.
Tang Miao's dormitory was a room of more than ten square meters, with iron bunk beds. The living surface was flat, and some luggage was placed on the other side.
In fact, when Tang Miao was the pawnshop owner, he had nothing and bought all the things in the house by himself, such as the desk beside the bed, the curtains for the desk, and the desk lamp.
The room was well-equipped, but also simple and clean, looking the same. In addition to my own things, some other things given by other students were also piled up in the corner of the dormitory.
Tang Miaoping basically lives in the school and cooks his own meals. The conditions there are difficult, and cooking is not complicated. The room at the edge of the dormitory, next to the school gate, is the school kitchen, where Tang Miaoping cooks his meals.
Although he lives alone, Tang Miao is still lonely.
The school has classes every day, and I stay in school on weekends when I don’t have classes. Some students who live nearby will come to me on weekends.
It was basically for study, and the master also took Tang Miao out to play.
There are many children in the village, and in addition to those who study, they also take care of the children. The school yard is the biggest playground, where they play shuttlecock, sandbags, marbles, and even hide-and-seek with wood.
The school is filled with the sound of reading during weekdays and laughter on weekends. Tang Miao and other children play together and have fun whenever they can.
In addition to playing at school, the children will also be taken to the mountains to play.
After entering April, the temperature in the southwest warmed up and the rain began to increase. A few bamboo shoots and mushrooms sprouted in the mountains, and the children were arranged to work on weekends, picking mushrooms and cutting bamboo shoots. They also made some to sell.
Tang Miao followed, chatting and laughing, walking through the mountains and streams, stepping on the moist soil, going deep into the heart of the mountains and forests, picking some delicacies that had never been picked before.
Children sell for food and also for fun.
After entering April, Tang Miao was busy every weekend. In just a few weeks, he strolled around many places nearby.
The mountains in the southwest are very high and deep. If Tang Miao hadn't brought the children with him, he would have gone back by himself. These children have been walking in the mountains with their parents since childhood and are very familiar with the place.
Even so, when climbing the mountain, they still travel in groups, and there may still be situations where they walk together.
It rained all night in the mountains last night, and the soil was soft and muddy. Tang Miao was wearing boots, and his boots were covered in mud. Because of the rain, the streams in the mountains also swelled, and Tang Miao waded through the water with his boots on, and his boots were almost washed.
The principal's office is also in the teaching building, on the first floor. After Tang Miao climbed three flights of stairs, he immediately reached the door of the principal's office. As he approached the principal's office, Tang Miao's steps slowed down slightly.
"I'm from out of town too, and I'll live in the dormitory. I just came here today, and we'll help clean up a dormitory for Teacher He later."
It is full of vitality, and has changed from its original emerald green to a deep dark green.
After saying this, Tang Miao looked up and found that there was a black SUV parked on the side of the road far away from the school.
It's cold now, but there are more mosquitoes in the mountains, so Tang Miao always wraps himself tightly every time he goes into the mountains.
Tang Miao said goodbye to the child and said something to the student.
The principal of the school is from the same village. The principal will remind us that the road is easy to walk and we will be afraid of being late for the flag-raising ceremony the next day.
Here, besides classes, climbing mountains, and playing games, the children also like to stare at the mountains in a daze.
After being photographed by Tang Miao, the children dispersed with smiles on their faces.
Being buried in such a place, it seemed as if the troubles in my mind also disappeared along with the deep mountains.
At that time, the principal was still introducing the school's situation, talking about how many teachers there were in the school, how many teachers lived in the school dormitory, and Teacher Tang, the music teacher who taught piano in the past.
The school weekends were very relaxed. When Tang Miao got up early in the morning, she was called by several students from the village to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms. Tang Miao wore long sleeves and long pants, tied her hair up and put on a hat.
While introducing the situation, the principal also looked towards the classroom door. Seeing Tang Miao standing at the door, pausing to look at the new teacher, he smiled.
The mud on the boots was washed away, but the mud on the clothes was still to be washed. Although Tang Miao had climbed a long distance, he was still as flexible as a child. In addition, the mountain was muddy after the rain, and his legs and even his body were more or less covered with mud.
"Oh, it's the teacher Tang I just mentioned, Tang Miao, who is in charge of the school's music class."
In the principal's office, those who were originally standing at the angle of seeing at the school gate also turned around and looked.
At this moment, his behavior was completely controlled by his consciousness. While slowing down his pace, he raised his head and looked towards the principal's office.
After introducing Tang Miao, the principal looked at Tang Miao again and introduced the new teacher to Tang Miao: "Teacher Tang, your name is He Xiao. Like him, he is also a volunteer teacher in our school. He teaches mathematics."
Now, after seeing the car, Tang Miao looked up and saw the principal standing by the window in the principal's office, seemingly talking to someone.
Tang Miao looked at the sharp eyebrows and the lost long hair, and stopped on the steps at the entrance of the principal's office.
He was very tall, with a straight and upright figure, just standing there. His body still had the freshness and vitality that a mountain brings.
You should go for a picnic, walk a few miles, and ask for directions.
A mushroom picking lasted from morning to noon. In the afternoon, Tang Miao also picked a bamboo basket of mushrooms. The children should go home for dinner, so the group left the mountain.
For example, all the vegetation and animals here seem to be natural and have not been polluted by any modern society. The mist lingering in the mountains feels very spiritual.
Look, the principal seemed to notice and turned around to look. Tang Miao was covered in mud and wearing a hat, so he didn't recognize him at first. The principal took another closer look, then smiled and said something in the principal's office. After that, the principal waved at Tang Miao.
"At school."
Tang Miao was holding a bamboo basket, listening to the principal's call, and responded, "Okay."
The man was wearing simple sportswear, with the collar of his jacket pulled up to his throat. He was thinner than before, with sharper and more defined features, a square Adam's apple, and the zipper of his jacket swayed slightly.
The school is built on a high ground, which is easily accessible by car, and generally things are delivered there only.
The children dispersed, Tang Miao stood up and walked into the school, first putting a bamboo basket of mushrooms at the door of the dormitory. Then, he looked at his boots and muddy clothes, and was afraid that the other party would wait for a long time, so he just left.
After Tang Miao went to school, he rarely saw the car. He only saw it a few times. He also gave her a piano and a heater. He took a look at the SUV and it seemed to be a private vehicle.
The soil was damp and smelled of moss. Tang Miao walked along with a basket of mushrooms in his hand. When he reached the school gate, several students said goodbye to him.
After Tang Miao finished speaking, several students around him were curious and were about to leave. Tang Miao patted their heads and told them to hurry back to eat, otherwise their families would be worried.
