Who is in charge of the chef's injury? The post-80s principal cooks for the students
How many skills can a headmaster unlock? The principal of a rural primary school in Henan, a video of himself cooking for the students, triggered tens of thousands of netizens to like. Many sharp-eyed netizens also recognized that this is Zhang Pengcheng, the "white-haired principal after 80s" who was quite popular among netizens some time ago. I still remember the sentence that Principal Zhang said to the camera at that time, "Rural children, there must always be someone to accompany", which made many people moved to tears.
So, what is the matter of "the principal is the chef in charge of cooking" this time? It turned out that Zhang Pengcheng's Erlangmiao Primary School, the school's chef accidentally sprained his waist some time ago, and he couldn't stand and cook. But temporarily could not find a chef to replace, Zhang Pengcheng did not say a word, tied up the apron, picked up the spatula to cook for the students to cook and cook. What kind of braised prawns, cauliflower stir-fried meat, roasted eggplant, etc. Children love to eat, you don't say, this principal chef's craftsmanship is really good! Let's get to know the principal of the "upper hall and lower kitchen", Zhang Pengcheng.
Zhang Pengcheng: Prawns are generally fried for two minutes, no more than two minutes, one minute and a half minutes, depending on the oil temperature, the oil temperature is high on the frying time is short, and then after frying, add ingredients and cook it. Kindergarten children are one person (about) two (shrimp), one person in elementary school (about) three (shrimp), and other dishes.
Zhang Pengcheng: At that time, it was 150 people, plus the teachers were 160 people's meals. The next day the kids said principal, you do it, you do it. Because I used to do catering before I did education, usually I used to make meals in the evening for the children, so I did this to do, you can do it.
In Zhang Pengcheng's view, cooking is also a normal thing he should do as the principal of Erlangmiao Primary School.
Such videos have attracted the attention and support of netizens, making Zhang Pengcheng think that through video recording, parents can also more easily understand the daily situation of their children in school.
Zhang Pengcheng: There are many parents who have paid attention to my Douyin number, and I have to post it twice or three times a week to record the daily life of the children, so I don't think about it so much.
Erlangmiao Primary School in Qingji Town is more than ten kilometers away from the county seat of Taikang County in Zhoukou, Henan Province, and is also the alma mater of local Zhang Pengcheng. At the age of 39, his hair is already more than half white, his skin is dark, the corners of his eyes are wrinkled, and he looks slightly older than his peers, and students will affectionately call him "Grandpa Principal".
At present, Erlangmiao Primary School has a total of 150 students and 8 teachers, and about 90% of the students are left-behind children, most of whom live with grandparents. Therefore, in addition to learning, Zhang Pengcheng and the teachers are more concerned about the physical and mental health of the children.
Zhang Pengcheng: I want to create a good learning environment for children and give them as much nutrition as possible in terms of life. Build a team of excellent teachers, that is to say, the school I imagine should be like this, a school that is supported by leaders, trusted by parents, and loved by children and reluctant to leave.
Wholeheartedly run the village small and accompany the left-behind children to grow up healthily
Zhang Pengcheng was born in Erlangmiao Village and was admitted to a normal school after graduating from junior high school. After graduating in 2012, he was assigned to his alma mater, Erlangmiao Elementary School. He was then transferred to two other rural schools as principal. When he returned to his alma mater as principal in 2018, he found that it was facing a merger.
The withdrawal means that the village will be gone, and the children in the village will have to go to a relatively distant town or other schools, which Zhang Pengcheng does not want to see. Zhang Pengcheng still remembers the dilapidated condition of the school at that time.
Zhang Pengcheng: At that time, the environment of our school, in addition to the teaching building, was more chaotic in other places, the roof was leaky, the water on the second floor was very deep, and the water on the second floor would seep into the first floor, that is, there was no way to go to class normally many times.
If you want to stay in the school, you must retain the source of students and repair the campus environment, so that more children will be willing to study. Therefore, Zhang Pengcheng paid 140,000 yuan in advance for the renovation of school facilities. The roof was repaired, the floor was paved, and a canteen was built. Not only that, the school has also set up a supporting kindergarten to facilitate the enrollment of children of different ages in the village. In order to better take care of the left-behind children, Zhang Pengcheng also let the students eat and live in the school, and his wife also gave up working outside the home to return here to help her husband take care of the children's daily life at school.
Zhang Pengcheng's wife Tian Lige: It's not easy, I really love here, (from) not understanding (him) at first to supporting, and then later in the process of work, I also found that I just like to be with the children.
Zhang Pengcheng: (She) has been taking the girls from our school with her for the past two years, and the girls in the accommodation are all her to accompany her, and she takes care of them at night, and I take care of the boys.
About half a year ago, Zhang Pengcheng began to regularly publish videos on a short video platform through a public welfare activity invitation, recording their real and interesting teaching clips and the daily lives of students. More people have seen the true face of this ordinary rural primary school in Henan through the Internet, and the warm love force is also being transmitted.
Zhang Pengcheng: To help us, for example, he (a caring person) is through the address provided by other netizens, left his own phone and sent supplies over. Another netizen wrote me a few pages of letters. Maybe there are thousands of rural teachers like me in the whole country and the whole county, taking root in the countryside and caring for every child with their hearts, but maybe they have not been discovered. I hope that we have more rural teachers who nourish the hearts of children with love and care for every seedling with their hearts.
Today, the rural primary school is becoming more and more beautiful, the teaching staff has been supplemented, and the number of students has increased from more than 20 to 150.
Zhang Pengcheng: Continue to persevere. Each of us left-behind children, the heart is warm, healthy, sunny, confident, brave, then this is the best, this is the highest goal pursued by each of our teachers and colleagues.
Nourish rural education with youth Accompany left-behind children with love
"A principal who doesn't want to be a chef is not a good teacher"! If you can get on the podium, get down to the kitchen, teach and educate people, and you can grow up with the children, such a principal please give us a dozen.
Zhang Pengcheng went out from Erlangmiao Village in Qingji Town, and after seeing the outside world, he chose to return here and poured his enthusiasm and love into the children. Nourishing Erlangmiao Primary School with his own youth, just like Erlangmiao Primary School, he once grew up with him.
Looking at his thirty-nine-year-old age, his hair was already half white, and in the face of the children calling him "Principal" and "Principal Grandpa", we saw that Zhang Pengcheng's unkind face was always silently smiling. Children can climb on his back, hurl his head, and stroke his biceps with their small hands, this scene of warm pictures shows that he has entered the hearts of children, and children are also his inseparable love.
As Zhang Pengcheng said, he is one of the thousands of rural teachers in the country, and he is also one of the thousands of people who love the left-behind children in rural areas, and many of them are also quietly dedicating their youth to the cause of rural education. They may not be known, or they may give up a lot for it.
June 1 Children's Day, to Principal Zhang, and all the teachers who guard the children, thank you, with your youth and life, light up the children's childhood, ignite the children's dreams.
