Contest

At the meeting on Friday, the school assigned a new task to the young teachers: to take the students of the Department of American Education to the orphanage to do charity work.

This is a project led by the Municipal Women's Federation and the Welfare Institute. It is hoped that the pilot project will start with well-known universities and will be connected for a long time.

Yue Yang, as a lecturer in the Art Teaching Department, was selected as the project leader.

The plan sounds good, but in reality it faces many difficulties.Education is a gradual process, especially for children with special needs, and social support needs to be considered.

Therefore, after tea and dinner, he and Yue Yang discussed a lot of ethical issues, and sometimes talked late into the night, saying "good night" and "see you tomorrow", and the atmosphere couldn't help becoming ambiguous.

As a girl who grew up in an ordinary family, Yue Yang envied his knowledge and experience.

Xu Jiangtong knew what she was thinking, and tried every means to distance himself, but working in the same department, contact was inevitable.

In addition, after autumn, the weather is unpredictable, rainy, and the sun cannot be seen for a few days, which makes him extremely depressed.

Walking into the lecture theater, Tao Xihong was still sitting in the front row.

"Haven't you slept lately, okay? You look so sluggish." He answered the words naturally, with the tone of an old acquaintance.

so obvious?Xu Jiangtong tried his best to smile a little: "It's okay."

Tao Xihong asked again: "Being a university teacher is very stressful. You should exercise more to relax your mind."

"..." She still didn't give up.Xu Jiangtong rubbed the center of his eyebrows helplessly, and sat on the edge of the podium in a daze.

This lesson continues with the differentiation of art genres.Recalling his experience of visiting students everywhere, his mood improved.

Just as he was speaking with gusto, a dazzling white light flashed outside the window.Before he could react, there was loud thunder outside the house.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of rain, and the table by the window was instantly wet by the rain, and there was a smell of grass in the air.

There was an uproar in the classroom, the students got up and closed the windows one after another, and some complained that they didn't bring an umbrella.

Xu Jiangtong just said that he was tired, so he took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and leaned lazily on the podium.After waiting for 1 minute, the noise finally dissipated.

He cleared his throat, and then introduced his own story: "In the summer vacation of my sophomore year, my classmates and I went to the New York Academy of Art for study. That was my first formal contact with modern design concepts. I took a group of tourist photos without artistic flavor."

After speaking, a photo of "yeah" appeared on the screen.

Xu Jiangtong was young and cute ten years ago.His brown hair was messed up by the wind, a pair of exaggerated sunglasses on his face full of collagen, a sports coat around his waist, and a big hiking bag.

Under the pull of the schoolbag strap, the strong muscles in the chest are looming.

The classmates were amused by his humor.

"Meow—" Suddenly, a cat meowed out of the door.

I saw a chubby big orange squeeze in through the gap in the door, gurgling to shake off the rainwater on its body.After staring at each other for a few seconds, it was attracted by the colorful pictures on the projection. It took a catwalk and jumped onto the podium, raised its front paw to press the mouse, and shook it twice vigorously.

"Meow?" Seeing that the mouse didn't move, it yelled a few times in confusion.

"Ahem." Xu Jiangtong was amused by its stupid appearance, and pushed the mouse up a few centimeters without any trace, "Okay, welcome new members to join the class."

Seeing the prey "escaping", the little orange cat started chasing it fiercely, jumped up and down along the wall, and pulled itself into a cat's liquid.

"Hahaha..." The atmosphere in the classroom became lively.

Xu Jiangtong knew that everyone was not interested in attending the class, so he simply picked up the laser pointer and scanned the screen twice.

The cat's attention is again attracted by the red dot of the laser pointer.Xu Jiangtong pointed to the picture on the courseware, and took the opportunity to tease the cat with the little red dot, while lecturing slowly, his movements and voice entered the same frequency.

The orange cat chased the beam of light for a long time, barked a few times exhaustedly, walked to the door and lay down.

"Haveaniceday~" Xu Jiangtong said goodbye to it with a lot of meaning.

When Tao Xihong heard his lazy ending, he realized that he was teasing the cat belatedly.

Such a naive thing, can a university teacher really do it?

Tao Xihong felt that this was completely different from the teacher in his impression.

Evening classes ended, and the showers still didn't stop.There is a place to rent umbrellas at the entrance of the teaching building, and the students rushed out of the classroom in a hurry, not wanting to get caught in the rain.

Xu Jiangtong took an umbrella, so he didn't rush to leave, and sat on the teacher's special chair beside the podium to rest.

The orange cat was frightened by the sound of continuous footsteps, but rushed to his side instead.

Tao Xihong was not in a hurry to leave, he approached him, pointed to the laser pointer and said, "Teacher, can you lend me a moment?"

Xu Jiangtong waved his hand and said softly, "It's almost asleep."

oppressive rule?Tao Xihong clicked his tongue boredly: "Teacher, the way you play with cats is really childish."

Xu Jiangtong answered the wrong question: "It's raining so much, why don't you go home?"

"I didn't bring an umbrella, I plan to wait for the rain to subside." Tao Xihong shrugged, felt a ham sausage in his pocket, squatted down and peeled it for it to eat.

"Don't feed it this." Xu Jiangtong suddenly raised his voice.

Tao Xihong shook his hands in fright and looked up at him.

Xu Jiangtong resumed his voice in class, and explained lightly: "There are no sweat glands on the cat's skin, and it is difficult to excrete salt from the body, which will increase the burden on the kidneys."

After a moment's pause, he added: "Precisely speaking, it's best not to give any human food to animals."

"Okay." Tao Xihong could only eat the ham sausage, "Teacher has a cat at home?"

"Keep a dog."

He heard the dog getting more excited: "What breed? How old? Male and female?"

"Samoyed." Xu Jiangtong raised his hand and gestured, "Three and a half years old."

It turned out to be the dog of my dreams.Tao Xihong was overwhelmed with envy, so he could only use the cat to relieve his worries and stroke the thick fur on its back.

"Meow..." It raised its head in enjoyment and rubbed against his warm palm.

Only then did Tao Xihong realize that the cat's right eye was closed.

"Why are you half blind?" He suddenly became furious, and couldn't help but curse, "What kind of mentality do these cat abusers have!"

"It's not necessarily man-made, stray cats have a high probability of getting sick."

Hearing the word stray cat, Tao Xihong gritted his teeth.

"Teacher," he suddenly changed into a mature tone, "what do you think is the root cause of stray cats?"

"Abandonment, trafficking, or the birth of natural species." Xu Jiangtong gave the answer almost without thinking, "But from a philosophical point of view, discussing the origin of the world's first stray cat is worse than thinking about how it was domesticated by humans."

Tao Xihong was amused by his words, fondled the orange cat in his hand lovingly, and said in a low voice: "Many people just treat their pets as toys, and throw them on the street when they get tired of playing with them. It's totally irresponsible. It's like..."

"It's like some parents can't raise their children at all, and they have to give birth irresponsibly, and finally... throw them into the orphanage."

"Huh?" Xu Jiangtong didn't expect him to take the topic so far. Thinking of the public welfare project he was in charge of recently, he asked a lot: "Tao Xihong, do you think that with the existing social resources, we can guarantee the survival of orphans and compulsory education? , provide them with extended education?"

"This..." Tao Xihong's voice trembled, "I don't know. Welfare homes are also divided into three or six grades. The welfare homes in Jingzhou have government support, so maybe they can do it."

"But if orphans in big cities can enjoy high-quality education, it's too unfair for children from poor families to fail to graduate from junior high school."

"There is no absolute fairness in society." Tao Xihong's voice was muffled, "Is this teacher clearer than me?"

The sound of rain gradually stopped.

Xu Jiangtong watched him huddled in a corner, playing with the cat without saying a word, and felt that the atmosphere was a bit subtle.

Could his mood be as easily affected by the weather as himself?

"The rain is about to stop." Xu Jiangtong walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

Tao Xihong's legs felt a little numb after squatting for a long time, and when he got up, he accidentally tilted his body.Xu Jiangtong didn't have time to move away, and the tips of their noses touched lightly for a moment without warning.

"Hey, sorry." Tao Xihong rubbed his nose and apologized jokingly.

Seeing that Xu Jiangtong was stunned, he moved forward on purpose: "Why did my art history teacher discuss philosophical issues today?"
