Chapter 13: A Mentor and a Friend
There will always be some people who will leave something in your life force, and there will always be people who will appear to change you, and this is probably called fate. β
On campus, the students are laughing and laughing under the leadership of their parents, the silkworms on the camphor tree on the campus are hoarse, I am carrying my schoolbag, my grandfather is holding my hand, we both walk into the school gate, or the familiar campus, occasionally there are familiar classmates to greet me.
During the summer vacation, I received a notice that I had signed up for the second class of the third grade, and I began to look at the teachers under the school class building sitting on the seats of two desks, and there were queues in front of each seat, holding the winter vacation homework and registration manual to sign in. The first and second grades were all arranged in order, and after a while I saw the black and white letters of the third and second classes on the wall, and below sat a strong, curly-haired man with dark skin, who was about the same age as my parents.
I pulled my grandfather into the queue, observing the future homeroom teacher from time to time, I only saw that sometimes he could laugh and talk to the students or their parents, sometimes he had no emotion, I couldn't figure out what kind of character he was, although he looked quite kind, but who knows?
"What's your name?"
"Li Siyan"
He filled my name into the form and looked up.
"Give me the booklet and the assignments. Come and clean up in the afternoon, and start classes tomorrow. β
To put it bluntly, I was a little wary of the new homeroom teacher. So I went home with my grandfather, and then I waited for lunch and went to school to clean up.
In the afternoon, I hurried to the school, found the classroom with the words '3rd grade (2) class' on the door, and then slowly stepped into the classroom, and saw that many students had already arrived, some of them were cleaning seriously, some were talking and laughing, and only some of them were still in the original class, but most of them did not play together in the original class.
On the way here, I heard that there are three classes this year, if that is the case, maybe I will meet Wang Yan and Huang Qi, will I meet? I'm thinking.
'yes, are they there?' I looked around as I cleaned, but I didn't see them, and I was a little disappointed, and I felt like I had entered a strange environment again.
When the sanitation was almost cleaned, a dark-skinned man entered the classroom and stood on the podium, and this person was the head teacher.
"Don't leave after cleaning, I'll take a roll call and talk about some school start-up matters." After saying that, he walked straight out.
After cleaning and moving the seats, the students basically found their own seats and sat down, and I chose to sit in the middle row of the right hand side of the podium against the wall, which felt more secure.
I put my back against the wall and put my left arm on the desk to look around, basically the girls are together, the boys are in a bunch, and as expected, there will be a big change in seats in a few weeks. I saw that there were a few spare tables in the back that no one sitted, and I counted the number of people there were thirty-four, and the classroom would be empty if I sat in the current seating order, but that would depend on the homeroom teacher's arrangement.
There was a commotion in the classroom, and I was staring at the clock hanging above the blackboard.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the homeroom teacher walked into the classroom again, but with an extra teaching stick in his hand. The stick was very intimidating, and the head teacher's face was kind, but all the students in the audience were instantly silent. As expected, the teacher first introduced himself.
He didn't speak at first, and wrote two words on the blackboard, Chen Wu. And only then do we get to the point. And those two words are pretty good-looking.
"That's my name, and I think you've guessed that I'm your homeroom teacher, and I'm your music teacher and then your math teacher." He paused and looked at the students around him.
I can feel that he is friendly, from his introduction first introduced himself as a music teacher, which makes my heart feel a lot of oppression, I think this is our students' sensitivity to the subject, especially Chinese and mathematics, the sense of oppression, and even the teachers with these two subjects are like a fierce and vicious feeling.
The next moment I didn't expect him to show off to us.
"Although I teach you vocal music, I can do a lot, I can do everything, I can do everything, I don't believe it, who wants to come and show you my hand."
"I" ...... The students all raised their hands actively, and I looked at the front and back of the hands, and I hesitated a little embarrassed. Forget it, let's not pay attention. β
"The one who didn't raise his hand."
I was stunned, and I was thinking about it, so I quickly looked at the podium and made eye contact with him.
"Yes, it's you." Teacher Chen grinned, and only then did I realize that his teeth were so white.
My face flushed all of a sudden, and I didn't think much about it. I was about to stand up.
"You don't have to stand up, just sit."
He immediately began to sketch on the blackboard with chalk. After a while, the outline appeared, and the audience immediately applauded.
"It's like huh." At the table next to me, look at my face and the chalk portrait that has taken shape. "Teacher Chen is really good." It's the first time I've seen a guy look at a man with such adoring eyes.
After a while, Mr. Chen's chalk hand stopped, and the same floor plan as mine appeared on the blackboard.
There was another round of applause from the audience, the applause was stronger than before, and some girls didn't have time to applaud even if they sighed.
At this moment, I swept around, and a familiar figure walked by in the window, and a familiar voice came.
"Report teacher, I'm Wang Yan."
"Come in."
Wang Yan came in and found the last random vacant seat to sit down.
Teacher Chen Wu was silently counting the number of people in the classroom.
"There are enough people, now as an adjustment, a few students in the back will move the extra vacant seats to the last position against the wall, and help move out later."
After a few students moved their desks and chairs and returned to their seats, the head teacher began to talk about matters again.
"Now move your seat separately and put your name on a slip of paper on the side of the aisle."
This is equivalent to the loss of our tablemates, and some students sighed a little. After a while, we had it done, and the head teacher turned his head to look at the hour, took the roster over for roll call, and posted the timetable and class schedule before letting us leave.
In the following time, her music lessons were the most active, he would adjust the atmosphere to the highest, he seemed to notice me for a long time, especially in music lessons he would always ask me to get up and say a few laughs. When it comes to music lessons, he will do it in a different way, piano, flute, drums, guitar, etc., I sometimes suspect that he is handsome in front of us, but it also takes strength to be handsome.
His math class is relatively serious, but he will also explain it in some humorous ways, so my math has improved a lot in the three years he has taught, and he can now mention 90 points even if he was 70 or 80 points, and even occasionally top the class.
Not to exaggerate, in the three years he taught us, my personality has become more and more lively, my classmates have said that I have changed my personality, I began to like to make friends, it is precisely Wang Yan who is this kind of character, so I finally integrated into a group with them during the recess vacation. Wang Yan's emotional intelligence is higher than mine, and he always takes care of me from time to time, and I treat him as a brother so far, and the friendship of children is naΓ―ve and pure.
As for Huang Qi, I later found out that she had transferred to another place to go to school, and I heard that her parents had opened a factory in another place, because she had no one to take care of her, so she could only go to her parents' school, although her hometown was in the town, but I didn't know if I could see her again!
The biggest change in Year 3 is the addition of a major subject, English. My biggest problem is memorization, not that I'm lazy with anything else, but I can't memorize English. At that time, I also heard a saying that English was a partial subject. I didn't like it so much, and I thought about learning casually. Later, the homeroom teacher, Mr. Chen, told me: I have to do my best in everything!
In the past three years, we have been both teachers and friends. For three years, he used humorous words to impart philosophy and knowledge to us; In three years, we have become friends across all ages......
