Chapter 42: He's Retiring
I took a long breath and said slowly, "I remember that it was a hot summer, and I went to Mr. Liu to get review materials under the scorching sun......"
"Let's get to the point!" Senior Sister interrupted me with an unhappy face.
I subconsciously glanced at Lao Liu and found that his expression had not changed, so I said: "Because the weather was too hot, I hugged half a piece of watermelon, thinking about eating it with Mr. Liu, and then he said that he didn't eat it...... Well, it's very supportive, but it's not wasted. That's about it. "
My wife couldn't stop laughing when she heard this, and said, "Hahaha, your teacher came back and talked about this matter many times in front of me, saying that I have never seen such a sincere student as you......"
I looked around and found that Senior Sister and Nie Xinyan were also smiling, but Lao Liu had a straight face, but the smile in the corner of his eyes couldn't be hidden, and he suddenly put his mind at ease, Lao Liu shouldn't mind. But when he thought about the watermelon for so long, I suddenly had a feeling of horror, if his old man gave me small shoes, then I would really be gone.
Lao Liu may have seen my concerns, and said angrily: "Don't worry, as long as you meet the standards, I will never get stuck with you." "
With Lao Liu's words, I finally put my mind at ease and smiled at Lao Liu.
......
After eating, several people sat on the sofa and chatted without a match, all kinds of childhood troubles were used by us as a conversation at the moment, and everyone's faces were filled with a casual smile, except for Lao Liu.
There has always been a faint silence on Lao Liu's face, his eyes have been wandering between the window and us, and I can actually feel a trace of twilight in him.
"Yun Wuxiu, how long can you stay in school?" Lao Liu's sudden question caught me off guard, and I looked at him a little stunned.
Nie Xinyan was also a little surprised, after all, we were all talking about a pleasant topic at this moment, and suddenly it came to the issue of graduation, so that we all fell silent, for those of us who are about to graduate, this topic will indeed make people's hearts become heavy, and the scene will become a little embarrassing for a while.
I thought about it for a while, and then said to Lao Liu: "It's been less than thirty days. "
After Lao Liu heard it, he nodded a little blankly, sighed, and said, "It's really fast...... and then got up and went to the balcony alone, looking at the back of his departure, I felt an inexplicable sadness.
I turned my eyes to my wife and asked tentatively, "Master, what is this?"
The wife looked at Lao Liu, who was standing on the balcony, and also sighed lightly, and said, "Your teacher, I will retire after taking you this term." "
"Retreat... Retirement?"
The master nodded, and then continued: "Yes, your teacher is not too young, and it is time to retire." "
I see, hearing this news, I also figured out a little bit about Lao Liu's current psychology, I have taught all my life, and I have worked hard for students all my life, but in the end, students meet him like a mouse meets a cat, and it's really sad to think about it.
"Mrs., with the influence of teachers in the school, recommend students to those companies that come to the school to recruit students......" Before I could finish speaking, I was interrupted by my wife.
"Xiaoyun, what kind of person your teacher is, you should know quite well now, if he wanted to, he wouldn't be like this. After speaking, the master also got up and left.
The whole living room only left me and Nie Xinyan, and the three of them looked at each other, and I was also in distress, although the reason for the current situation was Lao Liu, but who dared to say that he had done wrong? Not only was he not wrong at all, but he made the ultimate that a teacher can do.
Lao Liu has always been strict in learning, and for the homework he assigned, he can hand it in a week or two late, he can make mistakes, or he can even not do it, but he must not plagiarize. In his opinion, plagiarism is disrespectful to knowledge, and it is something he absolutely cannot tolerate. In my memory, there are at least two names that Lao Liu has hung out because of plagiarism, which may be one of the reasons why he is not treated by students.
Lao Liu is reluctant to recommend students to companies that enter the school, which makes me very confused. After all, if this is done well, it can be said that it is the best of all worlds, the company gets the available talent, the students get jobs, the school increases the employment rate, and he also improves the reputation. Just tried to talk to his wife just now, but was interrupted by his wife, it seems that Lao Liu is really very resistant to this matter.
I turned my gaze to my sister, eager to get some information from her, and she understood what I meant, and asked, "Are you confused about why he is so resistant to recommending students?"
I nodded slightly, and the senior sister looked at me, her brows furrowed slightly, and Bei Ya bit her lip slightly, and you could see that she was very entangled in her heart.
"Senior sister, it's inconvenient to say it, forget it. I couldn't help but say.
"It's okay, let's tell you about it, your teacher is willing to take you to the house to prove that he still values you very much, and I think it's still necessary to tell you about this matter. "
Hearing my senior sister say this, I made a gesture of listening to my ears, and Nie Xinyan got up gently and left the living room.
"That was about twenty years ago, when I was in high school......
"Senior sister, take the liberty of asking, are you Gui Geng this year?"
"Uh... Why do you ask this, I'm Chinese New Year's Eve eight today. The senior sister looked at me with some astonishment, but still told me the answer.
"Well, it doesn't look like it, I thought you were in your early thirties......" I smirked.
"No wonder your teacher keeps mentioning you, he is really good at talking, don't talk about this, let's talk about it to you. "
"Hmm. "
"At that time, your teacher had already become the head of the department, and if you think about it, the head of the department in his early forties had a lot of influence in the school at that time. Your teacher has a particularly good student, how good is it, even people like your teacher are full of praise for him. On the eve of graduation, I recommended him to enter a large company, and he did not live up to your teacher's expectations and quickly gained a firm foothold. It only took three years to become the head of the technical department. Speaking of this, the senior sister stopped, picked up a glass of water and moistened her throat.
I couldn't help but praise: "This senior is really powerful." "
Senior sister looked at me and continued, "Yes, it's amazing. However, the subsequent development deviated from the track, first embezzling the company's design funds, and later leaking the company's design plan to competitors, causing the company to suffer heavy losses. Your teacher was so angry when he found out about this incident that he personally approached him for a theory, but his reply to your teacher was only one word - money. "
"Money? If he can do that position in three years, he shouldn't be short of money, right?"
"Who knows, maybe he went all the way too smoothly, maybe it was something else. "
"And what about him now?"
"Now, the grass on the grave is two meters, and the suicide caused a big sensation when he jumped off the building. "
Self... My mind went blank, and I reached out to look at it and saw that my hands were shaking. I see, that's right. Lao Liu's heart should have been broken at that time. Maybe Lao Liu thinks that it was because of his original recommendation that the student embarked on a road of no return, he should feel very uncomfortable, after all, he is his most proud student......
It took me a long time before I came to my senses. In my opinion, Lao Liu's abandonment of recommending students because of this matter is a bit of a generalization, but no one can say that he is wrong, anyone who encounters this kind of thing can't bear it, and it's rare not to have a mental breakdown. People can't fall in the same place twice, and Lao Liu chose not to take that road again, so naturally he won't fall in the same place.
That student must have gone too smoothly all the way, and then lost his heart in the big dye vat of society.
......
At the time of parting, Lao Liu finally came over from the balcony, waved at me with a smile, and saw his smiling face with some vicissitudes, and felt that his eyes were a little moist, and the wind was a little strong today.
"Hey, Yun Wuxiu, add a WeChat, and come to play often in the future. "
When Nie Xinyan and I were about to leave, Senior Sister stopped me, I turned around and smiled at her, and said, "Okay." "
......
Not long after I left Lao Liu's house, I received a message from my senior sister: "Yun Wuxiu, ten days later will be your teacher's birthday, and it should also be the last birthday of his coaching career, whether he can retire happily depends on you." "
Seeing this, I felt a little dizzy in my head when I just woke up, and I rubbed my hair with some annoyance, Nie Xinyan looked like a curious baby, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Well, see for yourself. I handed the phone to Nie Xinyan, and then looked at the night sky in a daze, the night was very dim, the stars were very bright, it was obviously a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere, but I felt an inexplicable irritability, I don't know if it was because of the previous story, or the information from my sister just now.
"Hey, Wuxiu, isn't this a great opportunity?"
"What good chance?"
"Oh, why are you confused at a critical time, Mr. Liu has always been worried about his impression among students, so you use this opportunity to mobilize your classmates to celebrate a special birthday for him. "
"I thought, but who dares, those goods will run as far as they want to see Lao Liu. "
"That's your problem, I'm sure you can. "
After listening to Nie Xinyan's words, I began to think, there must be no problem in terms of time, I should be in school at that time. But I don't have the slightest clue how to convince them.
If it was just our class, I would still be confident, but that would not have achieved the desired effect, and at least three more squads would have to be mobilized.
First of all, I must go to the squad leader Jelly to discuss this matter first, but who will convince the personnel of the other squads? Suddenly, a figure appeared in my mind, and I subconsciously glanced at Nie Xinyan, if she knew, it was estimated that there would be a lot of trouble, and besides, I owed Li Yue enough.
"Xinyan, why did you remember it today?" I changed the subject, and I still didn't think about it for the time being.
Nie Xinyan looked at me, then pouted and said, "Didn't you say that I came to you if I wanted you?
"I haven't seen you for most of the day, so how can you survive the three years you have been abroad?"
"You can make a video call after you go abroad, anyway, if I want you, I'll look for you, and if you want me, you can ...... Try the lipstick. "
Before he finished speaking, he ran away again...... I stomped my foot in hatred, this girl, she has learned badly, and she always uses this thing to amuse me.
