"It's over, it's over, it's really over now!"
Xu Li sat at the dining table, holding a bowl and chopsticks in his hands but not eating anything. He just sat there muttering to himself. This puzzled Niu Dehua and Ouyang Ming, who were eating a plate of squirrel mandarin fish nearby and had no idea what was going on.
"Xu Li, what's wrong with you? Why don't you eat? If you don't eat now, the food will get cold and won't taste good anymore!!"
Niu Dehua raised his head from his bowl, swallowed the fish in his mouth, and looked at the annoyed Xu Li in confusion, "Did you not do well in the exam or something? That shouldn't be the case. Chinese seems to be okay, and the difficulty is just average!"
Xu Li glanced at Niu Dehua who was asking in confusion. He just sighed heavily and didn't say anything.
This look made the other two people except Ji Nianping extremely confused. They thought Xu Li was really strange. How could he be fine in the morning, but suddenly become so depressed after an exam?
Could it really be that he didn’t do well in the exam?
That shouldn’t be the case!
It’s just a mock exam. It’s not like I haven’t taken it before!
Besides, mock exams are not college entrance exams, and they can’t determine anything. If you fail, you fail. If you do better in the next exam, you can be done with it!
Not to mention that even if they failed the college entrance examination, it might be a big problem for the other three, but for Xu Li, who came from a wealthy family, it might not be a big deal!
For the second generation of rich people, their future is the thing they least need to worry about.
The worst case scenario is that you have to go home and inherit the family business or just wait for death.
Therefore, Niu Dehua and Ouyang Ming were very puzzled by Xu Li's appearance. After not getting an answer from Xu Li, Niu Dehua and Ouyang Ming looked at Ji Nianping who was also concentrating on eating.
"Ji, what's going on? When Xiao Ming and I handed in our papers and left the exam room, weren't you with Xu Li? You should know what happened to Xu Li. He was fine this morning, how come he suddenly became like this?"
"Donuts... No, the three-fresh hotpot is really delicious, haha!" Ji Nianping was also concentrating on eating, and was suddenly cueed by Niu Dehua and Ouyang Ming. He didn't react for a while.
After being stunned for three seconds, Ji Nianping said "Oh" as if he suddenly understood what Niu Dehua and Ouyang Ming were asking.
"Hey, it's not a big deal. It's just that our brother Xu handed in his paper early and was caught by the class teacher. The class teacher warned our brother Xu that after the exam, he will keep a close eye on him. If he makes mistakes on questions he shouldn't make, he will be punished as mentioned before. He will have to copy the wrong questions 100 times and post them on our blackboard for everyone's reference."
Well, that’s really not a big deal…bullshit!
“Cough cough cough!”
“Cough cough cough!”
Niu Dehua and Ouyang Ming were both choked by what Ji Nianping said and started coughing violently at the same time, which made Xu Li forget about being depressed. He quickly stood up and walked to the refrigerator and got a bottle of water for each of them.
Damn, why are you so excited that you're coughing like this? Drink some water quickly, or you'll choke to death.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Niu Dehua and Ou Yangming took a sip of the bottled water. After finally calming down, they hurriedly asked, "How did you get caught by the class teacher so carelessly? Can't you stay in the examination room for a while longer, check more, and come out after the exam is over?"
What a fool Xu Li is! The head teacher repeatedly told him not to hand in the paper early, but he still handed it in early this time!
It would have been fine if I had handed in the paper early, but I was caught. This is enough.
"I thought that since there are only a few minutes left, I might as well hand in the paper early! And it happens that the three of you are in the same examination room, so I have to come out early to wait for you! What if you all hand in the paper together and I can't find you because of the crowds?!" Xu Li explained depressedly.
Niu Dehua and Ouyang Ming could no longer hold back, and looked at Xu Li, whose face was gradually flushing. They wanted to laugh at him, but seeing Xu Li's pitiful appearance, they couldn't bear it, and the mockery on their lips turned into words of comfort.
Tsk, Xu Li was just thinking about handing in the paper early and then waiting for you to come over for dinner, but now you're still thinking about mocking him, are you still a human being? Huh?! Tell me, are you a human being?
It must be the poet's!
Niu Dehua quickly comforted Xu Li, telling him not to be so depressed. "It's okay, it's okay. The head teacher only caught you with the Chinese language exam! Well, for the rest of the exams, you just need to be more careful and don't make any mistakes. The head teacher can't say anything to you!"
Even Ouyang Ming, who was usually quite silent, comforted Xu Lilai for the first time. "That's right, Brother Niu is right. As long as you are more serious and careful, the head teacher won't say anything to you... If you are really caught and have to copy for punishment, why don't we help you copy a little?"
Niu Dehua glared at Ouyang Ming after hearing this. "If you don't know how to talk, don't talk. What do you mean by 'you'll be caught later'?! There's no such possibility at all. Although Xu Li is relatively... well, relatively simple-minded, to be honest, Xu Li's achievements are still beyond doubt! He shouldn't make any small mistakes!"
Ji Nianping couldn't hold it anymore, he covered his face, and his shoulders began to tremble.
Ouyang Ming hadn't noticed it yet, but Niu Dehua was the first to notice Ji Nianping's abnormality.
"What's wrong? Was I wrong, Xiaoji? What's the matter with your reaction?!" Niu Dehua asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Don't say anything!" Seeing Ji Nianping's look, Xu Li hurriedly shouted at Ji Nianping.
"Ah, ah, it's okay! I just remembered something happy!"
Seeing Xu Li's look, Ji Nianping didn't want to tell the other two the details of what happened. After all, one should be grateful to the person who helped him. And although it was normal for friends to make fun of and play with each other, it depended on the situation.
It was obvious that Xu Li was really unhappy this time. As a friend, Ji Nianping couldn't use this matter to ridicule Xu Li. If he really did so, it would be like rubbing salt into the wound.
However, after this farce happened, Xu Li was the first to feel relieved.
Damn it, just copy it when the time comes, who’s afraid of who!
It was just a car overturning once, I don’t believe I can overturn it a second time!
"Let's eat. Anyway, something has happened. We can't let it affect the upcoming exams!" Xu Li invited the other three to eat.
However, after just two bites, Niu Dehua discovered the blind spot.
“That’s not right!”
Niu Dehua looked at Ji Nianping, who was eating rice in small bites and vegetables in big mouthfuls, "Xu Li was caught for handing in his paper early, didn't you hand in your paper early too? Why didn't the head teacher warn you and only warned Xu Li?"
Ouyang Ming also noticed something was wrong. "Yes, our class teacher doesn't seem like the type to discriminate against students based on their grades. Why did he only warn Xu Li and let you off so easily? Is that reasonable?"
This is indeed not very reasonable.
When asked, Ji Nianping looked at the other two in surprise, "That's unreasonable!"
"How could our homeroom teacher let me off? To be honest, I was actually warned."
Ji Nianping thought of the scene that happened not long ago and even wanted to laugh.
As they were chatting and waiting for someone, as soon as they mentioned the class teacher, Zhou Yu appeared in front of them.
Fortunately, the head teacher did not hear what they said before. After asking them some questions about the exam, he lightly said, "After the test papers are corrected, if you make mistakes on any questions that you shouldn't have made, you can copy the wrong questions as we agreed beforehand." Then he left the teaching building.
This warning from the head teacher made Ji Nianping and Xu Li look at each other in silence for a long time.
After Zhou Yu left, Ji Nianping seemed indifferent, while Xu Li looked a little ugly, like a defeated rooster, and his mood became a little depressed.
"Then how did you...how did you..." Niu Dehua hesitated to speak.
He wanted to ask why you looked so indifferent while Xu Li was in such a negative mood, but he was afraid that if he said it, it would hurt Xu Li's feelings too much, so he seemed to be hesitant to say it.
"Why do I look like I don't care?" Ji Nianping asked.
Niu Dehua nodded.
"Why should I care?" Ji Nianping smiled, "Brother Niu, what is the content of the punishment our class teacher said?"
Niu Dehua recalled what Zhou Yu said at the time and began to repeat, "It seems that if anyone handed in the paper early and got a question wrong, he would be punished to copy it 100 times, and then sign his name and put it on the blackboard for public display?"
Ji Nianping stretched out his hand and pointed his index finger at his face, "Then do you think I would make such a low-level mistake, make mistakes on questions I shouldn't make, and lose points I shouldn't lose?"
Niu Dehua: ...
Ouyang Ming:......
Xu Li: ...
Grass is a plant!
Ji Nianping seemed extremely confident when he said this, even a little conceited. However, after thinking of Ji Nianping's past achievements, the three people present suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with what Ji Nianping said?
However, although there is nothing wrong with what Ji Nianping said,
but......
Damn it, why do I suddenly want to beat him up?
Hard, the fist is hard.
After forcing himself to endure for a few seconds, Niu Dehua abruptly changed the subject.
He looked at Xu Li, whose fists were also a little stiff, and asked carefully, "Li, although our head teacher has always been very strict, you have such a good relationship with our head teacher, so he won't really ask you to copy 100 times, right? Don't worry, the head teacher will definitely let you off the hook!"
Xu Li also sighed, "Brother Niu, you don't know this, right? It is precisely because my family has a good relationship with the class teacher that our class teacher will be stricter. Not to mention that my parents told the class teacher before they left that if I did anything, the class teacher should tell them, and then they can come and break my legs."
Although some of the words of Xu Li's parents were exaggerated, the fact that they said so undoubtedly showed that Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang were extremely supportive of Zhou Yu's work.
Ouyang Ming, standing aside, obviously disagreed with Niu Dehua's words. In the eyes of Ouyang Ming, who had already become a fan of Zhou Yu, Niu Dehua's words were undoubtedly blasphemy against his idol Zhou Yu.
However, Niu Dehua was his good friend now, and Ouyang Ming didn't want to quarrel with Niu Dehua, so he just whispered, "I think the head teacher will definitely not be partial. The head teacher can lead our class 27 and the class 26 next door, and lead us students so well. It would be impossible if he only knew how to teach."
In the eyes of many students, including Ouyang Ming, the homeroom teacher Zhou Yu is a very nice person, both to them and to other people. Moreover, although Teacher Zhou is a nice person, he is not pedantic and is very humane.
Zhou Yu is not like some teachers who only like students with good grades. Zhou Yu is truly a teacher who teaches without distinction. No matter good or bad grades, he treats everyone equally. As long as you are willing to learn, Zhou Yu is willing to teach you. That is why many students like Zhou Yu and sincerely call him "teacher".
The profession of classroom is different now than it was before. In the past, teachers truly treated the profession of teacher as a noble cause. Even though the salary of this job was not good, what supported them was purely a belief.
As for today's teachers, well, Zhou Yu does not object to the fact that there are still many teachers who still have those noble sentiments, but it is undeniable that there are also many teachers who lack professional ethics.
The most obvious manifestation of these teachers is that they are snobbish. They always treat children from rich and powerful families differently from children from poor families, force parents to give them gifts, and so on.
When these teachers encounter problems between students, their first reaction is always, "You xxxxx, why don't you look for your own problems?"
You always fail in your studies. Why don’t you look for your own problems?
Your family is so poor, why don’t you look for your own problems?
Your parents are not as rich as other people's parents, why don't you look for your own problems?
Why does he only bully you and not others? Why don’t you look for your own problem?
There will always be people with bad intentions who will constantly try to pressure you and put pressure on you.
He is richer than your family and works harder than you, so you should look for your own problems!
He only blames you and not others, so you should look for your own problem!
His parents are richer than yours, so you should look for your own problems!
Fuck you, you always blame yourself for everything, that's what the lower class deserves, right? Children of lower class families deserve to be mediocre and be sucked dry all their lives, right?
It is undeniable that Zhou Yu always has shortcomings of one kind or another, but there is one thing that Zhou Yu does very well. He looks at all students equally, he treats students sincerely, and he handles things fairly.
And the most important point is that he can truly give those children from small town rural areas a different path, a path that is within reach and can change their destiny.
Children born in a small town to a family of test-takers do not have many options for career prospects, which is why Zhou Yu is so popular in Ruxu No. 2 Middle School.
Cherish what you have at the moment.
