Chapter 17 Professor Liu vs. the Child
In the university advanced mathematics class, Professor Liu was lecturing enthusiastically.
But the classroom atmosphere was very bad. Some students were drowsy, some were secretly playing with their mobile phones, and some were too engrossed in chatting.
I thought the teacher on the podium couldn't see.
Professor Liu felt a pang of indescribable sadness. Born in the 1950s, he was almost 70 this year. He had been rehired after retirement.
Any of his students are even more awesome than him, and the most impressive one has already become an academician.
Some people even led key national scientific research projects.
He has trained so many outstanding students, but now he teaches at a third-tier university.
The old man is not short of money at all!
I was deceived by the principal of a third-tier school. The principal said that the educational resources for these students were backward and he hoped to give poor students some opportunities.
That's how the old man came.
But when I got here, I found that these children had given up on themselves.
My grades were already lagging behind, and coupled with my lack of effort, I was in a state of complete failure.
The students have given up and the teacher can’t save them no matter how hard he tries.
Girls secretly draw their eyelashes in class while boys play games.
How can this continue?
Professor Liu was really a little angry.
He has come from a poor background, so it is such a blessing for him to be able to study.
Besides, the tuition fees for third-tier universities are not cheap.
If you want to stand out, you need to work harder than others.
But these people failed him.
Professor Liu was really furious! He slammed his lesson plan onto the podium, and the large lecture hall, which had been sparsely populated, suddenly fell silent.
Professor Liu said, "You are here to study. If you don't want to study, leave immediately. All your daily attendance checks will be marked as zero."
"Since your family has asked you to come and study, you should behave like a student and see for yourself what you are like."
"In the past, college students were the pillars of the country, speaking up for the people. But can people like you really be pillars?"
"I don't care about your appearances. If you can learn, then learn. If you can't, then leave here and don't take up the good guys' nest here."
"Start taking roll call again from now on. Anyone who doesn't come today will be treated as failing the course."
The students present secretly groaned.
He quickly used his mobile phone to send messages to those who didn't come: Hurry up, hurry up, Old Liu is angry.
The invigilation for the final exam in advanced mathematics was very lax, and it was even a pity to cheat.
But for this thing, most people don’t even know who they copied from, and most of them don’t know how to do it.
Once you fail a course, it's over.
While Professor Liu was getting angry, people came one after another.
Everyone listened to the class for the next hour.
But everyone's eyes radiate a clear sense of stupidity. It's like "I hear you, but I don't understand." The main theme is respect and companionship.
Professor Liu had a headache after watching this.
I have never taught such poor students. I feel like I am not teaching a group of students, but playing the lute to a cow.
After class, the teacher in the office heard that Professor Liu had lost his temper today and quickly admonished him: "Professor Liu, you should take care of your own health first. They have given up themselves for these students. It is not worth it for you to be angry with them."
He also has some inexplicable persistence, which makes him incompatible with a third-tier university.
He understands this very well, as he has been a teacher for 50 years.
But as people get older, they become more stubborn and keep muttering, "I just can't believe that among so many people, not a single one is interested in math. Math is such a fascinating subject."
The other teachers didn't dare to persuade him anymore.
But after they left, Professor Liu took out two of his quick-acting heart pills and took them.
For the second class, Professor Liu prepared the lesson carefully again and took a cup of water to the classroom.
There were more people in the lecture hall this time, and everyone was afraid of angering Old Liu, and in the end they really failed the course.
But the people who came this time were a little different. There were two more people in the first row, one was Shen Wei, and the other was 5-year-old He Lingfeng.
Children come to attend university classes,
Still sitting in the first row.
Several girls wanted to come over and secretly take photos, which they really thought was so cute.
He Lingfeng is good-looking and was thin before, but with the efforts of Shen Wei and her colleagues in the kindergarten, He Lingfeng has grown some flesh on his cheeks, making him look chubby and cute!
Third-tier universities do not prohibit others from taking classes for free.
But outsiders usually take some art classes.
For example, courses like outdoor volleyball and film appreciation.
This was the first time someone had taken an advanced mathematics class for free! The university students' eyes were filled with admiration.
Before the teacher arrived, there was even a small commotion in the classroom, which only died down after Professor Liu came in.
But someone had already posted on the campus forum that a child had come to listen to Old Liu's class. Other students who hadn't attended couldn't help but observe a moment of silence in the post.
"If you're so depressed, go to Old Liu's class."
"Old Liu's temper has been flaring up lately. If the child cries or something, he won't get mad at him, will he?"
"Why are there children here? I heard that some graduate students came to school pregnant and with their children."
“Impossible, the one who brought the child here is the school beauty, Sister Shen Wei!”
Shen Wei had just graduated. Everyone had witnessed her four years of college and it was absolutely impossible for her to have children.
In the end, everyone concluded that the relative's child had no one to take care of him, so he might just come to take a class or something.
For a while, everyone was waiting for this post.
I just want to know who will break down first, the child or Old Liu.
Some people even started a vote, and for a while this ordinary post received more than 2,000 replies.
The two people at the center of the topic at this moment were completely unaware that they had caused a small climax in the campus post.
Old Liu had never taught such a young child before, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Although He Lingfeng didn't attend many classes, he knew how to respect his teachers. Every time Professor Liu looked at him, he would sit up straight.
He looks like he is going to study hard, but he has charmed many older brothers and sisters.
Professor Liu didn't know what he was thinking. Instead of expelling them, he continued teaching the class in an orderly manner.
In class, there are all kinds of formulas, theories, and ideas for solving problems.
Most people find this part a bit boring. Although they arrive in the end, their souls have gone somewhere else. Some people lower their heads to play with their mobile phones, while others sleep on the table.
It is said that students sleep better in math class than in other classes.
Anyway, as long as you don’t snore, you won’t affect others.
As Professor Liu was speaking, he realized that no one was listening.
The large lecture hall, which can hold 120 people, is almost full.
But everyone was busy with their own things.
Professor Liu paused and wanted to get even more angry, but then he realized that there was actually someone listening to his class, a five-year-old child. And that child's eyes were always following his thoughts.
Professor Liu had stopped teaching, but no one else noticed that he had stopped. They were all sleeping or busy with their own things.
Professor Liu paused and continued to lecture.
Professor Liu’s courses are very good and to be honest.
It is easy to understand and integrates all the knowledge learned previously.
Although he taught college mathematics, it covered a lot of knowledge points that were already in high school. He deliberately kept it simple so that everyone could understand it more familiarly.
But he didn't expect that all his efforts were in vain.
But no matter what, he is a teacher, and as long as he stands on the podium, he must be worthy of the audience.
He broke it down and explained it in such detail, which was very friendly to He Lingfeng.
He was in a period of rapid learning. Suddenly, he realized he understood what the teacher was saying, and his enthusiasm immediately soared. The look in his eyes was different between those who were learning and those who weren't.
Professor Liu suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
The only person who listened to him attentively was the 5-year-old child.
He felt amused but also curious. Could this child really understand?
Anyway, this child is a very good child.
He couldn't help wondering what the child could hear. He immediately called the child over and asked him what he had just said.
Actually, I just want to know whether this child seems to be serious but is actually listening carefully.
He was not asked to give a real answer.
When the other people present heard that the teacher had actually woken up the child, they immediately became alert.
There were also some busybodies who posted it on that highly discussed campus thread.
The caption reads: Here it comes, Old Man Liu is going to fight the kid.
My fellow students may not be good at studying, but they are not sleepy when it comes to gossip.
He Lingfeng stood up and repeated Professor Liu's previous question, and then he gave his answer in his childish language.
Professor Liu smiled and nodded at first, but after listening to the child's answer, he frowned. What's the matter? The child gave the correct answer, and he hadn't even mentioned it yet.
