Shen Qiqi stood on the school playground, watching the children chasing each other, laughing and playing, like a group of happy little sparrows.

But she couldn't be happy. Her brows were furrowed and her heart was beating like a rabbit.

Uncle Zhang’s words, “Who will be held responsible if anything goes wrong?” are like a magic sound that lingers in my ears and cannot be shaken off.

This new education program is like walking on a tightrope. If you are not careful, you will fall to pieces.

"Comrade Shen Qiqi, please come here." The old principal stood at the door of the office with his hands behind his back, looking like an old cadre.

Shen Qiqi's heart skipped a beat, and she felt that something was going to happen.

She took a deep breath and walked over with courage.

"Principal, you're looking for me?"

The old principal pushed his reading glasses on his nose and said slowly, "I don't think your new plan is appropriate."

Shen Qiqi felt a chill in her heart. It had indeed come! "Principal, this plan..."

"I know you're doing this for the children's good," the old principal interrupted her, "but this method is too new. I'm afraid our village won't be able to handle it." He paused, then added, "Who will be held responsible if something goes wrong? Can you handle this responsibility?"

Wow, how come the old principal also learned Uncle Zhang’s lines?

Shen Qiqi really wanted to cry but had no tears.

She patiently explained: "Principal, this new plan..."

Before she could finish, Liu the Blacksmith rushed over and shouted, "Principal, I heard you want to let the children play all day? How can this be allowed? If the children don't work hard at blacksmithing, how will they support themselves in the future?"

The old principal nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "That's right! Studying is not as practical as blacksmithing. Liu the blacksmith is right!"

Shen Qiqi felt like she was about to collapse.

Why do these two people act like stubborn old men?

At this time, Lu Qing's nephew ran over, pulled Shen Qiqi's clothes and said, "Aunt San, I want to learn new knowledge!"

Seeing the child's eager eyes, Shen Qiqi felt a glimmer of hope in her heart.

She turned to look at the old principal and Liu the blacksmith, and said firmly: "What the children need is a more comprehensive education, not..."

Before she could finish her words, the young teacher Zhao came over with a helpless look on his face, gently pulled her sleeve and shook his head.

Shen Qiqi looked at Teacher Zhao's hesitant expression and felt a bad premonition surge in her heart...

Shen Qiqi felt like she was splashed with a basin of cold water, chilling her from head to toe.

She lowered her head, her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyelids, and her whole body exuded a faint sense of loss.

This group of old stubborn people are simply unyielding!

Is she really going to give up?

Just when she was about to lose heart, a big warm hand held her arm and pulled her to a corner.

Shen Qiqi raised her head and met Lu Qing's deep eyes.

His eyes were like a deep pool, calm yet full of power, as if silently saying: Don't be afraid, I am here.

Shen Qiqi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Lu Qing's eyes were so focused and affectionate that she felt like she was being sucked into a huge whirlpool.

She felt her cheeks getting slightly hot and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

At this moment full of opposition and doubt, Lu Qing's trust and support were like a bright light, illuminating the way forward for her.

"Don't worry," Lu Qing's low voice sounded in her ears, as sweet as a cello, "You did everything right."

His words were like a shot of adrenaline, instantly dispelling the haze in Shen Qiqi's heart.

Lu Qing's eyes were full of control, giving her a full sense of security.

She took a deep breath, and the fire in her heart rekindled.

"Yeah!" Shen Qiqi nodded heavily, her eyes becoming firm.

She looked at Lu Qing, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.

"Aunt San, don't be afraid, I support you!" Lu Qing's nephew came running over at some point, his little face full of determination.

"Good boy, you have good taste!" Shen Qiqi smiled and touched his head, feeling warm in her heart.

"We shouldn't give up," Shen Qiqi turned to look at Lu Qing, her eyes filled with fighting spirit. "Since they think the plan is too trendy, then we should make it more down-to-earth! Let these old stubborn people see what real education is!"

"Okay, let's do it together!"

At this moment, Teacher Zhao suddenly came over with a stack of materials in his hand. "Teacher Shen, I have some records about the learning situation of the children in this village. They may be useful to you."

Shen Qiqi took the information and her eyes lit up. This was simply like sending a pillow to someone when they were sleepy!

She opened the document and browsed through it quickly, her brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

"Take a look at this!" Shen Qiqi pointed to a piece of data in the document and said to Lu Qing, "Maybe we can start from here..."

"Yeah," Lu Qing nodded, moved closer to Shen Qiqi, and the two began to discuss in a low voice.

"Aunt San, I want to help too!" Lu Qing's nephew shouted excitedly.

Shen Qiqi looked at the two of them, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. A mysterious smile slowly curled up at the corner of her mouth, "Perhaps, we should hold a secret meeting..."

At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly broke the silence, "What are you mumbling about?" Old Mrs. Lu appeared behind them at some point, her face gloomy, and she walked towards them step by step...

The sudden appearance of Mrs. Lu was like a bomb, instantly detonating the tense atmosphere at the scene.

Shen Qiqi's heart skipped a beat. Is this old lady born in the year of the dog?
