"Du Chen, what's going on? Are you my brother's teacher?"
After everyone sat on the sofa and benches, Liu Mingshan finally asked his question.
"Yes, that's right. I'm your brother's Chinese teacher."
Du Chen answered Liu Mingshan with a sly smile.
"Fuck, you're already at work!"
Liu Mingshan asked Du Chen in disbelief.
Du Chen was quite outrageous when he was in elementary school. I didn’t expect that he would still be so outrageous when he grew up.
"Well, I just graduated from college this year and returned to our alma mater to teach."
Du Chen said in a calm tone.
"What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
Liu Mingshan couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Du Chen impatiently.
"It's nothing, actually. I skipped a grade in junior high after transferring to another school, and later was admitted to Beijing Normal University. This year, as a junior, I came out for an internship and was admitted directly back to our alma mater. Now I am your brother's Chinese teacher."
Du Chen spoke of his experience lightly, but it made one feel offended no matter how one listened to it. It was so hateful.
“…”
Liu Mingshan looked at Du Chen speechlessly and asked, "Listen, is this what people are saying?"
"What about you?"
Liu Mingshan asked the other three classmates curiously.
Liu Yi and others also briefly talked about their experiences.
"Hey, it seems I have the lowest education level. I joined the army right after finishing junior high school."
Liu Mingshan felt a little regretful. He didn't feel anything at ordinary times, but when he compared himself with his classmates, he felt inferior.
"Tsk, just give up now. At least back at the railway station, you can have a stable income, and the monthly salary is not low. You work and earn money, but we still have to go to school and ask for money from our family!"
Liu Yi comforted Liu Mingshan in a different way.
"By the way, why are you here today?"
Liu Mingshan asked Du Chen and the others curiously again.
"First, to send Liu Yi, Liu Hui, and Wang Luqi home. Second, to come and chat with you old classmates. Third, for a home visit!"
Du Chen's words were rather subtle, but in fact the most important reason was to come for a home visit, to be a rude person, and to satisfy his own bad taste.
"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. How does my brother usually perform in school?"
Liu Mingshan asked Du Chen curiously. Although he was not good at studying, he did not want his younger brother to do poorly in study. If Liu Mingkai was disobedient in school, he would let his younger brother Liu Mingkai know what it meant to have love from an older brother.
Looking at Liu Mingshan's expression, Du Chen smiled again. He would also let Liu Mingkai understand what it meant to have love from a teacher, and what it meant to have love from his brother, classmates, and his own teacher.
"By the way, why hasn't your brother come to get his homework yet? Did he run away?"
Liu Yi raised his eyebrows. They had been chatting for a while, but no one showed up yet.
"I'll go over and take a look!"
As soon as Liu Mingshan stood up, he prepared to go to the cabin to see what his dear brother was doing.
"Wait, let's do it together and keep our voices down!"
Du Chen made some guesses and waved his hand to signal everyone to keep their voices down.
When he arrived at the cabin, as expected, the door was closed. Liu Mingshan tiptoed and opened the door gently without making any noise.
When everyone opened the door, they saw a primary school student sitting at a desk writing furiously. Everyone immediately understood what he was doing. Doesn't this mean he was doing his homework?
Du Chen and Liu Mingshan tiptoed up behind Liu Mingkai and saw a notebook spread out on the table with scribbles on it.
“On January 8th, the weather was cloudy.
The weather is gloomy today, and it's probably going to snow soon. We've already started our holiday, and left my favorite school..."
Seeing this, Liu Mingshan felt embarrassed. This kid, he didn't even feel embarrassed when he lied. Going to school every morning was like a death sentence for him, but he started bragging in his diary, even about leaving his favorite school...
"Student Liu Mingkai, what are you doing?"
Du Chen gently patted Liu Mingkai's shoulder.
Liu Mingkai was startled by the sudden appearance of Du Chen and his brother Liu Mingshan, and his pen was pulled out in a long line.
"Oh, Liu Mingkai, why are you so careless? It seems that you need to rewrite this diary. Didn't I teach you that papers must be neat? And why is your handwriting so sloppy?"
Liu Mingkai looked at the rude Chinese teacher in front of him with trembling lips, wanting to burst into tears, but when he looked at his brother's clenched fist beside him, he knew that his brother's iron fist was no joke, so he could only suppress the grievance and dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Teacher Du, I understand! I will rewrite it."
"Come, let the teacher see!"
Du Chen continued to smile and reached out to take Liu Mingkai's diary, but Liu Mingkai held it down with his hand, not wanting to give it to Du Chen.
"Xiao Kai!"
Liu Mingshan spoke calmly, and Liu Mingkai saw his brother's clenched fist again. Liu Mingkai could only reluctantly let go and handed the diary to Du Chen.
Du Chen flipped through the previous two entries. They were pretty good and he had put quite a bit of effort into it. He had already written five or six entries, except for the last three or four days.
This means that Liu Mingshan did do his homework after the final exam. He probably wanted to finish his winter vacation homework as soon as possible. Just like them back then, he was most energetic right after the vacation and wanted to finish his winter vacation homework early so that he could have fun throughout the vacation.
But everyone is the same, with a short-lived enthusiasm. They finish the homework for the first ten days of the holiday during the three days of vacation, and then start to give up. Finally, they burn the midnight oil to finish the remaining three quarters of the holiday homework three days before school starts.
"I was doing pretty well up front! But I just couldn't hold on to the end!"
Du Chen praised the other person, but of course also pointed out his faults.
Du Chen came here just to satisfy his own bad taste, certainly not to let his students get beaten. Of course, if they were particularly excessive, it would not be unacceptable to let their parents or brothers and sisters beat them up.
Liu Mingshan and Liu Mingkai breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Fortunately, everyone was able to save face. Otherwise, Liu Mingshan was really going to let his younger brother accept his brother's love with his skin.
"But..."
Du Chen's next move made Liu Mingkai's heart hang in the balance again, and Liu Mingshan clenched his fists again.
"Du Chen, what's wrong?"
Liu Mingshan asked Du Chen.
"Your brother's handwriting is a bit ugly!"
Liu Mingshan's ears turned red after hearing this. It seemed that his handwriting was not much better than his brother's.
“It’s a bit ugly!”
However, for the sake of his own face, Liu Mingshan also nodded and commented on his brother's calligraphy.
Liu Mingkai looked at his brother in shock. When had his brother become so shameless? How could he have the nerve to say his handwriting was ugly? Aren't we all the same?
Liu Mingkai moved his lips slightly as if he wanted to speak, but seeing his brother's threatening eyes and clenched fists, Liu Mingkai resigned himself to his fate and shut up.
"How about this..."
