Chapter 223 Arrival
Tang Yimo suddenly remembered a movie he had seen.
"It should be dazzled by the headlights, try turning off the lights."
Fan Boran turned off the headlights, and the silver moonlight immediately covered the entire mountain like a layer of tulle.
The buck seemed to have finally regained its eyesight, shook its head, jumped lightly, and jumped into the bushes in the valley.
Fan Boran turned on the lights again, stepped on the accelerator, and drove forward.
Tang Yimo reminded: "You drive slowly, because you are afraid of some animals jumping out in front of you."
"Yeah. I know."
After driving on the mountain road for another half an hour, a road sign pointing to the right appeared in front of it, with four mottled characters of "Yilou Primary School" written on it.
Fan Boran shouted excitedly: "Aha, it's finally here!"
He quickly turned the steering wheel to the right and drove onto the potholed path.
A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of a dilapidated gatehouse. On the gatehouse, the four large vermilion characters "Yilou Primary School" were clearly legible.
Fan Boran and Tang Yimo got out of the car and moved their almost numb limbs.
"Hello, Teacher Chen?" Fan Boran started calling.
"We've arrived, right at the gate of the school."
"Okay, okay, don't worry."
Soon, a man in his 50s wearing glasses hurried over. While unlocking the iron door, he said "Welcome" to Fan Boran and Tang Yimo repeatedly.
Fan Boran rushed to meet him, took out a flower seed, and handed it to the man.
"Teacher Chen, smoke a cigarette."
Teacher Chen waved his hand: "No, no, I quit a long time ago."
"Oh, I really didn't expect it. Four supporting teachers came here at once. The students will definitely be overjoyed."
Tang Yimo asked curiously, "Teacher Chen, are there any other teachers here?"
Teacher Chen sighed: "Let's all go, this poor and remote place, without development, can't keep people at all!"
Tang Yimo nodded slightly, feeling a sense of respect for the disgraced teacher in front of him.
"By the way, didn't the other two support teachers come with you?"
Fan Boran replied: "Oh, they drove another car, it should be here soon."
Teacher Chen thought for a while and said, "Then let me show you the room first."
The two followed Mr. Chen into the school, and when they looked around, they couldn't help being slightly surprised.
It turns out that this elementary school is so small!
The school has a zigzag layout, and it doesn't look as big as a standard playground.
Teacher Chen pointed to the two sides and said, "There are three classrooms on each side. The first one on the right is the first grade classroom, and the last one on the left is the sixth grade classroom."
Tang Yimo scratched his chin in doubt: "But you are the only teacher here? How can you teach six classes of students at the same time?"
Teacher Chen smiled bitterly: "That's right, my current solution is to teach students in each grade one day. For example, on Friday today, only students in grade five will be taught, and all other grades will be in the class self-study."
Tang Yimo's eyes widened in disbelief: "I can only take one class a week, so can I learn something?"
"Oh, there's no way to do this. It would be great if only a few teachers could come."
Tang Yimo came to the outside of the first grade classroom, and looked inside with the help of the corridor lamp above his head.
The "desks" inside are rows of long strips of wooden boards, framed on two mounds.
There are no benches under the desks, probably the students brought them from home when they went to school.
The blackboard is made of several wooden boards, with two through cracks in the middle, nailed to the wall with iron nails.
The plaster on the walls was badly mottled, and there was no electric fan on the roof.
It is conceivable that it must be as hot as a stove in summer.
"In front is the teacher's office and dormitory. You can live here for the next two days."
Teacher Chen pointed to a row of bungalows in front, with about a dozen doors, probably when the school was built with the intention of recruiting more than a dozen teachers.
Just as he was about to take the key to open the door, Teacher Chen's phone rang suddenly. It was Li Zheyu and Qin Mengyao who had arrived.
"I'm coming to pick you up."
Teacher Chen said, striding towards the outside of the school gate.
Tang Yimo immediately faltered, looked around, as if looking for a place to hide himself.
Fan Boran smiled and turned his head to Tang Yimo: "What are you still doing in a daze, let's go meet them too."
Tang Yimo wrinkled her small face: "I... I am a little afraid."
"What are you afraid of! I'll explain to them later."
The two trotted to catch up with Mr. Chen, and soon arrived outside the school gate.
Brother Wu was already standing aside and smoking a cigarette.
After Li Zheyu and Qin Mengyao greeted Teacher Chen, they immediately set their eyes on Tang Yimo and Fan Boran's faces.
The mouths of both of them have opened into a big O shape.
After being stunned for a long time, Li Zheyu asked in disbelief: "You...how are you here?"
Upon hearing this, Teacher Chen also pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose in astonishment, and turned his head to look at Tang Yimo and Fan Boran.
Are you not together?
Fan Boran took a step forward, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Why, the state officials are only allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps?! It is a very meaningful thing to come to this mountainous area to support education, and we naturally have to do our best .”
Qin Mengyao glared at Fan Boran angrily: "Are you chewing gum? You can't let it go, right?!"
As she spoke, Qin Mengyao swept Tang Yimo's face lightly with her gaze, and the temperature in her eyes dropped rapidly.
It seems that all the beautiful imaginations about the next two days will be shattered because of Tang Yimo's arrival!
As for Li Zheyu, after the initial shock passed, joy began to overflow from the corners of his eyes and brows.
It was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for Tang Yimo to come.
He was worrying about how to keep a proper distance from Qin Mengyao for the past two days, but now that Yimo came, all these things were solved easily.
Brother Wu threw away the cigarette butt, and raised his chin at Fan Boran.
"You drove this car?"
Fan Boran nodded.
"That's great. I'm wondering if I should stay here for two days. Then I will trouble you to bring them back to Qing'an City."
Fan Boran immediately agreed.
"Then I'll go back now, goodbye."
Li Zheyu quickly grabbed Brother Wu: "It's too late now, and it's too unsafe to drive for three hours."
Teacher Chen also echoed: "The mountain roads here will be haunted by wild animals at night, so it's really unsafe. The school dormitory is still enough. Otherwise, brother, let's make do with it for one night."
Qin Mengyao also said, "Yes, Brother Wu, there is no delay in starting tomorrow morning."
Brother Wu rubbed the goatee on his chin: "Okay, let's start tomorrow morning."
