"Damn it Liu Yi, did you hide the leaf stem in your shoes?"
Du Chen yelled at Liu Yi, then began to retch again.
"Du Chen, how did you know?"
Liu Yi was still asking Du Chen in a naive manner.
"How should I know? Just ask yourself how smelly your hands are, ugh..."
Before he could finish his words, Du Chen started retching again. Then, he ran to the bathroom to wash his hands. He had made Liu Yi nauseous.
Liu Yi watched Du Chen running away, and also trotted after Du Chen.
"Du Chen, what's wrong with you? Why are you running?"
"Liu Yi, stay away. I'm making you sick. My hands are all smelling like your feet. Ugh..."
Du Chen couldn't bring up this matter right now; it made him feel sick. He washed his hands over and over again under the faucet. They were clearly clean, but he still felt a slight odor.
"Are you okay? Du Chen?"
Liu Yi asked Du Chen cautiously.
"It's okay, but keep your hands away from me today. I won't play root fighting with you anymore, and you won't find it disgusting!"
"Hey, what's so disgusting about my own shoes?"
Liu Yi chuckled.
"Okay, whatever you want."
Du Chen was helpless. Who made him so mature mentally? Maybe he had done the same thing in his past life? But Du Chen would definitely not admit that he had done it.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
When they heard the preparatory bell, Du Chen and Liu Yi hurried to the classroom. This class was taught by their homeroom teacher, Old Wu, and Du Chen didn't want to be late.
"stand up!"
“Hello, teacher!”
"Hello, students! Please take a seat!"
After the head teacher, Mr. Wu, asked the students to sit down, he did not rush to lecture, but talked about other things.
"Classmates, I have good news for you today. Du Chen from our class has been named a city-level "Three Good Students." Come on, let's applaud Du Chen!"
“Pah pah pah…”
The classmates glanced at Du Chen with curious, envious and jealous eyes, which made Du Chen feel a little uncomfortable, but he was also very happy in his heart.
"Also, Du Chen's first book has been published! If you're interested, you can ask your parents to buy it and support Du Chen!"
"Wow……"
Teacher Wu's next words made the whole class explode. No one cared about the head teacher, Mr. Wu, who was standing on the podium, and they all started whispering to each other.
Du Chen didn't expect that Old Wu would be so helpful. Although the books she sold had nothing to do with him, it still made her very happy.
The class discussed for a long time before the voices gradually subsided.
"Classmates, be quiet! I'm telling you all this today because I hope you can all learn from Du Chen. Also, next Monday when the flag is raised, the school will hold a commendation ceremony for Du Chen. Du Chen, you'll have to give a speech on the podium. Is that okay?"
"Teacher Wu, I can do it!"
Du Chen immediately stood up and answered Old Wu. Du Chen couldn't refuse this kind of thing even if he wanted to!
"Well, classmates, let's start today's class!"
Everything that needed to be said had been said, and Old Wu began to prepare for the lecture.
Du Chen was thinking about how to dress up on Monday. After all, he had promised to do his best, and it would make his parents happy, so he was willing to give it a try.
…
"Raise the national flag! Play the national anthem!"
On Monday morning, all the teachers and students stood quietly in the playground, with only the voice of the principal coming from the loudspeaker in the campus.
Du Chen also saluted with the Young Pioneers' salute, sang the national anthem, and watched the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind.
"Next, I would like to commend Du Chen from Class 1, Grade 3!"
"Du Chen respects teachers and unites with classmates in his daily life..."
After the flag-raising ceremony, the Dean of Studies immediately began the next activity, which was to commend Du Chen. This was the first time in Du Chen's two lifetimes that he had experienced such glory.
Du Chen now feels his hands shaking a little, probably due to excitement and nervousness.
"This time, Du Chen was awarded the honor of the city's "Three Good Students" award, which is inseparable from his own hard work. Also, on behalf of the school, I would like to congratulate Du Chen and congratulate the successful publication of his first book! Let's applaud Du Chen!"
The principal's speech finally came to an end, and the revelations he made at the end made all the teachers and students in the school feel uneasy.
"Now, let Du Chen come up and share with everyone how he studies hard!"
"Du Chen, it's your turn! Hurry up and get on!"
Teacher Wu, who had been standing next to Du Chen, reminded Du Chen.
Du Chen, who was a little nervous and excited just now, calmed down at this time. With steady steps, Du Chen walked to the podium in front of the playground.
Du Chen took the microphone from the dean, whispered "thank you", and then spoke confidently and calmly.
"Hello, teachers and classmates. I am Du Chen from Class 1, Grade 3."
"First of all, I want to thank the school for its training and the teachers for their dedication. It is because of this that I have the opportunity to receive the honorary title of the city's "Three Good Students"."
"Secondly, I would like to thank my parents and family for their support and encouragement, which allowed me to bravely write my first article and submit it for publication, which led to the publication of this book!"
Du Chen became more and more fluent as he spoke, and even a little bit Versailles.
Du Chen was speaking on the podium, and several teachers gathered in front of Teacher Wu.
"Teacher Wu, is what the director just said true? Did Du Chen on the rostrum really publish a book?"
"Well, Du Chen also gave me a copy."
Teacher Wu was so happy, but she had to pretend to be calm and spoke to the teachers in front of her.
"Oh, Teacher Wu, you've done a great job this time! You have to give me a bigger bonus this month!"
One of the teachers said enviously.
"I think it's not just the bonus, I think Teacher Wu will also have a good shot at the Outstanding Teacher Award!"
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, let alone the profession of teacher, where the competitive mentality is much stronger than in ordinary jobs.
"Teacher Wu, next time you give a lecture, can I come over and listen to the lecture and learn from it?"
A newly arrived male teacher ignored the sour teachers and instead asked Teacher Wu for advice.
"Sure, anytime!"
Teacher Wu was very happy, as this also represented the other party’s recognition!
"Finally, I hope everyone will have the courage to face themselves, overcome difficulties, and forge ahead! Have an even brighter tomorrow!"
Du Chen finally finished his official polite remarks and felt relieved. Initially, Du Chen had considered reciting a passage from "Young China" for everyone, but since the level was a bit too high for elementary school students, Du Chen eventually gave up the idea.
"Du Chen, that's a good point! But you have to keep working hard! Don't be complacent!"
"Yes, teacher! I understand!"
