Today is Xie Yan's first day of school. Although it's supposed to be nine o'clock, Xie Yan got up at eight o'clock. As always, he was the only one left at home. Yu Yue went to work early!
She and Xie Yan, that lazybones, are like two extremes!
One is too lazy to even cook! The other is incredibly diligent.
Isn't this a perfect match in another sense?
After tidying up and having breakfast at 8:30, Xie Yan went straight to school. After all, it was her first day at work, so she needed to take it seriously.
He thought he had arrived early enough, but Liu Yihong was even earlier. Not only had she cleaned the office, but she was already chatting with the other children who had arrived early in the classroom.
Xie Yan sighed helplessly. Why make things difficult for one's own people?
Don't you even look at the time? It's 8:45, there are still 15 minutes before class starts!
They've already done so much work.
Isn't it nice to sleep in a little longer in the morning?
Why did we have to come so early?
What are we doing? We're creating internal competition!
He hates people who engage in cutthroat competition the most!
In that instant, Liu Yihong's appearance changed in his eyes.
Perhaps sensing the unfriendly gaze, Liu Yihong saw Xie Yan standing by the window and gave him a sweet smile.
Yes, it's sweet!
Xie Yan felt a chill run down his spine. What was this all about? What ulterior motive did they have for him?
Why are you smiling at him like that?! There's something fishy going on! There's definitely something fishy going on!
I've never seen you smile like that before! Where's your signature warm smile?
Liu Yihong stood up and said, "Classmates, our Chinese teacher is here too! Let's give her a big round of applause!" The students who had already arrived started clapping enthusiastically upon hearing Liu Yihong's words.
No one noticed that Xie Yan's expression was off!
Because this is the first enrollment in many years, although everyone is in the first grade, their ages are quite different, with some already being eleven or twelve-year-old boys.
Although they were old and could earn work points, their family had a long-term vision and felt that the child should still learn to read, so they sent him in.
There were also seven or eight-year-olds, and their ages varied.
But everyone who looked at Xie Yan had a genuine smile on their face. This kind of smile was contagious, and Xie Yan unconsciously smiled along with them.
Xie Yan went in and greeted them, "You can continue chatting. It's not time for class yet, so everyone relax and don't rush."
Seeing the child who had just run over and was now hesitantly standing at the door, he smiled and said, "Come in! Don't worry, you're not late!"
"Today is the first day of class, and everyone is very excited. It's inevitable that some people will arrive a little early, or that they were too excited to sleep last night and thus woke up late today. It's all okay."
"As long as we are punctual from tomorrow onwards and arrive at the classroom before nine o'clock, it's fine."
"Alright, you guys keep getting familiar with things, we won't bother you any longer. See you in class later." With that, he left the classroom.
Liu Yihong followed behind, smiling, and said, "Your eloquence is quite impressive! I was saying before that you weren't good at speaking and I was worried you wouldn't be able to teach Chinese well, but I think you're quite good!"
Xie Yan sighed, "There's nothing I can do. I'm paid by the emperor and I have to do his bidding. Since I've been assigned to teach, I have to prepare in private."
Liu Yihong patted Xie Yan's arm, "That's right, from now on we'll keep an eye on each other and teach well!"
"Let's go! Let's go to the office and take a look."
Xie Yan nodded and said, "Okay!"
The two turned and went to the office. The office was actually very simple; it was just a room separated between the first and second year students.
There is a walkway in the middle, with a desk and a matching stool on each side.
Xie Yan had already been there before, so he went straight to his desk and sat down. "Wow, Professor Liu, your office is spotless!"
Liu Yihong smiled gently, "Teacher Xie, you're not bad either! I heard you usually can't get up in the morning, but you came so early today!"
Xie Yan blushed. Who was it?
Who spread the rumor?
Who said he couldn't get up? He doesn't! He just sleeps in occasionally, how did that become him being unable to get up in the morning? "Oh, no, I usually get up very early. You've lived with me before, and I didn't get up that day. Isn't that nonsense?"
"Where did you hear this rumor?"
Liu Yihong burst into laughter, "Really? Are you sure?"
Xie Yan replied decisively, "Of course!"
Liu Yihong said with a malicious look, "But I heard Gu Bin say that every time he went to your house to pick cucumbers, you were still asleep!"
He lowered his voice again and said, "Tell your brother, are you a little nervous?"
Xie Yan pointed at Liu Yihong, exasperated, and said, "You...you, what nonsense are you spouting? How can you, as a teacher, say such things? What if you corrupt the children?"
In his mind, he had already dug out the villain named Gu Bin and kicked him into the sky. "Damn it, that Gu Bin is just jealous of him, that's why he spreads rumors about him everywhere. He deserves to fail the teacher's exam and is destined to be a laborer!"
"I curse him to never have toilet paper again, never have any seasoning packets, and never have a son..." Xie Yan was happy just thinking about having a bunch of kids following Gu Bin around, asking him for money.
snort!
"I won't give him a single cucumber from our own garden anymore. Even if we can't finish them, we'll feed them to the dog. He doesn't deserve any of them!"
"No way!" Xie Yan was still furious after scolding him and wanted to beat up Gu Bin, but the problem was that he couldn't beat him. After all, Gu Bin was a kid who grew up in a military compound and he was quite capable.
But it doesn't matter, he'll tell his wife when he gets back, and see if Yu Yue will slap him to death!
Liu Yihong realized his words were inappropriate and quickly apologized, "Yes, yes, yes! Teacher Xie is right, I misspoke."
It seems that environment really does have an impact on people. He would never have said such nonsense before. After spending so much time with the men in the village, he has unknowingly picked up their habits.
It seems I must be more careful about my words and actions in the future. Now that I am a teacher, I cannot set a bad example for the children.
Zheng Zhen sincerely said to Xie Yan, "From now on, we're partners. Please keep an eye on me! If I make any mistakes, just point them out. If there's anything you've done poorly, I won't hesitate to point it out."
Although Xie Yan was usually incredibly lazy, he wouldn't do anything to mislead others, so he nodded and said, "Then we won't supervise each other!"
Liu Yihong smiled and said, "Sure! Shall we shake hands?"
Xie Yan slapped his hand away, "Get lost! Don't think I didn't see you smirking! If this weren't inappropriate, would you apologize?"
Liu Yihong politely patted his hand, "Oops! You caught me! I'll be more careful next time! I'll try not to let you find out."
Xie Yan glared at him, then couldn't help but laugh again.
That's great! Actually, he was quite happy for Liu Yihong, since Liu had taken good care of him when they were at the educated youth settlement.
