Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 40 Three Group Photos at the Same Place
"The first place in this military training performance is won by the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment, the second place is won by the 5th Battalion of the 1st Regiment, the third place is won by the 8th Battalion of the 2nd Regiment, and the winner of this military training spiritual civilization award is the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment."

That is to say, the top three are Class 13 of Grade One, Class 5 of Grade One, and Class 18 of Grade One.

Class 1 and 2 of Senior High School won the spiritual civilization award.

The so-called spiritual civilization award is not a consolation prize for the fourth place, and has little to do with the performance in the performance, but rather the performance of the entire military training process, the performance of the boarding students watching TV dramas during evening self-study, the hygiene of the dormitory, etc.

In the performance, Class 1-2 ranked sixth.

Zhou Jing wasn't sure whether the fact that Class 1 and 2 of Senior High School won the Spiritual Civilization Award had anything to do with the fact that he was a newcomer.

Is it that the school deliberately encourages this newcomer?

In any case, the Spiritual Civilization Award is a great encouragement to the class. Its significance even exceeds that of winning second or third place in the performance. After all, it is a recognition of the performance during the week-long military training.

The winning class sends its class monitor to represent the class on the podium to receive the award, which is a sign that can be hung in the classroom.

The principal presented the awards in person.

"The winners of the title of civilized dormitory are Dormitory 412 in the Boys' Apartment Building No. 507 and Dormitory in the Girls' Apartment Building No. . Please invite the dormitory heads to come up on stage to accept the award on behalf of the dormitories."

The boys' dormitory 412 is for Class and of Senior High School.

Civilized dormitories are given mobile pennants, the triangular kind. Each grade has two mobile pennants, one for each of the male and female dormitories. The banners are given to outstanding dormitories at the flag-raising ceremony on Mondays based on weekly dormitory inspections.

After the award ceremony, the leader gave another speech, summarizing and looking forward to the future, and then announced the successful completion of the military training.

Zhou Jing's butt was numb from sitting for nearly three hours straight. He didn't drink much of the bottle of water on his seat because he was worried about having to pee urgently. In such occasions, he tried not to leave the venue midway if possible.

"This is more tiring than standing for two classes."

Yang Wenwen stood up with the help of the table and stretched her legs.

"Isn't it?"

Cao Long, the fat head teacher of Class 1, has a harder time.

On the right side of the rostrum, the young lady working at the radio station who was packing up the broadcasting equipment looked towards Zhou Jing from time to time. Zhou Jing noticed this before the meeting started, but he had always ignored her. The other party was quite pretty, but Zhou Jing, who had seen a lot of people, was no longer easily fooled by the appearance of girls, and it was even more impossible for him to want to pick up a pretty girl.

"Do you know the girl from the radio station?"

Yang Wenwen also noticed the girl, and she asked Zhou Jing jokingly.

Zhou Jing shook his head and said, "I don't know him."

"He is a relative of a leader."

Yang Wenwen continued.

"Personal issues should not be considered for the moment."

Zhou Jing understood Yang Wenwen's intentions. If Zhou Jing was determined, the relatives of the school leaders would be a good spouse candidate and worth serious consideration. A man can work less for many years if he chooses the right partner.

Seeing what the boy was thinking, Yang Wenwen didn't say anything else.

The instructor completed his task and left, and all classes stayed where they were and waited for the head teacher to speak.

"First of all, congratulations to everyone."

Zhou Jing came to the front of his class and said.

There was applause from the team, and when the applause ended Zhou Jing continued:

“The Spiritual Civilization Collective Award is the greatest affirmation of a class. What is spiritual civilization? Spiritual civilization is the performance of excellent mental outlook and behavior. Everyone has done very well during this period. I hope everyone will develop this state into a habit and continue it in future study and life.”

clap clap clap!
"it is good."

The team burst into warm applause again.

"Then the military training ends here. Let's take a group photo."

I have said a lot recently, so Zhou Jing will not say any more.

While other classes were taking photos, Zhou Jing first took a group photo for Yang Wenwen's class, and then asked a student from Class 3 to take a photo of himself and Yang Wenwen. The location was chosen right in front of the rostrum.

After the military training in the first year of high school, Zhou Jing and Yang Wenwen took a photo here.

I took photos here during my high school graduation.

Zhou Jing was deeply moved when he chose the same place to take a photo with Yang Wenwen for the third time. The first time he wore camouflage uniform, the second time he wore school uniform, and today he wore formal clothes.

The three different periods are all important growth processes for Zhou Jing.

Yang Wenwen also had deep feelings. From when she just graduated from college and started working, to when she successfully sent the first batch of students to graduation, and then to today when the first batch of students started working, the ignorant and innocent young people grew up and became successful people under her teaching and influence. For the first time, Yang Wenwen experienced the special pride of being a teacher.

When taking the photo, Zhou Jing raised his right arm and placed his hand above Yang Wenwen's right arm to make the most rustic and practical scissors hand gesture.

Yang Wenwen leaned her shoulder slightly towards Zhou Jing, with a bright smile on her pretty face. Because of her tilted shoulder, she, who is 172 cm tall, looked a little like a little bird next to Zhou Jing, who is 181 cm tall.

"Teacher Yang and Teacher Zhou, eggplant!"

The student taking the photo adjusted the focus and pressed the shutter.

"The teacher taking the photo with Teacher Yang is so handsome. Is he Teacher Yang's husband?"

"Don't say anything if you don't know. This is the first batch of students taught by Teacher Yang."

"I see. No wonder this teacher respects Teacher Yang so much."

"Mr. Zhou is the most handsome male head teacher, and the head teacher of Class 3 is the most beautiful."

"."

While the students in Class 3 of Grade 1 were discussing, the students in Class 2 of Grade 1 were also discussing.

After Zhou Jing and Yang Wenwen took a group photo, they returned to Class 2 to take a group photo.

Zhou Jing stood in the middle of the first row of girls, holding a "Spiritual Civilization Award" sign. The female students on both sides and the students behind him surrounded Zhou Jing and made hand gestures to grab the spotlight.

"Students at the back can move to the sides, and those at the front should try not to stand in the back."

With a click from Yang Wenwen, who was holding a camera in front, Zhou Jing and his students were frozen in that moment.

After taking the class photo, some students took photos with Zhou Jing, while some students took photos and played. The whole playground was filled with youthful energy.

"An Mengni, take a picture of me and Teacher Zhou."

The girl named Hui Lina shouted to An Mengni who was carrying a SLR camera.

When taking pictures, a boy hid behind Zhou Jing, stretched his hands above his shoulders to hold the phone and made a scissors gesture.

"Everyone is free to move around in the playground during the rest of the day. Please don't make loud noises around the teaching building. Classes will officially start in the afternoon. Please have lunch on time. If you are not taking a lunch break, please go to the classroom to read. Please don't make loud noises in the dormitory building and don't disturb your roommates' rest."

There were still a few minutes left before lunch break, so Zhou Jing went to the office.

"Teacher Zhou, do we need to develop the class photo?"

Squad leader Cao Xiaoxiao came over and said.

"Talk to me about it, and if you want them all, just wash them out."

It costs a few dollars to develop a photo, but in this Internet age, it doesn’t matter whether you spend the money or not.

Zhou Jing doesn't make decisions on such matters, just let the students make their own choices.

"Ok."

Cao Xiaoxiao nodded.

"I'll go back at noon to create a group and put all the photos in the group album first. Students who need them can find them themselves."

An Mengni, who brought a camera, said.

After returning to the office, Zhou Jing looked at the class schedules for Class 1 and Class 2 of Grade 1. On Monday, the math classes for Class 1 and Class 2 were all in the morning, which meant that Zhou Jing had no classes in the afternoon. The evening self-study class was math tutoring for Class 1 of Grade 1.

The get out of class was about to end, so Zhou Jing left the office two minutes early to go to the faculty cafeteria for lunch. After lunch, he returned to the dormitory to rest and opened his laptop to write a novel.

The QQ avatar in the lower right corner of the computer was flashing. It was a group invitation. An Mengni from our class created a group and invited Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing didn't want to join the student group, but he had to join since the students invited him. After agreeing, he clicked into the group album and took a look. He downloaded the class photos and the photos with Yang Wenwen in the album to the desktop. He compared them with the photos he took with Yang Wenwen after the military training in his freshman year of high school and the photos he took with Yang Wenwen when he graduated from his senior year of high school. He expressed his emotion and made a comment.

[Happy holidays to all teachers, and also to myself (grin)]

Accompanied by three photos of himself and Yang Wenwen.
