The winter holiday of rural teachers | Liang Shaohua: Child, give me your hand

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 Liang Shaohua, a teacher at Chengguan Experimental Middle School in Yinan County:

"In fact, each of us lives as a world, and even the most ordinary person has to fight for the world in which he lives." ——

Yang Yang was running out of the deep alley.

I left Mingyang's house and continued my home visit. Turned to the village of Zaolinzhuang, the last two times to Yangyang's house is noon, now the sky is dark, I can't find the alley, had to be near the square in the east of the village, dialed the parents' phone, opened the double flash and so on. Yang Yang ran straight. The cold wind of the waxing moon hit people, I hurriedly opened the window and called her to the car, she was worried: "Teacher, I will not drive the car door." I was startled and quickly got out of the car, "Don't worry, I'll drive." "The car went around in the alley before it turned to the door." Teacher, how do I get out of the car with the car door? "You're an acute, wait for me." Yang Yang's shy appearance is heart-wrenching. This should be her first time in a car. Carefully maintaining a girl's self-esteem, I took her hand and walked into the courtyard together.

In the house, Yang Yang's mother was lying on the sofa, and his father had not yet left work. Yang Yang was busy pouring tea, and I peeled a banana for her mother. Several times she had to sit up on the couch she was lying on, but I stopped her. I sat next to her, holding the hot water of the yangyang in my hand and putting sugar, and talked to her homely.

"Yang Yang's brother, when he was born, became what he is now due to lack of oxygen, and he can't take care of himself. Look at me, I had surgery again..." The parents' words were full of apologies and expectations. Well, I answered. Everything is good, your body slowly rests, and it will soon recover. We talked about the flu before the end of the semester, Yangyang was infected with the flu, she insisted on going to class every day is late after self-study before going home to drip, returning to school early in the morning, not willing to leave a class. Speaking of this, parents laughed: YangYang, from childhood do not have to worry about adults, at home hands and feet diligent, busy with this and that, learning self-awareness. She kept praising the teachers for her education.

Yang Yang is a positive and excellent girl. But she is sensitive in her heart, always wraps herself tightly, does not dare to communicate with people, afraid that her classmates will know the embarrassment at home, inferiority, lack of vitality and self-confidence.

Her parents are particularly concerned about their children's education, but what really affects their children's lives is not only the child's education, but also the child's character cultivation.

At present, there is an urgent need for parents and our teachers to help Yangyang get out of her inferiority complex and cultivate her confident and generous character in life and study. The child will one day go to the society, which needs to cultivate her mentality and ability to adapt to the future society in learning, teach her to slowly try to learn, live and communicate with an open mind, give full play to her strengths, wash away the shadows, overcome anxiety, and be able to take on the heavy responsibilities of the family after the day.

An exchange, like a long drought and timely rain, Ganlin spread at home and school. Before leaving, Yangyang's mother was bent on expressing her gratitude and insisted that the child fill me with a package of freshly ground cornmeal. I couldn't say no, so I had to accept it.

Home visits are a bridge of hope for school communication, opening a thousand knots between teachers, students, and parents, and teachers need to lean down and listen to the sound of flowers with their hearts and feelings.

Before the car, Yangyang sent me, saying that in the future, let me supervise more, she will try to ask bold questions in class, and go to the office to communicate with the teacher after class. Looking at this sensible little girl, I embraced her lovingly and whispered to her that I had left money on the couch to buy her mother something delicious. Turning around again, tears were already flashing in my eyes.

This class of 2020, I teach two classes of Chinese, and at the same time I am the class teacher of two classes, facing more than a hundred students and their parents, I know the weight of the burden on my shoulders. May this busy day, as always, illuminate the children's journey of life with the fire of life.

The hula wind blew, and I couldn't help but wrap my coat tightly, but at this time my heart was warm. I will definitely stick to the home visit work, communicate more with parents, continue this good interaction, and jointly promote the healthy growth of students and move forward with children to the future!
