Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

Children who come to the county for the first time are curious about everything.

Looking up at the tall buildings all around, and looking down at the flat and solid asphalt road under your feet, it is really fresh everywhere.

"Teacher, where are we going?"

"Go east, go to the teacher training school, keep up, don't wander around, there are many people in the county, if you get lost, I can't find you."

Teacher Jiang, the leader of the team, pointed to the east and led the children forward.

The children who first arrived in the county couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, so they could only follow behind the teacher obediently.

As he walked, he looked at the scene along the way.

The teacher training school is at the foot of Dongshan in the county seat. Walk eastward from the alley in front of the grain bureau, and you will arrive at the root of Dongshan.

This is a rather large courtyard, with office buildings and meeting rooms to the south, the canteen to the east on the north, and dormitories to the west.

"You guys stay in the yard for a while, I'll go through the formalities."

All participating schools have to sign in at the office building, and then arrange rooms and accommodation.

Teacher Jiang let the children play in the yard, while she took the school's introduction letter and other things to the office building to sign in and go through the formalities.

Not long after, Teacher Jiang came out and led the children to the north dormitory.

Under the arrangement of the staff, four girls live in one room, and two boys temporarily live in one room.

If there are many people coming in the afternoon, people will be arranged inside. Teacher Jiang lives with a teacher from another place.

The dormitory has three floors, Xu Haiyuan lives on the second floor, and the monitor of class three is with him.

This kind of competition is to pick the best grades in the class, most of them are the monitors, or they are also the school committee, ordinary students simply don't get the turn.

Everyone went to the dormitory to rest, and went downstairs to the cafeteria to eat at eleven o'clock at noon.

A table for ten people, ten dishes, no matter if the people around you know each other or not, they just sit down and eat.

The food was alright, there were a few cans, everyone rushed to eat the cans, Xu Haiyuan took two bites, and the plate was empty.

He wasn't picky, he could eat whatever he wanted, and he ate two bowls of rice.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so the teacher asked the children to recite the questions in the dormitory.

Get up early the next morning, wash up, have breakfast, and then all go to the meeting room in the office building to the south to prepare for the game.

There are 16 central primary schools in the 16 townships in the county, plus several primary schools in the county. Each primary school arranges one or two groups of students to participate in the competition.

In some larger villages, a group of students will also be arranged, so the conference room is full of people.

The competition is divided into two rounds, the preliminary round and the final round.

The competition questions in central primary schools and village primary schools are different, and the questions in central primary schools are more difficult.

A group of three went forward to draw lots, and asked which set of questions they got, and the teacher asked questions one by one.

Ask ten questions in one minute, ask and answer quickly, and answer one question correctly.

Originally, I thought that the scope of the questions was in the book, but it turned out that many questions were not in the book after this competition.

Some children are just dumbfounded, and they don't know it at all.

There are also some children who are usually very proficient in reciting at home, but when they go on stage, they are immediately stunned when they see so many people below.

There are ten questions in one minute, and I can't respond at all.

Some children stuttered and couldn't answer when they came on stage, and cried when they stepped off the stage.

"Remember it all for me. Don't be nervous when you are on stage, just treat the people in the audience as carrots and potatoes."

Teacher Jiang called the six students together and repeatedly told them to calm down and not to be nervous.

There are two groups of students in Donggang Central Primary School, each group consists of one boy and two girls.

The group led by Xu Haiyuan has the monitor of the second class and a school committee member of the fourth class.

The monitor of the third class is Liu Qiang, and he also leads a monitor and a school committee.

The order in which each group of students came to the stage was determined by the teacher's lottery. The two groups of Donggang Central Primary School were separated by a long time.

Liu Qiang's group came to the stage first, and the group leader drew questions, probably because he was unlucky, and the questions drawn were quite difficult.

The school committee member in class one was dumbfounded as soon as he heard the questions, and he answered five of the ten questions correctly, and when he stepped off the stage, the little girl cried.

Xu Haiyuan and the others were at the back, and they finally came to the stage. Xu Haiyuan went to draw questions.

It's okay, luck is good, most of the questions are from the book they memorized, only Xu Haiyuan encountered two out-of-range questions.

With Xu Haiyuan's knowledge, it's just a drizzle, so he answered it easily and got full marks.

There were too many schools and students participating in the competition, and the competition continued in the afternoon without finishing the work all morning.

Then, from all the groups in the preliminary round, the top ten central schools and the top five village primary schools were selected for the finals the next day.

The team led by Xu Haiyuan successfully advanced with the first overall score.

The other group was eliminated due to the poor performance of the team members.

"It's pretty good. They all played well. Hurry up and eat. After eating, I'll take you to Xijiang Park for a stroll."

Teacher Jiang is quite satisfied with this result.

This is the first competition in the county. Regardless of the inexperienced teachers and students, it would be great if one group can make it to the final.

The students cheered up when they heard this.

The little girl who had been crying for a long time stopped crying now and hurried to eat.

Together with Mr. Jiang, the big guy came out of the training school and walked along the path from Dongshan, the county town, to the embankment of Xijiang.

Regardless of Li Jingyu's working ability, but for the construction of this city, he has really worked hard.

In order to hold the Ginseng Festival last year, the county specially repaired the embankment of the Xijiang River.

Guardrails, sidewalks, pavilions, stone tables and benches are built, and the whole is quite beautiful.

After the beginning of spring this year, the county arranged for people to put up many statues on this bank of the river.

There are dancing fairies, black bears coming out of tree holes, deer, squirrels and so on.

Therefore, the Xijiang embankment has now become a place for people in the county to relax after tea and dinner.

In early summer, after dinner, a few members of the family come out to wander around, watching the sunset, blowing the river breeze, not to mention, it is very pleasant.

When have these children in Donggang seen such a beautiful park?

It's not enough for everyone to be happy, touch this and look there, it's rare everywhere.

Especially for those statues, the children had to stand and look at them for a long time.

"It's a pity that I don't have a camera. It would be great if I had a camera. I can take some pictures for you as souvenirs."

Teacher Jiang is also very regretful. It is rare for the children to come out. Wouldn't it be great if there was a camera?

Xu Haiyuan didn't make a sound over there.

He did have a camera at home, but the teacher didn't tell him, and he didn't bother to look for those burdens, so he didn't bring it.

Besides, it's just a county seat, so what?

When I have the opportunity to go to the province or the capital in the future, I can take as many photos as I want.

In the evening, there were many people in Xijiang Park, and some small vendors also found business opportunities. Many people were shouting for popsicles, ice cream, soda, and melon seeds.

Xu Haiyuan remembered what his father said, so he went over and sold everyone an ice cream for 20 cents, and distributed it to everyone.

"Wow, ice cream, this is delicious, and it's much more expensive than popsicles." Everyone was happy when they saw it.

On weekdays, it would be nice to be able to eat popsicles that cost five cents, but this ice cream costs two cents.

Maybe Xu Haiyuan is willing to do so, who would be willing to buy such an expensive ice cream for someone else?

"Well, it's delicious, much better than popsicles."
