Chapter 514: Unexpected Teaching Environment
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
During the distribution of the executive director’s mission, everyone learned that there was only one elementary school in the village.
There were also nine years of compulsory education in the seemingly backward and remote villages. At the very least, they could teach the children some basic learning knowledge.
No matter how poor one was, one couldn’t be poor in education. No matter how hard one’s life was, one couldn’t let their children suffer.
Even if the villagers didn’t understand any great principles, they still maintained the same thoughts about their children and their future. This also allowed the only elementary school in the village to not close down yet.
However, when everyone really arrived at the entrance of the elementary school and saw the entire school, they couldn’t help but fall silent for a moment.
“This… is it really an elementary school?” Lu Qizhi secretly said.
He couldn’t be blamed for saying that. The scene in front of him was too different from the elementary school in his impression. Even if he was mentally prepared…
The main building could be described as a dilapidated mud house. The entire elementary school didn’t even have a second floor. It was probably built by the villagers together. There were two rows of large single-story houses with railings made of wood around them. There was a sign hanging at the main door that said elementary school.
There was not even an official name.
Murong Qiao looked at the sign that seemed to be hanging on the wall. Although it was fixed with nails, it always gave people the illusion that it could fall at any time.
“h.e.l.lo?” A female voice interrupted from the side, attracting everyone’s attention.
A man and a woman walked out of an eye-catching house at the side. They were all dressed plainly and walked over carefully to greet them.
The man had a polite smile on his face. “You are all the part-time teachers today, right?”
“The two of us are permanent teachers here. Welcome.”
Hearing this, Qin Huan frowned and asked, “Just the two of you?”
Although elementary school didn’t require much manpower, with only two teachers, it was still a little difficult for the children to learn the subjects.
“My name is Liu Yan. She’s Li Qianqian. We’re both university students.” Liu Yan pushed his eyes up the bridge of his nose in embarra.s.sment and smiled without saying anything.
Most of the people standing here were smart. When they heard Liu Yan’s words, they roughly understood.
With such conditions and environment, how could anyone take the initiative to come over and suffer? The village didn’t even have the Internet. If they came over, their lives would be lowered by countless levels.
Li Qianqian stood at the side and didn’t speak much. She looked like an introvert. Only when she met everyone’s eyes would she smile in response.
“Alright, where are we going to cla.s.s?” Murong Qiao asked.
Liu Yan was stunned for a moment before answering instinctively, “The first row is fine. We don’t have much cla.s.s order here…”
Perhaps it was because he couldn’t see the disdain on Murong Qiao’s face that he thought that others would definitely have, but it surprised Liu Yan a lot.
Xian Yu snorted softly. “Alright, then let’s arrange for the students to be distributed. We’ll rotate the children and save any situations of being unfair.”
Xian Yu chose to teach music. This was also what he was good at. Chu Ruobai also chose this.
Everyone chose more daily courses like mathematics. There wouldn’t be any problem.
As for Murong Qiao, she chose to teach literature. She wouldn’t clash with the others, but it was also her strength.
To be fair, in the end, everyone was allocated two cla.s.ses. Each cla.s.s lasted about 40 minutes, so it was not too tiring.
“In any case, as long as you don’t make me harvest rice, it’s fine. My back aches when I woke up this morning…” Lu Qizhi took a deep breath and sighed.
In his opinion, there was nothing more painful than physical work.
Sannas crossed his arms and looked at him from the side. “Don’t come over later and say that you’re tired.”
In any case, he had already seen through it. The production team would definitely not arrange any easy work for them. This time, there must be a trap waiting to be stepped on.
Du Guoqing was still as happy as ever. “I have some experience teaching children. In the past, I helped take care of the children to let my wife rest.”
“I, who was still looking forward to Lu Qizhi’s lost expression, turned around and was stuffed with a mouthful of dog food by Boss Du.”
“Cold dog food slapped my face randomly.”
“This single dog seems to have been silently mocked.”
It didn’t take long for them to greet the children. No one wanted to delay the mission, so after they were allocated, they each found a place to start teaching.
“The venue is limited. This place can only hold three cla.s.ses at once… I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Li Qianqian brought them to the large single-story house in the first row.
After all, there were usually only Liu Yan and Li Qianqian as teachers. The two large houses were completely enough and could even give the children a place to play.
“Then…” Chu Ruobai hesitated, wondering if she should give up her slot to make a good impression.m
However, when she thought about how the children’s initial impressions were also very important and related to the quality of the food for the day, Chu Ruobai stopped.
She had not eaten much in the past two days since she came, and she didn’t know how to cook. Faced with the temptation of food, Chu Ruobai really didn’t want to give in.
Chu Ruobai, who was hesitating, vaguely glanced at the location of the producer. The scales in her mind gradually tilted.
“No need,” Murong Qiao said.
This blocked the decision Chu Ruobai had just made.
Murong Qiao waved her hand. “You guys can go first.”
She didn’t have any requirements for the order of succession. Moreover, there was a second row of single-story houses here. It wasn’t like she really didn’t have anything to teach them.
In the end, it was Murong Qiao. Xian Yu who sat out, and the other six people could share the three cla.s.ses equally, perfectly occupying the time.
Liu Yan brought the six of them to familiarize themselves with the venue, leaving Li Qianqian, Murong Qiao, and Xian Yu standing together.
“We’re not picky about the place. We can go to the house at the back to teach.” Murong Qiao took the initiative to speak.
It was not good to delay the entire production team’s progress because of them.
Xian Yu nodded in agreement. “Just lead the way.”
However, Li Qianqian looked troubled. “The back… is more dilapidated.”
“It’s fine, as long as we can hold the cla.s.s.” Murong Qiao couldn’t be bothered.
The producer who was following also nodded, indicating for Li Qianqian to lead the way.
The main focus of the show was to experience life in the countryside and the sense of reality. This was also what they wanted to film. It was too fake to put on airs at this time.
Seeing this, Li Qianqian could only lead the way for Murong Qiao and the others.
However, when they followed Li Qianqian to the back, Murong Qiao, Xian Yu, and the audience in the live-stream finally realized that the other party was telling the truth.
“Heavens, this place is too dilapidated.”
“It’s so difficult to imagine. Is this the life of a child in the village?”
“I originally thought that the one in front was already old enough, but this…”
Perhaps for the sake of the aesthetics of the live-stream, many children stayed at the back. They gathered together in groups of three or two. When they saw strangers coming, they were so frightened that they couldn’t keep quiet.
“I asked you to go to the first row because that was newly built last year. It’s still pa.s.sable.” Li Qianqian lowered her voice. “When we first arrived here, there was only this dilapidated building. The teaching conditions were especially poor.”
Murong Qiao listened to Li Qianqian’s introduction quietly and glanced around at the children.
There were not many people in the village, and there were only about 10 children here. Murong Qiao could tell the number at a glance. Among them, she even saw Xiaoxiao, whom she had given a hairpin.
Xiaoxiao stood with the boy who had helped collect the rice yesterday. Her eyes were sparkling as she looked over, and she didn’t have the timid aura she had the first time..
