3 Chapter 3
The weather in late August is still very hot.
The training content of the new teacher is not much, and Chu Cheng has enough time to stay in the air-conditioned room office to clean up his workstation and communicate with his new colleagues.
There are currently 9 teachers in the second year of Chinese in the 10th high school, all of whom are experienced veterans. Counting the whole school, he is the only new Chinese teacher recruited in recent years, and he only teaches one class. It seems to really mean who is unlucky?
Thinking about it this way, Chu Cheng can understand Yu Siting's dissatisfaction at the beginning.
On the first day of students' return to school, the campus was bustling with people one after another.
The classroom of Class 7 of the second year of high school is on the fourth floor of the main building, on the diagonal side of the corridor of the language group. Chu Cheng saw many young faces from the office window, and on a whim wanted to see the only class he was leading, so he quietly turned around and poked his head from the most inconspicuous position by the back door.
In recent years, in response to the call of the Provincial Department of Education, the school has no longer openly divided elite classes according to grades. But according to Chu Cheng's understanding, the current Class 7 is still full of top students, accounting for almost one-third of the top 100 players in the whole grade, and it is a veritable top class.
There are dozens of sets of white tables and chairs in the classroom, and each person has a matching floor-to-ceiling file shelf next to him, which is full of all kinds of textbooks, books, notes and test papers. Students are shuttling around, tidying up or laughing.
It's easy to be swept away by vitality when you look at such a scene. Chu Cheng couldn't help but recall the time when he was studying.
Suddenly, a tall, thin figure in a short-sleeved hoodie squeezed through the door beside him.
"Let's make it."
The man unloaded his schoolbag in the last row, turned around and looked back, revealing a delicate young man's face, looking at Chu Cheng curiously, and naturally throwing out a question: "New here?" β
Chu Cheng was a self-acquaintance, only smiled and acquiesced, without making a sound.
The other party then spoke again: "Repeated?" β
It turns out that he will really be recognized as a student of the same level, no wonder the tone of the dialogue sounds casual.
Chu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then raised his lips: "I look old?" β
He was already young, with clear smiling eyes, and when he smiled, he showed neat and small teeth, and his appearance was even more childish. Such a rhetorical question is even more difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
"Not really." The boy also bent his eyes and smiled handsomely, "Because I haven't seen you in the year before." And it feels like you're a little ...... Handsomeness that doesn't belong to your age. β
Chu Cheng nodded in praise: "Can speak." β
"Lu Yan, go on!" A shout interrupted the conversation between the two.
The boy looked in the direction of the sound, and with a bang, a basketball went straight into his arms.
"Hey, my new clothes." Lu Yan let the basketball spin at his fingertips, and threw it back with a playful force.
Suddenly, a ball thrown back and forth from high startled the girls in the front row. A strange voice came from the classroom: "Class leader, can you not take the lead in making trouble as soon as you enter the door?" I went to my eldest brother to report it! You see if he can take you away! β
"Hey~ don't don't." It seems that the word "big brother" is quite useful. Lu Yan hurriedly withdrew his hand, sat down honestly, and pulled out the seat next to him, and gestured to Chu Cheng, who was still standing by the door frame, "Sit down first, there is no one in this position." β
As the class leader of Class 7, this boy named Lu Yan seems to be very popular, and as soon as he sat down, a bunch of classmates gathered around him.
Chu Cheng also managed to blend in with the group chat.
The topics of the new school year are nothing more than homework, holidays, gossip, and games. The focus of the teenage children, Chu Cheng has long been out of interest.
Until a male classmate suddenly mentioned: "By the way, do you know, Teacher You won't teach us this semester." β
The girl who was joking about going to make a report just now turned her head and said in an unusually regretful tone: "Huh? Why? β
"It seems to be some kind of miscarriage-prone constitution that needs to be recuperated. I heard that the substitute teacher is a new teacher who just graduated this year, so he taught us a class. β
"Isn't it? The school leaders see that the science teachers in our class are too strong, do they have to neutralize it? Just in the first year of high school, I had menopausal irritability, and the whole class voted for the joint book and finally replaced it, how long did Teacher You teach? Engage again! My half-baked language is completely in jeopardy. β
The Chinese foundation of our class was already poor, and I just got a little better when I met a responsible teacher......
Chu Cheng remembered what he heard Yu Siting say outside the Academic Affairs Office before. It turns out that Class 7 has had this kind of thing.
"Don't say anything too early. The school will not repeatedly pit its own pro-students, right? If it's really bad, can our big brother agree? The desk in the Academic Affairs Office is still not lifted for him? β
"Although language is very dependent on talent and understanding, I always feel that new teachers will lack experience."
Except for Chu Cheng and Lu Yan, the rest of the people gathered together expressed their opinions, and suddenly everyone's eyes fell on the two of them.
Chu Cheng pondered for a long time, and said softly: "However, all teachers have never been experienced. β
Lu Yan glanced at him, squinted his eyes and smiled, and agreed: "So, I never discriminate against the younger party, and I have passion." β
"The head teacher is also young, right? You've been calling him all the time...... Eldest brother? Chu Cheng naturally cued to Yu Siting, wanting to try to get a clichΓ© from the mouths of this group of pro-students.
"Aang." Lu Yan raised one-sided eyebrows, "The boss is not big." If you can't find a partner at his age, do you think there will be some reason? β
Such a natural and sincere complaint made Chu Cheng purse his lips and laugh.
Lu Yan wanted to say something more, but the party who had just been smeared happened to enter the door.
"Lu ......" Yu Siting leaned out from the front door of the classroom, his eyes fell straight to the back, and his voice paused when he saw Chu Cheng, and then he continued, "Come out for a while." β
"Call me, or call him?" Lu Yan noticed the slightest abnormality and hesitated to ask.
Yu Siting responded with a cold voice: "You." β
Lu Yan let out an "oh", and his movements when he got up were very quick, and he looked like he should be quite stunned by this big brother.
Yu Siting glanced at him again when he turned to leave, as if he still wondered why Chu Cheng was sitting in his class, and he looked like he was chatting with the cubs.
After the class leader left, the rest of the students were still chatting around his seat. Hatsusumi extracted more information about the class.
At the end of the just-concluded senior high school year, the annual department underwent a reshuffle of science selection, but the configuration of class 7 remained almost unchanged. Now most of the students in the class are still old students brought by Yu Siting, and their grades are outstanding.
The recognition of this "magic king of mathematics and science" by the top students can be seen.
Chu Cheng listened to it and suddenly came back to his senses.
Hey, no, how did the stereotype of young teachers become unanimously praised by Yu Siting here? That's not what you just said.
"Which student and parent can refuse the god-level buff of the eldest brother's 'bringing out the champion every year'? I remember when I was about to choose a subject and class in high school, 80% of the consultation and visits were for him. Isn't our squad leader the next city champion reserve? β
"But the eldest brother has been taking graduates before, and last year seemed to be his first year of high school."
"Yes, perhaps because of the college entrance examination and the reform of the education system, many teachers in the top ten middle schools have been transferred by year."
"What, the main reason is actually ......"
[Ding-]
Chu Cheng's mobile phone suddenly rang to alert him, and the students' discussion was interrupted.
[All teachers of the Language Section are invited to the lecture hall for a meeting.] οΌ½
After Chu Cheng saw the content of the notice, he deducted a 1 from the formation and got up and went out.
There was also a kind reminder from a student behind him: "If you don't mute, if you are found by the eldest brother, the mobile phone will be gone." β
"It's okay, he doesn't care about me." Chu Cheng turned his head and waved his hand at the group, motioning for them to continue chatting.
Except for the sweepers arranged by each class, there were few people in the corridor at this time.
Yu Siting's long and straight back stood at the corner of the stairs, holding the textbook in one hand, and holding the tip of the book against Lu Yan's arm, talking about something.
Although I couldn't hear the voices of the two, judging from the posture of the top student with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, he was probably trained very fiercely.
Sure enough, it is strictly required according to the root seedlings of the champion.
Chu Cheng sighed to himself for two seconds, and went down from the other side of the road.
*
At the beginning of the semester, meetings were frequent, especially for new teachers. In addition to some regular practice and evaluation arrangements, the academic affairs team also assigned a master to Chu Cheng. Teacher Yang, the head of the Chinese teaching and research team in the second year of high school.
He is a kind little old man, like the physics teacher in Class 7, he is almost at the age of retirement, but he is extremely gentle and patient with all kinds of strange questions raised by Chu Cheng.
According to the practice of the 10th Middle School, the last week of August is the reception class before the official start of school. Students need to go to and from school according to the normal schedule during the semester, and then watch the online class videos in each classroom and listen to the explanation of the holiday homework topics.
All the videos of the Chinese subjects in the second group of senior two were recorded by Ms. Yang alone. Chu Cheng will help the master as long as he has time. Mr. Yang is knowledgeable and his teaching style is light-hearted and concise. Every time he watched from the sidelines, he felt that he had learned a lot.
In the multimedia classroom, Mr. Yang has just finished recording part of the class. He turned off the radio, unscrewed the teacup and drank water, and looked at the young man who was writing a teaching design with his head down.
"How many versions have you changed?"
Chu Cheng wrote attentively, and only when he heard the voice did he raise his head and smiled: "I always feel that it is a little worse." β
Teacher Yang took it and looked at it, and when he landed on the paper, he couldn't help but admire: "The calligraphy is really good." β
Although Chu Cheng has lost patience after writing for a long time, the strokes on the second half of the book are drawn randomly, but it can still be seen that the mature pen body is sharp, and every mention is a bone.
Teacher Yang tasted for a moment and added a sentence: "It's not like three or five years of kung fu, it's practiced since childhood, right?" β
"Yes, but ...... What about the other than the handwriting? "Chu Cheng was born in a family of Chinese studies, and almost everyone in the family, whether young or old, can write well. He has been exposed to it since he was a child, and of course he doesn't think there is anything to boast about. At this time, he was still staring at Teacher Yang with a well-behaved expression, wanting the other party to comment more on the teaching design itself.
"Hmm......" Teacher Yang saw through his thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "I think your first version is good." This version, too, is pretty much the same. β
Chu Cheng understood: "So, it's still the same after changing it for a long time." β
Teacher Yang smiled: "Teaching design is generally written by normal students and those engaged in theoretical research. If you don't participate in competitions and don't evaluate excellence, why do you have to write so well? β
Chu Cheng couldn't answer for a while.
Without waiting for him to think about it, Mr. Yang asked again: "Have you ever been an intern before?" β
Chu Cheng nodded: "Yes, but at that time, it was with the graduating class, and the students were always reviewing." So ......"
So, he hasn't given a full new lecture on stage yet.
"That means you're better at lecturing on exercises?" Teacher Yang asked again.
Although the posture of the conversation between the two is very relaxed, if Chu Cheng answers 'yes', he still feels a little weak.
Teacher Yang didn't hear an answer for a long time, and he already had a rough idea in his heart. In fact, he can fully understand that Chu Cheng will be very stressed as the only new teacher in the whole group, especially in Class 7.
He took off the radio device hanging from his neckline, and while sorting out the thin lines with his hands, he naturally proposed: "Since you have free time, why don't you talk about a set of things?" β
"Huh?" Chu Cheng was stunned, "But I haven't finished writing the teacher training report yet." β
"What is this, front-line teachers have to stand on the podium to test." Teacher Yang handed over the teaching design along with the test paper folder, and made a decision, "Give you half a day to prepare for the class, and you can record it in the evening, and I will listen to it next to you." I don't need to write about those materials, and I'm going to show them in the end anyway. β
Chu Cheng heard the meaning of kindness and rescue from the tone of his senior, and immediately happily accepted the material: "Thank you, Master!" β
The morning's work is finally over.
Chu Cheng was already sitting with a sore back. He walked out of the multimedia classroom with a thick stack of materials, and when he locked the door with one hand, the rolls were blown away by the wind.
There was a rustling of footsteps in my ears.
"Which teacher do you run errands for? It's like moving. Lu Yan, who happened to be passing by, walked down the stairs quickly, and grabbed the paper that was almost blown away first, "Do you want to help?" β
"Well, the language group on the fifth floor." Hatsumi smiled gratefully.
Although he didn't have much contact, Hatsu Cheng had a good first impression of this child. Cheerful and generous, smart and sensible, it would be good if he could be appointed as a class representative in the future.
Lu Yan picked up the sorted test papers, walked side by side with Chu Cheng, and asked casually, "Why haven't I seen you in the past two days?" β
Chu Cheng replied truthfully: "I have nothing to do with the heart class, and I will naturally see it when the school officially starts." β
"Also, repeaters don't have to hand in summer homework." Lu Yan didn't have the slightest doubt, and walked forward to complain to himself, "But if you don't come, the place next to me will be vacant again." From time to time, I was requisitioned by the inspection post, so that I didn't even dare to move my neck in class. β
"It shows that your eldest brother is dutiful." To be honest, Chu Cheng comforted the students with a little bit of standing and talking without backache.
If this happened when he was in high school, just by imagining Yu Siting's cold face, he would already be out of breath.
"Aren't you all afraid of him, though?"
"Well, people with a bad personality like him are usually outsiders...... Uh~" Lu Yan walked around the corner of the corridor, just raised his head, and swallowed back halfway through his words.
Chu Cheng followed his gaze and happened to be staring at Yu Siting who was standing at the door of the math group. The speculative appearance of the two talking about speculation just now was all under his eyes.
"Teacher Yu, good afternoon." Chu Cheng was the first to speak.
Yu Siting nodded slightly, then looked at the student, and resumed his usual cold voice: "I'm looking for you, come in." β
Lu Yan naturally knew that nothing good would happen if he was called into the office by his eldest brother, so he took the opportunity to hold up the test paper in his arms and said tentatively: "I'll help the new classmates in the class send a material...... And, the bell is about to ring. β
New classmates in the class?
Yu Siting's eyebrows raised, obviously digesting the last three words.
Soon, his gaze fell back on Chu Cheng, and he said meaningfully: "Teacher Chu." β
But in Chu Cheng's own ears, this voice was not suddenly understood, but maliciously debunked.
"The Academic Affairs Office has been officially fixed, and the language of our class will work hard for you this semester."
"Where, where the duty lies." Hatsu Cheng had to keep smiling, and glanced to his side.
"Chu ......" Lu Yan repeated in shock, blurted out a word and then silenced, subconsciously taking half a step back.
He looked up at the two office numbers of the adjacent language group and the mathematics group, doubting his life while reflecting on himself, how did he fall into this situation?
After a moment of brain shutdown, Zhuangyuan Genmiao mechanically handed the test paper in his hand back to Chu Cheng: "Teacher Chu, big brother wants to talk to me...... I can't get you into the house. β
Chu Cheng raised his hand slightly embarrassed to take it, and before he could speak, he saw Lu Yan shrink his shoulders and enter the office of the mathematics group, and even the back of his head was written with chagrin.
Looking for a good representative of the language class is about blowing.
Yu Siting was still standing against the wall, his face undisturbed. The current situation seems to have had the desired effect again.
Seeing Chu Cheng standing still, he took a moment to say, "Anything else?" β
"Teacher Yu has worked hard, see you later." Chu Cheng smirked and greeted people, turned his back and changed his face in an instant, and the merit between his upper and lower lips was -1.
Gan, he can turn a blind eye to things, but he is annoying.
No wonder the students complained about their bad personality.
