Chapter 66 The Little Things About Joining the League
In the vibrant and joyful campus, sunlight, like a mischievous little elf, danced on the classroom windowsill. Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin, best friends, sat in the classroom, their eyes sparkling with curiosity about the unknown.
Just then, the homeroom teacher, Ms. Zhang, walked briskly into the classroom, her face bearing her signature kind smile, but her eyes held a hint of mystery. "Li Shiqing, Liu Yixin, come to my office for a moment." Ms. Zhang's voice was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples of curiosity in the classroom.
Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes. Like two obedient little rabbits, they hopped and skipped behind Teacher Zhang to the office.
In that bright office filled with the aroma of books, the homeroom teacher, Ms. Zhang, sat at her desk with a kind and expectant smile on her face, looking at Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin standing in front of her.
Teacher Zhang broke the silence first, her voice gentle yet infectious: "Li Shiqing, Liu Yixin, the reason I called you two to my office today is because I discovered some very valuable qualities in you."
Li Shiqing tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of doubt and curiosity, looking like an innocent little deer: "Teacher Zhang, what is it?"
Teacher Zhang stood up with a smile, walked to the window, put her hands behind her back, as if she was thinking about how to express herself better: "Do you know? In our class, you are always at the forefront of every group activity, actively offering suggestions. Last time, for the class's art performance, you two went everywhere to find materials and organize the students to rehearse. I saw your enthusiasm and seriousness."
Liu Yixin scratched her head a little shyly: "Teacher, we just want the event to be a success and for everyone to be happy."
“Yes, that’s a very important team spirit and sense of responsibility.” Teacher Zhang turned around and looked at them. “Moreover, you are all very hardworking in your studies and never give up easily when you encounter difficulties. This perseverance is also very valuable.”
Li Shiqing's eyes lit up: "Thank you for the praise, teacher. We will continue to work hard."
Teacher Zhang nodded, then changed the subject: "Right now, the school's Youth League is recruiting outstanding students. After thinking it over, I think the two of you are the perfect candidates."
Liu Yixin's eyes widened in surprise: "Youth League? Teacher, what specific activities does the Youth League do?"
Teacher Zhang walked back to her desk, sat down, and patiently explained, "The activities of the Youth League are very diverse. For example, we regularly visit orphanages in the surrounding area to bring warmth and joy to the children, play games with them, tell them stories, and let them feel the care of society; we also go to impoverished mountainous areas to donate books and school supplies to the children there, helping them broaden their horizons. At school, we also organize various knowledge competitions and cultural exchange activities to promote mutual learning and progress among students."
Li Shiqing frowned and said with some worry, "Teacher, these activities sound great, but we've never done them before. What if we don't do them well?"
Teacher Zhang waved her hand and encouraged them, "No, kids. Nobody knows everything from the start. In the Youth League, there are many experienced seniors who will guide you and teach you how to do things. Besides, your enthusiasm and potential are your greatest advantages."
Liu Yixin then asked, "Teacher, what special benefits does joining the Youth League bring to us?"
Teacher Zhang smiled and replied, “There are many benefits. First, it will greatly improve your organizational and communication skills, as you will be dealing with different people and coordinating various matters. Second, in the process of helping others, you will gain a great sense of accomplishment and happiness, and you will also appreciate your life more. Furthermore, this will have an immeasurable impact on your future personal development, both in terms of moral character and social experience.”
Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin exchanged a glance, and each saw a hint of attraction in the other's eyes.
Li Shiqing spoke first: "Teacher, this sounds really good, we really want to join."
Liu Yixin nodded in agreement: "Yes, teacher, we are willing to try and strive to become outstanding members of the Youth League."
Teacher Zhang smiled with satisfaction: "Good, I believe you will all shine in the Youth League. Next, go back and write an application to join the League, and express your determination and thoughts clearly."
After leaving the office, Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin excitedly whispered to each other, as if they could already see themselves active in the youth group, and were full of hope as they embarked on a new journey.
The gentle glow of the setting sun spilled onto the road home. Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin walked side by side, their faces beaming with barely suppressed excitement and anticipation.
As soon as I pushed open the door, the familiar aroma of food wafted out. Li Yuan was bustling about in the kitchen, while Liu Xuan sat in the living room reading the newspaper. Hearing the door open, his younger brother, Liu Qicheng, burst out of his room like a little cannonball.
"Sisters, you're back!" Liu Qicheng shouted joyfully.
Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin smiled as they changed their shoes and entered the living room. Li Shiqing cleared her throat and said loudly, "Dad, Mom, we have something important to tell you."
Li Yuan, who was in the kitchen, poked her head out, her hands still wet with water droplets from washing vegetables. "What's wrong, kids? Why are you so serious?"
Unable to contain her excitement, Liu Yixin blurted out, "Mom, we were recommended by our teacher to join the Youth League today!"
Liu Xuan put down his newspaper, adjusted his glasses, and gave a slightly approving smile. "Oh? That's a good thing. The Youth League is a great place to train people."
Li Yuan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my darlings, being able to join the Youth League means you've done very well at school."
Li Shiqing jumped up excitedly, "When we were in the office, the teacher praised us for our team spirit and sense of responsibility, and said that we were particularly active in class activities."
Liu Yixin continued, "The teacher also told us about many interesting activities of the Youth League, such as visiting children in orphanages, donating supplies to impoverished mountainous areas, and holding various knowledge competitions and cultural exchange activities at school."
At this moment, Liu Qicheng, who had been listening quietly, ran to the older sisters, took their hands, looked up at them, and said, "Sisters, I support you! You will definitely be the best members of the youth group!"
Li Shiqing squatted down and patted her younger brother's head. "Thank you, Xiao Qicheng. With your support, the older sisters are even more motivated."
Liu Yixin smiled and said, "Yes, we will definitely work hard. But, Mom, we are a little worried that we won't do well."
Li Yuan walked over and gently patted their shoulders. "Everyone goes through a learning process at the beginning. As long as you put your heart into it and participate actively, you'll definitely be fine. In addition, you can learn a lot and make many new friends in the process."
Liu Xuan also encouraged them, saying, "That's right, this is also an opportunity for growth. You can learn how to organize activities and how to communicate and cooperate with others, which will be very helpful for your future lives."
Li Shiqing nodded firmly, "Yes, we understand, Dad. We will try our best to overcome the difficulties."
Liu Yixin's eyes lit up, "Maybe in the future we can take our younger brother to participate in some youth group charity activities, so he can also experience the joy of helping others."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qicheng immediately clapped his hands and cheered, "Great! I want to do good deeds with my sisters!"
The family sat around the dining table, their laughter filling the air. Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin recounted in detail to their parents the experiences their teacher had shared with the Youth League, while their parents offered constant encouragement and support. In this warm atmosphere, Li Shiqing and Liu Yixin were filled with anticipation for their future life in the Youth League. They knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would have the warm and unwavering support of their family behind them.
