At the entrance of Lingziding Village is a small valley. One corner of the valley is a huge rock. The rocks extend out to form a suspended cliff.

Standing on the cliff, you can see a long distance.

After walking around a bend, Pang Xuelin saw a thin figure sitting on the cliff under the sunset.

The figure seemed to see Pang Xuelin at the same time and stood up from the cliff at once.

Then, the figure turned around and got off the cliff, walked around the mountain rocks, and ran towards Pang Xuelin like a rocky path.

While running, he shouted: "Teacher Pang, Teacher Pang, Teacher Pang..."

"A Qing!"

Pang Xuelin showed a bright smile on his face, and he hugged A Qing in his arms with one hand and hugged her.

"Teacher Pang, you are finally back!"

Ah Qing buried his head in Pang Xuelin's arms, and tears fell down his face.

"A Qing, what's wrong with you? Are Teacher Pang unhappy when he comes back?"

A Qing shook her head and said, "Teacher Pang, A Qing... A Qing is happy, just too happy... I can't help it... Woo woo..."

"Okay, Ah Qing, don't cry, let's go home first and see what the teacher has brought to you!"

Pang Xuelin rubbed A Qing's head and said with a smile.

"Um!"

Ah Qing sobbed twice before she left Pang Xuelin's arms.

Pang Xuelin held A Qing in one hand and carried a shoulder pole in the other, and walked towards the school.

"A Qing, are you doing well at home during this period?"

"It's great! Ah Qing can do other things except the village chief helping to fetch water for the house every day. By the way, Teacher Pang, I have cleaned up the house and just waited for you to go home for the New Year!"

“Home is cleaned?”

Pang Xuelin was stunned for a moment.

Ah Qing nodded and said, "I also used a broom to sweep all the spider webs on the roof! All the other things can be washed."

After entering the house, it was true that the house was much cleaner than the day Pang Xuelin left.

The cement-stained floor was cleaned spotlessly by A Qing.

The tables, chairs, and benches were all wiped, and they were shiny.

The stove was spotless, the firewood was neatly folded by Ah Qing, and some pine needles for catching fire were also put into bamboo baskets.

In the bedroom, the bed sheets were washed, and some of the originally scattered clothes were also stacked neatly and placed in the wardrobe.

Pang Xuelin walked around and was a little worried that Ah Qing would be alone at home and take good care of himself.

Now that she saw her clean the house neatly, she felt relieved.

However, when Pang Xuelin lifted up the bamboo cover on the dining table, his heart couldn't help but feel a little restless. A plate of leftover fried cabbage and a corn bun, there was nothing else.

Pang Xuelin thought about it and then opened the cabinet opposite the stove.

Inside, more than a dozen eggs were placed neatly.

"A Qing, come here!"

Pang Xuelin's face darkened and he turned around and said.

Ah Qing seemed to realize something and walked to Pang Xuelin with his head down.

"A Qing, do you remember what the teacher said before leaving?"

"Remember...remember!"

"Then repeat the teacher's words."

"Teacher, you...you said let Aqing eat an egg every day."

"Then how did you do it yourself?"

Pang Xuelin said with a straight face.

"I...I..."

Ah Qing stammered for a few words and cried out: "I'm afraid that the eggs will be finished. When you come back, you will not even be able to eat eggs during the New Year... Woo woo... Teacher, I really didn't mean it..."

Pang Xuelin felt that some of the softest part in his heart was touched, and he couldn't help but hug A Qing into his arms and said, "Okay, A Qing, it's the teacher who was wrong. I didn't think so much. Don't cry, let's not cry!"

"Teacher Pang, you... don't you blame me?"

Ah Qing raised her head, tears rolled in her eyes, and said pitifully.

"I blame you for what I did!"

Pang Xuelin brushed away the tears from A Qing's face with his hand and said with a smile: "A Qing, don't be so saver in the future. Look at what the teacher brought back this time when he went out!"

As he said that, Pang Xuelin opened the travel bag and took out the New Year's goods one by one.

"Wow, sausage!"

"Baoke!"

"rice cake!"

"Glutinous rice cake!"

"Melon seeds and peanuts, are these...walnuts?"

"And the oily soybean skin!"

...

As Pang Xuelin took out the things from his travel bag one by one, A Qing's eyes became brighter and brighter. He raised his head and said, "Teacher, is this what we eat during the New Year?"

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Of course! We will eat bacon and stir-fried rice cakes tonight."

Ah Qing nodded and said, "Teacher Pang, then you have a rest first, I'll boil water for you to wash your feet! I'll cook next!"

"A Qing, wait a moment!"

Pang Xuelin quickly called Ah Qing and took out various gifts from another travel bag.

Candy, schoolbag, pencil case, two sets of clothes, bear dolls, and a bow-tie headband.

Both the clothes and the bear doll were bought by Wang Muhui. Pang Xuelin originally wanted to give the money to the other party, but Wang Muhui insisted on not wanting it, and even almost got anxious with Pang Xuelin, so Pang Xuelin had to give up.

"Pang...Teacher Pang...these are..."

Ah Qing looked at the gift placed in front of him and said timidly.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "These are all for you!"

"Give it to me?"

Ah Qing reached out and seemed to want to touch the bear doll, but he reached halfway through, then shook his head and said, "Teacher Pang, these are too expensive, Ah Qing can't take them!"

Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "A Qing, you can just accept it. These things are given to you by an aunt who the teacher knows!"

"A aunt gave it to me?"

Pang Xuelin said: "Yes, after the New Year, that aunt will come to see you!"

"But, teacher..."

"Okay, these are the gifts that the aunt carefully selected to give you. If you don't accept them, you will let them down!"

"Teacher, then... I'll take it!"

Although Ah Qing was still a little timid, the excitement in her eyes could not be concealed.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Take these gifts back to your own house and put them away! Boil water tonight and take a shower, and then change into new clothes."

"Uh-huh!"

Ah Qing first took the schoolbag and pencil case, then picked up his clothes and teddy bear, turned around and trotted towards his room.

Pang Xuelin couldn't help but shake his head and laughed.

After a while, A Qing came back, pointed to the big bag of candy and said, "Teacher, can I distribute these things to Xiujuan, Qiaolan, Aqiang, Jingjing and the others?"

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Everything is OK, the teacher has prepared a copy for each of them! Oh, by the way..."

Pang Xuelin took out a piece of chocolate from the bag containing candy, then opened the packaging, stuffed it into Aqing's mouth and said, "Aqing, taste this, is it sweet?"

"sweet!"
