11. Chapter 11

"Principal Li, I'll try my best..."

There is only Anna, a "literary and artistic worker" in the whole school. She has to accept this job, and even if she doesn't. But Anna dares not say too much.

"Hey!" Principal Li was a little dissatisfied with her statement, "Young people need to be modest, but being too modest means not being enterprising! I am still quite optimistic about you. The times are moving forward, and the future is your young people! Take the information and take a look, and think about how to release a program as soon as possible to rehearse! At present, this is the top priority in your work, and you can put everything aside for the time being. If you need any support, come to me!"

"Okay, okay. Thank you for your trust in me. I will definitely work hard to live up to my expectations."

Principal Li finally showed a satisfied look this time.

Anna received a notice issued by the county on "Welcoming New Year's Day and Building a New Style Art Performance Competition" and went out under Principal Li's earnest gaze.

...

In the next week, Anna suddenly became busy. She spent a few days and finally designed a program to report to Principal Li. It can be seen that Principal Li was quite satisfied, but she still gave some guidance. Based on Principal Li's "guidance", Anna passed the next day and began to select students to participate in the performance. She picked up people and prepared to rehearse, and some minor problems arise. It is said that the only TV station in the county will come to record the video at that time, and there are two children from leaders in the town who want to come. Principal Li asked Anna to arrange it to see if she could stuff it in.

Since the leader said that Anna went to see the two children specifically. She really felt that it was not suitable to go on stage to participate in the performance, so she consulted Principal Li, hoping to turn off the favor quota. Principal Li was also in a dilemma.

"Teacher Li, I also know that you have difficulty in making arrangements, but the parents of the two students specifically asked me... You think of a way, as long as you can go on stage and show your face."

Anna was quite depressed and thought, "Or would they have to put on the background, put a cardboard tree on their bodies, and dig a hole in their face?"

"Hey! This is a good method! That's it!" Principal Li was happy and nodded immediately.

Anna was so amused that she nodded and agreed.

...

In addition to the intense rehearsal, Anna also kept in mind the student named Xu Bing.

Her friend was a foreigner. Because of her own experience, she was very enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings related to children's dyslexia correction. Influenced by him, Anna also participated in a three-month summer camp dedicated to dyslexia correction, and she was quite experienced in specific corrections.

Although the specific correction methods of the English and Chinese departments are different, the principles are still similar. Although the age of Xu Bing has passed the golden period of correction, as long as the guidance is properly, there is still hope that there will be considerable improvement. If you delay it, you may not be able to correct it in your life. Therefore, after the rehearsal of the program was put on track, Anna asked Xu Bing to come to school early every noon every day, and she took charge of Principal Li to borrow the keys of a small storage room where the books were stored, and accompanied him for targeted training.

Half a month later, Xu Bing finally gradually saw progress. Before, he had never been able to read a passage correctly and completely, either skipping words, missing words, or admitting wrong words. But now, he can distinguish the difference between letters C and D, and can slowly read the sentences Anna taught.

Anna was very happy about Xu Bing's progress. She redesigned the content and planned to conduct new training. In the music class that day, she found that Xu Bing was not there.

At first she didn't care, thinking that he had something to ask for leave. But he didn't see him come to see him for the next two days. Anna felt strange and went to ask his class teacher Wang Saiying, and then she found out that Xu Bing had dropped out of school. It was his father who came to the school to handle the procedures.

Anna was very surprised and uneasy.

She never claims to be so fraternal, but since she is a teacher, it is a responsibility for students. She has seen changes in Xu Bing. The child has recently become very excited about her own progress and is looking forward to her correction class. It would be a pity if she gave up halfway.

Anna decided to go to Xu Bing's house to take a look.

Teacher Wang Saiying felt strange, but Anna asked, so she told her the address of Xu Bing’s family and said, “His father is Xu Youcai, who is from Ganyuan Village. He raises cows at home, and there are some roads away from us. Xu Bing has a Gu who lives in Hongshijing. He lives in his Gu’s place at school. Now he should go back to Ganyuan Village.”

...

On Saturday afternoon, Anna informed the students that the rehearsal time would be changed the next day. She went home and told Aunt Li Mei where she was going and went out to take a taxi to Ganyuan Village.

Ganyuan Village is about 20 or 30 kilometers away from Hongshijing Town. There is no car access, and I take a manned tractor back and forth.

Anna took a tractor passing by Ganyuan Village at the station. After an hour of bumping in the deafening noise emitted by the tractor, she finally stood at the intersection of Ganyuan Village.

It seems that many people in this village raise cows. Anna asked all the way and found Xu Bing's home. When she found it, Xu Bing was shoveling grass in the cow pen. When she saw Anna suddenly appeared, she showed surprise, threw down the shovel and ran over quickly.

"Teacher Li! Why are you here?" He rubbed the hay from his hands and looked at Anna with a slight gaze.

"I heard you dropped out of school? I'll take a look." Anna smiled.

While the two were talking, Xu Bing's parents in the room heard the movement and walked out one after another. When they learned Anna's purpose, Xu Bing's mother said, "Teacher Li, I am really grateful to you. I also want the child to continue to go to school, but his father disagreed and insisted on asking him to come back! I have had arguing with him for many times!"

"What else can I get!" Xu Bing's father said rudely, "If you don't read the book, you won't read it. You can go home to help me raise cattle!"

"Old Xu!" Xu Bing's mother's eyes turned red, she turned around and quickly entered the house, took out a model of a ship and handed it to Anna, "Teacher, look, this is made by my son. People say that my son has a brain problem. It's just that he made himself!"

This is a warship model built with countless large and small wood chips. Anna didn't know where Xu Bing had seen the warship, but this two-layer warship model was vivid. Each piece of wood chip was finely polished with sandpaper, with fine workmanship, and many wedge-fitting details were perfect, and the propeller could even rotate freely.

Anna was a little shocked and looked at Xu Bing and asked, "How did you make this? It's so great!"

Xu Bing touched his head a little shyly, "I saw a warship on someone else's TV..."

"Okay! What's the use of doing this any better!" Xu Bing's father said angrily, "Xu Bing will not go to school again and let people bully you!"

Anna carefully returned the warship model to Xu Bing and said, "Dad Xu Bing, I know your mood..."

"You don't know at all!" Xu Bing's father suddenly roared, "It's just you teachers who look down on my son, and they'll pull my son to stand outside the classroom every few days. Once, when he went home, his calf was black and I forced him, and he said that he was kicked by the teacher with leather shoes, just because he couldn't write! My son was good at his hands and feet, so why should he be bullied like this in school? I appreciate your kindness! You go quickly!"

Anna looked at Xu Bing and asked, "Xu Bing, tell the teacher, do you want to continue to go to school, get into college, and go to the outside world in the future and see what is the difference between outside and here?"

When he was in correction classes before, in order to mobilize his enthusiasm, Anna described to him the majesty of the Great Wall, the spectacular migration of African wildebeests, and the International Space Station plan that is just in its infancy. When he listened to these, what appeared in Xu Bing's eyes was unprecedented excitement and excitement.

Xu Bing glanced at his father and stuttered: "...want..."

"You heard it too," Anna said to Xu Bing's father, "he wants to continue to go to school himself, you can't just stop his studies!"

Xu Bing's father said angrily: "Hey, I'll tell you what's wrong with you, my own son's affairs..."

"He is your son, but he is also my student! Your son's intelligence is no worse than others, and he is even smarter than others. He just suffers from a rare dyslexia. I know you can't tolerate him being despised in school so that he dropped out of school. But Xu Bing's father, I have started to teach Xu Bing's correction classes and have seen progress. If it ends like this, it's a pity. Please let him go back and give me some more time, and I will slowly help him correct it. You also hope that your son can have a good future in the future, right?"

"Xu Bing's father!" Xu Bing's mother pushed her husband hard, "Teacher Li, an outsider, cares about the child so much. Are you worthy of your father like this? Next week I will send my son back to school and ask me to kneel down and beg him, and I also beg the principal to give him another chance!"

Xu Bing's father's face was still quite ugly. He opened his mouth, but finally stopped talking.

"As long as you agree," Anna smiled, "It's okay to let him come back on Monday. I'll just go and tell Principal Li. I can have a relationship with the child's head teacher. She will agree."

Xu Bing's father stopped talking and turned around and walked away.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Anna said goodbye. Xu Bing's mother was extremely grateful to Anna, and hurriedly picked up a pot of milk poured into a white plastic pot and said hurriedly: "Teacher Li, you are kind-hearted and specially traveled so far to help our children. There is nothing at home, just fresh milk that has just been squeezed out. It's very clean. You can take it back and cook it and drink it."

Anna refused, and Xu Bing's mother said, "It's okay, I didn't get a big pot because I was afraid that you would be heavy on the road. Next time, I'll send you more. I can't finish it myself, so I can just divide the neighbors."

"How can this be done! You want to sell it." Anna still refused.

Xu Bing's mother handed the milk to Xu Bing and sighed, "Don't mention it. Last year, someone raised cows in our village. The county milk station came to collect them. When the house was built, we all raised them. At this time, there was too much milk and no one wanted them. If you don't take them, it will be thrown away in vain if it breaks in two days. We thought about selling the cows, but no one wants them now. Just accept them, it's worthless!"

Seeing her say this, Anna had to thank her and accepted it.

Xu Bing's mother and Xu Bing took Anna to the tractor waiting for the village entrance to wait. Anna repeatedly asked them to go back first without having to wait with her, and then the two finally turned around and went back.

...

The sun begins to slant westward and the air gradually becomes colder.

Anna put the pot of fresh milk at her feet and looked forward to the tractor. After a while, a tractor passed by, which had never been returned. She was a little anxious when she suddenly saw a small car driving away. It gradually approached and recognized that it was the jeep from the police station. The one who drove seemed to be the Army Zhongjun.

Anna hesitated for a while, before she decided to wave to stop the car, the car had already shouted and flew past her. Through the window glass, the silhouette of the Army Central Army flashed by.

Anna looked at the butt of the car that was far away from her in a blink of an eye and sighed in annoyance. At this time, the car suddenly stopped again and quickly turned around. Then, Anna saw Lu Zhongjun driving back, stopped beside her, and shook the glass.
