After a simple rebirth

I thought the class would be just a dull one, but on Friday, a classmate gave the English teacher a gift as soon as the class started, wishing her a happy Teacher's Day.

Fu Ying, the English class representative... The English class representative has not expressed anything yet and has even forgotten that Teacher's Day is coming soon.

Day by day, Fu Ying only remembered what day of the week it was and didn't pay attention to the date.

And it was so sudden, I couldn't think of a gift! They weren't elementary school students, so I could give them a greeting card or some handmade flowers. I couldn't give high school students expensive gifts, after all, there were so many teachers! I couldn't think of anything to think of...

In fact, only a few people give gifts. Most people, like Fu Ying, are unsure whether they should give gifts or not, and can't think of what to give.

When that classmate gave her the gift, Fu Ying was wondering what to do. She couldn't express too much, but she couldn't express too little either.

During class, she couldn't help but daydream about this matter, and finally came up with a "dirty trick".

Don’t we visit the elderly and children on Double Ninth Festival and Children’s Day? Why can’t we visit teachers on Teacher’s Day? Leaders visit retired teachers, so it’s normal for students like us to care about our subject teachers.

We are all young, so the word "consolation" is not very good, but "concern" is good. But young people are full of energy, and the best way to show concern is to help the teacher clean up.

Normally, when subject teachers ask students to help with cleaning, they may feel it is not a good idea because some students may not be willing to do so. But at this time, the students should all choose to do so.

After thinking it through, Fu Ying decided to talk to her classmates during break to get their opinions.

As soon as the English teacher left, Fu Ying immediately asked the students to stay.

"Classmates, tomorrow is Teacher's Day. Some of you have already prepared gifts, but some of you may not have paid attention to the time like me and have not prepared gifts yet. Tomorrow is Saturday, and today is Friday, we are off school. It is easy to run away in the afternoon, and it is too late in the evening, so it is too late to prepare now.

I have an idea now, let’s listen to it.

Today happens to be Friday, and most teachers are in school. The students are also free now. I suggest that we have the class representative be the leader of the group to show concern for the subject teachers on Teacher's Day, and the other students who have no time to prepare can voluntarily join that group, with five people in each group, and then go to the teacher's office to help the teacher tidy up the desk, sweep the floor, etc.

It doesn't take too long. I happen to have some free time during the break, so ten minutes will be enough. It can also be regarded as a way to show my respect and blessings to the teacher with my own strength.

It doesn't matter if you don't want to participate. This is voluntary. If you want to participate, find your class representative. Five people can go directly, but don't go more than ten people. People who don't know will mistakenly think that we, Class 1, Grade 1, are going to fight."

The audience suddenly burst into laughter. Fu Ying also laughed. Seeing that they listened carefully, she added,

"I remind you of a few details: 1. Let's go now and give the teachers a surprise. Remember to say Happy Teacher's Day. 2. Relax your mindset. You don't have to help the teachers clean up. Showing our actions and attitude is the most important. 3. Volunteering is the main thing. Don't force others. Students who don't want to go, please help us keep an eye on the class base camp. We will be back after we are done."

"Now, those who are going to the English teacher's office, follow me to the door. The number of seats is limited, first come first served."

After saying this, Fu Ying stood at the door and waited for the students to come out. She then called the class monitors Wang Xueting and Yuan Jun to come over to her.

"I suggest that one of you two go last, or check the situation in the class and notice which subject teacher's office is short of people. Since every teacher has to go, try to have an even number of people going. Some students may want to go but don't know which teacher to go to. You can be the coordinator and help arrange it. I'll take the lead and go to the English teacher's office first."

In fact, after Fu Ying said she was going to the office, the classmates discussed for a while and then started looking for the class representative. After Fu Ying told the class monitor, she led the seven or eight classmates who gathered around her to the office building.

On the way, I told my classmates again, and when we got to the English teacher's office, she started talking and told them what everyone else would say and what each person was roughly responsible for.

When we arrived at the English teacher's office, she was chatting with other teachers at her seat. When she saw Fu Ying and the others come in, she was curious and asked what was going on.

After Fu Ying waited for everyone to enter, she called out to the teacher, and the other students bowed their heads and shouted with her, "Happy Teacher's Day."

The English teacher was surprised and delighted by this scene. Fu Ying explained to her,

"Teacher, tomorrow is Teacher's Day. It's your holiday so you can go and have some fun. We are here to help you celebrate the holiday in advance. The classmates in your class have volunteered to help you clean the office. You can just enjoy watching us busy."

"Ah? So sudden?" The English teacher was still immersed in shock.

"Yes, don't worry, teacher. We will definitely make it clean for you."

Then Fu Ying began to arrange people. One student took the broom to sweep the floor, one student took the mop to mop the floor, and the rest of the students were ready to help wipe the table.

There was not only the English teacher in the office, but also two other teachers. Fu Ying asked them to each help by wiping the tables and so on.

Fu Ying and another classmate were left to help the English teacher organize the homework. They wiped the entire desk, including the computer screen and keyboard, and the teacher's chair carefully.

After she finished cleaning, the students who were helping other teachers came back. The two teachers over there kept praising them to their English teacher.

"Teacher Li, your classmates are so nice. Not only are they polite, but they also take the initiative to come over and help with cleaning. They are so thoughtful."

The English teacher smiled from ear to ear, "I was also surprised. They really came here to do this on their own. But the students in Class 1 are all very good. Not only are they good at studying, but their behavior is also very good."

Listening to them praising each other, Fu Ying and the others waited for a while, and when they saw that nothing was happening, they told the English teacher and asked them to continue chatting, and then Fu Ying and the others returned to class.

On the way back to class, the students were even more excited. Several girls couldn't help but come over and chatter.

"Fu Ying, you are so awesome. How did you come up with the idea of ​​helping the teacher with cleaning?"

Fu Ying answered modestly, "I just realized that tomorrow is Teacher's Day. It's too late to prepare now. It's not good to disturb them since the teachers are on holiday tomorrow. So I'll just help the teachers clean up and show my appreciation."

"I didn't expect this! When we went there, the English teacher was surprised and happy, and other teachers also praised us!" A girl whose name Fu Ying couldn't remember said excitedly.

The group returned to the classroom. Some of them may not have gone, but most of them probably went and came back. Before Fu Ying sat down, students kept coming back.

The sudden action seemed to have enhanced the relationship a little. Specifically, the class was chattering for the first time. Many students were discussing the scene behind the office, and the whole class was like a vegetable market.
