"Everyone, line up quickly. Two rows of girls stand in the front row, and one row of boys. Line up according to height. Two-minute countdown, start!"

When the physical education teacher blew the whistle, everyone moved quickly and found their positions very consciously. Some people were busy and didn't know what to do.

There was such a person in the girls' team. After Shen Zhizhu saw her, he felt that she was a good match for him, so he went over and took her hand.

"Come to my place."

Then he sent her to a place three people away from him, and then quickly returned to his own position.

There were fewer people on the boys' side, and not many troublemakers, but there were also some headless flies milling around, feeling that this place was not right, and that standing there was not right either, and their faces were as red as monkeys' butts.

Fortunately, someone stepped forward to give the command, and everyone worked together to complete the target within two minutes.

"Not bad, you know how to help each other and completed it within the specified time. I won't lead you in exercise today. I believe Teacher Zhou has asked you to introduce yourselves to each other, so I don't need to introduce you again."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they didn't need to introduce themselves, and the girls smiled when they heard that they didn't need to run exercises.

"Let me introduce myself first. My last name is Wang. You can call me Teacher Wang from now on. I am in charge of your physical education course at school. In my class, I don't want you to be lazy or wear slippers or skirts. Otherwise, you can run 2,000 meters in whatever you wear."

Teacher Wang's voice was deep and powerful, and when he spoke in anger, it could make people's chests feel shaky, not to mention that he was speaking so loudly at this time, which made people feel even more scared.

"Is everything clear now?"

"I heard you!"

Teacher Wang put his hands behind his back and looked at the group of people.

"This is our first meeting, so I don't want to be too harsh and leave a bad impression on you. I saw that some of the boys were wearing slippers, and some of the girls were wearing skirts and shoes that rubbed their feet and were not suitable for running at all."

"This is the first time, so forget it, but I hope it will be the last time. In this class, I emphasized that if anyone knowingly commits the same mistake again in the future, don't blame me for being rude."

Some of the girls in skirts were shy and lowered their heads, clutching their skirts with their hands, at a loss.

Teacher Wang didn't want to be so serious and make everyone afraid of him, so he paused and then changed his tone to a gentler one.

"Okay, please take your seats. This is the first class. Although you don't need to introduce yourself, the teacher doesn't know you yet. So, I will start calling the roll. Students whose names are called, please come up and perform a talent show to deepen your impression."

"ah--"

Everyone sighed, and someone whispered.

"It's better to introduce yourself."

"Teacher Wang, have you forgotten that many people here are from the countryside? How would they know how to perform any talent? They have been working in the fields since they were born. How could they have any talent? Are you going to let them show everyone how to farm? Hahahaha."

"puff--"

Yu Yaner's sarcastic voice interrupted Teacher Wang who was about to call the roll. Her words made many people from wealthy families who had never worked in the fields laugh in agreement.

They felt that although Yu Yan'er was sometimes overbearing, what she said was sometimes quite right.

Teacher Wang looked unhappy.

"This classmate, a hero does not care where he comes from. They cannot change their origins, but they can control their own future. Everyone has unlimited possibilities. You should not laugh at them."

Yu Yan'er had no common sense at all and thought that what she said was right. Even after being refuted by Teacher Wang, she did not change her opinion.

"Did I say anything wrong? I was clearly thinking about those people. If I didn't have any talent, I would just stand there and make people laugh. Don't let this hurt their fragile self-esteem."

What Yu Yan'er said was true. When they were young, they had to help with housework as soon as they opened their eyes. Naturally, they had no time to learn any talents.

"It's a joke. We grew up in the fields. Climbing trees is a talent. We can make sounds with leaves picked from the roadside. We can even whistle simple tunes. Farming is a rare talent. Singing folk songs while herding cattle and sheep is a talent. Knowing the names of many stars is a talent. And so on. It's just that some talents are not convenient to show. It doesn't mean that children from rural areas can't do anything. It's just that the direction and types of skills are different."

In her previous life, someone had laughed at her background. It took her a long time to figure out that it was because the other party couldn't find any way to attack her.

So the purpose of bringing up one's background is to suppress oneself, thereby improving one's own status and that inexplicable sense of superiority.

But if a sense of superiority and self-confidence needs to be gained by suppressing others, is it still superiority or self-confidence?

In her opinion, it is just a means to cover up her own shortcomings and inferiority.

"Okay! Well said, Shen Zhizhu, you will be my idol from now on, and I will like you forever!"

Shen Zhizhu was shocked. Isn't this the girl who didn't know where to stand? She was so shy and introverted just now that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. How come her voice can be so loud now?

“Pah pah pah pah—”

Teacher Wang led the applause. She knew this student, whose name was Shen Zhizhu. Teacher Zhou praised this child for his talent in design.

Unexpectedly, he was also very insightful in terms of how to behave as a human being. He felt relieved in his heart that he was a good child.

"This classmate is right. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and weaknesses may not necessarily become strengths in a lifetime. Don't underestimate yourself. The teacher also came from a small place, but over the years, through his own efforts, he has established a firm foothold in Beijing."

"The teacher believes that you, who are young and passionate, can become the pillars of the country and society and become a better version of yourself. However, you should not forget your roots. No matter what your background is, it should not be used as a weapon to attack others. I hope that student will be more careful with his or her words in the future."

After Teacher Wang finished speaking, he opened his roll call book.

"Okay, enough talking, let's start calling the roll now. No matter what talent you have, even reciting a poem, it's all fine, but if you really can't let go, sorry, the teacher won't force you."

As someone who has gone through this age group himself, Teacher Wang understands some of the shyness of students.

"The first one, Chen Jianjun, is a boy. Come on, come up, don't be shy."
