"Hmm." Zhuang Zhou picked up the water cup and took a sip, "You are the first in the overall score of more than a dozen groups of middle school joint entrance examinations, I can't let you go so easily, it's my fault to let you be so leisurely in school." ”

Zhang Fan paused, and did not answer immediately, Zhuang Zhou was not in a hurry, he gently sipped the tea and looked at the boy in front of him silently.

"The ......"

After about a few minutes, Zhang Fan organized the language, and then continued: "Uncle, I want to ask for leave. ”

"Leave?" Zhuang Zhou put down the teacup, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Please ask for leave to go to the head teacher, there is no need to tell me, and this should have nothing to do with the English competition." ”

"Uncle, I want to take many days off." Zhang Fan Zhengse said, "I have a lot of my own things to do, I usually don't want to come to school if I don't have time, and the price of taking leave is that I will definitely win an award in the English competition." ”

Zhuang Zhou was silent when he heard this, he knew that Zhang Fan was a very special child, the scene of Zhang Fan's cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the day of school was still vivid, and the school cafeteria poisoning incident that occurred later, all kinds of things showed that Zhang Fan was not simple, and he was also the first in the overall score of the joint entrance examination, and even cut off the tumor of Ma Yan, prompting him to take a step further in the process of school reform.

"Xiaofan, you are still young now, and you don't need to worry about many things." Zhuang Zhou said earnestly, "Your task is to study in school, can you tell me a reason?" A reason why you have to take time off. ”

Although Zhuang Zhou is the forerunner of education reform, he is not a conformist old pedant, but when it comes to the future of children, he is still very careful and does not dare to let go easily.

"I ......," Zhang Fan said slowly, "Uncle, you know that I like medicine, I want to devote more time to this aspect, and school life doesn't seem to be suitable for me." ”

"Huh?" Zhuang Zhou frowned, "Where is it not suitable for you?" ”

Zhang Fan told the story of the last Ma Yan incident and what happened with Chen Yujuan in class today.

"Uncle, what do you think?" After Zhang Fan finished speaking, he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, he didn't know if the leave would be successful, but he had to try.

After listening to Zhang Fan's words, Zhuang Zhou sighed deeply and said, "Alas, there is indeed a problem with our education method, but it is slowly changing. I have read the article you wrote about Chinese-style education, and it pointed out the disadvantages of Chinese-style education, and it is rare for you to have this kind of thought. Alas, people nowadays are too eager for quick success. ”

Zhang Fan listened to Zhuang Zhou's words silently, and for the first time in his heart gave birth to a kind of admiration and gratitude, his own thoughts were formed more than ten years ahead, but Zhuang Zhou was really the forerunner of the times, and it was Zhang Fan's little luck to meet such a teacher.

"Xiaofan, if you want to ask for leave, it's not impossible." Zhuang Zhou said, "But I have a few conditions. ”

"On what terms?" Zhang Fan hurriedly asked.

"First, the English competition must win the prize." Zhuang Zhou paused and continued: "Second, your midterm exam results still have to be ranked first, how about it?" ”

"Okay." Zhang Fan chuckled, "Uncle, let's make a decision!" ”

Zhuang Zhou looked carefully at the boy in front of him, trying to find a trace of hesitation in his eyes, but failed.

"Xiaofan, are you so confident?" Zhuang Zhou hesitated and said, "Are you sure about the English competition?" ”

Zhang Fan smiled slightly in his heart, he was a returnee doctor who had stayed abroad for many years, but he also left some leeway for himself.

"Uncle, I promise at least the top ten." Zhang Fan said.

"Top ten?" Zhuang Zhou shook his head, "It's not difficult, right?" ”

"I ......" Zhang Fan was speechless for a while, Zhuang Zhou's appetite is so big? As far as he knows, no one from the experimental middle school has yet made it to the national finals.

"At least the top five in the country." Zhang Fan thought about it and said, he didn't dare to say it too hard.

"The top five are okay." Zhuang Zhou nodded, but when he came back to his senses, he felt a little wrong, "What did you say before?" ”

Zhang Fan looked at Zhuang Zhou strangely, "Top five! Uncle, you're not still satisfied, are you? ”

"No, I'm asking about the top five?" Zhuang Zhou suddenly felt a little dry mouth.

"It's in the top five in the country."

“……”

The moment Zhang Fan spoke, Zhuang Zhou felt a little in a dream.

The difference between one word and the difference is very different.

The national finals, which are all the outstanding high school students in the whole of China, will definitely lead to huge differences in the teaching of English in different regions. Although the education in Huzhong Province is strong, it does not have the advantages of big cities in English, on the contrary, the teachers are weak, and the students' English enlightenment time is late.

Since the establishment of the experimental middle school, no student has ever entered the finals of the national competition, and the best result is the eleventh in the province in the English competition, which means that as long as it enters the national finals, it will make history.

Zhuang Zhou's original plan was to take the top five in the province, but he didn't expect Zhang Fan to say the top five in the "country"! That's a great achievement during his tenure.

"Uncle? What happened to you? Zhang Fan looked at Zhuang Zhou, who was stunned, with some suspicion, and he didn't notice the problem for a while.

"Ah...... Not...... It's nothing. Zhuang Zhou recovered from the shock, he licked his dry lips, and looked at the little boy in front of him, who was even a little thin.

"That, Xiao Fan......" Zhuang Zhou calmed down a little and asked cautiously, "Are you really sure that you will get the top five in the country?" ”

Zhang Fan hesitated, but nodded.

Syllable!

Seeing Zhang Fan's affirmation, Zhuang Zhou clasped his hands together, with a trace of forbearance excitement on his face, "Xiao Fan, I agree to your leave!" ”

Although Zhang Fan couldn't figure out why things suddenly went so smoothly, he was also very happy that the matter was resolved.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'll still be at school most of the time." Zhang Fan said that if you get cheap, you have to learn to behave, but it is not necessarily if you are not in school in the future.

Zhuang Zhou patted Zhang Fan on the shoulder and said, "Xiaofan, I will communicate with your homeroom teacher, but you have to report to the teacher every time you leave the school, otherwise if you are not in school all the time, safety will also be a big problem." ”

"Okay."

Ding Ding Ding!

Things worked out perfectly, and the class bell rang.

"Uncle, I'm going to class." Zhang Fan stood up and said goodbye, "Uncle Trouble, communicate with Teacher Song earlier." ”

Zhuang Zhou also stood up and couldn't help laughing: "You kid is in such a hurry to escape from school, if you don't meet these two conditions, I will have to beat you!" ”

Zhang Fan smiled awkwardly and touched the back of his head embarrassedly.

"Hurry up and go to class, I'll communicate with your homeroom teacher right away."

"Thank you, uncle."

Zhang Fan walked to the door of the office, suddenly thought of one more thing, and turned around and said, "Uncle, is that prescription easy to use?" ”

"Huh? What is the prescription? Zhuang Zhou looked at Zhang Fan at the door puzzled.

"That's it." Zhang Fan pointed to his hair.

Zhuang Zhou understood, and his old face couldn't help but blush.

"Xiaofan, if you don't leave, I'll change my mind!"

"Huh?! Bye bye, Uncle Principal! ”
