Chapter 28 Mountaineering accident, Tiantian praises An Huaixu: "My wife praises...
Jiang Song took the children to the open space to rest and play.
An Huaixu picked up garbage around the edge of the area.
Director Zhang stood at the bottom of a steep path and hesitated for a long time, then took a deep breath and raised his legs to climb up.
He moved slowly. After taking a few steps, he suddenly heard another pair of footsteps behind him. He turned around and found it was An Huaixu.
Principal Zhang: "Teacher An, you don't have to accompany me. I've walked this road so many times that I can get there with my eyes closed."
An Huaixu bent over and picked up the garbage on the ground: "There is no red flag. I came here to do the task."
With that being said, Director Zhang had nothing more to say. He could only wait until he was shoulder to shoulder with him before starting again.
"You can see the apple trees on Nanshan Mountain from above. Each household has invested money in this apple orchard. If the harvest is good, we will all be happy. If it is not..."
Director Zhang's unfinished words were all hidden in his sad expression.
An Huaixu said nothing and continued walking with Director Zhang.
The open space just now was like a dividing line. The terrain was flat downwards and easy to climb, while the terrain was steep upwards and entered a cliff area.
Director Zhang was exhausted and had a leg injury. He could no longer hold on and stopped while leaning against the tree, feeling dizzy.
"I'll take my time here. Teacher An, go do your task first. Don't let me lose sight of you..."
As he was speaking, his legs suddenly went weak, his feet slipped, and he fell towards the cliff.
An Huaixu threw down the garbage bag and pulled him back by the arm.
Director Zhang was of considerable build, and he pressed heavily on An Huaixu, causing him to take several steps back due to inertia and the terrain, and accidentally bump into an angular rock.
"Well!"
It was at this time that Jiang Song heard the voice and came over.
He stood at the bottom of the path and looked nervously: "What's wrong, are you okay?!"
He waited patiently for a few seconds before An Huaixu responded, "It's okay."
Jiang Song felt relieved when he heard his normal voice: "Okay, it's about time. I'll take the kids to pick up some trash around here, and we'll go back soon."
"Um."
After An Huaixu finished answering, he helped Director Zhang, who looked painful, to sit on the steps.
Director Zhang frowned and said with all his strength, "Thank you, Teacher An. Is your back okay?"
An Huaixu felt the pain spread almost all over half of his body. He took a deep breath and shook his head.
Director Zhang felt guilty: "Oh, I really am...what tree am I looking at? Let me take a break, then we can go down quickly."
After saying this, he raised his head and looked upwards, the nostalgia in his eyes almost drowning.
"Looking back on my past life, when I was a child, every time I got beaten, I would run uphill. My father couldn't find me, so I could escape. When I grew up, I opened a kindergarten with my father and planted trees with the village chief. So... Nanshan has my smiles and my sad tears. I thought I was tied to Nanshan in this life, but I didn't expect that now I can't even climb the mountain."
Director Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "This should be my last time going up the mountain. One must accept one's fate."
Unexpectedly, An Huaixu asked him: "Why do you want to accept your fate?"
After saying this, he leaned over without saying anything, carried Director Zhang on his back, and walked up the stairs.
Director Zhang was startled and hurriedly asked him to put him down: "You, you don't have to do this."
An Huaixu: "Do the mission along the way."
When Director Zhang heard this, he suddenly laughed and said, "Xiao Shi was right. You look as hard as a rock, but you are actually kind and soft-hearted."
When An Huaixu heard this, his heart skipped a beat strangely, and his mood also improved.
"He also said that you..." Director Zhang paused deliberately, smiling and waiting for An Huaixu to speak first.
An Huaixu fell into his trap unconsciously: "What did you say?"
Principal Zhang recalled a time when the two of them and Director Lin reviewed the class teacher's work records together.
Director Lin glanced through it briefly, picked up An Huaixu's notebook, and unfolded it angrily: "Look at him, he is so perfunctory!"
Shi Yun glanced over and chuckled, saying without any surprise, "If he wants to write something else, then the sun will rise from the west."
Director Zhang took a look and found that An Huai's preface was not as eloquent as others, with both praise and criticism, but instead he coldly wrote the word "nothing".
Although Director Lin was familiar with An Huaixu, he was impartial in his work and said sadly, "I always feel that Huaixu is still a little lacking in educating children."
Shi Yun supported his chin and said without hesitation: "Every teacher has a different teaching method. Teacher An is just not good at expressing himself and is a little strict with the children. I don't think there is any harm in this. Besides, he must know what he is doing. Don't worry."
Director Lin thought about it and realized that this was the case.
"Maybe after a while, I'll get used to it."
Principal Zhang closed An Huai's preface and looked at Shi Yun who was grinning. He asked curiously, "Hey, Xiao Xiao, since the first class of the last small class, I found that you seemed to know Teacher An very well."
Shi Yun held his chin in his hand and asked them in surprise, "Don't you think Teacher An is easy to understand?"
Director Lin choked on his tea, coughed, and looked at Director Zhang.
Director Zhang: "That's just what you think."
Director Lin: "Huai Xu is a child I have watched grow up. I am now familiar with his style of doing things. If it weren't for this..."
He shook his head, his face unfathomable: "This kid is very thoughtful and hard to understand!"
Shi Yun became interested and shared with them the fact that An Huaixu's mouth could express his emotions.
"Actually, Mr. An is quite nice. He looks cool but is actually warm-hearted. His kindness to the children is hidden in his actions. He is multi-talented. He plays the piano beautifully and cooks delicious food. He is handsome, has a good figure, and..."
Director Zhang imitated Shi Yun's admiring emphasis and said jokingly, "Teacher An, Xiao Shi has really become your little fanboy now."
An Huaixu raised the corners of his lips and looked ahead with a smile: "We're here."
He climbed the last step and the view in front of him suddenly opened up - green trees on both sides and the cliff scenery was vast and endless.
Without Director Zhang's explanation, An Huaixu immediately recognized where Nanshan was.
Nanshan apple trees occupy halfway up the mountain, with eye-catching red fruits amidst the green. A few villagers shuttle through the small paths in between, with happy smiles on their faces.
Director Zhang slowly came down from behind An Huaixu, stood at the edge and looked out, feeling an indescribable mixture of joy and sadness in his heart.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Song saw Director Zhang behind An Huaixu and immediately understood what was going on: "Let me do it."
An Huaixu immediately handed the garbage bag in his hand to Jiang Song and walked down the mountain.
Jiang Song looked at the garbage bag in his hand and smiled helplessly. After making sure that all the children had gone down, he followed.
The children surrounded Principal Zhang:
"Director, what's wrong with you?"
"I know, the director is tired!"
"Headmaster, these are the fruits I just picked. Eat them!"
Director Zhang took it and patted Lucky's head: "The director will show you how strong Teacher An is. It's okay, don't worry!"
Lucky nodded and went to run and play.
At the same time, on Shi Yun's side.
Shi Yun was also leading the group down the mountain.
He and Qiao Yu walked in front of the team, and Qiao Li surrounded them, jumping around a little impatiently.
Qiao Li frowned and took Qiao Yu's hand: "Let's walk faster."
Qiao Yu pulled him over and comforted him, "Don't worry, look at the scenery here, it's so..."
Qiao Li exclaimed, interrupting him: "If we don't leave now, we won't be number one anymore!"
After saying that, he ran forward first.
Qiao Yu was already used to him like this, so he sighed, put his hand down and ignored him.
Shi Yun: "Why didn't Teacher Qiao chase after him?"
Qiao Yu was approached by Shi Yun and smiled embarrassedly: "This child has been too competitive since he was young. He didn't get first place in the carrot picking competition yesterday, and his team ranked last. He can't accept it. It's useless for me to go over there. Let him experience it and he will understand."
Shi Yun heard two things. Qiao Yu didn't quite understand Qiao Li's mentality.
"Children are in the growth stage, and it is normal for them to be competitive. Teacher Qiao, as his parent and teacher, you should respect and understand him and help him develop a correct mentality."
Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking about Shi Yun's words.
Shi Yun smiled and pushed his shoulder: "Go quickly. Besides, today we are not ranking by speed, but -"
He hooked the garbage bag in Qiao Yu's hand.
Qiao Yu understood what Shi Yun meant, thanked him, and quickly chased after him: "Qiao Li, wait for Dad!"
Qi Guang walked up to Shi Yun and said, "My student was very good at school, but he was a little dull. I thought he would be better after entering society, getting married and having children, but I didn't expect... I don't know whether I should praise him for being consistent or scold him for being so dull."
After a few minutes, Qiao Yu coaxed him a few words and Qiao Li slowly calmed down.
Qiao Yu carried him on his back and went to a thicker tree branch not far away to pick some wild fruits to eat.
"Dad, I can't reach it!"
"Then I'll move again—"
Qiao Yu accidentally tripped over a tree branch, staggered a few steps, and fell into the grass with his butt sticking up.
Fortunately, Jory reacted quickly and grabbed the thick branch above his head, otherwise he would have had to eat the grass as well.
Qiao Li panicked: "Dad, Dad!"
Shi Yun and Qi Guang immediately retracted their bared teeth and ran over to save the man.
At 16:30, all the teams arrived one after another.
Because An Huaixu was carrying Director Zhang on his back, the team moved a little slower as a whole.
Shi Yun was chatting with Pin Chi. When he saw Director Zhang, he was startled and ran over and asked softly, "What's going on?"
Beside him, An Huaixu stared at Shi Yun in silence.
Director Zhang patted Shi Yun on the shoulder and said to everyone, "Everyone, put the garbage you picked up in a bag and put it here with me."
Director Zhang quickly finished the weighing and announced the rankings: "No matter how much garbage there is, it means a lot to us. Congratulations to the three teams for being tied for first place this time."
Qiao Yu touched Qiao Li's head and said, "Sometimes happiness is the most important thing. It's not necessary to distinguish one from two."
Qiao Li nodded heavily and looked at Qiao Yu with clear eyes: "Dad, I still want to eat that little fruit."
Qiao Yu: "Okay, I'll take you there next time."
Village Chief: "All of you are the best in this mission. I have a gift for you."
After the village chief finished speaking, he turned around and walked over pushing his cart.
There was nothing else on the car but an apple seedling.
"Before that, I have a question - what did you learn in this class?"
Qiao Li was the first to raise his hand: "Don't litter."
Qi Miao followed closely: "Take care of the flowers, plants and trees."
Wei Tian Si: “It’s very hard.”
Guaiguai: "The fruit on the tree, hehe, is delicious."
Pinchi covered the strange mouth and said, "Sorry, the idiot in the house ran out."
Lucky: "I am a wanted child."
An Shuqi: "Well... everyone is alive."
An Huaixu corrected him: "That's called life. We must cherish life."
The village chief listened to the various answers, smiled and picked up the sapling: "It seems that everyone is deeply touched. No matter what, being able to speak out means that you have grown up. This apple sapling is a reward from nature to you. I hope you will always remember this day in the future."
Weiziyu was closest to the village chief, so he raised his hand and took it.
"Thank you, village chief."
The children happily shouted: "Thank you, village chief!"
Village chief: "What are you waiting for? Plant it now!"
Everyone waved goodbye to the village chief and got on the tricycle impatiently.
The village chief stood at the foot of the mountain with his hands behind his back, watching them go away. He looked quite relieved: "This is... hope."
Back to kindergarten.
The children planted the saplings in a sunny place and watered them happily.
An Shuqi's cheeks were stained with dirt. He raised his hands and patted the ground on both sides of him: "Grow up quickly~"
Jiang Nianyu: "Be good~"
Guaiguai raised his head from a dirt pit and asked in confusion, "Who called me?"
Shi Yun smiled and stood up from the children. As he walked towards the lounge, he murmured, "I feel like I forgot something..."
After a few seconds, he froze in place, hurriedly picked up his phone, and sure enough, he saw a barrage of wailing.
[Help me, I feel like a crazy concubine in the cold palace. ]
"I'm so sorry, I forgot."
[It turns out that there is a reason why Teacher Shi was frightened by the camera so many times...]
[At this moment, a dying sister An Shi cried out: Hungry, hungry, food. ]
The data team leader gestured to Shi Yun.
Shi Yun nodded, and just when he saw this sentence, he mistakenly thought that the person's surname was An, and politely replied: "Sister An Shi, you can go eat if you are hungry. I am also going to close the live broadcast room."
After Shi Yun finished speaking, he closed the live broadcast room under the guidance of the data team leader, and the mobile phone screen suddenly went black.
Shi Yun hurried into the house: "Team Leader Xiao, how is Director Zhang?"
The data team leader shook his head and said, "You go in first. Director Lin wants to see you."
As soon as Shi Yun entered, everyone in the room instantly looked at him.
He was stunned, thinking that he had disturbed their conversation. He smiled apologetically, lowered his head and was about to leave again.
Director Lin called him, "Xiao Shi, come and sit down."
Shi Yun sat next to Director Lin.
Director Lin frowned, obviously looking a little worried.
"It's like this. Director Zhang is unable to complete strenuous exercise tasks due to leg problems. You need to take over some of the director's work and become the main force."
