Chapter 366： Common goal

Chapter 366 Common Goal

Under normal circumstances, no parents should be willing.

Zhao Hongbing then mentioned the "accommodation" mentioned by Luo Daqing and others to answer Si Ningning's confusion.

Si Ningning nodded thoughtfully, "So that's it."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Hongbing and added: "It's not impossible, it's just that if we really have to do this, I guess it won't be that easy."

“Alas!” Zhao Hongbing sighed, “Isn’t this the reason?”

He was almost worried to death!

"Um…"

Si Ningning groaned, thinking and did not answer Zhao Hongbing. At this moment, Jiang Yue's loud voice came from outside the door. Si Ningning paused, turned to the door and shouted Jiang Yue's name:

“Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue? Can you come in for a moment?”

The chatter and laughter outside the door faded away. After a while, Jiang Yue appeared at the door, clapped her hands by her side, walked into the room and shouted "Captain" to Zhao Hongbing, then turned to look at Si Ningning, "What's up? "What's the matter?"

Si Ningning patted his side and pulled Jiang Yue to sit down. After narrating what Zhao Hongbing had just said, he said: "You are also a teacher of the literacy class. I feel that I can't tell you this, so I have to look at you." the meaning of."

Jiang Yue scratched her head, "Then teach! Teaching one is teaching, teaching ten is teaching, I have no objection, and if the children really want to live here, they should be watched by specialized people, shouldn't we two do it? Then it won’t have any impact!”

When Jiang Yue said this, Zhao Hongbing couldn't help but nod.

Although food and accommodation are a problem, it can be solved if the caretakers pay more attention and are more careful.

Si Ningning could tell by looking at their expressions that neither of them realized the specific problem.

Si Ningning had a clear mind. She thought about her words and said:

“Those are minor problems. The question now is whether the teaching quality can be well controlled as the number of students increases.”

"Another one, the new kid has a blank slate and no foundation at all. If there are only you and me without considering adding more teachers, then the schedule for this day will be very full. After all, we are not serious teachers. Half a day I can handle it, but what if it lasts for a whole day? Can it last for a month?”

“Uh…” Jiang Yue was stunned.

Jiang Yue really didn't think of the question that Si Ningning pointed out just now. Now that she heard Si Ningning say it, Jiang Yue suddenly felt that it was right.

yes!

Just attending class for half a day every day, followed by half a day of lesson preparation, grading homework, and individual tutoring for children with weak foundations is enough. If the number of people doubles, there will be no time to prepare lessons. Not to mention tired, teaching Can the quality be guaranteed?

Jiang Yue retreated in her heart and looked at Zhao Hongbing. She was about to say that we should discuss this matter later, but when she met Zhao Hongbing's nervous gaze, Jiang Yue's words suddenly changed to another sentence:

“Then, why don’t the captain think about it and expand the number of teachers?”

…”

Zhao Hongbing swallowed and fell silent.

The room also became quiet.

Jiang Yue was a little embarrassed and confused at the same time.

She hesitated for a long time, then touched Si Ningning with her thigh under the table, signaling him to speak quickly, change the topic, solve the problem, or just break the deadlock quickly.

Si Ningning patted Jiang Yue comfortingly under the table. She said nothing, but turned her eyes to Zhao Hongbing, wanting to hear Zhao Hongbing's thoughts and arrangements first.

Zhao Hongbing understood Si Ningning’s meaning and no longer concealed anything at all. He spoke frankly:

"This matter involves some sensitive factors and is not easy to handle. If the stall is smaller, if someone really comes to check in the future, there will be a way to deal with it. But if there are too many people involved and it is too formal, then..."

Zhao Hongbing did not continue.

Furthermore, several other educated youths at the Educated Youth Point were already responsible for the literacy work of adults in the production team.

This is why Luo Daqing emphasized to Zhao Hongbing before that ideological work should be done on the educated youth comrades, rather than directly increasing the number of teachers to solve the problem.

Si Ningning and Jiang Yue didn't say anything. Zhao Hongbing thought that they only wanted to increase their workload without increasing their work points, so he quickly added: "Don't worry, if this matter is really implemented, in terms of work points, the work branch will From the original six to twelve, regardless of the situation in the brigade, the production team will provide you with additional daily subsidies on a regular basis."

“Subsidy?”

Jiang Yue was a little moved, but she was too embarrassed to ask any more questions. She said "Huh" and turned her eyes to Si Ningning.

She first looked at what Si Ningning meant.

If the treatment is good, Jiang Yue doesn't care about hard work and rest time, but she always feels that her thinking is not as thorough as Si Ningning. In order to avoid digging holes for herself, as she said before, she regards Si Ningning as A benchmark for action, she would do whatever Si Ningning did.

Jiang Yue grabbed the corner of Si Ningning's sleeve under the table, and Si Ningning also understood what Jiang Yue meant.

After thinking for a while, she said calmly: "Captain, we can cooperate with the production team's deployment. If it is implemented, we will do our best to care and teach, but many things are unknown. If the children's results do not meet expectations, Will the production team, brigade, and commune be blamed?”

"followed by."

Si Ningning paused, pursed his lips and mentioned something:

"The textbooks and stationery used by the children now were all purchased and distributed by me out of my own pocket. I am not that rich. When there were few children, I could take care of them and provide them with relief. But if there are more people, then this will not be the same as mine." Individual subsidies cannot continue. This problem needs to be solved, but who will solve it?”

In an era when one's stomach is not guaranteed to be full, physical pain cannot be eliminated. For ordinary people, spiritual food is not that important.

So imagine, in this case, how many families are willing to tighten their belts and spend more money?

Si Ningning’s question hit the nail on the head, and Zhao Hongbing realized this at the same time.

Zhao Hongbing used to only pay attention to the changes in the children. As for pencils and notebooks, he now realized that Si Ningning paid for them.

For a moment, I had mixed feelings, including gratitude, shame, and even more shame.

Zhao Hongbing wiped his face and made a promise:

"That's not possible. I will report this to the team leader. The families of those children must find a solution. I certainly can't let you work so hard. Not only do you not get a few work points, but you also have to spend money."

We all look forward to a good future and want our children to get ahead, so how can we do nothing?

The conditions for studying have been created with great efforts. As an adult or a parent, how can you expect others to fail?

Is that possible?

If that were the case, there would be no need to send the child. Si Ningning nodded, "If that's the case, I have no objection."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue nodded in agreement: "Captain, I don't have any objections either."

Zhao Hongbing's heart felt heavy, but at the same time he took a breath again. He nodded and stood up and said, "Then let's do this for today. I'll go back and talk to the captain to see how to make further arrangements. I'll give you news then."

“The captain of the line.”

Si Ningning and Jiang Yue stood up to see each other off. Seeing Zhao Hongbing walking away without taking the ration bag on the table, Si Ningning quickly picked up the bag and followed two steps, "Captain, captain! There are still things left behind!"

Zhao Hongbing turned around and saw the ration bag handed over by Si Ningning.

He was startled, then took a few small but heavy ration bags and looked up at Si Ningning's clean and clear eyebrows.

Zhao Hongbing stood there for a long time, then suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Those children are lucky to have a teacher like you."

Si Ningning was stunned. She didn't expect Zhao Hongbing to say that. Just when he was about to respond, Zhao Hongbing sighed again: "Alang is lucky to meet such a good girl like you."

Si Ningning swallowed the words that came to her lips, pursed her lips, and then opened them.

Zhao Hongbing turned around and walked out. She stood at the door and looked at him. This time she did not call Zhao Hongbing "captain" unfamiliarly, but said: "Uncle, walk slowly."

Zhao Hongbing waved his hand and walked around the corner of the educated youth spot without looking back.

With nothing to place your hopes on, nothing to look forward to, you will receive unexpected joy.

If you want to get more things, most of them will end up disappointed.

"well…"

Si Ningning sighed softly.

Her power is very small. She may be able to change the fate of some children, but she cannot change the general trend of world time.

The world is like an endless sea, and they are just a drop of water or a grain of sand in the sea. They cannot make a big contribution, they just want to have a clear conscience.

Si Ningning will try her best to do better, but she does not want Zhao Hongbing and others to place all their hopes on her and Jiang Yue.

Si Ningning was still in a daze when her lower back was suddenly poked by Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue stood beside her and asked: "Did you buy those notebooks? I thought it was a subsidy given by the team. There are so many...how much does it cost?"

Jiang Yue felt distressed about the money, but also felt puzzled.

Si Ningning smiled. She didn't want to explain anything, and she didn't bother to explain. She shrugged as if she was mocking herself and said briskly: "Who knows? Maybe I am the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva?"

Jiang Yue hissed and looked around nervously. After a while, she pushed Si Ningning and said, "That's nonsense. Don't say that next time!"

It is not good for others to hear this.

Si Ningning smiled helplessly, turned around and entered the room: "Okay, before the exact news is confirmed, hurry up and get ready. Pack up all the lesson preparation materials that you have used before, and take a look at it when you have time."

Jiang Yue had a bitter look on her face and followed her into the room. After a while, her nervous voice came from the room:

"It's over. When I was packing it up two days ago, I thought there were too many things, so I rolled them all up and put them together! I don't know if they were messed up or not?"

Time passed quickly, and Zhao Hongbing quickly brought back the news that the brigade had decided to expand the literacy class. The brigade was responsible for necessary expenses such as doors and windows, and the labor was provided by several other production teams.

During the construction period, the three teams of literacy classes held classes as usual.

At the same time, some things have been implemented during this period, such as learning supplies. The commune will allocate part of the money, and the children’s parents will be responsible for the rest.

In addition to bringing this news, Zhao Hongbing also brought two yuan to make up for the gap that Si Ningning had left to buy pens and notebooks for the children.

The other part is a reward for Si Ningning, who traveled all the way from Beijing to bring extracurricular supplementary books to expand the children's horizons.

Zhao Hongbing took a business-like approach to this matter, so Si Ningning did not refuse. She accepted the two yuan and planned to find other ways to enrich the classroom or extracurricular activities.

Increase fun, make children like going to school and classes, reduce resistance, and often get twice the result with half the effort in learning and absorbing knowledge.

All parties are trying their best to move towards the same goal. Life may be mediocre and boring, but it is also meaningful.

The project to expand the literacy class started in early May and was completed in mid-May.

There is also a "dormitory" built at the back. The location is next to the literacy class. Zhao Hongbing led people to cut down all the trees in that area and dig out the tree roots and wooden stakes. The finished product is actually two dormitories. It is an ordinary adobe house with a fairly spacious space. The bed is made of hollow adobe bricks and is smoothed. It is cool in the summer, and you will not feel cold even if you put a quilt on it in the winter.

The most important thing is that because only half-year-old children live there, it saves space and can accommodate more people.

A simple shed and stove were set up in a corner outside the dormitory. Except for the pots that had not yet been installed, some large urns for storing water were already prepared.

And because the literacy class was originally not far from the educated youth center, the dormitories were built closer to the educated youth center. In this way, water and other things could be supplied from the wells there.

It is convenient for the children to go to and from get out of class, and there are people around them who can help and look after them to some extent.

Of course this is just incidental. The person who is really responsible for taking care of the children, Zhao Hongbing, has been silently observing and weighing, thinking about which ones to arrange.

After statistics, the other three teams gathered a total of twenty-three children, including six girls and seventeen boys, ranging in age from seven to twelve years old.

Zhao Hongbing thought about it for a while. Before these children were sent here, they had already passed the inspection in the team. For example, how many times a day did the security team patrol, and what time was the last time.

For example, after talking to the educated youth, Xu Shuhua was asked to cook for the children, and Song Shuhan and Li Lingyuan were arranged to take turns working in the boys' dormitory of the literacy class.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it means that you go there with your bedding, sleep in the big bunk with the children at night, and keep a close eye on them to ensure safety, and to prevent older children from bullying younger children as much as possible.

The girl's room was occupied by two young girls on the team, Jinzhi and Osmanthus, who had previously learned the technology of cultivating bacteria from Si Ningning.

There were few girls, and relatively speaking, there were mostly children. The two girls went there with a companion, and they not only kept an eye on the children's safety, but were also responsible for taking care of them.
