Innovation meant being different from others.
Therefore, in everyone's eyes, you were a freak.
Fang Yan didn't think of himself as a freak, he was just a …
He thought about it seriously, then softly said to himself, "A dreamer."
When he first read Farewell to Cambridge Again by Xu Zhimo, he had such a fantasy. In the evening, on a clear river where fish and seaweed could be seen swimming at the bottom, he would hold a long pole and leisurely travel between the green mountains and the blue water, looking for the romantic passion and the mood of parting that the poet wrote this poem … Or perhaps, he would enjoy this special leisurely and contented mood.
He hadn't had the chance to experience this before. Now, he wanted his students to have no regrets.
Some students didn't even have such a fantasy. But as a teacher, he not only had to impart knowledge, but he also had to understand how to open the mind … Wasn't that what teachers were supposed to do?
Students were very sensitive to new things. This could be seen from the increasing number of students gathering on both sides of Sparrow River.
"Hey, how romantic. You must have a deeper understanding of the poem this way, right? "
"Exactly. Why didn't our language teacher think of such a good idea? "
"Grandstanding, this is the new language teacher from Class 9 trying to attract attention …"
…
As Lu Chaoge watched the students recite their poems at Sparrow River, she listened to the discussions of the students around her. This confirmed her suspicions and worries. She said to Zheng Jing, who was following closely behind, "Zheng Jing, go and do two things."
"Principal Lu, what are they?" Zheng Jing looked like he was about to make a move. Was she going to call Fang Yan over and give him a good scolding?
"First, write an application form for extracurricular activities and leave it on my desk," Lu Chaoge instructed bluntly. "In Fang Yan's name."
"Second, inform Jia Siting, the head of the first-year language team, and ask him to gather all the teachers at Sparrow River."
"…" Zheng Jing felt that his ears must have been damaged. "Principal Lu, isn't this too risky?"
Lu Chaoge sneered and said, "It's risky if we don't do this."
Lu Chaoge was a very smart woman. Although she hadn't been back in China for a long time, she still had some experience in the operation of the school and the political struggle in the office.
Fang Yan's intention was naturally for the sake of the students, but he had pushed himself into danger by doing so.
First, he didn't report to the school. If he didn't report to the school, he wouldn't get a risk assessment from the school. If something were to happen, who would be responsible? The people on Zheng Tiancheng's side were likely to use this as a target to find trouble with him.
Now, what she needed to do was to help him fill in the application form.
Although this application should have been submitted to the Chinese Literature Department, he was new and didn't know the rules … This excuse was still plausible.
Secondly, his novel teaching method had not been discussed and approved by the language group. This would embarrass all the language teachers and make things difficult for them.
If she took the initiative to make Fang Yan a role model, she could clearly and unmistakably tell everyone that Fang Yan's method was correct … then they could only learn from him without the right to question him.
This would save Fang Yan a lot of trouble. Of course, it would also add a lot of burden to his teaching career in the future … jealousy existed everywhere. If a new teacher became a role model in the school after only two days, what would the other teachers think of him?
Of course, Lu Chaoge didn't care about this, and she believed that Fang Yan wouldn't care either. A person who didn't attract jealousy was a mediocre person. From this lesson with Fang Yan, she knew that the overly young fellow was actually the same type of person as her.
"Principal Lu, what I'm saying is that we don't need to go against Director Zheng and the others for a teacher like Fang Yan who likes to cause trouble. Even if we manage to save him this time, what about next time? "
"You definitely won't understand." Lu Chaoge stared at Zheng Jing with her beautiful eyes and said word by word, "I'm not protecting Fang Yan. I'm protecting Rosefinch Secondary, protecting the students of Rosefinch Secondary."
"I don't quite understand."
"You don't need to understand." Lu Chaoge glanced at him coldly. "Execute."
"Yes. Principal Lu. " Zheng Jing was unwilling to give up. He glared fiercely at where Fang Yan was standing, then quickly ran towards the direction of the teaching building.
…
…
Fang Yan didn't think too much. He was just doing what he wanted to do to his heart's content.
Gossip was a fearful thing, but if you didn't do anything, that would be the truly terrifying thing.
What were mediocre people's favorite things to do? To desperately drag you to the same starting line as them. This would make them look better, and they could proudly say to others, "Look, we're all the same."
More and more students gathered to watch, and this created a lot of pressure for the students who were about to board the boat.
Some students were very daring. The bigger the stage, the more excited they were.
However, more students were afraid of being in front of the stage. The number of people watching from both sides of the Sparrow River was comparable to the number of students attending a large-scale school event … And the students of Class 9 were the performers on stage.
"I know you're all very nervous." Fang Yan looked at the remaining students who hadn't boarded the boat and said loudly, "To be honest, I'm just as nervous as you are. Originally, I only needed to teach 40 students from Class 9, but now I have to teach all the teachers and students in the school … "
Everyone laughed, but it was a little forced.
"Actually, there are many ways to solve this. We can wait until the bell rings before continuing. I can also say that we're done now and bring you back to the classroom … but I don't want to do that."
"Why should I do that? Because there are too many students, I'll become timid? Because there are people watching, I'll choose to give up? I'm not the kind of brave soldier who can go on the battlefield and kill enemies, but I'm definitely not a coward who will run away when there are slightly more people. "
"If we give up today, will we still choose to give up the next time we encounter a situation like this, or an even bigger one? Sometimes, giving up once is equivalent to giving up on your own life. "
"You're all still young, and you have countless opportunities to give up. I'm also as young as you, and I also have countless opportunities to choose again. However, when we leave Rosefinch, enter university, and enter society, we'll become sophisticated and sophisticated, and we'll become old and tired. At that time, we'll definitely regret giving up today. "
Fang Yan raised his voice and asked loudly, "Now tell me, will you choose to fight like a brave soldier, or will you choose to be a deserter and a coward?"
"I'll go," a tall male student shouted loudly. His name was Zhao Lei, and he was the student who gave Zheng Guodong, Chen Tao, and Li Yang the leave slip before class. Fang Yan had a deep impression of him. His face was flushed, and he was stirred up by Fang Yan's words. He wanted to immediately go to the battlefield and be a soldier who fought fiercely.
"I'll go. I'll go. I'm not afraid of many people. "
"Why do you have to go? Before, it was arranged according to the student number, and now it's my turn … "A girl wearing glasses shouted angrily.
Fang Yan chuckled at the side. These students had made the right choice.
Of course, it was under his wise leadership.
Lu Chaoge looked at this scene from afar, and her heart felt infinite joy and gratification.
"Maybe it's not bad to break through this guy." Lu Chaoge murmured.
Zheng Guodong, Li Yang, and Chen Tao also came. In order to gain sympathy, Zheng Guodong's eyes were still covered with gauze, and Li Yang and Chen Tao's faces were also covered with red medicine. The medicine was distributed very unevenly. It seemed that the 'nurse' who did it was very amateur.
After the three arrived, they didn't greet Fang Yan. They just stood far behind the crowd, and looked at Fang Yan with eyes full of malice.
They originally wanted to spend another two days in the ward, and sent a message to Zhao Lei to help them ask for a day off. They didn't expect Zhao Lei to quickly send them a message: If the teacher doesn't approve the leave slip, you can either come to class or skip class.
They also thought of fighting with Fang Yan to the end, but Chen Tao's words woke them up. If we don't go, won't that bastard have an excuse to drive us away?
Therefore, they immediately packed up and jogged to school.
When they arrived at the classroom, they found it empty.
After asking the students in the next class, they found out that the teacher had brought all the students to Sparrow River for class. Although they didn't understand why they were having class here, they could only jog over to join the group.
They ignored Fang Yan, and Fang Yan also didn't take the initiative to talk to them. He only whispered to Huang Haoran, who was standing beside him, that Zheng Guodong, Li Yang, and Chen Tao were absent for a period without reason.
"I'll write it down," Huang Haoran said cooperatively.
The class continued, and the recitation continued.
The students who boarded the boat later didn't get stage fright because there were too many onlookers. Instead, they used all their strength and put in more effort.
The recitation became more and more emotional, and the performance became more and more exquisite. The tall boy called Zhao Lei performed so well that even Fang Yan praised him, and was the first to stand up and applaud him.
When the bell rang, most of the onlookers on the riverbank dispersed, but there was still a group of spectators who stayed on the riverbank.
Lu Chaoge, Li Mingqiang, Chen Dahai, and a large group of familiar and unfamiliar Rosefinch Secondary teachers stood guard at the side. Fang Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He knew things would get out of hand.
The last to board the boat was a girl. Fang Yan patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "I'll give everyone a perfect ending."
The girl pushed up her little red glasses and said, "Mr. Fang, I'll definitely work hard and won't let you down …"
"It's up to you."
The girl boarded the boat, and Baldy rowed it toward the center of the river.
"Softly I leave, softly I come. Softly I wave my hand … "
Plop!
The girl was so focused on reciting that she didn't notice that the boat under her feet slipped. She didn't tell everyone in advance and fell into the Sparrow River.
"Mr. Fang, a student fell into the water …" Baldy shouted toward the riverbank.
"Save them!" Fang Yan shouted anxiously. He jumped into the river with a plop and rowed toward the center of the Sparrow River with all his might.
