"Mom, I'm going to school," Chu Yu called out.
Deng Fangping instructed, "Come back for dinner early."
Chu Yu responded and went to the gate to greet the old man. The old man's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he pointed at her and shouted, "Zhou! Little champion! Our Dezhong's little champion! Right? I haven't mistaken you for someone else, have I?"
Chu Yu smiled and shook his head, "Grandpa, the homeroom teacher asked me to give an experience-sharing session to the younger students, so I have to go in."
Visits are prohibited at the German-Chinese School. Moreover, while other schools are on holiday, the senior students at the German-Chinese School are still secretly holding extra classes. Today is already the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, and they still haven't started their holiday. If this gets back to the Education Bureau, the school will be criticized.
Chu Yu contacted Zhang Zhihe half a month ago. At that time, she wanted to wish her teacher a happy new year in advance. After all, when she went back to her hometown, Teacher Zhang would definitely be on holiday at home for the New Year, and the two of them might not be able to meet.
Teacher Zhang then asked her to give a speech.
"The teacher knows you're smart and haven't been putting in 100% effort in your studies, but you can't say that to your younger schoolmates. You have to tell them that hard work leads to good results! You have to study hard to get into a prestigious university! And also, intelligence isn't important, what matters is hard work... In short, you have to encourage your younger schoolmates. Our school's undergraduate enrollment rate next year depends on you."
Chu Yu's admission to Tsinghua University made Dezhong University of Science and Technology shine brightly.
The education bureau chief was giving them a pep talk, and the principals were also hyped up. They were all working hard, and the teachers below them had no choice but to follow suit.
I've been using it for several years, and the results are quite good.
Led by Teacher Zhang, the teachers have also developed a unique teaching method, which is why the school's college entrance examination pass rate is getting higher and higher every year.
This year, the principal simply didn't allow holidays, holding make-up classes until the day before the Lunar New Year, and continuing classes on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, using time to bridge the educational gap, hoping that local students could all achieve good results.
"Teacher Zhang." Chu Yu went directly to the teacher's office.
After two and a half years away, the Chinese language office at Dezhong Middle School remained unchanged. Famous quotes hung on the mottled walls, and landscapes and lotus flowers were drawn on the blackboard behind the office, along with some motivational quotes copied down.
The teacher's chalk handwriting is very good, which is a basic skill of veteran teachers in this era. Any teacher who can't write well on the chalk will be ridiculed.
Zhang Zhihe was engrossed in grading homework. Several years had passed, and Zhang Zhihe's hair had thinned considerably, but his complexion was gentle, he had gained a lot of weight, and his clothes were much cleaner than when he was single.
Chu Yu couldn't help but smile, "Teacher Zhang!"
Zhang Zhihe pushed up his glasses and looked up. When he saw Zhou Chuyu, he jumped up. "Zhou Chuyu! You're back? Oh, Zhou Chuyu is back, my prized student! The top student from Tsinghua University!"
The teacher who passed by was new and had heard rumors about this student, but this was the first time he had ever met him.
"Zhou Chuyu? He's the first student from our school to get into Tsinghua University?"
"That's right! It's her! This young lady is so young, beautiful, and academically excellent. And that's not all; she owns several companies in Beijing—clothing, cosmetics, restaurants… That famous TV series 'The Businesswoman' was written by her sister, and it was later adapted into a TV series. I heard that all the costumes in it were provided by Chu Yu Company! She's only a junior in college this year, and she's already achieved so much in her early twenties. Don't you think she's amazing?!"
Zhang Zhihe's boastful words made Chu Yu cover her face in embarrassment. "Teacher Zhang, that's too much. If you keep praising me like that, I'll have to crawl into a hole in the ground."
The new teacher smiled and stared at Chu Yu several times. "You're just too outstanding. Not only are you beautiful, but you're also very capable. You have no idea how much Teacher Zhang likes you. He praises you to us every day; we're sick of hearing it. And that's not all. He also often mentions you to the other students. If any student misbehaves, he'll bring you up, saying that none of you students can compare to your senior, Chu Yu! You can't compare at all!"
The new teacher's performance was so vivid that Chu Yu never expected that even after she graduated, legends about her would still be circulating in Dezhong.
Even more unexpectedly, she tormented her junior classmates to this extent.
What a sin!
Teacher Zhang laughed at her teasing, "Then tell me, did I praise you wrong?"
"How could you praise her wrongly? You're being modest. This girl is a million times more beautiful than you described. Look at how you described her back then! I asked you what Zhou Chuyu looked like, and you said she had fair skin, big eyes, was pretty, and polite... These adjectives are completely unoriginal. You should have said she had skin like cream, was stunningly beautiful, and had fair skin and a beautiful face."
The female teacher smiled, wishing she could take Chu Yu home like a porcelain doll and cherish her.
Zhang Zhihe said, "I'm just a math teacher, what kind of adjectives do you expect me to know? I can't compare to you eloquent language arts teachers! Alright, Teacher Qiu, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm taking my child to class so she can encourage her classmates and let everyone meet senior Chu Yu!"
The teachers from other classes were filled with envy and jealousy!
But what could they do? Chu Yu was Zhang Zhihe's class darling; they couldn't take her away. They could only blame themselves for not being able to produce a top scorer in the college entrance examination, or a student who could get into Tsinghua University!
Zhang Zhihe is really lucky!
Zhang Zhihe was overjoyed when he saw the looks on the other teachers' faces.
Today is a holiday, but he will hold a class meeting in the next period to talk about some things to note during the holiday.
"Don't show your face for a while, keep it a bit mysterious. I'll go in and say a few words, then you can open the door and come in."
Teacher Zhang even enjoys the ritual aspect.
Chu Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll follow your instructions."
When Zhang Zhihe walked into the classroom, the students looked up and saw him, and they couldn't help but jump for joy.
