Chapter 137: Mother Chu's Doubts(1/2)

Although Chu Zuosheng almost didn't fall asleep all night and he only sniffed for a while when it was dawn, in front of his wife Zhou Xiaoxiang, he still pretended that he had a good rest last night and even held it in his stomach if he yawned.

Chu Zuosheng tried his best not to let his wife see anything unusual, and he didn't notice that something was wrong with his wife... When he arrived at the unit, Chu Zuosheng became the focus of everyone's attention for the first time. From the beginning of entering the unit gate, people kept saying hello to him.

"Hi, Lao Chu!"

"Good morning, Lao Chu!"

"How did you sleep yesterday, Lao Chu?"

... Chu Zuosheng had never enjoyed such intensive greetings before. Even when he arrived in the department, someone enthusiastically greeted Chu Zuosheng with a freshly released "Chengdu Business Daily": "Old Chu, your son is hard (sound: eng)!"

The newspaper was indeed fast, and the photos of the competition in the early morning were published. He saw a large photo of his son at a glance, which was still in color.

"Haha..." He laughed, not knowing how to answer.

"Get glory for the country, bring glory for the country!" An old man wearing thick bottle-bottomed glasses in the department also stood up with a teacup. Chu Zuosheng knew this old man, and he didn't care about football at all. His hobby was playing chess... Unexpectedly, he was paying attention to his son.

"Hehe, Old Chu! I watched the game last night! Did you watch it too?" The youngest young Chen in the department is thirty-two. He and Chu Zuosheng are the only two football fans in the office. As soon as he came in, he saw Chu Zuosheng and shouted loudly.

"Excellent, very exciting!" After receiving Chu Zuosheng's affirmative answer, he gave a thumbs up. "Those two balls are really worth the ticket! Your son is amazing, Old Chu!"

During the next working hours, people from other departments came to visit each other from time to time. As soon as they entered the door, they pulled Chu Zuosheng to talk about the game that ended in the early morning. Everyone was chatting with each other and they were in high spirits.

This frequent density made Chu Zuosheng not finish reading the newspaper on the table until after get off work at noon. The genuine articles on it were all about his son, from the perspective of reporters to the perspective of fans, from documentary style to sensational style, everything... Unfortunately, he got off work before he even finished reading the first documentary report.

※※※The same person as Chu Zuosheng is still Zhou Xiaoxiang.

After she arrived at school, she would always meet many people greet her with a smile, which made her feel very surprised and confused. Although everyone would say hello in the past, there were not as many people today... There were even students who were not in her class who took the initiative to say hello after seeing her: "Hello Teacher Zhou!"

She replied with confusion, but she didn't understand why the students were so enthusiastic about her? Are the students nowadays so respectful to their teachers? It is impossible that these sixteen and seventeen-year-old students do not take the teacher seriously at all... She, the head teacher, has some prestige when handling the matter himself. When going to other classes, many students do whatever they should do, completely treating her like air.

Even when she walked into the class to prepare for class, she could still experience the changes of the students.

She is a very strict teacher and is serious in front of students. So the students in her class are usually a little afraid of her.

During class, she just glared at her, and the group of students below didn't even dare to look at her. Even the rude students had to restrain themselves in front of her.

But today the situation changed, and she could feel that many students were looking at her curiously, with less fear in their eyes and more... What should I say? Joyful? Kind?

It seems that it is not right to use it in kind... Well, anyway, her students are not as afraid of her as before, at least their performance seems to be like this.

She finished a class with doubts and asked the student before get out of class: "Which one has any questions? If you don't understand, you can raise it."

The big students walking in the last row raised their hands.

Zhou Xiaoxiang frowned. She knew about this student. She didn't work hard in her studies, so why did she be so active today?

No matter how suspicious she is, she is a teacher, and the teacher has to solve the students' doubts, no matter how the student usually performs.

"Zhu Tai, what's your problem?" Zhou Xiaoxiang held up his glasses.

"Teacher Zhou, that..." Zhu Tai stood up about 1.85 meters tall. As a student from Sichuan, he is indeed not short. "I want to ask Teacher Zhou, is Chu Zhongtian in the competition last night your son?"

Someone in the class suddenly burst into laughter.

Zhou Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that the student was asking this question as he stood up.

Based on her previous temper, she probably scolded her directly and then stood until the end of get out of class.

But when Zhu Tai asked this question today, what happened in Zhou Xiaoxiang's mind was the scenes of hiding behind the door in the middle of the night last night.

Some people are laughing, while more people are worried that Zhu Tai will be scolded by the class teacher... After all, they call Zhou Xiaoxiang the "Witch Old Class" privately.

Unexpectedly, today's "Witch Old Class" just said: "I haven't talked about this question before. Remember to ask me what I've talked about next time."

Then he waved his hand and let Zhu Tai sit down.

Next, Zhou Xiaoxiang had no intention of continuing to answer the students' questions, so she simply walked around and walked out of the classroom.

"Your baby must do it!" As soon as she left, the male classmates in the classroom all gave Zhu Tai a thumbs up.

"Hehe!" Zhu Tai raised his chest proudly.

"But I heard that Chu Zhongtian is really the son of the witch's old classmate..."

"I forgot who heard it, it's true!"

"This is so destined to be... Our class teacher turned out to be Chu Zhongtian's mother!"

"Do you think we have the hope of getting Chu Zhongtian's signature?"

"Who knows? You can try it out!"

...In fact, before Zhou Xiaoxiang walked far away, she stood outside the classroom, passing through a wall, listening to all the buzzing discussions of the students inside.

When the students called her "Witch's Old Class" privately, she didn't feel offended at all because she had known this nickname for a long time. At first, she was a little angry, but now it's been so long since she's been out of sight - she can't order everyone not to call that, right? That can only be counterproductive.

What she cared about was not the nickname given to her by the students, but the content they were talking about. It seemed that her son was quite famous among these students... Her son actually played on the live TV broadcast while playing, and became the idol of the students in her class... She had never cared about what her students like before. She thought it was enough to teach the class well, and the admission rate was the first.

She has a generation gap with her students, and she seems to have a generation gap with her son... During the break, the students are doing exercises in the playground, and the head teachers of each class come together to chat. Basically, they are all parents, Li family members, or students in whose class are in trouble, and which teacher has a different relationship with the director... But today is different.

After Zhou Xiaoxiang supervised the students in her class for a while, she went to a place where colleagues gathered and prepared to talk to them.

Her appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Xiaoxiang, Xiaoxiang..." Seeing her coming, a teacher greeted enthusiastically. "Do your son really play football in the UK?"

Zhou Xiaoxiang didn't expect that not only the students discussed this issue, but also the teachers were talking about it. She didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Why haven't you heard you talk about it before?"

"Uh...ha, I just knew..." Zhou Xiaoxiang replied awkwardly.

"I heard the students in our class talking about Chu Zhongtian and Chu Zhongtian today. I felt familiar at first, but later after class, I realized that it wasn't your son?"

Zhou Xiaoxiang became the focus of the teacher. Not only was the female teacher surrounding her and asking about her son's situation, but the male teachers also came over.

Many of these people don’t care about football at all. Their understanding of football may be limited to seeing students chasing a ball on the court. They don’t know any rules, history, and interesting news. Now they are very interested in talking about football, the game in the early morning, and the outstanding performance of her son Chu Zhongtian.

"Your son is promising!"

"Look at it, I've said that Xiaoxiang's son is amazing and he will definitely have a great future!"

"On TV! I heard that it is still broadcast live to the whole of the UK..."

"What, it's a global live broadcast..."

"My husband and son stayed up late to watch the football yesterday... It's so strange. My husband didn't even talk about his son, and he watched the football with him..."

"This is the charm of football, haha! Teacher Li, you didn't realize that your man and son are also fans!"

Listening to these enthusiastic and envious words, she was a little overwhelmed.

What's wrong with this?

When my son came back to high school halfway through, what did the teachers in this school say in private?

"I have been playing football for ten years before I came to high school. I still want to go to college? Dream..."

"Take a college entrance examination? Just get a high school diploma..."

"The academic performance is not very outstanding..."

"Look at Xiaoxiang's son, so don't send him to play football if you have a child. It's a waste of ten years..."

Did I change, or did they change? Or... is the world changed?

※※※It was time for get off work in the evening, and the couple returned home one after another. Chu Zuosheng looked bright and his face seemed to have been notified of a promotion. His wife Zhou Xiaoxiang was full of worries.

Chu Zuosheng showed off his limelight in his unit. Even the leader knew that his son had played in the UK game, scoring two goals, winning glory for the country.

Zhou Xiaoxiang was distressed, worried about everything she saw and heard today. To be honest, even if she didn't understand football, even if she watched yesterday's game, she could not understand why everyone was so enthusiastic.

Is playing football really that amazing?

So my son has been playing for ten years, but he hasn't seen anyone around him say anything good.

Maybe you should ask your husband?

"Well, Lao Chu..." During dinner, Zhou Xiaoxiang had just picked up the bowl and put it down, looking at her husband who was drinking the soup with great worries.

"Ah? What's the matter?" Hearing his wife's name, Chu Zuosheng quickly put down the bowl in his hand and made a statement of washing his eyes.

Their family name is very particular, and different names often imply different meanings. For example, when your wife calls him "Uncle Chu", it is a joke in a good mood, and sometimes it is a little helpless. At this time, Chu Zuosheng can also make jokes about his wife, calling him a bit of a stingy "Xiangxiang'er" or "Teacher Zhou". If your wife calls him "Chu Zuosheng", he must be very angry. At this time, he has to lower his head and behave with his tail between his tail and serve him carefully. He must not further intensify the conflict. When his wife calls him "Old Chu", he usually has to discuss what matters, and this matter is very important. He must listen carefully and not be impatient or careless, otherwise his wife's name to him will be upgraded to "Chu Zuosheng".

"I heard a lot of talk about our son at school today..."

Chu Zuosheng immediately entered a state of tension. Of course he knew what those discussions were, but if his wife was annoyed by others outside, she might be angry with herself when she went home... "Is our son very famous now?" She did not get angry, but asked a question.

Chu Zuosheng breathed a little relieved. He thought about the words and tone in his heart, and then he carefully showed a little happiness: "Yes, it's very famous now. Are you reading newspapers? Newspapers of all sizes in Chengdu - Business Daily, Evening News, Metropolitan Daily... have all been reported. Today, the reporter Gao called me and said that our son was reported all over the country! There were fans online who built a personal website for him to pay attention to his life in the UK, studying and playing football."

He still couldn't help but feel proud.

Then he looked at his wife carefully. Seeing that his wife did not show any impatience, he continued: "I also heard that CCTV is interested in my son..."

"Ah?" This surprised Zhou Xiaoxiang. Then she asked reflexively: "Can he still go to school?"

This problem suddenly vanished Chu Zuosheng's previous pride. He realized that he was not facing the fans and colleagues in the office, but his wife who had always been firmly opposed to his son's football game... He didn't say anything anymore.

※※ Coach Eames said before that after skipping class training, it will be over.

But Chu Zhongtian struggled for a long time, just to continue skipping classes and playing football.

His two personalities turned into their own mother and father, and they had a big fight over this matter.
To be continued...
