My name is Lin Xiangqin, I am 32 years old, and I am a primary school Chinese teacher.
In the morning, I was arranging my shift at the school gate as usual, and I saw a strange girl standing outside the school gate, looking very pitiful.
The girl raised her head, her eyes were red, and she whispered, "Hello teacher, my name is Bai Xue, and I am a new student in the first grade." But I didn't dare go to school.
I squatted down and asked her softly, "Xuexue, why don't you dare to go in?" The teachers and children in the school are very friendly.
Bai Xue lowered her head and said in a low voice: "My mom and dad had a quarrel yesterday, and mom said I was a piece of garbage and told me to get out."
I was very distressed, looking at her thin body and frightened appearance, she should have suffered a lot at home.
I comforted her softly: "Xuexue, don't be afraid, I'm here." Mom is angry, you are still so young, how can you be garbage! Come, come in with me and sit down for a while, drink warm milk, and then I'll send you home.
Bai Xue nodded and followed me into the office. I poured her a glass of warm milk and asked her softly, "Do you often quarrel like this at home?" ”。
Bai Xue took a sip of milk, choked up and said, "Well, my father goes out to work all year round, and every time I come back, I will quarrel with my mother."
Sometimes when we were hungry, they wouldn't cook for us.
I feel very uncomfortable, although domestic violence incidents occur from time to time, but I can't help but feel sad after experiencing what happened to this student.
At this time, a thin girl ran into the office and said anxiously, "Teacher Lin, where did Bai Xue go?" The class bell has been ringing, and Teacher Sun asked me to come to her! ”
It turned out to be Bai Xue's tablemate Li Chunmei. Bai Xue saw Li Chunmei, lowered her head, and said, "I'm sorry, Chunmei, I didn't mean to be late.
Li Chunmei saw the tears on Bai Xue's face, and immediately became much softer: "Bai Xue, what's wrong with you?" Is someone bullying you? You tell me, who bullied you! ”
I hurriedly explained: "Chunmei, Bai Xue has a little cold today, I took her to drink some hot milk, you go back to class first, Bai Xue will come soon."
Li Chunmei nodded, told Bai Xue to rest well, not to be reluctant, and went to class.
Bai Xue watched Li Chunmei leave, her eyes flashed: "Teacher, Chunmei is so good to me, she always helps me take notes during class, and often sends me home after school."
I watched her regain some energy, and said, "If you encounter something unhappy in the future, talk to Chunmei and ask her to help you."
We, the teachers, will protect the students.
Bai Xue nodded and wiped her tears with a tissue: "Thank you, teacher, I know that if I miss the first class, the teacher will criticize me."
I nodded approvingly: "Good boy, it's a good thing to know that mistakes can be corrected." Go ahead, I'll write you a note, and the teacher won't embarrass you.
After sending the snow away, I couldn't calm down for a long time. A little girl, only 7 years old, has to endure such a painful family environment, which is really unbearable for me.
At lunchtime, I went to the principal, Master Sun, and told her about Bai Xue's situation. Master Sun was also distressed when he heard this: "Such domestic violence incidents occur from time to time, and we, as teachers, need to protect our students.
I asked, "Master Sun, do you just turn a blind eye and let Bai Xue continue to suffer domestic violence?" She is only 7 years old and needs the love of her family.
Master Sun sighed, "I understand your feelings, Teacher Lin. However, as a school, we must also keep a low profile and not act recklessly, so as not to cause more harm to students and parents.
I wanted to say something, but Master Sun stopped me: "Teacher Lin, I know you have love, but the school has a relevant process.
Although I was unwilling, I could only nod.
After school, I saw Bai Xue walking out of the school gate silently alone, and I couldn't help but stop her: "Xue Xue, I'll send you home."
Bai Xue looked up at me with a bitter face: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, but I want to walk alone." ”
I knew that she was preoccupied, so I said, "Then you pay attention to safety, and hit me at any time if you have any problems."
Bai Xue nodded and waved goodbye to me. I watched her thin figure fade away, and my heart was filled with sadness.
When I started class the next day, I found out that Bai Xue had taken a leave of absence. Her parents' call to ** was not answered. I finished the course early and went to the vicinity of Bai Xue's house, and found that the door of the room with a thin layer of dust was closed, and it looked like it had been vacant for a long time.
I inquired around the neighborhood and learned that Bai Xue and her younger brother had been abandoned by their parents in this dilapidated rental house and had lived on their own for half a year.
I was anxious and asked around about Bai Xue's whereabouts, and finally learned from an aunt who was collecting scrap that Bai Xue and her brother lived in a bridge near the train station.
I immediately rushed there and my heart was broken when I saw the dirty white snow hugging my crying brother.
Xuexue, how did you end up living here? Come back to school with me, and the teacher will find you a place to live! I said anxiously.
Bai Xue cried and said, "Teacher, you can let us stay here." I always felt like I was at school. I don't want to be ridiculed by other classmates.
I crouched down and hugged her and whispered, "I understand your feelings, but it's too dangerous for you and your brother to live here."
I promise you that I won't let anyone know. I'll figure it out tomorrow, okay? ”。
Bai Xue finally nodded, and went back to school with my brother. I quietly settled them into the infirmary and told the nanny to take good care of them.
That night, I had insomnia until late at night, and my mind was full of what happened to Bai Xue and my brother. A delicate girl suddenly falls into the streets, which should not have happened in the current society.
The next morning, I went to the infirmary and saw two children sleeping soundly. My aunt told me that Bai Xue hugged her brother and cried for a long time last night, but she was strong enough to hold back her tears and comfort her brother.
Before class, I approached Principal Sun and insisted that the school must help Bai Xue. Seeing that I was emotional, Principal Sun expressed his understanding and support, but reminded me to be cautious in the process.
At night, Bai Xue suddenly said that she missed her mother, threw herself into my arms and cried bitterly. She choked up about her mother's usual cold words and violence, but she still couldn't help but miss it.
At this moment, it was as if I had become a mother she could rely on.
The next day, Principal Sun informed the Civil Affairs Department that Bai Xue had taken over their case, but that they would have to wait for some time due to the lack of beds in the welfare home.
It wasn't easy for Shirayuki and her brother to live in my house, so I decided to take them to rent an apartment off campus.
However, the good times did not last long, and a month later, the civil affairs department suddenly notified that a welfare home had been arranged for Bai Xue and them.
With a painful feeling, I personally sent Bai Xue and my younger brother to the welfare home. Although the children were reluctant, they quickly adapted to life here.
I was also relieved that the two children's eyes had rekindled a light of hope.
I still visit them every weekend and bring some daily necessities and school supplies. Bai Xue gradually opened up in the new environment, made good friends, and improved her grades quickly.
In this way, with the joint efforts of me and the teachers at the welfare home, Bai Xue and my younger brother's lives are finally on the right track, and I am also very gratified.
After Bai Xue and her younger brother entered the welfare home, I went to see them on time every weekend. At first, Bai Xue was still a little uncomfortable with group life, and often sat alone in the corner in a daze.
Gradually, Bai Xue's personality opened up a lot, made good friends, and her life became richer.
One weekend, I went to the welfare home as usual to look for Bai Xue, but was told that she had taken leave to go home to visit her family. I was a little worried, and when I asked why, the dean told me: "Bai Xue's parents are divorced, and her father has remarried and wants to take Bai Xue home to live together."
I was surprised, but I was also worried about whether this father, who often used domestic violence, had really reformed himself. The dean said that for now, he could only trust Bai Xue's father's promise, and if the situation was not good, Bai Xue could come back at any time.
A week later, Bai Xue returned, but the whole person looked preoccupied. I asked her to talk in the garden, and she threw herself into my arms and cried.
Bai Xue was very aggrieved, crying and saying that she never wanted to go back.
I comforted her softly and said that I would discuss with the dean to minimize the time she could spend going home without affecting her rights and interests.
After that, in addition to the legal time for family visits, I tried my best to let Bai Xue live in a welfare home. Through the careful care of my teachers and me, Bai Xue gradually came out of the shadows and made great progress in her grades.
Two years later, Bai Xue graduated from elementary school and wanted to continue her studies in another middle school. The night before parting, she came to my house and gave me a wooden bracelet engraved with "Teacher Lin", which she made in her handicraft class.
I will always remember your warmth and study hard to get admitted to university! ”。
I couldn't hold back my tears and hugged her tightly. Before leaving, Bai Xue looked back at the door of the welfare home, and there were tears in her eyes.
Sure enough, after the college entrance examination, Bai Xue excitedly told me that she had been admitted to the education major of the provincial key university and won a full scholarship.
Eight years of emotional dedication have finally paid off.
During college, Bai Xue has always been diligent and studious, and often works part-time to earn living expenses. Come to me to volunteer during the winter and summer vacations.
Four years passed in a flash, and Bai Xue successfully graduated. On this day, she ran to my house in high spirits and said excitedly: "Teacher Lin, I was admitted to the primary school we met and became a Chinese teacher!" This job is my dream, and I will definitely put all my heart and soul into loving my students and being a watchman on their path in life, just like you have done to me! ”。
Bai Xue was a teacher at the elementary school we met, and I was extremely gratified.
On the first day of school, I went out of my way to visit her at school. I saw Bai Xue wearing a simple white shirt, standing on the podium to introduce herself to the new students, with brilliance in her eyes.
Sure enough, a month after the start of school, Bai Xue was generally welcomed by children and parents. Whenever she saw me, Bai Xue excitedly shared with me the interesting stories she encountered or the knowledge she gained in the process of teaching.
I am genuinely happy to see this cute little girl grow into an excellent teacher.
One day after school, Bai Xue came to my office with a look of embarrassment. I asked her with concern what was wrong.
It turned out that the teachers were going to form an amateur choir and participate in the county's teacher talent competition. Bai Xue likes to sing, and she can't shirk the teacher's kindness, but she is worried that she is not good enough to sing and will drag everyone down.
I understood Bai Xue's dilemma, so I persuaded her to try boldly, as long as she tried her best, and she didn't need to be too obsessed with success or failure.
After hearing this, Bai Xue finally nodded and decided to join the choir.
A month later, Bai Xue came to school one day and excitedly told me that the training of their choir was going well, everyone cooperated tacitly, and the vocal teacher also appreciated Bai Xue's singing voice.
The county teacher talent competition was held as scheduled, and Bai Xue's choir won the second prize, and Bai Xue was praised by the judges alone.
I laughed and complimented her on her talent for singing, she blushed and smiled shyly, and we hugged and laughed like old friends.
Sure enough, Bai Xue played well in the competition, impressing the audience with a moving singing voice and winning the championship. She excitedly typed ** to tell me the good news, her voice full of excitement and pride.
At that moment, I seemed to see the long-standing trauma in her heart get **. I know that this is not just a success in a competition, but an important turning point in her life.
After that, Bai Xue added a lot of sunshine and positive energy to her life. Not only has she become a star teacher at the school, but she is also often invited to sing on various occasions.
She was confident on the stage, which was in strong contrast to the crying little girl back then. I feel that the most positive and beautiful power in life is growth.
