Chapter 26: Societies
"What?! Want to test?! ā
The homeroom teacher of Class 3 is a female teacher in her thirties, who teaches English, because she has studied abroad, she dresses very fashionably, speaks humorously, and gets along well with the students in the class, so when the homeroom teacher announces the mock test next Monday, the students in the class all wail.
"Teacher, why didn't you say it earlier, you have to take the exam just after the military training, and you won't give us a few days to review."
"That's right, what if I fail the exam? If the average grade is not as good as the other three classes, you will be disgraced by us, teacher. ā
ā¦ā¦
The head teacher smiled and listened to the complaints of the students below, "Are you finished?" ā
Everyone in the audience was suddenly silent.
Seeing that no one answered her, the head teacher continued: "After you finish speaking, it's my turn to say, first, this test was temporarily decided by the leaders above, and the teacher has just received a notice, and you haven't reviewed other classes as well, so don't be nervous." Second, after your military training, the school's club activities have also begun to recruit new students, and you can choose the club you are interested in to join, but-" Speaking of this, the head teacher's voice lengthened, and the hearts of everyone in the audience also tightened.
After a pause, the head teacher glanced at the classmates before saying: "I build yƬ you just choose a club, if you join two or three clubs, you will be too busy, and when the study task is heavy in the second year of high school, club activities will only become a burden for you, the school set up club activities to relieve pressure for everyone, and should not become a burden on the students, so you should seriously think about what the teacher said today when you join the club." Alright, now it's your turn to ask. ā
After a minute of silence, Huang Lang stood up and asked, "Teacher, is there any credit for joining the club?" ā
The head teacher nodded, "There will be a credit plus every semester, are there any other questions to ask?" ā
Some students shook their heads, and after a while, seeing that no one stood up and asked questions, the head teacher said: "Next, we will choose class cadres, and the principle of volunteerism is that whoever wants to become a member of the class cadres can stand up and run." The head teacher stepped out of the way.
"Teacher, I'm coming!" A boy stood up and said.
The head teacher nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "Come up and tell me what position you want to run for, don't forget to introduce yourself, so that the classmates in the class can get to know you." ā
The boy has thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, and he still loves to laugh, and when he laughs, he shows a mouthful of white teeth, "My name is Chen Bin, I studied in junior high school, I have been the class president for three years in junior high school, and I have a lot of experience in managing classes, so this time I am still running for the position of class president, I hope my classmates can support me." ā
As soon as Chen Bin finished speaking, the head teacher took the lead in clapping, and the students below also clapped their hands.
With Chen Bin taking the lead, the students below all stood up to run for class cadres. Zhou Tingting asked Chen Lan, "Aren't you a cadre on duty?" ā
Chen Lan touched his chin and said, "Can I run for group leader?" ā
Zhou Tingting glanced at her, "You have this ambition." ā
Chen Lan smiled, "I'm joking, why don't you run for the English class representative, my English is not bad." "And the head teacher is also an English teacher, so it's easy to discuss anything after you have a good relationship with the head teacher.
Zhou Tingting hesitated a little, "I want to run for the study committee." ā
"Come on! I'm sticking with you. Chen Lan cheered Zhou Tingting under the table.
Zhou Tingting's personality is more introverted, because of her good grades, she has been a member of the study committee for three years in junior high school, which was imposed on her by the head teacher, so Chen Lan was quite surprised when she heard Zhou Tingting say that she was going to run for class cadres, but Chen Lan's expression was well hidden, and Zhou Tingting did not notice it.
The classmates in the class who want to run for class cadres have almost come to the stage to speak, and when it was Zhou Tingting's turn, Zhou Tingting was still a little timid, and her throat couldn't help but tremble, and the students in the audience all felt Zhou Tingting's nervousness, and no one laughed at it.
When Zhou Tingting walked off the stage after speaking, her legs were still a little trembling, she pressed her violently beating heart, and exhaled softly.
When voting, Chen Lan voted for Zhou Tingting, and finally elected the squad leader Chen Bin, and the deputy squad leader was Huang Lang.
When choosing a class representative, Chen Lan took the initiative to stand up and said, "Teacher, I want to run for the English class representative." ā
The head teacher still has an impression of Chen Lan, the girl who scored a perfect score in the high school entrance examination, the head teacher asked the rest of the class, "Is there anyone else who wants to run for the representative of the English class?" ā
The classmates in the class shook their heads, the other class cadres were nothing, and the words of the class representative were still forgotten.
"If not, then Chen Lan will be the representative of the English class."
In the end, almost half of the students in the class became class cadres, and Xiao Shuzhen also served as the representative of the Chinese class as she wished.
After the first class meeting of high school, Zhou Tingting lay on the table and smirked, "I was scared to death just now, I was so nervous that I couldn't speak, why aren't you nervous at all?" ā
Chen Lan touched her head, and almost blurted out "I won't be nervous if I get used to it", after thinking about it, Chen Lan said: "I'm also quite nervous, but I'm thick-skinned, you can't see it, as long as we deal with teachers and classmates more, we won't be nervous on the podium in the future." ā
It is normal for students to be afraid of teachers, Chen Lan used to be nervous and trembling when he was called to the podium to do a topic, but later when he went to college, he came into contact with more people, and his horizons were broadened, and his courage gradually became bigger. After coming out of work, she also quarreled with her boss and slapped the table, but now facing the teacher, Chen Lan really can't feel afraid.
Chen Lan's comfort poked Zhou Tingting's heart, "Okay, let's work together in the future." ā
After school at 5 o'clock, booths were set up on the school road from the teaching building in the middle district to the canteen in the south district, and the seniors of the second year of high school sent leaflets to recruit new people from the club.
Huang Lang didn't know where to go after class, Xiao Shuzhen stayed in the classroom to read, and Zhang Siqi wanted to go back to the dormitory, so Chen Lan, Zhou Tingting and Yu Xiaowei went to the cafeteria to eat. Halfway through, they were dazzled by a variety of new recruitment leaflets, and several people couldn't open their legs.
Zhou Tingting was moved, and asked Chen Lan and Yu Xiaowei, "What club do you want to apply for?" ā
Chen Lan's gaze passed through the various clubs, and finally fell on the boy who played the violin, the boy was wearing a white shirt, looking clear and delicate, and when he played the violin sideways, he looked like a noble son who was not stained with dust and smoke.
"That's the orchestra, right?" Zhou Tingting asked.
"Well, I want to report to the orchestra." Chen Lan smiled lightly, then strode towards the orchestra's booth, and turned back as he walked, "I'll go over and have a look first, remember to call me when you leave." ā
Because the boys playing the violin attracted a lot of onlookers, Chen Lan almost couldn't squeeze into the orchestra's booth. The queue was already lined up in front of the booth, and several seniors answered the questions of the freshmen in an orderly and patient manner.
When it was Chen Lan's turn, a senior sister wearing glasses smiled and asked, "Senior sister, do you want to join our club?" ā
"Yes, I want to join the band." There are many types of orchestras, and school clubs mainly include wind bands and string bands, and wind bands refer to bands composed of wind instruments, such as trumpet, tuba, and saxophone. A string orchestra is an orchestra composed of stringed instruments, such as the violin and cello.
Senior sister seemed to be a little surprised, Chen Lan would know the classification of band and string band, "Have you ever joined a band before?" ā
Chen Lan: "No, I haven't touched these before. ā
The senior sister asked again: "Do you know how to read staves?" Do you have a good instrument? ā
"I know notation, but I haven't learned an instrument, but I'll learn it seriously."
Senior Sister was a little sorry, "That's it......" Senior Sister wanted to say that the orchestra does not recruit newcomers who can't play musical instruments, but when she met Chen Lanliang's eyes like longing, Senior Sister's words were swallowed again when they reached her mouth, and the god sent the ghost to take out the registration form and give it to Chen Lan, "You fill out a form first, and I will notify you of the interview when the time comes." ā
Chen Lan quickly filled out the form, and carefully verified it again before handing it to the other party, "Thank you, senior sister." ā
Seeing that the senior sister was smiling and her eyes were bent, the senior sister couldn't help but smile back to the other party, "Come on, senior sister!" I hope to be a member of our Wind Ensemble. ā
Chen Lan left the orchestra's booth with brisk steps, recalling that in her previous life, she didn't even have the opportunity to interview, because her family was poor, Chen Lan had never touched musical instruments since she was a child, and she didn't have such a great desire for musical instruments at that time. Later, at a welcome party, the performance of the wind ensemble deeply shocked Chen Lan.
Among them, the performance of the short-haired and handsome little drummer made Chen Lan more and more determined to join the wind orchestra, but when he saw the orchestra's request for new flyers, Chen Lan was too timid to even dare to sign up. After going to college, I was busy working part-time everywhere, and the grades of my major courses every semester were floating low, let alone joining clubs.
Chen Lan felt that she must have saved the earth in her previous life, otherwise she would not have been reborn to the age of fifteen, and she would have the opportunity to walk the road of life again, this time she would complete the regrets left over one by one.
The next day was Friday, and since there was no holiday for seven consecutive days of military training, the school arranged for the senior students to attend only half a day of class on Friday of this week, and they could go home after school at noon.
After school at noon, Chen Lan used the dormitory's public phone to call home, but the phone rang for a long time and no one answered. Chen Lan was vaguely uneasy, and the skin on her right side seemed to respond to her uneasy feelings, and jumped wildly.
If Chen's mother would be at home at this time, Chen Lan comforted her mother that she might have gone out to buy something. After packing up a few textbooks to take home, Chen Lan dialed home again uneasily.
This time, Chen's mother quickly answered the phone, "Big brother, are you here?" Through the microphone, Chen Lan could also feel that Chen's mother was flustered and on the verge of collapse at this moment.
"Mom, it's me, what's going on?" Chen Lan hurriedly asked.
"Lan Lan ......" Chen's mother choked up as she covered her mouth, "Your cousin has an accident." ā
