"The fruits of labor are the most beautiful"
Narrator: Wu Ruoxi, a student from Class 7, Grade 4, Shisun Street Primary School (New District), Chengdu, Sichuan Province
There is a green grassland in the plum garden of our school, which was paved with my classmates.
The teacher encouraged us to design the campus beautification plan by ourselves.
I formed a group with a few classmates and started a competition of turf-laying schemes.
The first step is to measure on the spot and obtain data.
We combined the knowledge in the math class and used the measuring tape lent to us by the teacher to measure the lawn 7.2 meters long and 6.6 meters wide, and calculated that the area excluding the middle bricks was about 45 square meters.
The next step is to clean the ground and loosen the soil.
This process is still very hard, especially when the hoe is used to loosen the soil, because the soil is a bit hard, the students have ground bubbles on their hands.
But after the labor, looking at the soft soil, we felt a sense of accomplishment.
Next, we checked the types and prices of turf online, and selected the most cost-effective turf.
After the teacher bought the turf, we did it ourselves and laid it out piece by piece.
This grassland is my favorite place in school, because here, we sweat, and the fruits of our labor are the most beautiful!
