At first, I thought that school life was boring, but soon, my mind changed.
This teacher Qin, who I don’t know where he came from, would often describe the outside world to us.
From Teacher Qin’s words, we learned about airplanes that can fly in the sky, high-rise buildings, and mobile phones that can transmit sounds thousands of miles away. All of these are things we have never understood before.
Teacher Qin said that the splendor of the outside world cannot be described clearly by him in a few words. He has to see it with his own eyes to know how different it is from the outside world to Zhaojiagou.
Of course, he also told us that the outside world is not as beautiful as we think. People who live in high-rise buildings may live together for decades without knowing the names of their neighbors.
The world outside is wonderful, but the world outside is helpless.
This is a lyric. When Teacher Qin gives us music lessons, he will teach us some novel songs.
Teacher Qin had a lot of enthusiasm. Under his mobilization, soon all the boys in Zhaojiagou came to the school and started studying and taking classes.
But Teacher Qin still has a problem.
One day, when we were in class, Teacher Qin, who was teaching physics to us, suddenly stopped and turned his face to look outside.
Come and try it quickly. 】
"Ah! It's Xiao Cuicui!"
I also immediately recognized the girl squatting behind her with her little head stuck out. There was a grain of rice stained on her gray face, and her two towering hair were pierced somewhat casually.
"It's really Cuicui!"
Xiao Cuicui lives just opposite my house. She is actually two years older than me, but she looks very thin. She also has two younger brothers at home. When she was about five or six years old, she had to carry her own My brother is at work.
I saw Teacher Qin put down the book in his hand and came down from the not-so-high podium. As soon as he walked to the door, Xiao Cuicui quickly retracted her head as if she was a thief, turned around and was about to leave.
Teacher Qin quickened his pace and followed him.
We all laughed as we watched Xiao Cuicui trot along, with Teacher Qin chasing after her.
"Little Cuicui is going to be in trouble!"
"Teacher Qin will definitely scold her!"
Goudan and the others all left their positions and stood in front of the window, looking around, winking.
I was more bold and ran out secretly. I happened to see Teacher Qin holding Xiao Cuicui's arm.
"Stop running, little girl, do you want to go to class?"
Teacher Qin's voice was as gentle as ever, and he didn't seem to be angry at all.
Xiao Cuicui's eyes dodge, and she doesn't even dare to look at Teacher Qin. It was as if he had committed some heinous crime.
I was also surprised.
Teacher Qin squatted down, gently pushed away the rice grains on Xiao Cuicui's face with his thumb, and then said gently: "If you want to come to school, you can come every day. You don't have to be sneaky and you don't have to pay tuition, you know?"
Xiao Cuicui looked at Teacher Qin, her eyes were slightly red, but she suddenly turned her face away, turned around and ran away.
Teacher Qin stood up, looked at the little girl's running back, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
"Teacher Qin, stop looking! There is no way Xiao Cuicui will come to class!"
Hearing my voice, Teacher Qin turned to look at me. He was not angry because I sneaked out of the classroom, but asked, "Why?"
"Because she is a girl!" I thought it was funny.
Teacher Qin actually asked me such a simple question.
It seems that Teacher Qin doesn’t know everything!
"Girls, can't they go to school?" Teacher Qin sighed softly.
I raised my head and looked at Teacher Qin's melancholy expression. I was about to answer, but closed my mouth again.
I know that Teacher Qin is not actually asking me what he said.
After a while, Teacher Qin touched my head.
"Come on, let's go back to class."
"Well, by the way, Teacher Qin, why didn't you scold Xiao Cuicui before?" I asked, raising my head.
Teacher Qin was a little surprised when he heard what I said and asked, "Why should I scold her?"
"Teacher Qin, Xiao Cuicui is a girl, how can she come to school? Girls are everywhere, why should they be literate!" I said seriously.
Teacher Qin was stunned.
His eyes looked directly at me and he was silent for a long time.
Being stared at by Teacher Qin, I became nervous. I rubbed my feet on the ground twice, stepped back a little, and asked cautiously: "Teacher Qin, did I say something wrong?"
Teacher Qin reached out and touched my head.
"go in."
I can feel that Teacher Qin is a little depressed, maybe because of what I just said.
"Teacher Qin, I'm sorry..." I whispered.
"No, it's not your fault, it's everyone's wrong concept." Teacher Qin said softly, "But it doesn't matter, we can slowly change this deep-rooted concept."
Teacher Qin became more and more complicated as he talked, and I couldn’t understand it anymore.
Wait until you get back to the classroom. Teacher Qin, who stood on the podium again, glanced at the faces of us students one by one.
Suddenly, he stretched out his hand, closed the opened book again, and asked us seriously: "Students, do you think girls from Zhaojiagou should come to class?"
After Teacher Qin finished speaking, the students in the classroom exploded and began to whisper among themselves.
Gou Sheng raised his hand and asked bravely: "Teacher, do you want those female dolls to come to class?"
"Do you think this is bad?" Teacher Qin asked with a smile.
"That's not possible! My father already said that it's useless for a girl to study!"
"Yes, teacher! I'm already here for class. If my sister comes too, who will do the work at home?"
"Teacher, it's so outrageous for those little girls to come to class!"
The classmates started talking about it.
I didn't say anything, but my thoughts were the same as those of my classmates.
Teacher Qin is really very capable.
It was okay to get me to come to the school before, but now I actually want the girls from Zhaojiagou to come to class as well.
Isn’t this just messing around!
Teacher Qin was very serious. He stretched out his hand and patted the table twice.
"Students, please remember that getting an education is the effort that everyone should have. Whether they are boys or girls, they should go to school!" Teacher Qin continued, "In the outside world, many industries have There are very outstanding women, including female teachers, female doctors, female police officers..."
In the following time, Teacher Qin talked to us about the world outside the mountain.
This is also my favorite part.
Not just me, but all my classmates in the school seem to be like this.
In the past, we had no idea about the outside world, but now, we are extremely yearning for the outside world.
We also want to get out of Zhaojiagou and see with our own eyes the busy traffic and high-rise buildings that Teacher Qin mentioned...
When school was over, Gou Sheng and the others happily discussed going to the mountains to catch hares, and naturally I wanted to participate, but just when I was about to leave, I was stopped by Teacher Qin.
"Zhao Chengcai, you stay."
I walked up to them reluctantly, then reluctantly turned my head and glanced at the direction Gou Sheng and the others were leaving. These guys were standing at the door of the school and making faces at me.
