Li Yufei's words made the surroundings quiet, and time stood still, as if the whole world was waiting for Lin Ping to answer.

Lin Ping looked at Li Yufei and replied with a smile: "If you were my student, my eyes would definitely shine on you." ”

Li Yufei fell silent, Lin Ping didn't speak, and Wang Xinming flashed to the side to leave enough space for the two young people.

The bustling streets suddenly became quiet again.

"It's almost lunch, I'll treat you to lunch. Li Yufei smiled to break the embarrassment.

"No, there is a shortage of teachers in the school, and I have to rush back to teach the students. Lin Ping indifferently refused.

The car was driving on the road back from Lin Xi City to Kushan, Lin Ping's eyes looked out of the window blankly, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his deep eyes, only to see that the reflection in those eyes was fleeting, there was a roadside scene, and there was also a scene in his heart.

"Principal Lin, Principal Lin, Teacher Lin!"

Wang Xinming's voice evoked Lin Ping from his thoughts, "What are you thinking?

Wang Xinming smiled a little shyly, Lin Ping glanced at him and then shook his head and said, "My heart is too full, think about it and think about it." ”

Wang Xinming said with a smile: "Principal Lin has to be twenty-three or four this year, right, so he didn't consider such a thing as getting married?

Lin Ping shook his head and smiled and said, "No hurry. ”

Wang Xinming continued: "I understand, the more educated people are, the later they get married, like us mountain people and rural people, like you, basically have children at such an age. Some even got married earlier, the year before last there was a little boy in our village who got married at the age of 16, and the bride was one year older than him, and she got married and had children. His mother asked him to watch his child, and this boy had to give him money to watch it, and it cost three yuan for a long time. ”

As he spoke, Wang Xinming burst out laughing, and he felt a little ridiculous when he said it himself.

Wang Xinming said again: "It's good for you intellectuals to marry later and have children later, so be cautious." Now that the divorce rate is so high, I've heard that the divorce rate in the big cities is almost catching up with the marriage rate. For every two pairs of knots, one pair has to be separated. ”

Wang Xinming is a typical citizen who listens to the wind and rain, and when chatting, he likes to exaggerate his rhetoric, the small ones are big, and some of them are not as if they were real.

Wang Xinming continued to babble, and Lin Ping listened with a smile next to him. Lin Ping has not yet considered this lifelong event, Wang Xinming has begun to guide Lin Ping's life, a typical "the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry".

chatted like this, and before I knew it, I returned to Chungkook Hope School.

Back at school, Lin Ping hurried back to the classroom to teach the students, while Wang Xinming squatted in the corner and smoked one cigarette after another, he talked to Lin Ping about marriage in the car, Lin Ping was not touched in his heart, he himself touched himself, he suddenly couldn't stop thinking of his wife and that time, and the only thing he could do now was to squat in the corner and smoke a cigarette and chew that sweet and astringent memory.

In the spare time after lunch, Lin Ping lay on the railing and watched the students playing on the playground, and the afterglow of the setting sun gave this group of children a layer of youthful color.

At this time, someone patted Lin Ping's shoulder and said, "What's the matter?"

It was Zhang Yipeng's voice.

Lin Ping's eyes didn't turn, he still looked at the frolicking students on the playground, and shook his head with a smile: "I didn't have a daze, I just watched the students play games." ”

Zhang Yipeng also lay on the railing, and then said with some sadness: "I know that I must be sad, anyway, I am a little uncomfortable, after you leave today, I will give a physical education class to the class of the first year of junior high school." Originally, there were not many students, and suddenly there were two children, Shi Dongyue and Ma Jianxiang, and I always felt as if something was missing, in my heart. ”

Zhang Yipeng, who is usually heartless and grinning, choked up a little when he said it.

"It's okay," Lin Ping smiled and comforted, "It's like this when you first become a teacher, the more affection you pour into your students, the more uncomfortable you feel when you send them away." It's like watching a child you raise suddenly leave your side and may forget about the world forever. And after slowly sending away batch after batch of students, you will get used to it. ”

Zhang Yipeng sighed: "To be honest, Shi Dongyue and Ma Jianxiang, these two are quite distinctive, so, I remember it more deeply, Shi Dongyue needless to say, the master who can't be forgotten at a glance, Ma Jianxiang, this kid is usually very naughty when he takes physical education class, and he was kicked by me two or three times." Now, it's gone, and the feeling in my heart is strange. ”

Lin Ping smiled, listening to Zhang Yipeng's words, now he has feelings for these children.

Zhang Yipeng finally smiled and said: "But it's okay, it's better to go to a sports school than to stay in our school, the sports school can better train them, and that is the path that the two of them are suitable for." ”

Zhang Yipeng's words were somewhat self-comforting.

At this time, Liu Xin and a few of them shouted to Zhang Yipeng downstairs: "Teacher Zhang, come and play basketball with us!"

Zhang Yipeng, who was lying on the railing, immediately straightened up and shouted with a smile: "Hey! Wait, I'll go down immediately." ”

Time flies, November passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is December.

December 1st is the day when the results of the Linxi City Olympiad are announced.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Ping was in class, and a long-awaited system notification sounded in his heart.

[System prompt: Congratulations, Wang Yige, a junior high school student of our school, ranked eighth in the junior high school group of the Linxi Primary and Secondary School Student Olympiad and won the second prize. 】

[System prompt: The personal information of Wang Yige, a first-year junior high school student at Zhongguo Hope School, has been updated. 】

What's new:

[Personal Honor]: The second prize of the junior high school group of the Linxi City Primary and Secondary School Student Olympiad Competition, the role of the award: the score of the high school entrance examination +10 points.

Hearing this information, Lin Ping was both excited and regretful, but it was a pity that Wang Yige failed to win the first prize, but this second prize was already very rare for Wang Yige. Wang Yige's ability to win the eighth place under such learning conditions, learning environment and learning resources is very remarkable in Lin Ping's opinion.

Even Lin Ping felt that Zhongguo hoped that the school had delayed Wang Yige, and if Wang Yige could receive a better education in mathematics in a better school, he would definitely be able to achieve better results.

But think about it on the other hand, if Wang Yige's teacher is not Lin Ping, Wang Yige's quiet and introverted personality is really not easy to attract the attention of teachers, and ordinary teachers are unlikely to discover Wang Yige's mathematical talent, Wang Yige may not only not achieve better results, but will be buried among many students.

After class, Lin Ping called Wang Yige to the office and said to Wang Yige with a smile: "Yige, the results are out." ”

"Monthly exam results?"

Yesterday and the day before yesterday were the monthly exams in November, and they were also midterm exams, Wang Yige thought that Lin Ping was going to talk about the results of this midterm exam, so he was not very interested, Wang Yige knew that he must have taken the first place again this time, he was already a little numb, and he didn't have any feelings about this first.

"No, it's last month's math Olympiad results. Lin Ping said with a smile.

As soon as he heard that it was the results of the Olympiad competition, Wang Yige immediately came to his senses and asked curiously, "How did I do in the exam?" ”

Lin Ping pretended to be mysterious and said, "You guess?"

Wang Yige pursed his lips and thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "Fifth?"

This seems to be the lowest ranking that Wang Yige can accept.

Lin Ping shook his head with a smile and said, "You won the second prize." ”

Then he said, "Eighth place." ”

Hearing that he was the "eighth place", Wang Yige frowned a little unhappily, and became sullen like a deflated ball.

"Why is it eighth? I think I'm doing a good job. Wang Yige said with some self-reproach.
