Chapter 122: A teacher is someone who teaches, accepts students, and resolves doubts
At this moment, countless foreign netizens once again realized the horror of China's "hearing thunder in silence"!
In their so-called "common sense", being willing to go to poor areas - these areas can be relatively underdeveloped areas within developed areas, or areas such as the Sahara Desert that are indeed poor due to geographical constraints. Being willing to go to these areas to hold a few charity events, perform charity shows and donate money, and call on everyone to care about these poor people is already the most remarkable act of kindness in the entire Blue Planet.

Several film and television stars and artistic singers who hold a pivotal position in the entire Blue Star have greatly promoted the mainstream community's care for poor areas through their charitable activities and made an indelible contribution to the funding of poor areas!

They are indeed people of great character, and no one would doubt their passionate love. However, everyone knows that these charitable activities are just a drop in the bucket, and no matter how much they donate, it will eventually become a formality. They may be able to help one or two people, one or two villages out of poverty, but that is all, and it cannot play a role in changing the world!
Even Martha herself is a good example!
When she heard about the poverty in Zhuangmiao Village, Martha burst into tears and even offered to donate money to help all the villagers get out of the mountains - Martha was so loving that she was willing to donate her huge fortune to these poor strangers.

But even if Martha could help Zhuangmiao Village out of poverty, what about Miaozhuang Village a few hills away? What about Shoumiao Village a few hills away? What about the thousands of equally impoverished mountain villages in China and even the entire Blue Star? It’s true that Martha has money, but how many people can she help?
Real charity and real poverty alleviation require the participation of the entire nation and society, and even everyone needs to make "sacrifices" for it!

Martha may not take money seriously, but she finds it difficult to adapt to the poor living environment in Zhuangmiao Village. Living there for a few days may be her limit. On the other hand, some people who also come from the city and find it difficult to adapt to such poor living conditions can take root here for a long time and provide education for children who should not be able to go to school for several years or decades. It is these "Teacher Chen" who has only heard of the name but never seen the person, who truly brings hope to these poor places!

Even though she was due to give birth in the next few days, when she heard that someone else was coming to cover for her, the nearly 30-year-old teacher Chen still hurriedly called:
"Are you the Dr. Lin that Master Liang mentioned? Thank you, thank you so much. I want to thank you on behalf of all the children in the village for coming to take my place."

"It's like this, Dr. Lin, I taught the children about the following topics before... Could you help them learn more about poetry in the next few days? Or, since you are a professional doctor, you can also give the children some basic knowledge about physiology."

"My body? No, no, no, I'm staying well in the hospital, and my wife is always by my side, so I don't have to worry. As for the children, some of them are a little naughty, but they are not bad by nature, so you must be more considerate of them."

"Also, it's almost time for the exam. The children from the Sun and Huang families in our class are about to graduate from the village and go to junior high school outside. You have to work hard to supervise their studies these days. If they slack off because I'm not here and fail to get into a good junior high school, I will be guilty of a great sin!"

"Students, can you hear me? Mr. Lin is a very good person and very capable. Everyone should listen carefully to Mr. Lin's words these days, study hard, and don't let your parents down!"

"Hey, husband, stop arguing. I've already told you I'm fine. The children's affairs are more important than me! Where was I just now? Oh, by the way, Liu Zhizhi, your literacy skills are not very good. While Teacher Lin is here, remember to communicate more with her..."

Teacher Chen talked on the phone for more than half an hour, almost taking up the entire class time, and everyone in the live broadcast room was stunned.

No, ma'am, you're about to give birth!

Shouldn't you take care of yourself more at this time? Take care of your body, stabilize your emotions, and welcome the birth of the most important new life in your family. Isn't this what you should do?

To be frank, the children in this mountain village have nothing to do with you! Why do you take their affairs so seriously and take yourself and even your own children so lightly?
Listening to Teacher Chen's nagging, Martha didn't know why, but her tears kept flowing and no matter how hard she tried to wipe them away, they wouldn't stop.

She thought of her own mother, who had been nagging her like this when she was a child, even to the point where Martha felt annoyed.

Teacher Chen, just like Martha's mother, is always concerned about her beloved children rather than herself!

The only difference is that the children that Teacher Chen loves are not only her own children, but also the children in the class! These children have nothing to do with her!
This is not some showmanship.

Instead, they are truly willing to dedicate their lives to an ideal. They love other people's children as if they were their own, and their love for their country and family cannot be shaken by any difficult or tiring environment!
How many people in the live broadcast room could hold back their tears?
They claim to be kind-hearted, but are they supposed to abandon their comfortable lives in the city and go to these poor places to burn their lives for these poor people? Sorry, don't even think about it!
They don’t want to go even if it’s just for one day!
That is why Teacher Chen's "nagging" is so frustrating! What they can't do, someone else can do, what they are unwilling to sacrifice, someone else is willing to sacrifice! What they find unbearable, someone else is happy with!

It is because of the countless "Teacher Chen" who burn themselves that many rural children are able to embark on the road of seeking knowledge, learn knowledge step by step, and finally feed their poor hometowns in return! Leading their hometowns out of poverty! China certainly has dazzling stars with thousands of honors, but it has never lacked unsung heroes like Zhuangmiao Village and Teacher Chen!
At the end of the chattering, even Lin Yan couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Teacher Chen, I understand your meaning very well. Let's end this call here. Please take care of your health and prepare for the good news."

"Alas, I haven't yet..."

"For the sake of your child, you must rest now. Please remember that I am a professional doctor. I can tell from your unnatural coughs that your good news will come in no more than 30 hours, or even within 6 hours. You must be in the best condition to welcome your child. I will take care of everything here, so please don't worry anymore."

Lin Yan hung up the phone forcefully.

Immediately, his eyes turned towards the classroom.

"Students, do you like Teacher Chen?"

There was silence, and then everyone nodded slowly.

Teacher Chen is like a second parent to them - no, even to some children whose parents work away from home, Teacher Chen is closer to them than their own biological parents!

How could they not like Teacher Chen?

"Well, do you all want Teacher Chen to give birth to a baby smoothly, be healthy, and come back happily to continue teaching everyone?"

"think--!"

"Since everyone hopes that everything goes smoothly for Teacher Chen, then shouldn't we stop Teacher Chen from worrying about us? These few days, students should just be good kids so that Teacher Chen doesn't have to worry about us anymore, okay?"

"it is good--!"

The whole room burst into applause.

Martha clapped her hands until they turned red, and looked at Lin Yan with stars in her eyes, admiring the fact that he could "use the emperor to command the princes" in the first class and easily subdue the students in front of him who were about to make trouble.
