"Sir Rusli, let's go to the house of the three students who dropped out of school." Handi thought of three students dropping out of school, standing up from his place, walking out of the house.
"What now? If not, you can rest first.don't rush " Mr. Rusli follow and shout.
"At this point, they were still at home after lunch, otherwise it would be difficult to find them due to the farm work in the afternoon."
"That's quite true." Mr. Rusli unbinded the horse cart. "Come, up."
"No," Handi shook her head resolutely, "I'm still young and strong, do I still need a horse to transport me?"
Seeing Handi's resolute rejection, Mr. Rusli stopped inviting him to ride the horse-drawn cart, but with a slight whisper, "The path is not close. The nearest village was five miles away, and the furthest one had to be ten miles ... "
"That's right," Mr. Rusli suddenly recalled something, and looked at Handi and said, "Can you use a bike?"
"Bicycle? Yes, there is a bike, and I can ride a bike, too" said Handi.
"Okay, you wait a minute."
Mr. Rusli opened the door of a room. Originally this was a classroom, but due to the shortage of students, this classroom was used by Mr. Rusli as a warehouse.
Mr. Rusli pushed a dusty old enough bicycle out of the room, then wiped the bike with a cloth and took out a pump to fill the wind wheel, he said, and then take some oil on the wagon and wipe it over the bike chain..
Mr. Rusli turned the pedal to check it and handed it to Handi after making sure that the bike was still usable.
Handi took the handlebar of the bike and pedaled two rounds. That's not bad. Although some bike bodies rust and make a "scream" sound when swung can still be used.
Handi leaned his feet on the ground and said, "Of course, this bike is old but strong, Mr. Rusli, your bike has history."
"Go, let's talk while we walk." Mr. Rusli arranged assignments for the students first and then took Handi to the homes of the students who dropped out of school.
The sun was shining brightly on a very hot day. Two people, one old and young, one on a horse-drawn cart and one on a bicycle rushed on a mountain road.
Mr. Rusli looked at the bike that Handi was riding with a smile on his face, but said in a sad voice: "This bike, I haven't ridden it for ten years. I don't drive it anymore because my legs are like this. . "
Handi fell silent, and then asked: " Mr. Rusli, about your feet ..."
Mr. Rusli said calmly: "I used to ride my bike at night. The road in the mountains was not good, my eyes were a little blurry, and I fell because the wheel hit the rock by accident, but ah, God still wants me to live. The children in the countryside still need me to teach them the knowledge I have"
"Look the way, be careful." Mr. Rusli lifted the whip of his horse and pointed to the front of the road.
"Oh oh." Handi gripped the handlebars tightly. He's down. It turned out that the collision and signs of deformation on the bike were caused by the accident.
"That's in front."
The two soon arrived at the house of the Word.
The door of the house of Word was closed, and Handi knocked on the door: "Excuse me, is there anyone?"
"Hey, there aren't many houses in the countryside. Since the door is unlocked, it means that someone is at home, so it's okay to enter directly" Mr. Rusli said.
"It's not so good." Sandy could not understand this simple approach.
"It's okay." Mr. Rusli stepped forward and opened the door and walked in. Sandy scratched her head and followed.
"Sir Hadi! Madam Indri!" Mr. Rusli called the name of the father Firman, and then called the mother Word.
The door creaked open, a bare-chested, barefooted child wearing large pants stood up and saw the two furrowed: "Sir Rusli, why are you here again?"
Mr. Rusli smiled kindly, "Son, this is the new teacher from our school, a student from the city ..."
When Handi saw the Word his eyes lit up, because the attribute table showed that the child's learning talent turned out to be B. The seven children in the school now have the talent of learning C and D. The first time he met a child who had the talent to learn B, Handi was surprised. It is unfortunate that the current level of effort of the child is F, which is the worst level, the kind that does not want to learn at all.
"I don't care, I said I'm not going to school, so would you please stop coming to my house?" The Word said with an unhappy expression.
"Based on this kid, how do you talk to a teacher like this?" At this moment, a woman walked out of the room and it seemed that she was the mother of the Word. " Mr. Rusli, please come in and sit down first."
Mr. Rusli pulled Handi into the house and sat down. The house was clean, and the house was the best in the village along the way. The economic level seems to be a little better.
"Quickly, pour water for two teachers" Indri's mother told her son.
Indri's mother smiled awkwardly, then poured water on the two.
"No need, we can do it ourselves." Handi took the kettle and poured water on himself.
"Sir Rusli, who is this?" Indri's mother asked with a confused face to see Handi who had white skin.
"The new head of the school at our school, Teacher Han, a student, was sent from the city." Mr. Rusli introduced Handi in a slightly proud tone.
Indri's mother looked at Handi: "Oh, good, a student?"
Handi heard the praise from Mother Indri, and hurriedly raised the glass of water to drink water to suppress her facial expression.
"Tasteful students live in the city, why are they here? Aren't they smart to be stupid?"
The words of Indri's next mother almost strangled Handi who was drinking water.
Mr. Rusli smiled awkwardly: "This is a policy of supporting poverty in terms of education."
"I don't understand how to help the poor and don't want to help the poor. I also know what you are doing here, want my son to go back to school and study, right?," said Ms. Indri
"Yes, yes, we hope Firman can go back to school and continue studying" said Handi calmly.
"I know, I know you're also doing this for her progress and I also hope she can continue to go to school. But this kid is stubborn. Mr. Rusli has also been here several times. He soon became an enemy of Mr. Rusli. "Mother Indri said with a sigh," Anyway, her father and I supported her for school, but you have to convince my son. His father and I can no longer tell him. "
The room was silent for a moment, Handi stood up and said, "Well, the boy is feeding the sheep, I'll talk to him."
Mr. Rusli also stood up, Handi gestured for him to stay in the room: "It's okay Mr. Rusli, stay here, I'll talk to him alone."
"Okay," said Mr. Rusli, "This boy has an impassioned temperament, speak calmly."
"Yes, I have my bottom line."
When Handi came to the sheepfold, the Word was pouring food into the sheep's place of eating.
"i'll help you." Handi walked forward and helped Firman pour food into the sheep's feeding ground.
"Your sheep were well-bred. They are fat and healthy. It makes others happy to see sheep like this." Handi.
The Word heard Handi praising her sheep with a happy expression on her face, and then said: "Are you a student?"
Handi nodded: "Yes."
"Why did you come here after you went to college?" Word speaks.
"To teach," said Handi with a smile.
"It makes no difference whether you go to college or not after you come to teach here" Word pursed his lips.
Sandy was silent, what should I say? Does to talk about the past talk about the importance of education to help the poor, the science to be rich, or looking to the future to be successful?
But nothing seems to make sense to this child.
Sure enough, these 1,000 points were extremely difficult to obtain.
"Actually, I don't think there's much difference between going to school and raising sheep." The Word goes on, "You see that keeping sheep means having to feed it sheep, and going to school means the teacher gave us knowledge of the textbook."
Handi quietly listened to her, although this metaphor was blunt, it sounded reasonable.
"But, I've been feeding sheep for six months, I can see them growing day by day, and see them growing healthy at a young age, and then selling them when the sheep are grown, he said, and earn hundreds of thousands. Going to school, what's the point? "
"Knowledge is wealth. You should know that after you go to school, you can use the knowledge you have learned as your grip on the future such as working or setting up a company. The money you earn in the future will be much more than the money you earn from raising sheep" said Handi.
"Then do you have money? Do you use the knowledge you learn to earn money? You are a student, you still come here? You teach with Mr. Rusli, and I keep sheep. You haven't earned money from teaching with Mr. Rusli. I have a lot of money when I keep sheep. "
But it's really sharp. The Word teaches Handi the lesson of the meaning of simple thinking of a child in the countryside. Sandy was confused to answer.
