Unconsciously, I have been in the countryside for a week, and when I first came, I really counted the days and lived the days. Now I think it's good to get used to it. I still don't want to get up in the morning, and I yawn when I go down the stairs. After breakfast together to go to the social work station, the sprinkler truck has just driven, so there is no dust on the road, feel the surrounding air is not bad!
In the morning it was business as usual, and while they were practicing chorus, I was making clothes in the small room on the stage. Make clothes, slow work out of the fine work. Although the main materials used are wrinkled paper and sponge paper, the style is still very good. Those produced by my hand are very fulfilling. When the chorus was over, I went to stare at the rehearsal of the catwalk. Everything went smoothly, and later the captain arranged the two boys in the martial arts class to the catwalk class. So the later rehearsal was a bit chaotic, after all, there were two more newcomers, and the progress had not kept up. So I didn't have to do clothes when it was time to walk the catwalk.
In the afternoon, he and the deputy captain went to the city to rent the host dress, and by the way, they bought the materials that were still missing to make clothes and the candy as a reward. It was a bit cool to go out for a ride, and the wind was cool. I haven't been back to Gaozhou city for a long time, and some roads are not recognized, but the familiar taste is still in memory. After returning, I encountered a small trouble in the handicraft class, so I assisted the handicraft class teacher a little. Later, I learned that other teachers had gone to the second floor to do "youth study", so there was no teacher below the first floor to assist in the class.
The craft class is followed by a painting class! It was the last lesson, so a skilled teacher was asked to teach them a lesson on acrylic painting. Everyone was super enthusiastic in the class and chased after the painting teacher to ask a lot of questions, so the classroom atmosphere was super awesome and very comfortable! Later, we distributed paper and paint to the students, and they all painted it happily, which I think is very good. Many of today's children are addicted to electronic products or video games, etc., and it is rare that they are willing to quietly use a paintbrush to paint a white paper in a small classroom. Although their paintings are strange, they can still cultivate some sense of painting. This is also a very meaningful thing, which can take them to feel a different world!
I had a video call with my friends in the afternoon and then went back to making clothes. I feel like I've been obsessed with making clothes by hand for the last two days, and it's really a lot of fun! Looking at the pile of materials that can't be beaten by eight rods, and then looking at the finished product next to it, it is really beyond expectations! The sunset is very beautiful, there are many children playing on the basketball court, it feels like this side is not like the suburbs, everyone is so leisurely. A lot of grandmothers come here with their little grandchildren for a walk, which is really leisurely!
