"I did not study hard in the year. Nowadays, the boiler workers are also tired of pushing the charcoal, and the slag is not easy to smoke. Call the students, teachers should listen carefully, do not listen to the wind, fate is good in high school, otherwise you are not as good as boiler workers, at least you can not work hard. Feng Xinru
a few words,
or because of his low level of culture, some words will not write
because the heating boiler will burn up to 11 in the night, and start to burn at 4 a.m. on the second day. The warm boiler in the fifth middle of Laiwu is old Chen and Lao Liu. Two people take turns to take care of them.
at 2 p. m. on December 9th, old Chen Biping came to school for more than an hour and put down his motorcycle. He saw the first sentence of the reporter, "did I make a mistake?" It turned out that Lao Chen had heard that a reporter wanted to interview him. He thought there was something wrong with his feelings. He was worried about getting into trouble. After hearing the negative answer, Lao Chen was relieved.
open the door of the boiler room, old Chen pointed to the chalk on the door, laughing and saying, "this is the last two days I have written, I want to take myself as an example, to teach students to study well."
"don't look at these simple words, but it took me a lot of time and I wrote for a long time." Old Chen said, because of his own low level of culture, some words will not write, "'otherwise you are not as good as the boiler worker'. I would have written 'otherwise', 'no' and 'mouth' word will be written, but the word '" will not write, want to write pinyin, it is not good at the time of learning and not Pinyin. I have to change to "otherwise". I am afraid that I am wrong about the word "ran". Lao Chen pointed at the altered script on the door and scratched his head awkwardly.
not long after that, the students came round and read the sentences written by Lao Chen. They said with a big mouth, "Grandpa, this is what you wrote." "Lord, you have a talent." "Lord, you're going to fire." Lao Chen told the students to study hard, not to be a boiler worker like him, but to lead reporters to the hut next to the boiler house.
"after opening the machine, there is gas in the boiler room. We are all resting here." A room about 10 square meters, with three beds, Chen sat on the bed edge of one of the beds, and began to tell his regrets. "I often see that some students do not study hard, and others sneak out in class. That day I sat by the stove and thought of my school situation. I thought a few words, and I wanted to tell the students that I would regret it if I didn't study now. Lao Chen said he was a negative example of not going to school properly.
when I was a child, I didn't get to school
I did not learn much knowledge in school, nor did it realize that learning would be linked to the fate of his own later
old Chen was born in 1951. At that time, new China was just set up.
3 brothers and four sisters. Although family combinations were common at that time, the burden was much heavier than imagined. Lao Chen is the fourth child in his family. He has a brother and two sisters on it. "
" as a soldier in high school when he was in high school, he also studied and studied and assigned work. Now he has retired and has a pension every month, and it is very comfortable. " In addition to the eldest brother in the family, other siblings are not as learned as Lao Chen. In the eyes of Lao Chen, the elder brother is an example.
"I did not go to school when I was a child, when my big brother went to the army, more brother and sister at home, and no labor, I thought about sharing some of my family. I didn't know much about school and I didn't think how important it was to go to school. After talking about his brother, the light in old Chen's eyes became weak. "Because I had to look after my younger brother and sister at home, I didn't go to grade one in primary school and went directly to grade two."
Lao Chen goes to school late and has to take care of his younger brother and sister while he goes to school. Every day after school, the school teacher will let the old man stay and learn a little more. Before long, Chen Chen slowly followed. "At that time, catching up with famine, not enough to fill the stomach, I couldn't feel at ease to learn. After I finished primary school, I didn't go to junior high school. Now I think I regret it. Why don't I go to school? Three years of famine, and after the subsequent cultural revolution, Lao Chen did not learn much knowledge at school, nor realized that learning would be linked to the fate of his own future.
when the whole life of the farmer
originally want to study well, but my bottom is poor, many lessons can not understand, especially arithmetic, listen to the book like the book
after school, Lao Chen is working together with his parents at home, "the elder brother is a soldier, the family is not working, then the collective production team, to be a collective production team. I also work to earn the work points. "
Lao Chen is careful and fearless in his work, and the village cadres are willing to shoulder heavy responsibilities. "I remember the village cadres let me sort out the material of the villagers in the village, and I rode the only bicycle in the village to investigate their social relations." Later, Lao Chen became a militia platoon leader and a production custodian in the production team, leading the militia to train, rescue and watch the crops and crops.
but the poor cultural level has been the problem of old Chen. In the 70s of last century, Lao Chen's village joined another village and started a junior high school. Lao Chen also went to school. "I wanted to study hard, but my foundation was poor. I couldn't understand many classes, especially arithmetic and listening to sky books." Not long ago, Lao Chen went home
the last century in 80s, the collective production team was disbanded, the rural implementation of household production, package to household production responsibility system, old Chen also divided into the land.
Lao Chen has an eye and is not comfortable with the situation. At the age of 30, Lao Chen learned the technique of barber and opened a barber shop at home. "At that time, there were very few barber shops, because the old bridesmaids had their hair cut, and I learned the craft along with it." As the saying goes, "art is not a burden", Lao Chen and his wife are planting a barber shop.
30 years of haircut, old age, old Chen feel his eyes are not as good as they used to, and now more and more barber shops, they shut their own barber shop, border on the edge of odd jobs.
the hope of a child on the child disillusioned
the child's early study, the failure to go to college is also his heart's regret
to change his fate for the children and no longer repeat his life. Lao Chen once placed his hopes on his next generation. "Because I have no culture, I can only be a farmer, and after I have children, I think about letting them go to school, and I say to the children, as long as you want, I'll be for you all the time."
the child failed to make Lao Chen wish, "no one of the three children came out, and most of them dropped out of high school." Lao Chen said that his children had to go to school early and failed to enter the University, which was also a pity in his heart. "No knowledge, no way to go. I have eaten this loss and become a farmer for my whole life." Fortunately, it is no more than being a farmer before, and now can still work outside. " Old Chen said.
Lao Chen has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son drove away from junior high school. Unfortunately, he died in a car accident a few years ago. The little boy graduated from junior high school and did not go to senior high school. The same goes for my daughter. After graduating from high school, she took part in the work. Today, the youngest son and daughter have already got married, and have worked in Singapore for the past few years.
children are not around, Lao Chen and his wife are not idle. Apart from planting 5 mu of land at home, he does odd jobs outside the slack season. "No, it doesn't work in winter. I'll burn the boiler in the school, and it will end in March next year, just in time to catch up with the farm work and not delay the work."
for example, let's tell the students to have a good study on
how long has it been written? There are two students coming over to see that I still have a culture. I said if I had a culture, I wouldn't burn the boiler here. I want to teach you to study well
starting from 2013, Lao Chen has been in the fifth middle of Laiwu for three years, before and two friends in the dormitory as a building tube, also in charge of the winter heating boiler. Because of the pain of his wife's leg, he left his office building and burned the boiler for the school in winter.
for a long time in school, Lao Chen often recalls his school time. "At that time, I had to look after my sister-in-law and make work for my family, and I could learn how to learn it." Now, the conditions of students are very good. I often think that I will have the present conditions when I go to school. I guess I can not become a farmer. " Lao said, high school is the most important time. In school, there are students who do not study well, especially in his mind.
there is a pile of large chunks of coal outside the boiler room. The daily work of old Chen and Lao Liu is to smash the coal into small pieces and burn them in a boiler to give the school a warm winter.
turns to work on his turn. At 3:30 p. m., Lao Chen comes to the school's boiler room on time. "After the machine opens, I burn the stove and push the charcoal and prepare the coal for the night. Burn up to 10 in the evening, shut the stove, tidy up, go to the next house, sleep for a while, but have to fix the alarm clock, get up at 3:30 on the second day at 3:30, open the stove at 4, and then burn to about 9 in the morning, the day's work is finished. Burning 3000 pounds of coal in a night, pushing it all on its own. Can you be tired? " Lao Chen said he would go home and sleep until afternoon after work.
one day in early December, when Lao Chen said it was Sunday, he wrote his thoughts in the most prominent place in the boiler room. "Not long after writing it, two students came to see it and said I had a strange culture. I said if I had culture, I wouldn't burn the boiler here. I want to teach you to study hard. Don't be a farmer like me, be a boiler worker. The school teacher can retire for five thousand or six thousand months in a month, but I still do well in 4 months. Just now, Lao Chen looked at the time on his cell phone. "It's almost 3:30. I have to work." At the end of the story, he got up and went to the boiler room. Before going to the gate, I looked at my own words again.
"what I regret most is that I didn't go to school very well, and my culture was not high enough. I lost it all my life." The boiler worker was dirty and tired. When the machine opened, the room was full of ashes. Lao Chen said he picked up the darkened glove and counted the guy who worked hard. He motioned the reporter away.
walk out of the school gate and look back again. The chimney of the boiler room has already risen.
