"Mr. Fang," Baldy took the initiative to comfort Fang Yan as he rowed the boat. "Young people shouldn't be discouraged easily. Back in the day, I wanted to be a musician too … "
"But you ended up becoming the school's security guard?" Fang Yan turned to look at Baldy and asked, "What are you trying to say?"
Baldy chuckled and said, "Do your students not like you?"
"Impossible." Fang Yan denied his baseless guess. "I'm not bragging, but if Rosefinch Secondary were to select the top ten most popular teachers of the year, I would definitely be number one."
"Then why aren't they applauding?" Baldy asked, puzzled. "Although I'm not cultured, I think the poem you recited just now was quite cultured …"
"That was a recitation. An emotional recitation, "Fang Yan corrected him.
"Yes, yes. Recitation. I think your recitation was quite emotional, but why didn't they feel anything at all? Look, these little brats didn't applaud for you … "
"That's because it's not time yet …" Fang Yan stretched out three fingers and then pressed them down one by one, counting, "Three, two, one … Applaud."
Clatter …
As if it had been discussed beforehand, applause rang out on Sparrow Bridge, mixed with the shouts of the students.
"Mr. Fang, you're too handsome. You're too handsome. You're Xu Zhimo … "
"Oppa, oppa, you're my Prince Charming …"
"Mr. Fang, we also want to take a boat …"
…
Fang Yan ignored Baldy's look of surprise and admiration and said, "Baldy, row the boat back."
Baldy was very angry and said, "When you went to borrow a boat from me just now, call me Captain Cai … You can't burn the bridge after you've used me. You're a teacher, you can't call me Baldy like those little brats. That will have a bad influence on those students. "
"Okay, Baldy," Fang Yan said.
"…" Baldy felt helpless.
Fang Yan walked over and patted Baldy's shoulder. "Captain Cai, maybe those little bastards have told you before, or maybe they've temporarily forgotten about it … But, thank you."
"Every student who graduates from Rosefinch Secondary will have a memory of Baldy paddling a long pole in the Sparrow River. You're inconspicuous now, but in the future, in their memories, your bald head will shine with a golden light. "
Baldy rubbed his eyes and said with reddened eyes, "Everything about Sparrow River is great, but there are a lot of bugs … Mr Fang, you can just call me Baldy. I love to hear it. "
"Alright, Baldy." Fang Yan put his arm around Baldy's shoulders and laughed out loud.
The boat stopped by the shore. Fang Yan waved to the students on the bridge and shouted, "Everyone, come here."
Thus, the students surrounded him with a loud "boom".
"Mr Fang, why did you ask for a boat?"
"Baldy, did you drink today?"
"Mr Fang, don't tell me you want me to go on a boat and learn poetry?"
…
"I want you to go on a boat and learn poetry," Fang Yan said with a smile. He could clearly feel that the students in the class were looking at him differently, especially some of the female students … What do you want? I'm a teacher, okay? We're not of the same social class. Don't tell me you want to woo me? "Seeking dreams? Paddling a long pole to where the grass is greener … How can you paddle a long pole without a boat? What is a poem? It's only when it's expressed with emotion. Only by sitting on a boat will you be able to understand the romance and deep feelings expressed in this poem. "
Clap …
The students spontaneously applauded.
Thus, such a scene happened on Sparrow River today.
The wooden boat moved slowly on Sparrow River. One after another, students in Rosefinch Secondary's uniform stood at the bow of the ebony boat with their heads held high and their chests puffed out. They held books in their hands and recited loudly, "Seeking dreams? Paddling a long pole to where the grass is greener … "
In the process of reciting, they would do all sorts of strange actions that they created themselves.
For example, when they recited, "Softly I leave, just as softly I come", they would blow a farewell kiss to the students on the shore. For example, when they recited, "The golden willow by the riverside is the bride in the setting sun", they would reveal an intoxicated expression to the girls in the class …
This was a poetic recitation, a reenactment of the scene, and a creative expression.
After a student finished reciting, Baldy dutifully sent him to the shore. Then, another student eagerly jumped onto the bow of the boat.
The students had already formed a long queue, and they proceeded in an orderly manner according to the order of their student numbers. There were no arguments, no pushing, and only a happy tacit understanding.
Dang dang dang …
The electronic bell of the school rang.
"Ah …" the students cried out in surprise.
"Why is the class ending so soon?"
"That's right, it's not my turn yet …"
"What should we do? I don't want to end class … "
…
When Fang Yan heard the commotion behind him, he waved his hand to signal for everyone to quiet down. He smiled and said, "Doesn't everyone want to go back?"
"No," the students replied in unison.
"Do you still want to continue your classes on Sparrow River?"
"Yes," the students shouted loudly.
Some of them also shouted with grievance, "Teacher, it's not our turn yet … We've waited for so long. Wouldn't it be too unfair for us to go back like this? "
Fang Yan nodded to show that he understood everyone's thoughts. He said, "Then let's continue. The next class is still Chinese. Have you forgotten? "
"Yay …"
The students cheered, and some of the more active students even jumped in joy.
However, the end of class brought some negative effects to Fang Yan's class. There were too many onlookers.
The originally quiet and desolate Sparrow River was now crowded with people. Many students in school uniforms rushed over in groups of twos or threes.
They pointed at the ebony boat on Sparrow River, and they were very curious about this new teaching method.
In Rosefinch Secondary, or rather, in the entire world of Hua Xia High School, there was no teacher who would use this method to teach students "Farewell to Cambridge Again".
…
…
Bang bang!
Someone knocked on the office door.
Lu Chaoge covered the financial aid proposal for needy students in her hands and shouted, "Come in."
The plump Zheng Jing jogged in. First, he eagerly filled Lu Chaoge's teacup with hot water. Then, he said with a smile, "Principal Lu, something strange happened in the school."
"What strange thing?" Lu Chaoge asked expressionlessly. Although she knew that Zheng Jing was the lackey and informant that that person had arranged to be by her side, she really needed such a lackey and informant in the school. He was the first to report to her many interpersonal relationships and the latest 'interesting news' that happened in the school.
Zheng Jing handled this area very well. There were no mediocre people in this world. It was just that you didn't know your place.
"That new teacher … Fang Yan," Zheng Jing said with a chuckle. "He brought the students of Class 9 to Sparrow Bridge. He got Baldy to row the boat with the students on Sparrow River …"
Lu Chaoge stood up abruptly.
This bastard. What was he trying to do? Didn't he know that Zheng Tiancheng's people were watching him like a hungry tiger?
Lu Chaoge felt that she had done something stupid. Why did she keep this person who didn't look like a good person? Was it because he helped her improve the 'Stairway to Heaven'?
Lu Chaoge was in a bad mood. She felt that ever since Fang Yan came, her work had become more challenging.
"Why did he do that?" Lu Chaoge asked.
Seeing that Lu Chaoge was suppressing her anger, Zheng Jing began to add fuel to the fire. He said, "I asked around. He said that he brought the students to learn something called 'Farewell to Cambridge Again' … Is there such a teaching method? Just to learn a poem, he brought the students to risk their lives on Sparrow River. What if something happened to the students? Who would be responsible for it? Teacher Fang Yan is still too young. He doesn't use his brain when doing things. This time, I'm afraid that Headmaster Zheng is going to make a move on him. Headmaster Lu spent so much effort to protect him, but he doesn't know how to cherish it … "
"Are you done?" Lu Chaoge stared at Zheng Jing and asked.
"Headmaster Lu …"
"Bring me to have a look," Lu Chaoge said.
"…"
…
…
"That's too much." Chen Dahai barged into Li Mingqiang's office angrily and said, "Headmaster, you can't do that. If anything happens to the students, wouldn't the parents rush in and tear us apart? "
Li Mingqiang and Chen Dahai had a close relationship, and they both belonged to Zheng Tiancheng's camp. Therefore, his words and actions were more straightforward.
Li Mingqiang gestured for Chen Dahai to sit down and said, "Old Chen, what happened again? What made you so angry? "
"It's that stupid Chinese teacher … He didn't teach properly during class time and brought the students to Sparrow River to row. Who would be responsible if the students' homework was delayed? Who would be responsible if anything happened to the students? This is Rosefinch Secondary, not a community kindergarten. "
Li Mingqiang's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "This stupid is really daring. However, doesn't this give us a good reason to chase him out? "
Chen Dahai squinted his eyes and smiled. He said, "This time, let Old Merchant do the firing?"
"Old Merchant is the leader of the first year's Chinese team. It's appropriate for him to do the firing." Li Ziqiang nodded while thinking. "If we take down Fang this time, our beautiful principal's face will definitely be ugly, right?"
"Headmaster, take the opportunity to comfort her. Maybe you can get intimate with her," Chen Dahai said in a flattering manner.
Li Ziqiang's sharp eyes swept over Chen Dahai and said, "Old Chen, some things can't be said carelessly. You'll bring trouble to yourself and me. "
"Yes. Yes. I understand, Headmaster. "Li Dahai quickly apologized. He thought to himself that with the protection of that god, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot if they wanted to touch that woman. He was full of powerlessness.
"Just be careful in the future. We're brothers. There's no need to apologize. "Li Ziqiang waved his hand. "Call Old Merchant over. I'll talk to him. This is such a serious matter. As the leader of the Chinese team, he has to stand up and say something. "
"Okay. Headmaster. I'll go get him now. "Chen Dahai agreed with a smile. "Last time, he managed to escape. This time, let's see how he escapes."
"Old Chen, that's not right. We're trying to calm down the teachers of Rosefinch Secondary and chase some black sheep out of the school."
"Headmaster, you're the best."
Chen Dahai and Li Ziqiang looked at each other and laughed heartily.
