Chapter 30 "and then……"

The lunch time in Ba Xueyuan, which everyone has been looking forward to, has recently added an interesting new program. Before this, the lunch time of Ba Xueyuan was like this: first, Mr. Principal checks the box lunches of fifty students in the school to see if they have all brought "Taste of Mountain" and "Taste of Sea". With one kind, the headmaster's wife, who walks behind the teacher with a pot in each hand, will fill the pot with vegetables and distribute them to the child.Then everyone sang together: "Chew well, take what you eat..." After singing, say "I ate it", and lunch began.But now, after saying "I'm eating", another program has been added, which is "Who will 'talk''.

Two days ago, Mr. Principal said: "It would be nice for everyone to be good at talking. Starting today, when we are having lunch, one person will go to the middle of the circle to talk every day. How about it? Some of the children thought, "Although I'm not good at talking, it's interesting to listen to", some thought "Wow, I like talking to so many people", in short, they had various ideas.Xiao Doudou thought: "Although I don't know what to say, I want to try." In this way, most of the children agreed with Mr. Principal's proposal, and the "talking" program began at lunch the next day.

According to his own life experience abroad, Mr. Principal said to the children who are usually taught at home that "you are not allowed to talk while eating": "When eating, you should try to be in a good mood. Don't rush to finish eating, but take your time, and it's better to eat while talking about various topics." That's what Mr. Principal always says.Moreover, Mr. also believes that: "In the future, it is absolutely essential for children to be able to express themselves clearly, freely and without shyness in front of others." Therefore, the husband decided to start training the children's expressive ability now.When everyone said "agree", the husband said the following, Xiaodoudou listened attentively.

"Okay? Don't think that you have to say it well, as long as it's what you want to say, you can say anything. Anyway, give it a try!" The order of speaking is also arranged.After everyone sings, "Chew well...," the talking child can eat quickly. However, the speaking this time was different from the time when three or five of you chatted together during recess. This was speaking in the middle of fifty students in the school, which undoubtedly required courage and was very difficult.At the beginning, some children were very shy and just smiled "hehe, hehe"; some children finally came up with a topic, but they forgot all of it at the beginning, and only repeated a topic such as "the frog jumped sideways" Repeatedly, the result is only one sentence:

"It's raining...it's over." He just bowed and returned to his seat. It wasn't Xiaodoudou's turn yet, but when it was her turn, Xiaodoudou also talked about her favorite "The Story of the Princess and the Prince".It's just that Xiaodoudou's "The Story of the Princess and the Prince" is so famous. Whenever I tell it to everyone during the break, everyone says "ah, I'm tired of listening to it".Despite this, Xiaodoudou decided to just say this. In this way, every day a child stood among everyone and spoke.One day, it was a boy's turn, but he "didn't want to talk" anyway, because:

"I have nothing to say." Xiaodoudou thought it was strange that someone had nothing to say.However, the boy still insisted that he had nothing to say, and Mr. Principal walked up to the table where the empty lunch box was placed and said: "You said you had nothing to say..." "Nothing." said the child.This is definitely not deliberately looking for awkwardness, or deliberately looking for trouble, but there is really nothing to say. Mr. Principal laughed "hahaha", not caring about his leaky teeth at all, and continued: "Well, let's make one up."

"Make one up?" the boy asked in great surprise. So, Mr. Principal asked the boy to stand in the middle of everyone, sat in the boy's seat, and said: "Think about what happened when you got up this morning and arrived at school. What did you do in the first place?" The boy scratched his head and said first: "Hey--" Mr. Principal said: "Look, you said 'Hey—', didn't you have something to say? After 'Hey—', what do you say?" The boy scratched his head again, and continued: "Hey—I got up in the morning." Although Xiaodoudou and the elementary school students thought it was a bit ridiculous, they all listened carefully.Then the boy said:

"and then……" As he spoke, he scratched his head again.Mr. Principal folded his hands together and put them on the table, smiling and looking at the child all the time.At this time, Mr. said: "Good. That's how everyone knows you get up in the morning. It's not that you say something funny, or something that makes people laugh That being said, that’s the most important thing.” Then the boy said in a very loud voice: "and then……" Everyone leaned forward together.The boy took a deep breath and said: "Then, my mother said to me 'Shaan brush my teeth', so I brushed my teeth."

Mr. Principal clapped his hands, and everyone clapped their hands too.Then, the boy's voice was louder than before: "Then, I came to school." Among the senior students who were leaning forward, some children seemed to be leaning too far, touching their heads on the lunch box.However, everyone is very happy. "That kid has something to say!" The husband clapped his hands enthusiastically, and Xiaodoudou and the others also clapped vigorously.The boy standing in the middle who said "then..." also applauded together.There was applause in the auditorium. The applause this time, even after the boy grows up, he will never forget it.
