Chapter 52 Contrast

The soldiers were usually laughing and joking, and rarely looked so serious. Lin Qiao straightened his face and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Aren't you going to give an open class with that teacher Zheng?" Junzi lowered his voice, "You should ask the principal to change the class."

He knew about the decision made in the morning in the afternoon. Lin Qiao knew the reason right away. "Did Qi Huaiwen say that?"

The one who was best informed in the entire Class 4 was Qi Huaiwen, because as the child of a teacher, he could often go in and out of the office, and as long as the information was not too confidential, he could hear some of it.

Sure enough, Junzi scratched his head and looked behind him, "He said that." He quickly lowered his voice, "My classmate Yu Tao is in the third grade. He heard him say that Teacher Zheng held a meeting for the class after he went back. He told everyone not to cooperate when you were giving a lecture, and not to raise their hands to answer questions."

The boy was obviously very angry. "This textbook is yours, but she insisted on messing with it and even set you up. What kind of person is she?"

Qi Huaiwen was not far behind him. After hearing what he said, he also came over and said, "Teacher Lin, you should change to another class."

"Yes, yes, go talk to the principal and ask her to change the class she doesn't teach." Junzi also nodded, "She is such a disgusting person."

These students really cared about her, so Lin Qiao smiled and blinked, "What if the teacher said that the teacher deliberately chose her class to teach?"

"Did you find it on purpose?" The soldier obviously hadn't expected this and opened his mouth in surprise.

Qi Huaiwen, on the other hand, thought much faster than him, and looked at Lin Qiao thoughtfully.

Lin Qiao patted Junzi on the head and said, "Thank you for telling the teacher this. The teacher knows what's going on. You should go home and have dinner as soon as possible."

Seeing that the soldier still didn't understand, he smiled and said, "Remember to keep it a secret for the teacher."

"That's for sure. I won't tell anyone." Although Junzi didn't quite understand, it didn't stop him from assuring his teacher Lin.

The next day, Principal Zeng notified Lin Qiao and Zheng Huifang and asked them to get ready for a trial class in the laboratory building the next afternoon.

Zheng Huifang obviously felt that time was a bit tight. "Let's wait a few more days. Xiaolin teaches in high school. Give her some time to prepare."

Principal Zeng is not a person who cares much about things, but she is not stupid. Lin Qiao did not say anything, but she spoke first. It was obvious that she was using Lin Qiao as a banner, so she did not say anything politely. "It takes several days to prepare for a trial class. Do you still need to prepare for a formal open class? It will be tomorrow. Xiaolin, do you have any opinions?"

He has always been cautious and seldom shows his sharp edge. He spoke so harshly, obviously he was really angry about being reported.

Lin Qiao nodded, "I'm fine."

Zheng Huifang had nothing to say. After returning, she told Lin Qiao the teaching progress and immediately started rehearsing with the students.

She told the students the answers to several questions and repeatedly emphasized that they should raise their hands whether they knew how to answer or not. It didn’t matter if they didn’t, she would only ask the best students in the class to answer.

This is no different from cheating. The students were originally looking forward to the lab class, but when she dragged them to the second and third time, they were just impatient.

When the day of the official trial class came, all the chemistry teachers in the school came, and Song Jing and another intern teacher also came.

Principal Zeng, Vice Principal Qi, and Lao Qu, who was in charge of the Party Committee, and a dozen other people brought stools and sat down.

At the end of the lab, the students were already nervous, and their faces became even more tense. When Zheng Huifang went up to give a lecture, the applause was uneven, and it took a long time for the two rows behind to catch up.

This made her look very unhappy. The school leader was sitting in the back, and she couldn't scold him as she usually did during class.

Once she got angry, she couldn't remember the lines she had memorized for several days. She made a mistake just six minutes into the class.

Not to mention the formal chemistry teachers present, even the two intern teachers couldn't help but frown.

Seeing that Team Leader Gao had a strange expression on his face, Vice Principal Qi asked in a low voice. Principal Zeng also looked over, and when he heard what he said, his expression also began to turn bad.

The students in the class had heard it several times, and some of them obviously remembered it, but Zheng Huifang was oblivious and just continued talking.

Teacher Yang was in the junior high school department, so of course she knew that Zheng Huifang had asked the students to rehearse in advance, and she couldn't help but shake her head in her heart when she saw it.

With this level, you still want to give public lectures?

The leader really came, but we don’t know whether she came to show off or to embarrass herself.

After 26 minutes of speaking, which made the leaders behind him look at their watches several times, Zheng Huifang finished slowly, "Then, the second-year teacher Lin Qiao will give you a half-session lecture."

No one applauded.

Lin Qiao didn't care. He stood up from the stool and, together with Team Leader Gao, carried the things he needed to the podium.

As soon as the talent stood on the stage, she smiled and picked up the chalk, "Teacher Zheng made a mistake just now, I want to correct it..."

It hit the nail on the head and gave Zheng Huifang a bigger warning than not applauding.

Zheng Huifang had just sat down in the back, and her face darkened instantly when she heard this. But before she could say anything, Lin Qiao had already explained the knowledge point in a simple and clear way, in a more understandable way, "Next, I will show you something magical."

He did not dwell on Zheng Huifang's mistakes, but because of his efficiency and speed, he caught the students' attention with just a few words.

After all, who doesn’t like to watch magical experiments?

Given their teacher Zheng's level, when he demonstrated the experiment to them for the first time, they took a second look.

The thing Lin Qiao brought up was very interesting. Below was an evaporation dish with some kind of powder inside, and above was a transparent glass bell jar. A single-mouth rubber stopper was plugged into the only opening of the bell jar, and inside the rubber stopper was a liquid separatory funnel filled with water.

Lin Qiao didn't seem to do anything. He just opened the separatory funnel and dripped two drops of water into it. Purple smoke immediately rose from the glass bell jar.

This scene was not only magical, but also beautiful. Not only the students, but also the school leaders and teachers sitting in the back were staring at it with fascination.

Lin Qiao was not in a hurry. After the purple smoke had almost risen, he smiled and asked the students below: "This purple smoke is a chemical element that our human body must have. Once we lack it, we will get a kind of thick neck disease. Therefore, we need to eat kelp to supplement it. Does anyone know what it is?"

Most of the students looked confused, but some of them knew and asked tentatively, "Is it iodine?"

“Yes, iodine.”

Even though the other party did not raise his hand, Lin Qiao still took the lead in clapping, "This student guessed correctly, let's encourage him with applause."

After the experiment was carried out, many students forgot what Zheng Huifang had told them before they came. Not only Lin Qiao, but also the teachers and leaders in the back row were applauding.

Soon, applause broke out in the laboratory and the atmosphere in the classroom was completely lifted. Lin Qiao then explained the principle of the experiment and wrote the chemical formula of aluminum iodide formed in the experiment on the blackboard. Then, using this as a starting point, she continued to talk about the periodic table that Zheng Huifang had not finished explaining.

"This is a good introduction, very natural and interesting." A chemistry teacher in the senior year whispered.

The other person next to him nodded although he didn't say anything.

They had never heard Lin Qiao give a lecture before, and their main impression of Lin Qiao was that he was thoughtful and courageous.

Normally, at her age, who would dare to write to the leader and offer suggestions when she can’t even explain the lessons clearly?

I didn't expect her to teach so well. No wonder the two classes she taught made rapid progress. And she only prepared for one day. She had no prior experience with the students. If she had taught those two classes, the effect would definitely be better than it is now.

Not to mention the students and teachers, several school leaders who did not teach science also followed suit and before they knew it, the bell for the end of class rang.

Lin Qiao just finished her last words: "Then this class ends here. Thank you for your cooperation."

Is it over so soon?

The junior high school students below were stunned for a moment, and then burst into thunderous applause.

They had long forgotten what Teacher Zheng had told them. Now they just felt that half a class period had passed too quickly and they still felt like they hadn't finished listening to it.

The leaders and teachers in the back were also applauding. Principal Zeng had already stood up from his stool. "Now that the class is over, let's vote here. Whoever you think gave a good lecture and who should give this open class, write down their names on a piece of paper. Let's be fair, just, and open."

"Okay, I happened to bring a book with me." Team leader Gao immediately prepared to tear the slips of paper and distribute them to several leaders and teachers.

Zheng Huifang was anxious when she saw this. "Shouldn't we let the students vote? This course is meant for students."

She was really unsure about letting the teachers vote. It was different for the students. They were the ones who taught her all these things and they would continue to teach her in the future.

"Is this ever going to end?" Team Leader Gao had already torn half of the paper and couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

The Sichuan-shaped lines on Principal Zeng's forehead were squeezed together. Vice Principal Qi glanced at Zheng Huifang and said, "Then let the students vote as well, for reference."

He admired Lin Qiao the most, and Principal Zeng couldn't help showing some surprise.

Seeing that Vice Principal Qi's eyes were clear and even a little meaningful, he gradually came to his senses and said, "Then let the students vote as well."

Zheng Huifang was relieved, and her face, which had been gloomy since the second half of the class, finally brightened up.

Soon the notes were written and folded into small squares. Several chemistry teachers who did not participate in the trial class went down and collected the notes row by row, preparing to count the votes on the podium.

Principal Zeng opened the first one and saw a neatly written character “林”.

Vice Principal Qi drew a cross under Lin Qiao's name with chalk.

The second one is still "Lin", and even the third, fourth... it's always "Lin".

Zheng Huifang was a little restless, but then she thought that these must have been voted by the teachers, and she tried to calm herself down.

Sure enough, the next one was her "Zheng", and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, there was only this one, and it was followed by a series of "Lin". By the time she finished singing, she had only received four votes in total.

Excluding a few who gave up their votes, there were more than ten positive votes on Lin Qiao's side, and she only had four votes, written side by side on the blackboard. It was a great irony.

Team leader Gao was pleased, and Zheng Huifang's face turned completely black. She went up to check the notes in disbelief.

Principal Zeng let her watch, waiting for her movements to change from eager to hesitant and finally to stop, before announcing: "Then Lin Qiao will be the speaker of this open class. No one has any other objections, right?"

"No." Several teachers in the back row applauded. Some students also wanted to applaud, but when they saw Zheng Huifang's gloomy face, they quickly withdrew their hands.

When packing up to leave the laboratory, several students couldn't help but huddle together and whisper.

"Did you all vote for Teacher Lin? I thought you would vote for Teacher Zheng so that we can have open classes."

"What's the point of taking public classes? We practice every day, but they don't allow us to do this or that."

"That's true. Why doesn't Teacher Lin teach us? If she taught me, I would be willing to take chemistry classes every day."

"I'd like to, I just stayed focused for the entire second half of the class."

"We all voted for Teacher Lin this time, and we will definitely be scolded when we go back. I don't know how Teacher Zheng, with his level, became a teacher..."

They are afraid of comparison in everything. They knew that Zheng Huifang’s performance was not good, but they had no clear idea of ​​how bad it was.

Now after listening to Lin Qiao’s lecture, they have it. It’s really badly taught, very different.

Song Jing and another intern teacher were not far away and happened to hear what the students said.

The intern teacher couldn't help shaking his head, "You still have to teach the class well." Then he sighed, "This teacher Lin is really good at teaching. No wonder she can give advice to leaders. She looks several years younger than me."

"She has been speaking very well." Song Jing spoke in a very soft voice, and only realized what she had said after she had finished speaking.

However, when voting just now, she and the male intern teacher also received votes. She also voted for Lin Qiao, and presumably the male intern teacher did the same.

Song Jing pursed her lips and said nothing more. As soon as Lin Qiao came out of the laboratory, he immediately received a lot of congratulations.

When we got back to the science office of Grade 12, everyone knew the result just by looking at the expression on Team Leader Gao's face without asking.

"You didn't see that when the students in her own class voted, she only got four votes." Team leader Gao felt very happy and drank half a glass of water as soon as he entered the room.

Lin Qiao's throat was dry from talking so much that she took a sip of hot water and said, "I didn't expect that she would let the students vote."

"Yes." Team Leader Gao obviously couldn't understand. "No matter how she said it, doesn't she have any idea in her heart?"

"Maybe she thinks the students don't dare to do it. She has been complained about by students' parents many times over the years, but nothing happened?" guessed the head teacher of Class 3.

Since Zheng Huifang is notorious for being a bad teacher, parents with some ability have tried to put their children in other classes in the past two years. The ones left for her to teach either don't know anything or their words don't carry much weight. Her teaching level hasn't improved in the past two years, but her temper has gotten worse.

"Do you think you are fearless because nothing has happened?" Team Leader Gao really didn't know what to say to her. "If she keeps doing this, something will happen sooner or later. Students and parents are not fools."

The students' reaction this time was much greater than ever before, especially after Zheng Huifang went back and scolded them for most of the class.

Even when Liu Cuiying came to give Lin Qiao and Ji Duo some chive dumplings, she couldn't help but tell Lin Qiao about this, "The daughter of our school leader Zhang came back crying, saying that it was obviously Teacher Zheng who didn't teach well, and they voted for you, but Teacher Zheng scolded them, which made her mother very angry."

There were many dates in the yard, and Lin Qiao and Ji Duo couldn't finish them all, so they each took some back to their workplace and gave some to the neighbors.

Liu Cuiying was the best cook, and she knew that Lin Qiao and his wife were not at home to cook, so the natural return gift she sent was food.

Ji Duo helped deliver the food to the kitchen. He didn't interrupt at first, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "What did you vote for Lin Qiao?"

"Someone tried to snatch the public class from Xiaolin, but didn't Xiaolin tell you?" Liu Cuiying was puzzled.

Lin Qiao really didn’t tell him. Not only did she not tell him that someone had snatched his place away, she also didn’t mention the school’s plan to hold an open class.

However, compared to when he first noticed it, Ji Duo was now much calmer. He just glanced at Lin Qiao and said, "She didn't tell me in detail."

This look was ambiguous. Lin Qiao tried for a long time to understand it, but couldn't comprehend any obvious emotion from it.

She didn't think she hadn't told Ji Duo what the problem was. After all, she could solve it herself, so why did she have to tell anyone? Team Leader Ji was also very busy, okay?

Although he could roughly guess what she was thinking, seeing her reaction, Ji Duo still choked slightly.

However, Liu Cuiying did not notice the subtlety between the couple. "It was because of Xiaolin. Didn't their school build a laboratory? After it was built, they were going to give a public class, saying that a senior leader would come. The school originally decided on Xiaolin, but I don't know who was so wicked that they reported Xiaolin..."

Liu Cuiying originally heard what the soldier said, and the soldier also heard what others said. Then he expressed it based on his own understanding, and his description was so down-to-earth.

What? Teacher Zheng had already dug a big trap for Lin Qiao to fall into, and he was giving Lin Qiao a glare while teaching.

Lin Qiao didn't step into the pit at all. Instead, she kicked Teacher Zheng down with one flying kick. He gave such a good lecture that the students cried.

Really, Lin Qiao is not easily embarrassed. After listening to that fantastic story, she even wanted to dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room house.

Ji Duo, on the other hand, looked calm and asked, "Did Teacher Zheng report you?"

"I don't know." Lin Qiao said truthfully, "No evidence was found, but she and I were the only ones fighting for this opportunity."

Ji Duo didn't say anything else. He sent Liu Cuiying away, then asked while picking up the bowl and chopsticks, "Did you do this on purpose?"

This man always looks at people directly with deep eyes. When he stares at you, you will feel that he sees through everything.

But Lin Qiao didn't know why he asked this question, so he just leaned his elbows on the table and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean?"

"That teacher Zheng." Ji Duo handed her the chopsticks, his eyes fell on her face from top to bottom, "You teach so badly, no one reported it before?"

She was really too sensitive. She guessed Lin Qiao's deepest intentions at once.

Lin Qiao made so many concessions and agreed to re-trial the class to decide the candidate, teaching junior high school like Zheng Huifang, and even using the students taught by Zheng Huifang even though he knew that some of them were tired of the class. Of course, he didn't just want to use this first half and second half method, which would make Zheng Huifang's level worse by comparison and embarrass her.

She wanted the students taught by Zheng Huifang to know that classes could be taught in this way, and she wanted teachers like Zheng Huifang to stop misleading students in their positions.

Lin Qiao looked at the man and asked, "Do you think what I did was wrong?" She asked this without looking away, and it was obvious that she did not think she was wrong.

Unexpectedly, the man raised his eyelids and asked instead of answering: "What makes you think I am that kind of face?"

Of course it's your serious and formal appearance, your old cadre-like demeanor, and your attitude of a superior talking to a subordinate whenever there's something wrong...

However, the man asked this, obviously not thinking there was anything wrong with her doing this.

That's right, he would remember it and settle the score with her at night even if she teased him. It was obvious that he was not a generous person.

This made Lin Qiao feel a lot more comfortable, at least her partners did not oppose her.

Sometimes people who spend every day together are most afraid of having different values. Her parents in her previous life were like that. They were obviously very busy and rarely sat together to talk. And every time they talked, they would leave in a bad mood after just three sentences.

Unfortunately, both of them are very opinionated and neither of them will give in to the other. As time goes by, they stop talking to each other.

Other issues could be circumvented, but her education was the point where the two of them argued the most.

From small matters like which interest class she should take to big matters like which school she should apply to, the two of them always had different opinions, as if she was the battlefield on which they were competing to see who was better.

Lin Qiao is also a person with her own ideas. Since no one can be relied on, she simply doesn't rely on anyone. She makes all the decisions on her own, including taking the college and postgraduate entrance exams.

She was really afraid that this man had different values ​​from hers and that he had a strong desire to control everything and wanted to have a say in everything.

Perhaps he was inspired by the report, or perhaps he could no longer tolerate it, but within a few days, Principal Zeng was called to the Education Bureau again.

Principal Zeng was overwhelmed by the second time he was arrested within two weeks. The people from the Education Bureau were also speechless. They simply handed him a stack of letters and said, "Take a look."

Yes, a stack.

A quick look revealed that there were at least thirty or forty letters, all of which reflected that Zheng Huifang's teaching level was too poor.

"The parents are very dissatisfied. Not only did they report that Comrade Zheng is not competent, they also reported that she beat and scolded students." The person from the Education Bureau said earnestly, "Your school is one of the first batch of chemistry pilot schools in the country. There are many people watching over you. It is really inappropriate. Don't put it in such an important position."

This is a clear instruction: if it doesn't work, replace it. Don't put people in the position and cause a bunch of parents to come and report the situation.

What could Principal Zeng say? He was completely speechless and locked himself in his office for most of the day.

The next day, he called Zheng Huifang to talk. When Zheng Huifang came out, she was crying and slammed the door of the principal's office.

Soon after, all the teachers in the school knew that Zheng Huifang had been reported for her poor teaching skills and would be transferred to the logistics department. The two classes she taught would be temporarily taken over by two interns, and the school would officially recruit new teachers as soon as the normal school graduates next year.

Zheng Huifang was demoted from a good teaching position to a logistics position. She was obviously dissatisfied with the school's handling of the matter.

She didn't even go back to the office that day, but went straight home. It was said that she went there to make connections, and she also spread a lot of unpleasant things about Principal Zeng.

When parents reported the situation before, it was Principal Zeng who kept worrying about this and that and didn't deal with it. Now that the matter can no longer be covered up, it is Principal Zeng who is being scolded.

The noise when Zheng Huifang slammed the door was so loud that even Vice Principal Qi next door was startled. He came in and saw that Principal Zeng looked unhappy. He was silent for a moment and said, "Let's just take the exam later."

All military dependents must take an exam before they can get a job. If they fail, they can't get a job. This way, there won't be such a thing as being collectively reported by parents.

Principal Zeng didn't say anything for a long while, and finally heaved a long sigh, "Then let's take the exam. We can't really ask people to report it to the higher-ups again."

"By the way, has the time for the open class been set?" Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Vice President Qi mentioned something happy.

Principal Zeng really perked up a bit, "It's settled, it was settled yesterday, next Wednesday, I haven't had time to notify you yet.

Know Lin Qiao. "

"Then let her know as soon as possible so she can prepare."

The school made a lot of preparations for this open class. A major cleanup was carried out throughout the school, and student discipline was enforced many times more strictly than before.

Even so, when they saw the person getting off the car from a distance, several school leaders were still surprised, "Why is this person here?"
