Chapter 5: A Lesson in English
"Pain is a catalyst for growth. For a man, there is nothing easier for a man to grow than emotional setbacks."
"It's as if you really understand, so how can you still be like my flower skin?"
"Flower skin? What kind of flower skin?"
"Oh. My dog, when you have a chance to visit my hometown, you will know. That guy is very greedy, and you can't even snatch a bone from him, but if he sees the mother, he will quickly grab the bone. Give it to someone..."
"I'll kick you and me to death..."
"Haha..., don't pretend to be a lover now?"
"..."
"You said that Jiannan and Song Xiaodan have been together for such a long time, have the two of them ever had that?"
"That? What that?"
"That's the one..."
"Which is that?"
"Don't pretend to be garlic, it's that one."
"Oh, you mean that."
"Um. Do you think they have that?"
"I don't know about this, why don't you ask Jiannan?"
"I..."
"Hush, shush."
Some people say that when a woman gossips, hundreds of ducks are no match for her.
But the person who said this never realized that, in fact, men gossip about those hundreds of ducks.
As soon as Shen Jiannan left, Bai Qiuyi and Peng San began to gossip about his love history.As two single dogs, they are really interested in things like love and eroticism.
However, the gossip between the two could only come to an abrupt end amidst Bai Qiuyi's hissing.
Shen Jiannan came back from the dormitory with an English textbook and a notebook.
"What are you talking about, laughing so happily?"
"Haha, I'm talking about the incident at the prom last year. Do you remember that when a girl invited this guy to dance, he actually disliked him for being shameless?"
"You fart, Ming..."
Peng San didn't go on with what he said. Compared with his embarrassment at the dance last year, there are some things that can't be mentioned now.
Shen Jiannan, who was listening, smiled and didn't speak. He didn't know what Bai Qiuyi was talking about about the dance party, but he knew very well that Bai Qiuyi was lying, and the eyes that turned to the right unconsciously proved it.
But what does it matter.Not all lies are malicious, the two guys in front of him obviously don't want to make him unhappy.Not a bad feeling without a utilitarian friendship!
"Jiannan, how do you get..."
Peng San looked at the things in Shen Jiannan's hand and was about to say something again, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his foot.
Bai Qiuyi didn't seem to know that he stepped on Peng San, so he said it nonchalantly.
"Jiannan, go to class first, we won't delay you."
"..."
Shen Jiannan didn't notice the small movements between the two in front of him. He was thinking about how to go to class and straightened his clothes.
"Well. Then I'll go up first."
"..."
"Baby face, why do you think Jiannan is still holding that book in his hand?"
"Are you really stupid or fake?"
"Oh, love..."
"..."
Shen Jiannan who turned around and went up the stairs was a little nervous, even more nervous than when he stood in front of thousands of people and lied with open eyes.Not nervous about which classroom he should go to.
Today's proud son, the future of the motherland!
Shen Jiannan was not sure if a guy like himself would lead an era astray. If there were any accidents to the future of the motherland, he would be the sinner of the entire country and the entire nation.
Teacher Renmin didn't realize how heavy these words were until the moment he stepped on the stairs.
But when things come to an end, there is no reason to back down.
After climbing up to the last step, Shen Jiannan carefully straightened his clothes. He straightened his back and took a step after confirming that the collars and collars were clean.Now that he has chosen to accept the identity of a teacher, he is ready to undertake what he should undertake with the best image.
In the classroom on the far right of the second floor, Shen Jiannan stopped when he walked to the door. In an instant, he was sure that he was indeed attending class here.
The reason is very simple. The moment Shen Jiannan stood at the door, the smiling students sitting at the front immediately lowered their heads like a mouse seeing a cat.
Very familiar scene.
Holding back a smile, Shen Jiannan walked into the classroom.
It's not a very big classroom, about 50 square meters full of 67 people, even the first few rows don't have any empty seats.This is completely different from the universities that Shen Jiannan knew. At that time, no one was willing to sit in the front seat of the class.
But this is not what surprised Shen Jiannan the most. What surprised him most was the age of the students.
The younger students in the class seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, while the older Shen Jiannan in the back row couldn't help but wonder if he should call him uncle.
Skip a grade, repeat a grade...
Shen Jiannan remembered some things he had heard before.
Some geniuses can go directly to junior high school after one year of elementary school, and go directly to high school after one year of junior high school, while some can go to junior high school after ten years of elementary school, five years of junior high school and high school, and some can even go to eight years in one grade of high school.
Taking a quick glance at the students in the class, and quietly glanced at the desks of some students in the front row, Shen Jiannan put away his chaotic thoughts and let go of the last trace of worry.
The students in the front row were covered with English books, which was undoubtedly consistent with his previous judgment.
I am an English teacher myself.
Soon, Shen Jiannan stepped onto the podium, put the textbooks and notes in his hand on the table, bent down and bowed to the podium.
"Students, I'm really sorry. I was delayed because I was not feeling well today. I hope everyone can forgive me."
No one answered.
However, Shen Jiannan was not surprised. After he stood up straight again, he said the first sentence that a teacher should say.
"Let's start class now."
If you have never eaten pork, you must have seen a pig walk, not to mention that Shen Jiannan has been called a teacher by thousands of people.After confirming his identity, there was nothing he could do about the previous tension in his heart.Pick up a piece of chalk on the podium and smear on the blackboard for a while, and suddenly rows of writing appeared on the blackboard.
The flamboyant row of characters is neat, clean and tough.
"Where are we going. Where are we going."
"going..."
"..."
"The sunshine in winter always makes people feel difficult. The sunshine in winter always makes people feel difficult.
"Sunshine. sunshine..."
"..."
On the podium, Shen Jiannan held the pointer and explained the lesson preparation content in the notebook to everyone.
He is very confident, and he believes that his oral English level can definitely meet the current university teaching level.
In fact it is.
Fluent and clear pronunciation, every phonetic symbol is very standard, so standard that even a TV host whose mother tongue is English cannot call out any faults, and it is at most this level if replaced by other English teachers.
But for some reason, the atmosphere in the classroom gradually became a little weird, so weird that there was no noise in the huge classroom except for Shen Jiannan's voice.
"difficult..."
On the podium, Shen Jiannan held the pointer and carefully read the English on the blackboard. He read very seriously. Since he has chosen to be this teacher, he should do his best to teach every class well. As for the future, we will talk about it later.
Read the sentences first, then explain the words, and then split them into letters and read them aloud one by one.
But when Shen Jiannan finished reading the last letter on the blackboard and was about to write another line, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Quiet, quiet makes people a little hairy, quiet makes people uneasy.
Subconsciously, Shen Jiannan turned around with the tip of the teaching chalk.
Pairs of surprised eyes were looking at him, and everyone's eyes were full of doubt, puzzlement and...strangeness.
Shen Jiannan glanced back at the blackboard. He was sure that there were no mistakes in writing on the blackboard, whether it was Chinese characters or English. Since there were no mistakes in writing, it was even more impossible to make mistakes in reading.
But what's the situation now!
Shen Jiannan looked at the students in the class with a dazed expression.
He didn't know, in fact, the students were as confused as he was, and no one could guess what their teacher Shen was up to.
The atmosphere under the ignorance was so strange that everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.
Maybe ten seconds, maybe two minutes later, Shen Jiannan couldn't stand it anymore, even he felt a little creepy when he was looked at by a pair of strange eyes, this guy asked cautiously and tentatively.
"What's the problem?"
No one answered, but the pure eyes of the students became even more strange.It's like saying, if there is any problem, don't you know what to do.
Shen Jian'an panicked. He felt very bad for such a moth in the first class, but there was still no abnormality on this guy's face. Now this kind of scene is the same as standing in front of hundreds of thousands of successful people. Talking nonsense with your eyes open is completely pediatrics.
"Snapped!"
Shen Jiannan slammed the pointer on the table, squinted his eyes and swept the students below one by one.
The teacher is a terrifying creature. Any student who has experienced more than ten years of student life has an instinctive fear of the teacher. As soon as Shen Jiannan's gaze came, the student being stared at couldn't help but lower his head. The majesty made them unable to have the courage to look at each other.
Soon, Shen Jiannan's eyes stopped on a boy.
It was a 25-year-old student, plainly dressed and honest-faced, blushing and lowering his head just after being glanced at by Shen Jiannan.Obviously, this is an honest person, and an honest person is naturally the kind of person who is best to be bullied.
Yu Zheng, a well-known honest man in economics.
How honest?
I am so honest that when I look at girls, my face will turn red to the neck, and I am so honest that I dare not look at other students.Now that he was stared at by Shen Jianan, he immediately felt his scalp go numb, and his heart was terrified.
Yu Zheng's head hung lower and lower, and an invisible pressure made him dare not look at Shen Jiannan at all.But although sight is invisible and intangible, it has infinite penetrating ability. Even if he lowers his head almost under the table, the invisible pressure still makes his face feel hot.
The surrounding students also felt the weirdness, and following Shen Jiannan's gaze, they all cast their eyes on Yu Zheng.
Stress, stress everywhere.
The front and back gazes were like mountains, making it difficult for Yu Zheng to breathe. Under the ubiquitous pressure, Yu Zheng lowered his head and promised.
"Mr. Shen, isn't this section about how supply and demand affect prices..."
How does supply and demand affect prices?
Shen Jiannan was dumbfounded.
It's not that he doesn't know how to explain this question, this question is very familiar to him.
When he was studying, he heard the teacher explain this problem, and he explained it to countless people after he entered the society. He even summed up his understanding of supply and demand and price in his many years of professional career.
However, this question does not seem like a question that should be taught in English class.
"Mama criticize, preconceived ideas are really deceiving!"
Shen Jiannan's reaction was not unpleasant. With an understanding of history, this guy instantly realized where he made a mistake in his judgment.
Embarrassing, extremely embarrassing.
Even Shen Jiannan felt embarrassed at this moment when he thought he had lost his face and skin. Now he would be a fool if he didn't realize that he had made a big oolong.
"Ahem...don't you all like English?"
Silence, silence for a moment someone whispered.
"do not like."
"Don't like it? Don't like you reading English books in my class?"
