Chapter 109 The Old Man with the Scent of Green Tea
When one person joins the army, not only is their whole family honored, but the entire village is honored!
On Monday, the day Gu Yin had class, the village chief hosted a banquet for Li Dalong and Li Xiaoming to join the army. It was said to be very lively, with gongs and drums, lion and dragon dances that lasted until evening.
On the day the two left, the sounds of drums and gongs echoed from the village to the streets. Gu Yin could hear them even sitting in the classroom, but she didn't go to see them off. She didn't like farewells; she preferred encounters or returns. Young people are full of passion and should protect their country.
We parted in the sweltering summer and met again in the depths of winter. May we both become the people we aspire to be when we meet again!
This National Day, Huang Ting canceled the quota for the ninth graders to participate in the arts competition, arguing that it was a waste of time. She said they could just sit in the audience and watch the performances, while the preparation for the programs and the competition would be left to the first and second graders.
The two experimental classes had no objections, since they didn't like going on stage anyway. However, the students in the regular classes were unhappy. Even after their protests, they couldn't change the principal's decision. As a result, Huang Ting's tires were deflated again, and the body of her bicycle was even scratched. For a while, Gu Yin saw her riding a bicycle to school.
After the National Day holiday, the whole school once again ushered in the midterm exams.
By this time, Gu Yin had already finished reading and thoroughly understood the textbooks for the third year of junior high school, and she had even gone through the knowledge for the first year of senior high school.
The exam lasted three days, and it was the weekend after it ended, so Gu Yin wasn't in a hurry to go back. She took out the test papers that Gu Shu had brought back and started doing practice questions.
Gu Hua also took out the junior high school exam papers that Gu Yin had prepared for her and started working on them.
After finishing one question, Gu Yin checked the time and saw it was almost 5:30. Seeing that Gu Hua only had a few more questions to finish, Gu Yin got up and said, "I'm going to the restroom. We'll go home when I come back."
Gu Hua nodded: "Go ahead."
Gu Yin left the classroom. At this time, there were hardly any people on campus, and it was very quiet. She walked to the corner on the second floor and saw the Chinese teacher, Wen Tianming, chatting with a female student from Class 2.
Gu Yin stopped naturally when she saw someone. Just as she was about to continue downstairs, she saw Wen Tianming hand a piece of paper covered with writing to the girl.
"I didn't know you had such feelings for me. I'm your teacher, so many years older than you, and I'm married. You're so young, you don't understand matters of the heart. Don't go astray. Just pretend I didn't see this letter. Take it back. Don't tell anyone about this when you get back. I'm afraid they'll hurt you, and you'll be doomed."
The girl lowered her head and choked up, saying, "The teacher always looks at me in class, and when we meet on the street, he talks to me about history, the Book of Songs, Dream of the Red Chamber, and the future. My English is not good, but the teacher, who is a Chinese teacher, always gives me English materials to help me. Even when I quarrel with my family, the teacher can tell immediately and comfort me. I don't believe that the teacher is just an ordinary teacher and student to me!"
Wen Tianming looked away without speaking. The girl, not getting an answer, reached out and tugged at the corner of his perfectly pressed white shirt.
Wen Tianming sighed helplessly, "I was born before you were born, and you were born after I was old! Go back, it's going to rain soon. Study hard, get into university, and you'll meet better people in the future. Go, I'll watch you go."
Gu Yin: "..." Gu Yin looked around and didn't see any brooms or anything, otherwise she would have smashed his head with a knife!
What kind of talk is this? What does that reluctant tone mean? Is this genuine agreement or a feigned rejection? This old man is so horny!
The woman became increasingly heartbroken and ran downstairs crying.
After the girl had walked away, Gu Yin stomped down the stairs.
Wen Tianming was watching the girl walk away when he heard a voice behind him. He froze, slowly turned around, and saw Gu Yin. He pursed his lips and smiled, "Why aren't you home yet, so late?"
Gu Yin smiled and said, "We were about to leave, but the teacher hasn't come back yet?"
Wen Tianming looked closely at her eyes, but he couldn't see anything in those deep black eyes. He smiled and said, "I left something in Class Two and came back to get it."
Gu Yin nodded: "Then teacher, go ahead and get busy. It's about to rain."
Wen Tianming froze: "You heard that?"
Gu Yin stopped five steps away from him and said with a smile, "I heard that you graduated from a vocational school and are still able to continue teaching because of the principal's help? Is that right or not?"
Wen Tianming didn't understand what she was trying to say, but he still nodded: "That's right."
