After Mu Yi and Wen Bakong applied to the party organization for membership and were approved, they were very happy. They were both thinking about making some achievements and proving themselves to the organization.

"Wen Bakong, do you really want to apply to go to Dianxiao?" Wen Qingfeng asked Wen Bakong.

"Yeah. I've thought about it. Now there are nine teachers in the central school, with only three classes and more than 20 students. Almost one teacher teaches two or three students. This is not the main thing, the main thing is these

The student's foundation is too poor. He can't understand anything you tell him. This kind of learning is like building a house. If the foundation is not laid well, the further you go, the harder it will be to learn. Then what education is there?"

"Another thing I really can't figure out is why there are so few students? The Compulsory Education Law has been promulgated and implemented for so long. Don't the parents of these children know that it is illegal not to send their children to study?"

The more Wen Bakong talked, the more excited he became.

"Oh. You may not be very clear about this situation. Let me explain it to you." Mu Yi is a township cadre after all. Seeing that Wen Bakong had some misunderstandings about education work, he had to stand up.

"It's like this. You also know that Zhongguozhuang is the core area of ​​the Yi people in Dajing Mountain. And Zhongguozhuang is also the largest district in Xigui County. But although there are seven townships here, the total population is only one

A little over 10,000. The total population of Valado Township is only 2,032. Among them, there are 112 school-age children under the age of fourteen and over six years old; 97 children under the age of six. And the distribution of school-age children among these 112 people

Among the eight villages in the township, there are only a dozen or so people in each village on average. What’s more important is that it takes almost a day to walk to these villages that are far away. Even if the young and middle-aged fellow villagers in this village walk fast, they still have to walk without you.

It takes five or six hours to walk without even having anything to do. How do you ask a child to walk? The mountains are high and steep, the ditches are deep and the water is fast, and the roads are uneven. Like Xihe Village and Moluo Village, the villagers from these two villages still have to leave the village.

You have to take off your clothes and jump into the water to cross the river of fire. The safety of students going to and from school is not guaranteed at all."

"Where is the river of slag fire?" Wen Bakong asked puzzledly.

"The Zhahuo River is the river under the road at the door." Mu Yi answered.

"Ah! Is that the river where you and Xu Beibei fell? How could you get through such cold water? Isn't there a bridge?"

Mu Yi ignored Wen Bakong's remarks about Xu Beibei. He continued: "During the dry season, the villagers would use stones from the river to build stone piers, then cut a few wooden strips and tie them with arrow bamboo strips.

From then on, a simple "wooden bridge" was built section by section to facilitate traffic. When the rainy season came, the wooden bridge was dismantled. The stone piers were naturally washed away by the flood. Sometimes it was too late to dismantle the wooden bridge, and the wooden slats on it were

It was washed away by the flood."

"The villagers in these villages live very scattered. Basically, there are only a few families living on the top of a hill. You may be able to shout yes from the other side, but to actually walk to the other house, you have to walk for a long time."

"Oh. Then you can recommend me a more suitable one. Anyway, I have made up my mind to do something small. I just want to teach them from childhood, from bpmf, aoe, 123... to teach them.

When you reach third grade, you will be taught by the central school."

"Do you want to set an example?" Wen Qingfeng asked.

"Yeah. I just want to set an example. I want to be Varado's 'Martial Arts'."

"Who is 'Wu Xun'?" Mu Yi and Wen Qingfeng asked him at the same time.

"Wu Xun is a native of Tangyi County, Shandong Province. He was born in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. His original name was Wu Qi. He lost his father when he was 7 years old, begged for a living, and could not study. After the age of 14, he left home many times to work as a servant, and was often bullied and eaten.

Suffering from illiteracy, he decided to beg to study and became a beggar at the age of 20. It took him a full thirty years to realize his ideal. During these thirty years, he suffered a lot, but he always moved forward step by step.

Towards his goal, he finally built the first free school in the 14th year of Guangxu's reign and named it 'Chongxian Yi School'. After the school was built, he personally went to the local educated Jinshi, invited them to teach on their knees, and went to poor people's homes to kneel down.

I begged them to send their children to school. There were more than 50 students enrolled that year, divided into Mongolian classes and Economics classes. No tuition fees were charged, and the funds were disbursed from the school established by Wu Xun. Whenever the school started, Wu Xun paid homage to the teachers first and then the students. He held a banquet to entertain the teachers.

, he invites local gentlemen to accompany him, while he stands outside the door, waiting to kowtow and eat the food, and eat some leftovers after the banquet. Usually, he often comes to visit the school, and knelt down to thank the teachers who are diligent in teaching;

For the teachers who were lazy for a while, they knelt down and begged for warning; for the students who were playful and did not study seriously, they knelt down and wept and advised: "If you don't study hard, you will have no face to see your father and brothers when you go home." Inspired by Wu Xun, all teachers and students of the private school strictly observed

Follow the academic rules and work hard to make progress. Mr. Wu Xun is a great 'silent educator' and 'civilian educator'. His actions and spirit are worthy of our eternal praise."

After listening to Wu Xun's story, Mu Yi was ready to recommend Duoxicun Xiaoxiao to Wen Bakong. As soon as Wen Baikong came and went, Duoxia Village was small. He didn't need to climb mountains and ridges, climb mountains and wades, which would be harmful to his body.

Safety is a protection. There are only two groups in Erlai Duoxia, and the villagers live relatively concentrated. There are no high mountains, deep valleys and ravines in the village, so it is relatively safe for students to go to and from school. Sanlai Duoxia Village pays more attention to education than other villages.

I heard that the village also built a house specifically for Dian Xiao to accommodate the eleven or two students in the village.

"Then I suggest you go to Duoxia Village to have a small meal."

"Why Duoxia Village? Where is Duoxia Village?"

"Duoxia Village is just below Varado Village, follow the road towards Pushen Township. The natural environment of Duoxia Village is relatively safe. There are no mountains, deep valleys and ravines. It is much safer for your students to come to study.

In addition, it is safe for you to teach. Then I heard that this village pays more attention to education, and a classroom was specially built in the village to teach the children in the village. There is currently a substitute teacher teaching there. "

"Oh. Are there many students?" Wen Bakong asked with great interest.

"There are eleven or twelve students, which is not too many."

"You don't care how much they do. You teach one person, and you teach the same thing to a hundred. So what if there are fewer students. Aren't you able to concentrate more on your 'experiments'?" Wen Qingfeng said.

.

"That's right. Anyway, even in the schools below, there are only a few top students in each class. If I can train all of my eleven or twelve students to be top students, it will be a success." Wen

Baekong looked at Wen Qingfeng and Mu Yi and said with some complacency.

"Then when will we go down?"

Looking at Wen Bakong's look, he couldn't wait any longer.

"I still know the substitute teacher in Duoxia Village. He is a disabled person and his back is a bit hunched." Wen Qingfeng said unhurriedly.

"How do you know him? I don't even know him." Mu Yi said with a smile.

"You are a bureaucrat. You don't even know the substitute teachers in your hometown."

"How could I possibly know him? I'm not the deputy mayor in charge of education. I'm not covering Duoxia Village at all." Mu Yi defended himself.

"I'm kidding you. He came to see a doctor at my place, and we started chatting accidentally. I'm very grateful to the leadership of your township government."

"Why are you grateful?"

"He said that he was a disabled person and had low self-esteem. The village took good care of him and provided him with a disability certificate and some hardship subsidies. Then they saw that he still had some education and could read some words, so they arranged for him

He got a job as a substitute teacher. In this way, he still had an income from substitute fees every month, which somewhat increased the income of his family. His status at home has also been greatly improved. In addition, because he is a teacher, the villagers

I also respect him very much.”

"Then do you know where his family lives? I haven't gone to Duoxia Village yet. I can't find the road and I need a guide. Otherwise, I won't be able to take Wen Bakong to the village."

"You can report to Secretary Lamu and ask him to arrange for some cadres to take you down." Wen Qingfeng said disapprovingly.

"If you're afraid, let's forget it. It wouldn't be good to alert the secretary about such a trivial matter." Wen Bakong said quickly.

"I will tell him when he comes back from school soon and asks him to take you with him when he goes to class tomorrow. Just this matter, have you told Principal Amu?"

"said."

"Did he agree?"

"He has no objection."

"Then you still have to report it to the township leaders and get their support."

"Don't worry about this. Leave it to me." Mu Yi volunteered and went to report to the party committee and government that Wen Bakong was ready to do something small.

Mu Yi reported to Secretary Lamu, the township head of Ke, the deputy township head of Lagu and Sister Hao that Wen Bakong was going to visit Duoxia Village.

The leaders all expressed support for his idea. Secretary Lamu was a little worried that Wen Bakong would not be able to endure the hardship, and expressed doubts about how long he could stay. However, he said that he would greet the village cadres and ask them to support Wen Bakong's work.

In addition to expressing her appreciation and support, Sister Hao also expressed concern about the difficult conditions in Duoxia Village. She told Mu Yi that there was only one classroom down there and there were no extra rooms. Wen Bai had no time to go down, so he could only go on the same day.
