After a simple rebirth

Afterwards, the head teacher introduced the school rules of Gumang Middle School, and Fu Ying learned more about the situation.

Gumang has a flag-raising ceremony every Monday morning, and physical exercises at other times. There are currently five days of classes a week for the first year of high school, and six days starting from the second year of high school. There are evening self-study classes every Friday and Sunday night. Morning reading starts at 7:20 and school ends at 12 noon. Classes start at 14:20 in the afternoon and school ends at 5 o'clock. There is a monthly exam at the end of each month, and the whole school is ranked. If the final results of each semester are too poor, they will be transferred to ordinary classes. Starting from the second year of high school, they will be divided into liberal arts and science classes.

They also said that we had to wear school uniforms every day, and that our appearance would be checked, especially during the flag-raising ceremony, when each class would count the number of students not wearing uniforms. There were also rules that girls could not wear makeup or earrings, and boys could not wear slippers, and these rules were similar in every school.

I asked the class monitor to copy down a few important points, then went to the office to get some transparent tape and stick it on the wall for the classmates to see. The class was about to end.

Fu Ying felt that there would be no classes all morning. Maybe the head teacher would be there the whole morning to help the students get used to it and get familiar with it.

I didn't go out with Li Xingying during the break. We had just agreed to go home together after school. Fu Ying sat in her seat and continued to read her English book.

I actually wanted to stand outside and relax, but there were only boys outside, so I didn't want to go out. Rural high schools have more boys than girls. Some girls may not even be able to finish junior high school due to family reasons, not to mention that high school tuition is expensive. Some of them are not interested in studying or drop out of school on their own initiative and choose to work in other places with their families.

Fu Ying estimated the situation in her class. There are 50 students in the class, about 30 of them are boys and less than 20 are girls.

It seemed like there was a lot to do in the morning, but it also seemed like I didn't do anything. When the class started, it was only the second period in the morning. It was so boring that Fu Ying even felt a little sleepy.

But the head teacher did not give them a chance to fall asleep. He showed them a video of interviews with college entrance examination students over the years, the situation of college admission, and the beauty of high-paying jobs. After watching it, he painted a rosy picture for them, saying that as long as they work hard, they will definitely be able to enter their ideal university.

Fu Ying held her cheeks and didn't dare to smile, for fear of being seen by the teacher and being thought by him not giving her face, which would even make it very embarrassing when she was called upon to give a reason.

This model is suitable for naive girls, such as her deskmate, who was obviously excited. However, with a goal and motivation, some people will be attracted and touched.

The head teacher also invited students to share their future goals, the universities they wanted to attend, and the majors they wanted to study. One boy said he wanted to attend Peking University, study computer science, and become a programmer. The class laughed at his boldness. No one in the room dared to hope to be admitted to such a good school. Fu Ying also laughed, because of his funnyness, and because it is generally recognized that Tsinghua University is stronger in science.

All the new class leaders talked about their ideals. Class monitor Wang Xueting said she wanted to go to a big city and work for a big company with a high salary; the deputy class monitor said she just wanted to be admitted to a key university and had not yet decided on a major; Fu Ying said a little embarrassedly but pretended to be calm and said she wanted to be a teacher, any school would be fine; the cultural and entertainment committee member Chen Lu said she wanted to be a singer and perform on stage.

Fu Ying never expected that there are still people who insist on becoming a singer even though they are already in high school. This girl must be very popular in her daily life, spoiled at home, and ignorant of the ways of the world.

Later, more students also said that they wanted to be teachers, but some were reluctant to stand up and say what they wanted to do.

Fu Ying felt that her deskmate wanted to share, but was not brave enough and could not take that step. This requires long-term practice.

When Fu Ying was young, she would raise her hand carelessly and say that her deskmate also wanted to share. Later, she realized that she was extremely stupid and had nothing better to do. Her bravery embarrassed others and made them dislike her. There was no need to help others to be brave, only to be blamed or even backstabbed.

The head teacher then introduced some study suggestions for high school Chinese. Fu Ying listened and found that it was basically about reading more, reciting more, and practicing writing more.

There was no physical exercise on the first day, so the head teacher asked all the class leaders to go to the office for a small meeting.

The office is in the building where I applied for the degree. I went up to the second floor and passed by several doors with the words "High School Mathematics Office" and "High School English Office" written on them. I thought I would go to the High School Chinese Office, but I didn't expect to go to the office of the head of the first grade. No wonder he became famous throughout the county as the principal. Now he is already the head of the grade, so it won't be long before he is promoted to the principal.

As you enter the door, there is a wall behind the door. On the left, there is a double sofa and a coffee table. In the middle facing the door is a red wooden table with a computer and a chair. Next to it is a large iron filing cabinet. It is a very traditional school office setting.

A group of people sat in a circle around the coffee table, listening to the head teacher assigning them the important task of managing the class, asking them to lead the class to set an example for key classes and help their classmates grow together.

I'm sorry, I've been working here for a long time and have heard my boss say too many empty words. I can't help but translate his subtext in my mind as: If you're a class leader, you're not allowed to cause trouble, you have to have good grades, strong abilities, and obey the rules.

Thinking of this, Fu Ying wanted to laugh again, but she immediately clenched her teeth and didn't show any sign of it. She was right next to the head teacher and couldn't let anything show!

After listening to the rambling, the head teacher waved and asked everyone to go back to the classroom. Fu Ying was stopped when she was about to follow.

Oh, she is the temporary Chinese class representative...

"Fu Ying, from now on, you should write down the Chinese homework assigned on the blackboard before school is over every day to remind your classmates to complete their homework. As long as there is homework assigned the day before, you should collect it and bring it to my office after morning reading the next day. I will correct it and bring it to the classroom after class. Morning reading for Chinese is on Mondays and Tuesdays. You should come a few minutes early to lead the reading and keep an eye on your classmates.

There is no homework today. Let the students preview the new lesson. The class will start tomorrow."

Fu Ying nodded, then looked around the office. There was nowhere to put it. "Teacher, where should we put the homework after we collect it? Please tell me a fixed place."

The head teacher took a look and pointed to the two empty cabinets in the middle of the filing cabinet. "Then put the collected documents on the left, and I will put them on the right after I have revised them. If you see that the documents on the right have been revised, you can take them and distribute them."

There was nothing else, so Fu Ying said goodbye to her head teacher and walked towards the teaching building. At the door of the high school mathematics office, she met Teacher Liu who helped introduce her in. Fu Ying quickly nodded and greeted Teacher Liu.

When he saw Fu Ying, he nodded and asked her if she had come to see the class teacher. Fu Ying said yes. He encouraged Fu Ying with a few words, asked her to keep working hard, and then let her go.

Back in the teaching building, Fu Ying looked for the toilet and found it at the end of the second floor. As soon as she entered, she was stunned.

Who's in high school and still has only half a door for the toilet, less than shoulder height, so people who go in can see clearly, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Fu Ying quickly found an empty seat to go to the toilet. No matter whether others could see her or not, it was important for her to get out quickly after using the toilet.

This should prevent toilet bullying, because everyone can see it, which is a good thing. There is a lot of bullying in junior high and high school campuses, and people are blocked and locked in toilets everywhere. If there is a similar situation, this height can be climbed up.

Fu Ying knew that after the national anti-bullying regulations came out, some schools simply removed the plugs and unplugged the toilet doors, allowing them to be closed but not locked, in order to prevent such incidents.

After leaving the toilet, Fu Ying decided to hold it in when she got home next time. It was too uncomfortable!

On the way back to class, I passed by other classes in the first year of high school. They were playing and fighting, and it was quite lively.

I thought the next class would be the class teacher again, but a new teacher came in, who seemed to teach math. He wore a very distinctive polo shirt tucked into his trousers, black leather shoes, a Mediterranean hairstyle, a serious yet funny face, and stood on the podium while scanning the audience.

He introduced himself with a strong local accent, "Hello, students! I am your math teacher Yuan Zhongping. You will be admitted to the first class only if you rank high in the initial test at the beginning of the semester. I hope you will continue to study hard. If you don't study math seriously, you will definitely not get a high score. Only by listening carefully to the lectures and doing more exercises can you feel the fun of math.

I won't ask you to introduce yourselves. I'll call the roll, and those whose names are called, please raise your hands and say "Here we are." I won't call the roll at irregular intervals in class in the future. You must listen carefully and answer at any time.

Next, Yuan Jun," the math teacher looked over there after calling the roll.

Fu Ying understood. She was not speculating intentionally, but after working for a long time, she got used to hearing a sentence and would start to think about the whole story.

Those who look directly at the student without waiting for him to be called and know exactly where he is are either related by blood or have been teachers and students for many years and are very familiar with each other. If they have the same surname, the former is more likely.

"Fu Ying,"

Hearing her name, Fu Ying raised her right hand and shouted. At this time, the teacher looked around after calling the name, and only found her seat after hearing the answer.

The math class didn't teach anything new. After clicking on it, the math teacher shared the learning methods of this subject and recommended some extracurricular tutoring materials. Fu Ying wrote them down. Whether it was the learning methods or the materials, she could refer to them and adjust them according to her actual situation.

The last two classes in the morning were both English classes. The English teacher was Li Meixiang, also known as Sharon. She was very sophisticated and fashionable. She was relatively young among the teachers she had met, probably around 30 years old. She wore a floral dress, light makeup, and had slightly curled hair. It was obvious that she took good care of herself.

When Fu Ying saw the image of the English teacher, she suddenly thought of Zhang Zun's elder sister. His elder sister was an English teacher in elementary school. In her daily life, she wore a dress with high heels, light makeup but a blank expression. She had a strong aura as an old teacher.

The English teacher also called out the names but did not ask for self-introductions. Fu Ying breathed a sigh of relief. It was not because her spoken English was bad, but she did not know whether to say her English name when introducing herself.

Her English name is Iris. At that time, she just wanted to choose a short, easy-to-read, and common English name. She looked for similar names based on the pronunciation of Ying, and only Iris looked good. Later, she found that the first letter was pronounced as Ai, but she was too lazy to look for a new name, so she kept using it. She also looked up information and found that if it really needs to be translated into Chinese, Iris means iris, but she rarely explained it and just said it was chosen at random.

Fu Ying feels that she suffers from name shame, especially when it comes to introducing her English name, so she is glad that she doesn’t have to say it out loud.

After calling the roll, the English teacher did not talk about the study methods, but directly explained the phonetic symbols, had everyone practice several times, and then asked himself to practice.

As a result, she was called out again, fortunately, she was called out from the back door.
