Chapter 44: Master Teacher
According to the agreement, Li Nan walked out of the back door of the electronics factory at 10 o'clock in the morning on Wednesday, and then crossed the road and walked a short distance to the west to the gate of the Donghu District Amateur Sports School. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He explained his intention to the janitor and walked straight in.
There are training grounds on both sides of the road inside the gate, and after walking about a hundred meters, a bungalow area appears on the left side of the road. There are classrooms and management rooms, and the leftmost row of bungalows is the management room. On the top of the third door of this row of bungalows hangs an aluminum alloy sign, on which are written the words "Training Department". Li Nan knocked on the door three times, heard a shout from inside, pushed the door and walked in.
The room was simply furnished, with four tables clustered together on the inside, each with a chair next to it, three of which were empty, and a middle-aged woman sitting on the outer chair on the left. Seeing a stranger coming in, she stood up and said politely, "What is the matter with you?" ”
"I'm signing up my kids for a training class." Li Nan explained the intention.
"Attending a training class?" The middle-aged woman repeated, "I'm really sorry, all of our training courses have already closed for registration, and all the places are full, so you can only wait for the next one if you want to register." ”
Li Nan's heart was cold, and he looked at the middle-aged woman suspiciously: "When will you sign up for the next term?" ”
"I have to wait after the Spring Festival next year, and I will see the announcement when the specific time comes." The middle-aged woman said unhurriedly. Seeing that Li Nan was a little confused, she asked again, "What class do you want to enroll in?" ”
"Tai Chi class." Li Nan opened his mouth and came out.
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Tai Chi class is our most popular class, and the quota will be full on the day of registration, so you have to come early next time you want to sign up." ”
Li Nan was a little surprised: "I really didn't expect that a small Tai Chi class would be so popular, and it was not easy to sign up." There are people teaching Tai Chi everywhere in the park, why is it so difficult for you to sign up? ”
Hehehehe, the middle-aged woman smiled, she looked at Li Nan and said, "It seems that you really don't know!" We are teaching pure Chen's Taijiquan, and the park is pure simplified Taijiquan, and the two are not the same level at all. At the very least, we are Tai Chi masters, and what we teach in the park is a little better than radio gymnastics. Do you think it can be the same? ”
Oh, I see! Hearing this, Li Nan understood.
Before Li Nan could speak, the middle-aged woman said: "Besides, our teachers here are not the same as the teachers in the park, we are taught by famous experts in the country, and it is difficult to say what kind of teachers teach in the park." ”
"What you say makes sense," Li Nan agreed with her, "As soon as you say that, I will understand that learning Tai Chi in our place is authentic." ”
The middle-aged woman smiled, and then continued: "I'm not trying to hit your emotions, if you learn Tai Chi here, if you don't have any martial arts foundation, you won't accept it!" Has your child ever learned martial arts before? ”
Li Nan shook his head and said, "No, this is the first time. ”
"Then you still don't sign up," the middle-aged woman said with a regretful expression, "Even if you come to sign up, you won't accept it." Because this is not a Tai Chi popularization class, but an improvement class, how can you improve if you don't have a little martial arts foundation? ”
"Then why don't you run a popular class?" Li Nan wanted to know why.
"There is no other reason, mainly because we are all senior teachers, and we generally do not teach general classes. Another one, if there are more people running popularization classes, we will not have enough land. The middle-aged woman explained.
"I got it all this time! But what if my child wants to learn Tai Chi? ”
"This is also easy to do," the middle-aged woman came up with the idea, "from now on, let your children learn the basic skills of martial arts quickly, and they can come and sign up after the Spring Festival next year." ”
Li Nan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But Mr. Chen didn't say this that day, and he asked me to sign up on Wednesday." ”
"Teacher Chen, which Teacher Chen?" The middle-aged woman asked.
"It's Teacher Chen Tianxun!" Li Nan said Teacher Chen's name.
"He's the principal of our amateur sports school." The middle-aged woman looked at Li Nan with a hint of blame in her eyes, "What did Principal Chen tell you?" ”
"So he's the principal!" Li Nan was a little proud, "He didn't say anything, just said that I would sign up today." ”
The middle-aged woman suddenly became polite, pointed to the chair across the table and said, "Then please take a seat!" Let me check, what is your last name? As he spoke, he picked up the telephone microphone on the table, pressed four buttons, and put the microphone to his ear to look at Li Nan.
"My name is Li Nan."
The middle-aged woman heard the other party's answer and said, "Principal Chen, I'm Xiao Zhu." There was a man named Li Nan who came to sign up for the child to learn Tai Chi, and he said that you asked him to come! Oh, oh, well! Then I'll go through the formalities for him! Good, good! She put down the phone and said to Li Nan, "Hey, you didn't say it earlier, if you said it earlier, it's all done for you now!" As she spoke, she sat down in her chair and took out an invoice from a drawer, "Three thousand yuan for tuition." ”
Li Nan took out 3,000 yuan from his coat pocket and handed it to Teacher Zhu and said, "Thank you!" Mr. Zhu, no matter what, this thing is still done! ”
"Thank you for something, now those who come to sign up are all specially approved, and we don't dare to let any of them go. You're blessed! The principal gave you a special approval. Teacher Zhu put a wad of money on the money detector and went through it, then handed the invoice to Li Nan, and gave Li Nan a training card, "The child will come at nine o'clock in the morning next Saturday and gather at the training ground." Take this card to enter the gate and the training ground. ”
"Let me ask, who is this Tai Chi teacher?" Li Nan was a little uneasy.
"It's Principal Chen!" Teacher Zhu said happily, "He is now leading two classes, one for minors and one for adults, both of which he teaches personally. ”
"He's the headmaster, does he have that much time?" Li Nan seems to want to know more.
"He's not only a principal but also a special teacher, so he never stops teaching. The classes he has led have all been very good, and many of them have won rankings in national and provincial competitions. There are also those who don't get a place, because they don't compete or don't continue to practice. ”
"Then Principal Chen is really good at teaching!" Li Nan sighed.
"Think about it, he is a judge at all levels of competitions, he knows where to pay attention to what, where to add points, where to subtract points, so can the students he teach not get high scores!" Teacher Zhu seemed to feel that this was a bit inappropriate, so he hurriedly made up for it, "Whenever his students participate in competitions, he takes the initiative to avoid them, and never scores the students he has taught in official competitions." ”
What an upright man! Li Nan secretly admired in his heart. Then he asked: "I heard that his hometown is from Chenjiagou, Henan?" ”
"It's not just Chen Jiagou!" Teacher Zhu seems to know a lot, "Now it is said that the inventor of Chen's Taijiquan is called Chen Wangting, and it is said that his ancestor and Chen Wangting are the same grandfather, and the martial arts master is the same person, so his Taijiquan is the true inheritance!" She glanced at Li Nan, "This time you can understand why the class he teaches is so popular!" ”
"And how old is Principal Chen this year?" Li Nan asked.
"I'm fifty years old this year." Teacher Zhu said very affirmatively.
"It's the right year! The golden age of life. Li Nan said with a sigh.
Teacher Zhu looked out the window and lowered his voice and said, "You're right!" I heard that he is thinking about taking a few apprentices! Let's see who has the luck! Famous teachers produce high apprentices! ”
