Li Meiling, a | of the winter holiday of rural teachers: I haven't seen this group of children for more than ten days, and I miss them

Editor's note: "The day is not everywhere, youth comes from just now; moss flowers are as small as rice, and peonies are also learned." "This is a true portrayal of the vast majority of small-scale rural schools. In the past 2021, the reporter went from Yinan to Yuncheng, and then from Zhuanhua to Yiyuan squatting, witnessing many educators with feelings taking root in the countryside, and they are working hard to make up for the gap with glimmer and help rural children grow better. The family sits idly and the lights are amiable, which is the ideal state for the Spring Festival reunion. In small-scale rural schools in many parts of Shandong, countless rural principals and teachers are rushing to the homes of students in remote rural areas that lead to the middle of the mountain, and they want to use their precious winter vacation time to go to their children's homes and enter their children's hearts. From now on, the Qilu Evening News Qilu One-Point "Youth Talk" column will successively launch the "Winter Holiday Memories of Rural Principals/Teachers", focusing on what rural teachers see, hear and feel during home visits, light up the dreams of rural children, and inject strength into rural revitalization. The following is the winter holiday record of Li Meiling, director of moral education at Caojiazhuang Complete Primary School in Dazhangzhuang Town, Yiyuan County:

February 6, 2022 The sixth day of the first lunar month of the lunar calendar The clouds turn sunny

Today is the sixth day of the first lunar month, and it is my turn to be on duty for the second time during the holiday. I woke up at 7 o'clock on time, washed up and had breakfast, and my husband drove with me to school. There are not many cars on the road, not as busy walking relatives in the second and third grades, but the country roads leading to the school are relatively narrow, and some of the roads are seriously damaged, and it takes 40 minutes to drive to the school.

Stopping the car, I opened the side door of the school. The campus is very quiet, there is no noise of the past, and it is really a little uncomfortable. Opening the office door, a cold air blew into my neck, and I couldn't help but shiver. Because all the sunny rooms are classrooms, the teachers' offices are all in the west, and there is almost no sunlight, so it is relatively cold. I quickly turned on the air conditioner, the office green lotus leaves are yellow, I don't know if it is frozen or lack of water, I took the cup and watered it. After pouring water, I quickly opened WeChat, reported the information of the epidemic prevention and control platform, and began to inspect the campus after completing this.

Walking out of the office, the sky that was still cloudy just now was sunny in an instant, and God still took good care of me. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile involuntarily. Basking in the warm sun, I first came to the playground, and the red runway and green fence brought me a visual impact under the reflection of the blue sky and white clouds. In the east, there is a circle of hills lying quietly, and looking at these hills, I feel that I have landed and relied on. With open arms and a greedy deep breath of fresh air, the cries of ducks crunching in my ears from the farmhouse next to me, everything in the village school was so beautiful and intoxicating, I couldn't help but take out my mobile phone to record the beauty.

After enjoying the fresh campus, I rushed to the teaching building again, and went upstairs and downstairs for a circle. One holiday, the school underwent great changes, the front hall of the teaching building was renovated and renovated, and the cultural wall in front of the classroom was also decorated, but after renovation, a thick layer of ash and wood chips fell in the corridor. I thought that idle is also idle, it is better to move and clean the teaching building.

Just do it! I first swept the first floor with a broom, then went to the canteen to get the square bucket of the canteen aunt's mop, carried two buckets of water and poured it, and then took two mops and began to mop the ground floor on the first floor. Due to the construction, there was a lot of glue left on the ground, and I didn't have tools, so I couldn't get it down, which was a pity. After dragging it again, the water in the bucket was black and black, and I could only bring two more buckets of water to replace it. The cleaning of the first floor was completed, and the shabu mop came to the second floor. The situation on the second floor is better than that on the first floor, and the cleaning is much easier, and it has been 10 or so trips to the water, which can be exercised this time. The whole teaching building was cleaned up, I looked at my mobile phone, it was 12 o'clock, and sure enough, the time passed quickly! Although the cleaning did not reach my ideal level, I was still very happy looking around at the fruits of my labor.

After getting busy, I was really a little tired, and my stomach was also grunting. Coming out of the teaching building, I put the tools back in place, and was preparing to go back to the office to eat a few bites of bread pad. Then a voice came from behind: "Teacher." When I looked back, I saw a tall, thin, middle-aged woman with a triangular scarf tied around her head, looking at me shyly.

"Hello! Is there something going on? I asked.

"I came to the school to get the temperature checker, and the child's teacher said that it was on the guard, but the door was locked." After saying that she looked at me expectantly.

"Then I'll help you find it." I hurried back to the office to look for the key, but I didn't find it for half a day. Thinking that it was not easy for people to come once, I couldn't let people run away for free, so I went back to the front of the building and said to her, "I didn't find the key, or you came to our office and so on, I'll print a new copy for you."

So we came to the office together.

During the conversation, I learned that she was the mother of xiaoyi (pseudonym) in the third grade, and she also had a daughter who was in junior high school, so I asked her to print one more. I readily agreed. In her many thanks, I sent her out of school. Then I thought that maybe there were people like her who couldn't get the form, so I went back to the office and copied a dozen forms. Where is the form? How can we make it easier for everyone to get the form? I walked to the school gate and saw that there were several holes next to the landscape stone "Huai Jin Holding Yu" in front of the door, and I had a clever move to stuff the form into the hole below. This way, it can't be scratched, and it can't be drizzled, and parents can take it at any time, how convenient! I can't help but sigh at my own cleverness, hehe!

After doing this, I suddenly heard my stomach grunting, Oh, I haven't eaten yet, so I quickly went back to the office for lunch, my husband made a bag of instant noodles, I ate a bread, and when I took a break, I looked through the WeChat group, and found that the senior teacher who taught English in our class group had assigned a new activity task, "I don't know if the children in our class are obedient at home?" How did the homework go? Are there any difficult questions? ”

I haven't seen this group of children for more than ten days, and I still miss them. At this time, an idea came to mind, go home visit!

So, I arranged for my husband to help me stare at the school, I drove myself to start the home visit, I first came to the dawa village Xiao Cao (pseudonym) home 10 miles away from the school, our class I was most uneasy about this child, his parents divorced, he lived with his father, grandfather, and grandmother. Because his father worked in the city, many times it was his grandparents who took care of his life and study. His grandparents were old and illiterate, so they couldn't help him with his studies. I made a phone call first and made sure the child was home. Xiao Cao learned that I was going to visit my home, and he waited by the side of the road early, and when he saw me, he was a little shy and a little scared, and I walked with him and talked to his house.

Grandma Cao warmly invited me into the house, "Teacher, thank you so much, I still remember the child during the holidays, it is very good for the child to meet a teacher like you." ”

I said, "Son-in-law, you're welcome, that's all I should do." ”

I asked about the child's performance at home, checked the child's recent learning, found that his homework did not complete much, so I worked with him to formulate a pre-school learning plan, and encouraged him to carefully prepare for the new lessons and strive for greater progress in the next semester. I feel very relieved in my heart, but also have a sour feeling, this trip did not come in vain! When they left, Xiao Cao and her grandmother sent a long way away. Then I visited several students' homes and asked about the children's situation, the parents saw that I was very excited, thank you for saying a lot of words, with the affirmation of the parents, next semester I will definitely work harder, never let them down.

After visiting five or six children in a village, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, the children in the class were scattered in various villages, far away, and the other children could not go to see it this time, which was a pity!

Busy day, very fulfilling, but also a little regretful, but the world is difficult to have a consummation, regret is the norm, do your best. As the sun sets, we set out on our way home.

I sat in the co-pilot and hummed the little song from time to time, my husband looked at me several times, I smiled at him, today's joy is only known to me!
