No.70 days

"Xiao Shao, let's change classes tomorrow? I'm in the first class in the morning." Sister Shan's voice came in before she arrived.

Shao Wu raised his head: "Okay, mine is the third quarter in the afternoon."

"Oh, that's great," Sister Shan tilted her head, looking helpless, "every day."

It was lunch time now, and the other teachers in the office had gone to the cafeteria. Shao Wu was not hungry yet, and he had not finished grading papers, so he planned to go back later.He put down the pen in his hand and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to meet again?"

"That's right, I'm still a business person. I only have time tomorrow morning for the high-speed train to go to Shenzhen in the afternoon," Sister Shan laughed.

Four years later, when Shao Wu returned to his alma mater to become a geography teacher, Sister Shan was still unmarried.In her words, she has no idea about this matter anymore, it's just that her parents are getting more and more anxious every day, and they are in a hurry to arrange a blind date for her.

"You are still young, you don't understand," Sister Shan sighed to Shao Wu at the reception banquet for the newly recruited teachers, "At my age, when I go on a blind date, all the men I meet are rushing to get married. You’re in a relationship—when you arrive at the restaurant, as soon as you sit down, you start asking, how much is the bride price? Who will buy the house and who will buy the car? When will you have a baby after getting married?”

Shao Wu comforted her: "Sister Shan, you are not very old."

"Over 30," she shook her head, mocking herself, "In a small place like Yongchuan, it's an old woman."

After four years, even the familiar alma mater has undergone many changes.Needless to say about the newly renovated campus, even the teachers of the past have left and retired.For example, old man Chen, who taught mathematics, retired due to high blood pressure, and the old class who taught politics has been poached by a junior high school in Chongqing.Sister Shan's relationship is not going well, but her career is going well. Four years later, she has been promoted to the grade director. Now she is in charge of the third grade and is Shao Wu's immediate leader.

There is a male teacher in the geography group who entered the school at the same time as Shao Wu. They are both newcomers, but he is from a certain Erben Normal University. Sometimes he would make sour jokes on Shao Wu: "Help me say something nice in front of the director, we This batch of newcomers is the only one who can talk to her."

Shao Wu said awkwardly: "You can go to her if you have any ideas, she is very talkative."

"Hey, leaders like us don't like it! Don't believe me, how many 985s are there in this batch of newcomers? It's just the three of you! Your major is not geography, and the school also wants it. , it means that education is important.”

Shao Wu had nothing to refute, so he had to turn on the computer silently, and prepared to find a suitable documentary to show to the students—this week, he started to talk about climate types, which was quite difficult.

The male colleague was still muttering, as if everyone was drunk and I was sober: "The worship of academic qualifications is really too blind now. In fact, teaching skills are much more important to teachers than academic qualifications. No matter how full of stuff you are , can't tell, what's the use..."

Shao Wu just pretended not to hear.

He had already expected it in his heart, and he did hear Sister Shan unintentionally mention it: the teachers in the school who knew the inside story were talking about it, what happened to Shao Wu?Back then, his college entrance examination scores were 7 points higher than the national average, but he applied to the English Department of a major school, which is good at science and engineering. Now that he graduated, he miraculously returned to his alma mater as a teacher.In Yongchuan, generally speaking, the students who pass the exam are reluctant to come back—although the hometown is good, it is always too small and closed.

These "inside stories" gradually spread to the ears of other new teachers, so that when they expressed their admiration for Shaowu's academic qualifications, there was some unknown meaning in their eyes, like probing or watching.

Shao Wu thought, whatever.

"Hey, I almost forgot," Sister Shan said again, "You know Mr. Meng in the first grade of high school, right? The one who teaches chemistry wants to introduce you to someone."

Shao Wu: "...Huh?"

Since Shao Wu was only pretending to be in love, Shao Wu might really delay Zhu Jingjing, so he discussed with her that the two of them would still get along as friends at school, and pretend to be a couple when they really need to face Shao Wu's parents.So everyone knows Shao Wu is single.

"Mr. Meng asked me to ask you—the girl is in very good condition. She has a bachelor's degree from Xiamen University. She is now working at the Chengdu Taxation Bureau. Her home is in Yongchuan, but the family has already settled in Chengdu... Well, look at the photos."

Sister Shan handed over the phone, and Shao Wu bit the bullet and said, "Okay, let me take a look."

On the screen is a thin girl standing by the sea in a black academic uniform, smiling brightly.She is not tall, but with facial features, she is a beautiful girl.

"Teacher Meng said that this girl's family is in very good condition, and she has several apartments in Chengdu for business," Sister Shan said with a smile, "This will relieve you a lot of pressure."

Shao Wu returned the phone to Sister Shan, and racked his brains to say: "It's not appropriate, we are not in the same place..."

"You child—are you really planning to stay in Yongchuan for the rest of your life? It's definitely impossible. I think this girl is pretty good, and the people introduced by Mr. Meng are very reliable. If you really succeed, you can go there." Isn’t the development of Chengdu much better than in Yongchuan?”

Chengdu, Chengdu again.

Shao Wu was speechless for a while, thinking, I know Chengdu is very good, I know.

In fact, he not only knows how good Chengdu is, but also the weather in Chengdu, every day.He has changed his smartphone and can check the weather in different cities at any time, but he still goes to the business hall of China Mobile and ordered a weather pass package for himself. Every morning at 06:30, he will receive the weather forecast of Chengdu on time .

The temperature in Chengdu is slightly higher than that in Yongchuan, and it is often cloudy or light rainy. The tone of the text messages from Weather Tong is very vivid. For example, when the temperature drops one day, an extra sentence will be added at the end, remember to add clothes!A month later, Shao Wu saved the weather number in the cell phone address book, and the note was "Yang Shuyi".

He thought he was ridiculous, but sometimes when he thought about it, the corners of his mouth would really lift up, revealing an inconspicuous smile.

"Sister Shan, I really... have no thoughts on this right now," Shao Wu guiltyly tapped the Enter key on the keyboard, "You see, I just went to work and am very busy, and we are in different places, so I will Don't waste people's time."

Sister Shan looked at Shao Wu, and after a while, she replied helplessly: "Okay, then I'll help you tell Teacher Meng."

"Well! Thank you, Sister Shan! I will thank Mr. Meng later when I see him."

"Xiao Shao, are you..."

Shao Wugang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately became nervous again: "What's wrong?" He was afraid that sister Shan would say, do you think this girl is not beautiful enough?I have more beautiful ones here, let me introduce them to you?

"Did you sign a leave note for Guo Yulong? Last Saturday."

"Oh... yes, she said that the studio invited a teacher to teach them." Guo Yulong is Longlong, a student in Sister Shan's class, and now she is also a student of Shaowu.

Sister Shan nodded: "OK, I see."
