Chapter 251
The summer vacation passed quickly, and Xu Di was about to officially step onto the podium.
In the morning, Xu Di put on black straight pants that she made herself and a beige three-quarter-sleeve short-sleeved shirt. The style was slightly similar to the student uniforms of the Republic of China, and the length was just enough to cover her belly.
"Mom, your clothes are beautiful, I want them too."
Yuanyuan loves beauty the most among the three children. She likes everything beautiful. Even her playmates will be more tolerant of those who are good-looking.
Xu Di was afraid that this child would become obsessed with looks when he grew up.
"When you are as tall as your sister, Mom will make it for you."
Xu Di patted the little girl on the head and told her that she would be late for school.
Yuanyuan looked at her sisters who had already walked to the gate, stopped pestering her mother, and hurried to catch up with her sisters.
Xu Di was about to leave as she had a class in the first period.
Stepping onto the podium in the 1980s, Xu Di was still a little nervous. Xu Di subconsciously adjusted his bangs before speaking.
"Hello, students. My name is Xu Di. This semester, I will be in charge of your basic courses."
Xu Di turned around and wrote his name on the blackboard.
It is already 1981. Most of the freshmen are high school graduates, and there are fewer older students.
After a brief self-introduction, I began the lecture.
She was a little nervous at first and she even felt herself sweating.
It will be fine later.
When I returned to the office, I happened to meet Professor Zhang.
"Xiao Di, first class, how do you feel?"
"I was a little nervous at the beginning. I was sweating. But later it was fine and I was able to finish the speech smoothly."
"Very good. You will be nervous the first time. Just give it a few more times and you will be fine. There is nothing wrong with your lesson plan. Keep working hard!"
With Professor Zhang's encouragement, Xu Di felt much better and relaxed.
Xu Di's work is progressing smoothly and she has adapted very well.
Being a teacher, my life is much easier than being a student.
When she doesn't have classes, Xu Di goes to the library to read. She still has to prepare for the postgraduate entrance exam and can't abandon her studies. And English also needs to be read every day, otherwise, you will soon become unfamiliar with it.
Xu Di’s classes are usually in the morning, so he can go home early in the afternoon.
Xu Di also has to tutor Nuannuan and the others with their homework.
Nuannuan is in the third grade and has a lot of homework.
Fortunately, children nowadays are not so clumsy and it is relatively easy.
Bai Weiwei has started working and can no longer come to teach the children English as she used to.
She recorded tapes for the children, and Xu Di studied with the children.
In a blink of an eye, it was already the end of September.
Nuannuan was selected by the school to be the host at the school party during the National Day holiday.
Yuanyuan and Tuantuan participated in the class chorus performance, and all three children had performances.
"Mom, we need to wear black pants and white shirts for the chorus. Please do it for us."
"Okay, we have black and white fabrics at home, and Mom will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some tomorrow.
Nuannuan, what are your clothing requirements? ”
Xu Di looked at Nuannuan and asked about their requests.
"Mom, our teacher said that it's best to wear a dress that's festive."
Nuannuan thought about whether there was a suitable skirt in her closet.
"Okay, tomorrow at noon, Mom will go buy some fabric and I'll make it for you in the evening."
Xu Di was very fortunate that he had worked on a sewing machine in a garment factory for two years in his previous life and learned how to make clothes.
In the 1970s and 1980s, being manually deft was still an advantage.
After talking about school and the children finished their homework, we started learning English.
The next day at noon, Xu Di went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy suitable cloth and three pairs of white stockings.
After the National Day, the weather will gradually become cooler, and you will need to wear long socks when wearing skirts.
The clothes he makes now are simple in style. Before going to bed, Xu Di has already made Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan's pants and white shirt.
"Mom, you've worked hard!"
Yuanyuan brought over a glass of water with a smile and asked her mother to take a rest.
Nuannuan stood behind her mother and massaged her shoulders. Her shoulders must be sore after sitting in front of the sewing machine for such a long time.
Tuantuan stood by, helping to tidy up things around the sewing machine.
Xu Di looked at her three daughters and felt extremely happy.
After enjoying the children's service and letting them go to bed, Xu Di stretched her body and seeing that it was not too late, she started to cut Nuannuan's skirt.
Xu Di bought red fabric and wanted to make a red suspender skirt and a white top with puff sleeves.
By then, Nuannuan was wearing a white top, a red suspender skirt, white stockings, and her black leather shoes, perfect.
Xu Di was busy for two days, making, washing and ironing the clothes the children needed.
The National Day Gala is not only held in primary schools, but also in universities.
Xu Di and her classmates from the School of Arts also had a chorus. As a young teacher, Xu Di must contribute his efforts.
A few days before the National Day, Xu Di and the children were very busy, working hard for their respective schools' National Day parties.
The day before National Day, each school held a party at a different time.
Nuannuan’s hosting was very successful. She had good mental qualities, was not nervous at all, and did not forget her words.
Also, the clothes Xu Di prepared for her were also a plus.
The reunion chorus was completed smoothly without any problems.
After National Day, Xu Di brought back a photo of them singing in chorus.
"Mom, we have photos too."
Yuanyuan took out the photos of her and Tuantuan singing in chorus, as well as the photos of Nuannuan hosting the show. The children looked very energetic and dazzling.
After the first year, there will be several such photos in the house in the following years.
"Wife, what are you looking at?"
Zhang Chaoyang was on a rare vacation and watched Xu Di flipping through photo albums.
"Take a look at the old photos. Look, this is the photo of Nuannuan and her friends participating in the first school event."
Zhang Chaoyang looked in the direction of his wife's finger. His daughter Nuannuan, with a ponytail and wearing an overalls skirt, was really dazzling. It would be even better if it was colorful.
He heard from his wife that Nuannuan's overalls skirt that day was red.
"My daughter is so pretty. Is she born in 1981?"
"Yes, the time is written on the back of the photos. In a blink of an eye, Nuannuan is already in junior high school, and Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are about to graduate from elementary school."
Xu Di flipped through the photo album, looking at the photos from these years.
Time flies for the three children, from when they were just born to when they were toddlers, to now when they are teenagers.
Starting from 1981, education reforms were carried out across the country, and the school system was changed from the original 522 to 633.
Nuannuan is now in the second grade of junior high school and has grown to 1.65 meters tall.
"Wife, thank you for your hard work over the years!"
“It’s hard work, but compared to the hard work, the happiness is real happiness.”
Xu Di felt very satisfied because Zhang Chaoyang could not be with her all the time and could not take care of the family affairs.
However, as Zhang Chaoyang's position rose higher and higher, their social status also improved, and many things became much more convenient.
Plus, because of her grandmother, they have a housekeeper at home, so her life is really easy.
After being married for so many years, she didn't prepare meals three times a day and did housework non-stop, but she really didn't feel tired.
"Wife, you are so nice!"
"Because you are good, I try my best to work in a good direction. You also deserve credit, really."
The two of them flipped through the photo album together and recalled the children's growth stories.
That night, Xu Di and Zhang Chaoyang looked at the photo album for a long time. He missed a lot about the children's growth.
This is a rare opportunity, and he wants to learn more.
