On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the deserted school gradually became lively with the arrival of students one after another. Lin Ping also brought Liu Qingmei, who was alone at home, to the school to have a New Year's banquet with everyone.

"Teacher!"

Liu Dazhu was sent over by his father, and he ran into the school happily, his father carrying a lot of things and following behind.

"Teacher, this is a gift from my father and me to the two teachers!" Liu Dazhu took the gift from his father's hand and handed it to Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo.

Ma Zhongguo opened the bag containing the gift and looked at it, the gift was a bit expensive, and hurriedly said, "How can this be done, you can take it quickly." ”

Liu Dazhu's father lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "This is as it should be, without the two teachers, there would be no Liu Dazhu today." ”

Ma Zhongguo said with a smile: "I don't have any credit, it's all Mr. Lin's, and it's all done by Mr. Lin." ”

Liu Dazhu's father looked at Lin Ping and said a little crampedly: "I misunderstood you before, I will compensate you here again." ”

As he spoke, Liu Dazhu's father bent down and bowed awkwardly to Lin Ping.

"Uncle Liu, you can do it. It is also what I, as a teacher, should do to make Dazhu have a brighter future. Lin Ping hurriedly helped Liu Dazhu's father up.

Liu Dazhu's father took the opportunity to hold Lin Ping's hand tightly, and then said heavily: "Benefactor." ”

"Uncle Liu, you are serious...... Lin Ping didn't know what to say, so he immediately asked, "The children are eating here tonight, you can stay too." ”

Liu Dazhu's father shook his head with a smile: "No, no, you teachers and students have a meal together, and it's fun, I won't participate as an outsider, this time I'm here to give you gifts." ”

After speaking, Liu Dazhu's father turned around and was about to leave.

"Uncle Liu, take these gifts back! Our teachers can't accept gifts from parents. Lin Ping said.

Liu Dazhu's father turned his head and said, "Why can't you accept it? If you don't accept it, you will throw it away! Besides, is this a gift from a parent?"

Liu Dazhu smirked and said, "Teacher, this is not sent by my father, this is sent by me!"

Liu Dazhu's father was resolute, and he didn't give Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo a chance to be humble at all, and just threw off his steps and left, leaving Liu Dazhu standing in place and smirking.

Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo glanced at each other with a helpless expression.

In addition to Liu Dazhu, there were also other students who brought things from home, some brought half a chicken, and some brought a piece of bacon. Liu Xiangqian originally came empty-handed, but when he saw that the other classmates had brought things, he immediately turned around and ran to the house to get his things without saying a word, but no one else could stop him.

Lin Ping took Liu Weiguo and Li Shulin to the classroom, lifted the table out and carried it to the courtyard to make a big table, and then found a bed with clean sheets and spread it on it, and then took out the dishes and chopsticks and put them on the table.

Ma Zhongguo was there to stir-fry, Liu Qingmei was on the side to help, and the other children were playing and laughing.

The smoke curls and there is harmony.

The meal began to be served, and at this time, Wang Xinming appeared at the school gate on a brand-new tricycle humming a song, and was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene in the school, and then said happily: "Okay, you guys have a really happy day!"

"It's better to come early than to come by chance, Brother Xinming, come and sit down!" Lin Ping beckoned.

"Okay. Wang Xinmin agreed, and then began to unload things from the three wheels, "I came today to send you and Teacher Ma some good things, what a coincidence!"

Wang Xinming said as he removed a box of instant noodles, two bottles of liquor, a cheap cigarette and two fireworks from the tricycle.

The students happily gathered around and shouted happily, "Wow! instant noodles!"

"Teacher, Teacher, I want to eat instant noodles!"

"I want to, I want to!"

Several children stared at the instant noodles intently and shouted, saliva about to run down the corners of their mouths.

Instant noodles, known as "junk food", are a rare luxury for these children in the mountains, and convenience has a fatal attraction for them, and even has the same status as meat and eggs in their hearts. In fact, it is not only the children in the mountains, but also many children in the city who have a desire for instant noodles that adults cannot understand.

"Okay, okay!" Lin Ping said with a smile, "Let's eat first, and then make a bowl of instant noodles by ourselves, okay?"

"Good!" the children shouted in unison.

"Uncle Xinming, what is this?" Feng Xiao asked, pointing to the fireworks.

Liu Weiguo hurriedly said: "Didn't you see what was written on it? Fireworks!"

"Fireworks...... What kind of flower is it?" asked the little girl Liu Yinglan with a puzzled expression.

"Fireworks, is it the fireworks that can explode in the air when they fly into the sky?" Feng Xiao said in an excited tone.

"That's right!" Wang Xinming nodded and said with a smile.

"Great...... Are you going to put it tonight?"

Feng Xiao was incoherent with excitement, and the other children were also excited, fireworks are a luxury for this place in this era. People in mountain villages prefer to buy relatively cheap firecrackers, and fireworks, which are impractical and expensive, are not in their scope at all.

Wang Xinming glanced at Lin Ping, Lin Ping nodded, and Wang Xinming said: "Yes, let's put it tonight!

"Good!" the children puffed up.

"Eat first!" Lin Ping beckoned the children to sit down around the table.

"Teacher, instant noodles!" Li Shulin never forgot the instant noodles.

As soon as Li Shulin shouted, the other children also shouted: "Instant noodles!"

"Let's eat the vegetables first, and then eat instant noodles after eating, okay?" Lin Ping said with a smile.

The children nodded reluctantly.

"Let's eat!"

Lin Ping gave an order, and the children grabbed the chopsticks on the table to pick up the vegetables.

The children were very happy to eat, and Liu Xiangqian didn't even enjoy eating and grabbed it with his hands.

Lin Ping knocked the back of Liu Xiangqian's hand hard with chopsticks: "Liu Xiangqian, who told you to do it?"

Liu Xiangqian hurriedly smiled and put his hand away.

"Didn't your parents set a rule for you at the dinner table?" Lin Ping said solemnly, "In the future, you are not allowed to eat! Second, you only need to clip the food in front of you, not the food on other people's side!"

The atmosphere at the dinner table froze suddenly.

"Li Shulin, it's you, why don't you clip this dish from your side? Do you have to clip it from this side across the plate?" Lin Ping asked.

Li Shulin smiled wryly: "Teacher, there's a lot of meat over there......"

"You can't clip it here, you know, it's very rude, and it's only a nuisance kid who does it. Lin Ping said and turned the direction of the plate, "Okay, now remember that in the future, you can only clip your own side when you eat, don't go to other people's side." ”

Wang Xinming smiled and played a round game: "The children in the mountains are small, they are not sensible, and they don't pay so much attention to ......."

"It's because I'm ignorant that I have to teach them, otherwise it will form a habit and do it when I grow up, which is a shameful thing at the dinner table, and other people will have no appetite. Lin Ping said with a smile.

"By the way, don't rummage over the dishes on the plate when you eat in the future, you can eat whatever you find. ”

Lin Ping's words are quite authoritative in the hearts of this group of children, although it is a bit inappropriate to say these things on this occasion, but Lin Ping must get rid of the bad habits of this group of children. Why do some city dwellers look down on country people? A lot of things are caused by etiquette and details. Lin Ping didn't want this group of children to enter the city in the future and be scolded for being uneducated because of the problem of eating.

"Okay, everyone must keep in mind the three points that the teacher just said in the future, and don't have those three situations when eating, only in this way will you be a good student who is civilized and polite. Lin Ping said, "If you can't tell the teacher, the teacher will help you clip!"

The little girl Liu Yinglan opened her mouth and said, "Teacher, I want to eat chicken, I can't reach it!"

Lin Ping picked up the small bowl in front of Liu Yinglan and sandwiched a few pieces of chicken for him.

"Thank you, teacher!" Liu Yinglan said with a smile while holding a small bowl.

Soon, the anger at the dinner table recovered, everyone was talking and laughing and eating the food, and the children were childish, often saying things that made Lin Ping, Ma Zhongguo and Wang Xinming laugh.

"Teacher, instant noodles!"

Halfway through the meal, Li Shulin never forgot to mention the instant noodles again.

"Yes, teacher, instant noodles!"

The other children followed suit.

"Okay, the teacher will make instant noodles for you!"

Saying that, Lin Ping went back to the house and picked up a pot of hot water, and Liu Qingmei followed behind him and also carried a pot of hot water, and then said with a smile: "Teacher, I'll help you!"

"Okay, thank you, Qingmei Liu. Lin Ping said with a smile, "Be careful not to let the hot water burn, don't burn your classmates and don't burn yourself." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Qingmei nodded.

The two of them soaked instant noodles in everyone's bowls, and then changed them with packaging bags on them, and several children were hungry to eat them on the spot.

Lin Ping hurriedly called out to them and said with a smile: "Wait! You see you are in a hurry, the noodles have not yet boiled, wait for two minutes and the teacher will eat it when he says it's okay." ”

The children put down their chopsticks and didn't go to eat other dishes, and stared at the instant noodles.

Lin Ping estimated that the time was almost free and soaked, so he said, "Okay, you can eat it." ”

The children lowered their heads and devoured the bowl, sucking the noodles into their mouths, and drinking not even the soup left in the bowl.

"Is it that delicious?" Lin Ping asked with a smile.

"It's delicious!" replied the children in unison.

"It's better than meat!" Liu Dazhu said with a smirk.

Lin Ping shook his head helplessly: "You guys, you just eat less." ”
