Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

The educated youth who were admitted to the university left in a carefree manner, waving their sleeves without taking a cloud with them, leaving behind only the empty podium of the production team's primary school and a group of bewildered students.

You may ask, how come those few educated youth who were admitted to universities ended up with no one to teach?

The production team primary school had five grades in total, each with a class of 20 to 30 students. The smallest class had only 15 students.

The primary school is not spacious. It is located in the ancestral hall of the Yang clan. In addition to the main hall used to display the archways of ancestors, there are four rooms on the left and right.

One room is used as the teacher's office, and the other three are classrooms. Except for the fifth grade which has a separate classroom, each classroom has two classes.

There were only four teachers. He Yanqing and Yun Shu were admitted to university and left. The other two teachers were Zhao Wei and Liu Yongjun, both of whom were educated youth.

Some of the educated youth left, while others were also getting restless and no longer focused on their work.

Yang Anzhang went to talk to Zhao Wei and Liu Yongjun, hoping that they would work diligently and be dedicated to their jobs before leaving.

Knowing that there was a shortage of teachers in primary schools, many families with children in school suggested that Chunni be asked to teach.

Chun Ni is smart and has a junior high school diploma, so she can teach a little kid. She is still a native of Lion Rock and can't run away. The monk can run away, but the temple cannot.

This group of honest farmers were disappointed by the educated youth.

Chunni happily accepted Yang Anzhang's commission, teaching is much better than doing farm work.

As for the vacancy of one teacher, Yang Anzhang said there was really no suitable one.

It was impossible for him to find the educated youth again, as they might return to the city one day. He searched the village again and again, and found that the few high school and junior high school graduates had all gone to the city to work as workers.

What can I do? I can only play both the role of a father and a mother, teaching both Chinese and mathematics!

The new teacher Chunni took over the teaching of Chinese and mathematics to first and second graders.

Liu Yongjun and Zhao Wei took over Chinese and mathematics for grades three, four and five.

As a student of her own, Chunni was naturally loved by her students. When she became a teacher, Donglin was like a wild horse that could not be tied down. There was no other way, so Chunni put the wild horse into the stable and followed the first-grade students to attend classes.

"Stand up!" The oldest child in the class stood up first. "Hello, teacher!" Almost thirty students from two grades in one classroom shouted in unison, which was quite shocking.

"Hello, students!" Chunni, who was standing on the podium for the first time, was a little nervous.

But when she saw the students looking at her with wide eyes, Chunni suddenly stopped being nervous. She knew most of these students.

"Let's call the roll first and see which students haven't been here this semester." Chunni began to call the roll one by one.

The first task Chunni received when she became a teacher was not to start teaching immediately, but to count the number of students.

Last year's natural disasters almost wiped out the little savings of many families. In the face of hunger and cold, they are unwilling to send their children, especially girls, to school.

Therefore, not only in the first and second grades, but also in almost every class of the entire production team primary school, there were students absent. This phenomenon occurred not only in Shizishan, but also in the entire Tuo County and even in the surrounding areas.

Chunni had no choice but to visit each student's home according to last year's student list, hoping to persuade parents to allow their children to return to school. However, the results were minimal.

Chunni had no choice but to discuss with Yang Anzhang that for those very poor families, they could consider exempting their tuition and miscellaneous fees. In this way, these poor families can reduce their burden and give their children the opportunity to receive education. Although this decision will have a certain impact on the school's finances, it is also to help those students who really need help.

As a result, several people returned from Chunni's first and second grades.

Chunni was helpless about the other students who dropped out of school.

There were a few studious kids who crouched under the classroom window and eavesdropped, but Chunni pretended not to notice and let them learn. How much you learn depends on yourself.
