Just then, Wang Dongsheng and a few other teachers were about to lead the students in doing some work.

Upon hearing the commotion, several teachers and students rushed over with their tools, scaring the bear away and rescuing two students.

After hearing Wang Jiachuan's words, Sheng Xiping couldn't help but sigh.

These kids don't understand anything, but they're quite good at causing trouble.

Can you really chase a baby bear? The mother bear with her cubs is fiercer than usual and most likely to hurt people.

"Sigh, I hope those two kids will be alright."

Secretary Wang, I think we should reduce the number of students doing farm work on the mountain in the future. These kids don't actually do much, and they just cause trouble.

Sheng Xiping hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but speak.

"In recent years, there have been quite a few accidents involving students working in the forest farms under our bureau."

Which forest farm was it again? Didn't some students get tick bites and develop tick-borne encephalitis?

The child was fine at first, but then he became silly.

Who was it from our forest farm last year? Didn't they fall off the overlord's fence?

"How dangerous! If something's not handled carefully, you could get run over by a car and die."

Even now, decades from now, schools will have to report to relevant departments for approval to organize any off-campus activities.

Otherwise, the school cannot afford the responsibility should an accident occur.

These days, education isn't valued as much, and students have to do all sorts of chores at school.

Rural schools typically have several large plots of land. Who does all the farm work? The students do it all.

In spring, we plant crops; in summer, weed and clear the land; in autumn, we harvest corn and beans, and sometimes we are responsible for threshing beans.

In addition to these tasks, schools in forest farms also engage in spring reforestation.

Due to the tight schedule and heavy workload, there were not enough forest farm workers, so only students could participate.

Participating in labor in moderation is beneficial for students, but reforestation in these deep mountains and forests is really not suitable for students; it's too dangerous.

"Sigh, I understand what you're saying, but we don't have enough manpower at our forest farm."

"We only have about half a month to reforest; if we're late, the buds of our winter-stored conifer seedlings won't sprout and unfold their leaves, making them less likely to survive."

Wang Jiachuan couldn't help but sigh after hearing Sheng Xiping's words. He didn't want the students to go up the mountain to work either, but the situation didn't allow it.

Besides, we've emphasized discipline so many times before we went up the mountain. These kids just won't listen and keep running around causing trouble. What can we do?

We can't let the task of spring afforestation be delayed just for a few students.

"Alright, you've all been working hard all day, you must be tired. Go home and rest."

Wang Jiachuan glanced at his watch; it was ten o'clock. So he told everyone to go back and rest.

Sheng Xiping and the two teachers haven't eaten dinner yet, and they still haven't.

Hungry and sleepy, they had no interest in chatting, so they said goodbye to the Wang family and went home to rest.
