tenth year of teaching

Chapter 3 Memories
Walking through the corridor in early summer, directly opposite is the main building of the Physics Department, Teaching [-].

She bypassed Teaching [-] and continued walking along the basketball court, passing by the library, which was Teaching [-].Teaching Class Four is where classes are held in the Department of Chemistry. I have probably walked this path thousands of times in four years of college?Chu Xia felt that she was familiar with the road even with her eyes closed.

This four-story brick-style red building was built in 1954, and its exterior walls are covered with ivy.Warm in winter and cool in summer, the classroom holds memories of the past four years.Walking eastward along Teaching [-] is a high-rise laboratory building, with the chemistry laboratory basically on the third floor.Chu Xia entered the door and pressed the button on the third floor of the old-fashioned elevator. The secretary's office was also on the third floor.

There are various laboratories, offices, etc. on both sides of the corridor. Some dark corridors have various weird smells floating in them. Girls in the chemistry department have never been very likable.Just imagine, how can the girls from the chemistry department who are wearing long white gowns that are full of burnt holes, stained by drugs, and have a strange smell compare to the girls from the foreign language department who are wearing mini skirts?

The sound of her walking echoed in the empty corridor, just like the afternoon when Dr. Zheng rushed her back to school to change her career after her senior year of high school.

When filling out the application form, Dr. Zheng studied the newspaper for a long time.From the first choice to the last choice, including specialties, there are all kinds of medical schools.Chu Xia tried to communicate with Dr. Zheng about applying to the Normal University. Dr. Zheng thought about it and felt that Chu Xia was still close to it, so he agreed to apply to the Normal University as his second choice.

When it was time to submit the application form, Chu Xia secretly transferred Normal University to her first choice.That piece of paper couldn't be simpler: Chemistry, the first major of the first choice Normal University, which was Lao Geng's graduation major.After that, there were all medical schools, with a wide variety of majors from clinical medicine to dentistry, pediatrics, and medical laboratory.

Unexpectedly, when Dr. Zheng found out later, he scolded her for a long time and drove her back to school to change her choice. Chuxia had no choice but to take a bus to the school in the afternoon and found the office to ask the teacher if she could still change her choice.That afternoon, the corridor of the office building was very quiet. Chu Xia stood outside the office door until her feet were numb. She went home without knocking and told Dr. Zheng that the teacher could not change anything.

Dr. Zheng was so angry that he ignored her for several days. In fact, Chu Xia understood Dr. Zheng. An only daughter born in the 80s, she has been cared for under the wings of an old hen since she was a child. She has hardly suffered any hardship.The so-called hardship for college entrance exams is nothing more than drizzle in a greenhouse.

Dr. Zheng has been the source of her ideas since she was little. In fact, when Chu Xia was little, she read a lot of martial arts novels with Lao Chu. After that, she got out of control. In the third grade of elementary school, she read the entire classical Chinese version of Journey to the West in three days. .At that time, Dr. Zheng could not rely on the elderly at home to visit her children because she had four younger brothers and sisters. Her grandfather worked at the Health Bureau and she was busy at home alone. Only in the winter when there was no farm work could Xiao Chuxia go back to live there. Helped take care of it for two months.

Dr. Zheng and Lao Chu, who were both working, had no choice. Chuxia was raised by a nanny in the town when she was one year old, and she went to kindergarten when she was one and a half years old. During that time, she often had her pants pockets untied.There was another year of preschool in between, and she was still too young to go to school in the end. Doctor Zheng tried his best to squeeze her into elementary school.

In early summer, I had a temperament that I would not fight for when no one pushed me, and I was an only child. When there was no one at home, I could only read books to entertain myself. At that time, the TV stations did not have such exciting programs as now.Therefore, although I was not particularly enlightened, I started reading all kinds of books after I almost recognized the characters in the third grade of elementary school. I had to look up the words in the dictionary or guess the words I couldn’t understand, so I still accumulated some writing skills. I originally planned to study literature when I was divided into arts and sciences. , was forced by Dr. Zheng to learn the truth.

It can be said that changing her will is the first time in 17 years that she has violated her parents' will.

Having said that, Dr. Zheng was worried about Chu Xia. She hoped that her daughter would suffer less in the future.Fortunately, thanks to the acquaintance who has a sanitary sanitation at home, the daughter's job will be settled in the future, and her career will go smoothly. This is also the common wish of parents in this era.

But seeing that the little girl who had been obeying advice since she was a child has now grown up and has her own ideas.She never refuted that she had such a big idea this time, how could she not be angry?If Chu Xia was in Dr. Zheng's position, she would understand. She remained silent and waited for Dr. Zheng to calm down.

In late June, the college entrance examination results came out and I hung up the phone to check my scores.Chu Xia rode her bicycle and went straight to the hospital. When she told Dr. Zheng her results, the aunts in the same office all praised her for doing well in the exam.Doctor Zheng was the only one who didn't say anything. It was difficult for him to have an attack in the unit.When she got home, she started to criticize her if she heard that her medical school would be completed this year.

Chu Xia was not anxious or annoyed, and pulled Dr. Zheng to sit down on the sofa.She pressed her mother's shoulder affectionately and said, "Mom, you see that you and my uncle are both studying Chinese medicine. Right?"

"what happened?"

"My score seems to be enough to get into a medical school, but I can only study Western medicine, which is still a hundred points away from a university of traditional Chinese medicine. What I mean is that I can only go to a medical university, and forget about Western medicine. What about the hospital? You are a very knowledgeable person. If you say that I don’t like it, I will see blood if I am annoyed. There are few Western doctors in outpatient clinics, many of them need front-line surgery and rescue, and they have to work three shifts. What do you mean? "

Doctor Zheng thought about it for a while, and his daughter... seemed to be reasonable.

Chu Xia saw that Dr. Zheng was a little shaken, and then said: "Mom, there is nothing wrong with being a teacher. Didn't you hear Aunt Wang across the table say that girls are good at culture, education and hygiene?"

"That being said, none of our family members know anyone."

"Mom, I'm so old, I won't be unemployed after graduating from college."

"That's right, I'm just worrying too much. Aren't I just thinking that your future will go smoothly?!"

"Mom, I know you are doing it for my own good." Chu Xia hugged her mother's neck and acted coquettishly.

"It's a good thing we can still have two big vacations, so let's do it! Let's talk about the future later." Dr. Zheng muttered a few words as if to comfort himself.

If a person had the ability to travel through time, I believe Doctor Zheng would never agree to his daughter becoming a teacher.Ten years from now, the most popular 996 on the Internet can also be transferred to the 6106 or 6107 of high school teachers. They arrive at school at 6:00 in the morning and go home at 10:00 in the evening. They tutor for 6 days a week, and sometimes for 7 days in the third year of high school.

There is no free lunch in this world.

When I arrived at the secretary's office, I knocked on the door. Chu Xia opened the door and saw a graduate student sitting at the table by the window and taking a nap with his back to the door.She looked to the right and saw that Teacher Niu was still working overtime. There were a lot of things going on as graduation approached recently.

"Teacher Niu, I'm here to collect the file."

"What is your name?"

"Early summer."

"Wait a minute." Teacher Niu called out: "Xiao Chu?!"

The napping girl suddenly stood up and rubbed her eyes: "Teacher Niu?"

"Go to the filing cabinet and check Chu Xia's files."

The graduate student went out. Teacher Niu seemed to remember something, raised his head and asked: "Which district are you from in early summer? Why did you get it so late? Others had already taken it away to report."

"I'm from Yuyang District."

"Hey? Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu!" Teacher Niu shouted loudly several times upon hearing this.

"What's the matter, Teacher Niu?" Xiao Chu poked his head from the door and asked.

"No need to look for it." After answering, Teacher Niu looked back at the confused Chu Xia and said, "All your Yuyang District files have been taken away by people sent by the District Education Committee. Don't you know?"

"Huh? I'm not sure. Did you take it away?"

"Yes, why don't you ask again when you report back to the Education Committee."

"Okay, thank you." Chu Xia was confused. After thanking her, she turned and left the office.
