A Thousand Thousand Knots: Volume 2 A Thousand Thousand Knots: Chapter 11: Mr. and Student

Xiao Duxue walked forward with her suitcase, and slowed down as she passed the commissary at the school gate. The things in this commissary are divided into categories and arranged very neatly, even the small goods that are placed outside are lined up. It can be seen that the owner of this commissary is a particular one. Not far from the commissary is a boxy iron gate with a large shiny iron lock. The gate faces a concrete aisle lined with cypress trees and flowers. A unique arched door connects a very chic courtyard, and in the corner of the courtyard wall are placed two antique large water tanks, one with fish and the other with lotus. Xiao Duxue was happy: It is said that this Qiaohe Middle School is a place where birds don't, but I don't think so. Although this place is not a few grades higher than Ningnan Middle School, it is still a lot better after all. She touched the lotus leaf and continued walking. Passing through a round door, there is a small rectangular courtyard in front of you, with blue bricks and tiles, symmetrical left and right. In the middle of the courtyard is a long and narrow flower bed with grass and flowers. After walking a few steps and turning left, there is the men's dormitory, which is also lined up with large blue brick houses. Further on, there is a family home, a teacher's dormitory, and a very spacious place to dry clothes. The girls' dormitory is built next to each other on a high platform, and the outer walls of the dormitory are overgrown with green creepers, which is very beautiful. Tall sycamores stand all around, like loyal flower messengers, day and night watching over these youthful flowers. Xiao Duxue found the dormitory of the class, and when she saw the door open, she went in to take a look. At a glance, there was no one left on the upper berth of the window bed. She threw her luggage up with all her might, pulled over a chair and sat down to rest. This dormitory is not large, with six bunk beds, against the wall, facing each other, and serves twelve people. In the middle of the room are six tables for small bits and pieces. Here is a unified food group to buy food, no need to fill the food box, just fold the clothes and put them next to the pillow.

After making the bed briefly, Xiao Duxue walked out of the yard and walked around. It didn't take long for her to become fully acquainted with the school environment. Natural selection, survival of the fittest. I don't know how many times Xiao Lanshu has talked about this rule of survival is really right. She nodded in the same way as Su Shi'an, and then learned Su Shi'an's voice and said to herself: "Lan Shu is really knowledgeable!" ”

"Who are you? What to hang around here? A neatly dressed middle-aged man stood at the courtyard wall, his face looking too serious. He thought: This girl is eccentric, and she is probably a difficult person to control.

Xiao Duxue stood upright: "I am Xiao Duxue, a freshman in the first year of high school. ”

The middle-aged man pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Freshman? No wonder the face is raw. Have you checked in? ”

Xiao Duxue stuck out her tongue: "I forgot." ”

The middle-aged man turned in the other direction: "Follow me." ”

"Who are you?"

"Zhang Yuhan, the head of the first year of high school."

"Head of grade?"

"I'm the homeroom teacher of the arts and sciences."

Xiao Duxue secretly grimaced: It's a bad dish! I met a pedant like my dad again.

Zhang Yuhan walked in front with his hands behind his back: "Show me your admission letter." ”

Letter of acceptance? Xiao Duxue took out the crumpled piece of paper from her trouser pocket, opened it in three or two, shook it vigorously, and offered it with both hands.

Zhang Yuhan's gaze stopped at the subject score for a few seconds, and folded the notice: "You must study carefully in the future." ”

Xiao Duxue thought to herself: He didn't even ask me why I had a zero score in English. This pedantic gentleman is kind of interesting.

Zhang Yuhan pointed to the path leading to the outside of the school and said, "The water stops here sometimes. A few hundred meters further on the road, there are two wells that can be used as draft. Further on, there is an unsealed pond. There is a spring at the bottom of the pond, which flows in all seasons, and the water flow is clear enough to wash clothes. ”

Xiao Duxue said respectfully, "Thank you, teacher." ”

Zhang Yuhan walked faster: "Thank you? It's good to concentrate on your studies. Go clean up, it's time for evening self-study. ”

Xiao Duxue saluted and went back to the dormitory.

High school life began in this question-and-answer conversation between teachers and students.

After three preliminary exams, Xiao Duxue has become familiar with every student in the class. In a class of forty or fifty people, there are only about a dozen girls, which is pure treasure. Adolescent boys are especially courteous and gentle to girls. The girls are centered on Xiao Duxue, and they often bully the boys to call their fathers and mothers, but they are not really angry and still get along.

The first note Xiao wrote to her family described her high school life as follows: "I am very busy and full every day. I like the homeroom teacher who doesn't smile, I like everyone in the class, I like the grass and trees on campus, and even the salty and light meals in the cafeteria. I'm doing well, please don't think about me anymore.

After reading the letter, Xiao Lanshu only said: My daughter Xiao Lanshu should be like this.

One day, after lunch, Xiao Duxue was taking the girls and boys to grab the table tennis table, and the class leader stood at the school gate and shouted: "Dusk Xue, Xiao Duxue...... Teacher Zhang is looking for you. ”

Xiao Duxue stuffed the table tennis racket she had just grabbed to the girl in the same class, turned around and ran. From behind him, there was an urgent cry from the study committee: "Twilight snow! Twilight ...... Help me see the results of this month's monthly exam! ”

"And mine, Twilight, and my ......"

"Mine you can also take a look!"

Xiao Duxue thought to herself, why don't you go with me. The soles of her feet were windy, and she was soon in the office.

It is said to be an office, but in fact, it is a not spacious concrete room, with a curtain in the middle, half accommodation and half office. There was a rectangular table by the window, which was full of books and test papers. There is a double bed, a simple gas stove, a double-door wardrobe, a chair and various daily necessities in the back of the living area. Two stools were placed against the wall, and on them lay a stack of unfinished rolls. Some baby products are hung on the wall, colorful and colorful, but they are also a kind of decoration. This time period is the peak period for shopping, Zhang Yuhan's wife Liu Yuyan is busy with her children in the commissary, and only Zhang Yuhan is reading in front of the window. Seeing Xiao Duxue coming in, he put a test paper on the table: "Old rule, I'll give you time." ”

Since last weekend, it has been customary to have one exam paper every afternoon. Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry and History have already been done, and today it is politics, which should be the last subject. Xiao Duxue skimmed through the entire paper and began to answer the questions.

Zhang Yuhan hadn't seen a third of the book yet, and the test paper was finished. He looked at the answer and said, "You're not curious at all, why should I let you do these papers alone?" ”

"Since I was a child, I have been taught: don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say. Teacher, you must have a reason for doing this. Let me know, you'll tell me. Otherwise, even if I asked, there would be no answer, so why should I be bored. ”

"You don't want to know why your answer is correct every time you take a test, but your score is always neither high nor low?"

"As long as the answer is correct, I don't care about scores."

"The score is related to the ranking and seat of each month, and you don't care?"

"I have good eyesight, it doesn't matter where I sit."

"Don't you want to be number one? Cause? ”

"My father once taught me a saying: the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it."

It's a rare good seedling! "Let's play. Let the study committee and the class leader count the results of the monthly examination after dinner. Zhang Yuhan sorted out the test papers that Xiao Duxue had done and walked towards the principal's office.

The principal's office is a simpler office with a few desks and chairs, materials and books. The principal and several teachers were chatting, and when they saw Zhang Yuhan, they opened their mouths and asked, "Are you done?" ”

Zhang Yuhan nodded, distributed the test papers to the teachers of each subject, and left the Chinese test papers for himself.

The first to speak was the chemistry teacher: "Is this really what the kid did?" ”

Zhang Yuhan didn't raise his head: "Could it be that I did it?" ”

The chemistry teacher snorted, "At your level as a liberal arts student, you can't write such a perfect molecular formula." ”

The physics teacher said, "Don't discuss it, you two will talk about it after judging the papers." ”

The room was quiet.

It didn't take long for the principal to be overwhelmed: "This kid's English reading ability is simply amazing!" ”

The physics teacher said again: "Principal, let's talk about it after I finish changing the paper." ”

The principal agreed, continuing to focus on the exam papers.

Finally, the volume was finished. A room full of people look at me, I look at you, and they don't speak.

Zhang Yuhan pushed his glasses: "Don't hold it back, let's talk about it." ”

The chemistry teacher's mouth was quick: "What did you say?" How strong is this child's ability to learn? Isn't this something for all to see, do you need to say? ”

The political teacher is an old grandfather who will retire in two years, and his personality is gentle and relaxed: "I have also observed her for a long time. Don't look at this kid who usually loves to play and is naughty, but once he enters the learning state, he really doesn't have that concentration even for me. I think she deserves to be nurtured. ”

Zhang Yuhan said: "Her academic performance is beyond doubt. Although she is naughty and mischievous, you will find that she actually works harder than other children and loves to learn. The most important thing is that she can withstand the blow and loneliness, and knows how to hide her clumsiness. ”

The headmaster nodded yes, "I agree." Her English listening and speaking skills are top-notch, but she is not very active in answering questions in class, unless I call them out. I thought her English score was at best a level. It wasn't until I met her at the English corner that she was able to converse with me in English, and her pronunciation was standard and the words were accurate, that I knew I was blind. ”

Zhang Yuhan pushed his glasses again: "It's still me who looks away." On the first day of school, I saw that her English score was zero, and I thought she was seriously biased. Now that I think about it, there should be something that delayed her exam. ”

"How nice! If she hadn't missed a subject, she wouldn't have come to us. The math teacher said, "She is indeed a rare seedling." If you agree that it is possible, I have no problem with that. ”

The principal smiled: "You have to think about it, tutoring her is extracurricular, and I won't give you tutoring funds." ”

"Love is not unique to you. If you don't give money, you don't give money, just when I contribute to the school. ”

The principal asked the history teacher, "Why don't you give me your opinion?" ”

"Her familiarity with history has exceeded my expectations. I don't have anything to say. ”

The principal was happy: "Usually, one or two of you either ask me for tutoring funds, or complain to me about the difficult conditions of the school and ask for subsidies. Why are you so generous today? ”

"The reason is simple, we want her to be angry for us." The chemistry teacher was quick to say, "I hope she doesn't let us down." ”

Zhang Yuhan took the test paper back: "I can guarantee this, this kid is not the kind of person who is ungrateful and just wants to climb high branches." ”
