Chapter 7 Principal Zhou
Song Yuanchao thought of his father, but it was a pity that Song Guangzeng could not survive it like Principal Zhou, and his expression was gloomy.
Uncle Liu patted Song Yuanchao on the shoulder and said nothing, because he knew what Song Yuanchao was thinking now, and this method was the best comfort at this time.
"Uncle Liu, I'm here today to see Principal Zhou." Song Yuanchao directly stated the purpose of his visit: "My father's problem finally needs a conclusion."
"This is necessary." Uncle Liu nodded in agreement: "Teacher Song is a good teacher, and Principal Zhou is also a good principal. This should be done."
Having said this, Uncle Liu glanced at the alarm clock on the table, stood up and said to Song Yuanchao: "Let's go, get out of class will be over soon. I'll ring the bell first and then take you to the principal's office."
"Thank you, Uncle Liu."
"Hey, this is what you should do. How do you say thank you? You still treat me as an outsider, don't you?" Uncle Liu glared at Song Yuanchao, then stood up and greeted Song Yuanchao to leave.
The two left the guard room, and Uncle Liu came to one end of the playground, where the bell was ringing. The earliest bell ringing in school was manual hand cranking. Now with the changes of the times, it has been changed to semi-electric. As long as the bell is ringing,
When the time is up, press the switch and the bell in the teaching building will ring.
In a few years, ringing the bell before and after class will be more convenient and fully automated. The bell will be electronically controlled and will ring automatically at regular intervals.
When the time came, Uncle Liu pressed the switch on time, and a crisp ringing of the end of get out of class bell echoed throughout the school.
When the bell continued to ring for more than ten seconds and then stopped, the quiet teaching building suddenly became noisy. Countless students ran out of the teaching building happily. Just like Song Yuanchao did back then, the children took advantage of the break between classes to
People are running and playing happily all over the playground.
After ringing the bell, Uncle Liu took Song Yuanchao and walked toward the teaching building. Along the way, many students greeted Uncle Liu and said hello to him. Uncle Liu smiled and nodded in response to the students.
Walking into the teaching building, Song Yuanchao felt as if he had returned to his student days. This familiar but unfamiliar place had never been to him since he returned to Shanghai in his previous life, but now he sets foot here again.
Looking at the students running past him one by one with laughter and laughter, and the teachers walking towards the office with teachings after class, Song Yuanchao seemed to see himself and the shadow of his father back then.
The school's teaching building is an old four-story building. This building was built in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and covers a large area. In later generations, this building had long been demolished and replaced by a new, more than ten-story teaching building.
building.
The principal's office is located in the last room on the east side of the corridor on the fourth floor. Song Yuanchao came here several times with his father when he was studying here.
Uncle Liu took Song Yuanchao to the principal's room, knocked gently on the door, and soon a "Please come in" came from the door.
Opening the door, I saw Principal Zhou Feng sitting in front of an old desk, wearing a pair of reading glasses and reading documents. When I looked up, I saw Uncle Liu coming. Principal Zhou put down the documents in his hands and asked with a smile: "Old Liu,
Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
"Haha, I have nothing to do. I just brought someone here to see you." Uncle Liu replied with a smile, then let Song Yuanchao out from behind, pointed at Song Yuanchao and said: "Principal, do you still know this young man? Come, take a closer look.
?”
"This...?" Principal Zhou was stunned when he saw Song Yuanchao. He took off his reading glasses and looked at Song Yuanchao carefully: "Who is this? It looks familiar, but I just can't remember..."
"Hello, Principal!" Song Yuanchao stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Principal Zhou.
"this……?"
"Principal, this is the son of Teacher Song Guangzeng and Song Yuanchao, a former student of our school." Uncle Liu saw Principal Zhou's confused expression and explained with a smile.
"Ah! Are you Lao Song's son? Yuan Chao?" Principal Zhou was suddenly startled and couldn't help but stood up. He walked a few steps to Song Yuan Chao and looked at him carefully. After a moment, he suddenly nodded again and again: "I recognize it, I recognize it.
Yes, it’s true
Son of Lao Song, your eyebrows and eyes are like your father's, and your nose and mouth are more like your mother's. By the way, this dress belongs to your father, right? I remember making it when I went to the capital for a meeting. No wonder I looked at it.
Why does it look so familiar?"
"Principal, you really have a good memory." Song Yuanchao nodded and smiled, but at the same time said a little embarrassedly: "Over the years, I went to the northwest to jump in and settle down, and I just came back yesterday. The conditions in the northwest are not good, and I have been away for eight years.
Now that I have grown taller, I can’t wear any of the clothes I used to wear at home. When I come to see you today, I can only find this set of clothes that my dad left behind..."
Principal Zhou's eyes were slightly red. He looked at Song Yuanchao, and then at Song Yuanchao's dress, and naturally he remembered the past when he worked with Song Guangzeng.
Song Guangzeng is a very capable teacher. In fact, with Song Guangzeng's academic qualifications from St. John's University, he would have no problem teaching at a university, let alone a middle school. However, he happened to stay in this school with Principal Zhou back then.
More than ten years.
In the past twenty years, Song Guangzeng has trained many good students for the country and society, and he has also become an outstanding teacher in the school, district and city.
If it weren't for Song Guangzeng who only focused on education and didn't like dealing with government affairs, maybe Song Guangzeng would have been the vice principal.
"Child..." Principal Zhou firmly held Song Yuanchao's shoulders and sighed with great emotion.
Song Guangzeng and his wife passed away, but Principal Zhou survived and is now back at work.
But now things have changed, and some things lost can never be recovered. Seeing Song Yuanchao, Principal Zhou felt filled with emotion and regret.
At this time, Uncle Liu, the concierge, had quietly left, and he helped close the door when he left.
"Sit down, sit down quickly."
After sighing with emotion, Principal Zhou finally remembered to entertain Song Yuanchao. He asked Song Yuanchao to sit down, and then hurriedly found a tea cup, tea leaves and other things.
Song Yuanchao did not regard himself as an outsider, so he took over Principal Zhou's task and poured himself a cup of tea, while helping Principal Zhou fill up his tea cup with boiling water.
The two sat down on the sofa near the window. Principal Zhou asked about Song Yuanchao's current situation with concern. After hearing about Song Yuanchao's experiences in the northwest over the years, he sighed again and asked Song Yuanchao with a little regret: "I remember you guys?"
You failed to graduate due to some reasons, but you have finished your sophomore year of high school anyway. The country resumed the college entrance examination the year before last, so why not take the college entrance examination?"
"The place where I go to the countryside is relatively remote. When I got the news, it was very short before the college entrance examination. Plus some other reasons, so I couldn't participate." Song Yuanchao replied with a smile.
"It's a pity, it's such a pity." Principal Zhou sighed, but soon he comforted: "It doesn't matter. If you didn't take the exam last year, you can take it again today. Besides, you are back now. The conditions are much better than those in the northwest. You
There is a foundation. Uncle Zhou will find some review materials for you in two days. If you study hard at home for a few months, you will definitely be admitted to college..."
