Meng Xiaozhi Sugar Core

Seeing this, Sister Chen pulled me and walked into the dormitory next door.

After entering the room and turning on a light nearby, I discovered that the furniture inside was appropriately described as shabby: two beds and a table, nothing else.

Fortunately, there was a new mat on the bed, otherwise it would have been really troublesome at night.

Chapter 1 Children ()

After talking to my family, it was already late, almost 10 o'clock in the evening. After cleaning the dormitory, I had to go to bed. But what was a bit annoying was that the so-called bathroom in the room was actually a separate toilet, without a shower head, but only a cement washbasin and a squat toilet.

Although the weather was hot, there was no hot water, so the cold tap water shower still made me feel very cold. When I finished washing and came out of the bathroom shivering, Sister Chen was looking at me with a smile on her face.

"Are you used to the cold showers?"

I bit my teeth and trembled as I answered, "Not... so used to it."

"When I was in the police academy, I was used to taking cold showers every day." She picked up the basin and walked in.

"If you're sleepy, you can go to bed first. It's okay to turn off the lights."

"Ah, I'll wait for you, it's okay." I replied quickly. Sister Chen seemed to care about me very much.

I put on a light nightgown, took out the blanket with the picture of Elsa, and lay down on the bed. Under the cold bamboo mat was a rough palm bed board, which had collapsed a little due to its age, and sleeping on it would cause me to slide towards the middle of the bed.

"Hiss, it's a bit cold." I tried to wrap my whole body with the blanket. Fortunately, this furry blanket was quite warm. I just needed to sing the cold never bother me anyway.

Sister Chen came out of the shower quickly, but I was almost unconscious. The fatigue from a day's journey weighed on me like a mountain after I closed my eyes, and I fell asleep in a daze.

……

The next morning, I woke up to the alarm and felt unexpectedly tired. Sister Chen was in much better shape than me. Before I got out of bed, she had already put on her clothes and dressed simply.

I dragged my tired body to the sink and found that several of my fingers were swollen like carrots, itchy and painful. I looked closer and found that there were several mosquito bites on them.

Ah, mosquitoes! I scratched my head. No wonder my hands hurt in my dreams last night. It turned out that I was bitten by mosquitoes and turned into bread.

As soon as I walked out of the bathroom holding my swollen hands, Sister Chen handed me a bottle of toilet water, which really surprised me.

"Use this, it will be a little more comfortable." She smiled at me like a savior.

"Oh, thank you Sister Chen. How did you know I was bitten by a mosquito?" As I took it, I couldn't resist my curiosity and asked her.

"The police are best at observation. I wanted to apply some on you before you went to bed last night, but seeing that you were sleeping so soundly, I just sprayed some next to you, and it didn't seem to work."

"Thank you..." I was a little touched, but I couldn't seem to say anything else except thank you.

……

When I went out, the young couple next door were also getting ready to walk out of the room. Seeing their panda eyes, I knew they didn't get enough rest last night.

"Good morning!" I greeted.

"Good morning." They both responded at the same time, but they looked in a bad state.

Sister Chen was worried: "Are you okay? Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

"Well, I'm not quite used to the new bed. There are a lot of mosquitoes too, and I basically didn't get any rest all night." Fu Le complained.

"Good morning, teachers. You look like you have been working hard." Teacher Yu appeared in front of us on time, and seeing our mental state, he obviously guessed something.

But he couldn't comfort us, so he continued, "The students are already waiting for you in the classroom! Go check it out now!"

So we hurriedly ate a few bites of bread and followed him. In front of the teaching building was a relatively empty area, the school playground, with a tall national flag standing in the middle. Our students were standing in line in the middle of the playground, looking at us curiously.

There are only about thirty or forty students in total, big and small, tall and short.

"Are these all the students in the school?" Sister Chen asked.

"Ah, yes, that's about right. A few children took leave and didn't come." Teacher Yu nodded.

We followed Teacher Yu to the cement platform under the red flag. The students' eyes were like searchlights, staring straight at us without moving away. Chef Wei handed us a loud speaker, and Teacher Yu turned it on and simply called out "Hello, Mr. Pig!" twice.

"Hello, students! Today, we welcome three new teachers. They will teach you in the next summer cram school. Please give them a round of applause!"

As soon as Teacher Yu finished speaking, the students burst into applause. There were not many people, but the applause was very loud. It was obvious that the children were putting their full effort into the work.

"Now it's our teacher Chen's turn to say a few words." Teacher Yu handed the loudspeaker to Teacher Chen.

"Hello, students. My name is Chen Jiahui. You can just call me Teacher Chen..."

Sister Chen was obviously prepared and began to speak under the national flag in an orderly manner. My attention was focused on the group of children. The children were all very cute, but because they did not have a uniform school uniform and the clothes they wore were not particularly new, they looked a little untidy.

My eyes were quickly attracted by a little girl in the front row. She had a pair of beautiful eyes and a dark oval face, but her cheeks were rosy and cute. Unlike other students who were laughing, she was standing quietly, staring at me with her eyes.

I waved at her gently, and her face turned even redder. Her eyes avoided me and she didn't dare to look me in the eye. What a shy child she is.

The routine flag-raising speech was over, and as soon as Teacher Yu said to dismiss, the children gathered around us. Apparently our presence was so new that their curiosity was about to burst out.

The experience of being suddenly surrounded by more than forty children is a rare one. Fu Le and Wu Xinghui, who were not in good spirits, were flattered and smiled brightly. The gloom of yesterday seemed to have disappeared.

"Teacher, teacher, where are you from?" A little boy, relying on his strength, was the first to squeeze in front of us.

"We, we're from City N." Teacher Chen replied.

"Where is that?" The little ones all looked confused.

"Let's go back to the classroom and let the teacher teach you Chinese geography, okay?" Teacher Yu came to our rescue. When the children heard this, they ran faster than anyone else and rushed into the classroom.

"I'm sorry, the kids were too enthusiastic." Teacher Yu came up to us and apologized.

"Ah, there's no need to apologize. It's a good thing that children love their teachers and love learning." Sister Chen expressed her true feelings for us.

At this time, I found that the little girl who was staring at me during the speech under the national flag was standing next to me. She was hesitant to speak, with a look of curiosity and fear on her face, and her hesitation was very cute.

Author's words: I've encountered some troubles recently, so the update of the novel will probably be delayed again. I'm also not feeling well, so I'm sorry.

Chapter 2 Children ()

"What's wrong, little girl?" I squatted down and touched her head.

"Teacher Li, you are so beautiful! Are you the big star on TV?" She looked at me longingly.

Phew, I was amused by her, "No, Teacher Li is the teacher, I am here to teach you."

"Can I be as beautiful as my teacher in the future?" The little girl's voice was soft but full of anticipation.

"Of course you can. As long as you study hard, you will become a great beauty!" I pinched her little face, which was smooth, just like Tang Xin's face.

"Hmm..." After hearing this, she nodded and ran away happily.

"The children here are so simple." Sister Chen witnessed the whole process and patted my shoulder: "Let's go to the classroom and introduce ourselves to them!"

……

The situation in rural schools is more complicated than I imagined. For example, there are only two classes in the whole school, one for primary school and one for junior high school. There are more than 30 children in the primary school class, and only a dozen students in the junior high school class. Because the number of students is too small, there is no grade division, and all students are in the same class.

According to Mr. Yu, there are only three teachers in the school, including him, Lao Wei, and Mr. Zhao, but Mr. Zhao has been absent for the past few days due to health reasons. The most troublesome thing for them is English, because they don't know much English to begin with, and they have to teach students, which is even more difficult.

Therefore, Teacher Yu hopes to take advantage of this rare opportunity for college students to teach in rural areas to give the children good English lessons, and they can also take the opportunity to learn a little bit, so that the children will not have no place to learn English once we leave.

Because I was the only one in the class, Sister Chen assigned me to teach the junior high school class, while Fu Le and Wu Xinghui were assigned to teach the elementary school class with more students.

The junior high school classes were on the second floor. Teacher Yu led me up the escalator with paint peeling off to the second floor. There was a row of empty classrooms and only one classroom had a child sitting in it.

As soon as they entered the room, the children fell silent. It was obvious that they were afraid of Teacher Yu, who seemed to be very dignified.

"Hey, Teacher Li, please come in." After saying that, Teacher Yu took a pen and notebook and sat in the back, just like a trainee teacher listening to a class.

Fortunately, I had practiced before, and there were only a few students, so I was not afraid. I walked to the podium without any burden, and I found that the girl was sitting in the middle and looking at me curiously.

"Hello, students. From today on, I will be your deputy head teacher. My last name is Li, Li Xiaomeng." I turned around, picked up the chalk and wrote my name on the blackboard. However, the chalk in the blackboard slot was broken into pieces, so it was not easy to write well. Just three simple words, and the chalk in my hand broke twice.

But I finally finished writing the name smoothly, and I continued, "You can call me Teacher Li, and you can also call me sister in private. If you don't understand anything, you can always ask the teacher. If you have difficulties or problems in life, you can also come to me."

"So now, do you have any questions you want to know about me?" In order to build a closer relationship with my students, I plan to let them try to understand me.

At this time, a boy suddenly stood up. He had dark skin, curly hair, but bright eyes. He asked me loudly, "Teacher Li, how old are you? You look like you are only a little older than us."

This question made me stunned. I was really not prepared for this kid to ask this question suddenly. Perhaps seeing my embarrassment, Teacher Yu's face darkened and he immediately replied for me: "Teacher Li, please be polite. Su Guoqiang, what do you want to do? You want to leave a bad impression on the teacher on the first day, right?"

Teacher Yu's voice was very intimidating. The little boy named Su Guoqiang shrank his head and lowered it in embarrassment.

I quickly gave Teacher Yu a way out: "Teacher Yu, it's okay. It's normal for boys to be naughty. Su Guoqiang, right? Teacher Li is a freshman this year, 19 years old, and indeed not much older than you. So it's normal for you to call me sister."

"But if you want to ask a question, I think you still need to raise your hand first, and you can only stand up and answer after the teacher's permission."

After he finished speaking, the classroom fell silent, and everyone seemed shocked by Teacher Yu.

"Well, it's a bit too much to ask you to ask me questions now. Then let me ask the students?" I planned to try to feel out the situation first to see what level these children are at. "I want the students to introduce themselves, but they must say it in English."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the whole class became strange, and many students even lowered their heads.

"Well, girl, can you lead the teacher?" I pointed to the girl who asked me the question on the playground.

"Ah!" She stood up and fiddled with the edge of her clothes with both hands, not knowing where to put them. "I...I don't know how."

At this time, Teacher Yu raised her hand, which made me feel very embarrassed. My face turned red and I quickly said, "Teacher Yu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. You don't need to raise your hand."

"Teacher Li, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but now everyone in our junior high school class can't even recognize all 26 letters of the alphabet." Teacher Yu said embarrassedly, scratching his head.

I almost blurted out the word "fuck", but obviously my identity made me stop my impulse.

"Ah, is that so?" I touched the back of my head, feeling stressed. "Then please take out your English textbooks, and we'll start with the first lesson of the first grade."

The students opened their desks and took out blue-wrapped textbooks. However, I noticed that the girl did not have a textbook in her hand and was staring at her deskmate anxiously.

"Classmate, what is your name?" I slowly walked up to her and asked.

"Teacher Li, my...my name is Qiu Yin." Her voice was very soft, as if she felt she had done something wrong.

"So, Qiu Yin, where are your textbooks?"

"I...I...didn't bring it." Her face flushed and she didn't dare to look me in the eyes.

"Report!" At this time, another boy raised his hand.

I nodded, "You go ahead."

"Report to Teacher Li, Earthworm's book was lost by her, not that she didn't bring it with her."

"Huh?" The textbook didn't fall? I was also surprised and looked at Qiu Yin.

"Don't call me an earthworm!" the little girl cried, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I didn't mean to not drop it."
