tenth year of teaching

Chapter 26 Competition Class
December is the busiest time, and the training college has announced the district-level competition.

Lao Ren privately asked Chu Xia to participate, but she had a lawsuit on her head.The class needs to be closely monitored in terms of quantitative moral education and teaching results. The final exam is coming soon, which is the time to work hard.To be honest, she was scared from the bottom of her heart and didn't want to participate in this competition.

But Chu Xia's character determines that she will not reject others easily, especially Teacher Ren, who has helped her a lot in teaching.

Every day from 6 o'clock in the morning to 9 o'clock in the evening, self-study is required. During the day, I need to prepare lessons and approve homework for class, talk to individual students during self-study in the evening, and tutor poor students at noon.Only when the self-study students returned to the dormitory could she free up her hands to prepare for the competition class.

First, we consult a large amount of information to determine the topic, and then we endlessly test experimental phenomena and data, and repeatedly modify the teaching design.Every time a draft is completed, the master and Teacher Ren will make various suggestions, not to mention having to conduct one or two rounds of trial lectures.

This kind of display competition class can help young teachers grow up quickly in a short period of time, but Chu Xia really can't tell how effective regular teaching is.It's just that I obviously feel that I don't have enough energy. When I am extremely tired, I start to do a lot of things perfunctorily.

After class this day, Chu Xia was stopped by An Lei who was waiting at the door of the office building.

"What have you been busy with recently? Why do you look so bad?" An Lei grabbed her arm and asked.

"The teaching and research staff arranged a district-level competition class." Chu Xia pursed her lips and said aggrievedly.

"It won't be like this in one competition class."

"The grades in our class are not good."

"So what if it's not good? Is it bad in your hands? Isn't it bad from the beginning?" An Lei looked indifferent.

"Shouldn't we work harder?" she asked in confusion with her eyes widened.

"You definitely need to work hard, but you won't risk your life in it. You can never finish things at work, and you have to learn to put off some things!" An Lei looked at the silly Chu Xia with some helplessness. "Come on, let's go out for a meal tonight."

"I still have a lot of things to do." Chu Xia muttered reluctantly.

An Lei glared at her, Chu Xia didn't dare to say anything anymore, and obediently went back to the office to get her bag and followed An Lei out of the school gate.

An Lei drove left and right through the morning market in the north of the city and stopped in front of a kebab shop.When I got off the bus in Chu Xia, I looked at the dark sign at the door that said "One Dime" Kebab Fang, and felt a little funny.

An Lei pushed the door open and motioned for her to follow, and Chu Xia quickly ran into the store.

The store looks very simple like the outside. As soon as you enter the door, there are two rows of fully transparent glass freezers, which contain a variety of cold dishes.There are a lot of people in the store, and the seats are basically full. Even though the summer skewers are the most popular season, there are still so many people, which seems very famous.

An Lei was inquiring about the waiter's location when a man against the wall inside shouted: "An Lei, come here."

He looked up, immediately smiled, and walked over. "Why is your kid here too? Alone?"

"I had an appointment with someone, but I was released temporarily. Come, together?"

"That's necessary." An Lei turned around and asked Chu Xia to sit down together.

"Why? Are you still bringing your girlfriend?"

"Fuck you." An Lei smiled and punched him, then turned to Chu Xia and introduced: "This is the future director Wang Hao."

"Hello, Director!" Chu Xia greeted obediently.

The two burst into laughter, and Wang Hao quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, I'm just a kid."

An Lei took the menu and asked Chu Xia: "What do you eat?"

"Anything is fine." I rarely eat barbecue in early summer.

An Lei looked at her, smiled, and discussed with Wang Hao.

The two of them look familiar?Chu Xia pulled the greasy mutton skewers in front of her, not having much appetite, and listening to the two people chatting about all kinds of things.She was a little absent-minded. She originally planned to sort out the three drafts of the competition class tonight. The idea was basically settled, but there was an experiment demonstration phenomenon that couldn't be adjusted correctly. The drugs and concentrations were re-prepared, but it still didn't work. What was the problem? Where is it?

"Chu Xia, Chu Xia!"

"Hey, eh?" She shivered before she realized that it was An Lei calling. "What's wrong?"

"Seeing as you haven't eaten much, why don't you order something else?" An Lei came over and asked gently.

Chu Xia looked at the untouched skewers on the plate and said, "No, I'm not really hungry."

"Eat so little?"

"Lose weight." She replied with a smile.

"Hey, look at how caring you are. You forgot to grow up when you had a wife!" Wang Hao joked exaggeratedly.

"Fuck you, I can't even keep my mouth shut after eating." An Lei scolded with a smile.

Chu Xia sounded a little happy, but also a little awkward.She was a little confused about what was wrong, and because she had something on her mind, she felt a little bored after eating the meal.

Originally, she thought it was a dinner for two, where she could express her innermost feelings to An Lei and ask for advice on some recent doubts.Well, it turned into a three-person meal, and Wang Hao on the opposite side looked very outside, humorous, and kept joking about her relationship with An Lei, but Chu Xia knew that An Lei had never clearly stated the relationship between the two.She is reserved and not good at expressing her thoughts, especially feelings. She has always been accustomed to passive acceptance.If he doesn't say it, she won't say it.

Wang Hao made several jokes. Seeing that Chu Xia was so quiet and didn't talk much, An Lei naturally didn't pick up the joke, feeling a little bored.After the meal was almost done, Wang Hao suggested that they go to KTV together to play for a while.An Lei asked Chu Xia what she meant, but she was thinking about her course design and politely refused.

On the way back to school, she felt drowsy under the warm wind.An Lei looked at Chu Xia, who was sitting silently in the passenger seat, and sighed softly.When he arrived at the school gate, Chu Xia got out of the car and pulled up his scarf to cover his mouth and nose. He turned around and waved goodbye to An Lei, then hurried back to the office.

An Lei looked at the hand that had just been raised and said "Goodbye." Before he could fully say it, Chu Xia's figure disappeared into the night.He silently looked at the direction in which Chu Xia's figure disappeared. After a while, he suddenly started the car, made a sharp U-turn, and drove towards the road he came from.

An Lei's home is not far from the school, only about 10 minutes' drive away. He parked his car downstairs.After getting out of the car, I didn't rush upstairs. I stood in front of the flower bed in the community and lit a cigarette. In the dark night, the cigarette butt flashed brightly and dimly under the dim street lights.

Wang Hao's reply after dinner flashed in his mind: "This one is beautiful, and the one from last time is not bad. Besides, the one from last time was eloquent and could mediate the atmosphere. Brother, to be honest, this one is not suitable." You are too boring."

An Lei was a little worried. Chu Xia was a bit introverted, more delicate than stunning, and it was not his favorite dish.I just don't know when I started to fall in love with her. Maybe it was during military training when I watched her follow the students' clumsy training in a strict manner?Maybe you blush whenever you talk to yourself?Maybe it's because she always looks at him with admiration?In short, I don’t know when I started to pay more and more attention to her, and I wanted to know more about her.

But, is she really suitable for me?An Lei pressed the cigarette end in the flower bed and twisted it fiercely, then turned and went upstairs.
