Chapter 87 Teacher's Party
In the classroom of Class 7 at Sunshine Middle School, on the eve of Teacher's Day, a surprise party was being secretly planned.
Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin, the two "jokesters" of the class, are leading their classmates in a busy and fun-filled activity, all with the goal of giving their homeroom teacher, Ms. Zhang, an unprecedented and amazing surprise on Teacher's Day.
"Li Shiqing, are you sure Teacher Zhang will like this color of ribbon? I feel like this pink is a bit too girly. Our Teacher Zhang is all about elegance and sophistication." Liu Yixin held a large roll of pink ribbon in her hand, frowned, and asked with a look of doubt.
Li Shiqing was standing on a chair, struggling to hang a huge "Happy Teachers' Day" banner on the wall, when she heard Liu Yixin's words and almost lost her balance and fell. "Oh dear, my dear Liu, don't bother choosing. This pink one is so pretty, it represents our overflowing love for Teacher Zhang, just like Teacher Zhang's meticulous care for us, so sweet and lovely. Besides, although Teacher Zhang is elegant and intellectual, she must have a little princess living inside her heart too."
Wang Yu, the class monitor standing next to her, couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Li Shiqing, don't talk nonsense. I think if Teacher Zhang knew that you described her as a little princess, she would definitely be both amused and exasperated."
"That's right, that's right. But seriously, our surprise party has to be a success! Ms. Zhang always goes to so much trouble for our class, we have to make sure she's really touched this time," said class monitor Chen Chen as she sorted through the blessing cards written by her classmates.
Just then, the mischievous Zhao Gang ran in from outside, holding a box in his hand, and excitedly shouted, "Look, I brought my dad's treasured tea from home. This is top-grade Longjing tea. Teacher Zhang works so hard in class, he should have some good tea to soothe his throat."
Li Shiqing jumped off the chair, snatched the box, opened it, and smelled it: "Wow, Zhao Gang, I didn't realize you were so thoughtful. But this tea is so good, won't your dad find out and beat you up?"
Zhao Gang chuckled: "Don't worry, my dad's such a scatterbrain, he won't find out. Even if he does, I'll just say it's for our beloved Teacher Zhang, and he'll definitely support me."
Just as everyone was laughing and chatting, the classroom door suddenly creaked open, startling everyone. Thinking it was Teacher Zhang, they hurriedly hid their things. It turned out to be Teacher Li, the substitute math teacher. Looking at the students' flustered state, he asked with a puzzled expression, "What are you all doing? Sneaking around like that."
Liu Yixin reacted the fastest, smiling and saying, "Teacher Li, we didn't do anything, we were just cleaning. Tomorrow is Teacher's Day, and we wanted the classroom to be clean so that the teachers could have a good environment."
Teacher Li looked around. The ground was clearly a mess, covered in ribbons and balloons. She obviously didn't believe Liu Yixin's story, but she didn't press the matter. She just smiled and said, "Oh, I see. But don't be too naughty. If you make a mess of the classroom, Teacher Zhang will have a headache again."
After Teacher Li left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Shiqing patted her chest and said, "Oh dear, that scared me to death. We almost got discovered. We need to speed things up."
So, the students got busy again. Some were blowing up balloons, some were setting up tables and chairs, and others were preparing for their performances. The arts and culture representative, Lin Xiao, organized a few students to rehearse a small chorus in a corner of the classroom. Although their singing wasn't particularly professional, they all sang with great seriousness, and every note was filled with gratitude for their teacher.
"Lin Xiao, you guys really need to practice your choir performance properly. It's one of the highlights of our party. If you sing too off-key, Teacher Zhang will probably burst out laughing," Liu Yixin said as she walked over.
Lin Xiao rolled her eyes at her: "Don't worry, we'll definitely be fine. But you, you and Li Shiqing, don't mess up that skit you prepared."
"Haha, our skit has been carefully choreographed, it'll definitely make Teacher Zhang laugh until his stomach hurts. Just you wait and see," Li Shiqing said confidently.
Time flies, and Teacher's Day arrived in the blink of an eye. The students arrived at school early, and the classroom was filled with a tense yet excited atmosphere. Everyone was eagerly anticipating Teacher Zhang's arrival, imagining her expression upon seeing everything.
Finally, the school bell rang, and Ms. Zhang walked into the classroom as usual. The moment she pushed open the door, she was stunned. The classroom was filled with colorful balloons and ribbons, and a beautiful drawing was on the blackboard that read, "Happy Teacher's Day, Ms. Zhang, thank you for your hard work!" The podium was covered with flowers, cards, and various small gifts.
The students stood up in unison and shouted, "Happy Teacher's Day, Teacher Zhang!"
Teacher Zhang's eyes welled up with tears. She said, moved, "Students, did you all make all of this? I'm so surprised and delighted."
“Teacher Zhang, this is what we should do. You’ve always been so kind to us, and we all wanted to take this opportunity to express our gratitude,” said Chen Chen, the class monitor, as he stepped forward.
Teacher Zhang gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, a smile of emotion and relief on her face, and began to examine the gifts that the students had carefully prepared. She picked up Zhao Gang's Longjing tea and joked, "Zhao Gang, this tea must have been expensive. If your dad finds out it's 'missing,' he'll have to put in a good word for you. But, I'm really touched; the aroma of this tea seems to have seeped into my heart."
Everyone laughed along, and the atmosphere in the classroom was cheerful and warm.
At this moment, Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin exchanged a glance, then walked up to the podium, cleared their throats and said, "Teacher Zhang, the best is yet to come. Please enjoy the super funny skit we have prepared especially for you—'Many Funny Things in the Classroom'."
At the start of the skit, Li Shiqing played a mischievous student, while Liu Yixin transformed into a strict yet humorous teacher. Li Shiqing acted out various antics on stage, pretending to fall asleep and reciting texts in her sleep, and then using a blackboard eraser as a microphone to sing. Liu Yixin, on the other hand, pretended to be angry and lectured her, with exaggerated expressions and humorous language.
The students in the audience laughed so hard they were doubled over, some even slapping the table.
Teacher Zhang was also amused and couldn't stop laughing; her laughter echoed in the classroom.
After the skit ended, Lin Xiao led the small choir forward again. This time, they sang exceptionally well, their voices melodious and graceful, as if expressing their respect and gratitude for their teacher. Teacher Zhang sat in her chair, her eyes slightly closed, immersed in the beautiful singing, her face full of happiness.
After the song, the students gathered around Teacher Zhang, sharing their innermost thoughts that they were usually too shy to say at school.
“Teacher Zhang, I was feeling down after failing the exam that time, and you gave me private tutoring and encouragement. I’ve always remembered that.”
"Teacher Zhang, the way you cheered me on at the sports meet filled me with strength, which is why I achieved good results that time."
Teacher Zhang listened attentively, nodding occasionally in response. She gently stroked the students' heads and said, "You are all my precious children. Seeing you grow and improve makes me happier than anything else. This is the best Teacher's Day gift I've ever received, not because of the exquisite gifts themselves, but because of your heartfelt wishes and love."
Then, Ms. Zhang stood up, walked to the blackboard, picked up the chalk and wrote a line: "Teacher-student bond is deep, let's move towards the future together." Turning around, she looked at the students with a firm yet gentle gaze and said: "Students, let's carry this bond and work hard together in the days to come to create more beautiful memories."
The students nodded, their eyes filled with anticipation and confidence for the future. Sunlight streamed into the classroom, bathing everyone in a warm and beautiful scene. This Teacher's Day surprise party will forever be etched in their hearts.
