Chapter 121 Teaching, temporary substitute teacher
The next morning.

"Good morning, everyone in the live studio..."

The live broadcast room started on time as usual, and the audience who were waiting in the room noticed something was wrong at the first moment.

"Martha, what's wrong with you? You look like you haven't slept all night? You have dark circles under your eyes!"

"Did the anchor bully you last night? Damn that Chinese kid, I knew he had bad intentions from the beginning to the end! Has he finally been unable to resist and exposed his true nature?"

"How dare you bully our beloved Martha! Brothers, let's rebel!"

Seeing Martha’s face after a bad night of sleep, the loyal fans in the live broadcast room felt so distressed!
Lin Yan was immediately pushed to the forefront, and everyone began to question whether it was you who bullied Martha last night? Did you make Martha so listless today?
Lin Yan said, "Yes, yes, you are all right."

Martha blushed and didn't dare to look at the comments in the live broadcast room, which made everyone more convinced that something unspeakable must have happened last night.

But the problem is, Lin Yan himself is the victim, okay?

“Ahhhh!! Bugs! Bugs are crawling onto the bed! Help, Yan!”

"What was that? It disappeared in a flash? Was it a mouse? It must be a mouse! Yan, you must think of a solution!"

"Wuwuwu, why can you, Yan, not take them seriously at all and sleep so soundly? Help, help! Yan!!"

If Martha had cried less, she wouldn't have been unable to sleep all night.

Lin Yan calmly explained to Martha that real poisonous insects are very afraid of people and rarely dare to come to human settlements. Most of the insects that occasionally come into the room are harmless and can be ignored.

But how could Martha, who was terribly afraid of insects, listen to her?
Looking at the tearful Martha, Lin Yan had no choice but to spend another contribution point to get himself a passive skill of "insect repellent", so that all kinds of pests would actively avoid the area within a five-meter radius around him, thus making room for Martha to have a quiet place.

Normally, Lin Yan would never consider this kind of skill, which is quite expensive but useless.

But how can I put it, seeing Martha hugging his arms tightly with tears in her eyes before she could fall asleep peacefully, and feeling the close dependence, Lin Yan suddenly felt that this expense was not so worthwhile.

At the same time, the Liang family also woke up early. The old man was in high spirits doing morning boxing exercises in the yard, and greeted Lin Yan and the others with a smile.

"Young man, did you sleep well last night?"

...You are bringing up something that is not related to the topic.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "The junior is fine, but my Martha...didn't disturb the senior last night?"

The live broadcast room was suddenly filled with curses: Can you explain to the translator what "your Martha" means?
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "It's a good thing for young people to be energetic. How can it be considered noisy? If the little girl is really not used to living here, there is no need to force her. Just pretend that I didn't tell you about what happened last night..."

"No, no, no! I'm used to it! I'm used to living here!"

Not only the live broadcast room, but also Lin Yan and Liang Zhuguo cast ashamed looks at Martha.

Well, this girl is trying to show off again. At the same time, the live broadcast room also became curious. Did Senior Liang talk to the anchors about something after the live broadcast last night? Why don’t I know?
Although Martha's face was a little pale, she still forced herself to say, "I did lose control of myself in the first half of last night! But I was much better afterwards! You, Youyan will take care of me, I'm fine, I can get used to it! On the contrary - the children's classes cannot be delayed! Since you need us to substitute for them for a few days, I'm happy to help!"

The live broadcast room was suddenly stunned.

What's going on? We're almost at the "children's course"? How many stages did you guys skip last night?

As the three of them started talking, the people in the live broadcast room realized what they talked about after the live broadcast last night.

Although Zhuangmiao Village is remote, it has dozens of families and more than a dozen children. Zhuangmiao Village does not have the conditions to send children to school dozens of miles away every day, so it can only rely on a teacher sent by the government to teach the children.

Unfortunately, two weeks ago, the volunteer teacher Chen was about to give birth and had to return to the city hospital to wait for delivery and rest for a while. Liang Jianxin and his wife, who were temporarily filling in for her, had to prepare for the wedding ceremony and could not leave before and after the wedding.

Originally, the children should be welcoming the holiday with great joy, but after a discussion yesterday afternoon, the whole village agreed that the visiting doctor Lin was knowledgeable and responsible, and was very suitable to broaden the children's horizons.

and so……

"In summary, until your brother Liang is busy with the wedding, I will temporarily teach you children. My name is Lin Yan, you can call me Teacher Lin, and this is Martha, you can just call her Sister Martha."

Lin Yan smiled as he looked at the group of sour-faced kids in their teens in front of him.

When the children heard that they could continue their classes, they burst into tears of emotion and were so enthusiastic that they seemed to light sky lanterns to welcome the temporary substitute teacher Lin.

I thought I had a rare few days of extra vacation and could attend Brother Liang’s wedding, but you suddenly told me that a new teacher had arrived and I had to continue teaching?

Don’t bully minors like this!
But at this moment, there is a different scene in the live broadcast room.

"Hey, hey, hey, t-this can be considered a 'school'? It's so lame!"

"I won't talk about the fact that this is just a shabby house. Can't this classroom be made better? The blackboard is broken, the desks and lecterns are rotten, and even the textbooks in the children's hands are second-hand goods that have been used for countless times! How can we have classes here?"

"It's not just that. Look at these children. The youngest is only seven or eight years old, the age for entering primary school, and the oldest is almost ten years old, it's time for them to go to middle school! Shouldn't they be taught in different grades and classes? How can they all be squeezed into one class? How can we teach them like this?"

"It's hard to imagine that we can still see such a bad school in the 21st century, even in China, which claims to be developed!"

"??? So you don't care about the special environment of Zhuangmiao Village at all? You just blindly criticize it?"

"You see China's backwardness? God, I have to correct your misconception! In my eyes, this is not backwardness. On the contrary, I see China's determination to strengthen education and change its destiny with knowledge in an environment with extremely difficult material conditions!"

"How many new viewers have come to the live broadcast room? Don't you remember the time in Chang'an City? China is a country with universal education for all, with tens of millions of college graduates every year! Not to mention grassroots education!"

"So what exactly does the 'teaching in rural areas' that they often talked about before mean? Those knowledgeable and educated college students in China would actually leave their good cities and take the initiative to go to such remote and backward villages to teach these poor children who can't afford to go to school? Are there still such people in China?"

This is not a short-term replacement like Lin Yan.

After just one night, Martha, who was used to a good life, felt uncomfortable. And those who went to the mountainous areas to teach, like the "Teacher Chen" in Zhuangmiao Village, really had to stay there for several years, decades, or even a lifetime!
China...are there actually such a group of unknown yet great people?
