Shen Qiqi came out of the logistics department with a heavy heart.
Lao Li's indifferent attitude and the tight resource situation were like a bucket of cold water that extinguished the fire of hope that had just ignited in her heart.
She rubbed her temples and took a deep breath. Things were much more complicated than she had imagined.
Back in the preparation room, Lu Qing was carefully studying the lesson plan she had written earlier, her brows furrowed, and she would circle and draw on it with a pen from time to time.
Seeing Shen Qiqi coming back, he quickly put down the lesson plan in his hand and asked with concern: "How is it? Have you applied for the resources?"
Shen Qiqi smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Don't mention it. Old Li is such a stingy person. He wouldn't even give a penny. He only gave us a few pieces of paper and pens, which is good enough for one class, let alone promoting it throughout the whole school." She scratched her hair irritably. A tense atmosphere filled the preparation room.
Seeing this, Lu Qing patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Don't worry, take your time, there will always be a way."
At this time, Principal Sun also walked in with a helpless look on his face.
"Qiqi, the school's funding is indeed limited. As you know, our village is not rich, and the school's funding is pitifully small..." Before Principal Sun finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Qiqi, "Principal, I know the school's difficulties, but the children cannot be without books to read and pens to write! If my plan cannot be fully implemented, then all the efforts I made before will be in vain?" There was a hint of anxiety and unwillingness in her tone.
Principal Sun sighed, crossed his hands on the table, and was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Qiqi, your plan is good, and I support it, but even a good cook cannot cook without rice! Without resources, everything is empty talk." Shen Qiqi argued, "Principal, we can think of other ways, such as..." Before she finished her words, a deep voice suddenly came from the door, "I think this thing is simply not feasible!"
That voice was like a basin of ice water, instantly extinguishing the fire of hope that had just ignited in the preparation room.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the wrinkled old face of Mr. Wang appear at the door. He looked like a villain jumping out of a game, with his own background music and a menacing look.
He put his hands on his hips, looking like he was going to cause trouble today.
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath, suppressing her displeasure. She turned to look at Principal Sun with a firm gaze, "Principal, we can actually change our thinking. If we don't have enough resources, we can create them ourselves!" Her eyes rolled, and the waste materials she had seen in the village before appeared in her mind. "Aren't there a lot of discarded wood and bamboo in the village? We can transform them into teaching aids, like abacus and models. It's both economical and environmentally friendly, killing two birds with one stone!"
Principal Sun was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Shen Qiqi to come up with such an idea.
He thought about it carefully and his eyes lit up. This method was absolutely amazing!
This operation not only solves the resource problem but also recycles waste. It is really amazing!
Teacher Liu and several other teachers also began to discuss in low voices, with thoughtful looks on their faces, and the just depressing atmosphere seemed to ease a little.
However, Mr. Wang didn't buy it.
When he heard what Shen Qiqi was going to do with "waste transformation", he immediately got furious and raised his voice by eight degrees, "What? Using junk to teach children? Do you want to train all the children to be garbage pickers? No! I strongly disagree!" His loud voice seemed to be able to overturn the roof.
"Uncle Wang, don't get excited." Shen Qiqi stepped forward patiently and tried to explain, "These waste products can be transformed into very good teaching aids. They can not only help children learn, but also cultivate their hands-on ability. This is definitely not a bad thing!" She tried to make Mr. Wang understand, but the other party simply didn't listen.
"I won't listen! I won't listen! Anyway, I don't agree!" Parent Wang was like a tape recorder, repeating the same few sentences over and over again in rebuttal.
His old face turned red and the veins on his forehead were about to burst, like an angry pufferfish.
Shen Qiqi looked at Mr. Wang's stubborn expression, and the anxiety in her heart grew wildly like weeds.
She knew that this was not just a question of resources, but also a clash of concepts and a contest between new and old ideas.
She felt like a small boat swaying in a storm, which could be swallowed by the huge waves at any time.
She looked at the people around her again. Some were watching, some were worried, and some were distrustful. All kinds of complicated emotions intertwined together, making her feel powerless.
She felt like a soldier in a game. She had already reached the boss level, but was still troubled by the problem in front of her.
At this moment, a deep and familiar voice sounded, with unquestionable determination, "Dad, I think what Qiqi said makes sense."
Lu Qing stood up.
Lu Qing stood beside Shen Qiqi, like a towering mountain, instantly giving her a full sense of security.
There was a determined light flashing in his deep eyes, and his tone was steady and powerful: "Dad, I think what Qiqi said makes sense. We can't always hold on to the old ideas. Times are progressing, and the way of education should also progress with it. Think about it, if the children can learn new knowledge, their future life will definitely be much better than ours now." Lu Qing's remarks were simply a textbook-level "wife-protecting maniac" live show, which directly left Mr. Wang speechless.
Shen Qiqi glanced at Lu Qing secretly, and her heart felt warm and sweet as if she had eaten honey.
Shen Qiqi struck while the iron was hot, her eyes rolled and a plan came to mind.
"Uncle Wang, if you don't believe me, I can ask a few parents of children who have already started learning to come over and ask them to tell you about the changes in their children." She ran out quickly and came back with a few parents in a short while.
