Chapter 86 Let’s go and get the certificate?
She looked at the empty table facing the door. The table must have been used for a long time, and the paint on it was peeling, but it was wiped very clean. There were three drawers underneath, which were also kept clean.
At this moment, she had nothing except the three textbooks in her hands, including the textbook on ideology and morality, not even a piece of paper or a pen.
There were two hours left for lunch, and she was thinking about whether she should go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune, but she didn't have any money or tickets with her when she left.
After giving up the idea, she put down the book, walked around and looked at the school again.
There is a stone house next to the brigade headquarters. There is a stove and firewood piled up inside. Is there someone making a fire here?
After looking around, she returned to the office and began to formally prepare for the afternoon class.
There are four classes in the morning, including morning self-study, and four classes in the afternoon. Saturday is a half-day class. You can go home after cleaning at noon.
Today is April 8th in the Gregorian calendar. The Qingming Festival has just passed. It is less than two months before school starts, and there are not many classes. Wen Wan took a look and found that the third contact class was finished. She didn't know how the students were doing. She planned to teach the new content in the afternoon and practice the twelfth lesson of the fourth class - "Friendship First, Competition Second", and then find time nearby to give some questions to see how the students were doing in the previous classes.
She read the text once, looking at the sentence underlined in red: "Make up your mind, fear no sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, and strive for victory." Before her mind could clear its mind, Lu Donglin rushed in like a bomb, his eyes as bright as copper bells: "Sister Wen Wan, it really is you!"
Wen Wan closed the book and looked at him: "Surprised?"
Lu Donglin took a quick look and saw that there were no other teachers in the office. He walked in without hesitation and lay down across from her, looking at her: "How did you become a teacher?"
Wen Wan teased him: "This is a secret. From today on, we can go home together after school. We can come to school together tomorrow morning. Are you happy?"
Lu Donglin grinned: "Happy!"
Wen Wan said, "From now on, you are not allowed to call me sister in school. You should call me Teacher Wen. Do you understand?"
Lu Donglin——
All right!
Wen Wan smiled and said, "You have to greet the teacher when you see me, and report in when you come in. Come on, come on, go out, let's do it again and practice first."
Lu Donglin: ——So he didn’t even have a good meal and rushed to school in such a hurry just to practice?
Wen Wan looked at him standing there motionless, her face wrinkled. "Look, if you don't support my work, how can other students listen to me?"
Lu Donglin thought: Okay, I have to take the lead anyway, who is following who?
After Wen Wan was satisfied, he continued to chat with her: "Sister, that's not right, Teacher Wen, why are you the second grade teacher? Why not the third grade teacher? If I fail again this semester, can I be in your class next semester and have you teach me?"
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "No, how could you have such an idea? You must study hard. Who wants to repeat a grade all day long?"
Lu Donglin said, "How can they be the same? I thought that if you teach me, I will definitely be able to learn well." Their third-grade teacher was not as pretty as Wen Wan, nor did she speak as nicely as her, nor could she sing as well as her. When he heard the Zhou siblings singing while walking after school, he was extremely envious.
"I can teach you after school this afternoon! Besides, there are good students in your class, right? It's impossible that everyone can't learn like you. If there are good students, it doesn't mean that the teacher's teaching is bad, but that you don't study seriously. I heard from your brother that this is your third year in the third grade. If you repeat a grade again, the whole school will know that there is a student named Lu Donglin in the school who is stupid and can't even get over the hurdle of the third grade. Then someone will definitely ask who this stupid kid is from. There will definitely be people who know him, and they will definitely say, he is from Lujiazui, the younger brother of Lu Dongping. Maybe someone will say, hey, Lu Dongping actually has such a stupid brother, so he himself is not that smart."
Wen Wan looked at Lu Donglin, who was stunned, and continued to chatter: "So, think about it, if you don't study hard and repeat a grade again, you will not only be laughed at, but your brother and everyone in Lujiazui will be laughed at because of you."
He spoke fluently and non-stop, leaving Lu Donglin stunned. He hadn't expected that his poor grades and having to repeat a grade would be so serious that it would affect his brother and the entire Lujiazui!
"Well, I'll try to study hard?" Then he realized, "I've been studying hard! What can I do if I can't learn?"
Wen Wan said, "When I come to my senses, I will talk to your teacher about your situation."
Lu Donglin watched her retreat and said goodbye!
Xihe Elementary School continued its spring schedule from the previous year: morning exercises at 6:20 a.m., morning reading at 6:50 a.m., the first class starting at 7:30 a.m. after a half-hour reading, and the last class ending at 10:40 a.m. Classes resumed at 12:40 p.m., plus a 20-minute cleaning session, and ended promptly at 4:00 p.m.
Wen Wan was with Lu Donglin and the others. Soon, the group of children ran away, leaving Wen Wan alone walking on the road with two books in her arms.
Lu Dongping and his classmates almost ran to Lujiazui before stopping and running back. He had to wait for Sister Wen Wan all the way. How could he leave her alone on the road? This was her first time going to elementary school. What if she couldn't find the way back?
Not long after they got home, Lu Chun'e also came back. She didn't know that Wen Wan was substituting for a teacher at the elementary school yet, so she greeted Wen Wan, "Sister, you're back so early today!"
Wen Wan nodded: "It's quite early today."
Lu Donglin continued: "It will be this early in the future."
Lu Chun'e didn't understand, so she put down her book bag and lay down with them to do her homework.
Several children in the team were in the second grade and had all seen Wen Wan in the team. They spread the news in the team that the young educated youth Wen Wan was working as a substitute teacher in the elementary school.
The educated youth at the educated youth center did not know about this yet. Wen Wan returned to the center at dusk, holding the textbooks she brought back from school and the pen and notebook Lu Dongping bought for her.
Lu Chun'e and her brother bought straw paper and cut and sewed their own notebooks. Lu Dongping was particularly generous to Wen Wan. In addition to a Hero brand fountain pen, he also gave her two plastic-covered notebooks, one red and one blue.
Without letting anyone see, he coaxed Wen Wan into the house and gave it to her quietly.
Wen Wan took the thing he gave her and was stunned for a long time: "Why did you buy this for me? It's quite expensive." A pen costs five or six yuan, and the notebook is also expensive. Lu Dongping's monthly salary is only a dozen yuan. In this way, half a month's salary is wasted.
Lu Dongping touched her head and said, "It's quite expensive, but it will last a long time, so it's a good deal. You're a teacher now, how can a teacher be without a pen or a notebook?"
Wen Wan would not be without it. She had originally planned to go to the commune on Sunday to buy it herself, but Lu Dongping bought it for her first.
"I'll give you the money later."
Why would Lu Dongping want her money? He rescued her and took the opportunity to kiss her and said, "I don't want your money, I want you. Give it to me?"
Wen Wan nodded: "Give it to me, let's go get the certificate?"
This actually confused Lu Dongping: "Wanwan, what are you talking about? Say it again?"
Wen Wan suddenly changed her words: "I didn't say anything." She turned and ran out. She didn't say anything. She regretted it. She was too easy to coax. Just a pen and two notebooks made her even say something like getting a marriage certificate.
Lu Dongping was unwilling to give her a chance to change her words. He quickly pulled her back and closed the door with his foot. He pinched her slender waist and pressed his forehead against hers, his heart pounding wildly. "Wanwan, I heard you say you wanted to get the marriage certificate with me. You can't go back on your word."
Wen Wan pretended to be dead: "Can you pretend you didn't hear it?"
That was totally unacceptable. Not only could he not pretend not to hear it, he also wanted to hear Wen Wan say it formally again.
Wen Wan sighed: "You said you would get married after the house is repaired."
“But you can get the certificate first.”
Wen Wan continued to play tricks: "You said we should take it slow, but it hasn't even been half a year yet." Just like that, they're getting married? She's just talking nonsense when her mind is on fire. What the hell is this!
"Wanwan, good Wanwan, it's been half a year, it's almost killing me." He'd hugged her, kissed her, and for someone else, three or five would be enough time, let alone one wife. It wasn't that he couldn't wait, but with the little girl asking, he couldn't let the opportunity slip away.
"Then you can't keep your word."
Lu Dongping nodded: "My words are my bond. Let's find a time to go get the certificate. Let's get it first. You can still live in the educated youth camp and the house can still be repaired. We can continue as before. After the house is repaired and aired, and we get the furniture, we will hold the wedding."
After saying that, he thought for a while and said, "I'll go talk to my dad first. Let's make the furniture and prepare first. Once the house is built, the furniture can be built as well." Lu Dongping was so excited at the moment that he felt like he was floating in the air. He wished he could work overtime overnight to build the house so that he could hold a wedding and marry her tomorrow.
Wen Wan looked at him and poked his chest with her hand: "Don't be so anxious, aren't you going to be busy soon?"
She is not anxious, but Lu Dongping is. He is a young man in his twenties, a normal man. He looks at the girl he likes all day long, but he can see her but cannot touch her. How can he not be anxious?
"No matter how busy you are, it doesn't matter."
Wen Wan said: "Well, then wait a little longer. I'll wait for my father's reply. I wrote to him last time and I want to wait and see what he says in his letter."
Lu Dongping's heart was getting more and more unstable because of her. He held her tightly and refused to let go: "If your father doesn't agree..." These words made him feel nervous.
If they were closer, he would have tried his best to find a way to make the Wen family agree even if they didn't agree, but they were too far away and he was useless.
