The company also had a holiday on May Day, so he wanted to go out for a walk alone, but he did not go to tourist areas, but to big cities. He chose students. He chose students whose families had better grades in school and whose families were more difficult.
The address was drawn based on the road conditions, and he planned to complete a home visit in about five days.
On the morning of the first day, Yang Yimin arrived at the first student's home. It was already past 11 a.m. when he arrived at the student's home. The student's name was Liu Xiaoyan. She was a girl. There were only three people at home, her grandparents and her. The house was built with stone and mud.
It looked very shabby, with four rooms, low, no windows, and no walls.
When Yang Yimin arrived, Liu Xiaoyan's family was shocked. Yang Yimin explained the reason for his visit to her grandparents and mother-in-law, saying that he wanted to come to see Liu Xiaoyan's family situation. Because Liu Xiaoyan had good grades, he hoped that Liu Xiaoyan could get into a good school in the future.
This made the family extremely excited. Liu Xiaoyan's mother-in-law immediately asked Liu Xiaoyan to go to the fields to get vegetables, and she quickly ran to cook. Yang Yimin started chatting with Liu Xiaoyan's grandfather.
Liu Xiaoyan's grandfather was in his sixties, but he still looked strong. The two sat under the eaves and chatted about the situation at home.
Liu Xiaoyan's parents have been working in other places for many years. Initially, her father was alone in other places, and it was more than four years ago that the two of them went out together.
Her mother was pregnant with her second child at the time and went to her father's construction site several times. She found that many migrant workers often went to a small street called Shunhe Lane. Later, she found out that there were all salesmen in their forties*
The place where * gathers, many migrant workers go there to solve their physical problems, and they can get them for ten or twenty yuan.
For this reason, his mother was afraid that her husband would run away to do these things. In addition, in order to save money, the migrant workers discussed cooking by themselves. She went there and she could help. Everyone gave her some money every meal to help her cook, and she also
She could control her husband. Liu Xiaoyan was already in the fifth grade of elementary school at that time, so she allowed Liu Xiaoyan to start living in school.
Later, the two gave birth to a son, but they were afraid of being fined when they returned home, so they kept working outside and took their children with them, leaving only three people at home, an elder and a young child.
His father didn't earn much, just more than 2,000 yuan a month, but the consumption in big cities was astonishingly high. In addition, his second-born brother needed money, so the family always lived close to the subsistence line.
Liu Xiaoyan didn't have any decent clothes before, and even if she had one or two pieces, they cost ten or twenty yuan from street stalls. Since she got the school uniform, she has basically never worn any other outerwear.
Yang Yimin looked around and looked at the surrounding situation. This was a deep hilly area, but the mountains were not particularly high, but there was very little land that could actually grow crops.
When Liu Xiaoyan came back, she held a few bags of corn and some vegetables from the field. She excitedly said to Yang Yimin: "Principal Yang, there are some classmates coming later."
Yang Yimin nodded and said, "Are there any classmates from school here? I don't know everything. Why don't you take me for a walk?"
"The road is difficult, Principal Yang. They will be here soon. It's rare for you to leave." Liu Xiaoyan's grandfather said.
"It's okay, I'll go take a look."
"Principal Yang, you must come back soon and have dinner at our house."
"Okay, I will definitely come back for dinner." Yang Yimin replied.
The two walked for a while, more than ten minutes, and arrived at another student's home. The student's mother was at home, and his father was also working outside. I heard that the principal of Shimen Middle School was visiting the student. He was very happy and greeted him. Yang Yimin stood outside the house.
I chatted with them, mainly asking about their family income and work situation.
This student's father and Liu Xiaoyan's father worked in the same place, but the construction site was different. Their income was similar. However, because they were sons and did not have a second child, the family situation was better.
Before Yang Yimin arrived at other students' homes, the students had already arrived beside Yang Yimin, and an older girl was also standing aside. Yang Yimin thought about it for a long time, but he never thought of such a student.
When the girl saw Yang Yimin looking at him, she smiled and said, "Teacher Yang, I am a student of No. 1 Middle School. You will definitely not remember me."
It turned out to be like this. Yang Yimin thought for a while and realized that this girl seemed to be a freshman in high school last year. Because there were very few students in Shimen back then, he had gone to the station to pick up students and was somewhat impressed by this student. He asked, "Are you a high school student?"
From Class 28, my surname is Feng."
"Teacher Yang, you, you are not a god, you actually remember me." The girl became excited.
"I probably remember it, because I picked you up when I picked you up at the station. You were very good." Yang Yimin guessed and said.
"Yes, Teacher Yang, I'm so happy."
Yang Yimin also thought of the student's home, and Liu Xiaoyan said: "Principal Yang, it's too far. Everyone is here. We can just point it out to you."
Standing in this position, looking towards the mountain, there were some houses scattered around. The students began to introduce the location of their homes. Yang Yimin took notes one by one. Because he could not name some students, so he gradually named them as he asked.
I was asked about my name and family situation.
For girls in No. 1 Middle School, there are eight students in this village studying at Shimen Middle School, including four in the third grade of junior high school. There is only one Liu Haiyan in the key class, while there are three in the ordinary class.
In fact, Yang Yimin really wanted to meet the parents of these students, but if he walked like this, he would not be able to cover the whole village in two days, so he had to give up. He said: "Actually, I can meet you at the school and come and see their homes."
, come and recognize the way, come and chat with your parents is the most important thing, I am very happy to be with you today."
Liu Xiaoyan looked at the time and said, "Principal Yang, go home. My mother-in-law must have cooked the rice."
Yang Yimin said to the students: "Okay, let's go back to eat."
Back at Liu Xiaoyan's house, Liu Xiaoyan brought out the hot water to Yang Yimin. Yang Yimin took out the towel he brought and washed his face. Liu Xiaoyan blushed and said, "Principal Yang, you can only drink plain water."
"Liu Xiaoyan, you're welcome."
Yang Yimin sat down and chatted with Liu Xiaoyan about studying. Liu Xiaoyan was deeply encouraged and said that she must study hard and get into a key high school.
More than ten minutes passed. Liu Xiaoyan's mother-in-law and grandfather came out and said to Yang Yimin: "Principal Yang, please come in for dinner."
Yang Yimin sat down and was surprised. There were two plates of meat on the table and two wine glasses on the table. Liu Xiaoyan's grandfather said: "Principal Yang, you are a distinguished guest of my family. There is nothing to eat in rural areas. This
There are two plates of meat, one is bacon, and the other is hare meat from the mountains, and the wine is also loose wine, which is really embarrassing."
"You are so polite. I came for a home visit. I originally planned to understand the real life situation of the students. If you do it like this, I am thinking, Liu Xiaoyan's life is not bad, but this will not work. I am also a child from the countryside. I don't understand the difficulties.
I've been through the same thing, but it's even more painful than this."
