After kicking out my ex-husband, his brother and I got back together.

Chapter 359 I Stay Here

When Xia Yizhen saw their honest smiles, she felt a little more relaxed.

When she was in the countryside, she could tell the villagers' attitude towards her from their smiles.

Everyone in this group looks tall and tall, but many of them have their chins clasped, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.

After a moment of excitement, the middle-aged man finally spoke again.

"Oh, Teacher Xia, you don't know, we have been waiting for you all day. I am afraid that like other teachers, you will find that our place is remote and stop coming. The children have to go to school, and there are too few teachers in the school. Can you come? It’s so good to be real.”

Xia Yizhen was a little confused. After she came to her senses, she waved her hands repeatedly.

"I'm not...not..."

"Oh, you don't need to say more. Let's go take a look at the school first. Although this is a mountain village primary school with inconvenient transportation, because it is funded by large companies, the school environment is still good. There are also classrooms and dormitories, and they are all clean."

At this time, Xia Yizhen was sure that these people had mistaken her for the teacher here.

Now, it seems that wherever she goes she will be considered a wanderer. Let's go check it out first. At least she will have a place to stay tonight.

If the real teacher comes tomorrow, she can just leave.

Along the way, several strong men enthusiastically carried boxes for her, but politely kept their distance.

During the conversation, she and the middle-aged man walked in the front, and she learned that this middle-aged man was the village chief and the principal of the primary school.

This village is called Haimo Village, and the primary school in the village is called Haimo Primary School.

Xia Yizhen followed the crowd and saw almost no young people, only a few old people.

It seemed that the people gathered around her were the most productive people in the whole village.

"I am 48 years old. I came here as a village official 20 years ago. I founded Haimo Primary School 15 years ago."

As the village chief walked, he chatted with Xia Yizhen.

Xia Yizhen was a little shocked.

"You have stayed here for so long, you must have deep feelings for the people in the village."

The village chief smiled and pointed at a few people behind him.

"Look, the youngest of these seven people is over 50 years old and has no education. The school is still short of a third-grade teacher. You are here just in time, otherwise we won't have enough teachers. I am There are a lot of people who know a lot of words here. If I leave too, this village will be really doomed."

As he spoke, his eyes dimmed.

Xia Yizhen has always known that it is difficult for children in the village to go to school and go out, but she did not expect that there are still people who are willing to stay here for decades.

Following the village chief and several people into the school, the village chief introduced her to the facilities in the school one by one.

"Our village has received subsidies in recent years and has been gradually renovated. The conditions now are much better than before."

Just in the middle of speaking, the village chief's cell phone suddenly rang. He made an apologetic gesture to Xia Yizhen, picked up the cell phone and went to answer the call.

Several villagers looked at the village chief and looked in Xia Yizhen's direction, and their expressions gradually darkened.

Xia Yizhen was still looking at the environment in the school and didn't notice the change in the village chief's expression.

When the village chief hung up the phone and came over, the apology on his face became even deeper.

He rubbed his fingers back and forth, pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time before walking up to Xia Yizhen and lowering his head to her again.

"Ms. Xia, I'm sorry, we brought you here without knowing everything."

Xia Yizhen knew that the village chief had learned that she was not a real support teacher.

But a man who was nearly fifty years old apologized to her, and she felt very sorry.

"Village Chief, you don't have to be so polite. I'm actually not angry."

she said quickly.

The village chief sighed and whispered.

"Teacher Xia, who was originally sent from the city, cannot come to teach due to family reasons." Other villagers also lowered their heads.

The village chief pointed to the teaching building and smiled bitterly again.

"But it's okay. It's not the first time. Our place is too remote. It's normal for people not to want to come. Miss Xia, if you don't mind, you can rest in the village for one night and leave tomorrow morning."

At that moment, Xia Yizhen suddenly wanted to stay.

She pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

"Village Chief, I'm actually... also a homeless person. I went to university in T city, and I also worked part-time as a tutor during my school days. I wonder if I'm qualified to be a teacher in our school?"

As soon as she said this, the village chief and several villagers, who had their heads drooped, suddenly raised their heads.

The village chief's eyes quickly filled with tears.

"Miss Xia, you really don't dislike us here..."

"No matter how different the place is, children are always eager to learn. I also hope to help more people."

During her most difficult time, her teachers, her...leaders all helped her.

Now facing this situation, she also wants to help these children.

That night, Xia Yizhen had dinner at the village chief's house.The village chief's wife specially killed a big goose and made soup for Xia Yizhen.

After dinner, the village chief's wife brought Xia Yizhen to the teacher's dormitory with brand new bedding and sheets, and thoughtfully helped her prepare all daily necessities.

Xia Yizhen lived here, teaching the children every day, eating with them, and occasionally visiting homes.

In less than a month, the classmates in the school already liked this new teacher very much.

The village chief is at school almost every morning, and goes to the village office in the afternoon to deal with village affairs. The children here have poor basic skills, so Xia Yizhen slowly teaches them from the basics.

In the village, she lived a busy and fulfilling life every day, but when she went to bed at night, she still thought of Feng Yian unconsciously.

……

Now, Feng Yian is chasing here again, and Xia Yizhen's gradually calm heart is rippled again.

"Teacher Xia, are you in a daze?"

The children in the class all gathered in front of Xia Yizhen, bringing Xia Yizhen's thoughts back to reality.

The sound of the engine could be heard outside, and Feng Yian was back.

It turned out that she had been alone in trance for so long.

Xia Yizhen had forgotten the questions her classmates had just asked her, and hurriedly walked to the balcony, took the remaining students, and put them into the car with Feng Yian.

It rained heavily on the mountain and everything was hazy.

Feng Yian was driving the car, and Xia Yizhen was sitting in the passenger seat next to him.

They sent the children home one by one. In places where cars could not enter, they discussed with the parents of the students and placed the children at their classmates' homes.

Everyone in the whole village knew each other, and when the parents saw the heavy rain, they were happy to let their children stay at their homes for a night.

"Teacher Xia."

When Xia Yizhen was about to send the last child in the car to a family near the roadside, the little girl looked at her timidly.

She turned around, and the little girl's eyes were filled with tears.

"What's wrong, Xiaojun?"

"I have to go home. My grandma is at home alone."

Su Xiaojun said while wiping tears.
