Chapter 112 Schools Lack Teachers
Shi Xia stopped and looked at Grandpa Xu.

"Don't envy me. Just work hard. Even though you're older and a bit stubborn, you'll catch up with me someday."

Grandpa Xu looked at Shi Xia speechlessly.

He strongly suspected that Shi Xia was retaliating for his bad attitude when she first came to his house.

Unfortunately he has no evidence.

"Comrade Shi Xia."

The phrase "Comrade Shi Xia" immediately reveals that Shi Xia is a former educated youth from the village, even without looking at him.

No one in the village called her Comrade Shi Xia.

"Hello, Comrade Cheng Qingmin, right?"

Cheng Qingmin nodded.

"Yes, it's me."

Shi Xia looked behind Cheng Qingmin but didn't see Li Yafang, who was dissatisfied with everything and seemed to have a problem with her head.

"Avon is resting."

Cheng Qingmin kept a distance of more than two meters from Shi Xia and explained his purpose.

"I still want to ask if primary schools need teachers. I can teach many subjects. I can also play the harmonica and I know a little about drawing."

Shi Xia didn't make things difficult for Cheng Qingmin, and indeed, the school didn't have a single proper teacher, only a proper principal.

"Okay, go back and prepare your math, Chinese, music, and art lessons. Come to school for a trial lesson tomorrow morning at eight o'clock."

"Okay, okay! I'll definitely prepare well, I'll definitely prepare well!"

Cheng Qingmin was overjoyed; if it passed, he would be able to do less work.

It's not that he's being lazy, it's that he really can't do it anymore.

Cheng Qingmin left, and as for the other educated youth, Shi Xia had no intention of taking the initiative to find them; she admired proactive people.

"Grandpa Xu, can you swim?"

Shi Xia's sudden change of topic caught Old Master Xu off guard. He looked at Shi Xia warily and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Nothing, just asking. By the way, does Xu Danqing go to school?"

Grandpa Xu tried his best to keep up with Shi Xia's train of thought, and finally said one word: Go!

The two returned home. Grandpa Xu went to stay at his aunt's house, while Shi Xia went home, took out paper and pen, and began to draw a sketch of the house.

She wanted to build a brick house, a bigger one, a more spacious one.

As they scribbled and drew, the sunlight gradually faded, and Shi Xia took Xu Danhong for a walk on the beach.

Xu Danhong saw the sunset by the sea for the first time and was captivated by its beauty.

"Xu Danhong, have you ever been to school?"

"Graduated from primary school".

Xu Danhong looked at Shi Xia, feeling a desire to speak.

“I was supposed to go to junior high school, but my mother passed away, so I stopped going to school.”

Xu Danhong spoke slowly, and from her words Shi Xia saw a simple and unpretentious woman with deep maternal love.

Xu Danhong's mother was an only child who married into the family.

She married him because he was honest and hardworking, and Xu Danhong was willing to do so.

Xu Danhong's mother's first child was a daughter, and she insisted on letting her daughter grow up and go to school before having a second child.

The second child was Xu Danqing, a boy. It should have been a happy ending, but at this time, Grandpa Xu suddenly left home and did not return for several years.

Xu Danhong's father gradually revealed his true nature, and Xu Danhong's mother had many conflicts with him and was beaten many times.

“I had just graduated from elementary school when my dad decided not to let me continue my studies, and my mom and dad started fighting again.”

"I was scared, I cried and begged not to be hit... but it was no use."

"I was trying to find someone to help me. I ran out and slipped off the bridge. I didn't know my mom was chasing after me. I didn't want anything to happen to her."

Xu Danhong's tears burst forth, crackling and popping.

“My mom pulled me up, but she was too weak to go on her own. I tried to pull her up, but I couldn’t. I watched her sink to the bottom little by little.”

"Her last words to me were, 'Live on.'"

Shi Xia stood silently to the side, waiting for Xu Danhong to calm down before speaking. "Your mother wants you to live a wonderful life. She always made you study so that you would be wise and sensible, not so that you would dwell on the past and wallow in sadness all day long."

"Besides, why don't you explain things clearly to Old Man Xu? He thinks that you ran away in a fit of pique, which is why your mother died."

With red eyes, Xu Dan asked, "What's the point? My mom isn't coming back."

"Nonsense, how could it be meaningless?"

"Qin Hui has been cursed for years since he died. You don't actually think that everything disappears after someone dies, do you?!"

"There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

Xu Danhong blinked. What a unique angle.

The two walked for a while before returning to the Shi family home. Xu Danhong barely slept all night and found Grandpa Xu early the next morning.

More than half an hour later, suppressed sobs rang out as Xu Dan, with red eyes, followed her aunt to go beachcombing.

Grandpa Xu came over next door, found Shi Xia, and said: Thank you.

"No need to thank me, let's get Aunt and Uncle Wen's health back in order first."

Old Master Xu rolled his eyes.

"You really know how to make the most of people."

"Be secretly happy, at least you're useful!"

Shi Xia's words angered Old Master Xu, and he left.

In a good mood, she took Big White, Little Eagle, and Turtle Six to the school.

Cheng Qingmin arrived very early, wearing a white shirt, black pants, and slicked-back hair. He had a serious face and looked a little nervous.

Li Yafang also arrived, and after snorting at Shi Xia, she didn't dare to say anything.

When Shi Xia entered the school, all the children quickly lined up in two rows, one on the left and one on the right, and shouted loudly to Shi Xia as she walked in: Hello, Shi Xia!
"Be mindful of the occasion; you should address Principal Shi here."

Shi Xia corrected him, and the children promptly corrected themselves, their unified "Good morning, Principal Shi!" kicking off a wonderful school day.

After Shi Xia gave a brief introduction to Cheng Qingmin, Cheng Qingmin began his lesson.

After four consecutive periods, Shi Xia initiated a vote on-site, allowing students to choose.

Cheng Qingmin was damn nervous.

Fortunately, all the students raised their hands.

Because Shi Xia, the eldest brother, said that the school is short of teachers.

Cheng Qingmin passed the test, and an excited Li Yafang immediately rushed over and hugged his arm.

"Brother Qingmin, you're amazing!"

Cheng Qingmin was also excited, but he didn't dare to show off. He pulled his arm away and said, "Ya Fang, you should be mindful of your behavior in front of the children."

"They're just happy for you."

Li Yafang was unhappy again, so Cheng Qingmin had to lower his head and coax her a few more times. Shi Xia was too lazy to look, so she waved her hand and took the students to swimming class.

At the beach, as summer arrives, a whistle is uttered.

Many people on the shore were looking at the sea with smiles on their faces.

"Fatty's brought the dolphins!"

"I've watched it so many times, but I still can't get enough."

"Shi Xia has been gone for a few days and hasn't had her swimming lesson for several days."

"Of course."

Shi Xia rode a bamboo raft to the sea. After getting to know Pang Pang, the children boarded the fishing boat and came over. One by one, they found their little dolphin companions and splashed into the sea.

The newcomer, Xu Danqing, was very envious, but he couldn't swim at all.

"Xu Danqing, come here!"

Shi Xia called Xu Danqing over and asked Pangpang to take care of him personally, which made the other children extremely envious.

A military vessel slowly docked. Commander Wei, who had come to personally deliver the honor, looked at the children playing with dolphins in the sea and was filled with envy.

If their soldiers could be like that too… Chief Wei looked at Shi Xia with a tempted expression.

The key person is here!
