Chapter 149: Elementary School

  Chapter 149: Elementary School

  At night, the naughty bag and the goat were pulled into the valley warehouse, accompanied by the breeding pastoral dog. This time, the horse stable finally calmed down completely. Anyway, as long as the two troublemakers didn't meet, it was fine. For two consecutive nights, Ju'an was busy revising his speech, trying to make it interesting for Jerry's little devil head. After @虹*wen¥xue%wang had roughly organized his own manuscript, Jerry's phone call arrived, asking Ju'an to go to school tomorrow afternoon to introduce Chinese culture.

  Finally revised my draft, deleted some things and added some things. First talked about the famous scenic spots at home, followed by traditional old trades, such as opera, sugar people, etc., roughly introduced a bit. The last part is the photos of several representative animals that children are particularly interested in, such as giant pandas, golden monkeys, etc., with a few lines of text below. After reading it again, I felt very satisfied and closed my laptop, printed out a copy of my speech draft, and went to bed contentedly.

  In the morning, after busy with work, Diana came over in her car. After lunch, Ju An began to review the draft for the last time. Seeing Ju An's serious expression, Diana smiled and said: "An! Why don't you become a teacher? You're so serious that it's as if you're explaining something difficult to children."

  "I was a bit afraid of teachers when I was young, and also very mischievous, so when it came to university, I didn't choose to be a teacher. After graduating, I realized that being a teacher is a stable profession with high income, and now I regret it."

  "In China, teachers' income is very high? Here, the teacher's income is not too high, but it's stable. In recent years, the economy hasn't been doing well, so becoming a teacher has gradually become a popular profession. Previously, math and physics technical teachers were hard to find," Diana said, leaning against the sofa and sipping her coffee.

  "Teachers in China have a stable salary, which is much higher than the average wage for ordinary jobs. Moreover, they enjoy comprehensive benefits, making it an attractive profession in China. The treatment of civil servants, teachers and doctors are all very good."

  Diana nodded and then turned on the TV with a very low volume, holding Jinbao and watching it.

  After reading it all the way through, Ju'an began to pack up, putting the manuscript and notebook into a bag and checking if everything was complete. Then she tidied up her clothes, and Diana also stood up to help Ju'an pull up the collar and smooth out wrinkles.

  Everything was ready, so he bid farewell to Diana, slung his bag over his shoulder and headed out the door towards the garage. He opened up his GMP and pulled it in front of the house, then Diana loaded up Wu Song, Teddy, Jia Ba and Hans into the car. The two brothers, Jin Jiu, stayed behind to watch the house while the other two set off with a large group of people towards the town.

  Following Diana's directions, Ju An drove to the school. If it weren't for Diana's reminder, he wouldn't have noticed that this was an elementary school. The entire school was just a single-story building in the shape of a "T", and it didn't look very big. In front of the building, there was a fairly large parking lot with several yellow school buses of varying sizes, the smallest one being slightly larger than the Iveco commonly seen in China. The exterior wall was made of uniform light red ceramic tiles, without any paintings or decorations. From the outside, it didn't look as impressive as schools in China, at least not as good as the elementary school Ju An attended when he was young. His old school had five four-story teaching buildings, which were much more impressive. This place didn't even have a decent main entrance. When they arrived at the parking lot and stopped the car, Ju An noticed the difference once they entered the building. The walls of the American school were decorated with many children's paintings, and one wall was covered with numerous photos of graduates from different years. Ju An found a photo of a student who graduated in 1923, which was a black-and-white picture of several boys and girls dressed formally, with each student's name written below. Since they had arrived earlier than the agreed-upon time, Diana accompanied Ju An to look around the hallway. Soon, Diana found her own graduation photo and pulled Ju An over to take a look. When Ju An saw Diana's graduation photo, he couldn't help but laugh. In the photo, Diana had short hair and was wearing a football jersey, holding a football in her hand, looking like a tomboy with a sweet smile.

  After a while, Ju An and Diana walked towards Jerry's classroom. As they approached the door, a bell rang, signaling the end of class. The doors in the hallway opened with a loud creak, and a group of kids rushed out. Ju An and Diana had to stand against the wall to let them pass. Jerry was the first to spot them and stood at the doorway, waving at them: "Hey! An, Diana's here!" Just as he spoke, a young woman who looked like a teacher appeared at the door.

  An and Diana walked to the classroom door, Jerry introduced his teacher: "An, sister Diana, this is my teacher Ms. Jessica, Ms. Jessica, this is An and sister Diana I told you about." As soon as he finished speaking, Diana was the first to walk up and give Jessica a hug: "So you're Jerry's teacher?"

  Jessica hugged Diana and said, "Haha! So your boyfriend is An, what a coincidence!" After the two girls finished their intimate conversation, Diana explained to Ju An, "This is my middle school classmate. At that time, I, Jessica, and Ruzi were the best sisterhood, very powerful."

  Sister help! Jia'an listened to a cold sweat, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Jessica: "Nice to meet you". After finishing speaking, Jessica led the two people into the classroom. Only when entering the classroom did Jia'an discover the difference. The classroom was paved with dark gray carpet, and several children's paintings were posted on the white wall. Seven or eight desks were not arranged in rows, but were divided into two groups of three or four. On the wall at the entrance, there was a large bookshelf filled with books. In one corner, there was a large stuffed elephant toy as tall as an adult. On the outer wall, there was a large window. On the right side of the entrance, there was a row of low cabinets, on which many layers of plastic small boxes were placed, and it was unknown what was inside. If you say that this is a lunch box, it's too big, and it's not suitable for children to eat. The blackboard was not fixed on the wall like Jia'an's childhood, but had an active frame. In one corner of the classroom, there were two facing office desks, which were estimated to be used by teachers. On the other side of the wall, three or four white Apple computers were placed. The classroom for seven or eight children was as large as 60-70 square meters, with a very spacious space. Next to the window, an American flag was inserted.

  There were no famous quotes posted in the classroom, no neatly arranged rows of desks. The whole classroom looked very casual and warm, with small decorations that seemed to be everywhere. What was most interesting was that on one corner of each child's desk there were colorful pictures of apples, oranges, etc., and each desk had a different picture.

  When Ju An was curiously looking around the classroom, Diana was chatting with the teacher very happily. After Ju An took off her backpack and took out her laptop and other things, Jessica helped Ju An connect her laptop to the projector, tested it for a while without any problems, then heard Diana say: "I'll go first, there are still some small things in the car".

  Jessica curiously asked: "What little thing?"

  "Diana smiled and said: 'A little bear, two small mountain lions, and a monkey, all raised in An's pasture, are on the car.'"

  "Be careful, don't run out and hurt the child," Jessica reminded.

  "No, teacher, Teddy and Wu Song and Hans are all very cute, they won't bite people. My sister and I often go to An's place to play, and they never bit us once. We really like them." Little Jerry immediately spoke up for the few guys.

  So Jessica also became interested and said that everyone went to the car to see a few little guys. When Ju An walked into the parking lot, he found that his car was surrounded by a large group of little heads, with more than a dozen little guys leaning against the window looking inside.

  A group of people walked to the side of the car, and upon looking, they saw that Teddy was leaning against a gap in the window, curiously staring at a bunch of little ghosts outside. Underneath Teddy's big head, which was stuck to the window, were Hans' and Jinbao's two small heads.

  Jessica shooed the little rascals to one side, a few meters away from the car, fearing that the animals inside might hurt the kids. Only then did Jessica open the car door. As soon as the door opened, Jerry darted into the car, hugging Teddy's head, and then waved at the children outside like a small hero. This immediately triggered a chorus of cheers from the surrounding little guys, with some even calling out to Jerry asking if they could pet him. Jessica patted her forehead, what a show-off this little guy was!

  At Diana's request, Jessica also carefully touched Teddy and Bao several times. Looking at the little guys, they were indeed very friendly, so she put her mind at ease.

  Just then, the class bell rang and the little guys outside reluctantly went into the classroom.

  Jessica looked at the suggestion and said, "Can we bring two small mountain lions into the classroom and let the children touch them? They are still young and not very dangerous. We can skip Teddy as it's a bit too big, in case it hurts the kids."

  Looking at the happy Teddy playing with Jerry, Gu An nodded and said: "Okay, actually Teddy has the best temper. If you want to bring the mountain lion, then it's the mountain lion."

  As soon as the words fell, Jerry immediately picked up Hans and Bao with one arm each. Although his hugging standard was not very good, two small arms wrapped around the chests of the two little guys, and when Jessica carried Jerry to the ground, Hans and Bao's hind legs were almost dragging on the ground. Leaving Diana in the car with Teddy and Wu Song, Jessica followed behind, with Little Jerry leading the way in front, holding Hans and Bao brothers in front, their small bodies swaying back and forth in mid-air as they headed towards the classroom.
