Shen Qiqi arrived at the village primary school early the next morning. The sky outside was still a little hazy, but her heart was already full of determination.

She pushed open the school gate, and the autumn breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

The leaves of several old poplar trees on campus sway gently in the wind, as if telling the vicissitudes of the village.

Principal Huang was already waiting for her in the office. When he saw Shen Qiqi, a tired smile appeared on his face.

"Sister Shen, you're here really early." He pointed to the documents on the table. "These are the children's schedules. See if there's anything that can be improved."

Shen Qiqi nodded, sat down and looked through the documents carefully.

Although the paper has turned yellow, the writing is still clear.

She couldn't help but feel helpless. The course content was too outdated and the children needed better education.

"Principal Huang, I want to add some new course content, such as science experiments and art classes." Shen Qiqi raised her head and looked at Principal Huang firmly.

Principal Huang's expression turned grim. He sighed and shook his head. "Sister Shen, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I'm powerless. Our village's resources are limited. We can't even get textbooks, let alone experimental equipment and art supplies."

The office was filled with a depressing atmosphere, but Shen Qiqi's gaze became more determined.

She stood up and patted Principal Huang on the shoulder: "Principal Huang, I will find a way, don't worry for now."

After leaving the school, Shen Qiqi decided to go to the town's cultural center to look for resources.

She walked quickly to the cultural center. It was quiet inside with only a few staff members busying around.

She found the cultural librarian in charge of educational resources, Chen, took a deep breath, and spoke firmly: "Librarian Chen, I am Shen Qiqi from the village primary school. I would like to ask for your help in providing some new teaching resources, such as teaching materials, experimental equipment, and art supplies."

Cultural librarian Chen raised his head and glanced at Shen Qiqi coldly, with a clear rejection in his tone: "You've found the wrong person. We have limited resources here, and we prioritize protecting the town's schools. We can't help with the village's request."

Anger welled up in Shen Qiqi's heart, but she didn't give up. She argued, "Mr. Chen, the children in the town are just as important as the children in the village. Our children also need better educational resources. Please consider it. Even a little help would be a great support for us."

Cultural librarian Chen's expression became even more stern, and he responded coldly: "I have made it very clear, resources are limited, you can find a way yourself." After he finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Shen Qiqi standing there, with anger and disappointment intertwined in her heart.

At this time, Lu Qing's nephew Xiaodong ran over and asked expectantly, "Aunt Shen, can new courses really be added?" His clear eyes were full of desire for new knowledge.

Shen Qiqi touched Xiaodong's head and comforted him softly: "Xiaodong, don't worry, Auntie will definitely find a way."

She turned and looked at the gate of the cultural center. She knew that this was just the beginning and the road ahead was still long, but as long as she had faith in her heart, nothing was insurmountable.

As night was about to fall, Shen Qiqi set out on her way home, already having a new plan in mind.

She knew that Lu Qing would definitely help her.

As the night deepened, Shen Qiqi just arrived at the door of her house when she saw Lu Qing running over in a hurry, holding a large stack of books tightly wrapped in brown paper. The smile on his face was brighter than the summer sun: "Qiqi, I found some old textbooks, see if you can use them!"

Shen Qiqi took the book, her fingertips touched the rough paper surface, and the fragrance of ink filled her nose.

She couldn't wait to open it, and when she saw those familiar textbooks, a warm feeling suddenly surged in her heart, as if a desert traveler saw an oasis.

She looked up in surprise and met Lu Qing's eyes full of expectation: "Where did all this come from? It's so timely!"

"I asked my former comrades-in-arms for help. They found it from a second-hand bookstore. Although it's a bit old, it's still usable." Lu Qing scratched his head and smiled innocently.

At that moment, Shen Qiqi felt warm in her heart, like a fire in winter, which completely dispelled all the fatigue and frustration.

"This is really a timely help!" she said happily, her tone full of gratitude.

The next day, Shen Qiqi came to school with the textbooks, but found Teacher Liu sitting in the office with a worried look on his face.

"Teacher Liu, what's wrong with you?" Shen Qiqi asked with concern.

Teacher Liu sighed helplessly, pointing to the new teaching materials on the table, looking confused: "I have never learned these things, how can I teach them? I don't even know what a scientific experiment is." Her tone was full of helplessness and confusion, like a child who couldn't find his way in the fog.

Seeing this, Shen Qiqi couldn't help feeling a little helpless, but she was not discouraged. Instead, she smiled and comforted: "Teacher Liu, it's okay. You can learn if you don't know how! I will teach you!" She patted Teacher Liu on the shoulder, her tone firm and confident, as if injecting her with an invisible strength.

"Really?" Teacher Liu looked at Shen Qiqi doubtfully.

Shen Qiqi smiled slightly: "Of course it's true! If we work together, we will definitely be able to teach the children well!" Her tone was full of energy and passion, like a fighter with chicken blood, which instantly infected Teacher Liu.

As the two were talking, they heard footsteps outside, followed by the voice of Mr. Wang: "Teacher Shen, I have something to talk to you about!"

Shen Qiqi and Teacher Liu looked at each other, and both of them felt a hint of an unusual atmosphere.
