A foreign city, dear you

There were few vehicles on the road and buses were speeding along.

About twenty minutes later, it was getting brighter and the speed of the car slowly slowed down.

Teacher Xie stood up and instructed the driver to stop on the side of the road.

Is this the pick-up point?

Ye Lian looked outside, and sure enough, there were four children waiting on the roadside accompanied by their parents.

They were all wearing school uniforms, some were older and some were younger. The younger one was probably only in the first grade.

It's not easy for the children. It's not yet half past six, and they should have been waiting here for a while.

Ye Lian was very ashamed. She was so dizzy that she couldn't tell the difference between north, south, east, and west. She didn't even know which pick-up point this was.

She quickly stood up and wanted to greet the students at the car door.

But Teacher Xie stopped her as she got out of the car and said, "You don't have to get up if you get carsick. I can just come."

Ye Lian thanked her gratefully. But she got up anyway.

She didn't get off the bus, so she stayed in her seat and watched the students getting on the bus one after another find their seats and sit down. Finally, the youngest boy was carried into the car by Teacher Xie.

As soon as the door closed, the bus started again and drove to the next pick-up point. The children waved goodbye out the window.

The school bus picks up from the farthest pick-up and drop-off point, and then drives to the school while picking up children from other pick-up and drop-off points.

Thanks to Teacher Xie.

He knew every pick-up and drop-off point clearly and arranged it properly. And he took over all the work of picking up the students and getting them on the bus, saving Ye Lian the embarrassment and difficulty caused by motion sickness.

The originally empty carriage was now filled with children. Most of the children were still awake and continued their sleep in the car.

After picking up the first batch of children and returning to school, it was almost [-]:[-].

As soon as the car door opened, the children were like water flowing from the gate. Under the guidance of Teacher Xie, the children slowly poured out and then flowed into various classrooms.

Ye Lian also got out of the car. She wanted to take the opportunity to breathe in the fresh air outside.

Her face was pale and ugly, and she felt the nausea rising in her throat. She wanted to find a place to spit it out happily, but she couldn't.

Teacher Xie handed over a tissue and said, "Why don't you go if you don't get off the train?" Ye Lian shook her head.

Although she felt useless, she at least had to show up.

Ye Lian took a few deep breaths and boarded the school bus that scared her again.

The sun has risen and shines brightly.

Although it is almost late September, the weather is still so hot, and the wind blowing through the window has lost the coolness at dawn.

Ye Lian persisted and endured every uncomfortable shaking of the school bus...

Although Ye Lian found it difficult, in fact, about twenty minutes later, the second batch of students was picked up.

After all the students got off the bus, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had finally passed the most difficult period of the morning.

She got out of the car weakly and slowly, wanting to stay far away from the school bus so as not to smell the smell of the school bus.

Alas, for those who suffer from motion sickness, following the school bus is really uncomfortable, but we still have to follow it in the afternoon.

She walked to the playground, squatted against the pillar of the basketball hoop, and breathed in the air outside. She wanted to wait until she calmed down a bit before going to the office.

She held her head in her hands and didn't notice when Teacher Xie came to her side.

She heard Teacher Xie ask her: "Are you okay? What do you want for breakfast? Can I buy it together?"

Ye Lian shook her head and said she didn't want to eat anything.

Yes, I am feeling sick, where can I eat?

Besides, it was almost eight o'clock and she had to go to morning reading class.

Ye Lian squatted for a while, and after feeling more comfortable, she went to the office to sign in, and then went to Class 1 ([-]) for morning reading.

The students have almost arrived, and they are all reading the text with their English books.

On the podium, some English homework has been handed in.

After Ye Lian inspected the classroom, she came to the podium.

She opened the top workbook and saw two sentences in the workbook:

There is a little water in the glass.

There is little ink in the bottle.

Water? ink?

Seeing the water and ink, Ye Lian suddenly remembered the joke Cao Xueqian told her after get off work the day before about the Korean boss who wanted to print drawings, and she laughed again.

"Lian, if you were here and saw us glaring at me and me glaring at you in such an anxious way, you would definitely feel a stomachache from laughing, haha."

When Cao Xueqian told this joke, he couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Lian also laughed.

Haha, what a talent, he can’t even know such a simple word.

However, it’s okay to smile. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Qian smile so freely and happily.

It was really not easy for him to read day and night for a whole week and study the drawings without sleep or food in the new and challenging tasks.

He is still an apprentice.

As long as he didn't take off the dark blue work clothes that indicated his apprentice status, the pressure and frustration on his body would not be eliminated.

How he longed to put on that light blue work clothes again!

When will this day come?

This day should not be far away, right?

Didn't he make rapid progress and start to hit the road? Don’t you already know 3D drawing? Didn’t those supervisors appreciate his abilities? Didn't even the Korean customer praise him as a "good boy"?

……

Ye Lian thought about Cao Xueqian's jokes and Cao Xueqian's hard work, and her heart felt happy and full of hope. The remaining fatigue and discomfort caused by motion sickness were also wiped away.

The morning reading bell rang, and morning reading officially began.

The English class representative consciously led the whole class to read early, and the sound of books was loud in the classroom.

Ye Lian looked at the energetic and childish faces in the audience, thinking that she was working hard with Cao Xueqian, and her heart was filled with the power to overcome all difficulties!
