榜样人物 Aunt Li is our school cleaner. She has kept the campus（校园）clean for 25 years. Tomorrow she will retire（退休）, so she talks about her work stories with the new cleaner on her last working day.
16 She still remembers a snowy morning five years ago. She worked at 5 a.m. to clear the road. When she rubbed（揉搓）her frozen hands and felt tired, a group of students came over with brooms（扫帚）. “Aunt Li, let us help you!” They swept the snow together with her. Their small hands and warm words made her forget the cold.
17 The boy got lost in the hallway last year. He cried sadly. Aunt Li stayed with him, bought him candies and helped him find his teacher. Later, the boy drew a “smiling sun” and gave it to her. 18
Some people think cleaning is tiring and not great. 19 “I’ve seen students grow up and received so much kindness,” she says. “Every clean classroom and road makes me feel useful. It gives me a great sense of achievement.”
Aunt Li is proud of her work. 20
She tells the new cleaner, “Our work makes the school a nice home. Keep it up, and you’ll find joy in it too.”
