The process of receiving the visiting delegation was much the same: First, the leaders of the two sides had a cordial meeting in the principal's office, and then went around the campus to see the excellent courses; in the afternoon, a welcoming ceremony was held in the auditorium, and after the ceremony, the group went to a dinner; the next day, the two sides held talks on cooperation matters, and preliminarily agreed on the time for the No. 2 Middle School to return to Britain, and then they should go home.

Of course, if their schedule is not so urgent, Gangcheng No. 2 Middle School will also arrange sightseeing in Gangcheng for them. However, the British still wanted to go to Japan, so they politely declined the sightseeing trip of No. 2 Middle School. Principal Xu did not have any dissatisfaction, but thanked them for saving him an expense.

On April 3, a group of six people from S School arrived at Gangcheng No. 2 Middle School. Four of them were school leaders at School S, and two were accompanying reporters. They came to visit with reporters, Sun Ruiyang did not expect to be wrong, and the leaders of the second lieutenant colonel were impressed by him.

The British are mostly elegant and decent, and this delegation was no exception. After they arrived at No. 2 Middle School, they were humble and kind, and warmly expressed their praise for the port city. They said that Gangcheng is a quiet and beautiful seaside town, without the hustle and bustle of big cities, the climate is warm and humid, and it must be very suitable for human habitation; they also said that Gangcheng No. 2 Middle School is neat and beautiful, and as soon as I enter the school, I hear the sound of reading and feel very energetic.

The headmistress added that she was surprised that they had visited schools in so many countries and that only China seemed to maintain the habit of reading aloud in the morning.

I don't know what her purpose was when she said this, but Principal Xu didn't refute, but smiled, like a serious school leader. If the opposite is a leader from the province or even the central government, it is estimated that he will reveal the attributes of a pug again, and nod vigorously and say yes.

If you want to ask where did the title of "Dogleg Principal" come from? It goes back to many years ago, when Lao Xu was still Xiao Xu. That year, he won the title of a national outstanding teacher, and went to Beijing with the leaders of the Provincial Department of Education to hold a commendation meeting.

The conference was held in an ornate auditorium, and the banquet was followed by the meeting. As soon as the young teacher Xu sat down, he heard the provincial leader shouting, "Xiao Xu, hurry, help me take a picture with the minister!" Principal Xu couldn't help but say, grabbed the camera and jumped up. He moved so fast that he tripped over his chair.

The chairs in the banquet hall are of very good quality and are all genuine solid wood. Principal Xu fell on it, "clicked", and forcibly broke his calf.

It is estimated that Xu Wei also understood when he grew up why he hated the word "don't have horses' legs" so much when he was playing chess.

Back then, a scream broke through the sky, and there was a commotion at the banquet. "Xiao Xu, who came from Hong Kong City, broke his leg in order to take pictures of the leader"! With people's discussions, President Xu's reputation as a "dog-legged" spread. In terms of dealing with leaders, President Xu is indeed unusually courteous. Even if his leg was broken and his nickname was called all over the place, he didn't change much, every time he accompanied the leader to inspect the work, he would show a smile that was more standard than Miss Manners, and kept nodding and bending over, which gave his colleagues goosebumps.

Therefore, this time to receive foreign friends, the children are still worried about the reputation of the "dog-legged principal" don't go abroad, but I didn't expect that in front of the foreign guests, he seemed to be a different person, his waist was straight, and he didn't show any flattery.

Although it is rare to see foreigners in Port City, especially from famous private high schools in the UK, the children do not stare at them curiously, nor do they lie on the classroom window and look down. Because Li Lanzhi has been vaccinated for a month - there is nothing to be curious about, and it will seem very rude to stare at foreign guests in a swarm. If you want to show them the best side, then follow the steps and do what you have to do.

Li Lanzhi's meaning was conveyed through the layers of the class teacher, and finally reached the ears of every child, and it was rare for them to be so obedient in unison. So the foreign guests were also a little strange - they had long assumed that this was a group of "country" students who had never seen the world, and they must have shown great curiosity about their arrival. Elsewhere, they fully enjoyed this "curiosity", but the children of Gangcheng No. 2 Middle School were extraordinarily quiet, and there was a sense of friendliness in the quiet, which made people feel very comfortable.

As a result, they felt that it should not be called "country", but "small town". The countryside is rustic, and the "small town" feels a lot more foreign, and even the kind of small town with a bit of historical accumulation and now the years are quiet.

In the past month's recess exercises, Gangcheng No. 2 Middle School no longer runs exercises, but does radio gymnastics "The Times is Calling". It is estimated that everyone who has done this set of gymnastics has now reached the age of becoming parents! When Qiao Lin was in high school, "The Times is Calling" swept the country, and there were several embarrassing movements in it, and every day there were boys spoofing in the back, making the movements extremely coquettish.

For example, the "kicking exercise" provides them with the opportunity to kick the buttocks of their classmates in the open, they are like fish swimming in the air when they do "shoulder exercises", and they are like a group of zombies spinning around when they "rotate their bodies".

When the foreign guests came to visit, several physical education teachers watched nervously from behind, for fear that this group of naughty ghosts would make some more moths. Fortunately, they know shame, even if their actions are not so standard, but they are trying to follow suit. Therefore, on the day when foreign guests came, it turned out to be the most neat day for recess exercises in No. 2 Middle School.

Standing on the podium to lead the exercise, Jolene completed the task brilliantly, and after doing it, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. But as soon as he turned around, he was dumbfounded again.

A group of blonde guests were standing behind her, and a camera was pointed at her.

A curly-haired young man smiled and asked, "I'm a reporter from the school newspaper of S school, can I interview you?"

Qiao Lin was at a loss for what to do when she was nervous, but fortunately, the school leaders were looking at her with encouraging eyes, so she nodded and replied in English, "Okay." ”

Curly smiled and asked, "Is this your extracurricular activity?"

Jolene was stunned. This time it was my brother's homeroom teacher, Mr. Lu, who thought she didn't understand or couldn't speak, so she whispered, "He's asking you ......."

"Oh, I understand, I'll tell him!" Jolene was so nervous that her heart was pounding, and although she didn't speak English well, she didn't want to lose face in the second middle school, so she racked her brains to organize a limited number of English words: "This is part of the extracurricular activities, the extracurricular activities that are to be carried out every day." ”

Curly continued to ask: "You are dressed in uniform clothes, standing neatly and doing uniform movements, I have only seen such scenes in China. Is it that since you were in elementary school, the state has required you to obey orders like this, to be uniform, and not to show your individuality?"

Curly was still smiling, but Jolene felt a chill. It was as if there was a huge pit in front of her, and she was standing on the edge of the pit. She was afraid that she had misheard, so she glanced at Teacher Lu hesitantly. After hearing Mr. Lu's translation, the leaders of the second lieutenant colonel also looked solemn - the time to come has finally come. But what they didn't expect was that it was Jolene who responded to their interview.

In Jolene's opinion, Curly's smile was tantamount to a sneer. She was heartbroken, let go, and stumbled and said: "That is not an order, but the unity of our nation...... Well, cohesion! If you want to do something well, you can come together spontaneously. Do you have one there?"

Curly understood, but he avoided Jolene's rhetorical question and continued to ask maliciously, "Is this what you've been thinking all along, or have you practiced it in advance?"

Jolene admired him—he could still keep a proper smile when he asked such a snarky question?she was almost going to hit someone!, but she imitated the curly-haired expression without impatience, and said with a smile: "I practiced other questions, but I didn't expect you to ask such a strange question, I can only follow the answer you asked—I'm going to class, goodbye!"

Jolene didn't have time to dwell on whether her words were correct, anyway, she expressed her thoughts, and hurried away. Principal Xu, they didn't expect Qiao Lin to answer so beautifully, and secretly gave a thumbs up.

Curly is probably really a reporter, and after being choked by Jolene, he didn't express any unhappiness, but kept a professional smile. On the way back to the teaching building, Curly suggested to Principal Xu that he wanted to interview the school's most elite students and hear his thoughts.

This move hit Principal Xu's heart, and he readily agreed, and walked away from the playground quickly, saving them from photographing the half-built gymnasium. Sun Ruiyang, who was in class, was called out of the classroom and taken by the teacher to a small picturesque park, where he was interviewed by the British.

Curly reminded him: "I want to understand some of the thoughts of contemporary Chinese teenagers, so our communication may be a little difficult, you really don't need a translator?"

Sun Ruiyang smiled lightly: "Thank you for reminding, I don't need it." ”

Curly Mao signaled that the interview began, Sun Ruiyang introduced himself first, and Curly saw his badge and said: "Your name has 'sun', which means sun." ”

"Yes, so I have a 'yang' in my name, which means 'sun', and my parents want me to be as warm and dazzling as the sun. ”

Sun Ruiyang's fluent English surprised Curly Hair secretly, and he said, "I told your principal to ask him to recommend the best student, and we want to do an interview." He recommended you, do you think you're the best student?"

Sun Ruiyang smiled: "The range of 'excellent' is very wide, I have the confidence to say that I am 'excellent', but I will not blindly and conceitedly say 'the best'." It wasn't so much that the principal recommended me, but that I recommended myself. Because I heard that you come from one of the best high schools in the UK, and your school produces the best of British society. So I said to the principal, if there is an opportunity for an interview, I want to talk to you. ”

"You surprised me. Facing Sun Ruiyang, who was talking eloquently, Curly no longer concealed his thoughts: "To be honest, before coming to Hong Kong City, I heard that this is a coastal city that is not very developed. So I thought it was very shabby, and even thought that the women here had a pair of small feet that had been broken off like the pictures in the book. It is strange to say, why did China have such devastating atrocities at that time?"

Curly said it plainly, but the malicious gaze made people very unhappy. Sun Ruiyang lowered his head and smiled, and calmly accepted: "Your thoughts are very similar to what I thought when I was a child. Before I went to Europe for the first time, I thought that European women were like in the paintings, with their waists tightly wrapped around their waists, and everybody's waist was as thin as a bee's waist.

Sun Ruiyang's words were tantamount to "Mianli needles", and the curly hair finally couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. Sun Ruiyang accepted it when he saw it, and said with a smile: "I said it, that was just my idea when I was a child, probably before I went to elementary school at the age of seven? ”

The unhappiness of the curly hair is about to be hidden—before the age of seven? Is this kid laughing at me for not being as knowledgeable as he was before he was seven?

Sun Ruiyang realized his unhappiness, and he thought, it's time to take the initiative. So he asked, "Are you saying that your books about China still have 'foot binding' and something like that?"
