"Wait!"
Zhao Liying suddenly stood up and called out to Ye Ling, hesitating,"Are you really not going to teach me anything?"
Xie Na and Zhang Zifeng also looked at Ye Ling, their eyes filled with hesitation.
Ye Ling stopped and said," It's not like you don't want to teach them anything. You can also teach them the principles of being a human being. Anyway, other than those that can't be taught academically, you can teach them anything else."”
"Alright then!"
Zhao Liying looked at the textbook in her hand and placed it on the table.
"Alright, it's time for class. Don't let the children wait too long!”
Ye Ling took the lead and walked out.
There were five grades in the school. The first and second grades were next to the office, while the third, fourth and fifth grades were opposite.
Ye Ling walked to the window of the fifth grade and looked outside for a while. After making sure that no one was running around, he walked in.
There were only about ten students in the fifth grade, seven of whom were boys and five were girls. They were all dressed very plainly.
As soon as Ye Ling entered, a girl asked,""Are you our substitute teacher?”
Ye Ling walked to the podium and nodded." That's right. I'm your substitute teacher for this afternoon."”
After getting Ye Ling's acknowledgment, the girl immediately stood up.""Stand up!"
"Hello, teacher!"
The rest of the children also stood up.
Ye Ling smiled and gestured for them to sit down. He glanced at the textbook on the desk and muttered,""Put away your textbooks. Although I'm a substitute teacher, I don't know how to teach. I've never taught before. I haven't even attended high school.”
"Ye Gou didn't even go to high school?”
"No way, it's hard to imagine why Jiang Shuying would fall for someone who didn't even go to high school.”
"No one is lying about this Ye Gou. Someone has already investigated his personal history online!”
"Ye Ling grew up in the orphanage. After he finished nine years of compulsory education at the age of sixteen, he started to mingle in society until he married Big Mimi and the others.”
"Sob sob, how am I not better than Ye Gou? Why am I not the one who married Sister Fairy?”
“……”
Ye Ling took a piece of chalk from the podium and wrote a line of words on the blackboard:
Three-inch chalk, three-foot podium is the fate of the country. A loyal heart, a lifetime of candlelight casting the soul of the people.
"Although I can't teach you how to read and write, I can teach you how to behave!”
Ye Ling pointed at the line of words he wrote on the blackboard and asked,""Do you know how to read it?"
The first girl stood up and replied,""I know the teacher. It's pronounced as 'Three inches of chalk, three feet of podium, the fate of the country. A loyal heart, a lifetime of candlelight casting the soul of the people.”
"Very good!"
Ye Ling nodded and asked,"Then do you know who this is for?"?”
The girl bit her lips and thought for a long time. In the end, she shook her head and sat down.
None of the other children sitting below could understand either.
"This is for your teacher!"
Ye Ling explained," The ancients said that heaven, earth, the monarch, parents, and teachers. The teacher is the teacher. I have to say that you were born in the countryside. Compared to those children in the city, you are unfortunate, but you are also very lucky."”
"The main reason is this teacher.”
"Perhaps some of you might think that teachers are just there to teach.”
"Then let me tell you, there is!"
Ye Ling walked down from the podium and sat at a table in the middle. He said as if he was chatting with a friend,""In a person's life, the most important person is his teacher, other than his family.”
"I can tell you bluntly that your future is not in your own hands, nor is it in the hands of your parents, but in the hands of your teachers.”
" If you meet a good teacher, then congratulations. Your future will be bright. But if you meet a bad teacher, then sorry, your future will be dark.”
"I have a rough understanding of your teachers. They are all top students from the city. They gave up their high-paying positions and came to the difficult rural areas to teach.”
"No objections. Your teacher is a good teacher. This is why you are luckier than the city children.”
The students in the classroom stared at Ye Ling in a daze. They didn't know how much he had listened.
"Ye Gou's words are reasonable, but why do I feel like they don't understand?”
"Nonsense, how old are they? They're only in the fifth grade. It'd be strange if they could understand Ye Gou's teachings!”
"Are you an idiot? Can't you tell that Dog Ye is trying to stall for time and wait for the class to end?”
"Although Ye Gou is stalling for time, I have to admit that his lecture is quite interesting. The future of a student is indeed in the hands of a teacher.”
"Three-inch chalk, three-foot podium, a loyal heart, a lifetime of candlelight casting the soul of the people. After reading this sentence, as a teacher, I actually had the urge to cry.”
"That's true. It's just hard to imagine that Ye Gou, who didn't even go to high school, could say something like that.”
Outside the classroom, Zhao Liying, who had specially come to ask for advice from Ye Ling, was listening to Ye Ling's endless lectures and was unknowingly fascinated.
Ye Ling glanced at Zhao Liying outside the window, stood up, and walked out, asking,""What's wrong? Did you encounter any problems?”
Zhao Liying snapped back to her senses and said gloomily,"I don't know how to teach them. They won't listen to me when I tell them stories.”
"Right!"
Zhao Liying's eyes suddenly lit up as she turned her attention to Ye Ling."Why don't we switch? You teach the second grade. I think you were quite good just now. Even I was fascinated!”
"What are you thinking about?"
Ye Ling was speechless." The second-graders are only a little old. Will they listen to this?"”
"Then what should I do?" Zhao Liying's face was full of tears. It seemed like she was about to go crazy!
Ye Ling thought about it and suddenly looked at the first grade classroom. A smile appeared on his face."Isn't Mr. He teaching the first grade? He's a university teacher anyway. He can teach one class or two classes.”
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Ye Ling, you're really too smart!”
After finding a solution, Zhao Liying rushed back to the classroom. Ye Ling shook his head and returned to the classroom.
