42. I'm drunk!
Amelia really didn't do anything unexpected. She took the book I gave her and asked me in the office or dormitory after reading it. When I told her, she listened very seriously and didn't seem to be pretending. In addition, she also asked Wu Aiting some math questions and asked Li Zhuhong some English questions. Maybe her aunt told her to study Chinese, but she asked me more questions than math and English.
After a year of hard work, we finally got a reward. The overall results of our three classes are similar. Class 2 is still the first, with an average of 0.8 points higher than our class. Class 3 is 18 points lower. However, in terms of language, Class 1 has unexpectedly improved. It is actually slightly higher than Class 2 and Class 3 by 0.3 points and 0.1 points. Actually, there is no difference. Class 2's English is unexpectedly higher than Class 1, and Class 1's Mathematics is unexpectedly higher than Class 2. In this world, some things could go far beyond your expectations and change dramatically.
The principal gathered the teachers for a meeting and first announced the news of the payment of the form teacher's allowance. On the spot, he gave each form teacher 30 yuan. Teacher Zhou whispered to me,
" You haven't received any form teacher allowance for decades. You've received an allowance the moment you became a form teacher. This is a first-class salary…"
I was so excited these few days that Wu Aiting said to me,
"Zhang Su Ning, what's the matter? Why are you so happy?”
I said,
"What do you think?"
I didn't explain it to her, so she should understand.
I had to fill in the report card in the afternoon. I handed 20 yuan to Li Zhuhong and said,
"You and Wu Aiting have helped me with the class teacher's work. I'll treat you to a drink. With this 20 yuan, go to the restaurant and bring at least four dishes and a bottle of wine. Invite Wu Aiting, Lu Chuanjie, and Zhang Moxiong. We'll have a good time tonight.”
Li Zhuhong took the money and said,"
"I don't think we need that much. I think ten yuan is enough.”
I pushed his hand away and gestured for him to put it away.
"You can use it first.”
In the afternoon, many people came to look for me. First, Liu Sijia came to ask about her results. I was shocked. I hadn't paid attention to her in a long time. I felt very guilty.
"You've improved a lot. Chinese is the highest score, while Mathematics and foreign languages are in the front. I guess you're in the top few in total.”
Liu Sijia's small eyes were still filled with resentment. I just couldn't understand why she would have such a look at such a young age. Could it be that there was really a saying that one was born with it? She still refused to leave. I said,
"Come and get your report card tomorrow."
"Teacher, can you show me my rank in the class?”
"We don't have a ranking."
"Then please line up for me."
Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, I could only add a few good results together. In the end, I came up with the result of sixth place. There might be more who would come later, but it shouldn't be lower than the top ten. She was very happy when she got the name, but her eyebrows were still furrowed. She asked me,
"Teacher, will you visit us during the summer vacation?”
I wasn't prepared for this question, nor had I heard anyone mention it before. I could only say,
"It depends on the school's arrangements. I haven't heard any news of a visit yet.”
"If you want to visit, you must come to our place.”
She only left after I agreed.
The second person who came to look for me was Yu Lian. She asked a lot of questions. She took out the "Ancient Poetry Source" that I had chosen for her. I once told her to read some of the chapters that I had marked. If she was interested, she could recite a few. If she didn't understand, she could ask me. She chose the tenth poem of the Nineteen Ancient Poems:
Far away is the Altair, and the beautiful woman of the Han River.
With slender hands, she played with the loom.
All day long, he could not write a poem, and his tears fell like rain.
The Yellow River and Han River are clear and shallow. How far away are they from each other?
In the middle of the water, I can't speak.
I forgot that she had never learned traditional Chinese characters before, so I told her word by word. She asked,
"Since the river is shallow, why don't we cross it?”
This was also a question that I had asked before. It really wasn't easy to answer, so I could only reluctantly say,
"The Milky Way in the sky is the dividing line between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl drawn by the Queen Mother with a hairpin. It looks very shallow, but it's actually unfathomable. The Cowherd must have swam into the river many times, but he couldn't swim across it at all. He could only look at the other side of the river and wait for the Qixi magpie bridge to meet.”
"Brother Su Ning, can you tell me the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?”
I looked around and saw Teacher Zhou writing an appraisal with his head lowered. I felt that it was not good and said,
"I have a collection of folktales with me. However, it's better for you to read books that are more knowledgeable.”
She said,
"I don't recognize more than half of the words in this book.”
I took the Source of Ancient Poetry and said,
"I'll go to the library and find you a poetry anthology in simplified Chinese. That's all for today. I still have to write an appraisal. Otherwise, it'll be a problem to send out the report card tomorrow. Go and read a chapter of the book " Sixty Lectures on Basic Chinese Knowledge ". I'll find a time to explain it to you tomorrow.”
Amelia left. As I wrote the appraisal, I thought to myself that she had chosen this poem. It seemed that she still couldn't forget it. I had to be firm and never be alone with her. If that happened again, things might get out of hand.
Not long after Amelia left, Wu Aiting came again. She leaned beside me and flipped through the appraisals for a long time. She seemed to feel that it was not good, so she reached out and took the appraisals that Teacher Zhou had finished writing. She had nothing to say.
"Zhang Su Ning, look at what Teacher Zhou wrote. It's better than yours. Teacher Zhou, I'll read out a copy of Class One's appraisal.
"He's a smart kid. Last year, he was mischievous and talked a lot. He ganged up with Zheng Debin and the math teacher to go against each other, making the teachers feel that this student had no good educational prospects. After the new year, he became very diligent. He no longer cut corners on his homework and even took the initiative to ask the teacher questions. The math teacher said that he had solved many problems for the class. The English teacher praised him for being able to read English aloud. His essay also improved greatly. One of his essays was used as a model essay for the class...
"Look, what's written here! The appraisals I've seen all talk about the student's strengths first, then the shortcomings, and then the teacher's expectations. How can you write it like this? It's a mess!”
If she didn't read it, then it was fine. Once she read it, I was even more convinced that I could write it in such a way that I wouldn't stick to one style. Most importantly, every student's appraisal method was different. Only with a personality would the student be able to remember it and have an impact on the student. However, Teacher Zhou said something fair.
" The appraisal doesn't have to be done in the rigid format of 'Strengths-Weaknesses-Desires'. It's just written according to the format. There's no need to use your brain. Writing the small chapter like this requires you to focus on each student's personality and characteristics. You need to spend more time thinking and know the students like the back of your hand. We write it this way every year. You young people don't have to write it in an outdated format. Write it in a way that is beneficial to the students.”
I glanced at Wu Aiting.
"How is it? Even Teacher Zhou agreed. To think that you're a new generation from the 1980s!”
"You-!"
She wasn't really angry. She was just pouting. However, it wasn't good to lose her temper in the office. She immediately changed the topic and said,
"Li Zhuhong is ready and wants you to go over.”
"I still have a few more. I'll be done soon. What do you think Lu Chuanjie is doing?”
"Go and see for yourself. I'm going over.”
After I finished writing, I put the report card in the drawer and tidied up the table. I ran back to the dormitory. They had already arrived. I said,
"I'm sorry! I'm late. Let me toast everyone!"
I picked up the bottle of wine and saw that it was Brandy. I had never heard of it before. I looked at the dishes on the table. There was a plate of fish, a bream, a plate of stir-fried shredded pork, a plate of eel, also stir-fried shredded eel, and a plate of fried eggplant. I said,
"Where are your cups? Li Zhuhong, how can we drink without a cup?”
Zhang Moxiong said,
"The day before yesterday, I saw Department Director Ning eating rice dumplings while drinking. She was using a gargling cup.”
I immediately mobilized everyone to bring the rinsing cups over. The four of them poured a portion each in front of Wu Aiting. Wu Aiting stared at me and said,
"How can a woman drink?”
I said,
"There is a woman in our team who smokes, drinks, and plays cards.”
Wu Aiting glared at me and said,
"What kind of woman is that? Why don't you just be a man!"
Lu Chuanjie stopped me and said,
"It's fine if Aiting doesn't want to drink it. Come, pour some for me and Moxiong, and also some red wine.”
When I heard that he was called " Aiting," I felt a sour feeling in my heart. I knew that there was no reason for my jealousy. Wu Aiting had already gotten together with me, so why should I be calculative?
Just as we were about to drink, Amelia came in with a book. Li Zhuhong said,
"Amelia, have you eaten? Come, eat with us. Your 'Brother Su Ning' paid for us.”
Li Zhuhong was also a busybody. I glanced at Wu Aiting, but she didn't have any strange expressions. It seemed that Wu Aiting was a very masculine girl and didn't care much about these words. Hence, I said,
"Amelia, how about eating with us?”
"I still have a spoon. I'll go get it.”
Wu Aiting went over and took the spoon. Yu Lian sat by the bed and leaned against Wu Aiting. I raised my glass and said,
" Thank you for your help, everyone. Wu Aiting and Li Zhuhong have always been the subject teachers of my class and have been the greatest help. Lu Chuanjie started teaching English for a period of time and gave our class a very good foundation. Zhang Moxiong doesn't need to be mentioned. If you hadn't intervened that time, I might have been injured by them. Come, let's have a drink!"
"However, Wu Aiting and Yu Lian have nothing to drink. This is my mistake. I should have asked Li Zhuhong to buy two bottles of soda, but it's too late now. Li Zhuhong took a sip and stuck out her tongue.
"So spicy! Hiss-hiss-"
Zhang Moxiong said,
"A man, what's the point of drinking! Come, Li Zhuhong, let's drink!”
I saw Li Zhuhong take a sip symbolically and then start hissing again. I said,
"Why does this wine taste a little sweet to me? How do you feel?"
Li Zhuhong picked up the cup and poured it into mine. Lu Chuanjie said,
"I also think it's very spicy. Zhang Su Ning, drink it for me too.”
Then he poured it into my cup. In an instant, my cup was half full. Only Zhang Moxiong didn't touch it.
"I'm the one who's treating you guys to a drink today. If you pour it all to me, won't it become you guys treating me to a drink?”
Wu Aiting pointed at Lu Chuanjie with her chopsticks and said,
"You two aren't like men, pouring wine for Zhang Su Ning. Look at Zhang Mo Xiong, he drinks and smokes. Have you heard the principal mention it? Her lover did not smoke or drink. She said,'A man who doesn't smoke or drink. How can he be a man?'The principal encouraged her lover. Now that she knew it, she would go buy cigarettes, alcohol, and cook delicious dishes to go with the wine as soon as her lover came back. Who would think highly of you if you were all like this?”
I sifted the wine into their glasses again. Li Zhuhong stopped me and said,
"I really can't drink it."
Lu Chuanjie also imitated Li Zhuhong, so I said,
"If you don't want to drink, I'll drink!"
I drank almost half a cup in one gulp. The wine rose up in my stomach. I endured it and urged everyone to eat. I didn't care about what happened after that. I only cared about drinking and eating. The principal knocked on the window and called for a meeting. We chatted and laughed as we walked out. Li Zhuhong suggested that we go to the toilet first, so we rushed to the toilet like a swarm of bees. When we came back and passed the field, Li Zhuhong jumped and hit the backboard of the basketball hoop with her hand. Lu Chuanjie said,
"Your jump is really good!"
I also jumped, but I didn't manage to reach it. I also jumped up with all my might, but it was still far away. When I landed, I said to Li Zhuhong,
"Shall we fight?"
As he spoke, he grabbed Li Zhuhong's body and tried to push him to the ground. In the end, it wasn't him who fell to the ground, but me. Zhang Moxiong said,
"Let's go, the principal is shouting again!”
We swarmed to the office again.
I didn't know what the principal said at all. I only felt something surging out. I said to the principal,
"Principal, I can't take it anymore…"
The principal glanced at me and said,"
"Go back to your dormitory and rest."
I came out and before I could reach the corner, the things in my stomach gushed out. I held onto the wall, bent over, and vomited for a long time. When I no longer felt the feeling of the things in my stomach surging out, I walked into the dormitory unsteadily.
I don't know what happened after that. I just vaguely felt that Wu Aiting came in, said something, and left.
