Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 114: Students who are absent from class

After morning exercises on Wednesday, the school broadcast notified all class teachers to go to the conference room for a meeting immediately.

"What kind of meeting is this early in the morning?"

"The leaders have nothing to do all day long except holding meetings."

“Holding meetings is the job of leadership”

Upon hearing the notice, the uninformed class teachers made some speculations and some even complained, asking if they couldn't wait for people to have breakfast before holding the meeting so early in the morning.

"It may be related to XX Island."

"It should be. I heard that a Toyota was overturned on Second Street last night."

"It's not so bad here. The Tang capital has been quite chaotic these days, with even a parade."

The teachers who followed the news probably guessed it.

The school probably asked the class teachers to discipline the students.

Zhou Jing was deeply impressed by this incident. During this period in his previous life, he was in Tangdu and witnessed the scene of vehicles being smashed.

Whenever this happens, Japanese car owners tremble in fear and put slogans on their cars saying "The car is XX's car, but the heart is the heart of the motherland". Some even put small red flags on their cars to show their stance.

"Did you watch the news?"

Yang Wenwen walked with Zhou Jing.

"I didn't watch the news. My college classmates sent me photos and my cousin said that No. 10 Middle School was closed."

"No. 10 Middle School is close to Second Street. If we don't close the school, some students might go out to the street to join in the fun. I guess we have to close it as well."

Yang Wenwen also heard about it.

As expected, the class teacher who was summoned emphasized this matter. The school does not allow its students to be involved. Starting today, the boarding students will be "confined" and are not allowed to leave the school. The class teachers are asked to manage the students in their class well.

After the meeting, Zhou Jing went to have breakfast. On the way, he met Gu Jia who had just finished breakfast and asked her what was going on.

"Keep the students under control and don't let them cause trouble. Classes will continue as usual on Saturday and Sunday."

Zhou Jing smiled bitterly.

"The weekend is ruined again."

Gu Jia guessed what was going on. She thought that she must be very tired from working for at least half a month straight.

"We may not have weekends for three weeks in a row. The school is closed this week, and next weekend is until the end of the month. We may have monthly exams."

Zhou Jing told her even worse news: the next weekend break might be on November 7th or 8th.

"Okay! Are you busy tomorrow at noon?"

After working for more than twenty days in a row, Gu Jia felt physically and mentally exhausted.

"What's the matter, Master?"

Zhou Jing felt that it was no big deal. If he had nothing special to do, working for two or three months would not be a difficult thing to endure. He didn't need to accompany his girlfriend, he had internet access, and there was no difference between having a weekend and every weekend.

"My mother has rented a house for me, near Renmin Road. If you are not busy, please help me clean the room."

Gu's mother was 100% serious about her daughter's affairs. Gu Jia mentioned the matter of renting a house on Monday, and Gu's mother found a house on Tuesday, paid half a year's rent, and also paid the heating fee.

Gu Jia went to see the house after school on Tuesday at noon. The house is quite big, about 100 square meters, with three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. It is ready for move-in. It is on the third floor of a seven-story building. The location of the community and the orientation of the house are both good.

Gu Jia couldn't bear to trouble her mother to clean up such a big house, so she decided to take her apprentice to clean it when she had time.

"No problem, Master's business is the most important."

Zhou Jing agreed without thinking.

"After this period of time is over, I will treat you to a meal."

Gu Jia no longer delayed the boy's breakfast time.

After breakfast, when class was about to start, Zhou Jing went to the classroom to convey the spirit of the meeting to the students.

"I think everyone has heard about what happened outside these two days, right?"

"I heard that a classmate of mine in junior high school had a Prado but he didn't dare to drive it out."

"Teacher Zhou, can we go to the street?"

"Don't think about these useless things. The best way for you to show your patriotism is to study hard and not hang out on the streets. Boarding students should not leave the school these days, and day students should go home after school and not stay outside."

Zhou Jing was also angry when he was the same age as them, but he gradually realized that anger was useless and that a strong fist was the kingly way. Even if the day of war really comes, the best way for ordinary people to be patriotic is to eat, sleep, and go to work.

"Does this mean that the dormitory students will be put in solitary confinement? When can they go out?" "I don't know. The school has tentatively scheduled classes on Saturday and Sunday as usual. Saturday will be used as Monday's class, and Sunday will be used as Tuesday's class. We will notify you separately when the lockdown is lifted."

"Isn't this an exaggeration?"

The students all looked sad.

"Your safety is not a trivial matter. Don't think about it. The important thing is to study hard."

The students and teachers are tired of the school closure, but there is nothing we can do.

[Tangdu has been in chaos these days, especially near the bell tower. How are you guys doing?]

Chen Jiaqian sent a message to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing: [School will continue to operate as usual on weekends, please be careful]

Chen Jiaqian: [Yeah, it seems the situation is pretty serious over there too. This is the first time I’ve seen such a situation. I was hoping to find time to visit you on the weekend.]

Zhou Jing: [I’ll find you after this is over]

If he has to find someone alone, Zhou Jing would rather go there by himself.

Chen Jiaqian set out for Yulin on Friday night and arrived on Saturday morning. She had to go to work on Monday, and had to rush back to Tangdu by Sunday night at the latest. It was too tiring for a girl to go through all this.

Chen Jiaqian: [Hmm]

In the third period of the morning, the first and second grades had a computer class. After class, Zhou Jing came down from the dormitory to the office. When he passed by the classroom, he heard someone talking inside. Zhou Jing opened the door and saw that it was Yang Heng and Li Chengcheng who did not go to class.

Seeing the head teacher, the two of them lowered their heads and read books silently.

"Everyone else is going to the computer room, why don't you two go?"

Although it was a computer class, Zhou Jing couldn't just ignore the students if they skipped class.

"That class is useless."

Li Chengcheng said hesitantly.

"How can it be useless? Come to the office."

Zhou Jing turned around and left first. It was necessary to use these two students as examples to scare others. Last weekend, three or four students from Class 1 and 2 of Senior High School were seen outside an Internet cafe, including Yang Heng.

Yang Heng and Li Chengcheng looked at each other and were not too nervous, thinking that computer class was no big deal.

When they arrived at the office, they saw two students following Zhou Jing. The teachers all looked over, curious about what mistake they had made.

"Can I skip computer class?"

Zhou Jing sat on the chair and turned to the two students.

“The smell in the computer room is so bad that it makes one feel dizzy.”

“I didn’t learn anything useful from that class.”

"Silly boy, computer classes are very important. Computer science is a very good major in college. After graduation, all jobs will be dependent on computers. We can't do our jobs if we don't know computers now."

Yang Heng and Li Chengcheng had just opened their mouths when they were interrupted by Zhao Xin on the other side.

"Let's not talk about whether computer class is important or not. Missing computer class is the same as missing other classes. If you are notified by the school, the consequences will be the same. If you find the school computer class boring, you will definitely not feel bored if you go to an Internet cafe. No matter which teacher you are, attending class on time is the minimum respect for the teacher."

Zhou Jing said with a very serious look.

"Teacher Zhou, we were wrong."

"You shouldn't have skipped class."

Seeing that the head teacher didn't seem to be joking, the two of them bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes.

“Doesn’t the computer teacher take roll call?”

“Sometimes I order it, sometimes I don’t.”

"How many times have you skipped class?"

Zhou Jing looked at Yang Heng and asked.

"the first time."

"What about you?"

Zhou Jing then looked at another person.

"Second. First time."
