In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of the primary school. Early in the morning, after having breakfast, the kids each carried a small cloth bag and walked towards the primary school at the end of the village.

As one of the teachers of the elementary school, Song Ning naturally had to be present.

In addition to Song Ning, Hang Shuheng, the head of the village, the old clan leader, and some elders who had more say in the village were all present.

After all, this is a school built with the joint efforts of the entire village, and it is highly valued by the elders. They all worried a lot about it when the school was under construction. Now that the day of official opening has finally arrived, everyone wants to be there to witness it.

Today is the first day of school in the elementary school. As required, every child must be accompanied by an adult from the family to report for school. At the same time, the teacher in the school also has some precautions to explain to the adults.

After all the students arrived, they were required to line up in the open space in the front yard of the school.

The children who have always been used to running wild in the village would become noisy, undisciplined and difficult to discipline when they get together in groups.

At first, the children gathered together. Except for Yangyang and a few others in the front row, and the two children from Master Liu's family, the rest of the children did not line up consciously. They even pushed and shoved and chased each other.

The head of the village shouted many times to try to quiet the children, but it was of no use. The children continued to play their own games, as if they had no effect on each other.

Master Liu looked at the noisy group of children below and suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his head. It seemed that the future teaching path was full of endless challenges. He felt that he had a long way to go!

"Quiet, quiet, line up properly." The headman shouted until his throat was about to smoke, but it was of no use.

Hang Shuheng found a bronze drum from somewhere and struck it three times. The children, who had been noisy just now, were suddenly attracted by the loud noise and became quiet immediately.

While the children were quiet, Hang Shuheng handed a simple loudspeaker to the head of the village, "Uncle, there are too many people and the noise is too loud. Use this and speak into this small opening."

The village head took the thing with some confusion, turned it over and over in his hand, but still couldn't figure out what it was used for.

Although he was confused, he still did as Hang Shuheng said. He put the small mouth of the loudspeaker to his mouth and shouted to the children below who were starting to make some noise again.

"Quiet, quiet, be quiet..." When he shouted this, not only the head of the village, but also the people around him were startled. They all looked at him, as if wondering why his voice suddenly became so loud.

The village head was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and saw that everyone was looking at him. He pointed innocently at the loudspeaker in his hand, implying that the loud noise just now was caused by this thing.

He didn't understand how this thing could amplify the volume when speaking into it, but that didn't stop him from being curious.

He cleared his throat, and without using a loudspeaker, he yelled at the kids normally, and the sound was indeed easily drowned out.

Then, he shouted into the loudspeaker twice again. This time, the sound was much amplified than the normal sound. This thing was so fun.

But even though they were having fun, the village head still had business to do. He held a loudspeaker and said to the children, "Stand in line quietly. Anyone who dares to make noise will be spanked. Do you see the ruler hanging on the door? It is used to punish disobedient students."

He pointed to the place where the ruler was hung and motioned the children to look. When the children saw the ruler, it was so thick and long that they couldn't help but feel the skin on their buttocks tighten.

In order to protect their little butts, the children were quite cooperative and, under the leadership of Mudun, Liu Yi and others, they slowly formed a line.

After the children stood quietly, the village head began to speak. After his opening remarks, he pointed to the three teachers standing together on one side and introduced them.

"These three are the teachers of our elementary school, Master Liu, Master Song, and Master Chai. From now on, all matters of the elementary school, big or small, will be decided by these three teachers."

After the head of the village finished speaking, he motioned to the three teachers to say a few words and consciously handed over the loudspeaker in his hand.

Master Liu greeted the children with a serious face, said a few simple words and then handed the loudspeaker to Song Ning who was standing beside him.

With a smile on his face, Song Ning held up a megaphone and said to the children: "Children, I am very glad that I can be your teacher. From now on, I will be responsible for teaching you arithmetic and practical courses in life. From now on, you can call me Master Song."

After that, she added: "Master Liu will be responsible for teaching you reading, writing and calligraphy, and this Master Chai will temporarily take over the position of Master Wu in our school and be responsible for teaching you some martial arts."

Song Ning and Master Liu had already discussed who would be responsible for teaching which aspects of knowledge and had made the division of tasks.

"The curriculum of our elementary school is three classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon. Each class lasts for three quarters of an hour. After each class, there is half an hour of free time. The cycle is seven days, with five days of classes and two days of rest..."

Song Ning spoke a lot in a very eloquent manner. Whether the children could understand her or not was not important for the time being. She spoke mainly to the adults who accompanied the children, so that those adults could understand what the children were learning in the elementary school every day.

The adults might not understand it right away, but after listening to her talk, they felt that it must be a good idea, so they could feel at ease sending their children to her.

After listing some of the rules of the elementary school one by one for everyone to hear, Song Ning began to issue an order to expel the guests, "Everyone has already known the rules of our elementary school that clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. Now everyone can go about their own business, and the children will also start their classes."

In fact, those adults didn’t really want to leave. It was their children’s first day in school, and they really wanted to stay and watch their children study. It must be so rare.

But Song Ning said again that if everyone crowded here and made a lot of noise, it would only affect the children's learning state and would be of no use at all.

Therefore, no matter how reluctant we were, we all had to leave.

After all the strangers had left, Song Ning and Master Liu led the children into the classroom and said to them, "Okay, children, let's start the class now. The first lesson we will have today is to remember your own name."
