When Octavia called, Xu Cheng was criticizing Gong Zifeng.
Gong Zifeng is now completely at odds with Xu Cheng. Xu Cheng tried his best to get rid of his bad habit of always being late, but he refused to change. Instead, he was late more often.
Xu Cheng was reported last time for suspending him from class. Now he can no longer use this method. He is unwilling to write a self-criticism and only defaults to one punishment method, which is to stand and listen in class.
It's just right, I don't fall asleep while standing in class.
Xu Cheng knew that this method was no longer useful to him.
After leading this class for more than two months, because of this incident, Xu Cheng, among the students in the class, had a lot of contact with Gong Zifeng and basically understood the child's temperament.
This child has an outstanding personality, is smart and conceited, and has his own ideas. Once he decides on something, he will continue to do it even if it hurts his head. He is a boy who dares to take action.
If his energy can be channeled in the right direction, he will definitely be a student with great stamina.
He is twisting like this and using his strength in the wrong direction. If he doesn't correct it in time, he will take many detours.
His parents seemed to have nothing to do with their child. Gong Zifeng simply refused to listen to them and was not convinced by them.
For this reason, they asked Xu Cheng for help many times.
Because they reported Xu Cheng last time, they later thought about it and realized that their children had to study under Xu Cheng's nose for three years, which was the most critical three years in their lives. In their impulsiveness, not only could they not solve the problem fundamentally, but they also It will make Xu Cheng hate seeing his children even more.
Poor parents in the world, for the sake of their children's future, they lowered their face and asked Lao Wu to talk down, and finally found a suitable opportunity to sincerely apologize to Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng has been a teacher for nearly 30 years and has met many students and parents. It is not that he has never seen this type. He only thought about how to guide this child, and he really didn't report the parents. Take it easy.
He communicated with the parents and learned that the child loves to watch the strongest brains and is most convinced by successful people with achievements. Xu Cheng suggested that parents should know how to borrow help. Since the child does not listen to them, they can seek help from relatives and friends.
He asked parents to find a relative or friend who has achieved certain achievements in a certain industry, and find a suitable opportunity to say what they want to say through this relative or friend, which may be more effective than saying it themselves.
After many years of summary by Xu Cheng, it is very useful to use force to educate children in high school. It is not difficult to operate with a little effort.
He never thought that when he said this, he would make Gong Zifeng's parents extremely worried.
It turns out that this couple always complains about their relatives and friends in front of Gong Zifeng. No matter they are better than them or not as good as them, whether they are older than them or younger than them, they all complain and dislike them indiscriminately.
The child has listened to it a lot since he was a child, so relatives and friends naturally have no authority in front of the child, which makes the couple unable to borrow any power now.
They never thought that one day their bad words would leave them helpless.
It's a bit difficult.
After three years of high school, no one waits for anyone. If Gong Zifeng continues like this, he will be further and further away from his classmates.
The top students in Wei City are all in this class. Once you lose the distance, it will be too difficult to catch up.
You feel that you are working hard, and people who are better than you are working harder than you.
Sure enough, in the mid-term exam of his first year of high school, Gong Zifeng fell from the top 10 in his grade to 46th.
Just a week after the midterm exam, he was late again. Xu Cheng took the opportunity to call him into the office and try to talk.
I've talked about it several times before, but to no avail.
Now, reasoning was of no use to him, and instead made him even more bored.
This time, Xu Cheng didn't reason with him or talk about his declining grades. He said directly:
"Gong Zifeng, you are a child with ideas and opinions. From the beginning to now, you have been very persistent about being late, and you voluntarily bear the adverse consequences, do not evade responsibilities, and dare to take responsibility. You are so persistent, which shows that you have your own ideas about being late. opinion."
Then, Xu Cheng said that he was older, and many of his ideas could not keep up with those born after 2000, so he could not understand his position, but it would be easy for people of their own age to communicate with him.
To this end, he decided to hold a debate competition in his class. The topic of the debate was "Should the class teacher be serious about students being late?" 》.
"Gong Zifeng, you must be the captain of the negative side. You find team members who agree with you to form the negative side. I will not be involved in determining the positive team members. The students in the class will form the team voluntarily.
I'll give you a week to prepare, and the class will officially compete next Tuesday.
If you don't understand the truth, I will give you a chance to defend yourself openly and honestly. If you win the argument, the teacher will never criticize you again if you are late.
How about it, young man, do you dare to accept this challenge? "
Gong Zifeng looked at Xu Cheng with a look of disbelief.
In the past, other teachers would take advantage of his declining performance and point out that the important reason for his declining performance was his lack of self-discipline, such as being always late.
Then there is a bunch of blah blah blah. Don’t think that being late is a small problem. In fact, it reflects many important issues. Blah blah blah...
He was ready to listen with his head down and his feet down.
Huh? Lao Xu actually didn't play according to common sense.
When Xu Cheng asked, his eyes suddenly brightened up and his chest puffed up, "Dare, what's wrong with you? But the teacher has to keep his word."
Seeing his energetic appearance, Xu Cheng thought to himself that he was just a child after all, and his emotions were all written on his face.
He looked into Gong Zifeng's eyes and said unambiguously: "Teacher keeps his word and will publicly promise it in the class, but what if your team loses?"
"If our team loses, I promise to never be late again, and I will keep my word."
"Okay, teacher believes in you."
"Well, as a gentleman says, a horse is hard to catch. Teacher, then our team..."
At this moment, Octavia's call came in.
Xu Cheng signaled Gong Zifeng to wait a moment and picked up the phone.
"Hey, Octavia."
When he responded, Gong Zifeng immediately pricked up his ears.
Octavia's words came from the other end of the phone.
"Teacher, is it easy for you to speak?"
"Conveniently, Octavia, what's the matter?"
"I have something to communicate with you. Teacher, they say that a son-in-law is half a son. If you don't want to live in the apartment under Zhiyi's name, do you not want to recognize me as your son? Teacher, how long do you want to see me? "
Xu Cheng was slightly surprised.
He thought that Octavia would tell him about this sooner or later, but he didn't expect that he would start so directly.
This question was really hard for him to answer.
He thought for a while and said: "Ottavia, you are a smart man, not as simple as my stupid girl. You should know that this matter has nothing to do with it."
"Teacher, Zhiyi is not stupid, she just works a little slower. I hope you won't say that to her again in the future. I will feel bad for you."
Xu Cheng was surprised again.
He is really straightforward.
To be honest, all he knew about Octavia was that he was an extremely talented student and now a successful person with a successful career.
I really don't know about other aspects.
After the engagement, he and Xu Zhiyi were in Hangzhou and had no chance to get to know his son-in-law further.
These opening words today really surprised him.
Xu Cheng answered and said with a smile: "Zhiyi will be a member of your Ming family from now on. If you protect her like this, I, as a father, will naturally be happy. Okay, I won't talk about it anymore."
Octavia: "Thank you, teacher. Teacher, I hope you can accept the matter of the house with peace of mind. The teacher is also a smart person. You should know that I am not just the teacher's son-in-law for a short time, but a lifelong son-in-law. The impact of this relationship on the teacher's family Not only now, but will be with me for the rest of my life. Please adapt to it as soon as possible, teacher, so as not to embarrass Zhiyi."
Xu Cheng paused.
