tenth year of teaching

Chapter 2 Graduation
In June 2008, during the graduation season, the Normal University campus was filled with chaos and farewells.

After going through the intense job hunting stage, the graduates basically already have a home.Chu Xia is very tired of the feeling of being crowded on the bus full of various smells to go to work, although she has not really experienced it yet.

Squeezing the subway and bus a few times during the internship made her sick to death. She saw on the news that someone squeezed out her shoes when getting on the subway in the morning rush hour. During the struggle, they simply gave up their right to find a job in the urban area.

However, this year, the Yuyang District Education Committee recalled all the students who graduated from the district. It is said that a new high school was built, and the number of students increased year by year. In order to meet the pressure for further studies in the district, the Education Committee also made great efforts to recruit many new graduates for employment. , as for all genuine undergraduates who graduated from the Normal University in this area are recalled.

Most of Chu Xia's luggage was taken home early in the morning by Lao Chu. Since the graduates were informed that they had to collect their files today, Chu Xia did not follow the car home.

She turned out of the door of Dormitory No. 4 and walked on the Normal University campus. When she was about to leave the dormitory area, she found a dark quilt hanging on the top of a four-story locust tree in front of Dormitory No. 1.

In early summer, I suddenly remembered that during the 06 World Cup in Germany, when the power was cut off at midnight, there was the most noisy situation in Building 1. First, many books were torn out from the window and fluttered like snowflakes, and then basins of water continued to pour from the building. Water pouring from top to bottom, and finally the pot-banging ensemble.Of course, the final result is to restore power and delay the power outage until the end of the World Cup.It’s just that the campus cleaning staff cried for several days. The water-soaked papers all stuck to the stone pavement the next day, like small advertisements, which were difficult to clean.

A small garden separates the dormitory area and the teaching area. In early summer, I walked in the corridor covered with wisteria and looked at the pairs of campus lovers outside the corridor.She thought of her ex-boyfriend, a top student from Shandong University of Science and Technology, who she had been hanging out with on campus half a year ago, but now she couldn't escape the fate of breaking up right after graduation.

Before noon, there was a breeze blowing under the shadow of the vines, and the sun shone in spots. On the stone chairs on both sides of the corridor, there were some students reading books and doing exercises next to each other.

I was still preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination in the early summer of last year, but my four years of college studies were neither good nor bad.She is a middle-class student who doesn't work particularly hard but never fails her exams.The best time I managed to get a Category III scholarship was without any extra points for part-time work.

The choice of the Normal University was actually very dramatic. I made a mistake when I took the high school entrance examination in early summer and was 3 points short of entering the city's key No. [-] middle school.I had no choice but to go to the No. [-] Key Middle School in the district. The class teacher was Lao Geng, who taught chemistry.

Lao Geng is not old. He was in his early thirties when he met in early summer. His husband was a pilot and was stationed at a base in the south all year round.There is a baby at home who is under one year old. By the time Lao Geng took him to his senior year of high school, the baby would be three years old and his parents were not around due to poor health.In the third year of high school, Lao Geng took care of the small treasures and took care of the big treasures. During an evening self-study before the college entrance examination, everyone was very nervous about reviewing, and Lao Geng sat in front to review the tests.Xiaobao stood on the chair and reached to draw on the blackboard. After a while, he suddenly turned around and called his mother and said loudly: "I drew a bunch of smelly things."

Senior high school students are sensitive and will burst into laughter at the slightest movement. Everyone looked up at Xiaobao, who was still laughing silly, and suddenly burst into thunderous laughter, slapping the table and laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe. .The principal who happened to be on duty moved to the third floor of the high school and was shocked. The next day he criticized Lao Geng for not bringing his children to school.Lao Geng had no choice but to leave Xiaobao at a neighbor's house for the last month or so. Xiaobao often fell asleep before Lao Geng took him home.Such an old man, who often sacrificed his little one for his big one, was diagnosed with diabetes in the first year of college after their senior year of high school in early summer. This so-called aristocratic disease was caused by his irregular diet and extreme fatigue. .

I went to see Lao Geng during the holidays, and she happily invited everyone to make dumplings for dinner together.It’s just that Geng, who was not fat in the first place, has become thinner. She said that her husband, who is a pilot, will soon become a full-time employee and will not be so hard by then.

Xiaobao, who was already in kindergarten, sat obediently in front of the TV and watched the news broadcast quietly. While Lao Geng was cooking dumplings, Chuxia squatted down and asked Xiaobao why he didn't watch cartoons.Xiaobao said: "Sister, this station flies planes. My dad flies planes. The planes that blow out smoke are very cool. I want to see if I can see dad?"

Chu Xia's eyes were moist, and the old man who never complained, only knew how to lead everyone to work hard, was always pressed in her heart, and a teacher's dream gradually formed in her heart.

In fact, Dr. Zheng, Chuxia’s mother, has a family tradition of being a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. There were three doctors of traditional Chinese medicine in my grandfather’s family.In early summer, my grades in the first and second grades of No. [-] Middle School were always above average, and I was probably in the top [-] of my grade. It was quite difficult to get into this grade.Therefore, Dr. Zheng had always planned to let Chu Xia take over. Even when he was sorting out arts and science classes, he insisted on letting Chu Xia choose science, just to prepare for studying medicine.

Who would have thought that during the holiday before the senior year of high school, my father was laid off early in early summer. During the holiday, I learned how to drive a car and borrowed money from relatives and friends to buy a car and ran to the city to drive a taxi.Less than a month later, Lao Chu, who didn’t know the car or the road, came back full of food. When he was rushing back after getting a change of clothes, he was bumped into by Chu Xia.Lao Chu was surprised by how thin Lao Chu was. At night, when he saw Dr. Zheng hiding in the house crying, he realized that Lao Chu had hit someone. Not only had he not made any money in more than a month, but he had also lost a lot of money.

Chu Xia seemed to grow up overnight, and she began to immerse herself in reading.Wake up on time at 15 o'clock in the morning with the alarm clock and do the questions in the unmanned aisle behind the cafeteria. I run for dinner at noon and solve it in 11 minutes each time. Then I go back to class and continue to do the questions. In the senior year of high school, I prepared to continue reading in the study room until 30:12, and when I returned to the dormitory, I had to turn on the emergency light and continue working on the questions until 30:[-].I worked hard like this for half a year, and by the end of the first semester of my senior year, I had gone from being ranked among the top [-] in my grade to the top [-] in my grade.

Fortunately, the principal gave special approval to senior high school students. In the second semester, the top 6 students in science and the top 7 students in liberal arts were sent to No. [-] Middle School, a key high school in XC District, for tutoring every Saturday. Six courses a day were taught by special teachers.With [-] days a week and two evening self-study sessions per week, Chu Xia absorbed the guidance from a famous teacher from No. [-] Middle School eagerly and followed whatever the teacher said.

What impressed me the most was that the super handsome special teacher from the No. 29 Middle School Physics Belt Competition gave them a proof question paper during the last tutoring session before the college entrance examination. There were two and a half papers with about [-] questions in total.The teacher told everyone that they can find the proof process directly from the textbook, and if they are asked to do it again, they will definitely appear in the college entrance examination.

In early summer, I buttoned the questions carefully one by one according to the question number. At that time, the second model was already completed.Many students in the class have already started to keep warm, and it is time to take a break at noon. Occasionally, three or two people gather in the class and chat for a while at the back of the classroom.

Only Chu Xia sat unmoved at the first table by the window and chirped away at the questions, completely oblivious to everything going on around him.

The results of Model [-] and Model [-] continued to rise, and she had already entered the top ten in her grade in early summer. Lao Geng was very optimistic about her.But the bald old Su, a master of physics, told Lao Chu at the parent-teacher meeting that it would be best to stay in early summer.Chu Xia didn't say anything when Lao Chu relayed it, but she kept holding back her energy. Who said girls can't be outstanding in physics.When the stubbornness in early summer came up, she couldn't pull the nine cows back, so she just immersed herself in solving the questions. If there were no new questions, she would do the old questions twice and three times.

During the college entrance examination, except for English in early summer, she did very well. When checking her scores, she exceeded the first line by more than 30 points, and got the key line as expected. She ranked first in the school in physics, which shocked the bald old Su.

Logically, I have enough points to go to the Medical University, but why did I get to the Normal University in early summer?
