Now, let’s take a little space to talk about Zhang Shaoping.

Zhang Shaoping was not idle at home either. He came to Zhangjia Village Hope Primary School with his own abilities and became a Chinese teacher. This Hope Primary School was built and improved by the state from the finances. Most of the teachers in it started teaching after graduating from college or high school.

At that time, college students were extremely rare. In addition, many college students went to better cities and environments to seek development after graduation. Few people returned to their hometowns to become teachers after graduation. After all, those hard days were really scared. As long as they seized the opportunity to develop in big cities, college students would go to the distance without hesitation.

Zhang Shaoping lived in the countryside since childhood. He knew the hardships and hard work in the countryside. He also considered going to big cities like others to seek development. However, he understood more clearly that he had a deeper relationship with the land that raised him. Many things happened in this land of hope. It was this dear land that raised him into a human being. Now that he has grown up, he has the ability to contribute his youth to this land. Therefore, after graduation, he returned to his hometown without hesitation, hoping to spread his passion on this land.

Zhang Shaoping has been a Chinese teacher in Hope Primary School for a while. He discovered that there was a student named Li Yulan in his class who had the same elementary school experience as himself. For a moment, he seemed to see the once tenacious self in this student.

Li Yulan's family lives in Lijiatun, and the distance between school and home is at least seven or eight miles. She is like all poor peasant families. This child was very sensible when she was very young. When she was just five years old, she learned to feed pigs with her mother. Every day when it was dawn, she would get up to pick pig vegetables on the mountain. She looked like a radish head, and she actually carried a heavy basket full of heavy pig grass with dew. Every step she took seemed very difficult.

It is said that children from poor families have become families early, and Li Yulan knows that her family is poor. Therefore, her young mind has learned a lot of things that adults know early. She cannot eat whatever she wants and wear whatever she wants like like the children of rich families. Therefore, no matter how hungry she is or how ragged she is in, she never asks her family for it, and she always endures it with gritted teeth.

Sometimes, when a few guests or distant relatives come to the house, the best food will be served at home. Under normal circumstances, Li Yulan cannot eat these delicious foods. She always stands aside and watches the guests eat quietly. She can only swallow her saliva to feel the delicious food on the table.

When the guests at home left after dinner, there were always some leftovers left on the plate. In this way, Li Yulan was never found in the family. She had already run out on the excuse Zhao had already run out. She knew that the remaining food should be left for her three-year-old brother. Even if the younger brother didn't eat it, she should be given to her father or mother. Because they worked in the field, their work was heavy and hard, she felt sorry for everyone in the family. She always snatched everything at home and started to do it skillfully.

Of course, Li Yulan has always been an excellent student in the class in terms of academic performance. Every time she takes a golden certificate from the school, she takes home. Hope Primary School has set up a scholarship for outstanding students. Because of her excellent academic performance, Li Yulan will receive such a bonus every time. She takes out the tuition from the bonus. The remaining money is not put in her wallet to buy stutters for herself, but is given to her family for subsidies.

Mu Xiaoying, the neighbor next door to Li Yulan's house, is studying in Hope Primary School like her. Mu Xiaoying's family environment is much better than Li Yulan's family. Mu Xiaoying's father is a taxi driver, and her mother opens a barber shop. The situation at home is much better than that of Li Yulan's family.

Li Yulan went to school with Mu Xiaoying for many years, and with a neighborhood relationship, the two of them always remained indistinguishable from each other. Whenever Mu Xiaoying had pocket money, she would think of Li Yulan at the first time and share the pocket money with her.

In this year, Li Yulan's figure had increased significantly. Although she was dressed in rags and had a haggard face, she could tell that she was a beautiful girl with outstanding appearance at a closer look.

Her good friend Mu Xiaoying is half a head shorter than her, but it is very different from her. Mu Xiaoying's round face is white and smooth, and she has bright eyes. She is wearing some beautiful clothes.

As she grew older, Li Yulan developed faster, and her upright breasts made her look a little adult. She began to feel a little shy. Every time she saw her good friend Mu Xiaoying wearing gorgeous clothes, she was always a little ashamed. The conditions at home were just like that. She didn't want to continue studying anymore. Because her family was poor, she wanted to drop out of school to help her family live. After all, she had a younger brother.

When she told her good friend Mu Xiaoying that she was about to drop out of school, Mu Xiaoying was so uncomfortable that she turned red and said, "Yulan, you must not drop out of school. If your family can't afford to study, then I will beg my parents to support you in school!" Li Yulan smiled and said, "Are you stupid? Xiaoying, how can you let your parents support me in school? Besides, you don't have to eat or drink at school. It's better to come out earlier to work hard for your family. You are different from me. Your parents have their own jobs. As long as you study hard, you will definitely have a good future in the future.

Mu Xiaoying didn't listen to what she said, and she shed tears to prevent her from dropping out of school. However, Magnolia was an idea-worthy child. Once it was something she decided on, she would not plan to change.

After dinner that day, Li Yulan's father smoked in her yard. After she packed up the dishes, she walked outside the house and told her father what she thought. After hearing her say something, her father said sadly: "What you said is true. Our family is poor. Although you also have scholarships to pay tuition every year, when you really go to junior high school and high school, our family can't afford it. It's better to drop out of school and come back to help your family live together."

Seeing that her father agreed to her thoughts, Li Yulan turned around and walked into the house. In fact, she was so eager to continue studying! But after hearing what her father said just now, she thought it made sense. It would be better to come out to help her family live earlier.

On that day, Mu Xiaoying still went to Hope Primary School to study as usual. The bells for class "Ding" and "Ding" rang. This class was conducted by Zhang Shaoping. When Zhang Shaoping saw the vacant seat of Li Yulan, he began to feel a little uneasy. He thought something had happened to her on the road, so he didn't come to class, or something happened at her home, so he delayed the class.

After class, Zhang Shaoping found Mu Xiaoying and asked her about Li Yulan's situation. After all, everyone knows that Li Yulan and Mu Xiaoying have the best time, and they are neighborhood relationships. Zhang Shaoping called Mu Xiaoying to his side and said with a smile: "Xiaoying, do you know why Li Yulan didn't come to class today?"

Mu Xiaoying said with red eyes: "Teacher Zhang, Li Yulan asked me to tell you that she won't come to school in the future."

"If you don't come to school, what will she do?"

"She plans to drop out of school and help her family live together!"

"What? How old is she? You are now in a good time to study and school, so you can't give up halfway! Let's do this! After a while, I'll accompany you to her house and talk to her, and you can't let your mistakes turn into eternal regret."

"Okay, Teacher Zhang, then I'll go to class first. Don't worry, I'll wait for you on the playground."

"Okay, you go to class first!"

After school, Mu Xiaoying Shou asked someone to walk to the playground and wait for Zhang Shaoping. Zhang Shaoping waved to her and walked over. The two of them were talking and laughing along the way, which was enough to have the seriousness between teachers and students, and they were more like two siblings talking.

Not long after, Zhang Shaoping followed Mu Xiaoying to Lijiatun. At this moment, Li Yulan was cutting pig grass with a kitchen knife outside the house, and was busy alone. Zhang Shaoping shouted to her through the fence, "Yulan, what are you busy with?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Yulan looked up and looked at it. When she saw that it was Zhang Shaoping, she smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, why are you here?"

Zhang Shaoping smiled and said, "I can't come to see my students?"

Li Yulan wiped her hands, stood up from the wooden bench, walked towards Zhang Shaoping, and said with a smile: "Teacher Zhang, since you are here today, I will tell you in person! From now on, I will not go to school anymore, and from now on, I will devote myself to helping the family life."

"Magnolia, you are still young, so you can't make a decision easily! Teacher Zhang is also a rural person. He knows that rural life is hard, but the only thing that can change our destiny is reading. Reading is the only way out. Only when you know more can you change your current destiny."

Just when Li Yulan was a little speechless, Li Yulan's father came back with a hoe from the field.

Li Yulan's father walked in and pointed at Zhang Shaoping, saying, "Yulan, who is this?" Li Yulan responded with a smile, "Dad, this is Teacher Zhang who teaches us Chinese."

"Oh, it turns out it's Teacher Zhang! Hurry, hurry up, please sit down. I wonder if Teacher Zhang is going to our house?"

Zhang Shaoping sat on the wooden bench and said with a smile: "That's right. I didn't see Li Yulan during class today. I thought she was delayed by something at home, so I came to see it."

"Oh, so that's it! I'm sorry, Teacher Zhang, from today on, our Magnolia will not be studying. She is embarrassed to tell you in person, so she asked Sakura to bring you a message. I wonder if Sakura has told you?"
