"Students, from tomorrow, you will officially have winter vacation!"

After the class in the afternoon, Lin Ping stood on the podium and announced with a smile, with some reluctance in his tone.

At this time, the time is exactly a week before the Spring Festival, and the rural schools in the Kushan Mountains should be the last schools in China to have their winter vacation. However, this is with the consent of students and parents, and for Liu Qingmei and other students, being able to study in class has always been a more fun and fulfilling thing than the holidays.

For parents in the Kushan Mountains, winter is the time of winter leisure, and it is a terrible thing for students to be at home early, with no farm work to help and no one to take care of them. Especially the boys who can't do it, their children are the little overlords in the mountains, in addition to not being able to go to the sky and the earth, once no one looks at anything, they can do anything, chickens and dogs jump, dogs and cats are annoying, and the neighborhood is not peaceful.

It is a very happy thing for them to have teachers help to supervise this group of children after a while of school and vacation, so that parents can rest assured about what to do.

"Ah, teacher, are we going on a holiday?" Feng Xiao asked very happily, "I don't have anything to do when I go home from vacation." ”

"Play with our boys!" Liu Xiangqian said excitedly while packing his schoolbag, "Look what baby we bought!"

As he spoke, Liu Xiangqian took out a box of "Big Red Eagle" children's firecrackers from his schoolbag.

"I have it too! I have it too!" Li Shulin took out a box of "Black Widow" children's firecrackers from his school bag.

"Yours can't do it!" Liu Xiangqian said, "Not as strong as me!"

Li Shulin said unconvinced: "Who said it, I'm so loud!"

"Cut! You boys can play by yourself, it's boring, how dangerous!" Feng Xiao pouted.

Lin Ping saw the firecrackers that Liu Xiangqian and Li Shulin took out, and hurriedly reminded them vigilantly: "You two must be careful when setting off firecrackers, pay attention to safety! Don't set them off in crowded places, haystacks, firewood piles, and other flammable materials! Be vigilant against fires! Don't forget how the teacher gives you a safety education lesson." ”

"Hehe, don't worry, teacher, I know!" Liu Xiangqian agreed, but he didn't look like he really took it to heart.

Lin Ping was worried and planned to tell Liu Xiangqian a few more words, but was interrupted by what Liu Qingmei said.

"Teacher, are you going home for the New Year?" Liu Qingmei came to Lin Ping's side and asked softly.

"No, I don't go back. Lin Ping replied casually.

"Ah, why?" the other students asked.

Lin Ping was silent for a while and replied with a smile: "The teacher's hometown is too far away from here to go back, so the teacher will stay here." ”

"That's great!" Liu Xiangqian said happily, "You go to my house for the New Year, teacher!"

"Go to my house, go to my house!" Li Shulin argued.

"Haha, thank you Liu Xiangqian and Li Shulin for the invitation, I still stay in the school and be with you Teacher Ma, the Chinese New Year is a day of family reunion, and I won't be an outsider anymore. Lin Ping smiled and stretched out his hand to touch the heads of each of the two children.

At this time, Liu Dazhu, who was returning home from vacation, stretched out his head outside the door and smiled at Lin Ping, and then shouted to Liu Xiangqian: "Brother Xiangqian, let's go, play!"

"Okay! Wait for me, right away!"

Liu Xiangqian then said to Lin Ping: "Then the teacher, you won't go anywhere in the past few days, just at school?"

Lin Ping thought for a while and said, "Yes." ”

"Then you can just play with us, let me tell you that we have a good entertainment program, but it's fun. Liu Xiangqian said mysteriously.

Lin Ping patted Liu Xiangqian's head: "Come home from school, how old is the teacher and still playing with you?"

"By the way, the start date of school, if you don't have anything to do after the New Year, it will be set on the seventh day of the first month. Lin Ping said in an inquiring tone.

"Okay, teacher. The students agreed.

Seeing the students leave the school, Lin Ping said loudly: "You must pay attention to safety during the Chinese New Year!"

"Got it, teacher!"

Answers from several children floated in from afar.

The students were gone, and Ma Zhongguo took out pen, ink, paper, inkstone and red paper from the room and put them in the classroom.

In addition to the usual time Wang Xinming will come to Kushan to collect pigs, during the Chinese New Year, he will also drive his car to pull a cart of New Year's goods into the mountains to sell in several villages in the Kushan Mountains.

Lin Ping joked that he was a primitive capitalist, and the money earned by the villagers from selling pigs went back to him, Wang Xinming.

"Come, college student, write Spring Festival couplets!"

Ma Zhongguo's face was full of smiles, Ma Zhongguo's role in this bitter mountain is not only to be a teacher to teach, but also to help the villagers write Spring Festival couplets during the Chinese New Year, and help the villagers write something during the red and white celebrations. Ma Zhongguo wrote a good calligraphy.

"I won't write. Lin Ping smiled awkwardly.

"You don't know how to use a brush?" Ma Zhongguo frowned slightly and said, "This is the quintessence of the ancestors left behind." ”

"Yes, yes," Lin Ping said even more embarrassedly, "but I can't do anything other than holding a pen, it's too ugly to write." ”

Ma Zhongguo shook his head and said: "College students, you will have the opportunity to practice more in the future, don't lose the traditional skill of brush calligraphy." ”

"Yes, it would. Lin Ping nodded.

"That's okay, college student, you have a high level of education, you come to think of couplets, and I'll write them. In the past few days, some villagers from nearby villages will come to me to ask for couplets, so let's write some in advance first, so that we can save time and be too busy. Ma Zhongguo rolled up his sleeves, and then dipped a brush in the ink in the inkstone.

Lin Ping touched his chin and said, "Then how many should I have?"

"Okay, come!" Ma Zhongguo held the brush in his hand and was ready to go.

Lin Ping opened his mouth and said softly: "Winter goes to spring, flowers bloom, and people are healthy after suffering." Horizontal criticism: Blessings in the world!"

"Okay!" Ma Zhongguo shouted, and then waved his brush and wrote on the red paper what Lin Ping said, "One more!"

"The wind and rain are in the prosperous times, and the lucky stars are shining high and the blessings are full of blessings. Horizontal criticism: Guotai Min'an!"

"Good!"

Ma Zhongguo's pen walks the dragon and snake, and the strong and powerful characters are displayed on the red paper, and in Lin Ping's eyes, this brush is no worse than those calligraphers.

"Come again!"

So Lin Ping blurted out a Spring Festival couplet again, and Ma Zhongguo immediately wrote it down, and the two were happy and discordant.

"College students, we also have to write a pair of Spring Festival couplets at our gate!" Ma Zhongguo raised his head and looked at Lin Ping with a loving smile on his face, "Think about it, what is appropriate to write! Think of a longer one, one that is different, and a little more atmospheric!"

Lin Ping thought for a moment and snapped his fingers: "There you have it!"

"Shanglian: Wuhua Tianbao is an outstanding person, Lingtao and Li are fragrant, and they are full of talents here!"

"What about the next link?" asked Ma Zhongguo.

Lin Ping said with a smile:

"Xialian: Prosperity is changing day by day, and the rejuvenation of China is in sight!"

"Yes, yes, what do you say?" asked Ma Zhongguo with a smile.

Lin Ping paused for a moment and then said firmly: "Education to rejuvenate the country!"
