One day, He Hansheng met Yuan Jinwang when he went to the workshop.

"Hansheng, where are you going?"

"Let's go to the workshop."

"That's right, Hansheng. Can you help me with something? ”

"What's the matter? You said. ”

"I have a friend who runs a tutoring class for junior high school students, and recently the English teacher took a month off, can you help me substitute for the class?"

"I've never done it before, can I?"

"You're a college student, you should be able to. I took a look at the people in the company, and you have a high degree of education. By the way, it's not every day, it's a Sunday day a week. Two hundred a day. If I had good English, I would have gone. ”

"Two hundred a day?"

He Hansheng was a little surprised, because the tutoring day followed him to work for two days.

"yes, more than we all earn at work."

"You can try it. However, I don't have any counseling experience, so I'm not interested in other things. ”

"It's all students in the first and second years of junior high school, and you can do it with your ability."

"Good. I'll try it one day. ”

"This is my friend's phone number, his surname is Joe. Let's get in touch with him when you have time. I also sent him your phone number. ”

"Well, good. Is the tutorial class so profitable now? ”

"That's right. Now the tutorial class is a profiteering industry. Director Shen's son is in his third year of junior high school, and he has been in the tutoring class since junior high school, almost 100 a day. In the past, Section Chief Ge's son took an intensive class for the high school entrance examination, and he was 300 per hour. ”

"It's really fake. It's not enough to pay the tutoring fee for a month's class. ”

"Now, the junior high school stage is very critical, if you can't get into high school, you have to go to vocational high school, and many parents are reluctant to let their children go. Therefore, before the high school entrance examination, parents can spend as much as they can to cultivate. ”

"It's not easy for parents."

"Yes. You don't see that I haven't had a second or third child now, I really can't afford to raise it. ”

"Jin Wang, come here." Director Shen shouted.

"Alright, Hansheng, I'm going to get busy. You can contact my friend in a moment. ”

"Okay."

Yuan Jinwang left in a hurry.

The workshop is full of high-definition cameras, and I don't even feel comfortable talking, and I always feel like I'm being watched. If you are bumped into by the leader, you think you are playing.

He Hansheng also walked out of the workshop. His heart also became slightly uneasy.

At the bend of the stairs, because there were no cameras here, He Hansheng relaxed a little.

Taking advantage of no one, he dialed Teacher Qiao's phone.

"Hello, Mr. Qiao. I'm He Hansheng, a colleague of Yuan Jinwang. He said, you need an English substitute teacher here, don't you? ”

"Yes, yes, I heard Yuan Jinwang talk about you. He said that you are highly educated and have a good literary style. ”

"However, I haven't tutored before, and I have no experience."

"It's all junior high school students, so it should be fine. Why don't you come over after work, and we'll talk about it. ”

"yes, okay."

Hanging up the phone, He Hansheng became nervous again.

He only accepted it for 200 yuan a day, but he still didn't know whether he could do it well. However, I think that my English foundation is quite good, but now I just forgot about it. Anyway, he wanted to give himself a chance to give it a try first.

In between work, he also looked up relevant English content on the Internet. He suddenly found that he still remembered a lot of English knowledge points, such as the singular and plural of nouns, the possessive of nouns, the comparative and superlative of adjectives, verb conjugations, and eight tenses, such as simple present tense and simple past tense. Looking at these familiar contents, he suddenly had some confidence.

When he was about to get off work, he noticed that Mr. Qiao had added him to WeChat.

He quickly clicked confirm.

Soon, Mr. Qiao sent him the location and building number.

He replied quickly: Mr. Qiao, received.

After getting off work, He Hansheng did not go home, but rode directly to Mr. Qiao's house.

The name of the community is Shuxiang Mendi, near No. 3 Middle School. As far as he knows, most of the people living in this community are teachers from the third middle school. The neighborhood is very quiet and clean, and there are statues of cultural celebrities on the roadside.

Walking in the community, you can feel a sense of cultural heaviness and precipitation.

He Hansheng took the elevator to the fifth floor.

He knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened.

"Hello, Mr. Qiao."

"It's He Hansheng, right?"

"Yes."

"Okay, come in."

He Hansheng changed into a pair of slippers and went to the living room.

"Hansheng, sit." Teacher Qiao motioned for him to sit across from the coffee table.

"Have a cup of tea."

Teacher Qiao was very polite, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of He Hansheng.

"Thank you."

"That's right. There's an English teacher who has taken a leave of absence, and I want you to help me do it for four Sundays. Do you have no previous coaching experience? ”

"Nope." He Hansheng replied truthfully.

"Actually, it's not that difficult. There are only two units in four days, six classes a day, and three classes each in the first and second years of junior high school. Mainly talk about the knowledge points, send out practice papers to do, and then, give lectures and maintain classroom discipline. Here are some textbooks and tutorial materials that you can take a look at and familiarize yourself with. ”

"yes, okay."

He Hansheng took the information and looked at it roughly.

"I have a good foundation in English, so I should be fine."

"That's good."

"The tutorial class only has classes one day on Sundays, don't you usually do it?" According to He Hansheng, tutoring classes are generally tutored at night.

"Yes. The tutorial class is not here, it is in Yiyuan, and it can only be done on weekends. ”

"Where is Yiyuan?"

He Hansheng was a little surprised. Because Yiyuan is farther away than his hometown of Gaoqiao, which is the farthest town in Laiyi, it usually takes about an hour and a half to get there by car.

"That's right. Because I'm also a teacher, it's not allowed to run tutorial classes in the city. My hometown is Yiyuan, and there are many people I know there. Yuan Jinwang is my hair young, and he recommended you to me last time I went home. ”

"Oh." He Hansheng nodded and took a sip of tea.

"You know, it's hard to hire a working teacher. Because they are also worried about being investigated. I can trust you to go. ”

"Okay, thank you. By the way, how should the class be arranged? ”

"That's all right. Isn't there three classes per grade? In the first lesson, you can talk about the key points and difficulties of the unit you have just learned. A lesson is forty minutes long, and you can arrange it yourself. In the second lesson, you can give out a practice paper to do, or you can listen to the words and let everyone read the text. Tell them about it in the third class and summarize it. There are twenty people in a class, for a total of forty people. ”

"yes, okay." He Hansheng heard Teacher Qiao say this, and he had a general idea in his heart.

"We'll go this Sunday, you get ready first. If there is a need for a photocopy, you can give it to me one day in advance. ”

"Our company also has a photocopier, and when the time comes, I can make copies."

"It's fine. Han Sheng, let's eat at my house later. ”

"No, no, let's go home and eat. I'll go back and take a good look at the book and get ready. ”

He Hansheng refused, picked up the information and was about to leave.

"Good. Then I won't leave you alone. I'll find a bag of these books. ”

Teacher Qiao found a paper bag and put all the materials in it.

He Hansheng went downstairs.

When he got home, He Hansheng told his wife about substitute tutoring.

"Jiahui, a friend of a colleague in our company opened a tutoring class and asked me to go to substitute for a class on the weekend, so I went for four weekends."

"What kind of class?"

"English."

"You haven't done it either, can you?"

"Let's try it first. I just came back from his house, and you brought all the books and materials with you. Maybe we'll have a tutorial class in the future. Now you can make money running tutorial classes. ”

"Take what you can."

"Do you know how much it costs to go a day?"

"How much?"

"Two hundred."

"Really? So much. Isn't it now that tutorial classes are not allowed? ”

"His tutoring class is in Yiyuan."

"So far. It takes more than three hours to go back and forth. ”

"Hmm. Let's do it for a day. If it's not suitable, don't go in the future. ”

"Let's eat."

"Hmm."

After He Hansheng finished eating, he began to prepare for English. Since you promised others, you should do it well.

He took notes while reading a book.

Soon, some of the forgotten content slowly remembered again

In between work, he also looks up the relevant grammar explanations on the Internet. Although he only needed to prepare one unit, he read the entire book.

On Saturday afternoon, taking advantage of the lack of people in the office, he quietly finished making a copy of the practice paper.

In the evening, he received a WeChat message from Mr. Qiao: Hansheng, leave at half past five tomorrow morning. I'll pick you up at the gate of your community.

He Hansheng replied: Okay.

The next morning, He Hansheng got up at five o'clock.

He washed up, ate a few pieces of bread, and went to the gate of the community.

It wasn't bright outside, it was pitch black, and it was a little cold. I didn't expect to do a part-time job earlier than to go to work.

He stood on the side of the road and waited. The street lights are dim, and occasionally a few cars pass by.

The cold air went straight into his clothes, and He Hansheng put on the hat of the down jacket.

Soon, a car pulled up next to him.

"Hansheng, get in the car."

"Teacher Qiao, it's early." He Hansheng opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"You see, how much people look like teachers."

Only then did He Hansheng notice that there were still people sitting in the back row.

"Hansheng, this is my mother."

"Auntie, good morning."

"Hansheng, what do you do?"

"I work in sales at the company."

"Oh. Pretty good. Seeing that you are polite, I thought you were also a teacher. ”

Aunt Joe is very talkative, and along the way, they have been chatting non-stop.

Because he got up early, He Hansheng wanted to squint for a while to catch up on sleep, but he didn't expect to be chatting all the time.

Aunt Joe is very kind and welcoming. Although it was the first time we met, I didn't feel unfamiliar.

At seven o'clock, the car stopped in front of a bungalow.

"Hansheng, you and my mother come down first, and I still have to pick up a few students."

"Okay."

Aunt Joe took the vegetables from the trunk as well.

"This is the house we rented. You can cook here at noon or take a break here. ”

"Oh. Where are the classes held? "He Hansheng doesn't think he will take classes here.

"Look at the buildings on the side of the road in front of you, where are the classrooms?"

"That's pretty close."

"Hmm."

"Auntie, I'll help you with the dishes."

He Hansheng saw that Aunt Qiao was about to open the door, and hurriedly took the dishes.

They went into the house.

Usually no one lives there, but the house is very clean.

"Hansheng, the students should come in a while. Let's go to the front classroom and open the door. ”

"yes, okay."

He Hansheng carried his bag and followed Aunt Qiao to the classroom.

There are two classrooms, the first floor and the second floor. There are blackboards, tables and stools, air conditioners, water dispensers, etc.

Aunt Qiao turned on the air conditioner and then tidied up the table and stools.

He Hansheng also helped sweep the floor and put on garbage bags.

"Aunt Qiao, is Teacher Qiao going to pick up all the students?"

"No, it's just four or five away, and it's inconvenient for parents to send it. The others are sent by parents. ”

Students are coming one after another.

He Hansheng enthusiastically told them that the first year of junior high school was on the first floor, and the second year of junior high school went to the second floor, and also told them to pay attention to the stairs when going upstairs

At eight o'clock, classes began.

He Hansheng first attended the first year of junior high school. Due to the thorough preparation, the class went smoothly. The students are also very disciplined and very studious.

The feeling of imparting knowledge and being respected is touching and warm. In the moment of class, he felt like a teacher. I feel at ease and proud. Since he majored in Chinese, he translated sentences accurately and appropriately. After a few lessons, the students enjoyed his lessons.

At lunchtime, Mr. Qiao was also pleasantly surprised.

"Han Sheng, you're very powerful. The students have told you that you have done a good job. ”

"This is the first time to substitute teach, so I really have no experience."

"It's already good."

"I found that these students are also quite sensible and very studious."

"That is, most of their families are in the countryside, and they cherish the opportunity."

"If they are willing to learn, I am more willing to speak, and I feel that forty minutes in a class is not enough."

"That's great."

"Han Sheng, when you finish eating, you can go back to the bungalow and rest for a while. Come back at half past one in the afternoon. ”

"No, I don't have to. I'll be here with you. ”

"It's been a long time. Go over and take a break. I'll just watch here. ”

After eating, He Hansheng went back to the bungalow.

Aunt Qiao was very polite and specially cleaned up a room for He Hansheng to rest.

The three classes in the afternoon were also completed smoothly.

On the way back, Mr. Qiao transferred 200 yuan to He Hansheng on WeChat.

"Teacher Qiao, don't be in such a hurry. It's okay to settle accounts together after you finish it. ”

"We settle the salary every day, which saves trouble and doesn't need to keep accounts."

"Okay, thanks." He Hansheng was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"Hansheng, you really should be a teacher. You see, you meet all the conditions of the teacher. ”

"Hehe, it's so easy to be a teacher."

They talked and laughed all the way.

Teacher Qiao sent He Hansheng to the gate of the community.

"Han Sheng, I'll go back next Sunday."

"Okay."

Walking in the community, He Hansheng was full of joy and joy. I didn't expect the first day of substitute teaching, and the effect was so good. Although I took a day of class, my voice was a little hoarse, and my legs were a little sore, but what I did was what I liked, and I didn't need to disobey my will and disguise, and it was worth it to be tired.
