After being reborn, I have seven older sisters.

Wang Changqing immediately snapped out of his reverie and focused his gaze on the manuscript that Wang Tianhe had handed him.

When his gaze fell upon the title and author's name on the cover, he first frowned slightly, then turned to Chunsheng and smiled, "You wrote 'A Day in the Life of a Grandparent and Grandchild'?"

Chunsheng quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, I wrote it!"

Wang Changqing didn't speak, nor did he rush to take the essay from Wang Tianhe's hand. Instead, he turned his gaze to Hongqin, gently tapped the manuscript he had just read with the knuckle of his right middle finger, and smiled with satisfaction at Hongqin, saying:

"This piece, 'A Day at the Weather Bureau,' is quite well-written; it's imaginative and has a clear theme!"

Hongqin smiled shyly and didn't say anything.

Only then did Wang Changqing look up at Wang Tianhe and ask, "Have you finished reading 'A Day in the Life of a Grandfather and Grandson'?"

"I've finished reading it; it's a pretty good entry!"

Wang Changqing nodded slightly, then took Chunsheng's essay from Wang Tianhe and began to read it carefully.

As he read Chunsheng's essay, all four teachers and two students in the office, including Wang Tianhe, stood quietly, watching him silently.

Just as Wang Changqing finished reading the first page and placed his finger on the manuscript, preparing to turn to the second page...

Suddenly, he hissed.

Just as Wang Tianhe was about to ask if there was a problem with the article, he saw that Wang Changqing, for some reason, had pulled his finger back from turning the page, and his gaze had returned to the first line of the first page, and he was reading from the beginning again.

Wang Tian and the others, unaware of what was going on, exchanged glances discreetly, wondering what their leader meant, but not daring to disturb him.

After Wang Changqing finished reading the first page again, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he quickly turned to the next page.

This time he didn't stop and read it all in one go.

But after reading it, he started flipping through the pages again from the first page and read the entire essay over as quickly as possible.

"oops!"

Wang Changqing suddenly sighed, looked up, and scanned the crowd before finally looking at Chunsheng and saying, "Song Chunsheng, your essay for the competition is incredibly imaginative! Come here and tell me how you came up with it!"

As Wang Changqing spoke, he pulled a chair over from the side and placed it opposite him, gesturing for Chunsheng to come and sit down quickly.

Wang Tianhe and the other teachers were stunned. They had never seen their leader treat a student so politely before.

Just as everyone was wondering whether Chunsheng would feel embarrassed and hesitate to move forward because of the vice principal's polite words.

To their surprise, Chunsheng didn't hesitate at all, nor did he feel embarrassed like the other rural students. He immediately walked over and sat down in the chair opposite the vice principal.

Wang Changqing first smiled at Chunsheng with a look of satisfaction, then pointed to a word in the middle of the first page of the essay and asked, "Chunsheng, tell me quickly, what exactly is this 'smartphone' that you mentioned several times in the essay?"

Chunsheng raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then picked up a ballpoint pen and an old notebook from the table next to him and quickly started doodling on the back of the notebook.

At this moment, several teachers in the room, including Hongqin, all gathered around and stared wide-eyed at what Chunsheng had drawn on the workbook.

Wang Changqing stared at the rectangle drawn on the paper, which looked a bit like a blackboard eraser, and immediately asked Chunsheng with a puzzled expression, "Is this the smartphone you were talking about?"

"Yes, this is a smartphone."

Wang Changqing frowned. "This little thing can be used as a telephone?"

Chunsheng nodded and smiled, "Making phone calls is just its basic function!"

Wang Tianhe suddenly said, "Chunsheng, please draw this thing called 'smartphone' in more detail. This will help Principal Wang and us understand it."

Chunsheng looked at Wang Tianhe with a puzzled expression and said, "This is already fully drawn, it looks like this."

Wang Tianhe exchanged glances with the others and continued, "If this thing can make phone calls, it should at least have a wire, right? Did you forget to draw it?"

Chunsheng immediately shook his head. "Smartphones don't need to be connected to wires; they use batteries, just like flashlights!"

After hearing this explanation, everyone finally understood.

Next, Wang Changqing asked several more questions, which Chunsheng answered one by one.

However, judging from Wang Changqing's eyes, he clearly still didn't understand some of the explanations Chunsheng gave.

For example, even if Chunsheng breaks down and explains terms like "food delivery" and "online shopping" to him, he still can't visualize them and remains confused!

Later, Chunsheng stopped explaining in such detail and just said that everyone should have a general understanding, since it was just a writing competition, not an invention competition.

Chunsheng understood very well that some things couldn't be visualized simply by being described verbally.

Especially in this day and age, when even electric lights are not yet widespread and people are often struggling to get enough to eat and wear, how can anyone imagine products born from an era of highly developed economy and overproduction of various goods? It would be very difficult for anyone to do so.

Later, several more essays were sent in by other teachers. After reading them, Wang Changqing shook his head helplessly.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now! Let's choose the best among the worst, and do our best to select five satisfactory articles."

Then, he changed the subject and looked at Wang Tianhe, saying, "However, the quality of the essays written by these two students in Teacher Wang's class is indeed quite good."

"Especially Song Chunsheng's 'A Day in the Life of a Grandfather and Grandson,' which combines rich imagination with elements of science fiction, as well as national traditions passed down for thousands of years. It covers everything from the warmth of family life to the development of major national projects, and is truly excellent..."

After praising them, Wang Changqing reassured Chunsheng and Hongqin, telling them that their essays, "A Day in the Life of a Grandparent and Grandchild" and "A Day at the Weather Bureau," would be sent to the county education commission for a county-wide essay competition.

At the same time, he reminded the teachers present not to forget to keep a copy of each of the five submitted essays for publicity throughout the school.

Neither Chunsheng nor Hongqin were surprised by this result.

Furthermore, they firmly believed that their essays would be submitted to the district or even the province. As for whether they would ultimately win a prize, only God knew.

When Chunsheng and Hongqin returned to the classroom, the third English class had just ended.

The two men immediately told Li Yufeng the good news, and Li Yufeng was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling for a long time.

Except for the second year of junior high school who did not participate in this competition, there were only 5 competition slots for the six or seven hundred students in more than a dozen classes in the whole school. Their class alone accounted for two of them, which is almost half. How could Li Yufeng not be happy!
