Chapter 58 Chapter Twenty Nine

When I arrived in the village, I realized that the bus had to wait for more than an hour to arrive.How should we spend this time?After thinking for a while, he walked to the township middle school to see the teachers and the campus of that year. The campus has undergone great changes. The original two rows of old brick buildings have disappeared, replaced by tall teaching buildings that have risen from the ground.Brick walls were also built around the campus, and tall school gates were built.It's just that the ground of the playground is still sandy, and a cement road has been built in the middle.Li Binliang walked to the teaching building along this road, walked outside the classrooms on the first floor of the building, and walked along the windows one by one, just like the naughty students back then, secretly looking inside while walking.There are students in the classroom and teachers are lecturing.Looking at the scene inside, he was filled with melancholy and warmth.Back then, wasn't it the same for me, did I sit in the classroom and study?Look, that male classmate looks so focused, much like himself back then...

Outside a classroom window, he stopped, his heart jumping up excitedly.Inside, an old teacher with gray hair was giving lectures, and his familiar and powerful handwriting was written on the blackboard. It was him, his head teacher and language teacher back then.It was he who made himself fall in love with literature through his charming lectures, and it was he who encouraged himself to study literature, and it was he who changed his name from Li Wenliang to Li Binliang.Unexpectedly, after many years, he listened to the teacher's lecture again under such circumstances.He suppressed his excitement and wanted to listen carefully for a while, but suddenly someone behind him shouted sharply: "Hey, what are you doing?"

Li Binliang turned around and saw a man about his own age, wearing a neat suit, with wine thorns on his fat black face, he couldn't tell what his identity was.Li Binliang hastily explained apologetically: "I'm sorry, let me listen..." "What are you listening to?" The man snapped: "This is a school, what is there to listen to?!" Li Binliang was disgusted by this man's words, and before he could refute, the window of the classroom behind him opened, and the teacher's voice came from the room: "Principal, what's going on, there is a lecture in the room, please keep your voice down..."

Li Binliang turned around and shouted loudly: "Teacher, it's me, I'm Li Binliang..." "Ah, it's Binliang! Why are you here..." The teacher was overjoyed to see Li Binliang from the window, arranged for the students to study by themselves, and hurried out of the classroom. The teacher quickly walked out of the teaching building, shook hands with Li Binliang tightly, and introduced him to the man with a drunk face: "...this is Principal Ma of our middle school...Principal Ma, this is our high school graduate Student, by the way, you are still in the same class, don't you remember? He is the student with the highest test scores in our school for many years, and his name is Li Binliang!"

Only then did Li Binliang confirm that the person in front of him was surnamed Ma, he was the principal of the middle school, and he was also a classmate of his class.After listening to the teacher's words, I feel a little familiar.After hearing the teacher's words, Principal Ma still stared at Li Binliang with guarded eyes. He didn't calm down until he heard the teacher's introduction that he was from the Public Security Bureau and a criminal policeman, and turned around and left after a few words. I haven't seen you for a few years, the teacher is getting old.When I was in high school, although the teacher had gray hair on his head, he was still full of enthusiasm when he taught the class, and his figure was very tall and straight.Now, half of the hair has turned white, the wrinkles on the face have increased a lot, age spots have also appeared, the person is also very thin, and the spirit seems to be low.The teacher led him around the campus, chattering.Li Binliang asked the teacher about his living conditions and how much he paid.The teacher smiled wryly and told him: "It depends on the salary table, it's quite a lot, more than 1,000 yuan a month, but for those who actually get paid, 3,000 yuan a year is not bad!"

Li Binliang felt strange and asked what was going on.The teacher said: "How should I put it? The city finance really allocated this money, but the leaders of the township want to make political achievements, and take up this project and that project, which squeezes out the wages. And the previous project pays one, You can’t get back any money you throw out. In addition, you need money to buy a car and eat and drink. As a result, the teacher’s salary for three months a year is not bad. Your teacher’s wife doesn’t work. Salary, so, this life... No, I thought I could spend my old age in peace after retirement, and I wanted to visit the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland, but now I can't even eat... Fortunately, the school has a cram school for the exam. High school graduates who don’t go to college will hire me back and earn more than 200 yuan a month..."

It turned out to be like this.Li Binliang looked at the teacher's emaciated face, and couldn't help but think to himself, his monthly salary is more than 800 yuan, which is nearly 10,000 yuan a year. Adding his wife's salary, the total is 20,000 yuan, but it is still not enough. The teacher only has 3,000 yuan a year. Diverse, how to live?Unexpectedly, a teacher who has worked hard on the forum all his life is in such a situation when he is old.Seeing the teacher, he couldn't help but think of Tie Kun again, and compared these two completely different people: one is teaching and educating people, dedicated to doing good things for the society, and the other is trying to do everything possible to harm the society, but the lives of the two people are very different. There is a world of difference, the teacher who has done good deeds for the society all his life can hardly maintain his life in his old age, while Tie Kun, who has endangered the society and committed countless crimes, is a billionaire.

The teacher seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, shook his head sadly and said: "I am old, and I really can't accept the current social atmosphere. Okay, corruption in other industries can't be controlled, but the campus should be a pure land, but you Look, after so many years, the teaching quality of the school has not improved, but has declined. Why? Good teachers are not available, and children of various people are specially arranged, turning the school into a gateway to employment. No matter who it is, as long as they have Money, someone, and a fake diploma, you can be a teacher, at least one-third of the teachers in the school can't teach..." I looked around and saw no one, so I lowered my voice and continued: "Just now Look at the headmaster. He was the last student in the class when he was studying, but now he is the headmaster. He doesn’t care about the quality of teaching, he just knows how to go up. He was originally in the village through the back door. I became a cadre, but I didn't know how to mention it later, and I was transferred to be the principal the year before last. I heard that a man named Tie Kun in the city helped..."

Hearing this, Li Binliang was taken aback: I didn't expect to hear Tie Kun's name here. He is really everywhere, and he can even play a role in appointing the principal of his alma mater.At this time, he had followed the teacher to the back of the teaching building.The teacher continued: "Don't tell me, this man is also capable. After becoming the principal, he first built the teaching building. However, it didn't cost him money to build it. He managed the work in the village through the city. A policy was introduced to distribute the building building funds to each household in every village in the township by mu, and to collect them hard, and finally the collection was paid, and the building was built like this. Because of this, he also earned the title of an advanced principal at the district level."

Li Binliang glanced at the building and said: "No matter what, the building is still built. Although the masses have opinions, the conditions for running schools have been improved after all. This should be affirmed!" The teacher sneered: "You just see the building being built, but many of our teachers are still worried that they will be killed by it at some point. Come and see..." He led Li Binliang to the other side of the building, with his hands up One finger said: "Look, what is that?" Li Binliang saw that a long gap had appeared in the building.It is a few centimeters wide and is plastered with white cement.

The teacher said: "You see, the building has just been built for more than a year. This is still the surface, so there are no problems inside. The students and teachers are worried inside, and they are afraid that the roof will fall down someday... Tell me, is this a blessing or a crime, a political achievement or a crime? Why is the quality like this? You are a policeman, so you should know better than me. Said, don't just look at what projects he is engaged in, how many buildings he built, but also what his motivation is. Isn't there a saying now: "Leaders want to get rich, and work hard on construction"? Well done to construction, where is the building going? Once erected, everyone watched, and the political achievements came out without mentioning, and there were kickbacks to follow, how could we not work hard? By the way, I heard that the teaching building of our middle school was also built by Tie Kun's construction team. This He is really unusual, I heard that he is very rich, he has to take advantage of tens of millions, and he has a very good relationship with the leaders..." Listening to the teacher's words, Li Binliang's thoughts turned to Tie Kun again.It seems that this man is really a scourge of society, but everyone knows that he is a bad person, a moth that endangers society, but there is nothing they can do about him. The teacher continued: "Bin Liang, you are a policeman, so there is no law to govern them?" Li Binliang was speechless.The teacher's questions are too difficult to answer and too complicated, and some things are hard to explain clearly.Moreover, this is not a question of whether there is a law governing him, but a question of whether the law works for people like him. The teacher didn't use Li Binliang to answer, and continued his conversation. "Binliang, it's funny to say. When I'm free, I often take a group photo of the students of the previous year, thinking about how they were then and how they are now. What conclusion can you guess? Some of the students who were excellent in character and learning in those days Students often can't get along with those things that are nothing. Let's take you as an example. Our principal and you are graduates of the same class. You two are incomparable. One is in the sky and the other is in the world, but now he is the principal. , What are you... Yes, the instructor of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Public Security Bureau, what level is it? Sub-section, it’s okay, you still have a fight with him. But how can the two of you compare? However, there are students like you in the officialdom , I am somewhat comforted as a teacher. I often think, what if they are all people like them? I get scared when I think about it. Seeing you this time makes me feel much better. But then again , although the bad guys gain power, but too bad will not last long, and sooner or later they will be punished. Let's say Ji Baozi, he is in your class, he did all kinds of bad things in school, and it got worse in society, and he was finally shot By the way. By the way, it has been more than three years and almost four years. Did you go to the Public Security Bureau at that time? That kid was so bad back then, I remember, you two had a fight, right..." The teacher's words reminded Li Binliang of that year, as well as the dream of last night.Yes, back then, Ji Baozi dominated the campus and was famous throughout the town, and no one dared to mess with him.It was because he couldn't bear to see him bullying his classmates and insulting the teacher, so he made an enmity with him.One day after school, I had a hand-to-hand fight with him in the woods on my way home... At this time, the past scene appeared in front of his eyes again, and he seemed to be in that fight again, and his muscles tensed up. It was the third grade of junior high school, like spring.Because Ji Baozi specializes in fighting against classmates who are good at studying, he always finds faults and provokes himself.At first, he ignored it, but he thought he was weak and could be bullied, so he got worse and worse.The fuse of the conflict was that after Ji Baozi was criticized by his teacher, he actually smashed the glass in the teacher's house.After Li Binliang knew about it, he said a few injustice words, which reached Ji Baozi's ears.After school that day, he passed a small forest when Ji Baozi rushed out and attacked him.Ji Baozi is a well-known fighting king in the whole school. Everyone is afraid of him. Not only is he strong, but he is also very flexible and dares to kill. Although Li Binliang had never fought to the death with anyone, he often went to work in the fields, his body was also very strong, and he was not afraid of opponents psychologically, so although he was surprised, he quickly calmed down and fought bravely. Seeing that they were evenly matched, Ji Baozi saw that he couldn't take advantage of it, so he suddenly pulled out a large fruit knife from his arms and stabbed at him. What a serious injury.He was so angry that he broke off a stick to fight back.At this time, Ji Baozi's cronies and gangsters who were ambushing in the woods all rushed out and helped Ji Baozi beat him to death... In the end, although Ji Baozi barely won, he would not come to school from the next day I'm in school, probably because I think my opponent is strong enough.This battle was seen by some other students who were hiding in the woods and spread the word. Everyone admired Li Binliang very much.After the teacher knew about this, he said to him: "Many chivalrous men in ancient times were both civil and military. Give me a name, don’t call me Wenliang anymore. If a person is good at writing, he will often be bullied by those who are not good at fighting. You are both civil and military. From now on, you will be called Li Binliang!” In this way, from then on, Li Binliang began to use the current name. Thinking of this, Li Binliang laughed.He continued the teacher's words and said with emotion: "Yes, teacher, I think so too. The bad guys may gain power for a while, but they will not end well... I witnessed the process of Ji Baozi's being shot with my own eyes, from the prison to the public trial." From the meeting, to the execution ground, to the execution... At that time, I was in the political engineering department, and I recorded the whole process, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life..." The teacher continued: "I often think that all the students I have taught have taken different paths. Here, what responsibility should teachers take? What factors determine the path of life? Really, I sometimes blame myself, as a teacher, and even the class teacher, it is unreasonable to say that I have no responsibility!" "No," Li Binliang said, "I've thought about it. Teachers are important to a person's growth, but there is another person whose influence is more important, and that is the mother!" The teacher didn't seem to turn the corner, and turned his face to look at Li Binliang suspiciously.Li Binliang added: "What I said is that the mother has the greatest influence on a person's life path. For example, you have taught many students and taught them the same way. Why are their paths different? I think the mother's influence is Important reason. I have personal experience of this!" The teacher thought for a while, then nodded: "That makes sense, it's true. I don't know if you've seen Ji Baozi's mother. It was still in junior high school. Once I criticized Ji Baozi for being too good, and his mother went to school to make a big fuss. You can't even learn to scold. Really, can such a mother raise a good son?" Li Binliang also had an impression of what the teacher said. He still remembers the image of Ji Baozi's mother as a shrew swearing.At that time, he often thought, how embarrassing would he be if his mother was like this? !By the way, it seems that Ji Baozi's family lives in a village not far from his hometown.Thinking of this, I couldn't help asking the teacher: "How is Ji Baozi's mother now? Have you seen her?" Teacher: "Yes, she is still in good health, but she is a bit old, and she often comes to the countryside. Some people say that she often goes to restaurants. She lives with her youngest son. I heard that there is a nephew from far away. My son is good to her, and has money, and often helps them, so life is not bad!" This was a bit unexpected.Li Binliang looked at his watch, there was still more than an hour before the car arrived, he suddenly became curious: "Hey, I want to go to his house to have a look!" The teacher looked at Li Binliang: "Are you still thinking about her? Go take a look. It's the village behind, less than three miles away. Can you find her home?" Li Binliang said, "I'll go to the township police station and ask them to take me there!"
