Chapter 10: Visiting Again
In the first period of school, although Chen Wenhai's classes were often not very good, because people were not familiar with each other, many people could still take care of his face, so the classroom discipline was quite passable. Later, due to the influence of the outside world, some students became more and more presumptuous in the classroom, so that the normal teaching order often could not be carried out!
One day, due to poor classroom discipline, after class, Chen Wenhai said to Hu Zhanyong in frustration:
"Now my health is so bad that I am not fit to be a teacher at all. I asked the school leaders several times to change my career, but they insisted on disagreeing, saying that the school is so short of middle school Chinese teachers, how can they let me go! ”
"Then you can be your middle school Chinese teacher with peace of mind!"
"I'm afraid that if I continue like this, my reputation will get worse and worse, and eventually I will become a pile of shit that despises humans!" Chen Wenhai laughed at himself.
"Wouldn't it? You're thinking too much! Hu Zhanyong smiled and said to him, "This mentality of yours will be very bad for your body, you should learn to face reality optimistically!" ”
"Actually, I've always been an optimist, otherwise, how could I have survived to this day!"
"Then you keep being optimistic! I believe: you will get ahead one day! ”
"I believe there will be such a day!"
As we all know, the 80s of the 20th century was the era when China's reform and opening up was in full swing! Chen Wenhai is honored and proud to be able to live in such an era, if it were not for a serious illness and delayed his studies, it is entirely possible that he would be assigned to a key middle school to teach high school Chinese!
Chen Wenhai was born in the 50s of the 20th century, because he loved to read since he was a child, so he has a strong bookish atmosphere, if it were not for family factors and physical condition, he could have become a university professor or a middle school Chinese teacher, and even a language educator!
Chen Wenhai came to this remote and backward school, and in the long years of more than 20 years, he experienced setbacks and tribulations that are difficult for ordinary people to endure on the road of life, and endured unbearable pain and humiliation for ordinary people! What made him feel gratified was that he was not crushed by suffering, but straightened his waist and survived strongly, and achieved brilliant results in his career!
Due to a serious illness during the university and delayed his studies, Chen Wenhai's professional foundation is not very strong, and his body has not fully recovered, so he often feels powerless in the following middle school Chinese teaching work! Under such circumstances, how could he teach Chinese well in middle school?
Students and parents of students do not understand the situation, teachers and school leaders do not understand the situation, they will only look at the superficial phenomenon, and make all kinds of speculations that do not conform to the actual situation about Chen Wenhai's failure to teach Chinese well in middle school, and then become dissatisfied with him, belittle, slander and harm him!
A few years later, due to the gradual recovery of his body and the fact that Chen Wenhai was able to study his business hard, he made great progress in middle school Chinese teaching, however, due to mistakes in his work, people soon "forgot" all this and continued to belittle, slander and hurt him!
Today, decades later, Chen Wenhai is shocked: people's belittling, slander and harm to him have continued for more than 20 years, and they have intensified, ruthlessly "driving" him from the podium several times!
How ridiculous and callous the reality is!
Not long after the start of school, Chen Wenhai came to Cao Chunfu's house again.
After sitting down, Cao Chunfu asked Chen Wenhai with a smile:
"How's it going?"
"It's okay." Chen Wenhai replied with a smile, "Since I have just arrived in a new environment, I feel very new to everything around me, so relatively speaking, my mood seems much lighter. ”
Cao Chunfu ran to the kitchen to make two cups of tea, and then returned to the living room to put the two cups of tea on the coffee table, and said to Chen Wenhai with a smile:
"Tea, please."
"Thank you!" Chen Wenhai asked with a smile, "Xiaoyan is not at home?" ”
"She went out, saying she was going to her classmates." Cao Chunfu frowned and said to Chen Wenhai, "Recently, Xiaoyan has not been in a good mood!" ”
"What's wrong with her? Did you run into something that didn't go your way? ”
"When she was in secondary school, many boys pursued her, and one of them chased her very closely."
"Does Xiaoyan like him?"
"Xiaoyan's mind is not on him." Cao Chunfu continued to frown, "Now Xiaoyan is very annoyed!" ”
"Why?"
"Because my dad always nagged in front of her, saying, 'You don't like such a good boy, who do you like?' What's so good about that Chen Wenhai? Isn't it just a nerd? ’”
"Actually, your dad is right, I'm a nerd!"
"Don't talk angry!" Cao Chunfu said with a smile, "I can see that Xiaoyan is very sincere to you!" ”
"I know that!" Chen Wenhai smiled bitterly, "The problem now is: your father doesn't approve of me and Xiaoyan being good at all, and Xiaoyan doesn't dare to fall out with your father for me!" Then he smiled and asked, "Your mother didn't disapprove, did she?" ”
"Of course my mom won't disapprove!" Then he added, "She also has a good impression of you, often saying that you are loyal and honest, and so talented, and more than enough for her daughter!" ”
"Is that what your mom said?"
"Why am I lying to you?"
"So, I really should marry Xiaoyan as my wife!" Chen Wenhai joked with him. "However, I can't marry Xiaoyan yet!" Chen Wenhai said seriously
"Why?" Cao Chunfu's eyes widened in bewilderment.
"Don't look at me like that!" Chen Wenhai shook his head in distress, "Now, my body is still very bad, I have insomnia every day, I eat very little, I can't sit for a long time, I can't read and write for a long time, I have to lie down and rest after sitting for a while!" In order not to be too depressed, I often walk out of my anger, visit shops, and sometimes, climb the mountains to see the scenery! In order to replenish my strength, I drink malt milk essence and milk powder every day! Some people don't understand the situation, think I'm pampered, think I'm lazy, and think the food in the canteen is not delicious! Some people think that my insomnia is due to thinking about my wife! This is really wronged to death! Chen Wenhai asked Cao Chunfu, "You say, do I still allow me to consider marriage issues in my current situation?" ”
"There's a lot of stuff to say now, so my dad feels a lot of pressure and doesn't want to marry his daughter to you!"
"I can understand that!" Chen Wenhai asked with a smile, "But what about Xiaoyan?" Is she also feeling stressed? ”
"Our whole family is feeling stressed!" Cao Chunfu smiled bitterly and said, "That's why I want to persuade you to reconsider your marriage problem!" ”
"You don't have to persuade me, I never thought of marrying Xiaoyan!"
"Are you angry?" Cao Chunfu continued to smile bitterly and said, "I don't mean anything else, I just don't want Xiaoyan to delay your lifelong happiness!" ”
"I understand that!" Chen Wenhai also smiled bitterly and said, "However, I can't let go of Xiaoyan in my heart, because I like her too much!" Chen Wenhai asked rhetorically, "Do you know what it's like to really fall in love with a girl?" ”
"I can understand your feelings for Xiaoyan, however, you also have to learn to face reality!"
"How do you face reality?" Chen Wenhai was very angry, "It's not that I don't want to marry someone else now, but my current situation doesn't allow me to think about marriage at all!" ”
"However, if you keep running to my house, it is easy to cause misunderstanding to others, thinking that you are pestering Xiaoyan! Isn't that a disservice to you? ”
"I don't care what others want to think!" Chen Wenhai said with a solemn expression, "As long as Xiaoyan is not disgusted with me, I am not afraid of others talking nonsense!" ”
"Now Xiaoyan feels very embarrassed, she doesn't know how to face you!" Then he added, "She doesn't want to hurt you, and she can't bear to hurt you!" ”
At this time, Cao Xiaoyan came back, and she asked Chen Wenhai with a smile:
"When did you get here?"
"I've been here for a while."
Cao Chunfu stood up and went to the bathroom to relieve himself.
Cao Xiaoyan sat on the sofa where her brother had just sat and continued to ask Chen Wenhai with a smile:
"Do you still have a relationship with Yang Chaoyan?"
"Nope." Chen Wenhai couldn't help laughing, "How can you think of asking me this?" She and I had a general classmate relationship! ”
"Some people said you chased her, that's why I'm asking you that."
"Actually, it was a misunderstanding!" Chen Wenhai patiently explained, "At that time, my health was so bad that I thought I wouldn't live for a few days, and I thought: 'I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, so I died in such a daze, what a pity!'" I wanted to solve the marriage problem before I died, so I went to Yang Yuanyuan. ”
"Why do you think of her?"
"Because she sympathizes with me, and besides, she's the daughter of a college professor!"
"What happened to the college professor's daughter?"
"I have always had a good wish to marry the daughter of a university professor in my lifetime, which will help my career."
"Because I'm not the daughter of a college professor, you don't want to marry me, do you?" Cao Xiaoyan and Chen Wenhai joked.
"It's not that I don't want to marry you, it's that I can't marry you at all in my current situation!"
"Aren't you doing well now?" Cao Xiaoyan continued to joke with Chen Wenhai, "Now, you college students are called 'the pride of the sky' by the world, what a glory!" I, Cao Xiaoyan, only have admiration! ”
"I've seen this for a long time!" Chen Wenhai half-joked with her, "Three years ago, I came to your house with a university admission letter to report the good news, and the way you looked at me moved me to a mess!" ”
"I know what you're thinking!" Cao Xiaoyan said with a smile, "What do you mean to say: that day, you had a ...... for me"
Before Cao Xiaoyan could say the word "love", Cao Chunfu came out of the bathroom, and he said to his sister with a smile:
"For that sacred love, your Brother Wen Hai almost put his life into it!"
"This is true love!" Cao Xiaoyan said to everyone with a smile, "This kind of love will always move me and remember it in my heart!" ”
"This is unforgettable love!" Chen Wenhai said to everyone seriously.
After a while, Cao Xiaoyan's parents returned, and Chen Wenhai had lunch with the whole family.
After lunch, Cao Chunfu said to Chen Wenhai with a smile:
"I wanted to go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy a few books. Will you come with me? ”
"Then let's go!" Chen Wenhai also smiled and said to him, "I also want to buy a few books." ”
So, the two of them came to Xinhua Bookstore.
In the Xinhua bookstore, Chen Wenhai bought a few books on Chinese teaching in middle schools, and he said to Cao Chunfu with a smile:
"When I was in the teacher's college, both teachers and classmates said that Chinese is the most difficult to teach, and I hope these books can help me in teaching."
"I believe you will be able to teach Chinese well in middle school!"
