3, Lu You and Tang Wan
Gong Liguo has basically arranged the entry of the company, and Zhang Dongming has been very leisurely in the past few days.
Ate and slept, slept and ate, occasionally watched TV, and more often went outside.
Along the way, I watched the hawkers selling meat and vegetables on the street, the old man playing chess with his beard under the tree, the noisy schoolchildren coming home from school with their schoolbags, the busy people in the crop fields, the dilapidated tiled houses, the potholed dirt roads, the donkey carts, horse-drawn carts, tricycles and four-wheeled carts on the road, the clouds in the sky, the soil under their feet, the mountains in the distance, the water nearby, and everything......
It's different, it's really different.
When he left the countryside, he thought the countryside was backward, the countryside was poor, the countryside was buried, the countryside was boring, the countryside was inconvenient, and he disliked all that the countryside had.
Now he is back sixteen years ago, the difference is that everything in the countryside is so natural and comfortable in his eyes.
Zhang Dongming couldn't tell what it was like, but it was wonderful.
After a few days like this, Gong Liguo told him at dinner that he would officially report to school tomorrow.
Zhang Dongming is also looking forward to it, it's time to integrate into a new life.
Sun Shufen seemed to understand his mood, and led him to cut his hair the next day.
I have to say that the three yuan cut out of the head is really a bit of a pit, from beginning to end it is a flat push with a clipper, and there is no hairstyle at all, fortunately, Zhang Dongming cut his flat head, and he can generally see it.
Then because there was no formal dress, Sun Shufen picked out Zhang Dongming from Gong Liguo's clothes.
Navy blue shirt, white gray trousers, almost a pound of heavy scalp shoes......
Zhang Dongming looked at himself in the mirror, like a standard image of an intellectual in the 90s.
This is also okay, mainly because although he is about the same size, Gong Liguo is a lot fatter than him, and he is swaying on his body in this outfit, as if he is wearing a sack.
But Sun Shufen thinks it's good, at least better than his short-sleeved and bell-bottomed pants.
In fact, Zhang Dongming's feeling is similar, at the time he may have thought that these clothes and pants were very handsome and cool, but now looking back and looking back, I really feel that it is not good, it is not as good as this old-fashioned outfit of intellectuals.
After tossing like this all morning, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Dongming slowly came to the township middle school.
I didn't rush to Gong Liguo's office, and I went around the school first.
Old flat tile houses, potholed dirt playgrounds, deformed single and parallel bars, dilapidated basketball hoops, carports built of wood and iron plates, and even some classroom windows are still missing pieces of glass.
Although the conditions of rural middle schools in 2001 were generally poor, it is estimated that there are not many such times as Beishan Township Middle School.
Zhang Dongming said in his heart, no wonder he said that he wanted to go back to the city, no one who has studied in the city for so many years is not willing to come to such a poor country to be a teacher for a lifetime.
After turning around twice, there was nothing to see, and when he came to the principal's office, Gong Liguo was talking and laughing with a male teacher in his forties, and when he saw someone coming, the male teacher left.
"Yo!" Gong Liguo looked at him and said with a smile: "Your aunt let you wear it." ”
"Ahh Zhang Dongming spread his hands: "It's just that uncle, I wear this dress a little too old." ”
"The young ones are afraid of the old ones. Gong Liguo laughed: "Yes, it's a bit of a teacher, let's go, take you to your office." ”
The principal's office was at the back of the school, bypassing a row of bungalows, and Zhang Dongming followed Gong Liguo to the easternmost office.
There were six desks in the office, five of which had some books and materials on them, and there was nothing on the table near the south window, probably his desk.
At this time, there were four people in the office, two men and two women, drinking tea and chattering, and their voices were quite loud.
Seeing them come in, the four of them all looked this way, of course, their eyes fell more on Zhang Dongming.
Gong Liguo looked at the four of them and said with a smile: "Let me introduce to you, this is the new Chinese teacher in our school, Zhang Dongming." ”
I don't know if it's Gong Liguo's relationship, in short, these four people have a very good attitude, and they greeted Zhang Dongming very warmly, and he also responded with a smile one by one.
"When you first join the job, you must be humble and polite to others. ”
Gong Liguo and Sun Shufen reminded him several times during dinner yesterday, and Zhang Dongming said that he remembered it, although he knew how to deal with people better than the old couple.
After a simple greeting, Gong Liguo led Zhang Dongming to walk to one of the old men who was sloppy and full of alcohol: "This is Teacher Feng, now teaching Chinese in the second and fifth classes of junior high school, Teacher Feng is the most experienced teacher in our school, and he will retire in the summer. ”
Zhang Dongming naturally nodded yes, and chatted briefly for a while, but a few words of compliment, but obviously he was very useful to this old man, and his attitude towards Zhang Dongming was obviously much kinder than just now.
It's just that this old man's drunken smell really made Zhang Dongming a little unbearable, and he said in his heart how can he teach like this.
After that, Gong Liguo introduced him to the other three.
Another male teacher in his 40s, surnamed Bu, teaches Chinese in Class 1 and Class 2 of junior high school, and is also the head teacher of Class 1.
Among the two female teachers, one is in her thirties, with permed hair and a little black surnamed Wu, who teaches Chinese in the second, third and fourth classes of junior high school.
Another older, slightly bucktoothy female teacher, surnamed Fan, teaches English in classes 1, 2 and 3.
After this introduction, Zhang Dongming probably understood that the teachers in this office all teach Chinese and English to the second grade group, and Gong Liguo also told him last night that there are five classes in the second year of junior high school.
In this way, the teacher who was not in the office at this time should be teaching English in the second, fourth and fifth classes of junior high school.
Thinking like this, a female teacher with chalk dust in her right hand and an English textbook in her left hand walked in.
Zhang Dongming was stunned, and the female teacher was also stunned.
This female teacher, or this girl, is the girl who hit Zhang Dongming on a bicycle a few days ago.
"Do you know?" Gong Liguo also noticed the expressions of the two.
"Nope. Zhang Dongming smiled: "I happened to meet a few days ago. ”
Gong Liguo asked casually, and then said with a smile: "This is Teacher Tang, who is now teaching English in the second, fourth and fifth classes of junior high school, and is also the homeroom teacher of the fifth class." ”
After Gong Liguo finished introducing, the girl stretched out her hand generously and said, "Hello, Tang Wan." ”
Tang Wan......
Zhang Dongming felt that the name seemed a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally remembered it.
In ancient times, there was a famous talented woman named Tang Wan in the Southern Song Dynasty, and she also had a poignant love with the great poet Lu You.
Zhang Dongming looked at her.
White shirt, jeans, sneakers, simple ponytail......
And then it's still a small waist and long legs......
I didn't pay attention to it yesterday, but today Zhang Dongming found that this Tang Wan is not only in good shape, but also very good-looking.
Zhang Dongming also stretched out his hand and smiled: "Hello, Lu You." ”
Tang Wan was stunned for a moment, but after reacting, she obviously didn't believe it, looked at him, and then turned her head to look at Gong Liguo.
"Don't listen to this kid's. Gong Liguo glared at him, turned his head and smiled: "This is the new Chinese teacher, Zhang Dongming, who will take over from Teacher Feng to teach your class Chinese next semester." ”
Tang Wan was very happy, and said in her heart that it was finally here.
Teacher Feng, who is now teaching Chinese in their class, may be retiring because she is getting older, and her teaching level and teaching attitude are too much, and she often goes to class drunk.
She had already reacted many times in private, but after all, Teacher Feng's qualifications were there, and her Uncle Gong had nothing to do.
Since Uncle Gong confirmed to her two months ago that Teacher Feng would retire next semester, she has been looking forward to the new Chinese teacher.
Although this Zhang Dongming is a little too young, it is estimated that she has just graduated from college, but she is not the same.
Tang Wan looked at Zhang Dongming again and said generously, "Thank you for that day." ”
Zhang Dongming spread his hands and said, "You thanked you five or six times that day." ”
Tang Wan smiled and didn't say anything more.
Gong Liguo looked at the two of them and said to Zhang Dongming: "Teacher Tang, the head teacher, is very serious and responsible, and Chinese is also the main subject. ”
Zhang Dongming nodded yes, Gong Liguo smiled and didn't say anything more, and then went back after a few more words.
In the office, the chatter continued.
Although they are all teachers, it is obvious that Tang Wan has no common language with others, basically reading books and preparing for classes by herself, and occasionally talking to another teacher Fan who also teaches English.
As for Zhang Dongming, he is not familiar with everyone, so he honestly listens to what these people say, and occasionally when anyone asks him, he will reply with two sentences.
Then Zhang Dongming found that the content of these people's chatters was also very interesting.
From parents to international events, in short, the heel of the corner of the wall, some of them are called extensive, and that is called a gossip, but there is no content in school teaching.
Zhang Dongming listened and pondered in his heart, what are these teachers like when they teach?
