My village can't be like this

Chapter 585 The son speaks

In the afternoon, Su Ying did not finish her class at around 4pm and go home directly like she did in the previous two years.

Wang Fang prepared dinner as usual, and the family was waiting for Su Ying to come back.

But this time, it was until six o'clock, when the sun was almost setting, that Su Ying came back from school.

"Why did school end so late today? Have you been called to a meeting again?"

Zhang An asked after seeing his wife coming home from school so late.

You must know that teachers today do not need to sit in class like later generations, especially teachers in rural primary and secondary schools, who basically leave after class.

In the past, even if Su Ying had classes in the afternoon, she would be back from school at three or four o'clock.

But this semester has just begun on the first day, and it has been delayed until the sun is about to set.

Just now, the road was full of students returning home from school. Zhang An thought they were delayed because the school had temporarily held a meeting for them.

"No, the meeting is over. The main reason is that the school has added a self-study period for the third grade students. All the teachers have to be there to give the students time to ask questions."

Su Ying had been in class for a day and felt a little tired. She twisted her neck while explaining to her family.

"Added a separate self-study period for junior high school students? It doesn't seem like this happened last year."

Zhang An thought about it carefully, and it seems that the third grade student who just graduated in the first half of the year has never heard of such a thing.

"Yes, we didn't have one last year. Because the admission rate of last year's class was really not good enough, we brought it up in front of everyone during the meeting at the European School."

Su Ying shook her head when she talked about Changqing Middle School's admission rate for this year's college entrance examination. It was obvious that it wasn't very good.

"It's okay. Of those students last year, a few were admitted to high school and teachers' college. I think it's pretty good."

Zhang An had already heard about this, but he thought it was understandable.

Because last year's class was the first batch of students recruited by Changqing Middle School after it reopened.

There are many teachers who work directly after graduation and still lack some experience.

As for students, the overall level is lower. They are basically students with middle and lower grades, and they are basically the kind who don't have much hope.

Under such circumstances, in order to be closer to home, adults transferred them. Otherwise, if they were students with good grades, how could their families let them transfer schools midway.

Therefore, in Zhang An's view, it was really a surprise that some students from last year's class were admitted to high school and teachers' college.

"That's right, maybe it's because the students in Zhang Tie's two classes this year have been consistently beating the top classes in the town in terms of performance, which makes the European school feel very promising, so he has this idea. All the students in our grade group The teachers thought it was feasible, so they decided to do it, thinking that it would also give the students more time to study. After all, this year is very important. Instead of going home to help herd cows and mow grass, and stay at school to study and make up lessons, It’s a little bit better to make some progress.”

"Besides, our village school doesn't have dormitories, and many students live far away from home, so we can't have evening self-study like the town middle school. We have much less time than other middle schools in the town and the county, so we can only make up for it as much as we can. Basically, until winter, our two classes in the third grade have self-study."

When Su Ying talked about the classes she led, the smile on her face was very natural.

It's not that she is boasting, Zhang Tie's two classes this year can be said to be very competitive.

Except for the first year of junior high school, my overall performance could only be ranked at the middle level of those classes in the town.

But gradually, with the joint efforts of all their teachers and all students, the overall academic performance first caught up with the top classes of the same grade in the town, then became the same, and finally surpassed.

This simply makes all the teachers and students of Changqing Middle School feel very proud. Even the principal Ou Lin feels very confident every time he goes to the town.

After all, throughout history, those in the village are not as good as those in the town, those in the town are not as good as those in the county, those in the county are not as good as those in the city, and the students in the city are not as good as those in the province. This is a truth that everyone knows.

Nowadays, the students of Changqing Middle School are catching up with those in the town and on par with the schools in the county, which is naturally very encouraging.

However, this kind of thing will have to end in winter. To put it bluntly, the problem is that Changqing Middle School does not have student dormitories.

After all, the days are short in winter, and many students’ homes are far away. If students go home too late, accidents may occur on the road when it gets dark.

"This is indeed a good thing for the students, but for you, it will be very busy."

Zhang An is not a short-sighted person. Although he has at least one more hour of self-study time every day, the cumulative effect is different.

He strongly agreed with what Su Ying said. After returning home from school, most students have to help with household chores. If they want to study, they basically have to wait until night.

It's better to let them concentrate on studying hard in school, which is definitely better than going home to work.

Although it will have a certain impact on the families of many students, these are the times when you can get ahead by studying well. Anyone who knows a little bit about using this time to work hard for the future can understand.

But for teachers like Su Ying, it is really voluntary to work overtime.

After all, the salary of teachers nowadays is really not that good, especially for teachers in villages and towns. Such after-school tutoring must be paid for by oneself.

"What's the point? It's nothing compared to everyone growing crops in the fields. As long as they work hard, get good grades, and have a good account of themselves in the future, we will be happy to see them."

Su Ying shook her head and said that although she had only been a teacher for a few years, her ideological consciousness could be said to be very online.

Most teachers these days are like this, even those who have just graduated from school, are particularly responsible for their students.

"But then, will all the students be willing to do this?"

Zhang An felt that not all students would be willing to stay if the school imposed such a thing unilaterally.

It goes without saying that students with good grades can study for a while, but for students with poor grades, it is really difficult for them to stay in the classroom all the time.

"We have thought of this a long time ago and have said it from the beginning. Those who do not want to stay can go home after school and are not forced to stay. However, all students choose to stay and study by themselves because at the opening ceremony, the European School directly Taking Binzi's admission to college as an example, they are at this age when they cannot be encouraged. I don't know about the other students. Anyway, the students in my two classes are all like chicken blood. They all want to target Binzi and get into college themselves."

Su Ying originally felt like Zhang An that not all students were willing to stay.

But since the opening ceremony, they were provoked by Principal Ou Lin using Zhang Bin as an example. As a result, during the self-study after class, all the students were not absent and everyone was present.

Not only that, teachers like Su Ying and others can clearly feel that the students in the class are more attentive in class than before.

There is another point that Su Ying did not mention, that is, the students who are still in school now basically have the idea of ​​​​fighting in their hearts.

Many people who have poor grades and don't want to go to school have dropped out of school a long time ago and went out to work. Although these days you can get ahead if you study well, but if you don't study well and get a junior high school diploma, it's still useless. It's just a waste of time. Even though there were a few students who were unwilling to attend self-study, they finally chose to stay and do self-study with everyone else.

After all, not everyone likes to go out to cut grass and herd cows when they get home.

After dinner, little Siqi, who had not seen her mother all day, was now being held on Su Ying's lap and was watching TV honestly.

Although the little guy was full of energy all day long, he had already exhausted his energy after being played with by Zhang An all day long.

After all, walking a baby is just that, let him play more, and he will naturally become more honest when he gets tired.

"Mom~~Mom~~~"

At this time, little Siqi, who had been staring at the TV, suddenly opened his mouth in front of the whole family and said the first sentence in his life.

Su Ying was still talking to her mother-in-law. When she first heard this sentence, she didn't have any reaction. When she came back to her senses and found that it was her son calling her, she was stunned.

At this moment, everyone in the family, including Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo, as well as Zhang An, were a little stunned.

Only then did he realize that little Siqi, who had only been babbling all this time, had learned to speak.

"Hey, my baby, mom is here."

At this moment, Su Ying was very excited, and even her voice was trembling when she spoke.

Her son was a piece of flesh that fell off her body. The first time she heard her son cry, the first time she saw her son learn to walk, and the first time she heard her son calling her, as a mother, who could not be excited.

From being pregnant for ten months, to giving birth, to caring for the little one day and night during the confinement period, to the little one toddling, Su Ying, a first-time mother, has put in a lot of effort, but at this moment, she felt that everything It's all worth it.

Then the family's thoughts were no longer on the TV, but directly on Xiao Siqi.

After discovering that their grandson could speak, Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo had already gathered around the little guy. They wanted to try to teach the little guy to speak some more words.

At this moment, there was no place for Zhang An in front of the little guy.

But no matter how they teach her, little Siqi can only call her mother.

Maybe it was because he had just learned to call people, but the little guy kept repeating this sentence with a smile.

At this time, Zhang An suddenly felt that it was not impossible to let his son watch more TV.

Because just when my son learned to call his mother, there was an advertisement showing a three-year-old fat boy staggering around carrying a basin of water to wash his mother's feet on the TV.

And just now, when my precious son heard the little fat man calling his mother in the advertisement, he shouted out.

As a father, the first thing the little guy said was to call mommy. Zhang An didn't have any regrets or jealousy.

Because compared to Su Ying giving birth to her son in ten months of pregnancy, Zhang An felt that his daughter-in-law was completely worth it.

As for the words "Dad" from his son, he is not in a hurry. As a father and son, in his heart, his son will call him sooner or later.

But at night, Zhang An, who originally told himself that he was not in a hurry, gradually became anxious.

Because of the efforts of Su Ying and her parents-in-law, little Siqi has learned to call grandpa and grandma in addition to mom. At this moment, Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo are extremely happy.

Zhang An was so anxious that he hurriedly rushed to his son's side, fearing that the little boy would forget about him.

"Come on son, call daddy, daddy~ daddy~~"

Zhang An taught him word by word, and even separated the pronunciation of each word.

But for some reason, the little guy just couldn't scream. He just kept babbling, which made Zhang An anxious.

But what's the use of being anxious? The little guy didn't learn it until he yawned and drooped his eyelids.

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, Qiqi is dozing off, I'll take him to wash his feet and let him sleep."

Wang Fang was already happy tonight, but when she saw her precious grandson starting to doze off, she immediately took little Siqi away from Su Ying.

At this time, Zhang An felt very unhappy, with an indescribable expression on his face.

"Okay, okay, my son just learned to call people today. There will be more time later. Then you can teach him slowly."

When Su Ying saw her man like this, how could she not understand his mood.

"All four of us in the family can shout, what do you mean, little brat?"

At this moment, Zhang An finally understood what Zhu Ziqing felt when he said, "Happiness is all theirs, I have nothing." It was just like him now.

"That's almost it. You are a father and you are jealous of your child. Are you ashamed?"

Su Ying glared at him, then didn't bother to care about him. She found her pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

At night, Zhang An's uneasy feeling had not subsided. The more he thought about it while lying on the bed, the less energetic he became, so he turned over and walked towards Su Ying on the pillow.

"Daughter-in-law, let's give Qiqi a younger brother and sister."

He thought clearly that his son was only so old and had such a rebellious spirit. While he hadn't yet finished his account, he might as well create a new one and train him carefully.

Su Ying still wanted to speak, but before she could speak, Zhang An blocked her mouth.
Suddenly, the old Zhang family's large-scale project was once again put on the agenda.

Su Ying went to school the next day. Zhang An originally thought that when he took care of the little guy today, he would show him the majesty of a father.

Unexpectedly, when she woke up this morning, Wang Fang gradually became obsessed with the little guy's grandma's screams.

As soon as Wang Fang was happy, she didn't do anything. She just left everything aside and took the little one out to play. He wanted to go wherever he wanted and buy whatever he wanted. It was literally in the palm of his hand.

It was a big deal to go out. Wang Fang walked up to people she met and told them that her grandson could call people, teasing her grandson to call him.

The expression on his face is self-evident, I feel even happier than when the little guy was born.
