Chapter 19: Skipping Class
The two-hour drive allowed the "virtuous brother" to experience the greatness of the country, the merits of reform, and the speed of change.
I heard Liu Jianshe say that when they went out of the mountain and entered the provincial capital, they walked around the mountain road, and from the car window, they could tremble and see the cliffs below, and it took more than half a day each way; When entering the provincial capital to study, the ring mountain road has been abandoned, began to take the national highway, two-way two-lane, curve overtaking through the window, you can see the frightened eyes of the people in the car, 4-6 hours each way; now two high-speed straight to the door, two-way eight lanes, flat access, one way 2 hours, move to a different scene, slow driving, see the flowers in spring, see the stream rushing in summer, enjoy the red leaves in autumn, and show the silver in winter.
When they went home, "Brother Xian" also resumed his original life, and continued to perform the duties of "house cook", like a spinning top, under the whipping of life, passively spinning, unable to stop, occasionally rubbing out some sparks, short-lived, calm, and return to the original state.
Due to the fact that the promotion rate of the graduating class in the last school year and the evaluation of other grades were among the best, the higher authorities decided that in order to further improve the school's education and teaching level, a group of experienced, young and innovative teachers from the county were specially transferred to Hedong Junior High School. Young and promising, broad-minded male teachers, and innovative female teachers, make this peaceful mountain village school boil all of a sudden.
Originally, for "Brother Ghost", what kind of teacher he came would not have any impact on his study and life, and he thought that it would only make him indirectly and quickly realize the outside world. As always, he arranges his studies and plays with his mind. But there was a female teacher in the group of new teachers, who caught his attention and touched him.
When the whole school held the "Welcome New Teacher Conference", "Brother Ghost" sat in the front row as a student representative, she was wearing a long white dress, her hair was tied behind her head, I heard that the age was similar to Liu Jianjian, as a representative of the new teacher, she walked past the "Brother Ghost" to speak on stage, a faint fragrance, let you want to take a beautiful breath, lock the nasal cavity, and not let a little miscellaneous smell penetrate into the channel of smell. Standing on the stage, looking from a distance, it looks like a magnolia flower, especially after the rain in early spring, and in the low cry of the silk rain, the cold and glamorous bloom makes people feel a little sad and sad.
"Brother Ghost" feels that her appearance is a bit similar, and her voice is more like a person, the person who has been buried in his heart forever, never opens it easily, and does not look back - Yang Caixia. She happens to be the Chinese teacher of "Ghost Brother" - Teacher Zheng, and there have been several classes, and "Ghost Brother" has consciously pressed his ears back and forth, not wanting to listen but always can't help but want to listen, or not bowing his head, staring at her who is painting and coloring, talking and relish on the podium, so that it seems that only focusing on her actions can reduce her voice.
Several times during class, she also noticed the strange movements of "Ghost Brother" on the podium, pressing her ears for a while, staring at her intently for a while, and not seeing other behaviors such as taking notes. Before she entered the class, she had a general understanding of the students in the class, and she also had a special understanding of the learning situation of the "ghost brother". She thought that this was the "ghost brother" who was active, or his habit, and even understood that this "top student" was outstanding or talented.
Later, when she communicated with other substitute teachers, when she used this as a "boast" and "show off" conversation, other teachers told her that "Brother Ghost" was very good in their class, and they all said that this child studied well, that is, he concentrated in class and seized the 40 minutes. She was puzzled, and the other substitute teachers were also puzzled, suggesting that she find time to talk to the "ghost brother".
"Brother Ghost" is even a little afraid of going to Chinese class, and the familiar sound sometimes makes him always in a trance, and he can't help but listen to it for a long time, and he feels drowsy. When there was no other way, the "ghost brother" chose to skip class for the first time, and he couldn't get out of the school gate, and he heard one of his "brothers" say that there was a gap in the courtyard wall of the boys' toilet where he could enter and exit. At first, he was always worried about being caught by the inspecting teacher, so he hid behind the persimmon tree in fear, and looked around from time to time. After the bell rang, I crawled back to the toilet through the gap and sat in the classroom in a dignified manner. "Ghost Brother" thinks that he will skip one semester like this, and the teacher will be changed in the next semester, according to the original teacher rotation practice of the school.
Teacher Zheng was also aware of it at first, and asked where the "ghost brother" was, and his "brothers" would always find reasons to prevaricate, either because they had diarrhea, or which teacher went to find the mimeographed scroll. At the beginning, Mr. Zheng felt that the first "ghost brother" had such poor physical fitness, and the second "ghost brother" liked the teacher so much, so many teachers were looking for him, and he was still a little worried and proud. After a long time, his "brothers" really couldn't make up any new reasons for their daily Chinese classes, so they simply "shared the blessings and difficulties with the "ghost brother", and crawled out of the toilet to skip class.
In Chinese class, I saw a classroom like a puzzle, and several places were always empty and could not be formed, and no one knew where these people were going if I asked again. Teacher Zheng was puzzled, and after class, she asked the class teacher and a few substitute teachers, only to learn that only her class was absent. Wenwen suddenly felt aggrieved, and held back his tears and said: "Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people! Rotten wood cannot be carved...... The head teacher looked at the angry Teacher Zheng and came up with an idea to say that next time before you go to class, I will follow them.
The results speak for themselves. The head teacher asked the "ghost brother" several "brothers", and after "soft grinding and hard bubbles", "follow the good temptation" and other measures, he learned that the "ghost brother" was the leader, which attracted the attention of the head teacher and the Chinese teacher. When the head teacher repeatedly asked the reason, the "ghost brother" only said that he didn't want to take Chinese class, and when he asked why he didn't want to go to Chinese class, "ghost brother" said, "Teacher, I am a rotten onion" - and then he was silent and silent. In desperation, the head teacher can only warn, and if there is a similar situation, he will report to the school leadership, and the school will punish accordingly.
Teacher Zheng, who was present, was so angry that she secretly wiped her tears beside her, thinking that she had done nothing wrong, since she took the Chinese of the class, the learning enthusiasm of the whole class has improved, and the initiative has also improved. Only the "ghost brother" doesn't like to take her class, is it really because he is a "top student" and proud, there must be another reason. But she didn't say anything more, wiped away her tears, and went back to class. She took the time to find out more about the "brothers" of the "ghost brother", and then went to the principal (the principal is also from Hedong, and the "ghost brother" is from the neighboring village) to learn about the situation of the "ghost brother", including the general family situation.
