tenth year of teaching

Chapter 39 Friendship
In April, the weather is getting warmer.

On a particularly sunny afternoon, the playground was full of people, including those playing ball, running, sitting in groups chatting, and walking arm in arm.Lilacs and magnolias are in bud on campus. Girls gather under the lilac trees, wrapped in fragrance and looking for five-petal flowers. It is said that they will bring good luck and everything will go smoothly, especially in marriage.

The leaders of the school and the district education committee worked hard for these talents introduced from the Northeast, and organized two large-scale blind date activities in a row in the spring season.Chu Xia was not on the invitation list, so she was very curious why the girls suddenly became so charming, even Liao Ping was not so irritable, and suddenly started to put on makeup.

Liao Ping was indeed in a good mood. The social activities organized by the Education Committee were very thoughtful and invited single men and women from major enterprises and institutions in Yuyang District, as well as many civil servants working in government departments.The girls are very satisfied with this. Who doesn’t want to find someone more reliable and with better family conditions when they leave their hometown?She is no longer a little girl. The purpose of falling in love is to get married, and the purpose of getting married is to rely on a big tree.

The gathering place was located in a large activity room of a public institution, arranged like a dance hall, with slightly dim lights and some ambiguous music playing.The host gave a brief introduction to each other at the beginning, invited two people to come to the stage to sing two songs to warm up the audience, and then directly served fruit drinks for free activities.The formulaic process was eliminated, and they were all young people, and they gradually started to have fun.

Li Zijun graduated from BJ Agricultural College the year before last and returned to Yuyang District to work in the Food and Drug Administration.He was the only son in the family, and his parents were worried that he would go out and try his luck, so they dragged him back from the city alive.His job was fine, but he couldn't forget his girlfriend he had in college. She was from the south and returned to Shanghai after graduation.For more than two years, the old couple did not go on a single blind date arranged as a silent protest against their parents.

The friendship was also dragged by colleagues, and it turned out that the small and exquisite Liao Ping was discovered.Li Zijun vaguely saw the shadow of his ex-girlfriend from her, and he identified this girl in his heart, and began to chase after her.A phone call a day, a bouquet of roses a week, plus countless text messages, made Liao Ping happy.

Liao Ping is very satisfied with Li Zijun, regardless of his family and work, he is impeccable.But she knew well that she couldn't be too rash with men. She basically made two phone calls and answered once, sent three text messages in response to one, and declined invitations every five times on weekends. The frequency gradually increased.Li Zijun completely fell for this girl who was sometimes enthusiastic, sometimes cold, sometimes gentle, and sometimes lively.The old couple of the Li family were even more anxious, and asked their superiors to call the principal and ask for help.

Principal Zhang answered the phone and burst into laughter, "Lao Su, we can't just meddle in this kid's virginity. It would be bad if we become rebellious. Just let nature take its course!"

The No. [-] Attached Middle School is full of love affairs, and the guards will be surprised if they don't receive a bouquet of flowers from a young man every day.The students looked at the young teachers with a bright face every day in class, the teachers were in a good mood, and naturally began to tolerate some small mistakes of the students, and everyone felt that life was getting better.

Chu Xia also started to feel more relaxed. The Northeast teachers who were cold to her suddenly no longer treated her coldly, and would sometimes smile and ask her about some Yuyang local habits.Chu Xia was flattered and told her everything without hesitation. As they gradually got in touch, everyone discovered that Chu Xia was not as reclusive as the rumors said.Once or twice, they became familiar with each other and the relationship eased.

Liao Ping curled her lips. Because she was in a good mood and had a rich husband, she naturally didn't have the energy to bother with such trivial matters anymore.As her relationship with An Lei gradually stabilized, Guan Min gradually lost her guard against Chu Xia. She watched with cold eyes as Chu Xia never deliberately appeared in front of An Lei after she moved into the teaching building to work, and gradually let go. Heartbroken.

For An Lei, it wasn't that Chu Xia didn't care, it was just that the deal was already done and any more words or actions would be wrong.Sometimes after self-study, when I return to the office building in a quiet night, I will unconsciously look up at the window on the third floor.On occasional days when the lights are on, Chu Xia will stop and watch quietly for a while, what is the person in that window doing?Are you working overtime again?
No one would answer her. Chu Xia would quickly look away when people passed by and leave in a hurry.She doesn't know what her feelings are for An Lei?Even if I want to avoid it, I still can't stop thinking about it.

Perhaps due to the weather, Zhang Yan gradually became less gloomy, and Sun Xiaolei and Li Hai both breathed a sigh of relief.After his friend's concern and the teacher's deliberate "ignorance", he finally breathed a sigh of relief.His parents no longer argued, and would occasionally take him to have dinner and chat casually. His father found another job outside, rented a place to live, and kept a distance from them.Although my mother is still wary, things are developing for the better.

Nothing can compare to inner peace, and it feels really good to be grounded.Zhang Yan began to lazily enjoy the peace again, but Chu Xia, the head teacher, changed his attitude at this time.The class rules were re-revised, communication with teachers was strengthened, and mobilization work for the mid-term exam began.The students gradually became nervous, and the tutoring time started again at noon every day.

"You must write down the chemical equation of the alkali metal and iron parts that you have summarized this week. Write it down first, and I will explain the process to you if you don't know how."

"You must write down at least one word every day this week. I will go to the English teacher to check your vocabulary test scores."

"You must read the chapters required by the Dream of Red Mansions teacher this week and write the corresponding analysis. I will go to the Chinese teacher to consult on your performance in class."

"You can't lie down on the table in class this week." Chu Xia knocked on the table for emphasis. "The standard is that you can't lie on the table, not that you can't sleep. Remember that your chin is more than ten centimeters away from the table." As she said this, she also used her fists Stacked to represent distance.

……

Zhang Yan felt desperate amidst the endless nagging. Why couldn't the world let him have some peace and quiet?Just as things calmed down at home, school came next.Although he was helpless, Zhang Yan did not resist. He slowly began to move forward little by little amid Chu Xia's pressing pressure.

The teachers in Class 12 were surprised to find that Zhang Yan had started to study, and his comprehension was far beyond their imagination.Every teacher thought that he touched this bastard, so he began to take extra care of him.The praise came one after another like a competition, Zhang Yan's self-confidence slowly awakened, and he suddenly felt as if he had returned to the state before the second year of junior high school.

No, it seems better!When you hit bottom, the feeling of bouncing back is wonderful.He enjoyed the attention and was even more grateful for the early summer.He thought: "Only Teacher Chu understands me best."

Chu Xia finally felt relieved about Zhang Yan. This boy has been violating disciplines since he first entered school, and now he can finally sit down and study steadily. Although he has put in a lot of thought, there is still a change.

Recently, I finally received a message from my younger brother, saying that he had been admitted to the university he had long desired.My aunt's job there is also very stable, and the conditions are gradually getting better. I have lost one job, and I have enough time to study.It’s fun to go camping with friends you can talk to regularly.Finally, he added: "Sister, please find a boyfriend quickly, otherwise you will be too old and no one will want you."

Chu Xia spat and cursed: "Heartless thing." But her heart blossomed and everything was getting better.
