Eating can make people feel better, and as the meal was served, Lin Ping and the children gradually recovered, and everyone chatted with laughter.

Wang Xinming didn't forget to tell these children that Lin Ping was good, and said to Liu Qingmei and the others: "You left Kushan to go to high school, do you know that our Kushan has undergone a big change in the month you left, how to say it in one word, yes, it is called earth-shaking." ”

Liu Qingmei's eyes widened when they heard Wang Xinming say this, and their eyes were full of curiosity.

Li Shulin couldn't wait to ask, "Really, Uncle Xinming, tell us what has changed." ”

Wang Xinming took a sip of water and said with a smile: "It's a big change, it's all thanks to you Teacher Lin, no, you can call Teacher Lin, I should be called Principal Lin." ”

Lin Ping was a little embarrassed to be praised by Wang Xinming and hurriedly said: "Brother Xinming, don't say that, it's everyone's credit, come on, let's eat." ”

But Liu Qingmei and the others wanted to hear it, so Wang Xinming slowly told them about the changes in Kushan in the past month, especially in the last half month.

With Wang Xinming's narration, Liu Qingmei, Liu Weiguo, and the others looked at Lin Ping with a little more admiration and gratitude.

Wang Xinming finally said to Liu Xiangqian: "Go forward, don't you want to make money? You have to learn from your teacher Lin, take everyone to get rid of poverty and become rich together, and strive for a well-off life together. ”

Liu Xiangqian glanced at Lin Ping, then nodded silently.

Wang Xinming continued: "What is this called? Yes, it is to encourage some people to get rich first, and then get rich first and lead the latter to get rich. ”

Wang Xinming glanced at the children present and said seriously: "A few of you will become talents sooner or later after the teaching of your teacher Lin, and you will definitely be able to get rich first. We can't forget about us poor people when we get rich. ”

As he spoke, Wang Xinming laughed, and several children also laughed.

Liu Qingmei smiled and said, "No, definitely not." ”

Liu Weiguo also said: "No matter what, I will definitely fund the education cause and poor children in our Kushan!"

Feng Xiao followed and said: "Me too, I think the same as Brother Wei Guo." ”

At this time, Lin Ping opened his mouth and said: "The teacher doesn't want you to help others in the future, or help the fathers and villagers of Kushan as a kind of life burden for yourself. I just want you to remember one sentence: if you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone. Live your own life first, and then do your best to help others and help the elders and villagers in Kushan. ”

Wang Xinming heard it and said: "Yes, what you Teacher Lin said is right, do your best to help our fathers and villagers in Kushan." When the time comes, don't feel that our fathers and villagers in Kushan have become a burden to you because you are powerless, this is not good, and in this case, everyone will definitely not want you to help them. ”

Several of the children nodded.

Lin Ping said: "Eat, everyone eats vegetables, and if you don't eat this dish, it will be cold." ”

After eating a few bites of food, Wang Xinming asked again: "How are you studying in school?"

"It's ok. ”

"It's ok. ”

"It's fine. ”

These "neutral words" have become the words on the lips of almost every child every day in order to respond to the inquiries of their elders.

Feng Xiao said with a smile at this time: "A few of us are fine, but Qingmei Tebi works very hard, which drives me to work hard." ”

After listening to this, Liu Qingmei looked at Lu Lin and said frankly: "No way, we have the mid-term exam next month, our teacher said that after the mid-term exam next month, we will be divided into classes according to the results, and this time the class will be divided into an elite class, and the top fifty grades in this exam are eligible to stay in the elite class of the first year of high school, and the others have to be brushed down and brushed to the ordinary class." ”

Liu Qingmei was a little anxious because of the class assignment, for fear that she would be brushed from the first class to the ordinary class if she didn't do well in the exam, and she really hoped to continue to stay in the elite class. She knew that she could only get a better education by staying in the elite class, and she didn't want Teacher Lin Ping to hope.

As soon as she said this, the smile on Liu Qingmei's face decreased by three points, and her desire to eat also decreased a lot, she looked at Lin Ping and said worriedly: "Teacher, what do you say if I don't get into the top 50 and am brushed from the elite class to the ordinary class?"

Before Lin Ping could answer, Liu Xiangqian rushed to say nonchalantly: "If you can't get into the top 50, you can't get into the top 50, just if you want to stay in the elite class stupidly, I don't want to stay in the elite class." ”

Wang Xinming looked at Liu Xiangqian and asked, "Xiangqian, how do you say this?"

Liu Xiangqian said unashamedly: "I am now ranked 49th in the first class, that is, the penultimate place, and if I enter the ordinary class, it will definitely be the first and second place, how cool it is to go to the ordinary class to be the first and second place, why do you have to go to the elite class to work tirelessly, maybe you can only take the countdown test." ”

Liu Xiangqian said triumphantly: "This is called 'rather for the head of the chicken, not for the tail of the phoenix'." ”

Lin Ping's facial expression was extremely serious when he heard this, and he said in a cold voice, "Why do you have this idea?"

Wang Xinming also said: "That's it, forward, I see that your brain is a pig brain, and you'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail', you are fucking farting!"

Lin Ping said in a cold voice: "Liu Xiangqian, since you want to be a chicken head, why do you want to go to No. 1 Middle School? Give up the quota to Li Shulin and let Li Shulin go to No. 1 Middle School." You go to the third middle school, after you go to the third middle school, you are the first in the whole school, that is not only the chicken head, that is the first chicken head in Xibei. ”

Wang Xinming followed closely and said: "Chicken head? I tell you forward, chicken, always a chicken, no matter what you do, you are still a chicken, and the phoenix tail is the phoenix tail, and people are the tail of the phoenix, even the phoenix tail is stronger than a chicken." ”

Wang Xinming then gave an example: "There is a graduate student in our county who entered the central government and became a small clerk, and when he came back to visit relatives, our county magistrate hurried to pick him up when he found out." You know what? That's the difference between a chicken's head and a phoenix's tail. You should be the head of the chicken, and you should be the head of the chicken when you retreat to the second, that is, you can't be the head of the phoenix. There are thousands of chickens in the world, and there are only a few phoenixes in the sky, so if you can be a phoenix tail, but you can't do it? Who can see you as a chicken head? Among the thousands of chickens, you are counted as a chicken head?"

Lin Ping felt that Wang Xinming's intentions were good, and he didn't want Liu Xiangqian to have such comfortable and negative thoughts like himself, but Wang Xinming's examples and words were not very appropriate.

Lin Ping looked at Liu Xiangqian and said, "Don't be a chicken head or a phoenix tail, but find a way to make yourself a phoenix." If you want to be a chicken head, you can only be a leader of a chicken's class, and when you kill a chicken, whether you are a chicken head, a chicken leg or a chicken butt, you will be killed. And if you want to be a phoenix, then you don't have the spirit of being enterprising and daring to be the first. ”

Lin Ping didn't want Liu Xiangqian to have this kind of idea at a young age, "I'd rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix" itself is an idea of retreating to the second best thing and compromising with reality, just wanting to get "comfort" and "comfort" in the chicken class. If Liu Xiangqian is a middle-aged man who has already experienced the great rights and wrongs, is no longer young, and no longer pursues anything, and just wants to spend the rest of his life in an ordinary way, it is understandable to have this kind of thought.

But if a young man has this kind of idea at a young age, then his life is really ruined, and his goal is to be a chicken head, then in the end, 99% of them can't even make a chicken head.

If you don't even have the courage and fighting spirit to be a phoenix when you're young, then there's no point in being young.

When you are young, you should fight hard, even if Nirvana fails, you can at least smile and say to yourself:

I used to walk through the flames instead of hiding in a cosy corner.
