Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 23 Checking the Dormitory

At noon, Zhou Jing went to the electronics mall and bought a laptop. He returned to school and started downloading "Soldier Assault". He went to check the student dormitories at one o'clock, starting with the boys' side.

The 16 boys in Class 412 and 413 of Senior High School were divided into two dormitories, and , one with sunny side and the other with back side. In order to arrange the dormitories fairly, the school provided each class with both sunny side and back side.

The environment of the dormitory on the sunny side is better, the light is brighter, and it is warmer than the dormitory on the back when it is cold. Clothes can dry faster when hung out to dry. Most importantly, the dormitory on the sunny side has a balcony, while the dormitory on the back does not.

Students are randomly assigned to sunny-side dormitories or back-facing dormitories.

"Welcome, Teacher Zhou."

"Teacher Zhou, please take a seat."

Zhou Jing first came to the sunny dormitory 413. The door of the dormitory was open. As soon as Zhou Jing entered, the students applauded to welcome him.

"Go call the people from 412 over so that we can visit each other."

In order to avoid repeating the same words, Zhou Jing asked the students from the two dormitories to gather together.

A boy immediately called 412.

"Hello, Teacher Zhou."

People from 412 came over and said hello.

"Hello everyone, are you used to living in this new environment?"

Zhou Jing spoke as he looked around, roughly checking the dormitory environment.

The beds were covered with the blue sheets and quilt covers issued by the school. Although the beds were not as smooth as tofu blocks, at least they were relatively tidy. The floor had been mopped, including the area under the lower bunk, which was also mopped clean.

"Habit."

"Has the dormitory leader chosen?"

Zhou Jing looked at the duty roster posted on the door and asked.

"I am the head of dormitory 413."

"I'm from 412."

"Yeah." Zhou Jing nodded and said, "A good living environment is very important for maintaining a good mental outlook. People will inevitably become lazy and listless in a sloppy environment, so everyone must maintain a good living environment. The daily duty students are responsible. Cleaning the dormitory does not take much time, only one day a week."

The students nodded.

Zhou Jing didn't say too much.

Students have their own habits and ways of getting along. For example, some like to throw away garbage, some are too lazy to get hot water, some get up early, some get up late, and some like to chat after turning off the lights at night.
These personal habits cannot be changed no matter how hard the teacher tries.

Collective life depends on the members of the collective knowing, understanding, tolerating and respecting each other.

Choose effective ways to get along with each other after understanding each other.

Personal habits are more difficult for outsiders to change, and they need to adapt to and integrate into the environment on their own.

People with personality and temper will have their edges smoothed out by the environment.

After checking the hygiene of dormitory 412, Zhou Jing left the boys' dormitory and met Yang Wenwen who had just finished checking the girls' dormitory downstairs.

"Teacher, is there anything I should be aware of when checking the dormitories of students of the opposite sex?"

Zhou Jing stopped to ask Yang Wenwen for advice.

"It's nothing. Girls are more sensitive about their privacy. Just avoid it as much as possible when you go to the girls' dormitory."

Yang Wenwen said after a moment of thought.

"it is good."

Zhou Jing probably understood.

The opposite sex needs to have their identity checked to enter the girls' dormitory, so Zhou Jing took the initiative to show his work badge to the building manager.

After confirming his identity, the building manager returned the work badge to Zhou Jing.

There were a total of 409 girls from Class 410 living in the dormitory. In addition to the 16 people in dorms 415 and , the remaining two people stayed in Yang Wenwen's Class dormitory .
"Hello, Teacher Zhou."

Zhou Jing first came to 409, and the girls stood beside their beds.

Most of them were dressed very simply, and none of them wore any makeup, except for a few who were pretty and looked good even in plain clothes. The others, to use a phrase that boys often used to say in school, were dinosaurs.

As a teacher now, Zhou Jing will definitely not be so superficial as to pay attention to the appearance of his students. He treats them equally regardless of their beauty or ugliness.

In 09, there seemed to be more beautiful girls in junior high schools than in high schools. That's because junior high school students were more rebellious and even advocated non-mainstream behavior. They liked to dress up and pursue beauty, and wear strange clothes to show their individuality. These students would eventually pay the price for their youth and ignorance. It would be difficult for them to get into a first- or second-rate high school, let alone a third-rate high school. The result can be imagined.

Those who were able to get into the Experimental Middle School were all down-to-earth students in junior high school, and there was basically no Shamatte or weird clothing. "Everyone, don't be restrained. I'll just take a look. Who can go and call over the 410s, and the two 415s."

Girls are more reassuring, so Zhou Jing just took a quick look at the dormitory and balcony.

"I go."

The two of them immediately went to the two dormitories to call people.

Feng Yuhua was in dormitory 409. The girl stood obediently beside her bed. Zhou Jing did not pay much attention to her in group situations.

Zhou Jing tried not to stay in the girls' dormitory for too long. He exchanged a few words with everyone after they arrived and then left. After all, there are differences between men and women, and young male teachers should keep a good distance from female students, especially a handsome male teacher like Zhou Jing.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the whole class gathered in the classroom on time.

Zhou Jing took them to the activity building to receive books and military training uniforms. Twenty classes lined up in four groups, with Class 1 and 2 in the first group.

When they arrived at the activity building, Zhou Jing arranged five students to go to the activity room to get the books of each subject in the class as required, and two people went to get the military training uniforms, which they distributed to each student outside.

The military training uniforms were packed in advance according to classes. They were green camouflage uniforms consisting of only a jacket, trousers and a hat.

"Teacher Zhou, can we send out the military training uniforms directly?"

The leader of the military training uniform came out and said.

"Send it out. The sizes should be marked on it. Send it out according to this list. Military training uniforms are relatively wide, so we can't guarantee that they will fit everyone. Everyone should try the clothes on after getting them. If the sizes are similar, then they are fine. If there are big differences or damages, please register them and go to the warehouse to exchange them. You can also exchange them with other people."

Zhou Jing gave the list of military training uniform sizes to the students who were receiving the uniforms.

"Try it on right here?"

The girl who got the clothes felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm not asking you to take off your clothes and change, just put them on and it will be fine."

Boys are more straightforward and start putting on clothes right away.

"All right!"

The girls began to try them on shyly.

"How about mine?"

Zhang Xiang quickly put on his clothes and saluted to his roommate.

"Like the translator in Little Soldier Zhang Ga."

"How can they be like them? They are obviously puppet soldiers."

"You are a devil. I salute the Taijun."

"Get lost, you little bastard."

Boys are always happier in such occasions. In just two days, boys who had never met before have become very familiar with each other.

"It's so big!"

"Yes, as long as the trouser legs are not too long. If they are too tight, they can't be opened during military training."

A thin girl puts on her clothes and looks left and right.

"Where is Teacher Zhou from?"

A boy named Ji Xinxin came over and asked.

"Qingxian, where are you?"

"Zichuan County."

"I heard a story in your Zichuan County. It said that a man hit and killed a chicken on the road in Zichuan. The owner of the car refused to pay compensation, so the chicken owner demanded compensation for the chicken, and it had to be exactly the same as the one that was hit and killed. He also sued the car owner in court. Is this true?"

The boy named Wan Rushan spoke with an accent from the urban area of ​​Yushi City.

"Rumors, pure rumors, how could such a thing happen?"

Huang Liyun, a girl from Zichuan County, couldn't stand it anymore.

Zhou Jing listened to the students' noise and laughed without saying anything. The folk customs in some areas are indeed very fierce, such as Zichuan County. No one knows what the people of Zichuan County have done, but their reputation is very bad. It is said that in the past, people from Zichuan County tried to rent houses in Yulin City and other counties, but the landlords would not rent to them, and the hotel owners would not let them stay.

After receiving the books and military training uniforms, Zhou Jing asked the students to return to the classroom to gather, as there were some things he needed to explain before the military training.
