Chapter 12 Silly Boy
Every teacher hates students who don't follow the rules and don't play by the rules, especially those troublemakers who disrupt class order.
In Mr. Luo's eyes, Li Ye at this moment is this kind of annoying "troublemaker".
The adjustment of students from three classes to one class is already in an unstable state. If Xia Yue, the former monitor of Class 1, is not suitable to be the monitor, then no matter who replaces her, the class order will become more chaotic.
If it were any other time, Mr. Luo would have taken Li Ye out for a "good talk" by now, to let him know that the intellectuals' iron fist is no pushover.
But it’s not possible now, because Li Ye questioned Xia Yue’s qualifications as squad leader on the grounds of “lack of moral character”.
The word "moral character" has become an important criterion these days and can even be associated with "traitor".
Haven’t you seen the villains in the movies? They are all scum with corrupt character?
"What evidence do you have to prove that Xia Yue's character does not meet the standards of a class monitor?"
Mr. Luo spoke coldly, giving Li Ye a chance to explain.
Li Ye said calmly: "Xia Yue used her position as a class leader to secretly take away her classmates' mail parcels and letters, and opened her mail without the knowledge of the recipients, and detained her letters.
If there is urgent information in the letter, or if there are valuables in the parcel, how much harm and loss will Xia Yue's behavior cause to the recipient?"
"Doesn't she know that it is illegal to open other people's mail?
Why would a student be so bold? Why would he be so casual?
I think it is because Xia Yue, as the class monitor, has a desire for power over his classmates, which has led to a lack of morality. "
“.”
The whole class was dumbfounded. They didn't understand why Li Ye could link a seemingly small matter to crime and moral deficiency?
But if you think about it carefully, every word Li Ye said is reasonable and impeccable.
Xia Yue got anxious and argued with Li Ye: "I just helped you get the emails and letters back. This is a favor between classmates. You are framing me."
"I framed you?"
Li Ye sneered and said, "Didn't you open my mail package and look through the books that others sent to me?"
Xia Yue argued with an unpleasant expression: "I was helping you and studying together. As classmates, we should help each other."
Li Ye interrupted forcefully, "You just need to answer whether you opened my package or not. Any other reason is just a lie imposed on the surface of the essence."
“.”
Xia Yue was speechless and could not utter a word.
How can you argue when the evidence is irrefutable?
Teacher Luo took a glance at Xia Yue and knew what was going on.
This kind of thing can be big or small. At the very least, it is the curiosity of classmates who open other people's parcels to satisfy their own desire to pry into others' privacy. At the most serious level, it is school bullying.
Thinking about the recent rumors about "Huang Shiren" in the school and the large batch of affordable grain that the school logistics department had just obtained, Teacher Luo couldn't help but feel a headache.
In those days, food was still supplied. If there was a big-bellied man or a boy in the family, there would definitely not be enough food. If you wanted to eat your fill, you had to buy high-priced food outside the plan.
His grandfather just helped you solve a problem, and his grandson immediately encountered school bullying. What are you trying to do?
Holding the emperor hostage to order you. Holding the grandson hostage to order his grandfather?
Damn, is that something humans do?
"Both of you please sit down! I will investigate this matter as soon as possible, but no matter what conflicts you have, you must not delay the students' class."
Teacher Luo glared at Xia Yue fiercely, then walked out.
Xia Yue sat down in a daze, and even when Teacher Ke walked up to the podium, she didn't even shout "Stand up".
Teacher Ke didn't care and picked up the chalk and wrote his name on the blackboard, Ke Zhiyu.
"Hello everyone, my name is Ke Zhiyu. From now on, I will be teaching English to you all. Please turn to page 18 and read along with me."
Xia Yue just woke up at this time. She was annoyed and a feeling of unwillingness suddenly rushed to her head.
[A person with connections who failed every subject has the qualifications to question me? Do you think you can get into university by making accusations?
Do you know how to study? Do you know what English is? You are a poor student and will always be a poor student. The teacher will eventually understand who is the one who can bring honor to the school. 】
Xia Yue turned around and glared at Li Ye fiercely, then opened her book and sat up straight, ready to show the teacher her strength as an excellent student.
In this era of extremely low admission rates, every student who has the potential to be admitted to university is a treasure of the school and has hidden privileges. Even if Teacher Luo wants to remove her as class monitor, other teachers will speak on Xia Yue's behalf.
In the English class, Xia Yue is absolutely confident.
After Lu Jingyao was admitted to Beijing University of Foreign Studies, Xia Yue, as her best friend, found Lu Jingyao immediately, got Lu Jingyao's English learning notes, and humbly asked for all her "learning tips".
Xia Yue studied quietly at home for several months and her English level improved by leaps and bounds. Now she says she is the second best English learner in her class and no one dares to claim to be the first.
You have to know that it is 1981. A few years ago, there were no English classes in junior high and high schools, and English was never included in the total score of the college entrance examination. Small places like Qingshui County did not attach importance to English at all.
It was not until this year that the schools began to take it seriously after receiving the notice that the English score in next year's college entrance examination would be included in 50% of the total score.
The teaching staff of the County No. 2 Middle School is weak. There was no dedicated English teacher before, and English classes were taught by two other teachers. The rustic English they spoke sounded quite funny.
In comparison, Xia Yue's English level is unique at the moment, and she believes that Teacher Ke on the podium will be able to liking her as a "good horse" at first sight.
"THE MONKEY AND THE CROCODILE"
“One day a little monkey was playing in ”
As soon as Teacher Ke opened his mouth at the podium, Li Ye was surprised.
This teacher Ke has something!
In his previous life, Li Ye had studied English very hard and had listened to countless original English materials.
Although he has not yet said that he can appreciate the mysterious "beauty of English", he can tell whether the pronunciation is beautiful or not by hearing it.
Mr. Ke’s pronunciation level seems to be much better than his English teacher in college.
Comparing the pronunciation of the two English teachers at the County No. 2 Middle School a few days ago, it was really like the gap between the national radio announcer and the village committee loudspeaker.
"THE MONKEY AND THE CROCODILE"
“One day a little monkey was playing in ”
The students in Class 1 began to follow along, and Xia Yue's voice was particularly loud. Compared with her, the voices of the other students seemed so "weak".
Li Ye had no intention of laughing at them. After all, their level of English education was not even as good as that of fourth graders in later generations. Speaking English dumbly was a common phenomenon among them, and only a few of them could muster up the courage to read aloud.
Li Ye followed Teacher Ke in reading the text quietly, not showing off or trying to stand out, but the difference was too great and he still attracted the attention of his new classmates at the same table.
Wen Leyu glanced at Li Ye quietly, his autumn-water eyes filled with a hint of surprise.
More than a year ago, she and her mother lived in a shabby house in Liuqiao Township Primary School, leading a poor and idle life, until one day, a teacher named Lu came to their house with gifts and asked her mother to teach his daughter English.
In fact, the mother was reluctant at first, as she didn’t want to cause any trouble. But Wen Leyu just looked at the bag of White Rabbit milk candy and swallowed a few times, and the mother immediately agreed.
The next day, Wen Leyu met Lu Jingyao and another person - Li Ye, who brought Lu Jingyao here.
Lu Jingyao has a kind personality and studies very hard. It only took her a short time to win her mother's love.
But Li Ye was not so good. He looked a little silly and most of the time he was staring at Lu Jingyao in a daze instead of focusing on his studies.
Later, the mother said that the boy was either here to study or to accompany Lu Jingyao, and he might not be able to get into university.
However, Wen Leyu and her mother did not dislike Li Ye, because Li Ye would bring some scarce goods such as sugar, meat, rice and noodles every now and then, and he was very considerate and pointed out that according to the rules in the countryside, students should pay for the teachers' meals.
Although Li Ye would eat with Lu Jingyao after the meal was cooked, they could hardly finish it and gave most of it to Wen Leyu and her daughter.
Later, perhaps because Li Ye's English grades did not improve much, he turned his energy to the subjects that were counted towards the college entrance examination scores and rarely went to Wen Leyu's house for tutoring.
However, all kinds of daily necessities have never been out of stock.
Until one day, Wen Leyu's mother quietly asked Li Ye: "What would you do if Lu Jingyao got into college and you didn't?"
At that time, Li Ye smiled and said, "We are engaged! What else can we do?"
Wen Leyu still remembers Li Ye’s expression at that time. It was not the kind of masculine arrogance of a male chauvinist, but an indescribable calm and satisfaction.
Wen Leyu's mother said that it was the expectation of happiness.
But this expectation may not necessarily bear fruit.
Wen Leyu was not very clear about what happened afterwards. Her mother said that it was difficult to say who was right or wrong in such matters, but she believed that the boy in front of her was let down by Lu Jingyao.
Especially after having a deep understanding of the college entrance examination, I feel even more sad for Li Ye's infatuation.
The college entrance examination is becoming more and more difficult. It seems that the admission rate has not changed much, but for Li Ye, who has average talent, the possibility of passing the exam and going to Beijing to find Lu Jingyao is getting smaller and smaller.
But just now, when Wen Leyu heard Li Ye reciting the text, he subconsciously had a thought.
[He was actually studying English well? He changed so much for his beloved lover?]
Wen Leyu was reciting the text fluently while his thoughts were wandering, and he would occasionally glance at Li Ye unconsciously.
But when she took a third glance, she found that Li Ye was looking at her quietly.
