"It's just the first day of school, what's the point of being tired?" Tao's mother disagreed, "But we haven't even started yet."
Tao You thought of the self-introduction he wrote during the day, and managed to get 400 words by waffling here and there. Looking at the other people, almost all of them were long articles. It was difficult for even those in their early 400s to find one. There were even some I wrote several pages.
I don’t know what the head teacher will say tomorrow after reading it.
——You don’t want to read it out in front of the whole class, do you? !
There was a sound of children playing downstairs, the sound was clear and loud, as if it was going to penetrate the sky.
Tao You sat up suddenly, and the nerves in his brain tensed instantly. Thinking of the class teacher's teaching style, this was very likely to happen. It's just that when she thinks about her content, which is lame and verbose now that she thinks about it, she wants to find a crack in the ground to slip in and escape for a while.
——Is it true that I have nothing worth introducing? Otherwise, you can just make it up on the spot tomorrow.
Tao You couldn't help but reflect, took an apple from the coffee table, slowly nibbled it, and then retracted back to the sofa.
"Why are you still sitting there?" Tao's mother drank water and was about to enter the study. She saw Tao You still slumped on the sofa in a daze, and couldn't help but urge her, "Go back to your room and do your homework. What time is it? Calm your mind, summer vacation is over."
Tao You shook his hand and said, "There is little homework today and it has been completed."
Tao's mother sighed, put the file bag on the table, turned around and pulled Tao You up from the sofa, "You can't find homework by yourself after you finish it. Preview the content behind it, so you don't catch up when the time comes. The stupid bird flies first."
"Mom, you also think I'm stupid and have no merit, right?" Tao You turned around and asked, his expression a little sad.
Tao's mother paused in pushing Tao You, and looked at Tao You for a moment, "You are not hopelessly stupid yet. School has just started, and everyone is on the same starting line. You should study hard and don't be fooled by others." It's too far away. If you don't understand, just ask the teacher or classmates quickly, don't be embarrassed."
Tao You sighed deeply, entered the room, took out a brand new textbook at random from his schoolbag, opened it and spread it on the table, resting his chin on his hands, looking at his reflection on the glass.
"Xiaoyou," Tao's father came home from get off work and opened the door, "I bought you Zhangjia Shiji's roast chicken. It's still hot."
Tao You turned around and glanced at the bag in Tao's father's hand that exuded the aroma of roasted chicken. He didn't show any interest, "I have no appetite."
"What's wrong?" Tao's father closed the door and put the fried chicken on the table, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat this roast chicken yesterday? You miss the taste. If you don't eat it, you won't be able to sleep at night."
"Unhappy at school? Didn't get into class one?" Tao's father guessed the reason.
"No, that's right." Tao You turned around and sat back on the chair, "This morning, the class teacher asked us to write a self-introduction, and he also stipulated that it must be more than 400 words. I saw that the classmates couldn't stop writing. , I feel like I have nothing to introduce..." She suddenly didn't want to continue talking, thinking that she was being too pretentious, just introducing herself. She waved her hand, "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about it."
Dad Tao sat on the edge of the bed, put his hands on his knees, and said with a smile, "Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. But don't belittle yourself. Where there are advantages, there will naturally be disadvantages. No one is perfect, and there are shortcomings. If you are good at anything, it depends on whether you have confidence in yourself and whether you can reflect on yourself. Montaigne, a humanist writer and thinker, also said that the most barbaric thing is to despise oneself. You have won the championship in kindergarten, the eating champion , or praised by the whole school..."
"Yeah, yeah, I got it, please stop talking in a long way. My mother will talk about it again later." Seeing that Dad Tao was about to start his long talk again, Tao You felt a little headache and stopped quickly.
Tao's father patted his thigh and stood up: "Okay, then you can concentrate on studying. If you don't eat this roast chicken, I will take it out and it will affect your study."
Tao You saw Tao's father reaching for the bag. The delicious food in his mouth was about to be taken away before he had stayed in this room for ten minutes. He thought of the golden and crispy chicken skin, which was still oily when he bit it. The chicken was tender and delicious. , it falls apart from the bones with just one bite, and paired with their secret sauce, it’s a special taste.
Tao You swallowed the saliva that was constantly secreting from his mouth, turned around with quick eyes and hands, and threw himself on the table to protect the roast chicken. (The next page is more exciting!)
He smiled and said, "It won't affect you. Just leave it here and I'll take care of it."
"Tao Hong, don't affect her study!" Tao's mother's voice came from outside the door.
Tao's father said in his mouth: "Here he comes." He turned around to vent his anger, and when he reached the door, he did not forget to remind Tao You in a low voice, "Be careful when you eat, don't let your mother find out."
"Where's the roast chicken smell coming from?"
In the room, Tao You had just opened the package, and outside the room, Tao's mother had already sniffed sharply and asked. Tao You stopped and listened to the movement outside with bated breath, his heart beating rapidly.
"Why didn't I smell it?" Tao's father said, "Do you want to eat it? I'll buy it for you. Which one do you want to eat from?" He said it seriously.
"I won't eat it." Tao's mother made a cup of tea and went back to the study. "It's too late to eat and I can't digest it. I'll buy it tomorrow at the store next to the market."
Tao You then felt relieved, quickly pulled off a chicken drumstick, and gnawed it with satisfaction.
————————————————————————
After school starts, time flies by, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer. The daily homework and training weighed on Tao You's shoulders like a huge mountain. He was a little breathless and wished he could break the twenty-four hours into forty-eight hours.
"No, why are you all so depressed in class?" After class, Gu Yi skillfully slipped into class 1 from the back door again, carrying a bag in his hand, moved the extra chairs at the end of the classroom, and sat down In the corridor, he also greeted his classmates.
The classmates in Class 1 have long been accustomed to this, and even took the initiative to say hello to him. Even this chair was specially reserved for him. He obviously had his own class, but he suddenly became a non-staff member of Class 1.
Hong Xiqi sneaked around, took a moment to look up and said, "Why are you more skilled in our class than in your own class?"
"Brothers' class, what's there to see? Besides, we all know each other." Gu Yi has always been confident in his social skills. "I brought you some food rations. Why do you feel that you are more tired than our competition class? Black The circles under my eyes drooped to my chin.”
Tao You lay on the table, closed her eyes and rested her mind. Yesterday was a physical training session, and she was still sore all over. She didn't even have a good breakfast in the morning, and she was almost late. Hong Xiqi handed her a biscuit, and Tao You opened her mouth obediently, bit it down, and chewed it slowly.
The top students in Class 1 are more energetic than the other. They are already discussing homework before entering the class in the morning. According to students from other classes who live on campus, when they get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, they can still see students from Class 1 in the next bed. I read at night in front of my desk, with toilet water on the side to repel mosquitoes. The smell is so strong that I can smell it all over my body when I go out. In this regard, they were envious and sympathetic to their classmates in Science Class 1.
"Isn't this the mid-term exam? After the exam, there is a parent-teacher meeting. Everyone is vying to get on the list. Besides, the teacher said that this exam will be a serious setback. If you copy the wrong question, your name will be posted on the blackboard. , when you finish copying, you will erase it." Hong Xiqi turned a page.
Seeing Hong Xiqi's relaxed look, Gu Yi asked, "Fortunately I didn't come to the first class, otherwise I would have gone crazy. Are you not nervous? You still have something to think about."
Hong Xiqi waved her hands while eating: "It's okay. I won't compete with them. I just keep my original results. It's within my ability. Don't worry."
Song Yimian came in from the door, holding a stack of test papers in his hand: "Mathematics homework, hand it in before get out of class for evening self-study." He handed the papers to the math class representative.
The class immediately let out a tacit wail.
"Why is there another one? I haven't finished the one I sent out this morning."
"Chemistry after-school exercise book, forty to forty-seven pages, hand it in before get out of class for evening self-study." The chemistry class representative put the revised after-school exercise book on the desk and shouted.
"There are so many, and there are still homework in other subjects! How can I finish them all!"
"Monitor, school committee, and class representatives, please help us go to the teacher and ask for a favor. I really can't finish it."
"슷·····"
"Hey." Tao You resignedly stood up amidst a burst of complaints, raised his sore arm, rubbed his eyes, and unfolded the paper. \./hand\./machine\./version\./no\./wrong\./first\./post~~
'Jingle Bell"
The Chinese teacher stepped on the bell and entered the classroom.
"Gu Yi, you like Class 1 so much, why don't you just transfer here." She rushed to Gu Yiwen who had not yet reached the bedroom. (The next page is more exciting!)
She said softly, "I'll run here as soon as get out of class is over and I won't leave until class is over."
"Let's go, let's go now." Gu Yi replied, turned around and entered his class.
The Chinese teacher knocked on the blackboard and said, "Stop looking and turn around. Let's memorize and write down the poems assigned yesterday first. Put all the Chinese books on the table."
——Write poems silently!
Tao You woke up instantly.
——It’s over. I fell asleep without memorizing it well yesterday.
Many students have already taken out their exercise books and are ready to start writing. The Chinese teacher folded his hands on his chest, walked down from the podium and began to inspect, "Move quickly, I asked you to go home and memorize it yesterday. Once you have memorized it, you will finish it in silence for a few minutes."
Tao You held the pen and slowly finished the first two poems. He lowered his head and couldn't recall the first sentence of the third poem.
The Chinese teacher passed by her. Tao You lowered his head further and blocked the notebook in front of him, pretending to write.
"Give you another bell." The Chinese teacher stood on the podium, lowered his head and flipped through the book.
Tao You raised his eyes anxiously and looked around, wanting to ask Hong Xiqi in front of him, but the distance was too far and his movements were too big, so he could easily be spotted by the teacher. It was also impossible for Jia Ming behind him, and the classmate on the left was separated by an aisle.
Finally, Tao You set his sights on Song Yimian, who was nearest. Although he was a little embarrassed, in order to pass the dictation...
"Hey." Tao You said hoarsely, always paying attention to the movements of the Chinese teacher on the podium.
Song Yimian heard the sound and glanced at Tao You, understood what she meant, and then turned back to finish the last few lines of the poem.
Tao You turned around when he saw Song Yi being unreasonable, thinking that he had really failed this time, and was ready to go back to the office to write silently.
"Some students, don't move your eyes around. I can see clearly from above." The Chinese teacher said suddenly.
Tao You lowered his head honestly again, turned his pen, and waited for the time to pass.
--Um?
Tao You felt something touching her arm next to her. She glanced at it indifferently, then looked at Song Yimian in shock, and then looked at the Chinese teacher standing in the innermost aisle calmly. .
The notebook on the side close to her was filled with words written by flying dragons and phoenixes. If it wasn't today's ancient poetry, what could it be.
"In the last two minutes, check for typos and names."
While the teacher wasn't looking, Tao You quickly started writing.
"Thank you, you are such a good person, otherwise I would have gone to the office to endorse you." After class, as soon as the Chinese teacher walked out of the classroom, Tao You flattered Song Yimian.
"Come to me and recite the ancient poems later." Song Yimian interjected, "This is within the scope of the mid-term exam and must be memorized."
Tao You lowered his lips and pursed his lips, "Oh."
——Isn’t this just like finding another teacher in disguise? !.
