Chapter 175 Almost overturned
On the first day of school, the campus, which had been deserted for two months, became lively again.
Today is the day when old students return to school for the new semester, and it is also the day when new students arrive for school.
It is very easy to distinguish between old and new students in junior high school. The easiest way is to look at their school uniforms. Those who are not wearing school uniforms are basically new students.
Or just looking at their height and appearance, those who look like elementary school students or those who look around like new recruits are all first-year junior high school students who have just registered for school.
Cailing, Zhiyi, and Asheng found it very interesting to watch. Think about how they were when they first entered school a year ago. They were exactly like this now.
I didn’t feel anything at that time, but now looking at this group of freshmen as a senior, I inexplicably feel that this group of people are particularly immature!
"Hahaha, why do all the new students who enrolled this year feel like elementary school students! They don't look like junior high school students at all!"
"Don't laugh. Maybe our seniors laughed at us like this back then."
"Really? Do we look that childish?"
"You guys are not that mature now."
"Why didn't you include yourself when you said that?"
"Am I immature?"
Then you can straighten your chest.
"yue~!"
Cai Ling and the other two rolled their eyes at the same time!
After parking their bicycles, the four of them walked towards the teaching building together.
"Fang Wei, did Teacher Wen say when he will be back?" Cai Ling and the other two asked curiously.
"Maybe in a week or two."
"Ah? That's been so long!"
Fang Wei naturally told a few of his friends that Teacher Wen would be asking for leave at the beginning of the school year, but apart from the four of them, the other students in the class probably didn't know about it yet.
Fang Wei did not elaborate on what had happened between Teacher Wen and his family before, but just said that his aunt was sick and hospitalized, and Teacher Wen needed to take some time off to accompany his mother.
Cai Ling knew that A Sheng naturally understood. Being sick and hospitalized and having surgery sounded like a big deal, so he would definitely have to take leave to accompany the patient.
But when I thought about not being able to see Teacher Wen when school started, I couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.
Probably apart from Wen Susu, there would be no other teacher who could make young boys and girls worry so much.
After a year of getting along, Class 2 has become the most united and friendly group in the school. It can be said that Wen Susu is the soul of Class 2. Any other teacher can be missing, but she cannot be missing.
Wen Susu called Fang Wei last night.
I heard her say on the phone that the issue between mother and daughter regarding teaching has been resolved. The mother has gradually changed her attitude and recognized her daughter's career. She also said that she would come to the island in person when she has time in the future.
Hearing this, Fang Wei was also happy for Wen Susu. For any dreamer, getting recognition and support from important people is definitely a happy thing.
[Hehe, yes! You have no idea how relaxed I feel now! It’s that feeling of having no worries, you know! My mom even urged me to come back to school early, saying that Aunt Wu is taking care of her here, and told me not to worry, and to go back early so as not to miss classes. I was so shocked! ]
[When will Sister Na come back?]
[Well, I'll wait until my mom is discharged from the hospital. It's a long way to go, and I don't go home often, so I should spend more time with her. Fang Wei, I'll leave the class matters to you. The school has arranged for Teacher Chen to be the temporary head teacher, and Teacher Liu from Class 1 will temporarily take over my Chinese class. You should communicate with them more, and call me if there is anything. I will come back as soon as possible! ]
[Don't worry, sister. Just stay home and spend more time with Auntie. This is a good opportunity to improve the relationship. Don't worry about the class. I'm sure everyone will understand.]
[Yeah! Then I feel relieved! My mom will probably be discharged from the hospital on the 8th or 9th, and I can go back then!]
[Okay, okay, remember to call me when you come back, and I’ll pick you up.]
[OK!]
Anyway, this is roughly what happened. Faced with Teacher Wen’s resignation crisis, we were able to achieve such a happy outcome for everyone. Taking a week or two off is not a problem at all.
……
The four of them went up the stairs while chatting.
I went up to the second floor and came to Class 2 of Grade 7 as usual.
They didn't pay attention at first, but when they saw a bunch of unfamiliar and young faces in the classroom, Fang Wei and the other three suddenly reacted and hurriedly went up another flight of stairs to the classroom of Class 2, Grade 2.
"Hahaha, I'm so scared! How come all the classmates in my class have changed?"
"It's no wonder you guys kept talking to me and I didn't react."
"Do you think that when Teacher Wen comes back from his leave, he will also go to the wrong classroom?"
"I think it's very possible."
Fang Wei thought for a while and nodded seriously.
Walking into the classroom of Class 2, Grade 2, Fang Wei and his three friends finally saw familiar faces.
The class was bustling with activity. The boys and girls hadn't seen each other for two months, and were playing and chatting animatedly.
Fang Wei and his friends see each other every day, so they can’t tell the changes in each other. But the classmates haven’t seen each other for two months, so they feel strange when they meet now. After all, the changes are really huge! !
"Woo! Pepe, what on earth have you eaten? Why have you lost so much weight?!"
"Ah? I haven't lost much weight, just a few pounds. I'm losing weight during the summer vacation."
Du Peipei laughed and looked at Cailing and the others: "Cailing, you seem to have become whiter? Do you have acne too?"
"Huh? Am I turning white?"
"Yeah, is it because we don't get enough sun?"
"It's true... because I open shells in the factory every day!"
"Class monitor and Asheng have grown a lot taller... Cailing, you and Zhiyi have become more beautiful!"
"Hahaha, no..."
On the other side, A Sheng also returned to his seat.
Looking at Ah Sheng who had grown to meters tall, Wang Yushan seemed to not recognize him and stared at him for a long time.
"Fang Yuansheng, did you eat the feed?" Wang Yushan asked.
"What are you talking about! What are you talking about! Wang Yushan, you, everyone else has grown taller, why is it that you haven't grown at all?"
"..."
Wang Yushan had a headache. How could she understand why she hadn't grown at all? Her height had been around meters, and it seemed like it had been frozen since the sixth grade. Over the past year, she had grown less than one centimeter, while her classmates, especially the boys, had generally grown by seven or eight centimeters!
The girl is tired, she can't still be this tall when she grows up...
"Then give me some of your height."
"No, no, I still want to grow to meters. How can I give it to you?"
"cut."
Here, Fang Wei and Liu Zhiyi also returned to their seats.
It may not be appropriate to use 'return to', it may be more appropriate to use 'come to'...
After all, except for the relative coordinates, the position has changed. Now the connected desk for the two of them is no longer the desk that has accompanied them for a whole year.
Liu Zhiyi is nostalgic. If possible, she would like to move their desks over and replace them. It would be best if they could only use that one desk for three years.
The structures of the tables and chairs are the same, but each one is different, whether it is the words engraved on them, the wear and tear on the edges and corners, the wobbly table frames, etc., they are all like unique fingerprints, carrying the time and emotions of that year.
The same is true for the classroom. Without blackboard newspapers and mobile red flags, it looks a bit strange.
But fortunately, the people around him did not change. Fang Wei stepped aside, and Liu Zhiyi walked from his seat to the first small corner that belonged to her by the wall.
There was a lot of dust on the seat that had been vacant for two months. She took out the prepared tissue from her schoolbag and gave half to Fang Wei. Then the two of them poured some water on the seat and wiped the double desk together.
When Fang Wei bent down to wipe the table, his butt was rudely slapped by a small hand.
"what?"
"Your butt is about to hit me in the face!"
Hehe, although she couldn't sit at the same table with him, Cai Ling was only separated from him by an aisle now.
After a simple cleaning of the seat, I gradually began to feel a greater sense of belonging to it.
Liu Zhiyi held her schoolbag in her arms and sat down in the corner. She stretched her legs and looked around the classroom while charging herself comfortably.
Fang Wei also sat down. He turned around and saw her expression and said with a smile, "Why don't you put your schoolbag in the drawer?"
"It's more comfortable to hold it."
Liu Zhiyi was in a good mood, and when their arms occasionally touched each other, she felt even happier.
"Fang Wei."
"Ok?"
“When are we going to release the new book?”
"Wait for Teacher Chen to arrange it."
"Now we have to learn an extra physics course, right?"
"Yes, you have already prepared for it. How do you feel about it? Is it difficult to learn?"
"good."
"That's good. Work harder in the new semester and try to beat me."
"Humph!"
In the small moment when no one was paying attention, Liu Zhiyi pinched him quietly.
I can't beat you in the exam, can't I just give you a pinch?
She didn't know when it started, but she became particularly fond of such little actions, and Fang Wei never fought back, which made her feel very proud and filled with a lot of joy in her heart.
Of course, such little actions cannot be seen by others. When she thinks that only she and he know about it, her heart beats faster.
Seeing that most of the students had arrived, Fang Wei walked up to the podium and told everyone that Teacher Wen had to take a week or two off due to family matters.
Just as he thought, his classmates were very understanding about this matter.
But understanding is one thing... When we heard the news, the class was still a little agitated. After all, everyone was thinking about seeing Teacher Wen soon, but they didn't expect that Teacher Wen had taken a leave and would not be able to come for another week or two. The anticipation was immediately dashed, and everyone was a little at a loss for a moment.
"Class monitor, is Teacher Wen sick? She's been on leave for so long, is it serious..."
"Don't worry, Teacher Wen is fine. Because my mother is in the hospital for surgery, Teacher Wen has to stay with her for a while and will be back soon."
"Class monitor, then, then will Teacher Wen not come back?"
"...Don't let your imagination run wild. Teacher Wen is going to teach us for three years. Why wouldn't he come back?"
"Then who will be our homeroom teacher if Teacher Wen is not here?"
"Ms. Chen will temporarily take over as the homeroom teacher."
Teacher Chen is our biology teacher. She is a 31-year-old single woman. She is very serious in her dressing and teaching. Her biology class is not interesting, but she is still very serious and responsible when teaching. She always wipes the blackboard by herself, and she is well-received among the students on duty that day.
It can be said that Teacher Chen is a candidate that is more acceptable to the classmates as the temporary head teacher, but... he is still far inferior to Teacher Wen!
"Then who will teach our Chinese classes?"
"Mr. Liu, the head teacher of the class next door, will be in charge of teaching us Chinese."
"Ah? Liu Guangtou? Their class's Chinese grades are so poor, how can they teach our class?"
"That's right. I heard from my classmates that Liu Guangtou's lectures are like hypnosis. We also have to memorize a lot of things and write weekly diaries. If we don't finish, we have to stand in the corner as punishment!"
"..."
For a time, the boys and girls in the class complained.
After all, compared to Wen Susu, who is young, beautiful, approachable, and gives novel and interesting lectures, Teacher Liu really has no advantages in everyone's mind...
In fact, it's not that bad... but there is no harm without comparison. It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Since I entered junior high school, Mr. Wen has always been the teacher in charge of the class, and now he was suddenly replaced by Mr. Liu Guangtou. Let alone how the class is taught, the huge gap in the image of the two teachers alone makes everyone a little unacceptable.
It was the same back then. After Wen Susu left school, Mr. Liu took over the Chinese teaching. Firstly, he was not as good at teaching as Wen Susu, and secondly, everyone rejected him, which led to a sharp drop in the overall Chinese performance of the class. The learning atmosphere of the whole class was scattered...
Teacher Liu is also confused. Wasn't it said that Class 2 would be full of high-quality students? Why did it all collapse when he took over?
Actually, it’s not Teacher Liu’s fault. After all, we are all teenagers. When faced with sudden changes, we are not as calm and rational as adults. Most of the time, we are still emotional.
After taking Teacher Wen’s class, I realized which teachers treat teaching as a job and which teachers treat teaching as a career.
The difference of one word makes a world of difference.
Young boys and girls are stubborn and naive. If they like a teacher, they will take his class seriously. If they hate a teacher, they will not be able to learn anything no matter how well the teacher teaches.
This is an objective and universal phenomenon, and Fang Wei can do nothing about it.
If we loudly tell everyone, "Studying is for yourself! Whether the teacher is good or not, you should study hard!", to everyone, isn't this just empty talk? If everyone has such a conscious internal drive, wouldn't everyone be able to go to Tsinghua University, Peking University, 985, or 211?
Since this sentence doesn't work, let's change it to -
"Everyone, please don't let Teacher Wen down!"
"Teacher Wen just asked for leave, not resigned, and Teacher Liu is just temporarily filling in for the class!"
"Hasn't Class 1 always been competing with our class? This time, let's let Teacher Liu see the learning atmosphere in our class! Otherwise, when Teacher Wen comes back, Teacher Liu will complain to her about our class. Wouldn't that be embarrassing for Teacher Wen?"
"I told you to behave well so that Teacher Wen can praise you when he comes back!"
"For Teacher Wen, we have to get through these ten days or half a month no matter what!"
Compared to the vague words like "learning for myself", "learning for Teacher Wen" obviously has more concrete action significance.
After listening to Fang Wei's words, everyone was silent for a while, and finally they were filled with enthusiasm -
"The monitor is right, for Teacher Wen!!"
"..."
Seeing that the atmosphere in the class was finally calmed down, Fang Wei was temporarily relieved.
Sister! Hurry back!
If it’s a few days later, I won’t be able to hold it anymore!
