On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the deserted school gradually became lively as the students arrived one after another. Lin Ping also brought Liu Qingmei, who was alone at home, to the school to have a banquet in his later years with everyone.

"Teacher! Teacher!"

Liu Dazhu was sent over by his father. He ran into the school happily, and his father followed behind with a lot of things.

"Teacher, this is a gift from my father and I to the two teachers!" Liu Dazhu took the gift from his father and handed it to Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo.

Ma Zhongguo opened the bag of gifts and looked at it. The gift looked a bit expensive, and hurriedly said, "How can this work? Take it quickly."

Liu Dazhu's father lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "This is what it should be. Without two teachers, there would be no Liu Dazhu today."

Ma Zhongguo smiled and said, "I have no credit. They are all from Teacher Lin, and they are all from Teacher Lin."

Liu Dazhu's father looked at Lin Ping and said in a hint: "I misunderstood you before, I'll compensate you here."

As he said that, Liu Dazhu's father bent down and bowed clumsyly to Lin Ping.

"Uncle Liu, you can do it. It is also what my teacher should do to make Dazhu have a brighter future." Lin Ping quickly helped Liu Dazhu's father up.

Liu Dazhu's father took the opportunity to hold Lin Ping's hand tightly and said heavily: "Benefactor."

"Uncle Liu, you are so serious..." Lin Ping didn't know what to say, so he asked, "You can stay here tonight, the children are having dinner here."

Liu Dazhu's father smiled and shook his head: "No, you teachers and students have a meal together, and you have a happy meal. I, an outsider, will not participate. This time I will come to give you gifts."

After saying that, Liu Dazhu's father turned around and was about to leave.

"Uncle Liu, please take these gifts back! Our teachers cannot accept gifts from parents." Lin Ping said.

Liu Dazhu's father turned his head and said, "Why can't you accept it? If you don't accept it, you will throw it away! Besides, is this given by the parents?"

Liu Dazhu was so smart that he smiled foolishly: "Teacher, this was not given to me by my father, this was given to me!"

Liu Dazhu's father was firm in his attitude and did not give Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo a chance to give in. He just walked away and left, leaving only Liu Dazhu standing there and giggling foolishly.

Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo looked at each other with helpless look on their faces.

In addition to Liu Dazhu, other students brought things from home, some brought half a chicken, and some brought a piece of bacon. Liu Xiangqian originally came empty-handed, but when he saw that the other students had brought things, he immediately turned around and ran to the house to get things home without saying a word, but no one could stop him.

Lin Ping took Liu Weiguo and Li Shulin to the classroom to carry the table out and put it into the courtyard to form a large table. Then he found a clean bed sheet to spread it on it, and then took out the bowls and chopsticks and placed it on the table.

Ma Zhongguo was cooking there, Liu Qingmei was helping, and the other children were fighting and laughing.

The smoke from the cooking stove is curling, and there is harmony.

The food started to serve. At this time, Wang Xinming appeared at the school gate in a brand new tricycle humming a song. When he saw the scene in the school, he was stunned for a moment and said happily: "Okay, you have a very happy life!"

"It's better to come here than to be a coincidence. Brother Xinming, come and sit down too!" Lin Ping greeted.

"Okay." Wang Xinmin agreed and then started unloading things from the three-wheeled wheel. "Today I am planning to give you and Teacher Ma some good things, which is a coincidence!"

Wang Xinming said as he moved a box of instant noodles, two bottles of liquor, a cheap cigarette and two fireworks from the tricycle.

The students happily gathered around and shouted happily: "Wow! Instant noodles! Instant noodles!"

"Teacher! Teacher! I want to eat instant noodles!"

"I want to do it too! I want to do it too!"

Several children stared at the instant noodles with their eyes fixed on them and shouted, saliva was about to flow from the corners of their mouths.

Instant noodles, known as "junk food", are rare luxury goods for this group of children in the mountains. They are fatal to attract them and even have the same status as meat and eggs in their hearts. In fact, it is not just the children in the mountains. Even for children in the city, many children have a desire for instant noodles that adults cannot understand.

"Okay, okay!" Lin Ping said with a smile, "Can we have dinner first and then make a bowl of instant noodles each?"

"Okay!" the children shouted happily in unison.

"Uncle Xinming, what is this?" Feng Xiao pointed at the fireworks and asked.

Liu Weiguo rushed to say, "Didn't you see it? Fireworks!"

"Fireworks... what kind of flower is it?" the little girl Liu Yinglan asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Fireworks? Are they the fireworks that can explode in the air when they fly into the sky?" Feng Xiao said in an excited tone.

"Yes!" Wang Xinming nodded and said with a smile.

"That's great... will it be put tonight?"

Feng Xiao was so excited that he was incoherent that other children also became excited. Fireworks were a luxury for this place in this era. People in the mountain village prefer to buy relatively cheap firecrackers. Fireworks, which are not practical and expensive, are not within their considerations.

Wang Xinming glanced at Lin Ping, Lin Ping nodded, and Wang Xinming said, "Yes, it will be set tonight! We will set off fireworks after dinner!"

"Okay!" the children puffed up their hands.

"Eat first!" Lin Ping greeted the children and sat down around the table.

"Teacher, instant noodles!" Li Shulin never forgot instant noodles.

When Li Shulin shouted, the other children also shouted: "Instant noodles! Instant noodles!"

"Let's eat the vegetables first, and then eat instant noodles after eating them?" Lin Ping said with a smile.

The children nodded reluctantly.

"Start eat!"

Lin Ping gave the order, and the children grabbed the chopsticks on the table to pick up the food.

The children had a lot of fun eating, and Liu Xiangqian was even unsatisfied with his hands and grabbed it.

Lin Ping took the chopsticks and knocked Liu Xiangqian's back hard: "Liu Xiangqian, who told you to do it?"

Liu Xiangqian hurriedly smiled and put away his hand.

"Didn't your parents set rules for you at the dinner table?" Lin Ping said seriously, "In the future, don't be allowed to eat! Second, you just need to hold the food in front of you, and you can't pick up the food on the other side!"

The atmosphere on the dining table suddenly solidified.

"Li Shulin, you are talking about you. Why don't you pick up the dish from you? Do you have to pick up the dish from here across the dish?" Lin Ping asked.

Li Shulin smiled embarrassedly: "Teacher, there is so much meat over there..."

"You can't even get the ones here even if you have too much meat? This is a very rude behavior. Only annoying children will do this." Lin Ping said, turning the direction of the plate, "Okay, remember now, you can only hold your own ones for dinner in the future, and don't pick up other people's ones."

Wang Xinming smiled and smoothed out: "Children in the mountains are young, ignorant, and don't pay so much attention to..."

"It is precisely because I am ignorant that I have to teach them, otherwise I will form a habit and do this when I grow up. It is a shame at the dinner table, and it will make others lose their appetite." Lin Ping said with a smile.

"By the way, don't flip the food on the plate in the future. Eat whatever you pick up."

Lin Ping's words are quite prestige in the hearts of these children. Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this on this occasion, Lin Ping must change the bad habits of these children. Why do some people in the city look down on the country people? Many things are caused by etiquette and details. Lin Ping does not want these children to be scolded for being uneducated when they enter the city in the future because of meal problems.

"Okay, everyone must remember the three points that the teacher just said in the future. Don't have those three situations when eating. Only in this way can you be good students who are civilized and polite." Lin Ping said, "If you can't reach the teacher, the teacher will help you pick them up!"

The little girl Liu Yinglan said, "Teacher, I want to eat chicken, I can't reach it!"

Lin Ping picked up the small bowl in front of Liu Yinglan and picked up a few pieces of chicken for him.

"Thank you, teacher!" Liu Yinglan said with a smile holding a small bowl.

Soon, the anger at the dinner table recovered. Everyone was talking and laughing. The children were talking and talking and saying things that made Lin Ping, Ma Zhongguo and Wang Xinming laugh.

"Teacher, instant noodles!"

After eating almost half of the meal, Li Shulin kept mentioning instant noodles again.

"Yes, teacher, instant noodles!"

The other children also started talking.

"Okay, the teacher makes instant noodles for you!"

As he said that, Lin Ping went back to the house to carry a pot of hot water. Liu Qingmei followed him and also carried a pot of hot water, and then smiled and said, "Teacher, I'll help you!"

"Okay, thank you Liu Qingmei." Lin Ping said with a smile, "Be careful not to let the hot water burn, don't burn your classmates and yourself."

"Yes!" Liu Qingmei nodded.

The two of them soaked instant noodles in their bowls and covered them with packaging bags. Several children were greedy and wanted to eat them on the spot.

Lin Ping hurriedly called them and said with a smile: "Wait! You see, you are so anxious that the noodles have not yet been soaked. Wait for two minutes and the teacher said it's OK before eating."

The children put down their chopsticks and didn't go to eat other dishes, and looked at instant noodles with a eager look.

Lin Ping estimated that the noodles were about the same time and also soaked them open, and said, "Okay, you can eat them."

The children lowered their heads and held the bowl and started eating voraciously, sucking the noodles into their mouths, drinking not even the soup in the bowl.

"Is it that delicious?" Lin Ping asked with a smile.

"It's delicious!" the children replied in unison.

"It's better than meat!" Liu Dazhu said with a foolish smile.
