Chapter 1955 "Bitter" Days Continue

Movie stars don't always have the chance to be famous.

When "Resident Evil" became very popular and Zhong Chuhong suddenly became a world-class action female star, the handsome Tony Leung Chiu-wai, who was not inferior to her in Hong Kong, was currently working honestly in a remote village. Volunteer teacher.

The second batch of candidates for "Celebrity Teacher", Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda, set off after the Spring Festival to Qianzhou, the poorest city in the mainland, to serve as volunteer teachers.

Of course, the poorest place in the mainland is definitely not Qianzhou, but the two more remote autonomous regions. However, the geographical conditions there are even worse and the environment is not suitable for them, so the crew still chose Qianzhou as always.

Before going to Qianzhou, Liang Chaowei and the others specially pulled Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang out. They all had a meal together and after understanding the general situation there, they could make various preparations accordingly.

For example, Liang Chaowei, a lonely and handsome boy who doesn't like children very much, also went out to buy hundreds of sets of various clothes and shoes.

Zhang Manyu bought a lot of simple and beautiful silver jewelry.

Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda were the most practical people. They entrusted the staff in Qianzhou to do the preliminary preparation work, and prepared tens of thousands of kilograms of meat and various snacks. They shipped some of them every month and prepared them as a guide for everyone when they were ready to go. and the children’s rations for the past few months.

In addition, they brought over various gifts prepared by Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang for the previous group of children from all over the country. They bought them in Xiangjiang and prepared them in the mainland. They were scattered in fifty Dongfeng trucks. , which made the staff and local government people a little stunned.

This does not include the twenty Dongfeng trucks prepared by Liang Chaowei of the second group.

To this end, they also worked thousands of people, most of whom were surrounding villagers, and delivered these things one by one to the children and lonely elderly people by carrying them on their shoulders.

Rao was mentally prepared and had experience in the mountainous area this time. A house with better conditions than Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang was prepared for them, and a lot of repairs were carried out. In the first few days after arriving, the four It can be said that I can't eat anything and can't sleep at night.

Zhang Manyu, who studied and grew up in the UK, is used to the cold and humid weather in the UK. Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda all suffered from chilblains. At night, they were wrapped in two sweaters, woolen trousers and Even though he was wearing a military coat, he felt clammy and cold all over.

Life is also extremely inconvenient.

Liang Chaowei and Chen Baiqiang encountered almost all the difficulties they encountered.

Originally, Leslie Cheung and Chen Baiqiang had said that maybe Liang Chaowei and the others would be able to enjoy the treatment of villagers helping to cook for the second time, instead of having to cook by themselves every day like the two of them.

But when they arrived in the village where their school was located, in addition to having better housing, better bedding and lighting, they actually still had to cook their own meals.

The reason is that Yin Jun specifically said that since he is here to be a volunteer teacher, he cannot do anything special. He should be responsible for his own daily life like ordinary volunteer teachers.

Yin Jun has said this, but the local village chiefs and township chiefs have nothing to do. After all, the film crew is still here, and they will stop the villagers from cooking for the celebrities.

What annoys Liang Chaowei and the others the most is that this group of film crew members are enjoying themselves very much. They bought vegetables, meat, fruits and vegetables in Shilibaxiang, and entrusted the villagers to prepare delicious food for them. Everyone started to enjoy themselves every time it was time to eat. , forming a strong contrast with a group of celebrities who can only make their own fires and cook.

At first, Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda were very happy.

Because they expected the difficulty of coming to the countryside this time, they specially prepared hundreds of boxes of Kirin instant noodles. Although most of them were prepared for children's midnight snacks, it seemed that they could enjoy them first.

But I didn’t expect there were many more.

It’s okay to eat a pack of instant noodles every once in a while on weekdays, or to satisfy your hunger when you’re busy.

But if you only eat instant noodles for three meals a day, plus a snack in the evening, it will be a kind of torture.

After only eating for a week, Liang Chaowei and Zhang Manyu surrendered and decided not to eat instant noodles anymore. They would rather cook some vegetables, stew some meat, and eat them with Qianzhou's hot and sour chili sauce, which they both thought was better than instant noodles.

Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengdada persisted for three more days, and then joined them.

The three meals a day for those children come from funds allocated by the "Kilin Foundation". They bought vegetables, meat, fruits and vegetables, and asked about ten families in the village to contribute their own efforts to cook them three meals a day.

But for late-night snacks, they preferred to eat instant noodles brought by four teachers from Xiangjiang.

Whether it was braised beef noodles, braised chicken noodles with mushrooms, spicy cabbage ramen, or tom yum noodles, they all ate happily and drank every drop of the soup.

They were so satisfied that the four of them couldn't understand it. Then with full of doubts, they went back and continued to eat the three meals that they had cooked that were not very delicious.

In the end, it was the half-grown children who looked at their sad faces and took the initiative to come over to help. Those who cut vegetables, those who cooked, those who cooked, took on the task of preparing three meals a day for them. .

There is also a loophole in the rules here.

Although it is impossible for the villagers to help them cook, the children are not adults, so they can help without restrictions.

As for their cooking skills...

Until 2020, many children in rural areas began to do farm work at the age of seven or eight, let alone rural children in the 1980s.

Basically, among the 10-year-old children, there is no one who cannot feed pigs and chickens, no one who cannot chop firewood, and none who cannot cook.

The meals they cooked before might not be that delicious, but now there are all kinds of ingredients and seasonings in the kitchen. After these smart children tried it a few times, the dishes they cooked became better and better. It's getting better and better, making a group of teachers feel guilty and embarrassed, but they are also satisfied with their food.

For these four people, except for Zhang Manyu, who has not had a hard time playing a small role?

Liang Chaowei was thrown into Jiashi by Yin Jun at that time. He was also a person who was busy acting all day long, so apart from the hard work of eating and accommodation, it was not too difficult.

After solving the problem of eating, they felt at ease in teaching students.

They had made a lot of preparations before coming. Not only did they read the current mainland textbooks, but they also discussed the specific aspects they would be responsible for.

Among them, Zhang Manyu is definitely responsible for English and music, and she also takes the lead in the dance classes every night.

Liang Chaowei is smarter than Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda, so he is responsible for mathematics, Wu Mengda is responsible for Chinese, and Zhou Xingchi is responsible for painting and playing games.

After such a round of division of labor and cooperation, the students' learning was soon on track.

Liang Chaowei and the others were more prepared than before, and Qianzhou was also fully prepared this time.

Before the Spring Festival, Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang's support teaching was only for children from several nearby villages, and the number did not exceed 60.

But this time Qianzhou actively mobilized student resources, and 180 students from two nearby townships and 12 villages came at once.

They live in the village where the temporary school is located, and only go home once a month. Accommodation and other accommodation are in the villagers' homes, which does not cost a lot of money, and the Qilin Foundation pays for everything. The villagers You can still make a fortune, so why not do it.

Kylin TV chose the most remote mountain village in Qianzhou twice, which is not even accessible by car. You can only take a donkey cart to get out of the mountain, and then you have to walk a long way down.

Such a remote place is not only impoverished, but also has no universal access to educational resources.

Therefore, these 180 students do not go to school at all on weekdays. Only some literate parents help teach some simple numbers and characters. They cannot fully teach addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

So this is a rare opportunity for them to get basic education.

Not only now, but the village where Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang were last time has built beautiful school buildings, dormitories and stadiums, everything you need.

There are even five or six teachers recruited from outside. They are not officially included in the establishment, but their salary subsidies are all provided by the Kirin Foundation. Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang donated 10 million Hong Kong dollars to the Kirin Foundation when they returned to Hong Kong. , hoping to be used on more poor children.

The salary subsidy for these rural teachers is not low. In a poor province like Qianzhou, the average salary is less than 50 yuan per month. However, the Kirin Foundation gives them a basic salary of 100 yuan, and they receive an additional 2 months of salary every six months. The salary allows them to go home to reunite with their families during winter and summer vacations, and take their relatives to travel outside.

In addition, for every year of working here, the monthly salary will increase by 10 yuan. If you work for 10 years, it will be 200 yuan per month. The salary is terrifyingly high.

Of course, the inflation factor will still be taken into consideration. When civil servants start to increase their salaries in the 1990s, the Kirin Foundation will naturally increase their salaries accordingly. We cannot let rural teachers work hard and be unable to support their families. ?

In addition, their food and accommodation are shared with their children without spending a penny. If their children and wives are here, they can also enter the school for free and eat, which is also an excellent benefit.

Even each spring, summer, autumn and winter will give out a set of clothes and shoes.

This means that they don’t have to spend a penny at all, their wages are all pocketed, and they can save at least more than 1,000 yuan in a year.

With such good conditions, those who can pass the teaching qualification are naturally willing to give it a try.

Now that the promises have been fulfilled, more high school graduates without formal jobs have set their sights on rural teachers.

The teachers of this era are really not as knowledgeable as later generations. After all, they have not learned much after going through so many years of neglect.

But it is more than enough to teach primary school children.

And this is also the main reason why this temporary star teacher has gathered a total of 180 students to teach.

Now in the open space next to the village, hundreds of workers are building a comprehensive primary school day and night.

After Liang Chaowei and the others leave, dozens of formal teachers will study and live in the school with the children, helping them to complete at least six years of primary school.

That is true systematic education.

What Liang Chaowei and the others are doing now is just enlightenment and charity. If they were taken to take the exam, they would not be able to pass the test at all.

They also knew this, but the four of them still taught very seriously.

As long as the heart calms down, it is easy to feel the loveliness of children, and you will love them more and be willing to do more for them.

Even Liang Chaowei and Zhou Xingchi, two people who are obviously a bit withdrawn and selfish at heart, have inevitably undergone a lot of changes.

Apart from anything else, there are so many more smiles coming from the bottom of my heart!
