At 8 a.m., all the students had arrived. The children were very sensitive and soon noticed that I was different.

"Teacher Li, are you unhappy today?" Qiu Yin, like a little angel, quietly ran to my side during morning reading, leaned close to me and asked me.

I forced a smile, but I didn't know how to answer her: "It's okay, I encountered some things that adults would worry about."

"Teacher Li, please smile. She looks super beautiful when she smiles! My mother once told me that girls will only be liked if they love to smile!" Qiu Yin said seriously.

Ah, how can there be such a cute little girl. I touched her head and said, "It's okay, teacher, but I may have to work hard for you today."

"We?" She tilted her head and blinked, looking like a curious baby.

I clapped my hands and signaled everyone to be quiet: "All the students are here, right? Have you all had breakfast?"

No one answered me, so I asked, "Those who have eaten, please raise your hands?"

Three little hands were slowly raised, and the rest of the students looked at them with envy.

"Qiu Yin, didn't you have breakfast either?" I asked her with my head down.

"No... But it's okay, just eat more at lunch."

A sense of inexplicable irritation grew in my heart. If I continued to rehearse under the sun like this, I was afraid that I would soon suffer from hypoglycemia.

"Just a moment."

I ran back to the dormitory as fast as I could, opened my suitcase, and took out a dozen chocolates and a few packs of soda crackers that Tang Xin bought for me.

Five minutes later, I ran back to the classroom, breathless. The children were a little confused. They were probably still wondering why Teacher Li was so weird today.

"Qiu Yin, share the chocolates with everyone." I spread the pile of chocolates in my arms on the podium. "One piece should be enough for each person. Eat first."

"Chocolate?" Qiu Yin didn't quite understand what this thing was, but the golden packaging still allowed her to guess roughly, "Is it candy?"

"I know, I know. My dad brought me some when he came back before. Very sweet candy!"

"Well, eating candy will give everyone the energy to work." I nodded, somewhat glad that I brought chocolate with sweet milk and sugar, otherwise it would be dark and bitter original flavor, and I guess no child would be able to eat it.

"Okay." With a strange and puzzled look, Qiu Yin took the chocolate and gave one piece to each of them.

"Students who have received it, eat it quickly." I looked at the time and it was almost the agreed time of 8:30.

"Wow, it's delicious." "So sweet!" "Very sweet and greasy."...

The little ones all had red faces as they ate the chocolate happily. Soon, only the packaging was left.

"Do you want more?" I asked.

"Yes!" the whole class answered in unison.

"Then behave well in the morning, and the teacher will give you some next time." Although I said this, I knew I didn't know when the next time would be, after all, I had already taken out all my stock. If it doesn't work, I'll have to ask Tang Xin to mail some to us.

"Now, students, please go downstairs. Gather in the playground."

"Huh?" "Oh!!!" Some students were confused, while others cheered. It seemed that they were a little surprised by my sudden instruction. But when they heard that they were not going to have class anymore and were going to have activities, they all ran out of the classroom happily.

When we arrived at the playground, the elementary school classes had already lined up, and several teachers were training the content of the welcome ceremony together.

"We'll line up too. We can't embarrass the seniors. You have to set a good example."

As soon as I said this, the children immediately stopped playing and lined up in front of me.

"This morning, county leaders will come to inspect our school, so we have to hold a welcoming ceremony for them. The content is very simple, just line up in two columns at the school gate and applaud to welcome them." I helplessly stated the content of the morning meeting, "After the leaders enter the school, you will line up and stand in the area under the national flag, just like during the flag-raising ceremony every day. Listen to the leaders' speech, understand?"

"I understand!" The students' voices were very loud, probably thanks to the chocolate.

"Okay, let's practice it first. When the village chief comes in later, you will practice with him as the leader. When I raise my hand, you will shout "Welcome the leader to inspect. Do you understand?"

"Got it." This time the voice seemed a little uneven and weak. Could it be that the chocolate-coated bullet has only the effect of one sentence?

"Too quiet, speak louder." I glared at them in dissatisfaction.

"I heard it!" This time it was pretty good, and I nodded with satisfaction.

After our class and the primary school class lined up at the school gate, the village chief who had prepared in advance came over. This was the first time I saw the village chief of this poor village. He was short and bald. He wore a white shirt tied into his belt. He was a little fat, so the belt was a little tight. There was a scar on the right forehead, which looked a little ugly. He walked in with a red banner in his hand and a big smile on his face.

"Not bad, not bad. The teachers gave very good guidance." He smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits, revealing a row of yellow and black teeth.

"Mr. Yu." He patted the shoulder of Mr. Yu who was standing in the middle, "The teachers this time are all very good, and the students are all taught very well."

"Secretary Xu, that's not true. Our school has been relying on you to take care of it all these years."

Secretary Xu nodded slightly, and suddenly turned to look at me: "Hey, you, teacher over there, come over here."

I was a little surprised when he suddenly called me, and then I felt a little resistant. Forget about calling me, can you be a little more polite? I frowned slightly, forced a smile and walked over.

"Secretary, are you looking for me?" Out of politeness, I tried to ask with a smile.

“Give the children this banner and unfold it to show the leadership when the time comes.” He handed the banner in his hand to me.

"This?" I was a little embarrassed, but because Teacher Yu was winking at me, I had to agree, "I'll let the children practice first."

"You have to make arrangements." He suddenly reached out and patted my shoulder. "I drove to the county town yesterday to order this banner. It cost me a lot of money."

You went to the county town just to buy this thing, why didn't you buy some food for the children? The school is short of even chalk, and you spent money on this? The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.

Moreover, he didn't remove his hand from my shoulder immediately, but the gentle force made me feel uncomfortable. I took a step back and turned to my own student queue, but I could still hear what he and Principal Yu were talking about.

Sister Chen witnessed the whole process and came over to me and said, "Next time you encounter something, remember to call me first."

"Ah?" I was a little confused.

"I'm your leader. It's wrong for him to come to you first without coming to me." Sister Chen looked a little angry and said to me with a glare.

“Oh…” It was the first time I saw her so serious, and I nodded and agreed without thinking.

It was not difficult to get the children to unfold the banner, but the few white words on the banner that read "Welcome leaders to our school to guide our study work" seemed particularly eye-catching.

But the children didn’t understand any of this. They just thought it was fun to have something in their hands, and they were so happy smiling and laughing at each other.

"I don't think it's a good idea to hold it. We can't let the child hold it all the time, right?" I said to Sister Chen.

Sister Chen nodded, "Indeed, the children's hands will get tired too, so just hang them up."

Seeing Sister Chen and I were about to hang up the banner, Secretary Xu came over and said, "Hey, didn't I just ask you to guide the students to hold it?"

Looking at Secretary Xu who was somewhat dissatisfied, I turned to Sister Chen for help.

"Secretary Xu, our children's hands are getting sore from holding this thing all the time, and they can't hold it steady. It would be better to hang it up."

"Tsk, okay. Then let's hang it up. This child is not that delicate. Back then, I..." Seeing Sister Chen's strong answer, he muttered and went to find Teacher Yu again.

Just as we hung the banner on the wall, a minibus with a certain brand name drove to the open space at the school gate, followed by a pickup truck. The pickup truck stopped, raising a cloud of dust, and the door opened, and several people got out. One of them carried a huge camera and walked briskly to the side of the minibus and set it up.

"Here we come." Secretary Xu and Teacher Yu also changed their relaxed expressions and stood on both sides of the school team with serious faces, several pairs of eyes fixed on the door of the minibus.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the door slowly opened. A middle-aged man in a black suit and white shirt walked down first. His shiny black leather shoes stepped on the yellow sand and pothole-filled cement, and he seemed to move a few steps because he was not standing very steadily. Several more people got out of the car, and one of his entourage even held up a black umbrella for him.

When the group approached, I raised my hand, and the children shouted the slogans they had prepared with curious eyes.

"Secretary He, you're here?" Xu Cunshu smiled and he and Teacher Yu walked quickly to greet him, as if they were afraid that the person would run away.

Because I was far away, I couldn't hear their conversation, and they were speaking in dialect, so even if I could hear it clearly, I wouldn't understand it. I took the opportunity to arrange for the children to go to the playground. Fu Le and Wu Xinghui beside them also looked tired, and it seemed that waking up early had a great impact on them.

After that, the leader gave a routine speech. I didn't listen carefully to it at all. I just watched the children doze off. When it was over, there was only one class left before lunch. The children were arranged to study on their own, and Teacher Yu called us to attend a meeting with the county leaders.

I don't know when, the school's conference room was cleaned up, and the large conference table with a lot of paint peeling off was also wiped clean. When we entered the door, several leaders were already sitting inside waiting for us.

“Are you the college students here to teach?”

The secretary asked us, which made me feel a little helpless. It reminded me of a video in which the person who filmed asked the master who installed the air conditioner: Master, what do you do?

"Yes, we are the teaching team from City X." Sister Chen replied with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Come, sit down." The secretary didn't speak in an official tone and asked us to sit down quickly. I was embarrassed to sit forward, so I sat next to Sister Chen, hiding beside her and hoping that the leader would not look at me.

"Well, the young people nowadays are much more capable than we were back then!" Secretary He glanced at us and said with satisfaction to several colleagues around him. The master in charge of taking photos and videos at the side also kept working, and the flash light kept flashing.

"That's right. This time I came to inspect mainly to see how our education work in xx village is going. I happened to meet the teaching team, and I can come to see our teachers from big cities." Secretary He praised, "Not bad, the teachers and students are very energetic."

"Secretary He, you are too kind." Sister Chen replied.

After that, most of the conversations were routine inquiries, and the village party secretary and Teacher Yu answered them very well. After half an hour, the brief meeting ended. I didn't expect it to be so fast.

But after everyone who was filming left, the secretary suddenly spoke again: "Oh, by the way, who is the junior high school teacher? Principal Yu, please call her over. I have something else to discuss."

Looking for me? I was a little confused. I hadn't said a word since I entered the door. What could he want to talk to me about? I turned around and looked behind me. Sister Chen seemed to have gone out and didn't stay with me.

"Teacher Li, right?" Secretary He, Teacher Yu and I were the only ones left in the meeting room.

"Yeah." I nodded nervously.

"How many people are there in our junior high school class now?" he asked me.

"twelve."

"How many boys?"

"Seven."

"Um...how's studying?"

"Except for their poor English, everything else is pretty good. I think with a little effort they can get into a regular high school. Vocational high schools shouldn't be a problem."

"Have you figured it out so clearly after just a few days here?" Secretary He nodded with satisfaction.

"It's my duty," I answered modestly.

"Well, it's not a big deal. I just want to borrow two girls from you. We're holding a group wedding in our city, and we need a few children to be flower girls."

"Flower girl?" I opened my mouth wide, my mind confused.

"Yes, it's the child who accompanied us to take photos at our wedding." Secretary He explained, "Don't worry, the child will be safe. It will only take one day and will be returned tomorrow night."

"This will delay the children's studies, right?" I frowned, resisting in my heart.

"No, don't we have you? We can't miss too much homework in one day, right? What's more, this is a rare opportunity. We can go to the county town to eat delicious food and wear beautiful clothes. The girls will definitely be happy about it, right?" Teacher Yu also persuaded.
