Features: Before the farewell of the teachers' day celebration, there was a scene that the students would never forget. When it was time for the glasses teacher to perform, he said he would give everyone a gift. Everyone eagerly guessed what the glasses teacher's gift was, but the glasses teacher deliberately kept it a secret. Not only did he keep it a secret, but he also made a gentleman's agreement with everyone. The glasses teacher said he hoped everyone would like his gift, not just like it, but also cherish it, and absolutely not to show any disdain. In the world, fools love gifts, so everyone loudly promised to like and cherish the gift the glasses teacher gave. Only then did the glasses teacher reveal the mystery. The gift he wanted to give to the whole class turned out to be twins. Huang Xiaolei and a few others, though they knew in advance that the glasses teacher planned to help the twins, never imagined he would help them in this way. The glasses teacher said, "Starting today, Huaduo duo and Huafeifei will be the new members of our Class 5 (2). Let's welcome them to our class with warm applause!" The whole class only had Zhang Baizhi clap twice. Seeing that no one else was clapping, Zhang Baizhi stopped clapping too. The glasses teacher was not angry at all and even smiled, "Don't forget, we had a gentleman's agreement earlier. A gentleman's word is hard to follow!" After the glasses teacher finished speaking, the twins made their statements. Huaduo duo said, "We used to do a lot of bad things, and no one liked us. Now, Teacher Liu has given us a chance to become one of you. Please believe us, we can also bring honor to you and do good things!" Huafeifei said, "We often broke the rules, and no teacher liked us. Only Teacher Liu not only believed we could study hard but also agreed to transfer us to your class. When Teacher Liu told us this decision at noon, we were truly moved! With Teacher Liu's guidance and the help of our classmates, Zhang Baizhi learned to recognize characters and write with his left hand. Please believe us, we will definitely study hard!" The twins spoke sincerely, and the hearts of many classmates were moved. After Huafeifei finished speaking, the principal took the floor and said, "The current Class 5 (2) is an advanced class that strives for progress and is good at creating miracles. To give full play to the exemplary role of the advanced class, the school has decided to form a friendship class between Class 5 (2) and Class 5 (3). At the same time, Huaduo duo and Huafeifei will be formally transferred to your class. I hope you can help Huaduo duo and Huafeifei as you helped Zhang Baizhi. I believe that with your help, Huaduo duo and Huafeifei will definitely bring new honor to Class 5 (2)." Teacher Zhang couldn't help but speak too. She said, "As your former homeroom teacher, your changes today prove what Teacher Liu said—you are all gold! In the past, I lacked patience with some of you, and I will definitely improve in my work. Now that Huaduo duo and Huafeifei have become members of your class, I believe that under your leadership, they will definitely become the friendship ambassadors of our two friendship classes!" One month later, during the election for class cadres, Huang Xiaolei received the most votes, while Hong Lili and Zhu Dashi tied for second place.
