An apartment in the southern suburbs of Jiangcheng City.

The retired old man sat in the yard and looked at the flowers and plants he had planted this year.

As a former primary school teacher, Zhang Shunli has been very fond of growing flowers and plants since he retired.

He loves these flowers and plants.

I especially like to watch them slowly grow from the buds and blossom and bear fruit.

Watching butterflies flutter among the flowers, he always thinks of his life.

He's the kind of teacher who goes from first grade all the way up to sixth grade!

One by one, the lovely little children were sent to him.

Then, they grew tall and graduated from his class with childishness.

Year after year, day after day.

He went from a high-spirited young man to slowly gray temples, and then one day, the leaders of the school came, and the leaders of the city's education bureau also came.

They all said: Teacher Zhang has worked hard, congratulations on retirement!

Oh......

Zhang Shunli was stunned at that moment.

Retire?

More than 30 years of teaching career, this is the end?

Am I old too?

He sighed thinking about what had happened two months ago.

Jingle Bell ......

There was a doorbell ringing at the entrance of the courtyard.

Zhang Shunli stood up and walked to the door.

A postman appeared in front of him: "Teacher Zhang, this is your Teacher's Day greeting card and greeting letter......

The postman loaded a large collection of greeting cards and letters into a purple box and handed it to him.

"Oh......" Zhang Shunli nodded: "Thank you for your hard work!" ”

"It's not hard!" A smile appeared on the young face of the postman.

Then, he bowed deeply to Zhang Shunli, and then said goodbye.

This has been a tradition of the Federal Empire for thousands of years.

Respect for teachers and education!

The social status of the teacher is very high!

In the councils of ministers and doctors at all levels, a considerable number of members of the council who have never been able to shake the thunder are selected from among the teachers.

Holding the purple box, Zhang Shunli walked back.

"It's Teacher's Day again......" he said softly, it was his first Teacher's Day that he hadn't had at school.

Retired teachers are more or less unaccustomed to it.

He took the box and sat down on a chair in the courtyard.

Then I opened it, and there was a thick pile of greeting cards and letters.

For more than 30 years, he has brought almost seven classes and sent almost 300 children to junior high school.

The eldest of them is in his forties, and the youngest is only six years old and has just entered the first grade......

So greeting cards come in a variety of forms.

Some are small, some are large.

Some are plain, some are gorgeous.

There are even some greeting cards with some coupons.

Consumption vouchers, holiday vouchers, airline vouchers, ......

And so on.

Zhang Shunli looked at the greeting cards and letters in the box, and he laughed: "After more than 30 years of hard work, there is still some harvest after all!" ”

As a teacher, what he likes most is to see that the children he once taught have now become members of this society and can support a family.

That's what makes me feel accomplished!

That's what makes you satisfied!

So, he sat up straight, ready to take a serious look at the cards and letters.

From the greeting cards and letters, he can know how his students are doing now.

"Huh!" Zhang Shunli was suddenly surprised.

Because, this year, the order of greeting cards seems to have changed.

At the top was no longer his greeting card from his student, who was now the political secretary of the kingdom in the royal palace of the Western Song Kingdom.

It's an ordinary-looking, unremarkable greeting card.

"I have another student and become a big shot?" Zhang Shunli laughed.

Although, he doesn't really care about the achievements of his students.

I just hope that they will grow up smoothly and not become traitors.

However, the Imperial Post Office attaches great importance to rituals and rules.

Every year, the greeting cards and letters are inevitably arranged in order of status.

Therefore, the greeting card or letter at the top must be the highest status of all students.

Zhang Shunli smiled and picked up the greeting card.

"Let me see, who sent this?"

He took it to his eyes and looked at the text on the cover of the greeting card.

This is an ordinary greeting card that can be bought casually on the side of the road, and it is also a very standard greeting card.

The students bowed to the teacher Zhang Gongshun again and congratulated the teacher on Teacher's Day, wishing the teacher: happy holidays, good health, and a happy family......

Yang Yang greeting card, there was nothing in it.

I opened it and looked at it, and it was still the same.

Looking at the congratulatory message, except for the student's name and his own name and holiday greetings, everything else is printed.

"Peace of mind?" Teacher Zhang Shunli's brows furrowed slightly.

He couldn't remember that he had taught a student named Ling Ping'an.

But......

Looking at the words and greetings on this greeting card, I don't know why, Mr. Zhang Shunli suddenly felt a hundred times more energetic.

It seems that the feeling of youth is back.

Suddenly, Zhang Shunli smelled a fragrance.

He looked up and saw that the flowers and plants in his yard were blooming one by one.

The garden is full of spring, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing!

……………………………………

Qin An walked on crutches in the empty courtyard.

He watched, a little distracted.

In a trance, he felt as if he was back at school.

He stood at the gate of the middle school and watched the students walk into the school gate.

When the students saw him, they couldn't help but bow their heads.

Because he is the dean of students, the demon in the hearts of all students!

But......

Looking at the empty courtyard, the former dean of teaching, sighed.

"Old......" he said, "Old......"

It's been seven or eight years since I retired.

He missed school more and more.

It's a pity, I'm old!

I remember that this time last year, he was still able to go back to school by himself.

Right now......

But he could only walk on crutches, and under the worry and service of his family, he slowly walked in the yard of his home.

It's not okay to be unconvinced!

"Father!" At this time, the son, who had just come back from work, was carrying a briefcase and a purple box, and handed it to him with a smile: "This is the Teacher's Day greeting card and congratulatory letter you received this year......

Qin An looked at it and laughed: "There are still people who remember my old bones!" ”

"Of course!" The son smiled and said, "You used to be scary...... However, the students will understand your good ...... when they grow up."

He had also been a member of his father's school, and of course knew that this stern father had a reputation among the students.

Qin Yantou, Qin Devil, Qin Buqun......

One by one, nicknames were buttoned on their heads.

However, as the students grow up and slowly enter the society, there will always be some people who remember.

Remember that it was under the clutches of this Qin Yantou, Qin Devil, and Qin Buqun that they did not embark on the crooked path and could have today!

So, slowly, there were more greeting cards and letters.

Qin An sat on a chair in the courtyard with the help of his son.

The sun is shining on my body, and it is warm.

Qin An opened the box.

There were more than a hundred letters and greeting cards inside, and they were about the same as usual.

It's just that......

The greeting card at the top, but the person has changed.

No longer the student who had become the Deputy Speaker of the Vice-Chancellor of the Northwest Governorate of the Federal Empire.

It's a brand new simple greeting card.

Qin An picked it up, and he said with a smile: "It seems that I have another student!" ”

For teachers, it is always something to be proud of to be able to educate a student who is promising.

He looked at the greeting card, at the words on the greeting card.

"The student's spirit is peaceful, and he bows to the teacher Qin Gong again......"

"Wish: a happy and auspicious ...... family"

Very simple and unpretentious greeting cards.

The text is neat, but it's just neat.

Beyond that, there is no superfluous information, let alone any superfluous words.

"Peace of mind?!" Qin An looked at his son, he couldn't remember that he had taught such a student.

His son shook his head, he didn't remember such a person.

Qin An stood up in a daze.

He looked ahead, at the old peach tree in the yard.

It's blooming!

Bright peach blossoms bloom in this season that is not the flowering season.

The fragrance of flowers is pervasive.

And his son stared blankly at his father.

After suffering a stroke last winter, my old father, who had to rely on crutches to stand up, can now stand up without the help of crutches!

"Father!" He exclaimed, "You are on your feet! You're ready to stand up! ”

Qin An lowered his head and looked at his body.

He tried to take a few steps forward, and every step was steady!

He took the greeting card in his hand and said, "It seems that there is a great man among my students!" ”

"It's a prophecy!"

"This is the ability that only ancient saints have!"

As a decades-old dean, he certainly knows that there are unknown forces in this world.

But......

The power of these inhumans can actually do this?

A word falls and the flowers bloom, and a word is sent to the disease!?

It's a pity that he can't remember when he had a student named Ling Ping'an?

He hurriedly went to find his study where he collected greeting cards, so he found this name called Ling Ping'an in the greeting cards every year.

From 10 years ago to now......

Greeting cards are sent every year.

But......

"I watch it every year...... he wondered, "why don't you have any impression at all?" ”

So, he sat down in front of the computer in the study, opened the computer curiously, entered his school's website, and began to search.

Enter the student's name: Ling Ping'an.

"Your permissions are insufficient!"

That's all I can see!

The old teacher immediately understood, and he turned off the computer and looked at his son, who was walking in.

"Don't talk about today's events......"

"Not a word!"

"This is a state secret!"

But in fact, he was doing it redundantly.

Because in a few days he and his family will forget about today's events.

Not even the slightest impression will remain!

When they dream back at midnight, they may be able to recall a little memory, but after all, this is just an episode in their lives.

It's like a wave stirring up in a river.

…………………………………………

Sitting at his desk, Situ He looked at the numbers that kept appearing on the computer.

1、2、3……

These are the search data for the teacher's intranet.

"It seems that the target's greeting card really has some kind of magical effect......" he thought.

If not, the intranet search data will not appear all of a sudden.

"Let's wait for the investigation report......" He turned off his computer, not at all worried about the leakage of his target's basic information.

Because......

Archives of data and information about Him have been classified as top secret.

No one can access it without authorization!
