A beautiful accident

(Small Theater) Surgery ~ month

The time for high school registration has passed, right? Tang Ke should have given everything to Lin Lei. Doesn't he know I'm back at my hometown hospital for surgery? A lot of my classmates have been asking about me these past few days, but why hasn't he given me any news?

Qi Yue stared at the screen of her mobile phone again and again, wondering if the phone was broken.

Perhaps, after not seeing each other for a holiday, some things have been forgotten. Classmate Lin Lei, I am very angry now. According to convention, you should have come to comfort me a long time ago.

Really, this time, it's different. This time I'm going to go to school in the city. As long as you ask me, I won't be angry. Can we agree on a three-year period?

~~~

If life were always smooth sailing, wouldn't it be too dull? Life, after all, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If it's not full of excitement, wastefulness, surprises, and unforgettable moments, then it's not really life, is it?

When she first started working, Qiyue was considered an outlier because she was too obsessed with perfection and worked very rigorously and seriously. After other teachers finished painting the murals and left work early, Qiyue was still working on it, meticulously carving every stroke.

Teacher 1: "Qiyue, that's enough. You don't have to paint so carefully. The wall will be stained after a few days."

"It's okay, I only have a little left to finish the painting, you guys can go first."

Teacher 2: "Qiyue, I'm not saying that even though your painting is so good, I won't give you any extra salary. Is this enough?"

"There's not much left. Let's finish it, or it'll be a waste if the paint dries up."

Teacher: 3: "Then we have to leave first. You should hurry up, or there will be no bus."

"Okay, don't worry. Mr. Market and I will lock the door together later."

Maybe Qi Yue was born with no luck with women and had very few female friends. Or maybe Qi Yue was really unpopular and she had realized it since junior high school.

I remember my junior high school teacher once said, "Qiyue! You're destined to be a woman for the rest of your life."

At that time, Qi Yue didn’t know what this sentence meant, but later on, she became very familiar with it.

In junior high, a girl who liked a boy who liked Qiyue wrote a letter to her homeroom teacher, reporting her for abusing her power to give extra points to a classmate close to Qiyue, who would be named the outstanding student of the class at the end of the year. Well, Qiyue did make this mistake at the time, but it wasn't as serious as she claimed. Who hasn't done something silly, naive, and unruly in junior high? For example, because Qiyue was a good painter, she entered her close classmates into the school's painting competition, writing their names on theirs to receive certificates. Qiyue believed that as long as she drew her own paintings, she would definitely win the certificates. In the end, she did get them. At that time, Qiyue was truly sunny and confident.

At that time, Qiyue never imagined that she would still be confident after several years, but she would no longer be in the sunshine. When there was no sunshine, she would face the light rain that never stopped, drizzling day after day, as if it would never stop.

As for the ending of the painting competition story, it was unexpected, and Qiyue still remembers this sentence to this day.

"So what if I got the certificate? It wasn't me who drew it."

Qi Yue was really angry when she heard that. Her good intentions were not understood, and her efforts were in vain. It was unnecessary. Later, seeing too many people abusing the rules of the game, she suddenly realized that this sentence, said at their age, was a very philosophical sentence. Yes, without your own efforts, even if you get it, it is not real. You can use this kind of cleverness, and others will use it too. You are really nothing great. You think you are helping others, but in fact you are the clown. Many years later, will similar things come back to you?

This simple yet philosophical statement comes from Lin Lei. You see, the bad students are not really bad students. On the contrary, from a certain perspective, he sees things more clearly than we do. If the bad students turn over a new leaf and work hard to improve themselves, what will happen to us, the so-called top students?

It was another working day. Qiyue arrived at the campus early. After greeting the teachers, she went into the classroom, tidied the classroom, and then began to make courseware, organize teaching supplies, and send parents the children's performance in yesterday's class. These processes were familiar to her. As a teacher who has been working for half a year, she has already memorized these links. The only difference is that Qiyue is still serious, but in her spare time, she doesn't like to laugh anymore, and doesn't want to say useless words to anyone other than the children.

There was a knock on the door, and marketing teacher Li Qiao said, "Good morning, Teacher Qiyue."

"Good morning."

"Teacher Qiyue, do you think this flower is beautiful? I'll give it to you."

"No, Teacher Li, I'm not very good at taking care of flowers. It would be terrible if I killed them. You should just take them away."

"What are you afraid of? I'll finish my promotion this morning, come back and open the campus door, and water the flowers. Don't worry."

"I'd rather not. How can I take your things for free?"

"What's the big deal? My few disobedient children are still in your class. Look how well you take care of them. The ones who are quiet, naughty, can't sit still, always crying and can't leave their parents, I am the one who has caused you trouble."

"No, you're responsible for recruiting students, and we're responsible for retaining them. This is within our respective responsibilities."

"Don't be so polite, Teacher Qiyue. If Mark and Mali are really disobedient and always disrupt class discipline, just ask them to quit. It's okay. Losing a commission won't be a big deal. I heard they disrupted your open class, affected other students, and even cut your skirt. Don't worry, I'll buy you another one."

"It's okay. If a child obeys us in everything, he's no longer a child. It's just a skirt, don't take it seriously."

"Then you should accept this pot of flowers, or I will take you to buy a skirt."

"Well, don't worry about it. I'll think of a way. Oh, and thank you for the flowers."

When Li Qiao turned around to leave, he turned back to Qiyue and said, "Teacher Qiyue, this is a gardenia."

Qi Yue stared at the pot of flowers with white buds. It turned out to be a gardenia, so she began to concentrate on finishing the work at hand.

In the campus office, the campus principal and the campus teaching director were discussing campus issues.

"Teacher Honghong, I'm telling you, you must help Teacher Qiyue resolve this matter. After all, you are the school's teaching supervisor."

"Principal, you know that even their parents couldn't stop those two brothers. Besides, their parents didn't expect their children to learn anything. They just wanted them to stay seated and stay in the classroom during class."

"But, those two brothers influenced the other kids in the class and cut the teacher's skirt with scissors. What if they hurt other kids with the scissors?"

"Then let's assign Teacher Qiyue a few more teaching assistants."

"One class, six children, one main teacher, two assistants, and another teacher. Not to mention the campus is understaffed, do we really need that many adults standing in one classroom? Teacher Honghong, since you're the head of teaching, if you won't help solve Teacher Qiyue's problem, then you should take over this class."

"Principal, besides the Ma brothers, there's also Peng Peng, whom you know. He cried and made a fuss when he first arrived. But Teacher Qiyue took care of him for two months. She held him when he wasn't obedient, and she slowly got into his heart. He's a child that no one but Qiyue would recognize."

"I know, but I still say that if it can't be solved, you take over."

"Principal, I can only say that I will try my best." Teacher Honghong looked embarrassed.

The principal came to Teacher Qiyue's classroom and said, "Teacher Qiyue, don't worry. I've already told Teacher Honghong to help you deal with this problem. I'll also be in the classroom next time you have class, so don't worry."

After a class of hard work, the principal had a long conversation with the mother of the Ma brothers after class. The result was predictable. The Ma brothers applied for withdrawal from school. This was the first withdrawal application in the history of the four campuses where Qiyue and her classmates were studying. Even Qiyue did not expect that it came from her own hands, but it was not her own work.

In this class, the Ma brothers performed classic programs such as monkeys climbing trees, crawling forward, long-range shooting, and roaring loudly.

After class, the principal said that if he had another class, he would be driven crazy, but Qiyue persisted for two months.

Qiyue thought he could hold on a little longer, but later discovered that if persistence yields no results, giving up can sometimes be a relief. Well, this was the first of only two times Qiyue dropped out. Another reason was that his home was simply too far away. If the Fourth Campus was on the east side of the city, his home was on the west side, and the drive to and from campus was a long one, so he had no choice but to drop out.

"I'm sorry, children, I didn't make you feel happy in my class, but instead caused you some troubles. At such a young age, do you really know what troubles are? Perhaps you will forget me when you grow up, or perhaps you will still remember me. But I am very happy to have accompanied you for a long time during your growing years. I hope you grow up healthy and safe."

The gardenia on the windowsill has never been watered in Qi Yue, but it bloomed. I guess someone must have taken good care of it, which is why it bloomed so beautifully.

My father called me on video after get off work.

"How are you, Yueyue? Are you still getting used to it? Is it much better than before?"

"Of course, don't you see who I am? I am Lan Qiyue, the one and only Qiyue teacher in the world."

"I don't know who it was, but someone cut her skirt." Mother Lan said this while she could.

"Oh, Mom, wasn't that a beautiful accident?"

"Yes, it was a beautiful accident. There will never be another accident like this. In this vast sea of ​​people, we will never meet again."

The gardenias on the classroom windowsill are blooming again.

I only found out about it later in July.

The flower language of gardenia is "eternal love, a lifetime of waiting."
