"Professor, we're on page 16."
After turning to page 16, Zhong Yuxiu only needed to glance over it once to understand the whole thing. During the class, she quoted from classics and occasionally told some small stories. She was very dedicated in explaining the practical aspects. After the class, the students were still not satisfied.
Unfortunately, the bell for the end of get out of class has already rung.
During the routine closing ceremony, Zhong Yuxiu did not rush to leave, but stayed.
A female student stood up and asked, "Professor, I want to ask you a question."
Zhong Yuxiu looked at her amusedly, then looked at the other students and shook her head, "If you know it's presumptuous, why did you ask?"
"Because we want to know." The classmates were very united this time.
"Have you discussed this a long time ago?" They just sent a representative.
"yes!"
The reply was particularly loud, and Zhong Yuxiu couldn't help laughing. "Okay, since you care about me so much, go ahead and ask. As long as the questions are not too personal, I can share them with you. I have been your homeroom teacher for three years. If you still don't know my basic situation by the time you graduate, it would be a bit unreasonable."
"That's right, Professor. I wish you had been so generous earlier."
"Should I say you're worthy of being science majors? 'Generous' is the right word for that?" After mercilessly mocking the speaker, Zhong Yuxiu put away her textbook, took it in her hands, and walked down the podium, standing in front of a seat in the center of the first row. "Alright, go ahead and ask. I still have to get back to the office after that."
The female comrade asked jokingly, "Professor, is it a boy or a girl?"
"Boy boy."
"Hahaha."
The word "zai'er" was not popular in that era and was mostly used to refer to animals; the students burst into laughter when they heard it.
"Professor Zhong, when will you bring your son to school for us to see? Or we can go to your house! We haven't been to your house to see you since you gave birth."
"That's right, we also want to see your boy."
Zhong Yuxiu raised her index finger and shook it gently, "Not now, wait until they are older and can walk."
"How long will it take?"
"...That's not right, them?"
"two?"
"sharp!"
Zhong Yuxiu held up three fingers, "Three, all boys."
"Professor, you are amazing, and my master-in-law is also amazing!"
"Hey little brat, that's enough. Are you done asking questions? Now it's time for me to leave." These students were quite relaxed and started to make fun of her.
Students, please sit down and behave yourself.jpg.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded twice at the outspoken student and walked away with a smile. As soon as she stepped out of the classroom, her classmates exploded, talking about how amazing their teacher was! Others could barely handle one at a time, but she could handle three at a time, all boys.
There were many male students in the class, and most of them were educated youth, so the conversation became a bit obscure and pornographic; several female students stared blankly in embarrassment, not knowing whether to interrupt or not to say anything.
It was Chen Yuzhu who noticed that the atmosphere was not right and quickly stopped talking, "Okay, let's talk about whether we should go visit our head teacher and junior fellow student." If he had continued earlier, not only would the girls be ashamed and angry, but he would also be confused.
"Right, right, right. Let's quickly discuss what to bring to visit our junior brother." A boy agreed. "There are a lot of fruit stalls outside. Let's buy some fruit, three bags of malted milk, and some nutritional supplements."
"What are you thinking about? We can't buy nutritional supplements whenever we want." These days, nutritional supplements can only be found in large shopping malls, and you may not be able to buy them even then; they are sold out as soon as they are released.
When there are more nutritious products, they are used to support state officials, and not much flows out.
Chen Yuzhu said, "It's useless for us to discuss this. Without the permission of the class teacher, we can't enter the compound."
"Yes, our homeroom teacher lives in a large compound, and we can't get in," a female student said dejectedly. "Our homeroom teacher is so high-ranking that he lives in a military compound."
They all knew what that place was, and it was a place with a very high security factor; no one would dare to go to the compound to test it, and even spies didn't dare to get close to that area.
"Chen Ban, what do you say we should do?"
"What I mean is, I'll deliver the goods after they've been purchased. As a representative, I'm familiar with the area, so it's no problem for me to go in alone."
As soon as Chen Yuzhu finished speaking, he was met with a burst of laughter. They just wanted to see his junior brother.
"Well, what do you think we should do? We can't just pretend we don't know, right?"
The scene was silent, and everyone looked at each other, unable to come up with a good idea. In the end, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and agree with Chen Yuzhu's suggestion. After all, there was still someone who could go and take a look, and then come back to talk to them about it.
The whole class pooled together more than 20 yuan, which was enough to buy some fruit, but not enough to buy malted milk. Putting aside the malted milk, everyone discussed and decided to buy a fish and a chicken and send them to the Zhong family, which were not much worse than malted milk.
They are students, living on government subsidies and so poor that if the gift is too expensive, the professor might not accept it.
"Okay, let's do it this way. I'll go out shopping on Sunday afternoon, and then I'll go visit my junior fellow apprentices." Chen Yuzhu made the final decision, pocketing the money. "I'll record what I bought, including how much I spent on each item, and show it to you when I get back."
"Chen Ban, we trust you. You don't need to show us; you don't need to keep accounts."
Chen Yuzhu insisted, "That won't work. Let's do what we have to do. You all know my temper. Don't say anything. I know what we have to do."
Okay.
Everyone in the class knows that Chen Ban is a serious person who is cautious and organized in her work and fair and just. Otherwise, her classmates would not be so convinced of her.
Facts have proved that Zhong Yuxiu made the right choice in choosing him.
Zhong Yuxiu in the office didn't know about this yet. She used the rest of the morning to make a simple curriculum plan for the third and fourth grades. When it was almost noon, Yuxiu packed up and went home, where she met Professor Ding who had just returned from class.
After not seeing Professor Ding for a while, I found that he had fewer white hairs and looked much younger.
"Hello, Professor Ding, have you just finished class?" He stopped and stood at the door of Professor Ding's office.
Professor Ding looked up and smiled, "It's you! I heard from Principal Guo the day before yesterday that you were back from leave. Why are you here for class today?"
"Yes, I've been here for a while now and I'm going home for dinner. Do you want to come with me?"
"Come on, why not? Do you welcome me to your house for dinner today? You gave birth, and I haven't seen the baby yet." Professor Ding asked with a smile.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded repeatedly, "You're most welcome."
"That's a deal. Wait for me for a while and I'll leave after I put the things down," said Professor Ding.
"Okay, put your things down first, I'll go downstairs. I'll meet you at the school gate later, okay?"
"Okay, okay. You can arrange it first."
After they separated, Zhong Yuxiu went downstairs with a smile and called home from the school phone booth. Gong Zhaodi answered the phone. Zhong Yuxiu said, "Hello, Aunt Gong, can you make something delicious? Do you have any seafood?"
"Yes, Comrade Zhong. Comrade Yan sent some back."
"Then cook them all and prepare food for one more person."
Gong Zhaodi agreed and Zhong Yuxiu hung up the phone.
