The second session schedule

  Ma Lixin walked outside the school to a place far away from the school, and saw that there were towering mountains, lush forests, and dense bamboo groves everywhere. Some places on the mountain had strange rocks, and occasionally, waterfalls could be seen in the middle of the mountain, which sometimes flowed out of the forest and sometimes flowed into the mountain.

  Looking further down the mountain, all the other mountains appear small. Looking even farther away, the rice paddies, cottages and roads are like toys for children. The mountain top has some mist, but the bottom is very clear. The morning glow fills the sky, but only the light can be seen, not its warmth.

  The temperature in the mountains was still quite low in the morning, yesterday it was summer down the mountain, but now he felt a bit chilly wearing short clothes. He wrapped his two arms around his chest, and on the highway below, which looked like a ribbon, occasionally a beetle-like vehicle crawled by.

  This is a good place to live. It's not early, he turned to the school, the small sales department hasn't opened yet, but the principal's family has gotten up, the principal looks very old, and the principal's wife isn't young either.

  The principal was more enthusiastic than last night, the principal's wife opened the back door of the small sales department, holding toothpaste, toothbrush, towel and basin, and said to him: "Teacher Ma, go wash up, after washing, we'll have breakfast right away, I've already prepared it."

  He thought of giving money, but the principal said: "You didn't bring anything for the first time, just use it first, and if you want to give it to him, pay your salary first." He brought some money from home when he went up the mountain. Now he has no money outside and is embarrassed to death. This is what his parents said at home, that he should be generous when he needs to be. However, after hearing the principal's words, his hand shrank back, so just give it next time, anyway, he won't leave here immediately.

  Speaking of which, he thought that staying here for at least a year was uncertain, and what would happen after a year was also unclear.

  In the morning, they had a meal with sweet potatoes mixed in. The sweet potatoes were indeed very sweet and would become even more filling when they ripened in autumn. When he saw the dishes, he thought that the principal's wife had put in some effort. There was a pan-fried fish, stir-fried pepper meat shreds, winter bamboo shoots, and chili powder stir-fried intestines.

  The principal took out a bottle of Jiangda wine, opened the cap and said: "Come on, you're here for the first time, have a couple of drinks. Today there's nothing to do, no school opening ceremony. Besides, from now on we'll be together." He said he didn't drink alcohol.

  But the principal said: "It doesn't matter, a man who doesn't drink will die like a dog, but if he drinks our wine, he'll live to be 99."

  "You should know that this wine is from our own home, don't be fooled by the Zhijiang Daqu label on the bottle, it's pure glutinous rice wine." The principal said with a proud face.

  He was also very embarrassed, after all, this was the principal's home, and he had gone against the principal's wishes on his first visit. He didn't want to do things this way. So he sat down on the stool, picked up his cup, and first toasted the principal. The principal was smiling from ear to ear at this time, while the principal's wife took some dishes outside to eat.

  He drank two bowls of wine and couldn't drink anymore, saying: "Principal, I really can't drink anymore." The principal said: "Okay, you just serve yourself rice to eat then." The principal himself drank a few more bowls and also ate rice.

  When the principal arrived at the office with the key, it was already 10 o'clock. The dust in the office was all over the table and floor, scattered books and waste paper were everywhere to be seen. A small pile of mouse droppings was trampled underfoot, soft and mushy.

  The principal pointed to a worn-out black desk and said, "You'll sit at that office desk." And as for your dormitory, I'll show it to you now. He followed the principal to a room at the edge of the school, but the principal couldn't open the door with the key after trying for a long time. The principal looked around for a rock and found one, using all his might to smash the lock. Unexpectedly, even after smashing it for half a day, it still wouldn't open. The principal was anxious and said, "You come now, this is your room. Take your time to tidy up."

  The door of the room opened and a foul smell rushed out. He hastily retreated several steps, covering his nose with his hand.

  After he calmed down, he saw that there were still piles of dry feces inside. The dried-up feces had become hard shells and were very difficult to clean up. Moreover, tonight was the night he would be sleeping in his own room, so it wouldn't be good to bother the principal's family again. At the same time, he also needed to solve the problem of food.

  He wanted to go and take a look at the stalls next to the school to see if there were any dishes for sale. Before long, he arrived there, fortunately, there was a butcher, two vegetable-selling women were about to leave, he immediately went up to buy two small dishes, cut some meat, and also bought some lard. Then he walked into the small shop run by the principal's wife to buy salt, flavor enhancer, and soy sauce. This time when he paid, the principal's wife did not decline and gave him change.

  But an important issue has not been resolved, that is what to use for cooking. There is no electric rice cooker or liquefied gas, so what can be used for cooking? Thinking about this, he went to ask the principal, who said "You can just eat at my house first, the things for cooking are all bought by myself, and the electricity bill is also paid by me, our school is small, there's no income, nothing can be done." The principal said this, so he took the vegetables he had just bought to the principal's house.

  The special bus for the afternoon education station arrived very early and brought books and homework.

  The pickup truck climbed the mountain pretty well, and it was the staff of the education station who came. The principal didn't come, they put down the books and didn't even say anything about paying or settling accounts before leaving. The principal said "Let's eat first before you leave", we'll have a drink. Those people said "We can't, we still have several schools to deliver to" and left. He and the principal helped move the books and exercise books to the office, the principal had just swept it clean and even sprinkled some water, there were still wet marks on the floor.

  The principal said to him: "We are now arranging for you to take charge of the first and second grades. What courses will be taught in the first grade, and what courses will be taught in the second grade?"

  He asked, "Isn't that just a repeat of the first grade's language and math, and the second grade's language and math? Isn't that just repetitive teaching?"

  "Yes, we have fewer students and teachers here, so we can only arrange it this way," said the principal.

  He only saw the teacher's class schedule on the wall of the office. There were seven teachers in total, one for each grade from first to fifth, and two for sixth grade. Originally, grades 1-2 weren't taught in a composite manner, so why am I being asked to teach alone now?

  Although he thought so, he still accepted it with pleasure. He had to listen to the principal's arrangement in order to do a good job in teaching, this is the first step, the principal is the head of the school after all.

  He just graduated from school and doesn't have the qualifications to haggle with the principal yet. Letting himself adapt to different teaching methods isn't a bad thing either. Thinking this way, he's actually quite happy.

  "He asked: 'Principal, give me textbooks and reference books, I want to prepare more.'"

  The principal said: "Don't worry, I haven't cleaned up yet. When I'm ready, I'll give you everything. Anyway, you're living here and can't leave. The other teachers are all from nearby and they go out early and come back late."

  He thought of himself having no electric rice cooker and no liquefied gas, and said: "Principal, when can I go buy some daily necessities?"

  "You just eat at my place for now, it's no big deal. We can talk about buying things later."

  He didn't want to say anything more. It seemed that he could only do what the principal said. Going down the mountain was not easy and would take a whole day, without the principal's approval, he couldn't leave.

  September 1st school registration. In addition, five more teachers arrived one after another. The head teacher, Director Pi, is a middle-aged person. There are two male teachers and two female teachers. Both of the female teachers are substitute teachers.

  The instructor was very kind and gave him textbooks, notebooks, and two pens, saying "do a good job" and since he's here, he should be at ease.

  It's better to tell the director that there are still some daily necessities that haven't been bought yet, and many things are not clear. As soon as he said this, the director said, "Isn't there a small sales department in our school? If you want to buy anything, just ask the principal's wife, she'll help you buy it."

  Yes, I didn't think of that myself. No wonder the principal always says not to rush when he talks about it. Well, spending some money will also make things easier for me.

  At noon, the principal treated everyone to a meal. All the teachers were present, and although there were only a few people, they made quite a lively scene when drinking. The principal didn't say much at this time, but the director was very attentive, toasting the principal and the teachers. Mali's capacity for liquor wasn't good, he could only manage to respond, without being able to counterattack.

  The director said, next time we will welcome our horse teacher like our help. He thought this was the director secretly asking him to host a guest again? He immediately took over and said: "Leaders and teachers, next time I'll buy vegetables and invite everyone to drink once." "Okay, okay," a male teacher said.

  After finishing dinner, he waited until the principal's wife had cleared the table and then said: "Please help me buy something."

  The principal said while busy, "Okay, make a list of what you want to buy." He went back to the office, took a piece of paper and wrote down what he wanted to buy. He gave it to her, she looked at it and laughed, saying: "You should write clearly which brand of rice cooker you want, otherwise if I buy one that you don't like or isn't good, what can we do? Besides, nobody here uses liquefied gas, you know how hard it is to fill the tank. Either buy an electric wok or a coal stove."

  "Is coal easy to buy here?" he asked. "There is a beehive coal shop next to the school." He then struck out the liquefied gas and wrote down buying a coal stove.
