Chapter 38: Hesitation
Hu Xiaona finally fell ill, and the cold and cough came suddenly! Today she asked for leave, how can there be such a high-level existence as the telephone in this era, she went to the school to ask for leave for the teacher in person.
This morning, Hu Xiaona deliberately got up early in the morning, she knew that the first morning reading of today was Chinese, maybe the head teacher would go to school early. Since it was the first time to ask for leave, Hu Xiaona didn't know how to write a leave note.
She didn't know if it was written as a text, or if it was like writing a small note to Wang Dong, she was thinking about Wang Dong again, Hu Xiaona belonged to the kind of person who was very rebellious in her bones. She felt that a voice was saying: Hu Xiaona, you are not allowed to think about the small note anymore, the confession must have failed.
Then, she couldn't control herself, she just wanted to. Whenever this happens, Hu Xiaona finds that diverting attention is the best way.
No, she just didn't want to, she felt that only when she didn't want to, her heart was calmer. Hu Xiaona slapped her forehead fiercely, and began to prepare to write a leave note.
She tore a piece of paper from her composition and wrote the words "leave note" on the top line. And then how to write it? This stumped Hu Xiaona.
At this time, there were not many people in the class, Li Lanlan, who usually came early, why did she come so late today? Hu Xiaona muttered quietly, otherwise she could ask Li Lanlan for advice. She didn't want to ask others, for people she didn't know, Hu Xiaona didn't say let people help, she couldn't even remember their names.
I don't know when Li Lanlan will come to school, Hu Xiaona thought to herself, she felt that her head would start to hurt again.
It's just that the Chinese teacher hasn't arrived at the school yet, she just went to the teacher's office and knocked on the door cautiously, but no one answered. She realized that it was indeed early today, and she should stop looking at whether the leave note was written correctly.
Thinking of this, Hu Xiaona was no longer in a hurry and began to seriously review the leave slip. Suddenly, she saw a typo in her writing, and quickly corrected it. She silently blamed herself in her heart, how to write a leave note, she was so unconscious.
Hu Xiaona put away the leave slip and prepared to go to the homeroom teacher. In the hallway, she met Wang Erni. Wang Erni said to Hu Xiaona with a smile: "Xiaona, why did you come so early today, how are you preparing to go to the teacher's office?" ”
Hu Xiaona was thinking that Wang Erni was really powerful, and she was like a god. In fact, it's not like a god, Hu Xiaona didn't know that her leave slip fell to the ground.
Before she could take two steps, Wang Erni shouted at her from behind: "Hu Xiaona, what are you going to tell the teacher?" Hu Xiaona was confused when she heard this, she turned her head and saw Wang Erni laughing over there, holding a leave slip in her hand.
Hey, why did Wang Erni take her leave slip, Hu Xiaona was still wondering, Wang Erni spoke: "Hu Xiaona, Hu Xiaona, why are you so worry-free, the leave slip can fall to the ground, there is no wind, what are you panicking about!" ”
It turned out that this was the case, Hu Xiaona listened to Wang Erni's words and felt that she might be too nervous. She is still very nervous, I don't know what to say when I go to the teacher's office, she hasn't asked for leave yet.
She remembers that when she was in the fourth grade of primary school, she took a leave of absence, which was not like junior high school, and she could ask for leave on behalf of other students. However, with Hu Xiaona's memory, she can't remember who she asked to help ask for leave back then, but she only remembers that it was also a minor illness such as a cold and cough back then, just like now.
Hu Xiaona felt that it was no longer possible to ask for leave, she really had a terrible headache. She beckoned to Wang Erni and motioned for Wang Erni to come over. That's right, Hu Xiaona wanted to ask Wang Erni, what to say when she saw the homeroom teacher, whether to give the leave note directly to the teacher, or to say something more.
Hu Xiaona asked Wang Erni for help, she really found the right person. Hu Xiaona felt that Wang Erni was the kind of person who was quite wise, and in ancient times, Wang Erni's wisdom could be a military advisor, which was more than enough.
At this moment, Hu Xiaona reminded of Wang Erni's wonderful history. Hu Xiaona thinks that as long as Wang Erni helps, there must be nothing that can help her. Wang Erni is so smart!
cough cough cough, Wang Erni deliberately cleared her throat, she pretended to be angry and said to Hu Xiaona: "Xiao Na, what are you in a daze, what are you thinking?" Wang Erni's crisp and loud voice woke Hu Xiaona from her contemplation.
Hu Xiaona is always like this, always living in her own world and can't extricate herself. Sometimes she feels like she's introverted and lonely. She thinks Wang Erni is optimistic and cheerful. She should learn from Wang Erni, but she can't change her temper, although she knows that Wang Erni's temper is actually very bad, but she feels that Wang Erni has more advantages.
Wang Erni asked Hu Xiaona with concern: "Xiaona, what's wrong with you, hurry up and see a doctor!" Hu Xiaona listened to Wang Erni's words and felt very moved, she nodded and walked towards the teacher's office. She had already figured out how to tell the teacher, she felt that Wang Erni was right, Wang Erni told her four words, tell the truth.
When Hu Xiaona walked to the teacher's office, she realized that the head teacher, Ms. Wang, had not yet arrived, and she was hesitating whether to wait for a while or go back to the classroom first. Just when Hu Xiaona hesitated, it happened that Teacher Wang came, Hu Xiaona suddenly felt nervous, felt that her mind was blank, and she forgot all the lines she had just thought of.
Just as Hu Xiaona hesitated, the head teacher, Mr. Wang, spoke: "Xiaona, is there anything wrong with you?" Hu Xiaona lowered her head and whispered that she needed to ask for leave, but Teacher Wang didn't hear it, so she asked again.
Hu Xiaona's voice is still very small, although her academic performance in the class is very good, she has always respected and feared the teacher. The homeroom teacher, Ms. Wang, is an elderly middle-aged woman who speaks very kindly and treats every student in the class very kindly.
Hu Xiaona thinks that such a teacher is a good teacher, who can treat all students equally, and is good for students, regardless of grades. But what teacher is not partial? At least in Hu Xiaona's opinion, Teacher Wang also has a selfish side, and she is also very partial, otherwise the representative of the Chinese class should be suitable for Monday Dream.
Although Hu Xiaona and Wang Sanshui are friends, she is an upright person, and she feels that it is inappropriate for Wang Sanshui to be the representative of this Chinese class, but Teacher Wang has not changed the class representative. And Zhou Mengmeng has already transferred to another school, and Hu Xiaona has long since stopped worrying about who should be the representative of the Chinese class.
But Hu Xiaona's cognition will not change, she feels that every teacher has advantages and disadvantages, and no teacher is perfect. So, she doesn't like the teaching profession. She had already thought that when she grew up, she would travel and go to a few big cities. She likes this piece of land in her hometown, but she also wants to go to the outside world to see it, especially Beijing, and it has always been her dream to go to Beijing to have a look.
Ahem, cough, Mr. Wang saw that Hu Xiaona was in a daze, so he deliberately cleared his throat. Hu Xiaona looked up at Teacher Wang, her voice raised a little, this time Teacher Wang finally heard clearly, it turned out that she wanted to ask for leave.
Hearing Teacher Wang's concerned greetings, Hu Xiaona felt very warm, and Teacher Wang also said that these two days were review classes, and one more day off was allowed, so that Hu Xiaona could rest well and come to school again after her illness. Hu Xiaona felt very moved, and she handed the leave slip to Teacher Wang.
She saw that Mr. Wang wrote a quasi-word at the bottom of the leave slip, and after writing it, she changed the number of days of leave that Hu Xiaona had written before, Hu Xiaona was very happy, but it was not so obvious. She has long learned how to hide her emotions, probably smoothed out by reality. A person as upright as her will not fit into society in the future and will not be able to survive.
Hu Xiaona said thank you to Teacher Wang and left. As she walked out of the teacher's office, she felt a sense of relief. Now, she has taken a leave of absence, she just needs to go to the classroom to get her school bag, and then she can go home.
When Hu Xiaona returned to the classroom, many students had arrived at the school, and Teacher Wang just told her to hand the leave slip to the class leader, because the leave slip in the class is generally kept by the class leader, and this is the rule for each class.
So as soon as Hu Xiaona arrived in the classroom, she went directly to the class leader, but the class leader hadn't come yet, she took the leave slip approved by the head teacher just now, and returned to her seat to wait for the class leader. After waiting for about ten minutes, the squad leader came.
The squad leader of Class 1 and 3 is a handsome boy, who usually looks a little tall, and the boys and girls don't talk much, so Hu Xiaona and the squad leader are not familiar. But Hu Xiaona thinks that this squad leader is really handsome, why are squad leaders so handsome.
That's right, she is thinking about Wang Dong again, Wang Dong is the class leader of Class 11, not only handsome, but also good at studying, there must be many girls who like it. Thinking of this, Hu Xiaona felt a little sad in her heart, Wang Dong must not like her, otherwise why didn't she even have the answer to refuse?
Whenever Hu Xiaona was in a bad mood, she felt a little headache, and at this time, she felt that she could no longer stubbornly think about a problem, and she needed to divert her attention in order to think about it. She took the leave slip, walked to the squad leader's seat, and cautiously said to the squad leader: "Class leader, this is my leave slip, Teacher Wang has approved it, let me bring it to you." ”
After Hu Xiaona finished speaking, she looked at the squad leader, the squad leader took the leave slip, and then looked at Hu Xiaona, her voice was not loud but very good, but her words were very sharp, because the squad leader asked her rhetorically: "Hu Xiaona, won't you call my name directly?" ”
The squad leader's words made Hu Xiaona feel very embarrassed. It's not that she doesn't call the class leader's name, it's that she doesn't remember the class leader's name. Hu Xiaona is a very strange person, and she often can't remember the name of people she is not familiar with.
Hu Xiaona felt really embarrassed, she didn't know how to answer the squad leader's words, because she hadn't remembered the squad leader's name yet. Her mind raced, not knowing what to say or to remain silent.
When she was entangled and hesitating, Li Lanlan's appearance resolved this embarrassment, only to hear Li Lanlan's crisp voice sounding behind Hu Xiaona, Li Lanlan knocked on the back of Hu Xiaona's head, and then said to the squad leader with a smile: "Hu Xiaona, don't dare to say thank you to Liang Yi's squad leader!" ”
It turned out that the squad leader's name was Liang Yi, and Hu Xiaona remembered it immediately, because the name was very special and easy to remember. When she smiled and said thank you to the squad leader Liang Yi, Liang Yi said: "Seeing that you are nervous and joking with you, what's the matter with you and need to take two days off?" ”
Hu Xiaona truthfully said that because of a cold and cough, she needed to ask for leave. But she didn't say anything about Teacher Wang's change of leave slip, she didn't think it was necessary to say it, and it was also because she was not familiar with the class leader. She doesn't talk much to people she doesn't know, I don't know why, she is this kind of person, because she is unfamiliar, so she keeps her distance.
Li Lanlan heard it and expressed her concern, and asked Hu Xiaona to go home and rest quickly, and come to school again after taking care of her illness. Bidding farewell to the squad leader and Li Lanlan, before the first quarter of the preparatory bell rang, Hu Xiaona left, she felt very relaxed, hummed a little song all the way, and happily went home.
