Chapter 32: Teacher's Day (2)

Mr. Rusli ate another piece of chicken and stopped eating it.

"Eat again, Mr. Rusli, why do you not eat it again? Don't just watch me eat it." Handi said faintly while chewing on a piece of chicken meat.

"I'm already full, I'm old, the stomach can't hold a lot of food and it's hard to digest." Mr. Rusli shook his head again and again, then got up to make a sweet tea, and said while cooking hot water, "I'm old, I'm old, I couldn't eat much and still had the most appetizing glass of sweet tea for me, vegetables, and a bowl of porridge. "

Mr. Rusli didn't eat it anymore, and Handi suddenly felt bad eating it alone.

Handi put the lunch box in front of Nurul: "Come on Nurul, you eat too."

Nurul smiled with a smile on his cheek: "Teacher, I will not eat, I have eaten at home and this I give you and Mr. Rusli half because me and my mother still have the other half."

"Oh." Handi took another piece and put it in her mouth, but no matter how she chewed, she did not feel the pleasure of the fragrance she had just eaten at first.

"Hurry up Teacher, because the classmates will be here soon!" Burult urged Handi.

"Oh-oh okay." Handi looked towards the chicken meat in the lunchbox, and then shouted: "Sir Rusli, you can eat a few more pieces, I can't spend it myself."

Mr. Rusli poked his head out of the next room: "Come, look at you like that. You're like a monkey, not to mention half this chicken, even a cow you can eat."

"Um.. no, I really do.." Handi kept giving humbly.

"Stop talking nonsense, eat fast then come and drink a cup of sweet tea after eating." Mr. Rusli pulled his head to continue making his tea.

"Ugh."

Handi shook his head helplessly, but he knew instead that Mr. Rusli did not like to eat or did not want to eat, he only allowed himself to be full. It's like a parent letting their child eat the fullest, a parent always gives good food to their child, and then says they don't like good food.

Desperate by the circumstances, Handi finished this meal quickly and finally Handi managed to finish it off.

"Okay, Teacher, give me back the lunchbox." Nurul said happily as Handi finished the chicken meat.

"Wait."

Handi poured water into the lunchbox and shuffled it and lifted it up and drank it into his mouth, so that a drop of oil in the lunchbox was not wasted. It was then cleaned and then returned to Nurul.

"Teacher, I don't need to wash it because I can wash it after I get home." Nurul said after taking the lunchbox.

"How can this be done? It's rude not to clean the lunchbox after eating." Handi smiled.

"Alright, Master, I'll go to class to learn homework first." Nurul packed the lunchbox into a bag and walked out.

Seeing Nurul walk into the classroom and his back disappear, Handi quickly burped, "hiccup ~", comfortable.

"Teacher, master! Teacher Han, Mr. Rusli!"

Handi and Mr. Rusli were drinking a cup of sweet tea and they heard the cries of the children coming from outside the door.

Two people walked out of the room with their bowls one by one.

"Look, Teacher! Happy Teacher's Day, some of us made you a gift!"

Caca took the two younger girls Anna and Anggi and said happily, and behind them was Adam and Nizar who brought the gifts they had made.

"gasps..."

Seeing the gifts of the five, Handi could not help but spit out a mouthful of tea water, and Mr. Rusli choked and coughed.

It turns out that some children thought of giving a Teacher's Day gift to Handi and Mr. Rusli this year on two days ago. Caca invited several class children from their village to discuss together. Due to Master Han's arrival, they gave gifts this year. It should be different from previous years, and be bigger and more luxurious. So the last five people decided to use various wildflowers on the mountain to make a wreath for Master Han and Pak Rusli. The wreath was filled with autumn fragrance and vitality, as well as to praise the two teachers like village heroes.

The children's minds were good, but the wreath was slightly larger.

Therefore, in the eyes of Handi and Mr. Rusli, these children did not bring any bouquets at all, but intended to sell flowers.

"Teacher, this is for you! Thank you for teaching us!"

When Caca opened his mouth, Adam and Nizar hurriedly carried the wreath and walked up. The most embarrassing thing is that they almost fell down while walking to Handi and Mr. Rusli.

Handi suddenly wanted to laugh, and was numb by the children's show. Looking at Mr. Rusli again, his old face was speechless as well.

"What's? Teacher Han, Mr Rusli, don't you like it?"

Caca laughed as Handi and Mr. Rusli did not intend to take over the wreath, and asked curiously and confusedly. He felt the two teachers seemed to dislike this carefully prepared gift, and he was a little nervous.

Handi touched the back of his head, then coughed twice and said, "Caca. Master has really received your gift. Thank you very much for your gift, but this gift is too big, so the teacher has thought of an idea, one idea is, can you disassemble it and turn it into some small bouquets. It's too big and uncomfortable, isn't it? "

Handi looked at the large wreath, then looked at the two teachers again, and said sadly: "But, Master, it is very difficult for us to make such a large wreath. It wouldn't look good if it was small. "

"Oh," Handi sighed, thinking that she had died once, and she knew many taboo things in her past that people believed in, so he reached out and took the bouquet, right after thinking about it, he still said, "This gift was received by the teacher today. Yes, but you may not do this in the future.just allow it this time, and you should not give a gift like this to anyone in the future.

Children are young, have little experience, and do not understand many customs and taboos, so they may do some taboo things. For example, whenever a child says something wrong and breaks a taboo, some superstitious parents will rush to say "Let's hope my child isn't exposed to something bad." There is such a description in "Home" that is believed.

"There is a superstition that has long been believed by people in this country is like knocking on the knees will cause barrenness and others."

What Caca is doing today is a very taboo subject, that is sending a large bouquet of flowers that are sometimes sent when there are mourners fortunately they met with Handi and Mr. Rusli who are more knowledgeable. If they send this gift to some families who think more traditionally these children may be immediately criticized or scolded.

After all, Handi as a teacher, felt obliged to remind some children not to make similar mistakes again.

"Why?"Andi asked stupidly.

"Since this type of gift is not called a floral decoration, it is called a wreath, and not for a living person."

Handi was thinking about how to answer the children, but Mr. Rusli at the side said straightforwardly.

"what!"

Some kids are dumbfounded.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, we were wrong." Caca apologized immediately.

"No problem."

Handi smiled and unpacked the large wreath, then turned it into a small wreath, and said happily, "Look, it's okay now, right?"

"Is this a gift for the living now?" Andi asked fearfully.

"Of course!" Handi put a wreath on her head, "Look, how beautiful it is."

Then he put it on Mr. Rusli's head easily because Mr. Rusli, who was more than half a hundred years old, looked very cute after wearing a bright little wreath and made the children laugh.

"I want to, me too!"

The children began to pick up the bouquets in Handi's hands, and for a while, the atmosphere became active again.
