He's afraid.
That bad experience, I'm afraid, has left a deep wound in his heart, so that the child, unconsciously, has a fear of the people who come close to him.
Aware of this, Tang wanwan slightly put away the impulse of her heart. She lowered her tone, pulled her muscles, gave a smile, and then stopped at the place one meter away from little Arnold.
"The teacher asked you a question, if you can bravely and loudly answer the teacher, the teacher will give you a piece of candy, how about it?"
Still scared, shivering.
But seeing the candy Tang wanwan took out of his hand, the child's eyes lit up again.
He wants it.
"What's your name?"
Tang wanwan asked.
But even if it was just such a simple question, little Arnold still did not dare to answer.
It's like a monster with candy, not a gentle and amiable teacher, but a monster that will tear him to pieces and swallow him.
"After answering the teacher, you can get the candy."
With that, Tang wanwan sent the candy to Arnold again.
By this time, other children were already answering for him.
"Teacher, his name is Arnold!"
After hearing the speech, Tang wanwan looked up and looked in the direction of the talking child. He gave an encouraging smile and then lost a piece of candy.
All of a sudden, there are more children, followed by the answer, "teacher, his name is Arnold!"
Tang wanwan beckons Allen to come and help distribute candy to the children who have answered the questions.
But oneself, is turns the vision to the young Arnold.
"Look, it's very simple. You just need to introduce yourself to the teacher, tell him your name, and the teacher will give you candy." |
seeing that other students have easily got the candy, little Arnold's eyes are even more anxious, looking at the candy, even unable to stop swallowing.
In the end, I couldn't help but speak in a very low voice.
"Arnold."
This is progress.
Tang wanwan quickly encouraged, "great! But I wish I could speak a little louder. "
Said, put a candy in front of little Arnold.
"If you can speak a little louder, the teacher will give you another candy."
At first, the child didn't dare to reach for the candy. When he heard Tang wanwan's words, his eyes lit up. He reached for the candy and held it in the palm of his hand. When he looked up again, there was not so much fear in his eyes.
"Arnold, my name is Arnold."
The voice is much louder than before.
"Great
Tang wanwan smiles at the child, then puts the candy in front of Arnold, and then turns around.
He has made great progress, which is enough. Anyway, there is still a lot of time. She can help the child out of the shadow left by her childhood.
……
When Mingkun came, it was two hours later.
Seeing Tang wanwan's embarrassment, he was stunned. After a few words with Allen, he left quickly with Tang wanwan.
If he hadn't mentioned it, Tang would have forgotten about falling into the stinky ditch.
"Mingkun, I find their teaching here is very chaotic. There is only one teacher, Alan. There is no textbook, let alone any syllabus. There is no lesson preparation. Class is arranged according to the teacher's memory. Sometimes, Alan doesn't know where he is talking. How can children learn this teaching method well?"
The scenes that she saw in the classroom were constantly pounding in Tang wanwan's mind. The sympathy for the children's bad situation had turned into the power boiling in her blood at the moment. She wished she could immediately find a way to help the poor children.
"I know. We'll discuss this in detail when we have a meeting. Now, you can go to Professor Robert's clinic with me first."
Mingkun doesn't seem to want to discuss this topic with her. He looks at Tang wanwan's dried up mud and says, "clean up and disinfect it. Don't forget, there's just been an outbreak of cholera here. "
If he didn't say it, Tang almost forgot it.
……
Almost no stay. As soon as they came out of the slum, they went straight to Professor Robert's clinic.
It's said that Tang wanwan has joined the volunteer group. Professor Robert is very happy. He helps Tang wanwan inject antibodies and tells Tang wanwan about his help in the slums over the years.
It was only at this time that Tang wanwan realized that the reason why Professor Robert chose to live in seclusion in the slum and provide free medical services to the suffering people there was that ten years ago, because of his negligence, he caused a fire and burned a patient from the slum.Strictly speaking, the responsibility for this incident does not lie entirely with Professor Robert. However, as a doctor, he can not accept it. The patient's death is in his own hands, which has become a knot in his heart.
He has lived for most of his life. In his hands, he has saved the Marquis, the senior manager, and the poor people. Only those who suffer in the slums He not only failed to rescue them from the disease, but also accidentally injured one of them.
With this knot, he made the decision to join the free clinic.
Without a few words of conversation, a patient came to the door. Professor Robert was busy with the treatment, while Mingkun was helping.
Tang wanwan also got up in a hurry and stood aside to learn.
The visitor was a 30-year-old woman with a long cut on her hand. She didn't do anything at all. When she came, the blood was still pouring out.
While hemostasis, while asking, only to know that the original woman was robbed, fighting, but things were robbed, do not say, the arm was also injured.
Mingkun explained to her with laughter that such things are too common in slums.
Poverty and hunger can devour human nature. Sometimes, for a cake of oil, they can fight for their lives.
Tang wanwan believed in this. Sympathy for women at the same time, but also can not help but heartache a little Arnold.
In this way, until the woman's wound is handled, it is time for dinner unconsciously.
After a busy day, Professor Robert was tired and didn't want to go out. Tang went to the restaurant to pack the food, brought it back, had dinner with Mingkun in Professor Robert's clinic, and then left.
During the meal, it seems that Mingkun asked Professor Robert about the elder Abel. He said that his family was not in good health, so he rushed back in a hurry and failed to attend the celebration party.
Mingkun said with regret, and patted Tang wanwan on the shoulder to reassure her that there are still many opportunities to see Abel in the future.
Tang wanwan nodded on the surface, but he didn't put much thought into it. All his energy in his mind was thinking about how to help the poor children in the slums better and more effectively.
