The study of Qingcheng Middle School began, tense and lively, although Mu Zhen encountered some small setbacks when she first came, but after those glooms, it was a piece of sunshine, and Mu Zhen was much more cheerful.

Because it is a graduating class, the study time is relatively tight, and the school stipulates that there is a day and a half off every two weeks, and there are no classes on Saturday afternoon on weekends without a break in between, so that students can go home and bring some daily necessities. For Mu Zhen, he pays more attention to his days at school, and the complicated affairs at home affect his learning to some extent, so he still feels that he is too diligent to go home for the schedule arranged by the school, and he has secretly formulated his own schedule in his heart.

In the eyes of many teachers, optimistic about the students' grades when they enter the school, Mu Zhen's grades are not very good in the eyes of the teacher, so it did not attract too much attention from the teachers, there are two boys in the class who attract the most attention, one is named Tian Xiaosong, it is said that the admission score is the first in the school, and the other is called Zhang Wei, in order to go to secondary school, he was admitted to high school and did not go to it. Mu Zhen was not valued by teachers and students here, before he came here, he had already left the teacher's attention behind, the only thing he kept was to read well, read good books, and there was no other alternative.

Mu Zhen's Chinese teacher's surname is Chen, his name is Yong, he is a top student of Normal University, a Chinese teacher when the school established a high school, and when the high school was merged into the third middle school, his wife stayed because his wife worked in the school logistics. From his classroom teaching, Mu Zhen felt that he was knowledgeable, and many places where he quoted scriptures and classics came casually, and sometimes he could recite them in class, which made all the students admire.

In Friday's composition class, he gave the class the first essay topic - my ...... , you can fill in the content written according to your own ideas, this title naturally opens everyone's mind, you can associate still life, you can fill in animals, as long as it is related to my life, scenes, people, events, you can write.

When Mu Zhen saw this topic, he immediately thought of Liu Chaogang, and then added the word classmate behind me, in order to avoid the right number in the article, he made a slight modification, the time mentioned the last school year, the character changed the name, the article was written from the day of the freshman admission, through some events of the first acquaintance, showing obvious disgust for the new classmate, and then turning the pen, in the subsequent exchanges, found a lot of advantages and strengths from this classmate, worthy of their own learning flash, and later became a model for their own learning.

Mu Zhen's original composition is generally limited to three pages of the text, and this essay, which was inspired by feelings, made him write seven pages and about 1,500 words in one go. Mu Zhen just used the narrative method of writing, using things to show people, he didn't think much about it, he just felt that the people and things around him came easily, just as he had just read Lu You's poem from the textbook "The article is natural, and the magic hand gets it", it is easy to write.

When Teacher Chen corrected Mu Zhen's essay, he couldn't help but read it out loud in the office, so that the teachers in the office cast strange glances at him, especially in the Chinese class of the second class, Teacher Xie asked with great interest: "Which good article have you read so that you can read it out loud?"

"Oh, although the words of the article are not exquisite, but they are written with true feelings, and they are interlocking, and the events are written completely and truthfully, as if they are in front of you!" Teacher Chen raised his head and looked at Teacher Xie, who was sitting opposite him and replied.

It seems that this student still has a certain foundation in composition, otherwise he would not have written such a good composition. What's his name?" asked Teacher Xie.

"Mu Zhen was admitted from the Rural Union High School. Teacher Chen added.

"Mu Zhen, I know his father, his father is also a teacher, it turns out that we used to work together, I met him two days ago, and he asked me if I could teach his son?" said Teacher Xie affirmed.

"No wonder, it seems that this student has read a lot of books, and some words are used very originally, without any pretentiousness, and it seems that this student's composition should have been well written. Teacher Chen praised Mu Zhen's composition.

"The teacher's children study hard, but there are not many who can really read and become famous, I think this child has some future!" said Teacher Peng, the teacher of the fourth class who was sitting in the corner.

Teacher Chen smiled: "The master leads the door, the cultivation is in the individual, and the student's understanding is high, so that he can become a great talent!"

It is precisely with the previous praise that in the first essay review class, Mr. Chen took Mu Zhen's article as a model essay to read, and added comments while reading, reading the subtleties, and showing joy from time to time. After reading, Mr. Chen added: "The article has written more than 1,000 words, but there is no feeling of repetition and lengthiness. Second, the sentences are smooth, and the narrative is smooth and clear. The most important thing is the third point, this article first wrote about the misunderstanding of the classmates, and thus became disgusted, and then because of the excellent performance of the classmates, became a role model in their minds, this kind of writing technique is exactly what we have just talked about in "Praise of the Poplars". ”

This essay not only made the whole class remember Mu Zhen's name, but also let the grade teacher know this name, for Mu Zhen, but did not feel the slightest abnormality, since leaving Gucheng No. 1 Middle School, more than once achieved gratifying results, but those results, in the end, became worthless in the slander of others. The night of his departure made him understand a lot of truths, no matter what kind of achievements he has made, he can only represent the past, and he can only represent one aspect, not the whole of a person. These big truths may not have too much understanding for children of the same age, but what can not be understood about Mu Zhen after experiencing that setback?

The impact of an essay subsided slightly, and a week later the class had a math unit test.

"Don't say it, Mu Zhen, whom you praised a few days ago, is not bad at mathematics, this is the first unit test since entering the school, and he actually got a full score!" Teacher Zhang Jingrui said to Teacher Chen, who teaches Chinese.

"How many perfect marks are there in the class?" asked Teacher Chen, looking up.

"There are two altogether, the other is to be admitted to high school, this year I want to take the technical secondary school Zhang Wei, such a unit test for them to repeat the grade, it should not be a difficult thing, these questions have been tested at least last year, but they do not pay attention to accumulation, if you pay attention to accumulation, you should be able to test a full score, do not pay attention to accumulation, do not say, even last year did wrong or not, this year the same is not right, you say they don't work hard, can't say, just work hard to get somewhere, I don't know where to work hard, this is the difference between learning and learning, good students know how to learn, how to learn, where to work, poor students, like headless flies, I just shook my head and shook my arms there by rote, and in the end I didn't know what to memorize, this is the gap. Teacher Zhang said with some emotion.

"It's true, many students may only know what I want to say, but students like Mu Zhen can use it in writing, and the articles are still well written, I have to say that the gap between them is sometimes not a star and a half, but there is a gap from the beginning. Mr. Chen also agrees with Mr. Zhang's point of view.

"Tian Xiaosong, who was the first in the entrance exam, did not do badly in this exam, but he was wrong about using a key formula wrongly, and I don't know why this student was so careless, or he didn't master it at all. Teacher Zhang said a little regretfully.

"Tian Xiaosong, I heard the teacher of his class in the second generation of junior high school say that this child is talented and smart, but he has a strong sense of self-esteem, and I heard that once he is frustrated, he will be depressed and give up on himself, so pay more attention to him, I plan to recommend a few student essays to the magazine this semester, and I am currently secretly observing and screening, and I also want to strengthen the cultivation and set up a literary club, do you think it is okay?" Last year, although the cultural quality of the students recruited by him was not high, under his guidance, the literary club established in the high school department published two students' essays in the "Language Newspaper" alone, plus other magazines and newspapers, a total of five manuscripts were issued, which not only greatly improved the overall writing level of the literary club, but also improved the school's popularity. This was nominated and praised by the principal at the school-wide teachers' meeting. Teacher Zhang is very clear about these things, although Teacher Zhang thinks that this is a junior high school graduating class, and the learning task is higher than that of the first grade, but it is inconvenient to refuse such an idea, so he nodded and said: "This is a good thing, it is better to use your spare time to do something meaningful than to sit there and learn from scratch!"

"Okay, I've thought of the name of the literary club to be established, and it's called 'Xiaohe Chulu Literary Society'. Teacher Chen told the plan that he had already made.

"Not only is the name ready, but it is estimated that you have also chosen the composition of the team!" Mr. Zhang felt that since Mr. Chen proposed it, he must have made a sure decision.

"There are five personnel at the beginning, and three are currently set, Mu Zhen, Tian Xiaosong, Zhang Wei, do you think there are any recommended candidates?" Teacher Chen looked at Teacher Zhang and asked.

"Where do I have, I'm just positioned on everyone's rational understanding, I have little contact with perceptual understanding, you have a discerning eye, and there is really no one in the school to compare with you. Teacher Zhang's praise made Teacher Chen a little embarrassed.

"You see, it's too much of an award, and I'm just doing my due diligence according to cultivating the children's interests, and it looks like I'm getting an axe in front of you. He laughed.

This sentence also amused the other teachers in the office and laughed along.

"Your class has set up a literature club, and I will also send my classmates to participate, don't object!" Teacher Xie interjected.

"Of course there is no objection, as long as it is an excellent and promising student, you can recommend it, and those who come below will not refuse, and you will bow your head and be willing to be a Confucian cow!" Mr. Chen was unceremonious, for cultivating students' interest in writing, which he mentioned in his graduation thesis in the year of graduation, and has been applying it in teaching, so that many students trained by him have benefited a lot.

In the Chinese class that day, Mr. Chen's opening remarks: "Have you ever heard of the literary club? The so-called literary club is a small team established with literature as a link, this small team aims to improve everyone's literary accomplishment, comprehensively improve the writing level of members, and reserve strength for future literary creation. Xiaohe Chulu Literature Club', students who are willing to participate can voluntarily go to Zhang Wei to register for a name, but after signing up, in addition to the composition assigned in the classroom, you must write at least one more composition outside the classroom and hand it to me, and the composition outside the lecture hall can be unlimited title, no limit to length, no limit to content, and no limit to more submission!"

Teacher Chen's establishment of the "Little Lotus Chulu Literary Club" soon spread in the third grade of junior high school, in addition to the five students in the third class of junior high school registered, the rest of the class also registered four students, who would have thought that only for the purpose of cultivating students' hobbies and interests, do not charge pennies, do not mix with any selfish thoughts, that is, this little-known literary club in the future will have two secretaries, two reporters, an editor, a literature professor, a history teacher. Their names are: Xu Jin, Liu Zhongshan, Tan Weifeng, Gao Changqing, Mu Zhen, Sui Zhimin, Tian Xiaosong.
