"Teachers, you've all worked hard. Come down and have a drink!"

Headmaster Zhang's wife, Zhang Sao held two mugs in her hands as she led a tall and fair-skinned young lady with a thermos flask toward two young men.

Han Jia was in the middle of reinforcing the window frame. There was still a nail in between his lips when he waved his hand at the two approaching figures.

This year, the new volunteer, Cui Wei was standing on a ladder and holding onto the eaves as he watched the old teachers repair the roof. When he heard what Zhang Sao said and saw the mugs, he touched his head and said, "There's no need."

Contrariwise, it was Liu De Zhu who cheerfully answered. Without letting go of the small broom in his hand, he raced out of the classroom and impolitely took the mug and held it between his hands. Afraid of the hot water, he blew at it and took a drink.

When Han Jia came down, the water was already at the bottom of the mug. Liu De Zhu smiled and said, "I'm thirsty! Don't do what I just did, wait until it cools down before drinking it."

"It's fine." Han Jia said, not in the least concerned as he took the mug from that young lady. He did what Liu De Zhu did and blew into the mug and drank the water but nearly choked on it instead. Liu De Zhu couldn't help but to laugh as he patted his back, but Han Jia avoided it.

He doesn't know whether it stemmed from a kind of psychological compensation or not, but since he no longer used his body and life to do business, he would unconsciously want to show some masculinity. He wanted to learn how to talk and laugh loudly like others...he wanted to learn some crude manners from others-it was to the point that sometimes, even he himself, thought that it was too excessive. But he could never control it. It seemed, only when he did it was he able to prove that he was completely different from who he was before.

Soon, Liu De Zhu returned to cleaning the classroom. Zhang Sao also followed inside to help him. The tall young lady smiled at Han Jia, "Han Laoshi[1], I have good news to tell you."

Han Jia looked up at her.

The young lady was all smiles as she looked at him, "Zhang Sao saw that I had a long-term plan to stay so she helped me find a place to stay in the village."

Han Jia slightly frowned, "Big Reporter Yu, if I remember correctly, didn't you want to leave?"

"I know you don't welcome me, but if I just give up because I some difficulties, I wouldn't come to such a poor and inhospitable to do interviews." Reporter Yu's attitude was both gentle and warm, "Also, can you not call me a big reporter? Just call me Xiu Jun. You know, I just became an official reporter recently!"

Han Jia looked at her for a while, "I heard that before you graduated from university, you wrote several sensational articles. Weren't you already known as a star of the reporting world? Why are you being so modest? Say, is there a follow-up on the article about the migrant workers children? Don't you need to follow up on that?"
