Chapter 21 Speech under the National Flag
On the third Monday of school, the national flag is hoisted throughout the school. The first year of junior high school students saw the raising of the national flag for the first time, and they were very curious. Hu Xiaona also felt curious and fresh, so she came to school very early, and she did not forget to eat breakfast this morning.
Because Wang Dong told her that if she doesn't eat breakfast anymore, she won't help with tutoring. Hu Xiaona said at that time that she would have a good breakfast in the future. Skipping breakfast is bad for the stomach, and her parents have also told her, but she just doesn't listen.
Hu Xiaona felt that her sister listened to her parents very much, and she could eat breakfast on time, but she couldn't remember it and didn't care. But since Wang Dong said her question, Hu Xiaona remembered, how could she not listen to Wang Dong's words, she felt that everything Wang Dong said was right.
Soon the school whistle sounded, and it was time for a big gathering. Teacher Wang, the head teacher, also blew a whistle, and everyone lined up and walked out of the classroom in an orderly manner. Hu Xiaona thought to herself, how can Teacher Wang also have a whistle, does he also teach physical education in other classes?
When gathering, Hu Xiaona asked the girl in front of her, it turned out that Teacher Wang was temporarily substituted for physical education class, because other teachers had something to do this week. Hu Xiaona stopped talking to others because she heard the vice principal speak on the stage, and the first thing she said was the issue of discipline.
The vice principal said that when the national flag is raised for a while, if anyone is found to disturb discipline, then stand on the flag stand and say enough. The vice principal also said that if any class performs well, the outstanding class group will be evaluated from this week, and the red flag of discipline and hygiene will be awarded.
This principal is still weird, Hu Xiaona doesn't dare to speak, she is afraid that she will be treated as a model in the first place, and it will not be an ordinary embarrassment. Probably because the principal's words worked, it suddenly fell silent, no one spoke, and everyone was waiting for the flag-raising ceremony to officially begin.
After a while, the teacher who presided over the flag-raising of the school announced the start of the flag-raising and introduced the situation of the flag-bearers and flag-raisers. Yu Hu Xiaona stood in the third horizontal row, so she saw it very clearly and looked very seriously. The flag bearer unfurls the flag and holds the flagpole with both hands. Then the right hand is in front and the flag is carried on the left shoulder, so that the national flag is always in a position that all teachers and students can see. Then, she saw the flag keeper and the flag raiser walking under the flag-raising platform, and then walked from different directions to the flag-raising platform.
Hu Xiaona saw the flag keeper hand the flag to the main flag raiser, and then the deputy flag raiser untied the rope and hung the flag on the rope. At this time, the flag bearer retreated to the flag-raising platform and stood facing the flag.
The teacher who presided over the flag-raising at the school also retreated to the side of the flag-raising platform, waiting for the flag to be hoisted to announce the next item.
Finally began to raise the national flag, Hu Xiaona felt so excited, all the teachers and students saluted, and the young pioneers saluted first.
Last Wednesday, the four classes of junior high school had already decided on the candidates for the Young Pioneers, Hu Xiaona was elected as the Young Pioneers, and Wang Sanshui was also elected. The quota of the first batch of junior team members, the whole class of 43 students, limited to 15 places, Hu Xiaona is the representative of the English class, Wang Sanshui is the representative of the Chinese class, and will definitely not be defeated.
Hu Xiaona was wearing a red scarf and felt very magical, but at this time, the wind suddenly rose, and the red scarf danced with the wind, Hu Xiaona felt so happy. But Hu Xiaona thought, on such an occasion, it is better not to be too happy.
At this time, the host announced: raise the national flag, play the national anthem, and salute everyone! At this moment, Hu Xiaona felt very patriotic. When the national anthem began to sound, the national flag had begun to rise slowly, and watching the five-star red flag rising, Hu Xiaona felt like she was watching TV.
When the national anthem is played, the national flag is raised to the top of the pole, and then the flag bearer and the flag guard fix the flag-raising rope, and all the teachers and students finish the salute. At this time, the flag-raiser retreats to the flag-raising platform, walks back to the starting point with the flag-bearer, and stands facing the flag-raising platform.
When the flag-raiser retreated to the stage, the teacher who presided over the flag-raising ceremony announced the start of the next item, that is, the speech under the national flag: For Chinese, raising the national flag and playing the national anthem are the proudest things. The principal's voice echoed on campus, and the principal also told many patriotic examples, which Hu Xiaona didn't remember. Hu Xiaona only remembered one theme, that is, Chinese should love their motherland.
In addition, Hu Xiaona also remembered a very important thing, the principal said that from next week, each class will select outstanding three good students to recite on stage.
Hu Xiaona suddenly felt confused, she was afraid of being chosen, because she had never forgotten the recitation in the past, and the sound of laughter could not be dispersed for a long time. It's really embarrassing, she's the kind of person who doesn't perform well when she's nervous, whether it's an exam or a large-scale recitation event.
Elementary school recitation activities are small activities at best, because there are not many people in elementary schools, but junior high schools are different, and if there is a mistake, it will be famous in the whole school. Hu Xiaona didn't want to be famous in this way, instead of speaking under the national flag in front of all the teachers and students, it was better to receive the award certificate in front of all the teachers and students.
The more Hu Xiaona thought about it, the more nervous she became, and she was most worried about what she was afraid of, but Hu Xiaona thought about it, she was neither the squad leader nor the deputy squad leader, so she would definitely not be elected. Even if you don't choose a class leader or deputy class leader, aren't there still representatives of the language class? Hu Xiaona thought to herself, it's good that the Chinese teacher is the class teacher.
She is the representative of the English class, so it is more likely that she will not be selected, thinking about it like this, Hu Xiaona suddenly felt much more relaxed. However, in the first class in the morning, Hu Xiaona was distracted again. If she wants to choose people one by one, it must be the squad leader Wang Dong. Wang Dong is really amazing, he was designated as the class leader by the teacher just a few days after the start of school.
Thinking about it this way, Hu Xiaona began to look forward to raising the national flag every week, because she wanted to see Wang Dong reciting on stage, and a person as good as Wang Dong should have a bigger stage.
In a class, Hu Xiaona didn't know what the teacher was talking about, and her mind was full of scenes of Wang Dong speaking under the national flag.
It's almost time for class to end, and she hasn't come back to her senses yet, Hu Xiaona is holding her head with both hands, as if she is listening to the lecture, not to mention, the teacher didn't name her in a class.
I still remember that in Chinese class last week, Hu Xiaona was distracted, and the teacher asked her to answer the question by name, she stood up, but she didn't know what the question was, and she couldn't answer it, so she just stood there and waited for the teacher to repeat the question.
Hu Xiaona was also very convinced of her cleverness, perhaps because her hunch was very accurate, and sure enough, Mr. Wang repeated the question again, and Hu Xiaona was not punished. Ms. Wang's way of educating students is a bit special, and the difference between her and previous teachers is that she is both democratic and authoritarian, kind and powerful.
Hu Xiaona feels that such a teacher is really amazing, and there is no one before or since. In general, shy teachers can't control the class. Powerful teachers are unpopular. However, Teacher Wang subverted Hu Xiaona's previous cognition, and she does have the ability.
Hu Xiaona was still distracted, the bell rang for the end of class, and Teacher Wang said to everyone unhurriedly: "Wait a minute, tell everyone in advance, the fourth class will no longer have Chinese classes......"
Before Teacher Wang finished speaking, the class was like a popcorn fryer, and it suddenly became lively, and everyone thought that the fourth period was in physical education class. This shows how attractive PE classes are to students. Of all the subjects, there is no one that can shake the status of PE in the minds of the whole class.
From elementary school to junior high school, physical education classes are like magnets that have a huge attraction for students.
At this time, Teacher Wang high-fived everyone to be quiet, and she pretended to be angry and said: "What is the noise, what is there to quarrel, the fourth class will not have Chinese class, because everyone needs to cooperate in choosing the students of our class to recite." ”
Democratic votes? Are you kidding? Hu Xiaona gasped, feeling a little unsafe. Because since she became the representative of the English class, she has been very serious, and the homework that she can't receive is written on a small note and reported to the teacher truthfully.
Students who fail to complete their homework cannot escape her clutches, and she knows that she has offended a large number of people. Wang Sanshui also quietly told her not to be so serious, just about it. What is almost enough, shouldn't you tell the teacher if you can't finish your homework?
The teacher trusted her so much and asked her to be the representative of the English class, she felt that this was her job and it was for the good of these students, so even if the English teacher asked them to call their parents, she felt that it was right. In fact, even if Wang Sanshui didn't tell her, she knew that she had offended many people, but she was such an upright person.
So her popularity in the class is not good, sometimes she doesn't like physical education class very much, because after the second half of the semester is disbanded, other students get together to play, and she feels a little lonely.
The boundary between boys and girls in junior high school is very clear, and she can't go to Wang Sanshui to play, so she really hopes that when she goes to sports, the first class will also be with their class. Hu Xiaona heard that Teacher Wang's physical education class was one by one, she was so happy, Wang Erni was her good friend, she could play with Wang Erni.
What's more, Wang Dong is in class 11. Hu Xiaona really felt so happy, how much she hoped that Teacher Wang would officially take over the physical education class of Class 11, so that the two classes could attend physical education class together. However, Hu Xiaona heard the girl in the class say that Teacher Wang seemed to be temporarily taking over a week's physical education class, which made Hu Xiaona a little disappointed.
At this moment, Hu Xiaona's mood is very complicated, what kind of democracy does Teacher Wang do, hasn't she always liked dictatorship? If you look at the democratic votes, she thinks she won't be elected unless she's very lucky. How afraid Hu Xiaona is to speak under the national flag, only she knows. If she has the most votes for democracy, then she's finished.
Hu Xiaona is already thinking about how to write a leave note, and she feels that asking for leave is the only way at present. Even if she has the most votes, so what. She is so smart, Hu Xiaona admires her wise decision-making too much. So she was quickly relieved, and after class, she went to the hallway to play with the girl in the class.
The girl in the class is from their neighboring village, has a good temper, and is very friendly to Hu Xiaona. When the national flag was raised, Teacher Wang took a physical education class on behalf of the class, and it was this girl who told Hu Xiaona. Then, Hu Xiaona got acquainted with her and went to the corridor to play together after class. She also doesn't have to worry about no one to play with in PE class in the future.
The PE teacher from the first class will return next Monday, and the history of the two classes taking PE class together is over. Hu Xiaona was depressed for a week because no one played in physical education class before, and she realized that in junior high school, in addition to studying, she also had to do a good job in interpersonal relationships.
But she doesn't like to be lively, she doesn't deliberately try to please others, and she finds that good students are not popular in their class, in addition to her, there is also the very high deputy class president.
