A simple "It's so delicious!" dispelled bad memories and made me more positive than anyone else.
The children all carried small baskets, but she carried a large one.
Xiao Shi and Chou Chou don't have small baskets, so they share a large basket.
All five classes worked together; the principal and teachers were all mobilized to keep an eye on the children.
"Everyone line up. The older students will go first, and each class will follow the next. Don't get separated."
"Don't go too far after you go up the mountain. You must stay within the teacher's sight, understand?"
Before they set off, the principal gave them careful instructions.
"Okay."
The lush bamboo forest is filled with the fragrance of bamboo.
The area was divided up for each class, and each teacher was responsible for watching over their own class. The principal and Lou Xiaomin, who was not in charge of a class, were responsible for patrolling with small sticks.
After all, it's in the mountains, so snakes, insects, and rodents are unavoidable.
There won't be any big creatures halfway up the mountain, but I'm afraid of snakes and poisonous insects.
The two men waved sticks on the ground to scare away any poison that might be hiding there.
Now that they were up the mountain, Xie Lin didn't miss the opportunity to search for seasonings, as they were needed for both roast duck and braised dishes.
He opened up the space, covering the forest to ensure no prey came to harm the children.
Search up the mountain, dig up any spices you recognize and plant them in your space.
His coverage area is now much larger; he can even see parts of the sea from halfway up the mountain.
Huh? Isn't that a military ship? They seem to be looking for something.
He couldn't worry about that now, and he was too busy to leave, so he just collected some fish and didn't pay any more attention to it.
With nothing else to do, the two snakes turned over the ground, and now there is a large area of arable land available.
Suddenly, some plants entered, and they had a familiar mountain scent. The two snakes knew they had come up the mountain.
More and more things were being thrown in, including small bamboo shoots.
Xie Lin wanted to plant a bamboo forest by the pond in his space, where water, forest, and mountains would blend together; the scenery was beautiful just to think about.
Behind everyone's back, he instructed his eldest and second eldest brothers to guard the pond and prevent the ducks from coming ashore and damaging the bamboo shoots.
The eldest and second eldest obediently stayed by the pond, their dead eyes fixed on the thrashing wild ducks.
The ducks were very timid; they didn't even dare to touch the bamboo, let alone come ashore, for fear of ending up in the belly of a giant snake.
"Ugly, what is this?"
Shishi dug out a piece of dried bean curd from the thick layer of fallen leaves. It was covered with tiny white dots. She remembered the beautiful mushrooms that her eldest and second eldest brothers had found in Haishi.
Ugly knew the nature of the mushroom as soon as he touched it, so he covered it with some leaves.
"This is bamboo fungus. It's not fully grown yet, but it'll taste delicious when it's fully grown. Look around and see if you can find any more. I'll go ask my brother to secretly collect some."
Rotten wood grows mushrooms and wood ear fungus, and dried bean curd sticks grow bamboo fungus.
"Okay, sure."
All Chou Chou had to do was tell Xie Lin, and Xie Lin didn't even need to get close before quietly taking a few pieces of dried bean curd.
Shishi was delighted to have earned money from her food.
Under her gaze, no bamboo shoot could hide.
She found a big one, squatted down, and started digging.
Ugly followed her steps; wherever she pointed, he dug.
The little master also possesses supernatural abilities; he knows which bamboo shoots are the biggest and tenderest without Shishi even having to tell him.
All three of them were strong, and they quickly filled the two large baskets.
As queen, she believed it was her duty to help her younger brother.
Under her guidance, the youngest class filled their baskets the fastest.
The main reason was that she always found the right target, which made her underlings admire her immensely and further solidified her queenly status.
The second graders were right next to the first graders. Little Fatty, with candy in his mouth given to him by the Queen, stuck out his little bottom and dug for ages before finally finding two or three candies. Meanwhile, the first graders had a huge harvest.
He was envious. Why wasn't he a first-year student?
"Queen, I'm your little brother too, teach me how to dig!"
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, we are all your little brothers."
No one would complain about having too much food to fill their stomach.
"Okay, I'll teach you how to dig. Look, this one is big, you can dig it; this one is small, don't dig it..."
Lou Xiaomin arrived at the second grade and stopped in front of Dong Limin.
"Teacher Dong, it seems like your students prefer Teacher Han. Aren't you worried that your students will also want her to teach them?"
At this moment, Han Shuyun was sorting the dug-up bamboo shoots by size and then packaging them for the students.
Those dug out together should be distributed fairly.
Then the second full basket was for the second graders, and the extras were put into the principal's basket.
As for Lou Xiaomin, ha, it's none of her business.
Since her hearing improved, her hearing has become noticeably more sensitive than others, and she was able to hear everything Lou Xiaomin said.
It was originally agreed that each class would give some to the principal and Lou Xiaomin, but now, forget about it.
Dong Limin gave a forced smile. "She has to teach first grade all day. How would she have time to teach our class? Teacher Lou, there are some things you shouldn't say carelessly."
"That's hard to say. It's not like we haven't tried having one teacher manage two classes before."
I heard from older teachers that when there weren't enough teachers, one teacher would be in charge of two classes. Later, when more educated youth went to the countryside, there were more teachers available.
Dong Limin glanced at her, his voice cool, "The principal is watching you."
At first, I thought Teacher Lou was gentle and generous, but why is she acting so strangely today?
What business is it of hers if Teacher Han took over her class?
Don't even think about trying to sow discord between him and the first-year students.
He heard that pretty girl call Teacher Han "Auntie".
A person with powerful connections is someone he, an abandoned son of his family, cannot contend with.
He is arrogant and ambitious, dreaming of instant success, but he still knows how to seek advantage and avoid harm. There are some people he should flatter and some he should stay away from.
He was certain that Lou Xiaomin was someone he should stay away from.
