It is difficult to describe how Zhou Yu felt when he saw so many of his former students standing in front of him.
Touched? Happy? Surprised? Excited? Or maybe all of them.
Zhou Yu has only been a teacher for a short time, but he has been a student for a long time.
A long time ago, Zhou Yu heard from others that as a teacher, in the first one or two years, you may be passionate about everything, towards your students, colleagues, and your job.
However, in the following period of time, teachers began to slowly lose their enthusiasm in all kinds of chaotic and complicated situations, and gradually, they ended up only regarding teaching as an ordinary job.
Moreover, Zhou Yu also heard from others that after students graduate, especially after graduating from high school, they rarely go back to visit their teachers, except for those so-called "naughty students with poor grades".
At first, Zhou Yu didn't take it seriously, thinking that such a thing would never happen. Zhou Yu even thought that if it were him, he would definitely visit the teacher as soon as he had time after graduation.
In fact, after Zhou Yu graduated and went to university, he gradually began to understand.
Looking back, except for his father-in-law, Teacher Qiao, Zhou Yu rarely thought of visiting other teachers. Even the time he thought about them was almost limited.
When I was in college, I always thought about how to get more credits, how to find time to chat with girls, and how to get my roommate's treasured seeds.
Yes, time always moves forward, and people will look forward as time goes by. Except for the people or things that they particularly value, everything else will basically be lost in the dust of memory as time goes by.
After Zhou Yu became a teacher, he also prepared himself mentally in advance and secretly told himself that the students he taught were no different from them in the past.
So when Zhou Yu saw these students waiting for him on the campus of Ruxu No. 2 Middle School, one can imagine how Zhou Yu felt.
Maybe...things are not what I think?
However, Zhou Yu had no time to think more. When Zhou Yu opened his mouth, those excited students had already come forward, surrounded Zhou Yu, and began to chat with Zhou Yu about the interesting things that happened in college in the past two months.
These students took into consideration that it was evening self-study time and their younger classmates were still studying intensively, so they also intentionally controlled their volume.
However, as the saying goes, quantitative change usually leads to qualitative change. Even if one person's voice is very small, the added decibels of more than 30 people are enough to make the campus of Ruxu No. 2 Middle School, which originally seemed unusually quiet, appear unusually noisy.
This noisy situation immediately attracted the attention of the school leaders on duty in the office building not far away.
When the school leader on duty walked out of the office and saw a large group of people gathered near the main teaching building, he immediately became furious.
This is not proper, this is not proper! What class are these students from?! It’s almost evening self-study time, but they don’t stay in class properly, and dare to gather outside to chat and play?!
It’s fine if you just gather together to chat and play, but why don’t you change the place?! If you disturb the studies of those kids in Class 3 (26) and Class 3 (27), even if your parents are the kings, it won’t help!
This is no longer an ordinary student, we must strike hard!
As other senior high school students had almost started their self-study, the school leader did not dare to stop them loudly. Without thinking too much, he immediately stormed out of the office and strode towards the main teaching building.
Don't let me catch you, or I'll make you suffer!
However, the school leaders did not expect that this short journey of just one or two minutes would cause his emotions to fluctuate so drastically.
When the school leader approached the group of people who were chatting with an angry look on his face, his expression suddenly froze. The anger and even flushed face disappeared without a trace immediately, leaving only a slight embarrassment and awkwardness.
...
...
Zhou Yu was very happy chatting with these students who had been away from No. 2 Middle School for almost half a year about the interesting things they experienced in high school and the things they should pay attention to in college.
"Xu Jiahao, you've been in Beijing University for so long, how do you feel? Study hard when you get out. If anything happens, remember not to reveal your name as your teacher!"
"That naughty boy has now gone to a 211 university. But Gong Jinkang, you can't be so playful when you go to university! If you fail a course in university, no one will save you!"
"Huanhuan, are you used to the food in the Magic City? There are more sweet foods there. If... oh, there are different cafeterias to try, and the flavors are also very rich. There is always one that suits you? That's fine! What the teacher means is, eat more. Look at how thin you are!"
"Zhang Li, you......"
As they were chatting, Zhou Yu noticed from the corner of his eye that someone was walking towards them not far away, but Zhou Yu didn't pay much attention to it. But when the person kept walking towards them, Zhou Yu thought that he might be coming for them.
When the person came closer, Zhou Yu could see the person's face clearly under the light of the street lamp.
"Director Sun!"
When Zhou Yu saw the people coming, he had no idea why Director Sun, who was on duty at the school tonight, came here, so Zhou Yu quickly stopped the students from chatting and greeted Director Sun.
When Director Sun approached the crowd, he did not recognize Xu Jiahao and his students at first, but he could never forget Zhou Yu's face and voice.
So when Director Sun discovered that Zhou Yu was standing in the center of the crowd, his original intention of accusing him of something suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Who is Zhou Yu?
The star teacher of No.2 Middle School, the guarantor of KPI of many school leaders, the star of performance, the creator of miracles...
Zhou Yu is a person who even the principal and others have to coax to come. He is the well-deserved prince of No. 2 Middle School!
Not to mention that Zhou Yu was just standing here chatting with a group of students, even if Zhou Yu took off all his clothes and ran naked here, Director Sun would have to pinch his nose to cover for Zhou Yu, clap his hands and cheer loudly, and say that Teacher Zhou was performing advanced performance art.
When Zhou Yu took the initiative to greet Director Sun, Director Sun immediately smiled and walked up to Zhou Yu and said loudly, "Teacher Zhou, are you educating the students? Why don't you go inside the classroom? Staying in this dark environment for too long may affect your eyesight!"
Zhou Yu quickly squeezed out of the crowd, walked to Director Sun and said to him, "I'm sorry, Director Sun, these students of mine have just entered college. It's National Day now, so I wanted to take this opportunity to come back and see me!"
"These kids are really something. They didn't even call me in advance to let me know, but insisted on giving me a surprise! Look, they blocked me in the school late at night without considering the impact on other people! Director Sun, I'll take them away right away!"
When Director Sun heard Zhou Yu say, "My students have just entered college," he was stunned.
A student of Mr. Zhou? Just entered college?
Teacher Zhou’s students have just started college. Aren’t they the same group of people that our school just sent off?
So if you put it that way...
Director Sun quickly looked at the group of students behind Zhou Yu, and took advantage of the dim street lights to carefully examine the appearance of these students. After this look, Director Sun smiled more often.
Apart from anything else, Director Sun had a very deep impression of students like Xu Jiahao and Hu Huanhuan who were admitted to top universities in China, which was why he was able to recognize them at once.
Good students, all of them are good students!
I can’t say anything else, and no one can be sure of the future, but at least now, before these students graduate from college, they are the pride of No. 2 Middle School.
Director Sun understood and said to Zhou Yu with a relieved expression, "It's okay, Teacher Zhou! It's a good thing that the students still remember to come back to visit their teacher!"
After that, Director Sun did not forget to express his support for Zhou Yu, "Teacher Zhou, you guys go ahead and chat, I'll come here, I just want to remind you, after all, it's open outside, and it's windy outside, there are a lot of mosquitoes, why not find a classroom, Teacher Zhou, you guys sit down and chat slowly!"
Director Sun's words suddenly gave Zhou Yu an idea.
So taking this opportunity, Zhou Yu quickly said, "Director Sun, what you just said gave me an idea!"
Director Sun asked with interest, "Oh? What happened to Teacher Zhou?"
Zhou Yu said, "That's right, Director Sun. I plan to take advantage of the opportunity when my students come back to tell their younger classmates about their experiences in college, so that those kids can understand the importance of studying hard!"
"Sure, Teacher Zhou, your idea is great!" Director Sun nodded in agreement. "With these children telling us about their experiences and observations, if nothing else, the senior high school students can at least understand the beauty of college life, which will give them more motivation to study!"
Director Sun expressed his approval of Zhou Yu's idea. After all, the students headed by Xu Jiahao were very strong. If Xu Jiahao and others could introduce some of their learning methods at the symposium, then these students would benefit greatly from learning even a little bit of their methods.
Seeing that Director Sun also agreed with his idea, Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile even brighter. He quickly took this opportunity to tell Director Sun the idea that had just occurred to him. "It's like this, Director Sun, I'm in charge of two classes, and there are indeed a lot of people. So I plan to borrow the school's large conference room and spend half of the evening study time to hold a symposium so that these children can listen and feel it!"
The grades of these students are now steadily improving, and Zhou Yu doesn't feel bad at all for spending an entire evening study session on this symposium.
Zhou Yu didn't care, and Director Sun had no objection at all.
In Ruxu No. 2 Middle School, whatever Zhou Yu wanted to do, in the eyes of the school leaders, it was all teaching experiments, one of the various measures that Teacher Zhou had come up with to improve the admission rate. Others had no right to raise objections and could only support it!
"Sure, sure! You can use it as you like, Teacher Zhou!" Director Sun showed great support for Zhou Yu. "Then how about this, Teacher Zhou, go and notify the students in your two classes first. I'll find someone to open the door to the conference room, and then you and your students can just go in!"
"Okay, okay, thank you Director Sun, it's so late at night!"
"It's not a big deal, it's all for work!"
Zhou Yu also agreed with a smile on his face. After that, Director Sun chatted with Zhou Yu for a few more words and then prepared to leave with a smile on his face. After all, he was the only leader on duty at night, and it was not convenient for him to stay here with a group of students all the time.
...
...
Not only Xu Jiahao and his classmates felt dizzy, but also the 121 students from the two classes of Senior 3 (26) and Senior 3 (27) who were notified at short notice to attend a symposium in the conference room after evening self-study were feeling dizzy.
No, what's going on?
Why did the head teacher suddenly notify them to go to the conference room for a symposium at this late hour when they were not reviewing properly?!
What the hell is going on at school?
Also, who will hold a symposium for them?
Could it be some leader or expert that just popped up from nowhere?!
But...never mind!
After all, children are just children. Even though the grades of the two classes taught by Zhou Yu are already the best in Ruxu No. 2 Middle School, children's nature cannot be eliminated. In their eyes, learning is still a boring thing, even with Zhou Yu's support.
Therefore, as long as it can keep them from attending classes and studying, then just hold this symposium!
Besides, it seemed that this symposium was held together by two classes taught by Teacher Zhou. Students all liked the lively atmosphere with many people, so they were chattering along the way, finding it quite fun. They even had time to say hello to students from the next class and inquire about the details.
However, when they came to the conference room together and saw the situation inside, the students found that things seemed a little different.
Why are there only the head teacher and a group of people dressed like students sitting and chatting in this large conference room?
Where are the experts? Where are the leaders?
Moreover, why do those students look familiar? !
"Fuck, isn't that Xu Jiahao!"
A classmate said in surprise, and Xu Li heard it immediately, and asked, "Brother, who is Xu Jiahao? Why do you have the same last name as me?"
"You don't even know Xu Jiahao?" Niu Dehua explained considerately, "He was the top student in liberal arts in our county last year, and also the second in the province! The student who was admitted to Peking University has been on the news!"
Xu Jiahao was immediately surprised. "Wow, so awesome?! From Peking University?!"
Although Zhejiang Province is an economically strong province, Peking University treats everyone equally and the number of students admitted from Zhejiang Province is not large, so people from Zhejiang Province also take pride in attending Peking University.
...
...
After all the students were seated, Zhou Yu, the class teacher and speaker, explained to the students why this symposium was held.
"So, let's welcome your senior, Xu Jiahao, who is also the second in the province in liberal arts, to talk to everyone!"
After he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause from below the podium.
Xu Jiahao was not at all nervous. He took the microphone from Zhou Yu and said to the people below the stage, "Actually, I don't have much to say, but I've been in school for so long, and I always have something to say."
"Especially after I went to Kyoto University, this idea became even stronger. And tonight, the first thing I want to tell you is that studying is not our only way out."
