When the new semester started, the female students quickly noticed that there was a young male teacher in the school.
Unlike the unripe potato boys in the class, he was tall and had a deep voice that made people blush when he spoke;
Unlike other male teachers in the school who pretend to be deep, he is a little gloomy, but his eyes are clear, and his every move is like a breeze.
“Here it comes, here it comes!”
There was a small commotion in the cafeteria. Wu Xin came over to get his lunch box. A brave girl ran over, bowed, and called out crisply, "Hello, Teacher Wu!"
Wu Xin was slightly stunned, then smiled faintly and said, "Hello, classmate."
There was another burst of snickering at the back.
"Teacher Wu, you have become the dream of thousands of girls now that you are here!" Zhao Meiying joked as she asked him to sit down.
"Teacher Zhao is really good at joking."
Wu Xin sat down and opened his lunch box. Zhao Meiying leaned over to take a look and said sarcastically, "Oh, what's wrong with our Qiuhua? Are you worried that you'll starve in the cafeteria? Look at this big chicken drumstick!"
"Teacher Zhao, hurry up and eat. Look, Teacher Wu is almost losing her appetite because of your laughter."
Sitting next to Zhao Meiying was the mathematics teacher Chen Xuefeng, and Wu Xin nodded to him.
"Hey, hey, hey, look, Teacher Wu sits up straight even when eating!"
"He's so white, whiter than a shaved boar!"
"What nonsense! How can you compare Teacher Wu to a boar? You're so uneducated!"
"You are educated, then you can speak!"
"Teacher Chen Xuefeng is not bad either. Although he's a little shorter and darker, he looks more refined and cultured."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I think you said that because you like Teacher Chen. I support Teacher Wu!"
"I support Teacher Wu too!"
“…”
Zhao Meiying couldn't stand the choking of her food anymore. She stood up and frowned, saying, "You have nothing to do, right? Go eat!"
The female students were most afraid of Teacher Zhao. As soon as she spoke, the little sparrows that were chirping just now immediately scattered.
Wu Xin was in the same office with them, along with an older teacher named Wang, making a total of four people.
It is said that Teacher Wang had lung disease in his early years. He had to clear his throat every once in a while and would cough after speaking a few words. Sometimes he coughed so hard that he was out of breath, and only felt better after spitting out a mouthful of phlegm out the window.
Zhao Meiying is the only female comrade in the office and also the one who loves cleanliness the most. She lives in dire straits every day.
However, because they were all colleagues, Zhao Meiying never showed any dissatisfaction. As soon as she got home, she poured everything out to Xu Guoqing. He was very patient and would give some suggestions from time to time.
"How about you talk to the principal and ask for a different office?"
"I'll buy you a bottle of toilet water. Sprinkle some on the ground."
"If he coughs, go outside."
All of these were rejected by Zhao Meiying one by one, and every dinner would still be filled with her dissatisfaction and complaints and Xu Guoqing's kind advice.
After dinner, the three of them returned to the office together. Before they entered the office, they heard another burst of violent coughing.
“Cough cough cough… cough cough cough…”
Zhao Meiying's expression changed. She stood at the door, not wanting to go in. Wu Xin looked inside and said, "It's still early. Teacher Zhao, go take a walk around the campus."
"Yes, yes, I can't digest my food and my stomach feels uncomfortable. I'm going to take a walk."
"Tell me, is this the right thing for you to do? You're being a hooligan! Ahem…"
When the two walked into the office, they found a male student there and Teacher Wang was scolding him.
"Speak! Speak for yourself!"
Teacher Wang looked very angry. He started coughing after just a few words, his face flushed and he was having trouble breathing.
"I didn't do anything..."
"What do you mean you didn't do anything? Cough cough cough, what do you want to do!" He grabbed the bamboo stick on the table and hit the male classmate.
The sound of "pa pa" was so strong that one could tell it was done with great force. The boy didn't make a sound. Wu Xin glanced at him and saw that he was still smiling, as if he didn't feel any pain at all.
"I just wanted to lift it up to take a look, but I couldn't see anything. She was wearing shorts."
"You, you, you! Cough cough cough..."
"Hey, Teacher Wang, she didn't lose any meat. Don't get excited, or you'll get sick from coughing!"
Teacher Wang raised his bamboo stick and lashed him a few more times, cursing, "Qian Jin, if Li Lihong's family finds out about this, I'll break your legs!"
"Bang--" As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuefeng suddenly stood up, and the teacup next to him fell to the ground and shattered, and tea leaves mixed with water splashed all over the floor.
Qian Jin has this old bad habit. He is dishonest and always likes to touch female students. He is often called into the office and punished, and everyone is used to it.
Chen Xuefeng hurriedly tried to pick up the broken pieces of the cup and accidentally cut his hand.
Wu Xin brought over a broom from outside to sweep the floor. He took it gratefully and said, "Thank you, I'll do it myself."
During dinner in the evening, Zhao Meiying came to play with Qiuhua, and Wu Xin was there too.
"Qiuhua, try this." Zhao Meiying brought over a bowl of sweetened taro.
Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, which is the time to eat sweet taro. Generally, you need to add some alkali when cooking sweet taro to make it delicious. After adding alkali, the color of the taro will become darker. If it is too dark, it will taste bitter, and if it is too light, it will not be fragrant.
The color of Zhao Meiying's bowl was neither dark nor light, and it looked delicious. Qiuhua couldn't wait to pick up one and put it in his mouth.
Qiuhua loves to eat sweet taro, but peeling the taro often makes her hands red and itchy. Even though she likes to eat it, she doesn't mention it.
"Tomorrow is a holiday, let's go buy some taro," said Wu Xin.
"Don't buy any more. I've only had one bowl. It's enough for me." Qiuhua took a sip of the sugar water and it was indeed delicious.
"Okay, okay, I don't know how much you can eat taro." Zhao Meiying propped up her chin and said, "You just feel sorry for him peeling taro."
Qiuhua smiled embarrassedly but did not deny it.
"Look at our beloved teacher Wu! We girls would never have guessed how eagerly she would peel taro for others."
Wu Xin finished his meal and collected his bowl, saying, "They never expected that our teacher Zhao would come home and complain about teacher Wang every day."
"You! Qiuhua, look, he's even being mean to others!" Zhao Meiying widened her eyes.
Qiuhua was caught in the middle and kept laughing. Since Wu Xin became a substitute teacher, he has become more talkative than before.
"You did the same thing when a female classmate wrote to him last time!" Zhao Meiying said with a pout.
"I didn't hit him, haha. I gave him thirty lashes."
After these words were spoken, the two of them burst into laughter again. Zhao Meiying said, "You don't know, originally it was Chen Xuefeng who received the letter, but now there is no share for him, it's all your Wu Xin's."
Qiu Hua smiled and patted her. Wu Xin came out of the kitchen and asked, "Do you know which students used to deliver letters to Chen Xuefeng?"
Zhao Meiying was startled by his serious tone, and after thinking carefully, she said, "Not many, just a few, I just wrote them for fun.
However, there was one girl who wrote several letters in a row, and was later pulled into Chen Xuefeng's office for a talk.
