Final exams are in full swing.
After the final exams, students can go home for vacation, so that the usually relatively quiet campus gradually becomes restless.
A week before the end of the semester, as time was becoming increasingly tight, Zhou Yu announced publicly in the last cram school class that the cram school would be temporarily suspended, and the subsequent start would have to wait until after the Chinese New Year.
When Zhou Yu made the announcement, the classroom suddenly cheered.
"Great! I can finally take a break! It feels like I haven't had a day off in a while!"
"It's not that long. Didn't we have a day off for New Year's Day a while ago?"
"You call one day a holiday? I haven't been home yet, it feels like I don't have a holiday at all!"
"One day off doesn't count as a holiday? I'm just asking you if you rested or not!"
...
...
The discussion below became more and more heated, and the smile on Zhou Yu's face became more and more eager.
This strange scene immediately attracted the attention of a student.
It was very strange, as if it was contagious, once one student became quiet, the other students immediately followed suit as if they had agreed to do so, and they all became quiet, even though no one understood what was happening.
Zhou Yu looked at the students below with a smile and asked, "Why did you stop suddenly? Let's continue chatting. Anyway, there's nothing else to do now."
Even though they knew that there was no sarcasm in what Zhou Yu said, the students below the podium still just chuckled and did not continue the complicated discussion.
After waiting for a few seconds, seeing that the students still had no intention of continuing to speak, but just focused their eyes on him, Zhou Yu thought for a moment and spoke first.
"Everyone is in their third year of high school this year, so in principle there won't be any winter vacation homework to assign."
Before he could finish his words, there was another round of cheers from below.
Originally, Sun Minghua was quite shameless and planned to make some money from these senior high school students - he also arranged a batch of winter vacation homework for them. It was said that each winter vacation homework book cost up to 20 yuan.
But this proposal was rejected by all leaders and teachers except Sun Minghua.
Even Sun Minghua's lackey number one Li Guowei and number two Zhu Laiwei felt that Principal Sun Minghua's proposal was a bit outrageous.
Brother, the senior high school students have a late holiday and start school early, so the total holiday is less than half a month? You still arrange winter vacation homework for them? You can't make money like this!
As a result, Sun Minghua's proposal was rejected by some shameless leaders headed by Yin Xiangdong, and the proposal to buy winter homework for senior high school students was changed to each class teacher and subject teachers preparing the winter homework themselves.
Afterwards, according to the gossip revealed by Xiao Chen during a private chat, Sun Minghua's face looked very unhappy at the time.
Zhou Yu could empathize with this. Without the winter vacation homework for these 500+ students, our Principal Sun would lose a lot of money. It would be strange if he could look happy.
Not to mention anything else, a book of winter vacation homework costs 20 yuan, and there are 6 books each for liberal arts and science, which means 120 yuan per person. There are about 500 people in the entire senior year, so rounded off, that's 100 million yuan... No, that's more than 60,000 yuan!
Of course, the 60,000 yuan was not taken by Sun Minghua alone, but if he took a few percent of it, it would be a considerable amount of money.
......
Listening to the cheers from the audience, Zhou Yu waved his hand and said enthusiastically, "Although the school has not arranged any winter vacation homework, I still thoughtfully prepared some for you. Of course, this is only for you, not for others."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence, and the students below looked at each other, as if the cheers just now did not exist.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Zhou Yu blinked and said with a smile, "These are all good things prepared for you!"
Ah this......
The students below once again looked at each other in bewilderment.
Good stuff? Thank you so much!
However, when Zhou Yu told them, people like Zhou Tao and Liu Lin realized that, in a sense, what Zhou Yu prepared for them was indeed "good stuff".
Zhou Yu took out a large stack of test papers from his bag, waved to Wang Jingqi and Zhou Tao, and asked them to come up and pick up the test papers and distribute them to everyone.
"Huh? This test paper... was made by you, teacher?" Liang Yin asked in confusion, looking at the test paper in her hand with nothing on it but the questions.
Upon hearing this, the others checked the other test papers in their hands and spoke up.
"Indeed, there is nothing on it. It looks like a three-no product."
"Teacher Zhou really took the trouble to prepare these test questions for us. Thank you!"
...
...
Zhou Yu smiled and explained, "I didn't come up with these test questions. I asked someone to do it for me."
"Strictly speaking, these test papers are used internally by a famous school, well, a famous school in the country. That's why I say they are 'good stuff'!"
After hearing what Zhou Yu said, the students below realized how heavy the test papers in their hands were.
At this point, Zhou Yu's expression became a little more serious. "So my request to you is, go home during the winter vacation and do these papers well. Also, don't pass the papers on to others. If you do, it may cause some trouble to the teacher and his friends. Do you understand?"
Zhou Yu's words once again made them realize how far Zhou Yu could go for them.
In addition to being moved, they had even more respect and gratitude for Zhou Yu.
It was fine for those who were more reserved like Liang Yin and Wang Jingqi, but those who were bolder and more outgoing like Liu Lin and Zhou Tao were already patting their chests and making promises, "Don't worry, teacher! We promise that only we can see this paper! And we will definitely finish it during the winter vacation!"
"That's right! Teacher, you are so good to us! We would be so sorry if our grades don't improve!"
"If you don't get 500 points in the college entrance examination, you will really be sorry for your efforts! Teacher, just wait and see! If you can't get into a second-tier university, I will bring my head to you!"
"Me too!"
Seeing that the speech was getting more and more outrageous, Zhou Yu quickly waved his hand to stop them, "Alright, alright, why are you getting more and more outrageous? Why do I need your heads? Just work hard and be true to yourselves."
"Okay, this is the last class of this year's cram school. Let's continue with the class and don't waste time!"
The students, who were full of morale, responded one after another, carefully put away the dozens of test papers in their hands, and began to listen to the class attentively.
...
...
When I carried my luggage back to my hometown, Xiangshan City, it was already the Little New Year.
After leaving the train station, Zhou Yu missed everything in front of him, including the dilapidated square in front of the station and everything about his hometown.
Zhou Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath of the air of his hometown.
"Cough cough cough!" Zhou Yu inhaled a cloud of dust, causing him to cough.
Standing in the square in front of the train station with his luggage, Zhou Yu was annoyed by the waves of illegal taxi drivers coming up to him and asking questions.
After rejecting countless waves of illegal taxi drivers who came to inquire, Zhou Yu finally waited for someone to come and pick him up.
"Dad!" Zhou Yu waved to the person who came.
The middle-aged man who was still looking around near the square saw his son whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He showed a simple smile, hurriedly stepped forward to take his son's luggage, and took Zhou Yu to the electric car on the side of the road.
"I can go back by myself, why did you come to pick me up?" Zhou Yu said with a slightly complaining tone, "It would be great if you had this time to rest at home. You are so tired at work."
"Oh, it's the end of the year, and the New Year is coming soon. What could possibly happen at the mine?" Zhou Dahai didn't care. "Your mother was worried, so she asked me to pick you up. Otherwise, I wouldn't come."
Zhou Yu had known his father's stubbornness since he was a child. So, facing his father's words, Zhou Yu just smiled and said nothing more.
An electric car, carrying the father and son, slowly drove towards their home.
