C171 The purpose of my visit

On a day in the beginning of March, Du Ruiqi brought Ma Mingqiao and to Peace Town High School.

Hearing that the Dushuji and the Mayor Ma were coming to inspect the work, the principal of the school, Zhang Lin, was stunned for a while. At the entrance of the school hung a large banner: Warmly welcome the town's leaders to our school!

Every corner of the campus was swept clean, without a single leaf to be seen. Du Ruiqi and her group were welcomed with the most grand ceremony in the village secondary school.

Principal Zhang Lin and Vice Principal's dean both came to the main entrance to greet them.

Peace Town High School was located on a stone mountain, which was also built according to the terrain. It was surrounded by houses, and in the middle was an irregular grassland, not too big. The first floor had to climb more than three meters of stairs to reach it. On the front of the building were four evergreen cedar trees, which were already very tall. It could be considered the most beautiful scenery on the campus.

As Du Ruiqi walked into the campus, a sense of déjà vu greeted him. Although this was the first time she had entered this place, it seemed to her that she had traveled here many times in her subconscious, especially the four cedar trees in front of the school building, which were so vividly engraved in her mind.

A place she had never personally experienced, yet she had such a beautiful memory. This was because there was a name that could not be erased from her memory: Zhu Qingyun.

This was Zhu Qingyun's alma mater, the reason why Zhu Qingyun had struggled so hard to become a teacher in the Xinjiang.

Zhu Qingyun had mentioned the four cedars in front of the school building to her many times. With Zhu Qingyun's memory, this was also the most beautiful scene in this simple and crude campus. He had said that one day he would take her and their children back to campus and look at the alma mater, especially the cedars. She still remembered that Zhu Qingyun had told her that it was very stressful for his to return to campus after dropping out of school. He was older than his classmates, but his results were the worst. At that time, his mood was extremely depressed! When he was at his most depressed, he once again thought of giving up and even thought of jumping down from upstairs. If he didn't learn well, then he really wouldn't have the face to see his parents or family. Just the saliva of the villagers would drown him … Then, one time when it was snowing, he stood upstairs and looked down at the cedar trees. The snow was drifting down, and the other trees were withered, except for these four cedars, which stood green in the snow. The more snow fell, the more beautiful and dignified they seemed … At that time, his heart was already shocked! He felt a kind of power that stimulated him internally. He said that he wanted to be a cedar in the snow, standing tall in the cold and standing straight in the snow! He wanted to defeat himself, overcome the inferiority complex before him, and from then on stand proudly on the campus, just like these four cedars …

Yes, like these four cedars! What a powerful language, what a strong will! Even though it had been many years, he could still hear it clearly … Looking at the cedar in front of his eyes, Du Ruiqi suddenly felt an indescribable sadness in his heart. The cedar is still, no, it should be taller and bigger, more dignified and powerful, but it was impossible for her and him to bring their child to witness the school he once struggled for, to relive his memories of these four cedars … Time was the most merciless way to push back. All the memories of the past would subside or even disappear …

"Dushuji, let's go up and take a look!" Seeing Du Ruiqi always looking up at the main building, Principal Zhang thought she wanted to go up and take a look.

"Oh, good!" Du Ruiqi returned from her memories and walked up the stairs under the guidance of the principal.

There were many scholars in the classroom. A student was reading an ancient poem: "An operator?" Wu Mei.

The rain and wind sent the spring to return, and the snow welcomed the spring.

It was already a thousand feet of ice on the precipice, and there were even beautiful flowers and branches.

Charming also does not compete for spring, only spring to report.

She was laughing in the bushes when the flowers began to bloom.

A poem by a great man, grand and majestic, with Lu You's original theme, but with a completely opposite mood, writing out the plum blossom's beauty, vigor, and integrity, not worry but laughter …

This was also one of Du Ruiqi's favorite poems. The cedar before her eyes was the same as the cedar painted by a great man. What she admired was her character, her integrity, her enthusiasm, and her beauty.

Zhu Qingyun's story from before was the resonance of their souls. She had loved him so passionately because of his strength and perseverance, his optimism and drive, his perseverance not to bow to fate …

He wondered if he was still the same as before …

The principal kept talking in her ear. She smiled and nodded. However, she didn't take in a word he said. In this campus, in her eyes, there were only the four cedar trees. Incantation of the Plum.

Even though they had been separated for so many years, even though she rarely saw him, even though she had already achieved something, being the object of many people's envy, even though she had experienced a few men in her life, in her heart, there was only one person she wished for the most, and that was him, because that was her first love, her most pure and flawless love …

The campus visit had ended, and they had arrived at the office. Du Ruiqi's mood had finally escaped the entanglement of the cedar trees, and returned to the reality before him. She couldn't forget her purpose in coming here today.

After hearing the Principal's report, Du Ruiqi smiled and said, "Principal Zhang, before I came to Peace Town, I knew that Peace Town High School was the best high school in the entire county for teaching. Back then, when I was studying in Xinjiang, Peace Town had the most students. At that time, getting into a normal teacher was twenty points higher than a high school. Being able to do so was not an easy feat. After listening to Principal Zhang's introduction just now, I understood the reason behind this. Under the condition that the hardware was equal, the reason why Peace Town High School was able to produce such results was because we had a good principal. This is because a good principal is a good school, then there are so many excellent and professional teachers in our Peace Town High School, this is the fortune of the people of Peace Town, the fortune of the children of Peace Town! "

"Thank you Dushuji for affirming our work, all the administrators of our school are here, thank you very much Dushuji! We must work harder and do better teaching! " Principal Zhang said excitedly. After being the Principal for almost twenty years, it was Zhang Lin's first time seeing such a young Calligraphy of the Town Security Party come and cheer for his school's teacher. Zhang Lin was extremely happy.

The reason the quality of Peace Town High School was good was because of his leadership and this group of excellent teachers! But the Calligraphy did not say it, so it was not good for him to announce it! Du Ruiqi really knew how to speak, no wonder he could be a leader at such a young age! Zhang Lin immediately had a whole new level of respect for this young Dushuji. Although they had heard that he was organizing the elections for the lotus root and reorganizing the team of the town's Party Committee, they had all done it very well and beautifully. However, after witnessing it for himself today, he finally understood her true capabilities!

"President Zhang, is the overall trend of our students increasing or decreasing?" Du Ruiqi suddenly asked.

Zhang Lin's face showed awkwardness for a moment, he did not expect Du Ruiqi to suddenly ask this question. However, he soon calmed down, saying: "The overall trend is decreasing year by year, which is a very realistic situation. One is the role of family planning, with fewer children, and the second is the wave of work south, which has caused some children to leave school prematurely. When these two factors are combined, the number of students will definitely decrease. "

Du Ruiqi nodded her head, and said: "When I was at Regimental County Committee before, I did such an investigation, and the situation was basically the same as what Principal Zhang had said. We've looked into the same situation in nearly ten towns and villages, and this problem has caused me deep concern. I have a feeling that some children who drop out of school prematurely will cause great social problems in the future. "

"Yes, for the children who dropped out of school, our teachers all came to persuade them to return to school and continue their studies. However, there are very few people who can return, and the parents' awareness is also incorrect. They think that studying is useless, and the children originally didn't study very well. What the Dushuji is worried about is indeed a problem, but right now, we truly do not have any ways to solve it. " "No," said Chang.

"Maybe some of our measures aren't going to get the kids who have dropped out of school back on campus right away, but I think it's going to be a little more stable for the kids who are in school. For example, we should carry out a lot of thinking and exploring about reading and the future, cause the children to think about the future, recognize the importance of reading, change some people's erroneous views about the uselessness of reading, make the children accept a complete nine-year compulsory education, and try to learn as much as possible before entering society, which is beneficial to their own future and our society. " Du Ruiqi said, "Ten years old, a hundred year old, to nurture a generation, is indeed not that easy."

"Yes, Dushuji's guidance is very good. We will definitely carry out reading activities in this area, and frequently carry out writing or debating activities related thereto. We will definitely change the students' mindset." "No," said Chang.

Du Ruiqi laughed, and declined to comment.

"Principal Zhang, our high school has another branch on another hill, and they're currently all empty, right?" Du Ruiqi asked.

"Yes. In the past, there were a lot of students, so we built that branch. Now, we don't need it anymore. We have a teaching building built behind us, and a few classrooms are still empty." "No," said Chang.

"The branch is the school's building. It's quite a pity that it's empty right now." Du Ruiqi said, "I'm here today, but I have another idea. We'll discuss it with the school administrative staff, and we'll see how the new office buildings are lacking compared to the new one. I want to borrow the school's empty branch to solve the problem of our office space being vacant."

So this was the purpose of this trip to Dushuji! Only now did Zhang Lin come to a realization.
