Chapter 11.Day before night
"Hello everyone...... I'm Zhu Ziyan from Class 23 of the first year of high school, I ...... "As soon as Ziyan's clear and agile voice came out, the commotion in the audience where the class representatives were brought out by the other contestants slowly subsided, and everyone seemed to want to quietly listen to what kind of beautiful words such a beautiful voice would say next. However, after waiting for five seconds, there was no sound in the stereo, and the audience was dumbfounded.
Zhu Ziyan stood on the podium with a flushed face, her hand holding the microphone trembling.
"I ...... Coming from the 23rd class of the first year of high school, Goethe once said: Don't have small dreams, because they are not enough to move people's hearts. Well...... In high school, I am willing to give better use of my abilities, and I hope that everyone will believe in me and give me this opportunity to show my abilities. Thank you. β
She spoke very quickly, and she didn't stop after speaking, and walked off the stage with her head down.
is completely different from the speech that Xia Zhi polished for her before, except for the famous sentence that has not changed, Zhu Ziyan is all improvised, and even forgot to introduce her own strengths and the position she wants to run for.
********************
Although the results of the election will not be announced until after the monthly examination 10 days later, the results of such fierce competition seem to have been exhausted. The failure of this speech, without any suspense, once again gave Zhu Ziyan a heavy blow.
In this day's Chinese class, Teacher Qing is using slides to talk about the last lesson of the first unit of compulsory one, Ai Qing's poem "Dayan River - My Nanny". When I read through the whole poem, I noticed Zhu Ziyan who was sloppy and depressed, so he suddenly stopped, frowned, sighed, and called softly: "Ziyan? β
Zhu Ziyan suddenly came back to her senses, as if she had been struck by lightning, and then her cheeks turned red, biting her lip, and her expression was very tense.
"Hey, don't be nervous, it's nothing, the teacher just wants to ask for your opinion, I heard Teacher Liu say that you sing very well, your voice is very clear, and your feelings are also very abundant, so this time I don't plan to read it by myself like before, I want to ask you to give a demonstration to the students to read this touching text, okay?"
Xia Zhi applauded quietly in her heart, not only did Elder Qing not add fuel to the fire, but also understood how to send charcoal in the snow. She has always been a little worried, how can Ziyan be in such a state to meet the first grade unified examination that is coming after the National Day? I have a headache, but I can only chat with her and have fun, hoping to relieve it a little.
That's right, what Zhu Ziyan needs most now is confidence. Although she didn't know whether Elder Qing meant this, as soon as she remembered that the Elder Qing had appeared as an invited guest that day, she suddenly felt a little more determined, and a warm current surged in her heart.
Zhu Ziyan slowly stood up in the face of Teacher Qing's gentle and encouraging expectant gaze, looked at her happily and suspiciously, and then, nodded back with a "good", thanked her for her encouragement, cleared her voice, picked up the textbook and began to read aloud.
"The Great Weir River β my nanny.
The big weir river is my nanny.
Her name is the name of the village that gave birth to her,
She is a child bride,
Big weir river, was my nanny ......"
When reading the title, Zhu Ziyan's voice was a little empty, after all, she was frightened, and she didn't ease up for a while, but when she read the "name of the village", everyone could obviously feel that a stream of air that had swirled in her throat and eyes before suddenly sank into the dantian.
There was a slight commotion in the classroom, and I heard some people whispering exclamations, and the voice that was free for her to retract and let go was full of emotion, and the voice that pierced her heart for this penetrating power.
"I looked at my unfamiliar sister in my mother's arms,
I sat on a painted kang stool with a fire bowl,
I ate rice with white rice milled three times,
But, I'm so uneasy!
Because I
I became a new guest in my parents' house......"
When she read this, her voice was filled with sadness and helplessness, perhaps because she also had her own sadness, her own helplessness, although different roots and different origins, but the feelings in the world are all like this, no matter what reason it is, after all, in the end they are all the same or similar names and feelings. That's why there is a saying that "all scenery is a love language", so there is a rhetorical device of "synaesthesia", so that the present and the ancients can have a mind that transcends time and space.
So Zhu Ziyan made everyone feel the real sadness, not the pretentious pretense.
Xia Zhi's nose was a little sour.
********************
The moment the last sentence was read, the class erupted in thunderous applause, and several boys screamed with their hands in the shape of a trumpet.
Zhu Ziyan showed a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time.
Although it was fleeting, it was still very pleased to be captured by Teacher Qing, she motioned to the whole class to be quiet, and couldn't help but sigh a few words, "The boys in our class feel immature enough, too naΓ―ve, especially the one who made a strange voice just now, how old are you?" She smiled helplessly and shook her head, and then cut to the chase, "Okay, very good, Zhu Ziyan gave us a very good demonstration today, let me tell you, reading aloud is like this, especially the "Rain Alley" read by the boys I smoked before, look at the gap, it's like the lilac girl owes you money." β
There were a few boys in the audience who laughed, causing laughter, and they didn't care about the old man's anger, a boy leaned over and looked at Zhu Ziyan with a look on his face.
Zhu Ziyan was a little embarrassed, and sat down slowly with a red face and pursed her lips. Elder Qing smiled at her again and began to appreciate the content.
When she sat down, Zhu Ziyan quietly looked back at Xia Zhi, just in time to meet her shining eyes. Xia Zhi gave her a thumbs up, and Zi Yan stretched her eyebrows again.
********************
It's the last day before the National Day, and there's no big news in a math class.
"Class!"
"Stand up...... Salute...... Hello Teacher! β
"Do it all over again!"
"Salute! Hello Teacher! β
"Come again!"
"Hello teacher! Yes! It was the boys by the window again, and the already abrupt voice that was shouting at the top of their throats suddenly broke, causing the audience to laugh. Teacher Liu's face was full of black lines.
"You guys, I'm not talking about you, even if it's the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, everyone is not familiar with it when school starts, and it's the most basic thing to say hello on Teacher's Day, and it's about to be over something, don't you understand it!"
β...... Salute! Happy Holidays Teacher! β
"It's pretty much the same, really, National Day is the happiest day...... Oh...... The third time in class 16 of people understood, and it took four times for your class...... Eh, see a new lesson! β
Xia Zhi blush.
After experiencing this incident, the students seem to have a heart, and they will say hello to Liu Lao whenever they encounter festivals in the future, except for the Qingming Festival. Later, it intensified, and everyone played more and more energetically, such as Women's Day, 3.12 Arbor Day, 3.15 Consumer Rights Day, May Fourth Youth Day, Children's Day, and Double Ninth Festival...... It's a festival. Liu Lao was at a loss, and after a long time, they would go.
"Okay, good, happy Women's Day, students!"
"Okay, everyone wants to be green today!"
"I don't sell fakes, you wish me a happy holiday?!"
......
********************
The seven days of National Day are coming as promised, but everyone can't be happy. Mountains of homework, frightening monthly exams, no one dares to really play.
"Hey, Xia Zhi, how is the National Day arranged, do you want us to go to the newly opened resort!" There was an excited voice from the mobile phone.
Xia Zhi frowned.
"Crooked? Have you finished your homework? β
"Not yet, I didn't want to go, but guess who asked me out!"
