When the high-speed train arrived at Ruxu, it was already past three in the afternoon. Even so, Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng rushed to the high-speed train station early in the morning before the sun came out, and took the earliest high-speed train back to Ruxu.
Zhou Yu hurriedly carried the suitcase and took Qiao Meng to the elevator, then walked out of the station. His anxious look made Qiao Meng roll her eyes.
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's only a little after three o'clock now. We will be at school at four o'clock at the latest. Evening self-study doesn't start until six fifty. There are still three hours before evening self-study. You can still make it in time even if you walk back!"
Zhou Yu stood in the elevator, and only after he stabilized the suitcase did he breathe a sigh of relief. He said to Qiao Meng, "Who is going to study for the evening? There is nothing wrong with studying for the evening. I still have some work to prepare for the class. I have to hurry up and do it!"
Qiao Meng felt a little speechless after hearing Zhou Yu's words, "Your class will be tomorrow, why do you have to rush for so long? Even if you can fly back now, it will only take a few dozen minutes! How much can you do in this short time? Can't you do these things during your evening self-study?"
Zhou Yu was not a stubborn person. He figured it out after thinking about it carefully. However, in order not to lose face, he still stubbornly said, "Didn't you say that at the time? If you are going to play, then have fun. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dropped everything and just brought my legs to play!"
"Besides, the students will ask a lot of questions during the evening self-study. How can I have time to do my work then?"
This is true. Since Zhou Yu's current high school knowledge system is very comprehensive and at textbook level, this also leads to the fact that no matter whether it is the liberal arts class or the science class, everyone's first reaction when encountering a problem is to ask the class teacher. If they can't find the class teacher, they will choose to ask the corresponding subject teacher.
Seeing Zhou Yu's stubborn look, Qiao Meng couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, okay!"
When she is out, she must give her man the face he deserves, but how she deals with Zhou Yu when she returns depends on her mood.
Seeing Qiao Meng's surrender, Zhou Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at the other passengers around him, Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows proudly, and his back standing in the elevator straightened a little.
Zhou Yu's little action was naturally seen by Qiao Meng, but Qiao Meng didn't care. She just lifted the bag on her back and put her other hand on Zhou Yu's arm, reminding Zhou Yu, "I bought a lot of gifts on this trip. After you go back, sort them out and make sure you don't make the mistake of giving them to whom."
Zhou Yu nodded and responded casually, "Don't worry, I remember everything! Are you still worried about my memory? Up to now, there has been nothing I have forgotten!"
"Okay, okay, you're awesome, okay?"
The two chatted about random things while riding in the elevator.
Today is only October 3rd. Although Zhou Yu will start formal classes tomorrow, this is only the arrangement for the third year of high school. Teachers and students in other grades still have a full four-day National Day holiday.
"Are you really not going back this time? The National Day is still four days away. I guess I'll give up, but your parents and my parents both want to see you!" Zhou Yu looked at Qiao Meng and said.
Ever since the two confirmed their relationship, Zhou Yu seemed to be picked up from outside by his parents. Zhou Dahai and Wang Yufang would always call him Xiao Qiao. Zhou Yu's status in this family plummeted, and he was even worse than the dog in the family.
But at least Aunt Huang and Teacher Qiao treated Zhou Yu like their own son, which made Zhou Yu feel a lot better.
Qiao Meng shook her head, "Not going back! Why go back? Didn't we call last time? My parents and your parents have made an appointment. The four of us will go hiking together! Even if I go home now, there's no one at home!"
The children's major affairs have basically been decided, not to mention that Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng have bright futures in their jobs. Even the house was given to Zhou Yu by the company, which further demonstrates how much the leaders value Zhou Yu.
This is not the last century when houses could still be distributed. But nowadays, if you don’t have some ability, let alone getting a house, you yourself can be sold like a cow or a horse.
Zhou Yu's performance at work and the school's emphasis on him made the four elderly people in the family suddenly feel that everything seemed to have no sense of accomplishment? !
What happened to the saying that when our children get married, we have to empty the wallets of four people from both families? Why is it that this saying doesn’t work in our family?
The four middle-aged parents felt that they had little sense of involvement, so when Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng were working away from home, their already good relationship became even closer.
As a result, Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng did not nag to go back to their hometown during the National Day. The four of them had already made an appointment in advance to go hiking in Huangshan together during the National Day golden week.
So this is one of the reasons why Qiao Meng doesn’t plan to go back during the National Day holiday.
"Just focus on your classes! I've already made an appointment with my colleagues to go shopping together!"
Zhou Yu nodded, "That's fine, when the time comes, don't be reluctant to spend money on whatever you want to buy, just buy it!"
"You spend more money when buying things. Why waste that money!" Qiao Meng looked at Zhou Yu dissatisfiedly. "Also, most of the time, girls go shopping just to browse, not necessarily to buy anything! Got it?"
Zhou Yu scratched his head, not quite understanding what Qiao Meng said.
But after thinking about it carefully, Zhou Yu realized that Qiao Meng seemed to have really bought something when they were shopping together. But all the small items she bought were cheap ones.
Chatting and laughing, the two of them walked out of the high-speed rail station, got in a taxi and headed directly towards Ruxu No. 2 Middle School.
After arriving at school, the two went straight back to the dormitory without any delay.
Zhou Yu, who had been in a hurry at first, slowed down his movements as soon as he returned to the dormitory. He even dropped his luggage, found some clean clothes, and went straight to the bathroom to wash up, as if there was a ritual before working.
However, Qiao Meng was not so anxious. Instead, she calmly opened the suitcase and began to sort the gifts she brought back into categories, waiting to give them to familiar teachers or leaders.

Since it is still daylight saving time, the evening study time will still start when the preparatory bell rings at 6:50 p.m., and it will ring a second time at 7 o'clock, and then it will officially begin.
However, even if evening self-study does not start until 7 o'clock, the more motivated senior high school students will still rush to the classroom after dinner to start reviewing.
Because of Zhou Yu, the classrooms of Senior 3 (26) and Senior 3 (27) were arranged on the top floor of the main teaching building, mixed with the classrooms of Senior 1 and 2. This also resulted in the students of Senior 3 (26) and Senior 3 (27) feeling that the main teaching building seemed unusually empty after returning to school after the three-day National Day holiday.
"The last time I felt the teaching building was so empty was the last time!" Looking at the empty and dark teaching building with only the lights on on the top floor vaguely visible, Xu Jiahao and his friends seemed a little emotional.
After they graduated from high school and received their acceptance letters, they never set foot in this teaching building or this school again.
After going to college, the classrooms in their university's teaching building were much more spacious and brighter than the classrooms in this high school.
But for some reason, they felt that the experience and warmth brought to them by this high school, which covers an area of less than 100 acres, far exceeded that of the university they were attending. This is one of the reasons why they wanted to come back and take another look.
Gong Jinkang looked at the familiar teaching building in front of him, no longer as lively as before, and said with emotion, "Yes, although it has been so long since I left school, it feels like just yesterday that we were still sitting in the classroom, reviewing hard for the college entrance examination. Also, listening to your words is like listening to your words! Class monitor, don't talk next time!"
As Xu Jiahao led the other students into the building, he casually said, "Hey, at this time, are there any people in Teacher Zhou's class going to the evening self-study class?"
"Of course there must be one! How could there not be one? Didn't you see that the light was on in our class... Senior 3 (27) classroom?"
Peng Bolin, who was a bit silent before, gradually became cheerful after going through the baptism of senior year. Facing his old classmates, Peng Bolin couldn't help but joke, "Fuck, I thought I was already crazy enough! But after entering our old Class 27, I found out that there are people who are even more crazy than me!"
Seeing Peng Bolin mentioned this, the others also began to discuss the topic of "Who was the top scorer in the class back then" with great interest.
After everyone's unanimous decision, the two people who were most likely to be affected were squad leader Xu Jiahao and Hu Huanhuan.
The next ones would be Zhang Li and Peng Bolin.
This does not mean that others are not working hard. Others are also studying very hard, but the top ones, that is, those who have been admitted to key universities, are studying very hard.
At the beginning, because Zhang Li was working too hard, Zhou Yu even secretly called Zhang Li out to give her some advice.
Seeing everyone mentioning her, Zhang Li couldn't help but blush and felt a little embarrassed.
The distance of five floors is long, but in a sense, the distance of five floors is also short.
When everyone climbed to the fifth floor, it felt like they were climbing faster than before. If science students were to talk about it, they might cite various formulas to prove why it was faster than before.
But Xu Jiahao and his friends are liberal arts students, so after thinking about it, they would probably just say that this might just be because the person is more eager to see someone.
Maybe they were used to it. Even though there were more than 30 people walking on the stairs, everyone seemed quiet except for the whispers.
After reaching the fifth floor, Xu Jiahao and his friends saw at a glance that the lights in the classroom for which they had worked hard for a whole year were on. Even if they looked far away at the stairs, they could see that there were already quite a few people sitting in the classroom, which made everyone present smile knowingly.
"It seems that our younger classmates are not much behind us!" someone joked.
However, what puzzled everyone even more was that the lights were on in the classroom next to Senior Grade 3 (27) classroom.
"That's Senior 3 (26) class next to them, a science class, also taught by our teacher!" Gong Jinkang was obviously well-informed. Seeing everyone's confusion, he explained in a low voice, "Our teacher is very capable. The school follows the principle of more work for those who are capable, so we simply let Teacher Zhou continue to teach a science class on top of the arts class!"
The science subjects of No. 2 Middle School are relatively weak, which is a fact known to everyone. So after hearing Gong Jinkang's generous explanation, everyone suddenly realized what was going on and no one said anything.
If you put it that way, they will understand.
After all, everyone can see Teacher Zhou's abilities, so the school can understand this.
It's human nature! If it were anyone else, they would do the same thing, trying their best. After all, if the science class is also brought up by Teacher Zhou, it would be a qualitative leap for No. 2 Middle School as a whole!
College students like Xu Jiahao naturally would not disturb their younger classmates' studies. After walking closer and taking a look, they found that there were already many students studying in the two classrooms. So they left the teaching building directly, found a place to sit, and chatted while waiting for Teacher Zhou, leaving only the younger classmates who were confused in the classroom.
...
...
Zhou Yu didn't know at this time that his students were waiting to give him a surprise.
As the head teacher of the senior class, he naturally has to return to school as soon as the students return to school, otherwise if any emergency occurs, Zhou Yuhao will be able to deal with it in the first time.
According to the weekly evening self-study duty schedule, Zhou Yu is not on duty today, but this is National Day and the first day back to school after the holiday, so the school has arranged for the class teacher to be on duty the first night.
After dinner, Zhou Yu, at Qiao Meng's reminder, took his lesson preparation notes and laptop with him, preparing to do some work for tomorrow and the future during the evening self-study session.
While thinking about tomorrow's class, Zhou Yu walked slowly towards the teaching building. However, he never expected that when he was about to reach the teaching building, he heard several voices.
"Here we come, it's our teacher! Teacher, we're here to see you!"
"Lao Zhou! Do you miss us?"
"Teacher Zhou, Teacher Zhou! It's us! Do you still remember us?!"
....
....
Huh? Why does this voice sound so familiar? !
Zhou Yu raised his head in confusion and looked in the direction of the voice.
With just one glance, Zhou Yu smiled and greeted everyone, "It's you, you kids, you keep talking nonsense, how could I not recognize you! By the way, why did you think of coming back to school?"
