12. lectures
When I called for class, an adult stood up from behind. When I looked closely, it was Team Leader Chen Hongwen. Oh no, I was chosen for the random lecture. I panicked for about a minute before I quickly calmed down. I glanced at the students as I spoke. I tried not to look at Team Leader Chen.
"In the Tang Dynasty, there was a famous poet named Gu Kuang. Every day, many young people would bring poems and ask him to recommend them. This way, it would be easier for them to get into the imperial examination and become officials." Chang 'an's rice is so expensive. It's not easy to settle down without any real ability.'He threw Bai Juyi's poetry collection to the side. A gust of wind blew past, revealing two lines of poetry.'The wildfire will not burn, but the spring wind will blow again.'Gu Kuang picked up Bai Juyi's poetry collection and read it again. As he read, he said,"'This kid is not bad! Not bad! It seemed that no matter how expensive the rice in Chang 'an was, he could still stay there…Invite this kid in.'Bai Juyi was recommended by Gu Kuang and was famous throughout the capital. Back then, Bai Juyi was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Alright, today we will be studying Bai Juyi's "Charcoal Merchant."”
I used this story that I saw when I was studying in a teacher's college. I was actually feeling uneasy and didn't know how to tell it. Fortunately, Teacher Zhou Huaxiu and I have discussed how to explain it, so we will still follow the steps and start from the topic.
"Charcoal is used to warm the fire in winter. Who can tell everyone what 'Weng' means?”
Zheng Debin did not raise his hand. He stood up and said,"It's what the old man wants."
I motioned for Zheng Debin to sit down and said,
"Your explanation is very correct. This topic is about an old man who went to the street to sell charcoal. Let's see what happened to him.”
I wasn't sure if this would work. After all, I had only started teaching for less than two months. I still had to remove the reading malfunction first. I would read the new words, then read them together, then analyze them sentence by sentence, and finally summarize the main idea. I gave the students a question:
"Why did Bai Juyi write 'The Charcoal Merchant?”
The students chattered. Some said," The charcoal seller is Bai Juyi's relative." Some said," Bai Juyi went out to buy charcoal and met the charcoal seller." Some said," The charcoal seller is very pitiful." Some said," It's not easy for the charcoal seller to burn charcoal and sell it for money." Some said," The local ruffians and hooligans forced the charcoal seller to sell charcoal at a low price." There were all kinds of strange things. I didn't say much. I only said that Bai Juyi's poem sympathized with the working people.
After class, I realized that according to the design, there should be practice in class. However, I forgot it when I heard the student's speech in the end. In that case, this class was incomplete and I would be criticized.
I sat in front of my desk in fear. I couldn't see the students 'mistakes in the homework. I changed to preparing for lessons. As I wrote, I thought about the classroom. I didn't know how big the problem was in the classroom.
Team Leader Chen came in. Teacher Zhou had gone to class. He sat in Teacher Zhou's seat, facing me. He opened the red notebook and flipped through it while saying,
"Little Zhang, let's talk. Your class was not bad overall. New words, poem analysis, poetic summary, and especially the discussion at the end, the students participated. Also, reading in groups was a creation. I have two questions. Normally, we have to practice in class. You didn't practice in this class.”
Finally, it was time to talk about my important problem. I looked at Team Leader Chen. He had a very friendly expression and a very friendly gaze. I was no longer afraid.
"I prepared some practice for class, but class will end after the discussion, so I can't drag the class.”
Team Leader Chen closed his laptop and said,"
"This is the homework that the teacher has to do. How to control the time in the classroom, how to control the atmosphere, what content and how much time to complete, you have to know. One more important question: I haven't heard you introduce the author throughout the class.”
I relaxed.
"I started off by telling a story about Bai Juyi. That was the author's introduction.”
I heard Team Leader Chen say "oh" softly. He walked over and patted my shoulder.
"You must be strict with yourself and learn from your old teachers. I have to improve next time I listen to your class!”
Looking at Team Leader Chen's back view, her heart felt warm. There was no expected severe criticism. The word "exchange" was used in the conversation. The question was also a suggestion. Her tone was very soft, and there was an indescribable joy in her heart.
When I returned to the dormitory at noon, Wu Aiting came over and asked me,
"Zhang Su Ning, Team Leader Chen is attending your class? Did he criticize you? You're also attending my class."
I looked at her smiling face and knew that the leader didn't give many critical opinions.
"Zhang Su Ning, they're usually so mischievous and don't listen to you. They even talk in class. You even scream, but they still don't listen. But today, everyone raised their hands to speak. The difficult question that I prepared was answered one by one. Chengzu Hong came up to rehearse and actually solved it! If only every class was like this!”
Yes, the students were very cooperative today. Although they didn't completely follow the process of preparing their lessons, the students were very proactive in class. Li Zhuhong came in and handed me a letter.
"Li Zhuhong, you're really worth it! Zhang Su Ning and I were both chosen. Team Leader Chen didn't even attend your foreign language class. I get it, Team Leader Chen definitely doesn't know foreign languages!”
Wu Aiting lowered her voice and snatched the letter from my hand.
" Zhang Su Ning, not bad. She's from Jianli. It looks like a woman's handwriting. Yaowan Middle School…"
I was afraid that Wu Aiting would misunderstand, so I quickly explained,
"This is my classmate, a male classmate. We've been living in the bunk bed for a year. We often go to the Xinhua Bookstore to buy books and go out for walks together.”
It seemed that Wu Aiting believed it. She handed the letter to me. Seeing that she had returned to her dormitory, I opened the letter and read it.
" Zhang Su Ning: I've already written a few letters, but you didn't give me your home address. I don't know where to send them. When I got home the day before yesterday, I received your letter, but your letter only contained a few words. You didn't even mention how your school is. The letter was attached to the back. He Rongmei. October 13th, 1981.”
I flipped open the back of the letter. It was thick, so I chose the first one to read.
"Our school is called Yaowan Middle School. It's not far from my house, but I never knew there was such a school. Zhou Yonghong and I were assigned to this school. Zhou Yonghong went first, and I went later. When I walked into Yaowan, I was shocked by its simplicity. As soon as I entered Yaowan, I saw a street paved with bluestone slabs. The street was not wide, and there were no other streets. It was just a straight road. This reminded me of the song " Rain Lane." I was walking in the alley. There was really someone holding an oil-paper umbrella. Unfortunately, it was not a girl. I asked a passerby how to get to Yaowan Middle School, and he actually helped me carry my luggage and sent me all the way to the middle school. Zhou Yonghong helped me settle down and introduced me to the environment. I like the environment here very much. There is a lake to the east of the school. The water is very clear, and you can see the fish in it. The lake is covered with reeds, and from time to time, a group of wild birds will fly up…"
As I read He Rongmei's letter, I thought about my own letter. It was just a few dry words. How could that be considered a letter? He Rongmei's words were called a letter. So I flipped to the back and continued reading:
"You don't know, but the old teachers here are all very good. The principal asked me to prepare to teach Chinese. He told me to learn how to prepare lessons, how to organize students, how to give lectures, and how to mark homework. He arranged an old teacher to tutor me. This old gentleman is actually Lao Xiansheng. Teacher Lao taught me how to prepare lessons and let me listen to his lectures. This was very different from when we were studying at the teacher's college. At that time, we only talked about novels, poems, and essays. We had never seriously thought about how to teach. At the beginning of the lecture, Teacher Lao sat at the back and listened. I forgot all the words I had prepared and was incoherent. After class, Teacher Lao comforted me,'Xiao He, don't be discouraged. Everyone has a beginning. Everything is difficult at the beginning. At least you taught a lesson. There are many people who can't do what you did.'I know Teacher Lao is comforting me and encouraging me, but now I can teach independently. What about you? Are you the same as me?"
I put down the letter and thought about today's class. From beginning to end, it should be relatively complete. Thinking about my past, I had never spoken since I was young. I had never spoken in front of everyone. Now, the leader was checking my work and listening to the class. I was only flustered for two minutes, but I still completed the teaching task according to my expectations. Compared to myself, this should be a huge improvement.
With this thought in mind, I picked up the pen and wrote back to He Rongmei. I imitated him and wrote about our school and my colleagues.
I was writing a letter on that broken desk when Lu Chuanjie came in to inform us that there would be a meeting tonight.
Principal Zhan didn't wear a towel anymore. He heard that her mother had gone back and that her eldest brother's daughter was taking care of her child. The principal was still the same. He smiled at everyone and thanked them for their work. He said,
"Team Leader Chen came to our X-ray examination today. He listened to the lessons of Zhang Su Ning and Wu Ai Ting in the morning and was very satisfied." Both of you are new teachers. It's really not easy for you to teach like this.'He also checked our canteen and student dormitories. I also reported the problems in the school to him, especially the gangster gang that came to the school to cause trouble when I was on leave last time. I asked the higher-ups to allocate funds to repair the walls and student dormitories. I want to tell everyone a piece of good news. In the afternoon, Team Leader Chen and I will report to the management district leader. The management district leader has decided to repair the walls and student dormitories for us. This way, the teachers 'dormitories would be more spacious.”
When the teachers heard this, especially the older teachers, they started discussing. Principal Zhan opened his arms and made a pressing gesture, signaling for everyone to quiet down.
"Teachers, we have to be more proactive in our work. Only in this way can we live up to the concern our superiors have for our school. In the afternoon, Team Leader Chen also told me that there might be a relatively big move in the education reform in our district. It is possible that the junior high school of Dongfeng Primary School will be abolished, and the junior high school of Qingji Primary School will also be abolished. After the abolition, the students will come to our school. At that time, the number of students in each class will increase. We have to be prepared to welcome them now.”
Everyone started discussing again. Teacher Zhou said to me,
"Our class now has more than sixty people. My class has sixty-four people now. Your class has more, sixty-five people.”
Principal Zhan once again signaled for everyone to quiet down.
"I know that the teachers are worried that the classroom won't be able to accommodate so many students. They are worried that it will be difficult to manage too many students. I understand all of this, but this is a step in the district's reform. We can only carry it out. "Of course, I will report our difficulties to the higher-ups. For example, can we build another classroom, add another class to each grade, and transfer some teachers from other schools? I'm considering all these questions. Alright, since Qin Changsheng is getting married tomorrow, we won't be working tonight. Everyone, go and congratulate Teacher Qin.”
After the principal announced the end of the meeting, I walked over to see what everyone was doing around He Peigen. It turned out that they were paying the money, so I asked,
"Why are you paying?"
"Qin Changsheng is getting married, and we're going to fight.”
What was a "fighter"? It was only at this time that I realized that there was such a thing as gifting. Two yuan per person. Two yuan can buy two good books, maybe three. You have to know that a month's food is only five yuan. I was a little reluctant, but seeing that they had all paid, I had no choice but to fork out two yuan. I really don't understand. Didn't the principal not pay for the meal last time? With this question in mind, I waited until almost everyone had left before asking He Peigan,"
"Mr. He, did Principal Zhan pay for the meal when he gave birth last time?”
He Peigan didn't even raise his head as he continued to count the money.
"Of course."
I was shocked. I actually ate the principal's wine without paying. I walked out of the office and passed by the principal's door. A girl happened to come out of the principal's house and pulled my sleeve. She turned around and said to me,
"Brother Su Ning, don't you think it's funny? My aunt actually wants me to call her 'mommy'! It's not like I don't have a mother. Aunt is aunt, and mother is mother. Judge for me. How can you call aunt mother!”
I looked at her and felt strange. How did she know my name? She even called me "Brother Su Ning" very intimately, but I didn't seem to know her. Right, she should be here to help the principal take care of the child, so I asked,
"Are you the girl of the Zhan Qiao Brigade's Party Branch Secretary?”
She nodded.
"My mother-in-law still has something to do at home, so she can't take care of the child for my aunt. Coincidentally, I don't want to study anymore, so my aunt told my grandfather to give me to my aunt. So, I followed her. I don't want to follow her around all the time. I have to go back after I take care of her child for a few days. Brother Su Ning, don't you think it's funny? She forced me to call her mom.”
When I went back to the dormitory, I thought about it repeatedly. After the adoption, this should be the way to address him. The principal was right. But how did she know my name? And you seem to be able to hold your ground against me?
