Chapter 43 Buy, buy, buy
The car soon arrived at the terminal. The children got off the car and stared around in shock. This was the first time they saw so many cars and the first time they saw so many people.
Because of National Day, there are many people and bustling.
Lin Ping asked the children to hold hands and line up together. Ma Zhongguo was at the end of the team, Lin Ping was at the front, and Wang Xinming was at the side of the team. The three of them were afraid that the children would be dispersed by the crowd and then separated. Wang Xinming was enthusiastic and followed them into the county town to help Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo take care of the children.
"Brother Xinming," Lin Ping asked, "Where is the swimming pool or swimming center in our county?"
Wang Xinming smoked a cigarette and thought for a while and said, "As far as I know, our Xibei County does not have the swimming pool and swimming center you mentioned. Teacher Lin, aren't you kidding? We are a poor county, and we still have a swimming pool? Why not spend more money on road construction and school construction."
Lin Ping nodded and said, "Yes."
Then he muttered, "It seems we have to go to the city to take a look."
"No, Teacher Lin, why did you ask the swimming center?" Wang Xinming threw the cigarette butt underground and stepped on it with his feet.
Lin Ping bent down and picked up the cigarette butts thrown by Wang Xinming and put them in his pocket. Wang Xinming was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.
"I want to take Dazhu to see him. He has a good swimming skills. I want to contact the coaches and teachers there." Lin Ping said.
"Oh, then you're going to the city for this reason?" Wang Xinming said.
"Not all, I'm going to buy some clothes and books for the children." Lin Ping said. The clothes worn by the children were dirt and old, and several boys didn't even wear shorts. Lin Ping went to the city this time to buy some clothes for them.
The group walked on the road, frequently attracting the attention and pointing points of passers-by.
"Teacher," said Liu Qingmei, who was sensitive inside, "they looked at us so strangely."
Lin Ping looked around and it was true. The eyes of those passers-by were very complicated, with sympathy, curiosity, contempt and disgust. No matter what, such eyes were uncomfortable. Looking at Lin Ping and the children was like watching Sha Gen enter the city. In fact, it didn't matter if he looked at Lin Ping and the others, but some passers-by kept staring at Lin Ping and the others, which made people feel uncomfortable all over.
But it is understandable. After all, Lin Ping has many people, and the children wear very rustic clothes, as if they came out of the 1990s, and there is no way to avoid attracting attention.
"It's okay," Lin Ping said with a smile, "You just remember not to look at others with this kind of gaze in the future."
Liu Qingmei nodded: "Yes."
Under the leadership of Wang Xinming, Lin Ping took the children to the pedestrian street in Xibei County. There were many shops here. The children widened their eyes when they saw it. The dazzling array of goods made these children dazzled.
"Wow, candied haws." The children's resistance to candied haws seems to be about zero.
"Teacher, what is that?"
A child pointed to the stall selling marshmallows in the distance and asked, "This was the first time they saw marshmallows. They only saw the marshmallows master put a stick into the machine and turned around, and then a large ball of things appeared on the stick."
"Boss, come 13 candied haws." Lin Ping said to the boss who sells candied haws.
"Don't, Teacher Lin, I won't eat it." Ma Zhongguo said, "Just give it to the children. If you don't have good teeth, don't eat sweet food."
Wang Xin waved his hand clearly: "I don't eat it either, I can't eat it."
"Okay, then let's have eleven." Lin Ping ate it himself.
Then Lin Ping came to the marshmallow stall and bought ten marshmallows for the children: "This thing is called marshmallows."
"It really looks like cotton." Feng Xiao touched the cotton candy with his hand and said.
"Teacher, is this made of cotton?" Liu Yinglan, the fourth-grade girl, asked naively.
"It must be," Liu Xiangqian began to show off again, "Marshmallows must be made of cotton and sugar."
Before Lin Ping could speak, the master of the marshmallow stall was amused by the two children and laughed loudly. Then he asked the children to follow the marshmallow machine to explain the production of marshmallows to these children.
The children were all shocked to see that the little bit of sugar could turn into such a large mass after being machined.
Then they transformed into 100,000 whys and began to surround the marshmallow master and ask where to ask. He suddenly stopped asking the marshmallow master, but he couldn't answer. Although he knew how to make marshmallow, he didn't know what the principle was.
Lin Ping smiled and helped Master Marshmallow: "Students, the process of making marshmallows involves the principle of centrifugal force in physics and the molecular structure in chemistry..."
Then Lin Ping borrowed the machine of the marshmallow master and began to explain the principle of making marshmallows to the group of children. During the explanation, many children who bought marshmallows stopped to listen to Lin Ping's explanation.
However, due to limited knowledge, students still understand it.
Lin Ping finally said: "Students, you may still not understand the principles taught by the teacher. It doesn't matter. If you follow the teacher to learn physics and chemistry well in the next days, you will understand."
After Lin Ping finished speaking, everyone around him applauded.
"You are such a good teacher." Marshmallow Master praised.
Lin Ping smiled and said thank you, then took the children away.
Lin Ping walked in the front, and the children followed closely behind and were very happy to eat candied haws and marshmallows. At the end, Ma Zhongguo and Wang Xinming protected and urged the children.
Then, the group came to a store selling clothes. This store was a cheap discount store, but the clothes inside looked quite fashionable.
The waiter saw Lin Ping bringing a large number of children into the store and frowned slightly, but he still came forward: "Hello, are you here to buy clothes? Or... children buy it?"
"Well, the kids buy it, each of the ten kids behind me buys a few."
As soon as Lin Ping finished speaking, the waiter's eyes lit up, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Okay, okay, let's go to the clothing area that suits them."
Only then did the children realize that Lin Ping was going to take them to buy new clothes, and they were so happy that they didn't know what to say.
[System: Your students "Liu Qingmei", "Liu Weiguo", "Liu Dazhu"... and ten other students have exceeded 100 in friendship with you, and have reached a "eternal friendship" friendship.]
【Eternal Friendship】: Students will always remember you and thank you for the experience you have brought to them during their student years. Students who achieve this result will always be in touch with you and give more feedback to you and the school in the future.
Lin Ping smiled in his heart. He didn't care about the prompt given by the system. It was not only a systematic prompt, but he felt that his friendship with the children had also reached that unbreakable friendship.
Sometimes I think about it, isn’t being a teacher also an investment?
People's hearts are exchanged. When you treat every student with your heart, you are investing in them. As long as you are a good teacher and have achieved a sufficiently important position in their hearts, how can they forget you in your future life?
