Episode 20

Huaping Girls' High School quickly became popular due to its outstanding performance. As the enrollment season for the new school year approached, parents came in droves. The school quickly selected 150 girls based on their academic performance and overall quality.However, at this moment, a girl named Xin Xin suddenly fainted while queuing outside the school, which attracted the attention of everyone, including Zhang Guimei.

Zhang Guimei quickly placed Xin Xin in the classroom to rest and prepared meals.Xin Xin was grateful, wolfed down the food, and firmly expressed her desire to enroll in school.At first, Zhang Guimei was worried. After all, the quota was already full, but the excellent transcript presented by Xin Xin - one of the top 50 in the province - was undoubtedly a bright academic star, enough to attract the attention of any key high school and possibly obtain funding..However, she firmly chose Huaping Girls' High School.

In the office, the teachers all praised Xin Xin as a "Wenquxing", but then they learned about the complexity of her family background - her mother accidentally killed her husband because of his alcoholism and domestic violence. The case once caused a sensation.Faced with this sudden news, everyone was shocked.

Zhang Guimei showed firm determination. She decided to accept Xin Xin. Not only did she prepare daily necessities and study materials for her, but she also vowed to heal her spiritual trauma, guide teachers and students in the school to eliminate prejudice, and jointly create an inclusive and non-discriminatory learning environment.The environment vowed to rewrite Xin Xin's life trajectory.

In the dormitory, the girls kept a respectful distance from Xin Xin, and Xin Xin herself seemed withdrawn and found it difficult to integrate into the group.Girls from different backgrounds gather here, including Luo Yiyi from a children's home and Liu Xiying's sister Liu Xiyan. Their futures are intertwined with the upcoming friendships in the dormitory.

At the same time, Zhang Guimei won the title of Outstanding Educator in the Province and will go to Kunming to receive the award on behalf of Huaping County.At first she declined due to her busy school schedule, but after learning that the bonus was substantial, she readily accepted it and planned to use the bonus to surprise the students.

After returning from the commendation, Zhang Guimei not only brought dumplings to Zhao Xiaolei, but also gathered with Gu Yu, Liu Xiying and other children to share their future plans.However, Guyu's future direction has not been clear yet, which makes Zhang Guimei quite anxious.She comforted everyone with the school's achievements, but also revealed her worries about the excess number of students.

In order to let the students feel the warmth of the big city, Zhang Guimei used part of the bonus to buy milk tea for all the girls in the school.During the distribution, she paid special attention to Xin Xin's loneliness and quietly told Luo Yiyi to take more care of him.

On the other side, Chen Sihai resigned due to family reasons. This is his eighth year of service at Huaping Girls' High School.Although Zhang Guimei tried to stay many times, she knew that he had made up his mind and could only reluctantly agree.On the occasion of parting, Zhang Guimei expressed her deep feelings with a song - "Send Off to Comrades in Arms", while Chen Sihai sang along with the song on the top of the mountain. The two expressed their reluctance in different ways.

In the dormitory, the girls shared family stories, and Xin Xin's academic demeanor won everyone's admiration.The next day, Zhang Guimei urged Chen Sihai to complete the handover in a stern manner, but in fact, she had mixed feelings in her heart.Watching Chen Sihai's leaving figure, she couldn't hide her heartache, and the heartwarming scene of Wei Tingyun being pregnant and insisting on teaching added a touch of brightness to students' lives.Despite the challenges she faced, Zhang Guimei had high hopes for the new teachers, especially when she discovered that one of the new teachers was Gu Yu.
