Miles to Go 人生之路 Episode 9

The former kind and honest old teacher suddenly turned into a rogue. Gao Jialin was so angry that he had nowhere to vent, so he simply ran to Master Deshun to complain. Master Deshun was noncommittal about this, and asked Gao Jialin what he would do if he left school. As a young man with healthy limbs, he couldn't accept the life of farming from dawn to dusk, let alone Zhou Xinchu, who was already very old.

Therefore, Lord Deshun hoped that when Gao Jialin angrily criticized the old teacher, he should put himself in consideration of the other party's situation. Gao Jialin is highly educated and young, at least he has more capital and more opportunities than Zhou Xinchu. After Master Deshun's enlightenment, Gao Jialin gradually understood Zhou Xinchu, but he believed that this opportunity was a fair competition, and he would not regret it if he did not win the spot.

After returning home, Gao Jialin filled out an evaluation application form himself, told Liu Qiaozhen the importance of becoming a full-time teacher of popular science, and planned to buy some things for Zhou Xinchu. Liu Qiaozhen casually asked him to buy a small comb for herself, falsely claiming it as a dowry, and Gao Jialin promised to give her a big gift when she got married. However, Liu Qiaozhen changed her mind and asked him to give him a special gift, and ran away shyly after speaking, Gao Jialin was stunned suddenly and at a loss.

The next day Liu Qiaozhen drove Gao Jialin and the students to the county town, walked around and stopped at the Xiaoren Bookstore. While the students were fascinated by the books, Gao Jialin went to the Education Bureau to submit the evaluation form in person, and asked Ma Zhansheng about his status as a full-time student. Ma Zhansheng stated that there is a shortage of capable young teachers like Gao Jialin in the education team, so he must be included in the regularization list this time.

Just as Gao Jialin returned to the children excitedly with the good news, unexpectedly something happened. Liang Mandun chased the bus curiously, and then had a car accident and was sent to the hospital. Although Liang Mantun survived, he had a broken leg. The Education Bureau heard that Gao Jialin took the students out privately, and determined it as a serious liability accident.

It was also because of this that Zhou Chuxin was given the fixed quota for becoming a full-time student. Instead, Gao Jialin lost his teaching qualification and had to leave the school. The students reluctantly lay by the window to watch Gao Jialin go out, Hua Xiaojuan hurried to catch up, and comforted Gao Jialin not to be sad, he will always be the best teacher in the school.

Gao Jialin returned to the dilapidated cave dwelling, locked himself in his room in a daze at night, got up early in the morning, packed his bag and prepared to go to school, but halfway he realized that he was no longer a people's teacher. On the simple road leading to the county town, farmers carrying hoes appeared one after another. Gao Jialin looked at them as if he saw himself, and his dream became unreachable again.

During this period of time, Gao Jialin went to bed very early and woke up very late every day, and fell into the pain of darkness all day long. Liu Qiaozhen really couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded Gao Jialin to cheer up, mentioning that Liang Mandun would still help his father with farm work even if his leg was broken. Feeling guilty and remorseful, Gao Jialin slapped himself wildly and rushed out the door. He took the initiative to dig the ground for the granary, turned his grief and anger into strength and put it into labor until his hands were bleeding blisters and his hoe was stained red with blood.

Liu Qiaozhen picked up the waste manuscript Gao Jialin threw on the ground, and took it to read the content to the younger sister, only to find out that Gao Jialin vented his pain through poetry. At the same time, Gao Yude and his wife were worried about their son. Gao Yude could only go to Gao Minglou to help him find a job with his old face. There is no way to control Gao Jialin anymore.

Liu Qiaoling was going back to the county high school, and happened to meet Gao Sanxing who was driving a new car. Because Gao Minglou entrusted Gao Minglou to find a transportation job for Gao Sanxing, Liu Qiaozhen thought of asking her elder sister Liu Qiaoying to intercede and ask Gao Minglou to get a job for Gao Jialin. Liu Qiaoying is not optimistic about Gao Jialin, and advises her sister to stay away from him as much as possible. Liu Qiaozhen doesn't listen to the advice at all, but helps Gao Jialin cut corn.
