Chapter 1 Lao He's English class
From the time the class bell rang until now, Zhao Zejun's whole person was in a trance. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The head teacher, Lao He, was doing an English reading comprehension analysis on the podium, and he didn't listen to a word.
There were old-fashioned ceiling fans hanging overhead, and there were 58 young teenagers in blue school uniforms in the classroom, desks covered with blue tablecloths, and a bottle of correction liquid with Chen Haonan's sticker on it...... Everything and everything illustrates the fact that I crossed by myself.
From 2016, I traveled back to the high school days in 2001, Yijiang No. 4 Middle School, senior high school class.
In 2016, Zhao Zejun was 32 years old.
Between the ages of 30 and 35, it is a hurdle for men. The ancients also said, "Thirty is a stand."
If you can stand, the second half of your life will be smooth, if you meet a nobleman, there is still the hope of turning a carp into a dragon; if you can't stand, the second half of your life may be like this, drifting with the flow, muddy, muddy, to put it nicely, it is called Lotte knowing fate, to put it bluntly, there is nothing to do.
Zhao Zejun was barely the kind of 'standing' in the eyes of ordinary people in his last life, with a house and a car, and he was also the vice president of a private company for energy films, which looked quite glamorous on the surface.
But only he knows what is behind the glamour, like all middle-aged men in their thirties, Zhao Zejun is actually very tired.
The house is mortgaged, the loan is enough to repay until retirement, the car belongs to the company, and he only has the right to use it, and he is often called by customers and the boss from a phone call from the bed in the middle of the night, acting as a driver.
The real boss of the company is a college classmate, relying on his father, who is the leader, to open this company, usually not in charge of things at all, playing games and traveling all day long, and the company is all taken care of by Zhao Zejun inside and out. To put it bluntly, 'Mr. Zhao' is a senior worker, with a salary not much higher than that of employees, he has to drink wine, work to do, and his face to see.
There is a lot of pressure at work, and there are a lot of worries at home. My father's health is not good, there are still a lot of debts at home, people in their early thirties, watching classmates and friends of the same age play soy sauce, Zhao Zejun has not even found a target so far.
It's strange to say, the conditions are not bad in all aspects, but I don't know why the relationship is always not smooth, and after graduation, I have been dealing with two or three intermittently without a problem.
Last week, I accompanied a client to Wudang Mountain to play, and an old Taoist priest on the top of the gold gave Zhao Zejun a hexagram.
"The pearl has been buried deep for a long time, and there is no light until now, when suddenly the wind blows the earth, and the nature is revealed again"
has been mixed in the society for a long time, dealing with people of three religions and nine streams, Zhao Zejun's attitude towards metaphysics has always been 'respect and distance, and leave it alone', but this time the hexagram is so beautiful that people who don't understand it at all can see that this is a great auspicious hexagram.
The pearl is covered with dust, and there is only one 'gale' missing.
The old Taoist priest smiled and accepted a sum of incense money, explaining that this 'gale' is either carried by nobles or a rare opportunity, as long as you grasp the opportunity, you will be rich and prosperous in minutes.
Whether there is a strong wind Zhao Zejun doesn't know, he estimates that the old Taoist priest will probably say this when he sees all the middle-aged men at the turning point of his life. However, these words do reflect an objective fact: the era of economic explosion and disorderly growth has passed, the social class is basically stereotyped, and no matter how hard ordinary people work hard for a lifetime, the upper limit of what they can achieve is actually limited.
Who knows, I haven't waited for the 'gale', but I have waited for the crossing.
The ballpoint pen circled on his fingers, and Zhao Zejun's heart churned, and his parents were afraid that they would go crazy if he crossed over like this...... It's a dog, I'm really a conscientious vice president, and I'm still worried about the company's affairs at this time?
Wait! Thinking about it, suddenly there was a pause in his hand, and the ballpoint pen stopped in his hand.
In 2001, real estate had not yet taken off, the network economy was just starting, and he was well aware of several major fluctuations in the stock market in the following ten years. Also, I grew up in Yijiang Mayor, and later went to school in the provincial capital, and after graduation, I ran around, which is the development and change process of the whole city and the whole province......
Now there are still 15 years before 2016, as long as we can seize one or two major opportunities, it is enough to surpass the struggle of the previous life and a half, and become a safe and stable rich man.
This is not only an opportunity, it is simply a diamond opportunity that no one can encounter in a lifetime, and it is even more advanced than the 'Great Reincarnation'.
What a magnitude 9 tornado!
With a flash of white light, half of the chalk head flew through most of the classroom, accurately smashing on Zhao Zejun's head, and Lao He's cold voice pulled Zhao Zejun back to reality from his beautiful vision for the future.
"Zhao Zejun, I've been distracted since the beginning of class, don't you think it's okay to take the college entrance examination? Get up and dictate the words!"
The seating order of high school is mainly based on height, Zhao Zejun, who is close to one meter eight, sits in the penultimate row, and the students in the first few rows turn their heads in unison, looking at them with seven points of sympathy and three points of schadenfreude.
Lao He is notoriously bad-tempered, the atmosphere of her English class has always been depressing, and some classmates who are more damaged scold Lao He behind her back, saying that she is menopause, and her psychology and physiology have begun to change. State. From the perspective of an adult, Zhao Zejun can understand Lao He, in the face of the college entrance examination after more than half a year, the pressure of the graduating class teacher is not understandable to ordinary people, plus because of menopause, it is strange that Lao He can have a good temper.
Having said that, if it weren't for the good foundation laid by Lao He's strict teaching in high school for several years, he would not have been able to successfully pass the fourth or sixth grades.
There are about more than 2,000 vocabulary required for college entrance examination English, Lao He made up these words in alphabetical order, and forced everyone in the class to memorize them from the second semester of the second semester of high school.
With a thirty-year-old mind, Zhao Zejun didn't feel so glassy because Lao He said 'get out' that his self-esteem was hurt, and of course, he would not be afraid of Lao He from the bottom of his heart like other classmates, and walked to the blackboard silently.
There are four unlucky people standing in front of the blackboard, Zhao Zejun is the first, and Lao He then begins to roll call.
"Xia Yubing ......"
Hearing this name, Zhao Zejun subconsciously turned his head.
has the same action as Zhao Zejun, as well as the remaining 33 male classmates in Class 1 of the third year of high school. The timid one tilted his head to peek at the girl's waist, and the bold one simply stared at the good-looking melon seed face with burning eyes.
Of course, there are also a few glances, unscrupulously glued to this girl's breasts that far exceed the size of her peers.
The class flower of high school, Xia Yubing's classmate.
A simple short-sleeved white shirt with a pale yellow dark flower on the collar, a button unbuttoned at the neckline, faintly revealing a small collarbone shape, and a pair of the most common jeans wrapped tightly around two long legs, outlining the S-shaped waist and hip curve.
This dress is so simple that it can't be more simple after more than ten years, but among the high school students who appeared in the school uniform in 2001, it definitely stands out from the crowd.
Compared with 17 and 8-year-old girls of the same age who are budding and waiting to be released, Xia Yubing belongs to the category that has fully grown. Throughout high school, male classmates who wrote her love letters combined were able to put together a soccer team, including a substitute.
Zhao Zejun secretly fantasized about Xia Yubing for a while, but he was very ordinary in all aspects at that time, and he didn't say a few words to Xia Yubing, and he was busy studying in the third year of high school, so he quickly forgot about this little feeling.
People have to be self-aware, don't provoke what they shouldn't provoke, don't force what they can't get, as long as they don't ask for trouble, most people can actually live well.
As far as he knew, Xia Yubing should not have been in love when he was in high school. After the college entrance examination, the two have never met again, but the legend of Xia Yubing has always been circulating in the rivers and lakes. Intermittently heard some news from her familiar classmates.
University flower, champion of the provincial college students' Latin dance competition, escort graduate students, directly entered the provincial company of the People's Bank of China after graduation, married to the president of the university student union who was already the deputy director of a certain department, and her husband was reported to be shuanggui, divorced, resigned and went to Goldman Sachs, and there was no news after going abroad.
"Broadcast ......"
"Data ......"
"Accountant ......"
"Acquaintance ......"
At the beginning of dictation, Lao He spoke Chinese, and those who were drawn to the stage to dictate wrote English in chalk.
These words are not difficult for Zhao Zejun, who has passed the sixth level in his previous life, and after being reborn, Zhao Zejun found that his brain seemed to have become very clear, and the things in his previous life were vivid, so he easily wrote these words.
Squinting at it, Xia Yubing's third word 'accountant' was written incorrectly, with a letter c missing in the middle, and the fourth word acquaintance, he only wrote a few letters of acqua and stopped, biting his lip slightly, obviously forgetting how to write it later.
Of the four people who came on stage to dictate, only Xia Yubing was stuck in this word, Lao He made a straight face and recited "acquaintance" again.
The chalk head in Xia Yubing's hand clicked twice on the blackboard, but it still didn't come out.
Lao He waited for a few more seconds, snorted, and said in front of the whole class: "What's the use of a girl being beautiful? ! Let me tell you, if you don't study hard and can't get into a good university, you will have to eat in the future! Not only Xia Yubing, but you too!"
In the eyes of the menopausal woman Lao He, a woman's beauty is an original sin, and she will definitely become a fox spirit in the future, and she is destined to seduce a man to be a junior Xiaomi, so although Xia Yubing's grades are very good, she is not treated by Lao He.
Xia Yubing bit her lip and didn't speak, her face was ugly, and her lips were pale. I don't know if it's uncomfortable, or if it's angry with the old man.
Maybe both.
"The next word, civilization. Lao He continued to report.
This time, Xia Yubing only wrote a starting letter c and stopped, the chalk in his hand poked a few times on the blackboard, wrote a string of 'civ', thought about it, erased it and wrote 'cvi' again, looked at it, still couldn't be sure, and erased another letter V.
Zhao Zejun shook his head secretly, although Xia Yubing was not considered a school bully in high school, his grades were also among the best in the whole grade, how did he play abnormally today, could it be that his relatives came?
He wrote a line of letters 'civilization' on the blackboard and coughed softly.
Xia Yubing subconsciously glanced to the left.
Dictation, of course, is not allowed to peek, and students of this age generally have a strange mentality, although there is no substantial benefit, and they do not want others to copy themselves, so the words are generally written relatively small, and some people deliberately hide it.
For example, the boy with glasses on Xia Yubing's right hand, seeing that Xia Yubing couldn't write, turned sideways to block the blackboard on his side.
But it's not hard to really want to peek. The distance between everyone on the podium is only twenty or thirty centimeters, and if you tilt your head slightly and sneak a glance, you can see what others have written, and the reason for cheating in exams is that the key is to be bold and careful.
What's more, Zhao Zejun deliberately wrote the letters very large, each letter is the size of a fist, making it like writing a blackboard newspaper title, and it is difficult to see it.
Xia Yubing suddenly understood, stared at Zhao Zejun's side face for two seconds, and quickly 'copied' the word.
The entire dictation took less than ten minutes, a total of twenty words, judging from the number of times Xia Yubing moved her gaze, Zhao Zejun estimated that at least seven or eight copies were copied for her.
Zhao Zejun wrote all of them correctly, so Xia Yubing also wrote them all correctly, and the other two students each wrote three words wrong, several of these words are not in the textbook, and the English level of Class 1 is not bad.
After dictation, Lao He asked Xia Yubing and the other two classmates to return to their seats, leaving Zhao Zejun alone on the podium.
"It's all written out, not bad. Lao He said with a smile.
"It's all the teachers who teach well. Zhao Zejun said with a smile.
"Teacher, how can I teach you well?" Lao He rolled his eyelids, pointed to the door of the classroom, and said coldly: "Go to the door of the classroom and stand." ”
Corporal punishment and disguised corporal punishment were still very common in second- and third-tier cities in 01 years, and the punishment of two sentences of punishment or something, from school leaders, to teachers, and even parents of students, did not think there was any problem.
"Ah?" Zhao Zejun was slightly stunned, what is this, you don't need to punish the station if you write it wrong, I write it all, but I want to punish the station?
Lao He casually glanced at Xia Yubing, who had returned to his seat, and said unhurriedly: "Ask you to come up and dictate, and blatantly cheat in front of me?" In this way, give you a chance to confess, if you take the initiative to report someone copying you, you don't have to take responsibility, go back and sit, and the person who copied you will go out and stand. Otherwise, you will go out and be punished. ”
