It was as if millions of divine soldiers were descending from the sky, dark clouds were pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it, and strong winds were unleashed from Feng Bo's wind bag. There is only one big tree in Helu: the camphor tree in front of the ancestral hall is like an isolated and helpless child, tortured by the strong wind, with broken branches and leaves hanging on it and tossed around by the strong wind. There are no longer any women making bamboo weaving under the camphor trees. It is crazy to brave the typhoon to make such a small amount of money.
Liang Chuan decisively asked everyone to take a holiday. It would be safer to stay at home. Moreover, if the family was in trouble, they could rush to help the family as soon as possible. This can be different from modern times. In modern times, when one party is in trouble, there is support from all sides. If you call 119 or 110, the solid force of society will be enriched in your home to help you solve your problems.
In ancient times, you asked the heaven and earth not to respond, and the earth and the earth were not working. How about you ask the county government officials to help your family fight against Taiwan? The first thing the government officials will do when they come is to set your house on fire, and that will end everything. It is estimated that the nearby neighbors will help you, but under such harsh conditions, their own homes may be in a mess, and who will have time to mind your own business.
Since the typhoon comes, this rain is like the water tank in the Dragon Prince’s house in the sky being filled with water again, pouring it down to the earth without hesitation! Big raindrops fell on the eaves in a regular rhythm, matching the howling wind outside the window. This kind of weather. . It couldn't be better for bed.
Liang Chuan and Meng Liangchen discussed it. The weather has been too bad these days, and the children are weak. It is too dangerous to come to school in such strong winds and rains. The two hit it off, and their studies are no different. At home, they could also review the lessons they had learned in the past few days. Meng Liangchen made a decisive decision to send the children home, and Tsinghua Academy would resume classes as soon as the wind stopped.
This familiar scene reminded Liang Chuan of the past when he was a student. In the early days, typhoons still occurred every year, and the education department took it for granted. Can studies be delayed because of such things? Absolutely not. As long as the typhoon does not blow down the school, no matter how strong the wind is, everyone has to go to school. Later, the parents and the Education Bureau gave up because the danger of going to school in the wind was too high. If a billboard or a flowerpot fell from the top of the head, it would cause widespread publicity in the national media. No one wants this kind of bad luck to happen to them. on his own head. Students are happy to have two days off, since they can make it up later, so why not?
He thought that once the news was announced, the children would jump for joy, but he was completely wrong. Not only did no one in the school show a trace of joy on their faces, but instead everyone had a hint of disappointment on their faces.
The children are still young and have not matured enough to hide their emotions. Whether they are happy or not is completely written on their immature faces. It is obvious that everyone's face is as dark as a typhoon day with clouds. Out of the water.
Liang Chuan called Ma Dan to stop. This child was one of the children most recognized by Meng Liangchen for his performance in the school. He was always the first one to come to class. After class, he would put back the sand table and bamboo poles in the school, even if they were not his own. After sitting down, clean up the loose sand on the ground before leaving, treat Meng Liangchen respectfully and always call him sir, and always complete the studies that Meng Liangchen explains with quality and quantity. Before he entered the school, he didn't even have the word "egg" in his name. He can write, but now he can write the most beautiful calligraphy in the school. Even Liang Chuan can't compare with him.
Ma Dan was a typical northerner. He had never seen weather like a typhoon in his life. This destructive power made him pale.
"Wouldn't it be nice to give you two days off and go home to rest?" Liang Chuan looked at the child and asked with interest.
Ma Dan sighed, with a melancholy look that belied his age and said: "My father didn't ask me to come to this school for fun. If I don't make a name for myself in school, I can only go back to farming. Meng Xian first taught me how to be a good man." In those two couplets, the dignitaries are all scholars. After studying in the school for a few months, I feel like I have become a different person. Others are also working hard. Everyone is working hard to live a better life. I spent my life studying in the school, and now I feel like I will miss out on a lot of knowledge even if I stop for two days."
After working hard to study in school, Liang Chuan was suddenly moved when he heard this sentence. They were unable to send their children to school. He didn't know that the opportunity he provided was not worth a leap for them, the children of poor peasant families. Longmen’s great opportunity. Children are not ignorant of the pain of facing the loess. They also hope that they can support a family with a pen, win the respect of everyone and make a living. Who doesn't want to? Aren’t all efforts aimed at making life easier and earning more money?
The education Liang Chuan received was not a turnaround in life. It had another name, and this name was nine-year compulsory education. Under the advocacy of the theory that education is useless, even the poor regard this education as a scam. What is the use of studying? After studying, why don’t you go to work in a factory? Why do you need to read so many books when you can do these jobs without studying? After reading these books, children find that their wages are not as good as those of their old classmates who dropped out of school to work, and their psychological gap will be even greater. Liang Chuan just wants to say that life is not a competition for wages. Books give you knowledge and give you the steps to seek a high salary. They also give you a source of courage when you face the trough of life. If you lose your courage, there is no need to fight in life!
Although these children have a more thorough understanding of the meaning of Liang Chuan's establishment of this school, the knowledge is not forcefully instilled into them. If even they think it is an obligation, they might as well go home and farm.
Being able to understand the significance of studying to their lives, Liang Chuan and Meng Liangchen have already succeeded in running this school, and the other half depends on the food provided by their ancestors.
"Boss, can this school reopen soon, or can we come to school to stay? Although no one has said it, I can see that they prefer to stay in school. I always felt that studying is not for us. What a person of this status should think about, now I realize that sitting in the school is really the most beautiful thing in the world." Ma Dan asked timidly.
"I also think studying is a wonderful thing. At your age, you shouldn't miss what belongs to you. Let's do this. When the typhoon passes, I will let Mr. Meng resume classes. How about it? Is this the first time I've seen you? Such a brutal wind?" Liang Chuan laughed.
Ma Dan was a little nervous, "Yes, the wind is so terrible. In my hometown, the Yellow River sometimes floods, and there are severe droughts like this year, and then the sky is full of grasshoppers like black clouds, but these are not as good as yours." The storm disaster is so scary.”
"Ma Dan, you are a smart boy. This wind is like a truth that you cannot understand. It looks very bluffing on the surface, but in fact, as long as you become thicker, it will not be able to do anything to you."
"Master, what is thickness?"
"You have to find this by yourself. It's different for everyone." This kind of Jiehui is too deep and a bit esoteric for a child who doesn't have enough experience. When the time comes, he can understand it by himself, so why bother to give it to him by himself? It's qualitative.
Liang Chuan looked at them. Maybe one day the pillars of the country will be these children. He is lucky enough to be their leader. His ability can only change the surrounding environment, but under the influence of the surrounding environment, they may be able to change the world. .
The typhoon is coming. Not only are the people in the village not worried about the typhoon, they are happy because every household's house has been reinforced. This year's typhoon is also weaker than in previous years. Although the force is scary, it is not enough to deal with the typhoon. How can this place pose any threat? Most people in Helu have over-prepared food rations at home, and these food alone can last for a long time. Not to mention three to five years, one and a half years is still very easy.
The happiest person is He Baozheng, this invisible man who has been working as an invisible man in He Lu for decades. Ever since Liang Chuanlang became famous after his disaster in the mountains, he has gradually become what a Baozheng should look like. It was selfish, he really hoped that this Saburo would always guard this small place like a guardian angel, so that people's lives could be better.
It’s finally raining. A few days ago, sweat dripped onto the soil and white smoke was still rising. Now it’s raining. It’s a typhoon. Every year when a typhoon comes, it rains non-stop. It’s a big flood. As long as water accumulates in this land, it is considered a flood. If the county magistrate refuses to admit it, then he will drag the old bones to the people in the village. Even if they jointly go to the trouble, Sanlang will have to be saved!
Saburo is really a god. He can even predict when it will rain. Is he really the incarnation of the mountain god? Only gods can know things about gods, otherwise how would he know it? This typhoon didn't look very violent, but it was raining non-stop. I had to ask Saburo if there was anything I should pay attention to.
No one was going out now. He Baozheng, wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, came to look for him in the storm. He was very surprised. Going out in such weather was like winning the lottery, with a happy face. "You've had enough to eat. If you don't stay at home in this damn weather, what are you going to do out there?"
"You've got it right. Let me ask if there's anything you need to pay attention to these days?" He Baozheng and Liang Chuan were standing at the gate, under the "Looking to Home" sign, looking at the world in chaos. But as stable as Mount Tai.
"If you have nothing to do in the past few days, patrol everywhere. In this weather, you are most afraid of someone's house catching fire. If the rain is too heavy and someone's house collapses, if you find it in time, we can call people to rescue. Furthermore, We have dug river ditches in the valleys and drainage channels in the fields. When the water level rises, you must promptly warn the villagers and ask them to move to other safe areas. When the water level rises, it means there may be a flash flood. We It’s true that the river has been dug deeper, but who knows how big the water volume is, we can’t afford to fight against the sky.”
