At seven o'clock, Xu Suizhu came to Zhou Lihua's house carrying a bag of diapers washed in boiling water and dried in the sun in one hand, and a little bun that had just been fed in the other hand.
Zhou Lihua was sitting at the door wearing a straw hat and waiting. When she saw her mother and daughter coming, she immediately got up and took the child.
"Just go to work with peace of mind. The child is with me and nothing will happen to him." Seeing Xu Suizhu looking at the little bun reluctantly, Zhou Lihua promised with a smile.
"Grandma, let me go! What's in the bag is a diaper. If it's dirty, change it for him. Change it and leave it for me to wash when I come back at noon. If you're hungry and I haven't come back yet, please get some warm water and put it in the bottle.
Thread, shake it up and feed it to him..."
Lala Zaza gave a lot of instructions, and as it turned out to be a quarter past seven, Xu Suizhu kissed the little bun on the forehead and turned to rush to school.
There are many breakfast stalls at the school gate, including sesame pancakes, sea oyster pancakes, sea rice and tofu puffs, rice balls with sea oysters and bacon...
Looking at the sesame sesame cakes being baked in the oil barrel-modified sesame cake oven, I couldn’t help but think of the local sesame cakes my old colleagues from my workplace miss, saying how delicious they are! The skin is browned and crispy, and the inside is thick with layers of sesame seeds sprinkled around it.
...It sounded like she wanted to try one at that moment. Unfortunately, most of the sesame cakes in later generations were thin, and she couldn't find the same type of sesame cakes all over the city. She didn't expect to have such benefits when she came here.
Xu Suizhu happily bought a pair of sesame seed fried dough sticks. The fried dough sticks just came out of the pan were crispy and crispy. They were sandwiched in the same crispy and fragrant sesame seed cakes. After taking a bite, she felt full of happiness. Tomorrow, bring an enamel cup to scoop out a bowl of dried shrimps and tofu.
I believe it will also tickle your taste buds.
By the time she entered the school gate while walking, it was exactly half past seven.
I hurriedly said hello to the doorman who was about to close the door, and went straight to the teacher's office of the third grade group.
"Is this the teacher Xu that the principal said? College students have a good mental outlook!" The grade leader asked for leave on Saturday because he had something to do and didn't come. Today was the first time we met. He looked at Xu Suizhu with a smile and a look of relief on his face.
The school finally got a college graduate, and he also teaches English. I really want to use him as a treasure, but I still have to warn you:
"Mr. Xu, the principal told me about your situation. No, the classes assigned to you are basically in the first or second period in the morning and the second period in the afternoon. In the past, English teachers for senior high school students were scarce, and English classes were held sporadically, every week.
Even 4 classes cannot be guaranteed. After you take over, you hope to ensure that each graduating class can complete 4 English classes a week. I hope that under your leadership, this senior class of high school students will achieve good results. If you encounter any problems or difficulties along the way,
Just come to me..."
"Thank you, Teacher Xu!" Xu Suizhu thanked her sincerely, "I will do my best to teach them English knowledge."
"Okay, okay, class is about to start. Go and get ready. By the way, have you put away the lunch box?"
Lunch box? What lunch box?
Seeing Xu Suizhu's confused expression, the head teacher of Class 2, Grade 3, said with a smile: "Did Teacher Xu forget to bring his lunch box on his first day at work? It's okay. There are many lunch boxes in the cafeteria that the graduating students did not take away.
I'll find a clean one. I'll keep my rice in the canteen and steam it for you."
Only then did Xu Suizhu realize that these days, you have to bring your own rice to eat in the canteen. The canteen only provides vegetables, not staple food.
So shameless: "Thank you, Teacher Yu! I'll go with you and look for the location of the cafeteria. I'll also bring the rice to the cafeteria tomorrow and return it to you then."
"Teacher Xu is too polite, but don't worry about a few handfuls of rice." Teacher Yu said with a smile.
Then he took Xu Suizhu to the canteen and helped her steam the lunch box.
Xu Suizhu glanced at the dark canteen. On the dark mud floor, there were several greasy square tables spread out, without even a stool.
I heard from Teacher Yu that students all eat standing up. Firstly, there are not so many stools for them to sit on, and secondly, they eat faster while standing. They place vegetables on the table, hold lunch boxes in their hands, and change one group to the next after eating.
Most of the teachers took it back to the office to eat, and they could change dishes or something when they got together.
Xu Suizhu twitched, as expected, the middle school cafeteria in the late 1980s cannot be judged by the standards of thirty years later.
Back in the office, the bell rang for the first class. Xu Suizhu picked up the lecture notes and headed to Class 1, Grade 3.
Since the students in Class 1, Grade 3, heard what the students in Class 2 said about Xu Suizhu's awesomeness on Saturday, they learned that the first period today was English class. They sat down in their seats before class started, curiously waiting for the new English class.
The arrival of the teacher.
A few of the more aggressive ones were lying in the last row, discussing whether to give the new teacher a blow or something.
It’s not that they were hostile to new teachers, but that every time they came, the new teachers left after teaching only a few classes. The longest they stayed was just over half a year. At that time, I thought those teachers really liked them and were willing to stay and teach.
They waited until they graduated from high school, but when the opportunity arose to be transferred to the county seat, they left without looking back. This made people happy for nothing.
Just when several Xiongguawazi were discussing whether to confront Xu Suizhu, Xu Suizhu walked in with relaxed steps and a smile.
Before I could be surprised that the new teacher was so beautiful, I heard a standard British English opening speech, which made the students excited and envious.
After Xu Suizhu introduced herself first in English and then in Chinese, she asked the students with a smile: "Do you want to be fluent in English like me? Then, please put down the books in your hands and follow my ideas!"
Huh? Put down the book? Follow her train of thought?
This new teacher is interesting!
The students below pricked up their ears one by one, watching Xu Suizhu writing on the blackboard and listening to her lecture. Before they knew it, more than half an hour had passed.
"...Okay, that's it for today's class. In the next ten minutes, we go back to the textbook. Textbook knowledge is also very important. After all, the test points are all here. But you need to learn and use it, rather than memorizing it boringly.
, silently..."
The students all laughed, feeling that the new teacher's words touched their hearts.
"Teacher, do we no longer need to recite or write down from memory?" The bold student began to get angry.
Xu Suizhu raised her eyebrows: "Of course... no! But there is a prerequisite for recitation and dictation, and that is understanding. OK, I will first ask a few students to read aloud in different roles. Is there anyone who actively wants to read? It seems not, then I will
I’ve just drawn the student number. I hope to see you take the initiative to raise your hands and ask for reading aloud next time. Let me emphasize that when I say reading aloud by character, I want to read the tone of the character. It is not a little monk chanting sutras, but like a movie or TV series.
The dubbing is the same, so that’s interesting, isn’t it?”
She winked at her classmates, and then drew three student numbers. Today's text has two characters, and two students read it respectively, and another student read the narration.
Xu Suizhu listened to it again and shook his head to express dissatisfaction.
"It's too plain. You have to read it like me." She used an exaggerated tone and expression to interpret a dialogue that looked very much like a dialogue between movie characters. The students listened with gusto.
"Just changing the tone makes it more comfortable for people to listen to, right? Come on, it's your turn! Don't be shy, be bold! What a manly man, what do you look like! Be good! The teacher is satisfied with the reading. Next
I’ll treat you to Smarties during class.”
"Teacher, what are Smarties?" a short boy in the front row asked curiously.
Xu Suizhu gave up and said: "Want to know? Then behave well. Time is running out, hurry up and do it again. Imagine that you are the characters in the play... Yes! That's it, continue... Don't just listen to the narration.
