Editor's note
Famous officials in the late Qing Dynasty Zeng Guofan once said: A gentleman has three joys - reading, nourishing people, and working hard before resting. One word reveals the importance of "labor" in correcting personal character and honing personal will.
Use "work" to work hard and promote development with "movement". In order to further implement the "morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor" education policy, Shouguang Bohai New City Experimental School has established a "farming and reading classroom" on campus to guide students to go into nature and get closer to labor, so as to deepen their cultivation and improve students' hands-on practice ability and appreciate the value of labor through harvest.

Deep cultivation diary:
Winter sweet potato harvest
"One hard work, one harvest." The two are inseparable from the two. Only when we work hard and sweat can we harvest endless sweetness. Now please follow my perspective and see how our students harvest sweet potatoes in the first winter season!

Sow hope
Farming and reading the four seasons and wandering around time. In our farming and reading classroom, there are scenery all seasons, and there are vegetables every season. But to this day, we have never planted sweet potatoes in our farming and reading classroom! Therefore, when I saw Vice Principal Yu Youli delivering sweet potato seedlings in the insulated box to the class, my child and I were full of novelty, and the determination to explore the "way to cultivate sweet potatoes" faintly rose in my heart.


Seedlings
Indoor seedlings, outdoor planting. After two months of watering, fertilization and weeding, the children watched the growing and growing sweet potato vines, and their joy became increasingly full. A question gradually arose: the sweet potato vines are getting thicker and thicker, but where are the sweet potatoes?








Planting
Hot sweat on the harvest land
Where is the sweet potato? The question
is quickly answered. When the "melons ripen and the stems fall", the harvest came, President Zhang Huaguo and Vice President Yu Youli led us to the farming and reading class and harvested a garden of sweet sweet potatoes.
Before digging sweet potatoes, the teacher first leads the children to understand the process of digging sweet potatoes: the teachers first harvest and move the sweet potatoes from the surface, and then use a shovel to dig out the sweet potatoes buried deep underground, and finally the children are responsible for picking them up.


Finally, it is time to "digging" sweet potatoes. The children stood in the sweet potato field, exerting all their strength, and pulled them out with all their strength, and pieces of sweet potatoes broke out from the ground! They carefully held their labor fruits - sweet potatoes, and put them aside as if they were unearthed cultural relics.
"Wow, what a big bunch of sweet potatoes!"
"One, two, three...ah, you see, there are so many sweet potatoes here!"
The children looked at the more and more sweet potatoes they dig, and the pride of labor emerged in their hearts. The more they dig, the more excited they become. The more they dig, the more excited they become. Their hands kept waving, and they didn't even bother to wipe their sweat. They excitedly shared the joy of harvest with their companions and teachers!







Share the joy of fruits
Back to the class, Teacher Dou Dandan and I distributed the harvested sweet potatoes to the children. Looking at the happy smiling faces of the children when they took the sweet potato with both hands, I was also happy!







Thank you heart
Kids
The children decided to share them with the cleaning aunts who cleaned us with the fruits they had harvested, and thank them for their silent hard work.
The little sweet potato carries the children's gratitude and sends the warmest blessings of winter to the cleaning aunts.

Enjoy food
On the weekend, the children took sweet potatoes home and made them into delicious food. Seeing the children happily eating the fruits of their labor, I felt particularly sweet in my heart.

"The sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." Without hard work, how can you have the joy of reward? How can you see the rainbow without wind and rain?

There are no results in the world that are obtained without work, and there is no accidental or lucky success. We have made efforts, so we have no regrets; we have gained benefits, so we are happy and encouraged; we firmly believe in the life philosophy of "one part of hard work, and one part of harvest".
A farmer worked hard in spring to cultivate, sow, irrigate, fertilize and weed. Although he did not ask God for a good harvest, he would definitely get something in autumn. The same is true for success. You need to cultivate it very seriously. I hope that students can understand it from practice, understand the true meaning of life, and continue to sail!
