Liu Xiangqian's words were trying to save face for himself, but they caused the other children to look at Lin Ping with hot eyes, and Lin Ping was full of heat.

Liu Xiangqian touted himself like this, and Lin Ping felt that his responsibility was a little more arduous.

"Okay, Liu Xiangqian is also back. Teacher Ma said, "We are ready to raise the national flag." ”

"Hmm. Lin Ping nodded.

At this time, nine of the ten students enrolled in the rural primary school in the Kushan Mountain Area stood in front of the flagpole, and only that Wang Yige was unable to stand here because he went to the city with his parents to work and was not in the Kushan Mountain area.

"Come, Teacher Lin, Principal Lin, you are now the principal of our Kushan Mountain Village Primary School, and this glorious task of raising the national flag is entrusted to you!"

Ma Zhongguo handed the folded square flag to Lin Ping's hand.

Lin Ping took over the somewhat faded national flag, and he felt heavy in his hand, as if what he was holding was not only a national flag, but also the hope for the development of education in backward areas and the patriotic spirit of the Chinese people who worked hard.

The nine children on the opposite side looked at Lin Ping with blazing eyes, Lin Ping's hand trembled slightly and opened the national flag, and then pinched a horn and raised it violently-

The shining five-star red flag fluttered under the blue sky of Kushan.

"Raise the national flag!" Sing the national anthem!" shouted the elderly teacher Ma in a loud voice.

The nine children raised their right hands above their heads to salute the "Young Pioneers", and their eyes stared intently at the five-star red flag fluttering in Lin Ping's hand.

Lin Ping's hand trembled slightly, and he hung the five-star red flag on the rope, and then pulled the rope to send the five-star red flag into the sky little by little.

"Rise up, you who do not want to be slaves!"

The children's singing voices were high-pitched and loud, and their voices turned into a stream of spirit, slowly rising into the sky with the five-star red flag.

In his memory, in the schools in the city, many students sang the national anthem with a distracted appearance, and even some of them just opened their mouths and did not make a sound, compared to the children in front of them, they obviously lacked that kind of reverence from the heart.

The five-star red flag fluttered in the wind, and the children's singing hovered overhead for a long time.

What is it?

That's hope.

Lin Ping looked at these children, he suddenly realized that not only the children should be watchers, but also the children should be participants, so after everyone sang the national anthem, Lin Ping said: "Students, I am Lin Ping, your future teacher, and the principal of this school. Today, I announce the first thing I will do when I take up the post of Kushan Mountain Rural Primary School!"

The nine children and Teacher Ma all looked at Lin Ping, waiting for him to announce something.

"I declare: From now on, you will be the flag bearer every day, one person for one day, and the cycle will repeat. Lin Ping said loudly, "And I will watch you raise the national flag below." ”

"Really? Mr. Lin?"

All the children's eyes widened with delight.

Before Lin Ping's future, Ma Zhongguo regarded the national flag as a precious treasure, except for himself, he hardly let anyone touch it, and occasionally when he was not at school, he would carefully hand over the national flag to the older and most stable child in the class, and let him raise the national flag instead of Ma Zhongguo.

As soon as he heard Lin Ping announce such a decision, Ma Zhongguo said anxiously: "Is it okay? They will crumple the national flag." ”

Lin Ping looked at Ma Zhongguo's eyes: "This glory and hope should be raised by the children's own hands, they are our future." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

The children below shouted excitedly, full of great enthusiasm and reverence in their eyes.

[System: You have gained great favor and respect from the students!]

Lin Ping looked at the children and smiled, he knew that the flag raiser was a great honor for every child, and he had thought about becoming a flag raiser in the school when he was a child, but unfortunately he had not been able to succeed. Today, in this Kushan Mountain Rural Primary School, it is the first time in his life that he is honored to become a flag raiser.

"However, I can say that if anyone makes a mistake and does not study well in the future, then we will cancel his qualification to raise the flag that day and let the next student replace him. Ma Zhongguo saw that he could no longer change Lin Ping's opinion, so he added an additional condition.

"No, no!"

"We must listen to the teacher and study hard!"

Children are scrambling to make commitments.

"Alright, let's go back to the classroom!" Lin Ping said.

"Teacher, may I ask a question?"

At this time, Liu Qingmei suddenly spoke.

"Of course you can!" Lin Ping replied with a smile.

Liu Qingmei lowered her head and whispered: "I used to hear my father say that there are very developed big cities on the eastern coast of my country, they are all called cities, where high-rise buildings are higher than the sky, everyone has four-wheeled cars, they never have to wear old clothes, and at night the whole sky is not dark, but gorgeous and colorful, like a rainbow ......"

"Yes, yes, yes, I've heard that they can eat meat every day. Liu Dazhu pouted a little disappointed, "I can only eat it once in a long time." ”

"Is this true?" Liu Qingmei raised her head to look into Lin Ping's eyes, and the other students also looked at Lin Ping with expectant eyes.

After listening to Liu Qingmei's description, Lin Ping suddenly felt that his eyes were a little astringent, and he said, "Yes, it's true." ”

Liu Qingmei lowered her head and fiddled with her patched clothes in frustration and said, "Then why are we so much worse here......?"

The whole world fell silent, and the children fell silent.

Lin Ping's throat moved, his eyes were a little blurry, and he looked at the children's eyes and said: "No, of course not, you have to remember: under the sky of the five-star red flag, the motherland has not given up on any citizen and any place! The motherland has never forgotten you, and is actively working to help you, one day, there will be towering buildings here, and you will also see colorful nights, and I am the one who has come to help you." ”

"Really?"

"Yes," Lin Ping nodded, "There are many bustling cities that used to be as poor as here......

"How long will it take?" asked Liu Xiangqian.

"It takes time for your generation to grow up, only if you work hard to learn knowledge, go out of this mountain and enter the city, and when you become famous and make a lot of money, then come back to help your fathers and villagers, help this mountain and help this land, and this place will take off and develop. Lin Ping touched Liu Xiangqian's head.

"Really?"

The children's eyes widened.

"Of course!" Lin Ping said without hesitation.

"Then I must make a lot of money, and then come back here to build a building, which is higher than this mountain!

The other children also chirped about the future.

[System: You have gained great favor and respect from the students!]

Education is the best and most fundamental way to get rid of poverty and promote the development of backward areas.

Lin Ping smiled and didn't speak, he believed that this group of children had a great future, but he was afraid that this group of children would lose their original intentions under the pressure of life when they grew up, and forgot the promise he made today.
