Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 16 Second brother-in-law?
"How does it feel to be a teacher, Xiao Zhou?"

In the lounge, a fat teacher looked at Zhou Jing and smiled.

"Good."

If it's just a job, Zhou Jing likes the teaching profession very much. Being a high school teacher is a piece of cake for him.

"It doesn't seem like I've just started teaching. I teach very well."

The English teacher who was teaching Class 3-5 just now watched Zhou Jing giving a lecture in the corridor while the students were discussing.

When the bell rang for class, Zhou Jing went to the classroom early and waited in the corridor for the students to return to the classroom.

"Hello, Teacher Zhou. My name is Liu Zhigang. I am from Qing County. I went to Qingshan Middle School for junior high school. Teacher Zhou from Qingshan Middle School taught mathematics to our class in the first grade of junior high school."

A student named Liu Zhigang came over to say hello.

"I'm Bai Panpan, and I also graduated from Qingshan Middle School. My math teacher in the second and third year of junior high school was Mr. Zhou."

Another fellow villager, Bai Panpan, also came to say hello.

"Oh, how's the speed I'm speaking, can you keep up?"

Zhou Jing was not surprised. There were quite a few students from Qing County studying at the Experimental Middle School, and his father taught the rocket class for junior high school. There were at least a dozen students in each class who could get into the Experimental Middle School.

“I can keep up.”

The two fellow villagers nodded in response.

"Study hard, and you can come to me if you have any problems in your studies or life in the future."

As a fellow villager and senior, Zhou Jing showed at least some concern.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhou."

"How old is Teacher Xiao Zhou?"

A tall and thin girl who looked lively asked curiously.

"Not much older than you, 21."

Zhou Jing answered truthfully.

"He's so young, so talented, and so handsome, he must have a girlfriend, right?"

"Qu Siyu, are you also obsessed with love?"

"Go away, you have a dirty mind."

Looking at the students playing and fighting, Zhou Jing seemed to see the shadow of his own youth.

It’s really good to be young and carefree.

The class continued. Zhou Jing walked around the classroom corridor while talking and found that many students took note of the mind map he drew on the blackboard in their notebooks. He pretended not to see any of the lazy students. Even if the parents of the students who had given up on themselves at this critical juncture came to watch them, it would be of no use. As long as they did not disturb other students, it would be fine.

No matter how good a class is, there will always be a few poor students. No matter how bad a class is, there will always be people who work hard.

Before he knew it, the second class was over. After two classes, Zhou Jing didn't even touch his book.

The students were amazed to find out that teachers could teach in this way.

"Don't forget to leave your workbooks and the first round of review materials. Everyone should do them in advance. Go over the review questions during evening self-study. The class representative will collect the homework on the 22nd."

Zhou Jing, who was a substitute teacher, didn't want to take the class too seriously. He just taught what he needed to teach in class. However, as a teacher, he had a sense of responsibility when standing on the podium. It would be really misleading to treat so many students perfunctorily.

So Zhou Jing just goes about his business as usual.

There were no classes for the third and fourth periods, so Zhou Jing went to the office to get his backpack and returned to the dormitory to write his novel.

Not long after class, his mother called again. Zhou Jing knew what his mother was thinking without having to guess. A mother worries about her son even when he is away from home. His mother was most nervous when Zhou Jing was at work, fearing that things would not go well for him.

"Hey, Mom, work is going well."

Without waiting for his mother to ask, Zhou Jing reported directly.

"That's great. Your father and I will go to Yu City on Saturday."

"Okay, pay attention to safety on the road."

"I know. Tell your dad about it!"

Wu Suqin gave the phone to Zhou Guozhong.

"Jing, your level is fine. The main thing is to adapt to the rules and regulations of the workplace."

Zhou Guozhong took the phone and said.

"Uh, I know."

My dad is indeed a teacher, he always gets to the point when he speaks.

In the afternoon, Liu Hanyu brought his younger brother Liu Ze to visit the Experimental Middle School. Liu Hanyu was very curious about how Zhou Jing taught students. The security guard at the gate would not let her in. Liu Hanyu said she came to visit the teacher. The security guard asked which teacher. Liu Hanyu said Zhou Jing's name. The security guard found Zhou Jing's phone number on the faculty and staff list and called to confirm before letting her in.

After entering the campus, Liu Hanyu went to Zhou Jing's dormitory first.

"Second sister, can I call Teacher Zhou my second brother-in-law?"

Liu Ze was very curious. His second sister was so close to Zhou Jing that she even knew where the school dormitory was.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not that kind of relationship."

Liu Hanyu has not considered this issue for the time being, but having said that, Zhou Jing is indeed an ideal candidate.

Zhou Jing cleaned up his room in advance. There was no refrigerator in the dormitory. Fruits would spoil easily in hot weather. Zhou Jing did not install the school's water dispenser. One person did not need a large bucket of water, so he only bought some mineral water. "How was class, Zhou Jing?"

Liu Hanyu came to Zhou Jing's dormitory and asked.

"Feel good about yourself, give."

Zhou Jing took two bottles of water to Liu Hanyu and her brother.

"Is the class at 2pm or 2:30pm?"

Liu Hanyu took the water but didn't open it, but put it on the table.

Zhou Jing said: "Two-thirty, have you been to Yushi College to study recently?"

"I went there. It's very convenient to read in the college study room. This way I don't have to go back to school when the semester starts." Liu Hanyu sat on a chair and flipped through the required textbook on the table and asked, "Did you make the notes?"

"Yes, where did you tell your brother?"

Liu Hanyu was embarrassed. "Power function. I was just average at math in high school, and I've almost forgotten it in three years of college. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake when explaining it to my brother."

"I wore glasses just to watch you lecture."

Liu Hanyu took out a pair of glasses from her bag and said.

"If you are so studious, you should go back to school. 21 is not too old to be a senior in high school. There are more than one 20-year-old in the class."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

"It's embarrassing enough that I'm only one year younger than your teacher at the age of 20. There were also 20-year-olds in my senior year class."

Liu Hanyu felt embarrassed for the high school student who was one year younger than his teacher.

Zhou Jing stayed in the dormitory until 2:10, then went to the office, while Liu Hanyu and his brother wandered around the campus.

Perhaps after hearing the five-star praise for Zhou Jing from the students of Class 6 of Grade 3, the students of Class 5 of Grade 3 had a much more positive attitude. No unpleasant incidents occurred due to Zhou Jing's lack of experience. As soon as Zhou Jing entered the classroom, he was warmly welcomed by the whole class, which made Class 6 next door very ashamed.

"My last name is Zhou, you can call me Teacher Zhou. Your class teacher should have explained the details. I will be teaching math for you during the make-up class. I hope to have a pleasant time with you all."

Zhou Jing took a piece of chalk and wrote his name in the upper left corner of the blackboard while introducing himself. His strokes were neat and his handwriting was correct. It was a very standard regular script, giving people the feeling that his handwriting reflected his personality.

clap clap clap!
As soon as Zhou Jing finished speaking, enthusiastic applause rang out in the classroom again.

He quieted down and started teaching, which was basically just repeating what he had taught to Class 6 in the morning. This was common practice for Zhou Jing, who had worked as a teaching assistant for ten years in his previous life.

"Now that we know the basic meanings of sets and elements, let's review the relationship between sets."

"The relationship between sets is where many people tend to get confused. In class, try not to be busy flipping through the textbooks. Follow my thoughts and review them in your mind. This will help you better remember them. I will talk about what is in the textbook, and I will supplement what is not in the textbook. I will also emphasize the key points, difficult points, and easy-to-make mistakes."

"So you just need to do two things: first, review it in your mind, and second, take notes in time."

"Write down the things you are not clear about and review them. You must focus on the key points when reviewing. This way you can avoid a lot of wasted time. Do you understand?"

Zhou Jing held a piece of chalk in his hand, sometimes writing on the blackboard, sometimes asking questions, and sometimes walking in the corridor.

"clear."

The students closed their books one after another, and the students sitting by the window looked outside one by one.

I saw Liu Hanyu and his brother Liu Ze looking inside in the corridor.

"You all like looking at beautiful women?"

Zhou Jing paused, glanced outside and said.

"I don't like it. I like watching Teacher Xiao Zhou."

"What's so good about beautiful women? I like reading books. There are beautiful women in books."

"Li Bo, you're pretending again. You're the one who's watching the most attentively. My saliva is dripping out."

"Teacher Xiao Zhou doesn't like beautiful women?"

"."

Everyone in the classroom was talking at the same time, and Liu Hanyu felt embarrassed, so she hid in the blind spot to listen to Zhou Jing's lecture.

"There are many beautiful girls and handsome boys in college. If you do well in the exam, you will have priority in choosing a spouse. Now listen to the class." Zhou Jing smiled and interrupted the students to continue the lecture. "So what are the basic relationships between sets?"

"Subset, proper subset, empty set"

The students answered very actively. While asking questions, Zhou Jing improved the mind map on the blackboard and used graphics to represent the set relationship, still drawing circles by hand. The students who watched were full of admiration.

“What is the difference between a subset and a proper subset?”

"Proper subsets exclude A=B."

"So if a set has n elements, how many subsets and proper subsets does it have?"

"2 to the power of n, 2 to the power of n minus 1."

"."

"It's much better than what you said, second sister."

Liu Ze, who was still listening in the corridor, said in a low voice.

“Math has never been my strong point.”

Liu Hanyu kicked her brother and walked downstairs.
