Chapter 5 Shen Ruobing

"Baosheng, please give it to Teacher Shen! There is not much water in the school water tank. I will go with your three uncles to see the situation of the saplings in the afternoon. We will quickly count the number of missing saplings and report them to the township. This year, the number of saplings will be enough." Come down faster!" After dinner, Gao Guoliang said to his son who was clearing the table.

"Okay, Dad, you are busy with your work!" Gao Baosheng said.

The school is located in the south of the village, about two miles away from the spring of Green Sea Lake. People in the village consciously help the teacher carry water. This habit has started since Gao Baosheng was a child.

Shen Ruobing thanked Gao Baosheng's family. She couldn't see the village chief's little thoughts. She also knew a little about Gao Baosheng. He was the only one in the village who went to high school in the county and was admitted to college. But I heard that he jumped into the lake yesterday. , but it doesn't seem to be anything strange today.

Gao Baosheng followed Shen Ruobing back to school with her. Shen Ruobing didn't say anything and neither did he. The girl obviously didn't want to have too much contact with him, but Gao Baosheng was still very grateful to be able to come to their village to teach. .

It takes more than three hours to ride a sandy road from Gaojiawan to the county seat. Not many poor city dwellers in this place can tolerate the life here. The two of them came to the school together and saw that many children in the school were still Playing. Most of the children from the three nearby villages did not go back at noon. They took cornmeal cakes and drank a few sips of water for lunch. When they saw Shen Ruobing coming back, they all said hello to her. Shen Ruobing had a smile on his face at this time. She said careful words to each child.

"Where is the bucket? I'll fetch water!" Gao Baosheng said.

Life at home is difficult. Today he was frying small fish and watching his mother hesitate to speak. Gao Baosheng wanted to find a way to improve the life at home as soon as possible. After helping out, he needed to think about how to make money. At least not every meal would consist of steamed potatoes and potatoes. Cornmeal cake!

"I... don't know. I've only been here for half a month. Last time Heiwa's father helped carry water, but he found the pole himself!" Shen Ruobing said a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'll look for it myself!" Gao Baosheng said and went to the warehouse next to Shen Ruobing's room. Shen Ruobing thought about it and finally followed him to look for it.

"I haven't carried water to the school for a long time. If the pole is not here, is it in some classroom? The school's house is too dilapidated. You can already see the blue sky from the warehouse. You have to be careful when entering here in the future. If it collapses, it will be dangerous. It’s no small matter!” Gao Baosheng said.

This warehouse and the teacher's room were built together with mud bricks. According to Gao Baosheng's memory, this mud house has a lifespan of at least ten years. In future generations, homeless people in dilapidated buildings will not live there.

"It's not bad! The roofs of the four classrooms are also leaking. After repairs, they still leak when it rains. The township is tight on funds, so we have to wait until funds for major renovations come in... Erdan, have you seen the school poles?" Shen Ruobing said. Tell Liu Xin while asking the children running and playing in the school.

"Third-grade Gao Haitao took it, teacher, I'll get it for you!" The child heard this and ran away again. Gao Baosheng saw from this child that when he was young, compared with the children of later generations, these children had less material resources. Very lacking, optimism and politeness are always in abundance.

The pole was found, and Gao Baosheng went out carrying two empty buckets. With the experience in the morning, Gao Baosheng spent two and a half hours calmly this time to fill the two water tanks in the school with water. When he saw Shen Ruo Bing was teaching the children. Gao Baosheng put the pole and bucket into the warehouse and left.

When I returned home from school, my grandma was the only one in the house pulling on the soles of my shoes. My mother and father went to Luhaikou to check the results of the newly planted saplings last year. In a few years, the township will send trucks to irrigate these saplings. The dead saplings need to be dug out and replanted. In this way, Gaojiawan has been planting trees and controlling desertification and replenishing seedlings, trying to preserve the number of trees around the village so as to prevent the village from being swallowed up by the desert.

Because Gao Baosheng is the youngest in the family, he has rarely done heavy work since he was a child. Even if the village now organizes inspections of saplings, Gao Guoliang has not let Gao Baosheng go. Carrying water for Shen Ruobing today is considered his job!

After talking to his grandma for a while, Gao Baosheng thought about how he could change the living environment at home and the entire Gaojiawan living environment.

There are no specialties in Gaojiawan, but the one that is special is the Green Sea Lake in their village. He has a [warehouse] that he can use. It is easy to make some money to support the family, but that requires leaving home, which is not something he can do now. When leaving.

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn’t have any ideas, so let’s make some money and spend it first! Gao Baosheng took some cornmeal from home and walked to Green Sea Lake again. It was noon when he arrived at Green Sea Lake, and everyone in the village went to check the saplings. There are only some half-year-old children playing by the lake. For the villagers of Gaojiawan, Green Sea Lake is all their childhood memories.

I found a good place, where the water was deeper and there seemed to be more fish. Gao Baosheng sat under the shade of a tree, grabbed a handful of cornmeal and threw it into the lake, then waited quietly. After a while, there was indeed a palm-sized fish. The fish came over, and Gao Baosheng saw that the other fish was within his catching distance, and suddenly the fish disappeared. There was no unusual noise in the lake, and he himself did not move at all.

Gao Baosheng grabbed another handful of cornmeal and threw it into the lake. More and more fish came slowly, many of which were more than a foot long, even bigger than the biggest fish he caught in the morning. Gao Baosheng concentrated on catching fish, and for a while We harvested more than 30 fish, half of which were large fish weighing more than two kilograms.

Gao Baosheng was fascinated by catching fish, but after a while, when no big fish appeared, he threw another handful of cornmeal. Behind him, the children were playing around and he saw Gao Baosheng sitting under the tree and staring at the lake, but he didn't notice anything unusual. When Gao Baosheng I found that the cornmeal I had taken had been thrown away, and the sun was already setting in the west.

There are really a lot of fish in this Green Sea Lake. In one afternoon, Gao Baosheng caught more than 200 fish, weighing more than 300 kilograms. They only occupied a small part of his [warehouse]. The fish entered his [warehouse]. Warehouse] will die instantly, but as long as it is in the warehouse, it will remain fresh when it was first put in.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gao Baosheng got up and was about to go home. At this time, his parents should also be back. He had better sell the fish to the county town tomorrow. How much can he do? He wanted to provide some financial support for his family. But as soon as Gao Baosheng got up, he felt dizzy. He knew that this might be because he was overusing his brain.

Although the size and weight of the fish are not big, it is very tiring to send a lot of things into space. Afraid that if he really falls into the lake and drowns this time, he may not have the same luck as yesterday, Gao Baosheng sat down and waited quietly. recover.

Not far away, children from the neighboring village were playing and playing on the path. They had already finished school. Looking at the dark skin and shabby clothes of the children, Gao Baosheng suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

In his previous life, he knew that life in some remote areas of China was difficult. It was not until the 2020s that this absolute poverty completely disappeared. When he was a child, he also donated clothes to children in impoverished mountainous areas. In this life, he encountered it personally. Gao Baosheng felt that he might Something should be done!

Shen Ruobing came here from the city for her children, but since she was born and raised here and has the ability to do something for her hometown, it would be too selfish for her not to do it!

Gao Baosheng has thought a lot about his future plans. Now he would like to sell the fish in the warehouse first and improve his food first. If he only eats potatoes and cornmeal cakes every meal, how can he keep up with the nutrition!

Unknowingly, the sun had begun to set, and the air was no longer so hot. Many villagers began to come to the river to fetch water. Gao Baosheng got up and was about to go home. As soon as he turned around, he saw Shen Ruobing standing behind him.

"When did Teacher Shen come? Have you had lunch?" Gao Baosheng greeted naturally, while Shen Ruobing still had no expression on his face.

"After eating, let's go back to school and stop by here to have a rest!" Shen Ruobing said.

When Gao Baosheng saw Shen Ruobing's appearance, he couldn't understand it better. In later generations' terms, it was a self-protection disorder among beauties, and they did not want to have too many interactions with too many members of the opposite sex. This was considered an instinct.

"Teacher Shen thought about the good life in the city, but it is not easy to get to this barren desert area! The children here all want to leave one day when they grow up!" Gao Baosheng said.

Such a beautiful girl must have changed in less than half a year in Gaojiawan. It is very important for Gaojiawan that Shen Ruobing can come to teach, but it is too difficult for a girl of her age! She is alone at night Living in a drafty house, she was the only one in school, and if she was unlucky, she might not even be able to escape if a sandwolf came.

"People have to do something! If I don't come here, how will the children get out of the desert." Shen Ruobing said.

Gao Baosheng smiled and said nothing. Shen Ruobing walked step by step next to Gao Baosheng and sat down more than three meters away from him. Perhaps she felt that there was something worthy of her contact with the big boy in front of her.

"Gao Baosheng, I heard that you were admitted to college this year?" Shen Ruobing asked.

"Right?" Gao Baosheng replied.

"Your Mandarin is very standard, making you sound like you are from Beijing! I am currently studying at Guangdong Normal University, and I came to Gaojiawan just for teaching internship!" Shen Ruobing said.

"You are so beautiful, wouldn't it be better to stay in the city for your internship? You came here specifically to a poor place like ours because the potatoes here are delicious and the cornmeal cakes are sweet!" Gao Baosheng still had the same tone, as if he didn't want to see Shen Ruobing stay. it's here.

Shen Ruobing was not angry at all. Her parents and friends had the same attitude as Gao Baosheng, thinking that there was no need for her to endure such hardship. However, Shen Ruobing felt that he would probably learn the most important thing in his life here. , although some experiences are painful, they will affect your life and guide your life.

"What are your plans in the future? Are you going to raise money to go to college or stay here? If you can get admitted to Qinjiang Jiaotong University, you will have no problem teaching children. Now the school only has one teacher, and each grade can only teach two classes a day. The children Half of the time is spent in self-study, and the learning efficiency is very bad if it continues like this!" Shen Ruobing said.

"The sandstorm season is over, and the village is busy with sand control and planting trees. I think when this period of work is over, I will go to the south to have a look. The great man drew a circle in the south. Nowadays, many cities are developing rapidly. The reform and opening up There are many opportunities in the trend of the times, maybe I will try to seize them!" Gao Baosheng turned his head and looked at Shen Ruobing seriously and said.

"You are very similar to my second uncle. If you want to come to the school to be a teacher, I will tell the village. The salary is not high, but it is better than nothing!" Shen Ruobing said.

"Thank you! You are here as a guest. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. Keep the doors and windows closed at night, and try not to walk alone when it gets dark. Sandwolves are very cunning." Gao Baosheng said and stood up.

The time had entered dusk unknowingly, and this was the time when wild beasts like to come out on the edge of the desert. When Shen Ruobing saw that Gao Baosheng wanted to send him off, he did not refuse, and the two of them walked towards the school step by step.

As for Gaojiawan School, it has been a mess since Gao Baosheng's memory, and it has basically remained unchanged until now.

The door is made of several wooden boards, and there are already a few pieces missing. Children can slip through the biggest gaps. The classrooms are all low-rise mud houses, and the classroom doors are covered with pudding. There is no glass on the windows, and they are all made of white paper. After pasting, most of the paper was torn by the wind.

"Before coming here, I heard that life in the villages in the southern part of the Mu Us Desert was difficult and it was difficult for the children to go to school. Only after I came here did I know how difficult it was.

I never imagined that a classroom would look like this. The classroom is leaking air everywhere, and the roof leaks everywhere when it rains. The children do not have decent tables and chairs. Even the tables and chairs with missing legs can only be used by children of four years old. Children of other ages cannot sit on them. It's a mud mound, lying on the mud mound to write!" Shen Ruobing seemed to have regarded Liu Xin as a friend, telling him about the difficulties of the children.

How to learn knowledge without hardship? Gao Baosheng also came out of this elementary school. All the houses, tables and chairs in this school were donated by others, and it is not easy to persevere. These Gao Baosheng students Shen Ruobing said all know.

Liu Xin didn't speak. He saw Shen Ruobing stopping outside the first-grade classroom, and he stopped too, listening to her quietly. The girl from the city had to endure so much alone, and she cried without breaking down. It was very good to leave. Gao Baosheng actually admired Shen Ruobing very much.

"It's hard to imagine how the children will spend their time here in winter!" Shen Ruobing sighed as she looked at the classroom around her.

Gao Baosheng could feel her kindness, and his sigh came from his heart. He wanted to say words of comfort but didn't know how to say it. Shen Ruobing, a girl from the southernmost province of China, could come to such a remote place to teach. But Gao Baosheng grew up here, but as a time traveler, he was inferior to him. For a while, Gao Baosheng felt that he had become insignificant.

"Go back and rest! Lock the door. Don't open the door if you are in danger. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me!"
