The village chief was stunned when he heard this, and his expression became kind and gentle.
Convince her how much it means to come here to the village, and how much the children in the village like her. This is only their first day of class, and everyone hopes that she can stay.
Wang Ziyi hesitated for a moment, but finally wanted to leave.
"Can you please help me contact the cadre in charge of teaching? I want to leave today."
She really didn't want to stay any longer.
"But... the cadres can't come."
Seeing that she was determined to leave, the village chief shook his head regretfully.
"It was yesterday when we sent you here that a few of the officers were returning along the road when they were hit by a huge rock on the hillside and unfortunately died."
"What?" Wang Ziyi was stunned when he heard the news.
The other teachers were also confused.
They never imagined that a good group of people would be wasted in just one night.
"That's impossible."
They couldn't believe it.
"It's true. I didn't want to tell you, but you were in a hurry to go back so..."
The village chief lowered his head and wiped his tears with his sleeves.
Several teachers who were teaching in the supporting schools were also trying hard to hold back tears.
Fu Anan watched from the side. The village chief didn't cry at all, he was just pretending.
"The huge rock has fallen and the road in the mountain is also blocked. Even if you want to go back, Mr. Wang, you may have to wait a few more days."
The village chief then said with some embarrassment,
“You can only leave when the next batch of cadres arrive.
Otherwise, please wait a few more days."
Hearing this, Wang Ziyi lost her temper. She sat on the stool passively, feeling sad about the news of the cadres' death and missing home very much at this moment.
Upon seeing this, the village chief looked at the children gathered nearby and gave them a look.
The children quickly rushed over, surrounded Wang Ziyi, and called her "Teacher Wang" in a very sweet voice.
What does it have to do with these kids if the adults do not do well
Wang Ziyi looked at these children and became gentle. Anyway, we still have to wait for a few days, so we can continue with the class.
This went on peacefully for another two days.
We have safely passed so many days, and there is nothing else to do except teaching at the fixed time every day.
Overall, the past few days have been safe.
However, the food and drink supplies are a bit simple.
Apart from eating boiled cabbage or boiled potatoes every day, the best meal was the one when the village chief took them to eat on the high platform when they first arrived.
That was the only time they saw meat in all those days.
It is now the fourth day of the game.
It's very lively outside.
People outside were walking back and forth with food.
Someone was calling them downstairs, and various dishes were placed on the familiar high platform.
There is food again!
The volunteer teachers couldn't wait to go down. They hadn't had any oil or water in their stomachs in the past few days, so they didn't mind the white meat that was cooked with just a little salt and water.
Fu Anan sat at her seat. She didn't eat much of the food and just stuffed white rice into her mouth.
The dishes were lacking in oil and salt, but the white rice was still good.
The rice cooked in the wooden steamer has a wood-fired aroma. It tastes so much better than the boiled sweet potatoes and potatoes I've been eating these days.
The people eating on the high platform were very focused, and there were always many people watching the fun on the earthen building.
Suddenly, someone threw a piece of firecracker towards the center of the yard, and the crackling sound scared everyone.
