I will never give in to Miss Death

Combining the ideas gained from "sweeping the charts" in the past few days, as well as the file materials sent by the editor before... Nuoer, you can do it.

"..."

The time spent typing is boring but also fulfilling.

When I was living in a small apartment, I experienced writing under all kinds of terrible conditions.

How about being so hungry that you see stars but forcing yourself to finish your homework with a fuzzy mind? How about hugging the quilt and shivering while thinking about the plot because it is too cold but you don't want to turn on the air conditioner? How about being alone in front of the computer on a hot day, drinking water while sweating and typing on the keyboard?

Compared with the environment at that time, I can say that I am very privileged to be able to sit in this small house and enjoy the comfortable environment now.

It was half past eleven, and I thought the class at Xingguang Primary School would be over soon, so I put away the manuscript I had written and stood up.

"Xiaomo, you need to eat at noon..."

As I walked out of the room, I shouted towards Yin Xiamo's room opposite as usual, and then I realized in an instant that this Miss Death seemed to be away all day.

Oh, yes.

Realizing this, I scratched my head outside the door feeling a little embarrassed.

It's a bit strange to suddenly not have this chatterbox around me, licking and clinging to me or yelling "I want to eat Nuoer" every day.

She doesn't want me to go with her. What could it be that she wants to solve on her own?

No more guessing, it’s so mysterious.

After going out, I took the elevator downstairs and trotted towards Xingguang Primary School.

Well, everyone has their own privacy. It is understandable that Yin Xiamo wants to keep one day of the two-day holiday to take care of her personal matters.

As long as she comes home on time tonight.

No, even if she doesn’t come back on time, so what? I… I’m happy to have some free time and I don’t have to be a pillow at night.

Thinking about all sorts of things, I pressed the dial button according to the cell phone number of "He Yuanyi", the principal of Xingguang Primary School, which I had saved before.

"Hello?"

After the call was connected, I stated my purpose directly: "Principal He, did you contact the number I sent you yesterday?"

"I have contacted them. Thank you very much. The city has paid attention to the student recruitment problem here. The deputy mayor personally found me and we talked for the whole morning. We have almost reached an agreement."

Principal He seemed very grateful: "I was originally planning to let you...let you pass the publicity..."

"I'll be at school in about five minutes."

I interrupted him and said, "Now that the matter has been resolved, the card you gave me is no longer needed. I will give it to you now."

"Oh, no, no, the card has already been processed, you can keep it..."

The principal hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, forget it. Let's talk about it when we get there. Have you had lunch? How about coming to our school cafeteria to eat? I'll treat you as a thank you for your help."

"OK then."

I thought it wouldn't be a big deal to just have lunch, so I walked to the entrance of Xingguang Primary School and took out the special card and swiped it on the card machine.

"Teacher card, pass allowed."

The security guard seemed to recognize me. He just glanced at me and continued playing with his phone.

"Principal He, where are you?"

"On the third floor of the teaching building, there is the classroom for Grade 6, Class 3."

“You still teach?”

"I'm also their math teacher... Let's do this for now. We're also short of teachers right now. We still have ten minutes until the get out of class ends. You can wait downstairs in the teaching building. I'll go downstairs when the bell rings."

"it is good."

"..."

Because I have been here many times, I easily found the teaching building of Xingguang Primary School.

It can be seen that at this time, the classroom with the sign “Grade 1 (2)” on the first floor of the school was occupied by less than half of the students, while the “Grade 3 ()” and “Grade ()” classrooms next to it were empty, with no one in them.

Maybe it’s because there is enough light during the day, the campus, which used to feel lively at night, now seems a lot emptier.

"Dingling Bell Bell ..."

I waited for a while next to the teaching building as the principal instructed, and then the bell for the end of get out of class rang.

"Hurry, hurry, it's time for dinner in the cafeteria!"

"Let's play a game of King of Glory first?"

"Come on, you hit me with Li Bai every day, that's too bad, I want to eat!"

As I remembered, the teacher's "staying class" did not come. The moment the bell rang, I saw that not only the teachers in the first grade, but also the teachers in almost all the classrooms of grades 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 stood up at the first moment and announced the end of get out of class.

Then a large group of students ran out of the U-shaped teaching building in a grand manner.

"Sister Nuoer?!"

What surprised me was that Li Denghua and Zhou Xiaofei in the crowd actually recognized me as I was playing with my phone next to the sports equipment at the bottom of the teaching building. They were wearing elementary school uniforms and ran over to me hand in hand with small steps: "Why are you here?"

"What are you..."

I looked at Li Denghua and Zhou Xiaofei's hands, which were naturally held together. "It's only been three days since you two started dating. Are you already so close?"

"what……"

At this moment, Li Denghua seemed to realize that she and Zhou Xiaofei were indeed a little too close, and she quickly let go of her hand, blushing: "Nothing... nothing."

On the other hand, Zhou Xiaofei, the little girl, didn't seem to mind at all. She took the initiative to reach out and grab Li Denghua's hand, holding it in her palm: "Sister Nuoer, are you coming to school today too?"

"No, I'm waiting for your principal... Here I come."

As I was talking, I saw a person named He in front of me also walked out of the teaching building along with a large group of students.

"I'm sorry, it's harder to go downstairs in sixth grade."

The principal here today wore a very ordinary plaid shirt, which made him look more like an ordinary teacher rather than a leader.

"My two students are here too? That's perfect."

Seeing me, the principal didn't care about the lesson plan he was holding, and ran over here quickly: "Three of you, shall we go eat first?"

"Today is the principal's treat, order whatever you want!"

"..."

No. 166 Biting Cat

The teacher-student relationship and school layout at Xingguang Primary School made me feel like I was "dreaming back to 2000".

When I was in elementary school 20 years ago, the conditions were very poor. In addition, the Glory District was not an independent district but belonged to the "suburbs" of Kamihama City. The elementary school closest to the medicinal plant garden had very backward conditions. There were only a few single and double poles as sports equipment. There was a wasteland in front of the teaching building. In the center of the wasteland was the flag-raising platform, and behind it were the student dormitories and cafeteria.

In addition, classroom resources in our school were very scarce at that time. There were only three teachers in our entire class. The head teacher taught Chinese and also taught ideology and morality, the mathematics teacher taught nature and science, and the physical education teacher was also responsible for life and other minor subjects and was even our dormitory manager.

It was like this in my elementary school twelve years ago, and it is also like this in Xingguang Elementary School twenty years later.

The principal of a school is also a part-time math teacher and is so close to the students. If this happened in schools in the city center... I wouldn't even dare to imagine it.

"Recently, the outflow of population from Minami-nagi District has become increasingly serious. Everyone is trying to squeeze into big cities, including students and teachers."

When I, Li Denghua, Zhou Xiaofei and I walked to the cafeteria behind the teaching building, the principal in front of us sighed softly: "In the past few months, two of the cafeteria's food aunties have resigned. Now the chefs cook and then personally serve the food at the front desk, so the portions are quite large. You can come over here and have a look. The food is good and cheap!"

Perhaps still a little concerned about the things he mentioned to me before, the principal still did not forget to introduce the school: "Except for the small number of people and backward teaching conditions, this place is actually quite good. The previous principal used the funds allocated from above to improve teaching, installed multimedia classrooms, and replaced the beds and water dispensers for the boarding students."

"Hello principal!"

"Is Principal He coming to eat too?"

On the way to the cafeteria, students kept recognizing the new "Principal He" and greeting him.

It seems that he is quite popular in school.

"Didn't you say that there was someone in the city this morning... Deputy Mayor? Have you talked to him?"

Walking beside Li Denghua and Zhou Xiaofei, I thought, "I don't think I need to do any publicity, right?"

Personally, I feel that this principal is the type who makes mistakes in a hurry.

He wanted to use my recent popularity in Minami-Nagi district to boost the school's enrollment rate, which sounded a bit far-fetched and seemed a bit unreasonable to me.

But if I put myself in his shoes, I can understand it.

Not to mention Minaminagi Ward and Kamihama City, even if we look at the whole country or even the whole world, this era is in a "low desire" period. Many people have no desire to have children, and the population is aging. The suburbs of Kamihama City are already in a low fertility area, and families born here are still trying to send their children to the city. As a result, the surrounding schools will definitely face a situation where no one is enrolled.

It is only a matter of time before the school can no longer sustain itself.

The principal has just been assigned here. Let alone the three things a new official has to do after taking office, this place is so desolate and wild that even a fire cannot be started. It would be strange if he is not in a hurry.

"The higher-ups will try to find a way to solve the problem here, and will also invite some TV stations to help promote it."

After hearing my question, the principal smiled and said, "I'm really sorry. I was too impatient last night."

"Nothing, I'm usually very busy here, and I probably don't have time to come here for promotion or anything, and I don't plan to develop in this area."

I took out the campus card from the back pocket of my skirt: "Here, this."

"You don't need this. Keep it. We have already made it."

The principal waved his hands repeatedly: "Just think of it as a gift for helping us. Aren't you good friends with them? You can come in and play with us when you are free in the future."

Hmm...it seems like this isn't bad.

I'm not quite sure why the deputy mayor of Shenbin City came to find him the next day after I gave Su Yunjin's cell phone number to the principal, but I can vaguely feel that Su Yunjin must have done a lot of work in this.

Generally speaking, identities such as "rich second generation" and "young master" are not simple. It is normal that Su Yunjin has connections that ordinary people like us don't have.

The biggest problem here is... generally speaking, if a school can't recruit students or something like that, the government will definitely need to step in to solve the problem.

In other words, the person Principal He Yuanyi needs to find is not me, but the mayor of Nannai District, or some higher-level leaders.

But he didn't go directly to find these people, or if he did... it would be useless.

So, is it ultimately a problem of Minami-nagi District itself?

The authorities are planning to build a commercial street in the Minami Nagi district and a "maritime district" connected to the Minami Nagi district in order to boost the economy here. I guess they are also trying to solve the problems here.

I don’t know. As an ordinary person, there is no reason for me to worry about such a big thing.

"OK then."

Putting my school card back into my skirt pocket, I nodded, "Thank you."

If I have to say, I do have a little need to "go in and out of Xingguang Primary School", but it's just a little bit.

"We're here. Go find a seat and sit down. I'll help you get the food."

We walked down the small slope behind the teaching building until we came to a relatively open area. The principal pointed to a large building in front and said, "Anything you particularly like? Or should I help you order?"

I shook my head: "It's okay with me. I'm not picky about food. Just order whatever you want."

Li Denghua looked a little arrogant: "I don't eat coriander, celery or eggplant!"

"I...I can do anything."

Zhou Xiaofei looked soft and cute: "Principal, please order whatever you want."

"Okay, then you guys go sit over there first."

The principal pointed to a few spots under the TV in the cafeteria and said, "I'll be there in a minute."

"it is good."

Li Denghua walked over first, and Zhou Xiaofei, holding her hand, hurriedly followed.

"Today, the deputy mayor of Kamihama City led a delegation to visit the urban village in Minaminagi District, Kamihama City, and shook hands cordially with the local village party secretary..."

"The delegation visited the local grape plantations and gave important instructions on the development of the plantations and the livelihood security of nearby farmers..."

It can be seen that the tables and chairs in the cafeteria and the large TV above are all newly bought. There is a smell of new machines in the air, and the sound of the TV is particularly clear.

"Please read the following brief message."

"The Kamihama cruiser, known as the 'Kamihama Historical Museum', has undergone another large-scale renovation and maintenance. According to the data, the Kamihama cruiser had two 150mm naval guns and four 100mm naval guns at the time. Such a configuration seemed too small even in that era. However, it was such a cruiser that protected our motherland during the war. In order to protect this hero from the sun and rain, the Minaminagi District Government decided to move it to a sea area 513 meters away in the next three months and provide sufficient technical protection..."
