September 9, Monday, sunny.
Early in the morning, the sunlight shone on the flowers in Yunshu's vase.
Xiaoqi has been practicing calligraphy for an hour.
I talked to my mom on the phone yesterday. Xiaoqi seems to have endless energy. He wants to study hard and graduate and get a job right away so that his parents can rest assured. Of course, this is impossible, so he can only work harder.
On the first day of school, Xiaoqi was dressed very neatly, wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, which she also bought on Saturday. It was a very simple outfit and super cheap. The jeans and white T-shirt together cost only 60 yuan. Meng City is indeed a big city. Things are not only cheap but also of good quality. These pants were worn for a long time in the hands of Mier, a classmate who owns a garment factory at home. She picked out various thread ends and tore them apart for a long time. Xiaoqi also pulled them hard, but there was no problem with the pants. The buttons were sewn firmly and were elastic. The white T-shirt was also thick, not the thin and cool kind, and it was quite stylish. Anyway, Xiaoqi felt very comfortable and simple in this outfit. She matched it with sneakers and a backpack. Because her hair had grown a little longer, she tied the messy hair in front into a small bun with colorful rubber bands. This was the most eye-catching color on her.
The watch is a sporty Casio, very lively.
The backpack is very old and made of denim, but it still looks good considering the retro style is popular nowadays.
Xiaoqi tidied up very neatly. Ever since she had the system, she has been more efficient in doing things. She used to be forgetful, but now she has unconsciously corrected this habit.
But Chen Mier in the dormitory couldn't take it anymore. She started screaming early in the morning.
Because her alarm clock had rang three times but failed to wake her up, she was in a panic when she got up. She wanted to put on makeup, but it was obviously too late. Moreover, she had eaten barbecue last night, and the seasoning was probably too strong and salty. She kept getting up to drink boiled water last night, and her eyelids were swollen today.
Gu Yunshu and Wei Cheng were both dressed and ready. Gu Yunshu was slow and in no hurry, so he continued reading his novel.
Wei Cheng flipped through the book nervously. It was her first day of class and she was a little excited.
After Chen Mier had taken care of herself, the group went out together.
When I was going out, I happened to meet three people from the dormitory opposite. I don’t know why Chu Yu, who had a bad face yesterday, was following Su Li with a smile on his face today. It seemed that they had a good relationship. However, Lin Dongqing was walking alone behind me.
They were all from the dormitory opposite each other, and they were not very familiar with each other, but they were close enough. They just nodded and said hello, and then Chen Mier hurriedly pulled everyone away. She was the one who got up the latest and was also the most anxious.
Xiao Qi was pulled away by Chen Mier. When they were holding hands, she saw Wei Cheng also holding Gu Yunshu's arm. She thought that it was a good thing that there were four people in their dormitory, two by two. If there was an odd number, one would always be left behind. She always felt that girls actually need companions, and they would feel a little lonely if they were alone.
Maybe I haven't learned to be alone yet.
I finished my breakfast in a hurry and packed up the noodle soup.
Xiaoqi found that the noodle soup was especially delicious when served in a milk tea cup and drunk with a thick straw, and it had a unique flavor.
I arrived at the classroom and luckily I was not late.
Everyone sat in their own seats. During the self-study last night, the two boys sitting in front of Xiaoqi did not show up, but the two boys sitting behind him did come, but left early.
Xiaoqi didn't talk to them either. She just put on her headphones and studied. She didn't like to socialize actively.
Moreover, because of the incident with her senior high school classmate Liu Shaowei, Xiao Qi was actually a little resistant to boys and naturally felt that they should not be too close. At that time, she and Liu Shaowei often sat together during evening self-study. Later, it became like that. Rumors spread and everyone said that they were together. Liu Shaowei did not deny it and often brought her some food. She also felt sweetly that they were together. In fact, it was just the ambiguity between a boy and a girl, which could not withstand being said openly.
Xiao Qi was shocked when she suddenly thought of Liu Shaowei. Now she felt weird about boys whose names contained the word "Wei". She declined the offer.
But my deskmate Mi'er's personality is obviously different. She is very lively and outgoing. After sitting down, she can't calm down. After chatting with the person at the table in front of her, she turns around and chats with the person at the table behind her.
Xiaoqi also got to know them, because if nothing unexpected happened, they would be sitting at the desks in front and behind each other for the next four years.
The students at the front and back tables are all boys.
One of the two boys at the front table is actually a fellow villager of Mier. They are both from Qinjiang Province, but from different cities. However, since they came to Meng City together, they can be considered fellow villagers.
The other one is from this province. His hometown is very close to Meng City. It is said that it only takes one and a half hours to get there by high-speed rail. He is very talkative and looks mature.
There were two boys sitting at the back table. One was from Fucheng and was thin. The other was also from Mengshi. He had big eyes like grapes and was smiling. He seemed to have a good personality.
After the socializing at the tables in front and behind us, the bell rang and the teacher came in right on time.
He was a middle-aged man wearing leather shoes, trousers and a blue shirt. He was very tall and looked very serious.
I would like to introduce myself as Wei.
Then he started the lecture without saying much. However, academic English reading and writing are inherently boring, and the teacher's teaching method is not interesting either. It feels like reading from a lesson plan. The classroom was quite quiet at first, but gradually there was a buzzing sound, and then the buzzing sound became louder and louder.
The teacher didn't care and just continued teaching. The teacher had a microphone and his voice could drown out everyone else's.
Xiaoqi did some preparation, even twice, and then listened to the teacher's lecture. Although it was boring, he still gained something. The teacher's spoken English was average, but he paid close attention to grammar. This is the common way of learning English in China. However, academic English is mostly expressed in text form, which is very different from daily English. Xiaoqi tried to listen carefully.
Fortunately, although Chen Mi'er was lively, she listened attentively in class and didn't talk. However, when the get out of class was about to end, Xiao Qi discovered that she was supporting her chin with her arm, swaying, and actually fell asleep...
During the ten-minute break, the classroom became even more lively, with people going to the bathroom or strolling around.
The more mature boy sitting in front of her immediately ran to the back, probably because his roommate was behind him.
Xiaoqi and his four roommates also went to the restroom together. There was a short queue in the women's restroom.
When I came back, I sat down and the class started again.
As a result, as soon as the class started, the teacher actually started calling the roll.
Maybe it was the first day of class, the classmates still gave him face. After all, they didn’t know the teacher’s personality well. I heard that if you fail more than three courses at Enhua and fail the make-up exam once, you will be asked to drop out.
Moreover, when university teachers teach, they not only look at test scores, but also regular credit scores, so taking attendance is also very important.
It became much quieter when the roll call started.
Teacher Wei read out the names on the roll call list one by one.
"Su Xiaoqi."
"arrive."
Xiaoqi raised her hand and saw the teacher nodded at her.
Xiao Qi smiled.
Xiaoqi, who has been a teacher, knows that as a teacher, it is actually very easy to see whether students are serious and listening attentively. When the teacher nods at him, it probably means encouragement.
After all, she had listened carefully to the class just now, and she also took notes when the teacher talked about important knowledge points.
However, when the English teacher called Su Xiaoqi, Li Weijin, who was sitting in the last row and seemed to be sleeping, finally looked up.
Beyond the sea of heads, one could only see a slender white arm raised.
Li Weijin was going to take the IELTS, but he really didn't like English, especially what the teacher taught today, which was so boring that it was like a lullaby.
By the time the roll call was over, more than ten minutes had passed in the class. Teacher Wei continued to lecture, and the students in the class wailed. It was obvious that they had discovered through the class time that this English teacher had a good temper and would not care if the students were noisy.
The teacher continued to lecture, drinking the water from the thermos he brought twice. He basically ignored the students' noise, as if immersed in his own world.
Xiaoqi discovered that although the teacher only read the lesson plan, his lesson plan was very detailed. Only after she previewed it did she feel that the teacher had explained many knowledge points one by one without any omissions.
When the get out of class was over, Teacher Wei stood up and said, "If you need a lesson plan, you can come to me directly."
Xiaoqi thought the teacher's lesson plan was very good, but she basically listened and took notes in class, so she didn't need it. However, Chu Yu, who lived in the dormitory opposite her and was said to be in poor health, went up to the teacher and asked for a copy of the lesson plan. Like a serious and good student, he even followed the teacher out.
Smiling, very sweet and sunny.
If you hadn't seen her with a gloomy face in the dormitory, you would have thought she was a very sunny person.
In the middle of the class, their head teacher came in again and informed them that there would be a class meeting after evening self-study and that class committee members had to be elected, and no one was allowed to be absent.
The next class is Management Information Systems, and there will be a longer break.
By the time class was almost starting, Xiao Qi had already received some new gossip from Mi Er.
"Our English teacher, Ms. Wei, isn't actually a teacher at our school. She's hired from outside, essentially a part-time job. Our school must be paying her well, but Ms. Wei is actually from Qingmeng University. A teacher from Qingmeng University actually teaches us. But the lessons are so academic and boring that I almost fell asleep during class and fell asleep three times."
Xiao Qi: ...
