Chapter 57: Adapting to a new life in junior high school
In the end, Li Yunfeng insisted on going to the township middle school closest to his home, the township middle school opposite the central primary school, which was considered by the locals to be impossible to get out.
Cao'er went to the county No. 1 middle school, Zheng Xingxing went to the No. 5 middle school, another key middle school in the county, which is as famous as the first middle school.
Cao'er's family also encountered Cao'er's father's unit raising funds to buy a house in the county, and moved out of the Central Primary School in time during the summer vacation after graduating from primary school. But the location of the new home is still too far away from Cao'er's No. 1 Middle School, so the parents chose to live according to Cao'er's wishes, and they are at school from Monday to Friday, and they can only come back on Saturday, and then go to evening self-study on Sunday night.
Before school started, my father sawed off the horizontal bar of his men's bicycle with a hacksaw at home and welded it into a slash, which was considered to be completed and turned into a women's bicycle for Cao'er to ride.
For the first time in her life, Cao'er was so far away from home, and she was very reluctant to hold back her tears during class. As soon as the bell rang and the teacher stepped out of the classroom door with one foot, she covered her face with both hands, and tears flowed down her fingers. Ten minutes between classes, she wept and cried for ten minutes until the teacher of the next class stepped onto the podium. She lowered her head to wipe the tears from her face and began to go to class dizzily again.
Her tablemate Lin Renli was a girl from another township, thin, with a pointed face and pointed chin, and her eyes narrowed to look at her crying from class to class, and she threw out a sentence: "Why do you love to cry so much?" ”
"I miss home."
Cao'er glanced at the lesbian table, sobbed in reply, and then burst into tears when she turned her face.
"Then why don't I cry? I'm homesick too. ”
Lin Renli still can't understand the good crying of his tablemates.
In this way, from the first Monday of school to Friday, on Saturday morning, Cao'er picked up her books and ran to the bicycle shed downstairs in the dormitory, got on her bicycle and rushed home.
At home, my father and mother had just made breakfast, and my younger brother Junsheng cheered for his sister's return. The sun shines in through the curtains in the living room, and also shines through the windows of the dining room to the dining table, and the whole kitchen is full of bright sunlight.
In the second week of school, Cao'er still hid her face and cried during recess, but the frequency decreased, and there were more times in the middle of being in a daze, but she didn't talk to her classmates. At the end, Lin Renli, who was at the same table, came to a conclusion:
"Well, it's been a lot better this week. Crying less. ”
But helplessly, after coming to junior high school, Cao'er somehow always loves to doze off. Especially in subjects like geography and history, which I heard early on that they do not need to be counted in the high school entrance examination scores, Cao'er slept uncontrollably in class. As a result, the geography teacher asked her, but she didn't even hear the teacher's question, and was woken up by her fellow tablemates, and stood up sleepily, with a blank face. The teacher called another student to get up, and that student replied aloud, which was completely correct. After a round of applause, the classmate sat down proudly, while she stood stunned, listening to the teacher's comparison:
"Let's see, why in the same class, some students don't know what to ask, and some students can answer correctly when they ask something?"
Cao'er listened to the teacher's sarcastic words drift past her ears, still confused and didn't know who she was talking about. Until the teacher saw her bewildered, he shouted to her helplessly:
"Sit down!"
She also sat down with the voice, and only then did she come to her senses a little, thinking that what the teacher had just said was probably talking about herself. The moment she looked up, she felt that the tablemate with a small pointed face turned his head to look at her, and his eyes were full of strange meaning.
Cao'er still stayed groggy until the end of class. When I returned to the dormitory, I took the rice bowl and meal ticket and went to the cafeteria to eat with the flow of people. She was alone, trying to sober herself as she walked. She had to know why.
In the past few years of elementary school, she has been a star-studded person, and she has never received such a statement from a teacher, and she has performed very well in and out of class, how can she be described like this when she arrives in junior high school?
When she is free, whether in the dormitory or in the classroom, she wants to analyze the reason for herself, but she can't think of anything.
She took out every textbook she sent down, flipped through it, and found that none of the textbooks made her find interesting, without exception, they were listed according to chapters, which was boring and boring, and the teacher basically read from the textbook in class.
Originally, the geography teacher was the most pleasing young male teacher, and when he stepped on the classroom stage for the first time, Cao'er couldn't help but have her eyes shining, and she secretly made up her mind in her heart to learn geography well for the teacher, but whether it was the dense crawling ant words in the textbook, or the terms spit out by the handsome teacher on the podium, all of them made her drowsy.
Cao'er finally recalled the reason why she fell asleep in class, which was the words "boring and boring". But the test still has to be tested, and the score can't be too low, no matter what, it has to be an upper-middle. The only thing that interested her was English.
The English teacher is a chubby female teacher, surnamed Chao, called Chaoyang, and her name matches her round sunflower-like face a little, but the most suitable thing is that she exudes a sunrise-like energy, which makes people inevitably feel inspired by her class.
In fact, it is very simple, because Mr. Chaoyang's classroom is not a word hall, but has a pass-through interaction and effect detection like playing a game.
Every time she talks about a small knowledge point in class, there will be supporting exercises for students to practice in class, and the roll call is passed one by one.
Cao'er is also often clicked, so in order to answer good questions, she basically listens to every word of the teacher attentively, including her myopia deepening and she can't see the blackboard clearly, but she relies on listening to the sound and comparing the textbook to remember the pronunciation of the blackboard book on the blackboard, so as to meet the teacher's mastery requirements in class.
Therefore, for the first time, I received the same English as Earthworm Wen, and in such an effect-oriented class, I found that I was very talented in language, and I answered the question correctly every time. It's as if she's back in the middle school classroom, but she doesn't care about winning the top spot again and again. Of course, she was proud in elementary school, and now, even if she answered correctly, she was only relieved after passing the test, and she was not proud at all.
In the junior high school where the master is like a forest, she is just an ugly duckling.
However, even if Cao'er is an ugly duckling, she must be an ugly duckling who is unwilling to fall. Her first English unit test score was 71, and the highest score in her class was 81.
When she got home, her father also said to her: "English is very important, you must learn it well." So, in the evening self-study, the classmates were talking to each other, so she began to memorize the words diligently and honestly. On the second unit test, she scored 81 points, but the highest score was 91 points.
She still listened carefully to the lectures, practiced carefully, and memorized words carefully, so the first person changed several rounds, but she rose straight up and began to take the first place.
For subjects she is not interested in, Cao'er also began to think of a way, that is, she can't listen to the class, so she does the corresponding exercises by herself, and through practice to let her brain into the play, slowly, the teacher lectures in class, and others listen to the new class, but she uses it as an important way to review.
Hard work pays off, from the unprecedented criticism of the teacher when she entered the school, to the beginning of a month after the start of school finally slowly on the right track, the homework is passable, English and Chinese writing can be in the forefront, other subjects can also stand in the upper middle school, comprehensive total ranking, she has become the most potential middle school student in the society, ranking between 12 and 7, and can be regarded as an explanation to her parents and herself.
