Sister Hong sized her up, and seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, she said to Jiang Feifei, "This is easy. After lunch, we'll distribute fruit. We'll switch, and you can go to their class."
"Are the fruits distributed in the classroom?" Jiang Feifei inquired.
This was exactly the opportunity she needed.
Jiang Feifei feigned concern and asked, "Is that okay? Will it cause you any trouble?"
"When you distribute the fruit, you need to be attentive, ensure each child gets the same amount, and also make sure the children are not allergic to the fruit being distributed," Sister Hong advised. "All of this is in the employee handbook. Take some time to memorize its contents, as you'll be tested on it."
"Alright, thank you, Sister Hong."
"You're welcome. We're colleagues, after all. Helping each other is what we should do."
After the polite exchange, lunch was also finished.
Distributing the fruit was simple. The fruits had already been washed clean and placed in the fruit baskets allocated to each class. The life teachers only needed to place the fruit baskets on a cart, bring them to the classrooms, and hand out the fruits to each student.
After switching classes with Sister Hong, Jiang Feifei pushed the fruit cart to the classroom where Yuze and the others were.
The three children were huddled together, talking. Qianqian had a frown on her face, looking wronged, as if something unhappy had happened.
One cannot be unlucky forever; luck was bound to favor her.
Pushing the cart, she entered the classroom and stood by the podium.
"Students, please quiet down and return to your seats. Sit properly!" the teacher on the podium maintained order.
The students were young, yet they followed the teacher's instructions exceptionally well. After coaxing Qianqian for a few moments, Xiaoran and Yuze returned to their seats. Though they were no longer beside her, their gazes never left her.
Qianqian, with teary eyes, looked at Jiang Feifei, who was walking towards her.
"Why is such a beautiful little princess crying?" Jiang Feifei stopped beside Qianqian, her voice modulated to a gentle, alluring tone.
For some reason, Qianqian was very wary of her. Shifting her stool, Qianqian turned to Yuze and Xiaoran for help.
"Teacher, aren't you distributing the fruit?" Xiaoran stood up and asked.
The teacher on the podium heard Xiaoran's voice and looked up, seeing the life teacher standing in front of Qianqian and not distributing fruits to the students.
The teacher, with a look of confusion, descended from the podium and approached Jiang Feifei. "Are you the new life teacher?"
Previously, Sister Hong had always been responsible for this class. The teacher didn't need to worry while on the podium; Sister Hong could take excellent care of every student. It was precisely for these reasons that the teacher hadn't noticed the change in personnel earlier.
Jiang Feifei pushed her mask up slightly and replied in a changed voice, "Yes, Sister Hong asked me to take charge of this class."
"Why isn't Sister Hong in charge anymore?" the teacher asked curiously.
With Sister Hong present, the teacher could relax and be a bit lazy. Now that there was a new person, the teacher had to keep a close eye.
Jiang Feifei perceived the teacher's intent. While her heart was filled with aversion towards the teacher, she outwardly replied congenially, "Sister Hong believes I can lead this class independently, so she handed it over to me. Do you have any issues with me? Or would you like Sister Hong to come and explain the reason to you?"
For distributing fruit, it wasn't necessary to call someone over. The teacher shook her head and said, "No need. You can continue with your work."
After speaking, the teacher returned to the podium.
However, she no longer looked down to do other things. Instead, she observed Jiang Feifei's ability to work.
It didn't matter if she was being watched; Jiang Feifei didn't pay the teacher on the podium any mind. She proceeded according to the seating arrangement, placing the washed fruits on each student's desk. When she reached Yuze, her hand reached outside the fruit basket.
It was the same as the fruits in the basket, only placed separately outside the basket. Xiaoran's and Qianqian's fruits were the same, taken from outside the basket.
