19 years old, went to the village Xiaoshui Tongdong Primary School and became a substitute teacher. When I came to a school with airy walls and bumpy ground, my colleagues and I worked together to paste windows, dig dirt, move stones and level the playground. He personally made seesaws, horizontal bars and other sports equipment for students, and also worked as a chef. The children's smiles made him feel the joy of being a teacher.
However, his meager salary can't afford the normal expenses of his family. Family and relatives urged him to go out to work, and he also passed an interview with a company. At this time, student Chen Yadong's 80-year-old grandfather came to school with an egg in one hand and a cane in the other. He said tearfully, "Xiao Chen, who will come to this poor place after you leave?" ! What should babies do! "He stayed. From then on, his sister gave up high school, worked to support her family and helped her brother as a substitute teacher.
From then on, he worked in this school for 10 years, and he joined China with honor. After another primary school teacher was transferred, she took on all the work of the school alone. In order to earn money to support his family, he has to do farm work after school and go out to work in winter and summer vacations. It is this hard-won money that he spent on education. In order to always meet the needs of education and teaching, correspondence study for junior college students and undergraduates, as well as related teaching materials and Putonghua training have been conducted successively, and the cost is nearly 1.6 million yuan. 1.6 million yuan, which is really an astronomical figure for him!
There is always a reward for giving. As the number of students decreased year by year, in autumn of 2004, Shuitiandong Primary School was merged into Renheping Central Primary School, and Chen Jianchang was assigned to work in the school. Soon after, he was transferred to Renheping Middle School to teach chemistry. Thanks to hard work, he soon became familiar with the new business. In the senior high school entrance examination for four consecutive years, his class scored three second and one third in chemistry in the county. He also won many honors, such as a model teacher and an excellent teacher in Hubei Province.
He also has regrets and helplessness in his heart: as a son, because of his busy work, he let his elderly and sick mother take care of his disabled father alone; As a husband, he can't shoulder the heavy responsibility of a family, but also needs his wife to go out to work to maintain a basic life; As a father, he left his son without food after school. He missed his mother and had to go home and cry to his grandmother.
"Sometimes, I really want to go out to work by myself and let my wife go home to take care of the children and elderly and sick parents." But he always thought at once: What will the school do if I leave halfway and there is no chemistry teacher in the school? What will the students do? It's not just one person who is delayed, but a generation!
