When the brother and sister returned to the door, before they could open the door, they heard a pleasant, cheerful chat coming from the house.

The voice was very messy and chaotic, and in addition to my parents, it was estimated that there would be three or four people.

Xu Yiyang didn't think much about it, took out the key and opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, Xu Yiyang saw his head teacher Zhang Aixue and two other men who were a little familiar sitting on their small sofa, chatting with their parents.

Dad Xu was handing cigarettes to the three of them, and when he turned his head and saw Xu Yiyang entering the door, he beckoned and said, "Oh, Yangyang, come on, come on, your Principal Lin, Director Xue, and Teacher Zhang have all come to see you!"

Before Xu Yiyang came back to his senses, the head teacher Zhang Aixue stood up with a smile on his face and said with great relief: "Xu Yiyang, you really won glory for our No. 1 Middle School today!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect that your English test results are usually inconspicuous, but you can talk and laugh with foreign guests at critical moments, tell me, how did you practice this spoken language?"

In fact, Zhang Aixue has another question that he is embarrassed to ask, what did you kid do if you don't go to the exam, why did you go to the Yellow River?

Thinking that this time he followed the school leaders to reward Xu Yiyang, this kind of inappropriate question was really impossible to ask.

Xu Yiyang smiled slightly, and said without falsehood: "Speaking is to practice with foreign movies and television, and I can practice it in a daze, maybe I have a little talent in language learning." ”

Zhang Aixue didn't doubt it much, and nodded seriously: "Speaking is really talented, I can't do it, language talent is negative, you see that I can't even speak Mandarin well." ”

For most people, it is not difficult to learn English for the test, but it is difficult to learn to speak well.

Zhang Aixue's example is very representative, many people who have the ability to be admitted to key universities may not be able to speak standard Mandarin well.

Especially the Qilu dialect has a heavy accent, and it is really difficult to get rid of the accent habit, and it is difficult to speak Mandarin as a mother tongue, let alone speak English well.

At this time, the two older men beside Zhang Aixue also stood up.

One of the middle-aged people, who was a little fat, said with a smile: "Xu Yiyang, today, Director Cai of the Education Bureau called you and praised you fiercely, and also gave a special explanation, so that the school will reward you well!"

Xu Yiyang recognized this middle-aged man, he should be the principal of his high school, surnamed Lin, named Lin Zhenlu.

After recognizing him, Xu Yiyang also recognized the tall middle-aged man next to him by the way.

He should be the director of the Academic Affairs Office, Xue Guangshan.

Xu Yiyang walked up to the three of them, bowed slightly humbly, and said, "Thank you Principal Lin, thank you Director Xue, thank you Teacher Zhang, in fact, this is mainly due to the good education of the school, and I want to thank the school for its cultivation." ”

Lin Zhenlu smiled bitterly and said: "You can say that the rest is cultivated by the school, but I really don't believe in spoken English!"

Thinking of this morning's incident, Lin Zhenlu still feels very depressed.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning, he received a call from Secretary Hu of the Education Bureau, and heard that the director of the bureau had named him to send an English teacher with good ability to help the Education Bureau receive foreign guests.

He didn't dare to delay, so he quickly contacted the leader of the third-grade English group of Yingzhou No. 1 High School.

But as soon as the other party heard that he was going to work as a translator for foreign guests, he was immediately intimidated.

He said that he had never spoken to a foreigner at all, and that the things in the syllabus and the oral dialogue had long been completely abandoned in these years, and that if he really met a foreign guest, he was afraid that he would be embarrassed by the first high school.

Lin Zhenlu asked other English teachers again, and everyone also said that they didn't have that ability, and they didn't dare to go over and show their ugliness in front of the director of education.

The English teachers' considerations are also very realistic, everyone's spoken language has been abandoned for many years, which is equivalent to the day a soldier enters the army, he has never fired a real gun, and suddenly sent to the battlefield, he may even forget how to shoot.

Therefore, if you take the liberty of translating for foreign guests, your own level is not enough, coupled with nervousness and lack of self-confidence, it is easy to make a mess.

And this is no ordinary occasion.

In ordinary cases, it doesn't matter if you can't go.

But this time, I want to act as a translator for foreign guests in front of the director of education, and there are also reporters from the TV station to follow the film, in case the translation is not done well, the leaders will see it, and as soon as the TV station broadcasts, the people of the whole city will see it, and their future will be doomed.

At that time, Lin Zhenlu was anxious to burn ants, and the secretary of the director kept calling to urge, and no one dared to respond to the English teachers in the school here.

Everyone didn't dare to respond, although he was very angry, he didn't dare to force the faction, otherwise, if one of the strong factions messed up in the past, he would have to be unlucky.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Xu Yiyang, who was supposed to be sitting in the examination room, appeared on the edge of the Yellow River for some reason and saved the fire.

Otherwise, if you really want to force No. 1 Middle School to have a teacher, I am afraid that it will be a shame today.

Lin Zhenlu was so happy in his heart that he even forgot to think about why Xu Yiyang didn't go to the exam.

He didn't bother to think about it, so what about him, as long as the result was good, it was already a blessing.

So, he took out a stack of cash from the leather bag he was carrying, handed it to Xu Yiyang, and said seriously: "Classmate Xu Yiyang, this 5,000 yuan is a reward given to you by the school, I hope you will make persistent efforts to win glory for the school." ”

Xu Yiyang looked at the stack of cash, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Thank you, Principal Lin!"

Xu Yiyang hurriedly thanked him, and took the stack of money from Lin Zhenlu's hand.

Lin Zhenlu said with a smile: "Director Cai said, you have made a lot of meritorious service this time, and this is what you deserve." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xu's father and Xu's mother, who were a little restrained on the side, and said with a smile: "You two have cultivated a good son!"

Dad Xu said modestly: "Everywhere, it is all cultivated by the school!"

"The cultivation of parents is more important!" Lin Zhenlu said, looked at the time on his watch, and said: "It's not too early, we won't delay your cooking and eating, and let Xu Yiyang have a good rest, recuperate, and continue to entertain foreign guests tomorrow." ”

Zhang Aixue also spoke: "Xu Yiyang, you didn't take this exam, I have already applied to the grade director, and I will keep the grade ranking of the last exam for you, so that you will not be assigned to the last exam room in the next exam." ”

Xu Yiyang nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

Lin Zhenlu said with a relieved face: "Classmate Xu Yiyang, you must guard against arrogance and rashness, and make persistent efforts. ”

"I got to know Principal Lin. ”

Xu Yiyang nodded, and then thought of his current money-making plan, so he said, "By the way, Principal Lin, I have something I want to ask the school for help." ”

Lin Zhenlu immediately said: "If there is anything you say, if the school can solve it, it will definitely help you solve it." ”

Xu Yiyang said: "Principal, during the winter vacation, I want to borrow a classroom from the school. ”

Lin Zhenlu asked curiously, "What are you going to borrow the classroom for?"

Xu Yiyang said vaguely: "I want to try to organize an English interest group during the winter vacation, but don't worry, I only use it during the holidays, and it will not delay the normal teaching of the school." ”

Lin Zhenlu immediately said: "This is a good thing, the classroom is idle during the winter vacation, which one do you want?"

Seeing that Lin Zhenlu agreed so easily, Xu Yiyang immediately hit the snake and went down the pole, and said with a grim face: "Principal, if I can, I want to borrow the electric classroom in our laboratory building......"

In my memory, Yingzhou No. 1 Middle School in high school had an electric classroom, which was equipped with computers, TVs, projectors and slide projectors, which was the most high-tech classroom in Yingzhou No. 1 Middle School at that time, except for the microcomputer room.

At that time, the only electric classroom was used by the whole school in turn, and a class could only have two or three classes in the electric classroom in one semester, but every time the class was in the electric classroom, everyone felt very novel and excited.

Since I want to do English training during the winter vacation, it is definitely best to have the assistance of audio and video teaching equipment, which not only has a good teaching effect, but also looks more professional and authoritative in the eyes of parents.

When Lin Zhenlu heard this request, he hesitated slightly.

The electric classroom, the computer room and the laboratory are indeed the treasures of the school, after all, the teaching funds are limited, and every piece of equipment is very valuable.

However, when he thought that Xu Yiyang had indeed made a contribution to Yizhong, and that he was the object of Director Cai's personal call to praise him, Lin Zhenlu was not easy to slacken, so he agreed and said, "Okay, when will you use it?" ”

Xu Yiyang said: "I will use it the day after tomorrow." ”

Lin Zhenlu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to say hello to Master Zhang in the laboratory building when I go back, he lives in the guard room, you can go directly to him to get the key when the time comes." ”

Xu Yiyang's goal was achieved, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Principal Lin!"
