Chapter 15 The Road to Heaven
Li Mingfeng feels that there are always all kinds of coincidences and encounters in life, of course, there are surprises, in her bumpy years of more than 50 years, she has seen countless geniuses and all kinds of different ages, after graduating from college, she was sent to the countryside, and she has not returned to her hometown for 35 years, but it is not easy to settle down in this small county.
As an English teacher in the county No. 1 middle school, she knows how difficult it is for students to learn English in this era, not that there are no conditions but that they can't find a suitable teacher, this kind of talent and its lack of talent, most of the English teachers who have learned English have been accepted by enterprises or some units, few English teachers are willing to stay in the school to teach, if they didn't break their dreams in that era, maybe they wouldn't be what they are today.
Today was originally the last day of the summer vacation, as the leader of the English research group and the leader of the academic affairs office of Wannan No. 1 Middle School, she was not only responsible for the English teaching task of the entire No. 1 Middle School, but also studied the county's English teaching plan.
She was not like those who watched the excitement, but knew that the young man in front of her, who called her old friend, was indeed proficient in English, and it was extremely authentic American English, and he was extremely proficient in speaking, at least the thick general history of the world in his hand should not be difficult for him.
It is really rare to hide such a genius-like teenager in this backward town, and I have a feeling of cherishing talents in my heart.
"You little hairy man, I just let you out, and you don't thank me?"
Born in a big city, Li Mingfeng is not as rigid as an ordinary rural teacher, but on the contrary, he has a great sense of humor, which is not about his age, but because of his natural surname.
Looking at the female teacher in front of him, Zhang Zhenyi seemed to want to laugh, he was lucky, he could meet a county No. 1 middle school casually, but in an instant, he understood that this teacher was the principal of No. 1 Middle School in his previous life, and now it seems that he has not been the principal, he should be the director of the Academic Affairs Office, and he is also responsible for the county's English teaching tasks.
"Thank you, Mr. Li!"
Gently thanked him, his eyes fell on the book in his hand, in the young man's heart, although he knew that this teacher Li would have a lot of influence in the future, but he didn't want to use his little selfishness on a people's teacher with a gentle surname and a kind heart.
"Kid, what's your name and what school did you go to?"
It's just that things don't seem to be as I imagined, this teacher Li seems to have some meaning to get to the bottom of the matter, behind the black-framed reading glasses, the pair of smart and somewhat fascinating eyes are flashing with a kind light, which makes people can't bear to refuse.
"Teacher Li, my name is Zhang Zhenyi, I just graduated from primary school, and I will be a student in the first class of the experimental middle school from tomorrow."
"Oh? Just graduated from elementary school? It seems that you are really a child, looking at your size, I thought you were a junior high school graduating class or a high school child, but I thought wrong, I went to sign up today. ”
Li Mingfeng was surprised again in her heart, the teenager in front of her was just a first-year junior high school student who had just graduated from elementary school, and if she knew that the teenager would only graduate from the fourth grade, she would probably be even more surprised.
"Really a kid, I think your English is pretty good, can you read all the words in this book? Where did you learn? ”
Pointing to the original English version of the "General History of the World" in the young man's hand, the old man asked curiously.
In the era of the Internet explosion in the previous life, netizens said "Don't pretend to be a fork in everything, and the fork will be struck by lightning", Zhang Zhenyi has now thought that he will really get into trouble again, but he doesn't want to refuse the old teacher in front of him.
"Well, I should be able to understand everything, I read a book at home that is poorer than this, I basically know all the words in it, only some special nouns may not know, this is what I learned by reading my uncle's book. My uncle graduated from Jiangnan University. ”
"I see, it seems that your uncle is a talented man, he can be admitted to the best comprehensive surname university in the province, and he can also teach such a smart nephew, hehehe!"
The hearty laughter spread from the old teacher's mouth, and the people around him looked sideways, no one knew how this teacher Li, who had always been kind but silent, could talk to such a small child quite speculatively.
"Hey, hey! Thank you Mr. Li for the compliment, but I'm not a genius, I'm just an ordinary student, in fact, other people can learn English, but they haven't learned it. ”
Zhang Zhenyi wondered if he was being stupid by the heat, and he was pretending to be cute and stupid with the teacher in front of him, although he is now a teenager, but his heart is strong enough to be comparable to this teacher, and the combined age of the two lives is almost more than forty.
"At a young age, I still know modesty, but I am a good seedling. Children should study hard, and they must come to No. 1 Middle School to study in the future, Mr. Li will leave a seat for you, and there will be nothing to come to the teacher's house to play after Sunday, my home is in No. 1 Middle School, you can just ask. ”
Zhang Zhenyi never thought that he was just reborn once and he had the spirit of a king, but the kindness of the old man in front of him seemed to be a little excessive, and he asked a primary school student to visit him when he first met, which seemed a little unprepared.
"Well, thank you, Mr. Li, I will visit you when I have time."
In the gray era, there was no entertainment, in the previous life, there were many Internet cafes KTV restaurants and tea houses all over the entire Guangming Street, but now it seems to be depressed, around the entire county very quickly shopping, Zhang Zhenyi began to walk back slowly, in the tail of summer, the sky is dark and not very fast, this era of no nightlife, the whole street soon fell into a darkness, occasionally a little light.
"Uncle, open the door! I'm Shinichi I'm back! ”
With a squeak, the simple wooden door opened, revealing the tired figure of the young man, whose face seemed to have some tears undried, and his eyes were slightly red.
From entering the door to taking a shower and going to bed after eating, Zhang Zhenyi did not take the initiative to ask his uncle Runping what happened, as if he did not know, in the nineties when there was no noise, this summer night was quiet and a little difficult to sleep, tossing and turning on the hard wooden bed, and it was difficult to sleep all night.
"Shinichi, you signed up today, can you go to school by yourself tomorrow, I'm going out to find something to do in the morning, and I quarreled with the proprietress in the afternoon, and she doesn't want me to do it there."
It's not a good thing.
The young man muttered to himself, but even if he thought of the plan in his heart, could it be that God was like this, he just met the director of the academic affairs office today, and his little uncle was fired immediately, and it seems that his uncle Runping still has hope.
"Little uncle, let me tell you one thing, do you agree?"
On this night in the nineties, the boy began to show his long-planned ambitions, and the protagonist of the plan was confused and didn't know why.
"It's not a bad thing, I promise you, you say, it's something."
Liu Runping thought that his little nephew was just a child's surname, and he wanted something to eat or have fun, but then he was so shocked by the tone of the young man that he couldn't speak.
"I'm going to let you go to school in the county No. 1 middle school, as for the relationship, I just met Teacher Li from the Academic Affairs Office of No. 1 Middle School, she should agree to help, the tuition matter, it's like this--"
The young man half-truthfully told how he had dug up the gold ingots in the first place, but in his mouth, he had dug it up unintentionally, not a long-planned ambitious action.
"You say—you said you picked up four gold ingots? Shinichi, you're not lying, right, why didn't you tell your grandparents about such a big thing? ”
When the eastern horizon began to slowly turn white, and I don't know whose rooster crows began to rise and fall with each other, the two gradually fell asleep, their faces full of smiles.
In this exciting time, things will always be unexpected, and when a door is closed, don't be discouraged because there is still a window open for you.
