Chapter 368 Educated Youth Sent Down to the Countryside in the 1960s (30)
"Alright, that's all for today's lesson. Now, a few words on a different topic. Your homeroom teacher, Ms. Su, and I share an office. If you have any questions, you can come to my office to find me. Oh, and class representative, please stand up so I can get to know you."
After the class representative sat down, the bell rang, and Jiang Yue picked up her book and said, "get out of class dismissed!"
With a goodbye to the teacher, Jiang Yue's first class came to an end. After returning to the office for a while, she felt that Teacher Su still approved of Jiang Yue and even tested her a few times. As for the leaders and teachers from other classes, Jiang Yue didn't know what they thought, so she decided to let things take their course.
After class, Jiang Yue couldn't go home yet because she was in charge of the evening self-study session. However, she wasn't in charge of Class 3, but Class 2. Oh no, Jiang Yue had never taught Class 2 before. After dinner, she went to the school library and borrowed a book to pass the time during the evening self-study session.
After evening self-study began, Jiang Yue went to the classroom. The students were talking about her arrival, but after answering a few questions, they calmed down. She also answered some questions for the students during the session.
After the second lesson began, Teacher Su was worried that Jiang Yue wouldn't be able to keep the class in check, so she came to patrol the area. Looking down from the podium, she could see everything clearly. There were no small actions that the teacher couldn't spot, only those that the teacher didn't want to expose.
Jiang Yue also followed the example of the veteran teachers. She would let small things slide, but if things got too noisy, she would go down to check and give them a warning. If they didn't listen, she would just make them stand at the back of the classroom for a while. After two evening self-study sessions, Jiang Yue's work for the day was done.
After school, the students were eager to go home, and Jiang Yue was eager to go home too. There was no way around it; the school food was really bad, and she had to find a way to adapt. Otherwise, she couldn't go hungry every day, from noon to night. Besides, bringing food from home wasn't practical; she couldn't eat well every day.
Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Yet another reason not to be a teacher. After returning home, Jiang Yue took out a chicken leg to satisfy her craving, and then cooked some dumplings and put them away. She would eat these for lunch tomorrow. She would ask Teacher Wen tomorrow if she could go home for lunch.
There was a history class the next morning, and Jiang Yue arrived at school early. This time it was the history class for Class 2. After the first class, she managed to get into Jiang Yue's class. Because of their encounter during the evening self-study session yesterday, today's class went very smoothly. After class, Jiang Yue had nothing to do today.
After class, I went back to my office and started drinking tea and reading the newspaper. At noon, I heated up some dumplings and ate them. After resting for a while at noon, I read for several more hours, this time in Russian. Jiang Yue plans to get involved when SL disintegrates, so it is necessary to prepare in advance.
After getting home in the evening, I cooked a big meal. Now that I have a job and a source of income, I don't have to worry about others seeing or reporting me if I eat well every day.
After about half a month, Jiang Yue had become very familiar with the teaching tasks. She had memorized the textbook content and had also established a model for the students in the class. She knew the learning progress of each student very well, and as long as nothing unexpected happened, the students' scores in the next exam would definitely improve significantly.
Jiang Yue has no classes this weekend, and she doesn't need to be at the office, so she can have a full weekend. Yao Ling couldn't get in touch with anyone, so she had no choice but to ask a college classmate to go out with her. This classmate knows all the good places to eat in Beijing, and the two of them often went out to eat together when they were in school.
Jiang Yue didn't go home until late at night after playing all day. She was so tired that she went to bed early. She woke up at 5 a.m. the next morning. It had become her biological clock.
I didn't want to eat tofu or soy milk today, but I had all the ingredients for making spicy soup, so I made my own spicy soup and tofu pudding. I made just the right amount, enough for one person with nothing left over and no waste.
I had a seafood feast for lunch, which I ate secretly inside the Wizard's Tower. For dinner, I'll have something light, like a bowl of tomato and egg noodles. I'll remember to eat this during my two-day holiday.
For the next few months, Jiang Yue went to work as usual. Four classes a week plus two evening self-study sessions were quite easy. However, this only lasted for two months. At the end of April, the original history teacher went home to have a baby. From the end of April to the summer vacation in July, Jiang Yue was in charge of all four classes.
Having four classes at once meant I had classes every day, but it was still much easier than what Teacher Wang and Teacher Su did. Thinking about it this way comforted me a little. I continued to teach these four classes until mid-July, and I was finally free after the final exams.
Having already experienced one midterm exam, Jiang Yue wasn't flustered at all. During the exams, she would invigilate when there was one available, and when there wasn't, she would stay in the office grading papers. Even after the students went on holiday, Jiang Yue was still at school, grading papers for several days and holding meetings for several days. The holiday was delayed by about a week before the students officially started their break.
The day before leaving school, Jiang Yue got a letter of introduction from the school. She planned to go on a trip. The letter of introduction listed Hangzhou and Shaoxing as the destinations. These days, when people travel, they just want to see the scenery and eat some delicious food. As for anything else, they shouldn't think about it.
The next day, Jiang Yue bought a train ticket to Hangzhou. Fortunately, she managed to get a hard sleeper. Although it was a bit expensive, sitting in a hard seat for 30 hours would be too much of a hardship. Before leaving, she told Yao Ling and the others not to look for her too often during this period, so as not to make a wasted trip.
After garnering their envy and jealousy, Jiang Yue packed her luggage and set off. There wasn't much stuff in her suitcase; aside from some clothes and receipts, the most valuable item was a camera. She had put the letter of introduction in her spatial storage, as it would be quite troublesome if it were lost now.
Before leaving, Jiang Yue changed into a set of clothes transformed from her magic robes. One reason was to regulate the temperature, and the other was to filter the smell of the air. These days, trains don't have air conditioning and rely entirely on the windows for ventilation. When it's hot and there are many people, you can imagine the smell.
After closing all the doors and windows, Jiang Yue checked everything again. She also emptied the refrigerator, otherwise it would be troublesome if the power went out that day. It wouldn't matter if the food broke, but she was afraid that the refrigerator would also become unusable. After locking the front door, Jiang Yue put the key in her pocket, or rather, she put it in her spatial storage. She glanced at it and then walked towards the bus stop.
The bus arrived just as I got to the bus stop, which was great. When I got to the train station, it was still early, with an hour before departure. There was no boarding yet, and I hadn't eaten breakfast. There were food stalls at the station entrance. After I finished eating, I went inside and they started boarding.
Jiang Yue followed the crowd and queued up. Although traveling wasn't very convenient these days, there were still a lot of people. After boarding the train, Jiang Yue headed towards the carriage where she had bought her ticket. Before boarding, Jiang Yue had already removed the mask from her clothes because she had already seen people covering their noses.
