Chapter 82 Completion Ceremony
The next day, Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo pulled the packed items down the mountain and into the new school in a donkey cart and three rounds.
Ma Zhongguo stood at the door of the new school and sighed, staring blankly at the brand new teaching building and was reluctant to look away.
"Okay, Teacher Ma, look at your new wife." Lin Ping joked.
Ma Zhongguo shook his head: "No, it's more beautiful than the new wife."
Kushan Mountain District hopes that the school will be built by special subsidies from the central government, fundraising and donations from local governments and social welfare organizations. Two four-story buildings, one for teaching buildings and the other for dormitory buildings. In addition to the two buildings, there is a simple playground. There is a row of bungalows on the east and west sides of the playground, one for kitchens and the other for toilets. Due to the construction conditions, such schools generally do not set up toilets in teaching buildings and dormitory buildings, but set up a large toilet in a unified manner.
At the same time, this school will cover the poor children in Kushan and the surrounding poor areas. For example, the mountain village schools where Lin Ping was previously located have many in Kushan area. In the future, these schools will become completely history. All similar mountain villages around and slightly larger old schools will be relocated to the hope school in front of you.
The establishment of this school will basically solve the problems of difficult schooling and poor educational environment for poor children in Kushan area.
Another day passed, and it was the day when the completion ceremony that Wang Hongwen and Lin Ping had told him before yesterday.
Early in the morning, some staff came to the school to arrange the arrangement early. The joyful red flowers were hung at the school gate and on both sides, and the firecrackers were already hanging in place, and media reporters were taking pictures.
Following the process, Lin Ping and the children arrived at the school first and prepared to welcome Wang Hongwen and the others.
As soon as Lin Ping arrived at the school, he saw an old acquaintance at the door.
"Hi!" Li Yufei saw Lin Ping and the children from afar, and then happily shook her hands and greeted her.
"Hey, why are you here?" Lin Ping said with a smile.
"Yes, this matter is so serious, and the municipal government also attaches great importance to it? Of course, our Linxi Daily will conduct an interview and report." Li Yufei said with a smile.
"Hello sister!"
"Hello sister!"
Liu Qingmei and the others greeted Li Yufei happily.
Li Yufei touched their heads: "Hey, hello you guys!"
Then, Li Yufei said, "You are Liu Qingmei. I heard that you did a very good job in your county in this high school entrance examination?"
Liu Qingmei nodded obediently: "Yes."
Then he said, "It was taught by our Teacher Lin."
Liu Xiangqian also came up to the front and said, "Sister reporter, I! I did a good job in the exam, too!"
Li Yufei looked at Liu Xiangqian and said with a smile: "Then you must be Liu Xiangqian."
"Yes, yes, I am Liu Xiangqian!" Liu Xiangqian said excitedly and happily.
"I went to the hotel in the county last night, and the staff of the Education Bureau who received me told me." Li Yufei looked at Lin Ping and praised, "You are so awesome. You can teach such good students in this environment!"
Lin Ping shook his head and said with a smile: "The teacher is just a guide. The key is to rely on themselves. I just played a small role."
Li Yufei curled her lips: "You are so humble and a little hypocritical."
Liu Qingmei muttered, "That's right, how could we have been today without Teacher Lin? Teacher Lin has the greatest effect."
Liu Xiangqian also said, "That's right, Teacher Lin is the best teacher in the world."
Several other children were also chattering and expressing their love and respect for Lin Ping. Li Yufei listened to their words and said with a smile: "Did you see it? Children will not lie!"
Lin Ping smiled and said nothing.
Li Yufei greeted the camera reporter and said to Lin Ping: "Come on, let me interview you, the great teacher Lin!"
"Okay, what are you going to ask?" Lin Ping said with a smile.
"Teacher Lin, what has been the biggest touch you this year for teaching?" Li Yufei put the microphone beside Lin Ping's mouth.
Lin Ping held a child with one hand without hesitation and said with a smile: "Is that need to be said? Of course it is these children."
"Is there anything that touched you especially?" Li Yufei asked again.
"Of course," Lin Ping wanted to tell the story of "a bowl of rabbit meat", but after looking at Liu Qingmei and other children, it seemed inappropriate to tell it now, so he paused and said, "Every day is touching."
"Tell me something specific!" Li Yufei asked curiously.
"Well..." Lin Ping said mysteriously, "I'll tell you quietly in a while!"
Li Yufei was amused by Lin Ping: "Haha, what's still so mysterious? Okay, I'll wait for you to tell me quietly what kind of story I can tell me."
After Lin Ping said this, the students were unhappy and wanted Lin Ping to say it now.
Li Yufei quickly helped Lin Ping to help him: "Then I will ask you the next question, what is the feeling of moving from a dilapidated original school to this new school now?"
Before Lin Ping could answer, the children around him happily said words such as "good" and "happy". Only Liu Xiangqian said unhappyly, "If we are not happy, we will leave in high school, and we will build such a good school."
At this time, Lin Ping saw Teacher Ma Zhongguo and greeted him: "Teacher Ma, come here!"
Lin Ping turned around and said to Li Yufei: "You should ask Teacher Ma this question, and he has a better say."
When Ma Zhongguo heard Lin Ping's call, he quickly limped over and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The reporter wants to interview you." Lin Ping said with a smile.
Ma Zhongguo quickly tidied up his clothes while backing back: "What are you doing when you interview me? I'm just a bad old man. When you interview you, you are the face of this school..."
"Teacher Ma, please accept the interview quickly. You are the representative of countless rural teachers in China." Lin Ping said.
Ma Zhongguo was stunned for a moment, then patted his clothes and said, "Okay."
Li Yufei looked at Lin Ping and then looked at Ma Zhongguo and asked with a smile: "Teacher Ma, what is your mood to move from a dilapidated original school to this new school?"
"Okay, OK, OK!"
Ma Zhongguo said three good words in a row, and seemed a little excited and incoherent.
Li Yufei whispered: "Teacher Ma, say something else, don't be that simple."
Ma Zhongguo thought for a while and said, "Then as Teacher Lin said, willows planted for three thousand miles and finally led the spring breeze to the bitter mountain. The children and I were like people who had been through the cold winter. Finally, we felt the spring breeze blowing on our faces and saw the warm spring flowers blooming."
As he said that, Ma Zhongguo cried with joy and left tears without any concealment in front of the camera.
During the interview, teachers from other mountain village schools also came with their children one after another. Lin Ping took the opportunity to scan it. These people will be his teachers and students in the future.
Not long afterwards, Wang Hongwen brought Linxi Municipal Education Bureau staff and the mayor and others to come, and everyone quickly welcomed him warmly.
Then there were a series of cumbersome superficial image projects such as the speech of the Municipal Education Bureau staff, Wang Hongwen’s speech, the mayor’s speech, and Lin Ping’s speech.
Finally, Wang Hongwen said: "Okay, on behalf of Xibei County Government, Xibei County Education Bureau announced that Kushan Hope School was officially established!"
At this time, the mayor said, "There are life in schools. It's not nice to call our school Hope School, so let's name it."
"Okay." Everyone agreed.
Wang Hongwen glanced at Lin Ping: "Teacher Lin, you are a college student and the first principal of this school. You will name it."
Lin Ping said without any refusal: "Just call Zhongguo Hope School."
"China Hope School?" Wang Hongwen asked in confusion.
"It is loyal loyal and also the name of Teacher Ma Zhongguo." Lin Ping said.
After hearing this, Ma Zhongguo shook his head: "No, no, what kind of virtue can I do? How can I name this school by my name?"
Lin Ping said: "Teacher Ma Zhongguo has been teaching in Kushan for 27 years. He is a microcosm of our country's great rural teachers. He spreads hope in countless poor and backward areas. What is more meaningful than naming this hope school with "Zhongguo"?"
Wang Hongwen nodded and said, "Yes, loyalty to the country, loyalty to the party and patriotism, what else should be the name of this hope school more than the great spirit of Teacher Ma Zhongguo?"
