Zhu Yushen started the first class of the semester in the afternoon. After he stepped onto the pulpit, the class leader shouted and stood up, and more than forty students in Class Two (2) stood up and shouted in unison: Hello teacher!

Zhu Yu bit his lip deeply, this long-lost feeling made his nose sour and speechless. He had no choice but to press down with his hands and motioned for his classmates to sit down. He didn't want to take a new class in the first class. After this special winter vacation, he has learned a lot. He discussed with his classmates the relationship between study, life and personal background.

"In school, students from different backgrounds have the same learning opportunities, so everyone has to make the most of this condition," Zhu said. Because it's not the same when you go out into society. Nowadays, some situations, to paraphrase the popular phrase, are to fight for dad and mom. Therefore, you should compare yourself vertically, and you may have more opportunities in the future than not learning. If you compare horizontally with other classmates, it will not be comparable, and you can only sigh. ”

The students pricked up their ears to listen to his high arguments. These remarks are cutting-edge, real, and spark of advanced ideas that are hardly heard in the classes of other teachers. Because they either read from the book in a dead spirit, saying things that are false and insincere; Either dogmatically call people to rote memorization, engage in sea tactics, and have no vitality. It's no wonder that nowadays students don't want to go to class and don't like to study.

A few days later, on a bright spring morning, Zhu Yushen went to the town to buy vegetables after class. When passing by the faculty building, Hu Yuqin called him. She was drying her clothes on the wire in front of the building.

Hu Yuqin asked: "Yushen, what's the joy?" Look at your red face. ”

Zhu Yushen walked up to her and said, "Maybe I'm excited in class." Then he asked about her mother's condition.

Hu Yuqin said: "It's not a big deal, it's just a stone." Surgery was performed at the city hospital, and now my sister is taking care of her and will be discharged immediately. Alas, Yushen, I heard Aiyu say that you fell in love with the fifth sister in the Dahua store, right? ”

Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment, and thought: This Zhang Aiyu's mouth is so fast!

At this time, Hu Yuqin asked Zhu Yushen to help him carry the big towel blanket onto the wire. He didn't wait for Zhu Yushen to answer, and continued: "The fifth sister is not very good-looking. But she is very responsible, she is twenty-five years old, and she has never had a boyfriend. Now there are basically no girls who are so big and so innocent. For example, Xiao Xu, she is better looking than the fifth sister, but she talked about an older man, and you have no chance to chase her.

After I came back the day before yesterday, Aiyu told me that you had a crush on the fifth sister. I went to the shop opposite and talked to Dahua about it first. Dahua said that they had all seen you when they got the fabric that day. I asked the fifth sister in person, what is your impression of you? She smiled and nodded. I think the fifth sister is willing to get along with you. I discussed with Dahua that one day I would arrange for you to have a meal together, and it would be up to you to play later. But we'll do our best to make you a couple. ”

When Zhu Yushen heard these words, he was very moved, and said thank you repeatedly.

Hu Yuqin said: "It doesn't take much effort to be a matchmaker to help people match. If it happens, it's a good thing for both men and women. Don't forget about me when you get married. ”

Zhu Yushen claimed that he was, and then he went to the vegetable market. When he rode back and forth through Dahua clothing, he didn't dare to look inside, and rode over with his head down. When he came back from grocery shopping, he felt a little fever in his cheeks.

Since Hu Yuqin said that she would arrange the meeting for dinner, Zhu Yushen's mood has been restless, and he is a little absent-minded in doing anything. Especially when night falls, one of the teaching buildings of Youda has long been silent. In the distance, the warm and peaceful lights shine from the homes in the faculty building near the school gate. The sound of stir-frying, the sound of pots and bowls colliding, etc., can be faintly heard.

Zhu Yushen's next door also used to have an older male teacher, but he was transferred away last year. The last two were the school's warehouses. On the other side of the canal live a few single teachers such as Gu Mingxiu, and they are usually not very popular. They usually go home or stay with their male and female counterparts. But in the past few days, Gu Mingxiu's dormitory over there has been brightly lit up at night, and it is full of frolicking and slapstick inside and out. Her boyfriend's stout figure was glued to her almost all the time.

Zhu Yushen looked at the other side with deep eyes and ate his meal in a big gulp. He thought to himself: "What do you have to be frolicking, and soon I will have a mistress here!" We'll do some sensual moves for you to see! Don't think that it's hard for two people to talk about the object, as if you are a princess and a horse in the feudal era. Ignore other people and other things. After moving this thought, Zhu Yushen was in a whim and was in a hurry. He couldn't wait for Fifth Sister Xie to appear in this room immediately.

He secretly scolded: Abominable Hu Yuqin! It's been almost a week, why haven't you arranged for the two of you to eat together? Work efficiency is really low! After scolding like this, he laughed again, and felt that he was a little funny - he had waited for so many years, but he couldn't wait for these short days, and he was in a hurry, what kind of thing was it?

He lay down on the bed with his head in his hands, thinking that he had fulfilled the old saying: there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Young men in their twenties are eager to marry their wives right away. But except for the good conditions, the more you think about it, the more you think about it, the more you can't get it, because almost no one wants to help you. For example, virgin female classmates, female colleagues, etc., can be in frequent contact, and can also do some small actions. But one day when you really say that you want to marry her, whether she wants to or not, she is very likely to say, "You want to be crooked." I got along with you like this because we were classmates (colleagues) of each other. ”

This sentence is enough to knock a zealous person into an ice cellar. The game of hide and seek in love, similar to this, also consumes people's body and mind, and wastes time. For a person like Zhu Yushen, who cherishes time like gold and has to devote a lot of energy to literary creation in addition to teaching, he is very reluctant to waste it like this. So much so that he always failed in this regard, and at the age of twenty-seven he was still alone. In his situation, whether it is on the streets or in the countryside in Huangzhen, he has entered a dangerous age. If you don't pay attention for a while, you can slide it and it will be the year of standing, and it will basically be over.

The town and the countryside are not as good as the city. Nowadays, there are many leftover women in the city who are known as "female singles", and they can be matched with leftover men. And there are almost no leftover women in the countryside. There are hundreds of female families in the family, and the orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker still have a certain weight, forcing normal girls to marry before the age of twenty-five or sixteen. Only the mentally handicapped or crippled old girl could not marry for a while. But there are always enthusiastic people who match these old girls with those old bachelors in their thirties who have slipped on the side, and make do with it. It's better than "left" for a lifetime.
