Chapter Fifteen: There Is No Absolute Road
()First update!
Li Mingfeng feels that there are always various coincidences and encounters in life, and of course there are also surprises. In her rough fifty years, she has met countless geniuses and young and old people of different colors. After graduating from university, she was sent to the countryside.
It is not easy to settle down in this small county town after having not returned to my hometown for five years.
As an English teacher in the county's No. 1 Middle School, she knows how difficult it is for students to learn English in this era. It's not that they don't have the conditions but that they can't find suitable teachers. This kind of talent is extremely lacking. Most students who have learned English
They were all taken over by companies or some units, and few English teachers were willing to stay and teach in schools. If I hadn’t shattered my dream at that time, I might not be where I am today.
Today was originally the last day of summer vacation. As the leader of the English subject group and the leader of the Academic Affairs Office of Wannan No. 1 Middle School, she is not only responsible for the entire English teaching task of No. 1 Middle School, but also studies the county's English teaching plan, so she likes to go to Xinhua
I was looking for some more authoritative English materials in the bookstore to enrich myself, but unexpectedly I saw a scene today that impressed me deeply.
She was not like those who were watching the fun, but she knew that the young man in front of her who called her old friend was indeed proficient in English, and it was extremely authentic American English, and his spoken English was extremely proficient. At least the thick general history of the world in his hand should be
It's hard for him.
It was so rare that there was such a talented young man hiding in this backward small town, and a feeling of cherishing talents arose in my heart.
"You little brat, I just helped you out of trouble, and you don't even thank me?"
Li Mingfeng, who was born in a big city, is not as rigid as ordinary rural teachers. On the contrary, he is extremely humorous. This has nothing to do with his age, it is entirely due to his innate character.
Looking at the female teacher in front of him, Zhang Zhenyi seemed to want to laugh. He was lucky enough to meet an outstanding person from County No. 1 Middle School. In just a moment, he understood that this teacher was from his previous life.
It seems that the principal of No. 1 Middle School is not the principal yet. He should be the director of the Academic Affairs Office and is also responsible for the county's English teaching tasks.
"Thank you, Teacher Li!"
He thanked her softly, and then his eyes fell on the book in his hand. In the young man's heart, although he knew that Teacher Li would have a lot of influence in the future, he did not want to use his selfishness for it.
In a people's teacher with a gentle personality and a kind heart.
"Kid, what's your name, and which school do you go to?"
It's just that things don't seem to be as they imagined. This teacher Li seems to want to get to the bottom of it. Behind the black-framed reading glasses, a pair of smart and fascinating eyes shine with a kind light, which makes people unbearable.
reject.
"Teacher Li, my name is Zhang Zhenyi. I have just graduated from elementary school. From tomorrow on, I will be a student in Class 1, Grade 1 of the Experimental Middle School."
"Oh? You just graduated from elementary school? It seems that you are really a kid. Looking at your stature, I thought you were a kid from the graduating class of junior high school or high school. But I was wrong. I went to sign up today."
Li Mingfeng was surprised again. The boy in front of her was actually a first-year junior high school student who had just graduated from elementary school. If she had known that the boy had only graduated from the fourth grade, she would have been even more surprised.
"What a little kid, I think your English is quite good. Can you understand all the words in this book? Where did you learn it?"
Pointing to the original English version of "Global History" in the young man's hand, the old man asked curiously.
In the age of the Internet explosion in the previous life, netizens once said, "Don't pretend anything, otherwise you will be struck by lightning." Zhang Zhenyi has now thought that he will get into trouble again by showing off his skills, but he doesn't want to reject the old man in front of him just now.
teacher.
"Well, I should be able to understand them all. I read a book at home that was printed a little worse than this one. I basically know all the words in it, except for some special nouns that I may not know. This is my uncle's book that I read myself.
I learned it. My uncle graduated from Jiangnan University."
"I see. It seems that your uncle is a talented man. He was able to get into the best comprehensive university in the province and teach such a smart nephew, hahaha!"
Hearty laughter spread from the old teacher's mouth, and people around him looked at him sideways. No one knew how this teacher Li, who always had a pleasant face but rarely spoke, could have such a good conversation with such a child.
"Hey! Thanks for the compliment, Teacher Li, but I'm not a genius, I'm just an ordinary student. In fact, other people can also learn English, but they just didn't learn it."
Zhang Zhenyi even wondered if he had been fooled by the heat, and was actually pretending to be cute and silly with the teacher in front of him. Although he was now a teenager, his heart was strong enough to rival this teacher. Twice
The total age in my life is almost over forty.
"At such a young age, he still knows how to be humble, so he is a good prospect. Children, you must study hard, and you must go to No. 1 Middle School to study in the future. Teacher Li will reserve a seat for you. Come to the teacher's house to play on Sundays. My home is in No. 1 Middle School.
Inside, you’ll know just by asking.”
Zhang Zhenyi has never thought that he has become a king just after being reborn. However, the kindness of the old man in front of him seems to be a bit excessive. It is a bit embarrassing to let an elementary school student who is now a junior high school student come to visit him for the first time.
Caught myself off guard.
"Well, thank you, Teacher Li. I will visit you when I have time."
In the gray age, there was no entertainment. In the previous life, there were countless online KTV hotels and cafes all over Guangming Street, but now it seems to be extremely depressed. After walking around the entire county very quickly, Zhang Zhenyi began to slow down.
I slowly walked back. At the end of summer, the sky didn't get dark very quickly. In this era without nightlife, the whole street soon fell into darkness, with the occasional light.
"Uncle, open the door! I am Shinichi and I am back!"
With a creak, the simple wooden door panel opened, revealing the tired figure of the young man. There seemed to be some tears on his face, and his eyes were slightly red. The young man knew something was wrong at first glance, and something seemed to have happened.
From the time he entered the house to the time he finished eating, took a shower and went to bed, Zhang Zhenyi did not take the initiative to ask his uncle Runping what happened, as if he had no idea. In the 1990s when there was no noise, this summer night was a bit quiet.
It was difficult for people to fall asleep, and they tossed and turned on the hard wooden bed all night long.
"Shenichi, you signed up today, can you go to school by yourself tomorrow? I have to go out to find something to do in the morning, and I had a falling out with the landlady in the afternoon. She doesn't want me to work there anymore."
It's really not a good thing.
The young man muttered to himself, but even if he thought of his plan in a flash, could it be God's will? He just met a kind of dean of academic affairs today, and soon his uncle was fired. It seems that there is still hope for his uncle Runping.
.
"Uncle, I want to tell you something, will you agree to it?"
On this night in 1990, the young man began to reveal his long-planned ambition, but the protagonist in the plan was confused and didn't know why.
"It's not a bad thing, I promise you, tell me what it is."
Liu Runping thought that his little nephew was just a child who wanted something to eat or have fun, but then he was shocked and speechless by the young and mature tone.
"I plan to let you go to the County No. 1 Middle School. As for the relationship, I just met Teacher Li from the Academic Affairs Office of the No. 1 Middle School. She should agree to help. The tuition fee is like this-"
The young man told half-truths and half-false stories about how he dug up the gold ingot, but in his mouth, he dug it accidentally, rather than a premeditated and ambitious move.
"You said - you said you picked up four gold ingots? Shinichi, you're not lying. Why didn't you tell Grandpa Nainai about such a big thing?"
When the eastern horizon began to slowly turn white and the crows of unknown roosters began to rise and fall, the two of them gradually fell asleep, with smiles on their faces.
In this exciting era, things will always be unexpected. There is always a road ahead. When a door is closed, don't be discouraged, because there is still a window open for you.
