16. straighten one's mind
When he woke up in the morning, he had already recovered.
I don't know how others are like, but sometimes I feel very depressed and gloomy. I don't like what I see, I don't want to do anything, and I feel like I've been shot when I talk to people. At such times, I feel that life is so boring that I might as well die. He remembered that when he was studying in a teacher's college, he had caught a cold. The blood in his body seemed to be flowing poorly, and he felt uncomfortable all over. He was disappointed with his future and felt that he had wasted his parents 'hard-earned money. He ran to the roof and looked at his hometown in the distance. He felt a sense of despair and wanted to jump off the roof and end his meaningless life. But no matter what, I didn't jump down. This time, her mood was gloomy. It was only a day. At night, under the guidance of Li Zhuhong and Wu Aiting, she gradually became better. She even sang revolutionary songs.
I looked at Li Zhuhong, who was still sleeping soundly. I closed the door gently and walked to the door. I put my ear to Wu Aiting's door and eavesdropped for a while. I felt that I was too shameful, so I quickly left. I remembered yesterday. I wanted to please Wu Aiting and move her suitcase into the room, but I was afraid that Li Zhuhong and Lu Chuanjie would see it, so I quickly walked away. I feel that I'm really useless. If I like someone, why should I be afraid of others seeing me?
I slowly walked to the side of the road. The sky was already bright. Occasionally, a few people passed by. There were a few birds chirping on the trees. I saw that the branches were no longer shaking. Only then did I know that the cold wave had passed. It didn't rain at all. Looking at the roadside, there was a lot of dew on the grass.
I strolled to the daoist class's house, the place where we had stayed the day before yesterday. I leaned against the window and looked inside. There were some scraps of paper thrown by the students, and perhaps a few pairs of socks and shoes that were worn out. When she looked into our room, there was nothing. I pushed the door open and walked into Wu Aiting's room. Only then did I realize that I had never been here before. There was a musty smell in the room. Yes, there was also the smell of perfume. I imagined her walking around the room, or sitting on a stool, reading at the table. My heart started beating very fast. I didn't dare to think about it anymore and quickly walked out.
I looked up and saw Director Ning riding over. When she saw me, she quickly got out of the car.
"Little Zhang, you're out for a walk so early?”
I saw that Director Ning's clothes were covered in mud, and her pants were still rolled up. I knew that Director Ning must have been busy until very late last night.
"Department Director Ning, you went back to farming?”
Director Ning pushed the broken bicycle to my right and said,
"Little Zhang, you guys must not learn from us. It's very difficult to be a half-family and busy at both ends. At home, she was at a disadvantage and no one helped her. I'm at a disadvantage at school. I have to rush back to help her as soon as something happens. Forget it, let's not talk about me. This mid-term exam…"
Before Director Ning could finish, I quickly said,
"Director Ning, I know I didn't do well. I've been thinking about this since yesterday, but I still can't think of any way to improve.”
Director Ning patted my shoulder with her left hand and said,
"Little Zhang, I'm not criticizing you. It's not easy for you to get such good results when you just started working…"
I interrupted Director Ning again.
"Director Ning, please don't laugh at me. Every subject in Class One is worse than Class Two, especially Chinese. The average difference is more than two points, which means that I'm much worse than Teacher Zhou.”
"I'm not laughing at you. I'm telling the truth. Think about it, Teacher Zhou has been teaching for almost twenty years. She has a lot of experience, especially as a form teacher. How can you compare with her from the beginning? Many jobs are just starting out. The more time you have, the more experience you have. "Take me for example. At first, I was a school representative. I was a poor farmer. After class, I was much worse than my colleagues. However, I refused to admit defeat. I listened to their lectures seriously, learned, imitated, and used my own methods. Later on, I surpassed them. See, I was the first to become a public teacher. As for you, I find that you are quite willing to use your brain and learn. I often see you ask Teacher Zhou. I believe that you will surpass Teacher Zhou soon. However, based on my experience, there are three ways to be a form teacher. The first is to find the class leader. I choose the class leader to be a student with a strong sense of justice and good academic performance. The second was discipline. Leader Mao had said that discipline was the guarantee of the implementation of the route. Without discipline, no matter how good the teacher was, he would not be able to teach well. The third method was rewards and punishments. Those who performed well would be praised in time, and those who performed poorly would be criticized in time. Praise could be called out, but criticism should be careful. Generally, no one would be called out, and the number of times should not be too many. After the call was called out, they had to talk to each other individually, using both hard and soft methods to urge them to correct. Go to the office and sit for a while. I'll go wash up and come back. I still have something to tell you.”
When we arrived at the office door, Director Ning pushed the bicycle towards his dormitory. I looked at Director Ning's back. How could such a short and thin person be so strong? Why can't I be like him and have so many ideas to support myself to do things well? I unlocked the door and sat down on the stool when Director Ning came over. He had changed into a clean coat and pants. He sat beside Teacher Zhou and placed his fingers on the table. He looked at me and said,
"This morning, I'll go and pick up the students from Qing Ji. They have fifteen students in the first year of junior high school. I'll distribute them evenly. Class 2 has eight students and your class has seven. They might come over in the morning and enter the class in the afternoon. Ask Accountant Wang to get the tables and benches. I've already informed him to buy dozens of tables and benches this morning. The atmosphere is very bad. You have to pay attention to the situation in the class at all times. You can solve the small things yourself. If you encounter any trouble, tell me and I'll handle it.”
I listened carefully to every word Director Ning said until he said that it was too early to go to the kitchen. I followed him out. I walked to the bell and Lu Xianchun ran over to give me a note before running away again. I opened the note and was shocked.
"Teacher, Old Soldier Fu Guo touched my face. He's very bad!”
My heart immediately sank. Wasn't this acting like a hooligan? This was too much! I arranged for Fu Guobing to be the class monitor. His grades are not bad and he seems to be very polite to the teachers. My class monitor actually did such a thing. It can be seen how bad the atmosphere in the class is! I didn't know how I finished my breakfast. I was thinking about how to deal with this matter until I entered the class to check on the students. If he directly said that the soldiers of the rich country were hooligans, would criticism and punishment make the soldiers of the rich country give up? Fu Guobing seemed to have a good relationship with Zheng Debin, Wang Side, and the others. Ever since Zheng Debin visited them, especially after Wu Aiting gave his sister a set of clothes, he was very polite to the teacher on the surface. However, he still talked in class and made small movements, causing the other students to laugh. Wang Side saw that his teacher was well-behaved, but there were a lot of actions behind his teacher's back. It seemed that making him a sports committee member did not have much positive effect. I thought of a candidate for a class committee member, Chen Changde. He was the top student in the class. He was a very upright person with good morals. He was very polite to the teacher. However, every time he did his homework, he would see his snot flowing out and then suddenly shrink back. It was disgusting.
Today was the morning English self-study session. I checked the students and only returned to the office when the last student entered the class. When I returned to the office, I was still thinking about the soldiers of the rich country. Teacher Zhou happened to be here too, so I told her about the situation. Teacher Zhou said,
"We can't let such a person be a cadre. Otherwise, the order of the entire class will be messed up by him and affect the image of the teacher. The teacher believed in students with bad morals. My thoughts are that no matter how good your grades are, you can't be a cadre on duty if your moral character is bad. I suggest that you take advantage of the new students joining this time and choose a new class leader. You can hold an election. First, set the conditions. Morality first, courage to manage second, grades third, and trust in the teachers fourth. Four conditions are enough.”
I was ecstatic. Why didn't I think of that! Qingji's students entered the class in the afternoon, so I changed my language class to the last period in the afternoon to prepare for the re-election of the class committee. I spent the entire morning thinking about the class committee, who would be the best class monitor, who would be the study committee member, who would be the labor committee member, who would be the sports committee member, and the vice class monitor... Who knew that a major incident would happen in the afternoon.
My father came. The first word " ga " in the word " family " meant " grandpa ". At first, I thought that he was passing by my place to visit. I bought two sets of lunch at noon. My father ate half and left half. The food in our canteen probably didn't suit his taste. After returning to the dormitory and saying a few words, his father told him his purpose for coming.
"I'm here to matchmake you. I've set my eyes on a girl from Dongfeng. She's very good-looking and knows how to craft. She's already a tailor. She opened her own tailor shop and even took in an apprentice. Come with me to take a look. It's not far away. It's just beside that Taoist class.”
I remembered what Director Ning said to me this morning. I came from the countryside. Could it be that I found another person from the countryside? Become a so-called half-household? I really don't want to. My father pulled my hand and said,
"Let's go. I'll take you there to take a look. I don't need you to agree. If you think it's okay, then we can go together. If you're not willing, then I'll have done it for nothing.”
Don't worry, my dad is over 60 years old. His hands are very strong. My hands hurt a little when he squeezed them, so I had to follow him. It's really not far. It's the road where we went to Qin Chang Sheng's house to have a drink. After walking less than two miles, the family duke pointed to a tailor shop by the side of the road and said,
"This is what I wanted to tell you."
That woman was really pretty. Her skin was soft and tender, and her eyes were also very beautiful. I didn't dare to look at her too much, afraid that I would fall into her trap. I only heard my father brag about how I loved studying. I didn't know where he heard it from, but he exaggerated it and made it sound like I was a perfect person. That woman was very shy. She brought tea for my father and me. I held it in my hand and didn't drink it. I felt that if I drank it, it would mean that I agreed. I kept looking at the ground, unable to say a word. It wasn't until I felt that two to three hours had passed and the afternoon class was about to start that I stood up and said,
"It's time for class. I should go back.”
The girl sent me to the main road, but my father was still talking about something. I noticed that the girl had already entered the house, so I took out my travel alarm clock and turned it on. It was only past one o'clock. It was still early for class. When I was walking back, I thought of Grandpa. He came to our house. Whether it was father, mother, or us children, we would listen to him talk about some of his past experiences, like telling stories. Every time he came, I would surround the fire and keep listening to him doze off. My father urged me to go to sleep, but I was still unwilling to get up.
When she returned to school, she saw a table in the corridor from afar. Only then did she know that Accountant Wang had bought it back at noon. I looked at the door of Class 2. It was empty. I knew that Teacher Zhou had already asked the students to move in. I called out to Wang Side and asked him to organize a few people to move the tables and benches into the classroom. I directed them. It was very crowded, so I had to put up the corridor between Group 3 and Group 4. I felt that it was not enough, so I adjusted it. I added one behind the middle two groups, one behind Group 1, and two in front of Group 4 until the wall. That way, it would be difficult to see the blackboard from the two tables in front. It was a lot for seven people to sit at four tables, but it was very crowded. However, it would not affect much if they took turns to sit.
Just then, Director Ning brought the students over. There were indeed seven people, two boys and five girls. One of the girls was very tall, a little dark, and very good-looking. I took the name list from Director Ning's hands and read,
"Liu Sijia."
"Here!"
The first one was the girl. I asked her to sit at the end of the second group and then arranged her to sit in the new seats. After the arrangement, the bell rang. Wu Aiting walked over with her lesson plan and books and asked me in a low voice,
"Where did you go this afternoon?”
I didn't know what I was saying. I blushed and didn't know. Wu Aiting was suspicious. The bell rang, so I had to leave, no, escape.
By the last class, my class was ready. First, I rearranged the seats and placed Zheng Debin, Wang Side, and Fu Guobing in front of and behind several groups so that it was inconvenient for them to speak in class. I arranged the seven new students separately so that they could integrate into the class. Then, I wrote the four standards that Teacher Zhou suggested to me on the blackboard and asked the students to write the names of the five class leaders in their hearts on the paper. Then, I asked Zheng Debin to write the votes on the blackboard. In the end, Chen Changde really had eighteen votes at most. Cheng Zuhong actually got 17 votes for second place. This is really beyond my expectations. His results aren't very good, and he doesn't seem to be outstanding in anything else. Why did so many people choose him? The Fuguo soldiers were still in the top four. Liu Sijia had seven votes. There were many people with six votes behind me. I divided them into groups and selected four people to be team leaders. Then, I left the team leaders and five class leaders behind. I made strict requirements in terms of moral character, responsible spirit, and learning spirit. I made it clear that if there was a problem in any aspect, they had to be replaced. Then, I arranged the positions. Chen Changde was the class leader, Cheng Zuhong was the sports committee member, Fu Guobing was the study committee member, Liu Sijia was the labor committee member, and Wang Lijuan was the deputy class leader. I explained their respective responsibilities. Finally, I left the soldiers of the rich country behind. I asked him,
"This time, the students voted for the class committee, and you got fourth place. It doesn't seem like the number of votes that a former class monitor should get. I appointed you as the class monitor, which means that I trust you the most. Tell me, what do you think is the reason?”
The soldiers of the rich country seemed to have been defeated by the election. They lowered their heads and did not say anything.
"Think about it. Is there a problem with your moral character? Have you been responsible enough? Is there still a gap in your studies?"
He thought for a long time before saying,
"I like to talk to my classmates sometimes, and I'm not as good at studying as Chen Changde.”
I felt that it was about time. Before I left, I instructed again,
"Go back and think about it carefully. Moral character, responsible spirit, and studies. If you have any problems in these three aspects, you should understand them clearly and sincerely correct them. In the next election, the students will vote for you.”
I emphasized the word " moral character " twice. He should have heard what I meant.
Looking at the back view of the Fuguo soldiers, I praised myself for being so flexible. I didn't know how to talk to the Fuguo soldiers. In the end, the Fuguo soldiers were the ones with the most votes. I took the opportunity to stay behind. I didn't say that he was a hooligan. I only hinted that it should be a more ideal method.
I was feeling smug when Li Zhuhong came out of Class 2 and ran to my side.
"Who is that old man from this afternoon to you?”
I said,
"Grandpa."
He still asked,
"Why did he bring you out?"
I didn't know what I answered, and I didn't even hear it clearly.
We went to the cafeteria to eat. As soon as I finished eating, I heard Teacher Zhou calling me from the top of the mountain and waving at me. I ran over and Teacher Zhou said to me in a low voice,
"Xiao Wu from the supply and marketing cooperative next door asked me to introduce her to a partner. I agreed, but I didn't reply. Today, she came again. I think you're suitable. No, go take a look. If you think you're suitable, then go out.”
I could only follow Teacher Zhou to the living room of their house. Teacher Sun was washing the dishes and came out to bring a chair for me to sit on. A very short woman came out of the house. Teacher Zhou said,
"Little Wu, this is Teacher Zhang."
I was still holding a bowl of rice in my hand as I sat on the chair that Teacher Sun had brought over. I didn't know what to say or do. Teacher Sun brought a cup of tea and handed it to me before returning to the kitchen to clean up. Teacher Zhou talked about a lot of my strengths, such as being serious at work, diligent in learning, and sincere…I heard it all and didn't know how that woman felt. I looked over boldly and realized that the woman was far more daring than me. She stared straight at me. I realized that she was much worse than the tailor my grandfather had introduced. At least her eyes were warm and affectionate. This woman, on the other hand, was like her captive. I felt a little disdainful. Perhaps it was because of my eyes. She began to speak ill of the teacher.
"…Teachers are the kings of children.'I have five buckets of food at home, I don't want to be the king of children.'Women can teach, but men are useless…"
My head was numb. I didn't know what Teacher Zhou said. I said goodbye in a panic and fled to the dormitory. What was going on today? There are already two people introducing girlfriends to me in a day. Do you think I can only find a tailor in the countryside? If he wanted to find someone in the city, he could only find a woman like this?…………As she thought about it, Wu Aiting came in and said,
"Zhang Su Ning, Li Zhuhong said that Teacher Zhou introduced a girlfriend to you? I heard that she's a salesperson from the capital market department next door? Isn't it nice? Did you manage to negotiate?"
I sat up, a little angry.
"Who are you? He even mocked our teacher and said something like,'If you have five buckets of food at home, don't be the king of children.'Especially saying that we men shouldn't be teachers! I just like being a teacher!"
Wu Aiting smiled so brightly that her eyes lit up. She deliberately angered me.
"I've heard of this saying before. What's wrong with it? Isn't your teacher a stinking intellectual? What else do you have to pick on?”
I looked at her angrily, and she also glared at me, meaning, so what? That's what I said! Fortunately, Li Zhuhong came in. This time, he didn't say to Wu Aiting,"
"I heard that woman is very proud. What's there to be proud of as a salesperson? Even if it was a state-owned unit, what was so great about it! Besides, I heard that it's a supply and marketing cooperative. That's not a good unit!”
Wu Aiting didn't taunt me anymore. Instead, she said to Li Zhuhong,
"How is it? We'll go and take a look tomorrow!”
