1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 186: You are telling this to everyone in public? (Request full order)
Not only is it not necessary!

Cheng Xuemin was only preparing for a large class, but now he is directly turning it into a lecture in the auditorium. How can this be explained?
It seems that there is not even a blackboard in the auditorium?

Lectures in this era are not taught by making courseware directly or projecting PPT on a display screen, but are written manually with chalk.

It's good now!

Just don't write it on the blackboard, just make it a speech in the auditorium.

"Is this not necessary? Look at how many people are outside?!"

Cheng Yuzhu also clicked his tongue and asked, "Xuemin, Director Yang asked me to ask you, are you ready for today's lecture?"

"Our class was originally scheduled to last for one hour, but it seems that the situation may change. It may take up two classes, about 90 minutes!"

"I have already mobilized all the students in our Chinese Department to go to the auditorium to help arrange seats and maintain order!"

It's so sad and funny.

Originally, Cheng Xuemin was going to give this class to his own students in the Chinese department, but now what has happened!

Their own students had no time to sit down and attend the class, so they all had to be mobilized to go to the auditorium and maintain order.

Otherwise, with so many students, how can we teach if we don’t maintain order and the whole place is in chaos?

"I have no problem preparing lessons!"

"If we really have to change to a large auditorium, then it will be even easier for me. I can just speak it and treat it as a speech!"

Cheng Xuemin smiled at Cheng Yuzhu half-jokingly and half-seriously, and the next thing was supposed to be a speech.

"Yes, yes, yes, Xueminni's explanation is correct, it's a speech!"

Cheng Yuzhu also nodded in agreement. What he was most worried about was that Cheng Xuemin would fail to deliver. After all, he was a new teacher who had never been on the podium and taught a class to students.

But now, out of the blue, he is asked to give a large class to thousands of people. Not only is Cheng Yuzhu afraid that he will be scared, but even Director Yang is worried!
Anyway, if it was Cheng Yuzhuo who was in charge, he would definitely be very nervous and would not speak very well.

Soon after, seeing that the time was almost up, Cheng Yuzhu urged Cheng Xuemin to hurry to the auditorium.

"Xuemin, I heard that the lecture venue has been changed to the auditorium!"

Feng Jiayou and the others who were waiting downstairs did not follow the crowd. When they saw Cheng Xuemin coming down, they quickly told him what they had found out.

"It's time to change to the auditorium! Let's go there now!"

"Oh, my dear, don't run around, there are too many people here!"

"Second sister-in-law and elder sister, please help look after the little one at home!"

Cheng Xuemin looked at his wife's big belly and began to worry.

With so many students, even if we move to a larger auditorium, there may not be enough seats to accommodate them all.

If they squeeze and shove Feng Jiayou out, Cheng Xuemin will regret it too late.

I want my woman to just go home and not join in the fun.

It can be seen that his daughter-in-law's face is flushed, and he knows that it is definitely impossible to let her go back at this time.

"Okay, okay!" My second sister-in-law and my elder sister nodded repeatedly when they heard this.

"Xuemin this way, Xuemin this way!"

"Aren't you afraid that those students will recognize you over there?"

The head teacher Cheng Yuzhuo, who followed closely, saw Cheng Xuemin was about to follow the crowd and walk towards the auditorium, so he hurriedly shouted.

"Feng Jiayou, you guys come along too. Huang Beijia, Cha Jianying and the others have already gone over there to help maintain order!"

Then the green light was given to Cheng Xuemin’s family group!
They all enter the auditorium through the teachers' passage and go directly to the podium.

It's so dark!
When Cheng Xuemin and his companions arrived at the podium in the auditorium, they found that the entire auditorium was already dark, filled with eagerly waiting students.

"Xuemin, Director Yang is waiting for you upstairs! I'll take you over there to talk to him first!"

Cheng Yuzhuo accompanied him in and was also shocked by the terrifying crowd in the auditorium.

It has been many years since I last saw such a grand sight!
Even when the national college entrance examination was resumed last year, the opening ceremony of Yanda University for recruiting new students was not so exaggerated, right?

Seeing the department head Lao Yang organizing people to maintain order on the rostrum, Cheng Yuzhuo signaled to Cheng Xuemin to go up and say hello and communicate.

"Jiayou, this way, this way, our class is arranged over here!"

Huang Beijia also saw Cheng Xuemin and his group appear at the side door under the rostrum, and hurried over to help greet Feng Jiayou, shouting.

"Then my wife, take your second sister-in-law and sister and go over first!"

Cheng Xuemin took the opportunity to look over and found that the seat reserved for him by the Chinese Department was relatively close to the front and not too crowded, so he felt relieved to let Feng Jiayou sit there.

"Xuemin, you're here!"

After Cheng Yuzhuo went up to the podium, Director Yang also saw Cheng Xuemin, so he rushed up to greet him and shouted, "Xuemin, look at your appeal. I want to cancel this class!"

Director Yang was indeed very panicked, and just as he said, cancel this class directly because the pressure was too great!

I really didn't expect that he, a newly appointed Chinese lecturer, would have such great influence and appeal.

Their Chinese department arranged a trial class for Cheng Xuemin.

But who would have thought that after the news got out, students from several nearby universities all heard the news and came to Yan University to attend classes.

They really didn't give Yanda any time to prepare!

For such a large number of students attending lectures, Yanjing University should have started making preparations at least a month in advance to ensure that everything goes well.

But the current situation is that it was too sudden and caught Yan University off guard.

All responses are emergency measures, so all arrangements are hasty!
Of course, these are not the most important things!
The most important thing is the lecturer Cheng Xuemin. How much pressure does he have to bear?
This is not just a trial class for Cheng Xuemin alone, but the reputation of the entire Yanda University. It is crucial to make sure this class goes well and there is no room for error.

Then, Director Yang changed the subject and said, "But now that everyone is here, you can just go up and talk casually. Don't be too nervous!"

Although this class may have a great impact, Director Yang was also very nervous and wanted to cancel it!

But it's just talk. If Yanda dares to cancel this class on the spot...

Let's ask Director Yang, does he dare to go up on stage and use the microphone to announce that today's lecture is cancelled and everyone should go home? !
Definitely not!

Since it cannot be cancelled, we have to appease and stabilize the lecturer, and Cheng Xuemin must keep his mentality stable.

Just go up and talk casually, don't be nervous.

"Okay Director Yang, I'll just talk about it! If it's not good, don't ask me to write a self-criticism, okay?"

Cheng Xuemin also joked with Director Yang and laughed.

"No, no, no!" Director Yang was also amused by Cheng Xuemin's words, and then he explained the procedure of the lecture later.

Because the incident happened suddenly, this is no longer a trial class for Cheng Xuemin!
So Director Yang will be the host later and help Cheng Xuemin guide and teach this course. At that time, Cheng Yuzhui, who will be sitting in the podium, will also use signboards to give corresponding prompts.

Immediately afterwards, following Director Yang’s nearly ten-minute opening remarks, it was time for Cheng Xuemin to take the stage to give his formal lecture.

"Oh, Xuemin, I forgot to ask you!" "What is the topic of your lecture today?"

When handing over the microphone to Cheng Xuemin, Director Yang seemed to have overlooked an extremely important thing and did not tell Cheng Xuemin!
If this was just an ordinary lecture in the Chinese Department of Yenching University, then lecturer Cheng Xuemin could give the lecture.

But now he is giving open lectures to students from all the major universities in Yenching. If Cheng Xuemin talks about some sensitive topics, then everything will be in vain!
"The topic should be related to the reform and opening up!"

Cheng Xuemin also nodded, whispered something to Director Yang, and then walked to the front desk with the turned-off microphone.

"what?!"

When Director Yang heard what Cheng Xuemin said was related to reform and opening up, he couldn't help but shudder on the spot. He wanted to pull Cheng Xuemin back on the spot, but it was too late!

Oh my God!
Cheng Xuemin wants to talk to students about reform and opening up, not about ancient Chinese literature?
It's fatal!
Director Yang was extremely terrified. How could a new teacher like Cheng Xuemin dare to talk about this topic?
Even though he has the honor of being a pioneer of reform and opening up, he really can't just rush forward like this without any agreement!
Careless! Careless!

Cheng Xuemin should have been given a fixed topic before, and should not have been allowed to express himself freely!

Talk about reform and opening up literature!
Ever since Cheng Xuemin published Director Qiao's Record of Taking Office, a wave of reform and opening-up literature has been sweeping the country.

Especially after he was appointed as the pioneer of reform and opening up, literature related to the reform and opening up emerged like mushrooms after rain.

Just like the publication of "Class Teacher", "Scars" and "The Shepherd" last year, scar literature is all the rage.

But reform and opening-up literature is different from scar literature!

This topic is so sensitive that the reform and opening-up literature that has developed from it has almost formed a 'universal formula'!

The framework of literary content is nothing more than the sharp conflicts between the bold and enterprising pioneers and the stubborn conservative forces, and then overcoming all difficulties and forging ahead with determination, and the reform and opening up achieved unprecedented victory.

This is how all the current reform and opening-up literature is written!

You can write it, but it’s not good to speak publicly in front of thousands of students!
This is to bring conflicts and contradictions to the surface. This is to really be the vanguard and charge forward!

But Cheng Xuemin didn't even think about it!
Just look at the "Record of Director Qiao's Taking Office" that he published. How much criticism did it receive at the time?
No no no!

Director Yang was panicking. He would rather announce the cancellation of the lecture on the spot than let Cheng Xuemin rush up and talk about the reform and opening-up literature.

"Uh?!"

But when Director Yang stomped his feet and was really anxious to rush over and pull Cheng Xuemin down!
At this moment, Cheng Xuemin had already walked to the center of the rostrum, turned on the microphone, and began to say: "Hello everyone, I am Cheng Xuemin!"

"Old Xu, old Xu, old Xu!"

"Old Joe, old Joe, old Joe!"

"Director Qiao, Director Qiao!"

“Pioneer, pioneer, pioneer!”

“Qiao Haiyang Qiao Haiyang Qiao Haiyang!”

"Teacher Cheng, Teacher Cheng, Teacher Cheng!"

But as soon as Cheng Xuemin introduced himself, the students in the audience shouted towards the stage, some called him "Lao Xu", some called him "Lao Qiao", "Director Qiao, Pioneer, Teacher Cheng!"

Anyway, people were shouting all kinds of things, including someone shouting Qiao Haiyang.

Qiao Haiyang is the male protagonist in "My Years in the Corps", but this time Cheng Xuemin did not use him as his pen name, and still used the pen name of the horse herder Lao Xu.

Don’t say it yet!
After saying this, Cheng Xuemin seemed to realize that he used the wrong pen name. He should have used the new pen name "Lao Qiao", which was closer to the male protagonist Qiao Haiyang in "My Years in the Corps".

But I didn’t think too much about it at the time, and now this is all I can do!
After finally calming down the thousands of people in the auditorium, Cheng Xuemin continued with a smile, "Yes, you can also call me Lao Xu and Lao Qiao. Thank you for your kindness and for coming to listen to my class!"

"To be honest, I didn't expect so many classmates and students to come today. What was originally an ordinary trial lesson has become such a big event. The classroom has been moved to the auditorium. I am very afraid that I will not be able to give a good lecture!"

"I originally prepared a lesson plan, but now it seems that I can only put it aside and just talk about it casually!"

"I didn't speak well, please don't blame me, classmates!"

Cheng Xuemin stood on the podium in the auditorium, looking down from above and once again feeling the huge crowd of people in the auditorium. The oppressive aura was even greater than when he was in the audience just now.

After all, no one noticed him in the audience, so Cheng Xuemin didn't quite realize it.

But now he was standing on the podium, facing thousands of pairs of eyes, all staring at him, the only one on the podium.

The momentum of those thousands of people was all pressed upon Cheng Xuemin alone. It would be inhumane to say that he wasn't a little nervous.

Fortunately, after he said a few opening remarks and got used to it, there was thunderous and extremely warm applause from the audience, which reduced Cheng Xuemin's nervousness.

After the applause died down for a long time, Cheng Xuemin continued, "Let's not waste any more time talking nonsense. Let's get down to business and officially start today's lecture!"

"Now, please look at the big blackboard. The topic of my lecture today is written on the blackboard!"

As soon as Cheng Xuemin finished speaking, a student carried a large blackboard onto the podium and stopped beside Cheng Xuemin!

Then Cheng Xuemin took out a white chalk from the chalk box on the podium. Under the watchful eyes of everyone and amidst everyone's discussions, Cheng Xuemin walked to the big blackboard and began to write on it!
change!
When Director Yang saw the first big word written by Cheng Xuemin, which was "改", he was about to go up and pull Cheng Xuemin down, but he realized it was too late!
That's too late!

Cheng Xuemin, the pioneer of reform and opening up, is really going to talk about his reform and opening up literature in front of thousands of college students!
But this literature is too sensitive, it’s really hard to talk about!
No matter how well Cheng Xuemin speaks next, it will touch upon some landmines and it is really difficult to explain.

open!

By the time Cheng Xuemin wrote the second big word, Director Yang had already concluded that Cheng Xuemin was really going to talk about this topic that could easily touch upon the minefield!

Director Yang was so anxious that he slapped his thigh behind the scenes, regretting that he should not have arranged such an open class for Cheng Xuemin!
There was also a lot of heated discussion below, with everyone speculating on the content of Cheng Xuemin’s course today.

Seeing the two big words "Reform and Opening-up" written on the blackboard, everyone reacted. The person on the stage was the pioneer of reform and opening-up who had written the inscription. What else could he talk about if not talking about reform and opening-up?
"Nonsense!"

At some point, Feng's father appeared in the auditorium. When he saw the two big words his son-in-law wrote on the blackboard on the stage, his heart suddenly trembled and his hands began to tremble unconsciously!
It’s still a step too late!
It was during lunch that Mr. Feng learned about the influence and appeal of his open class on good sons-in-law.

So I was afraid that my son-in-law didn't know the seriousness of the matter and would talk about some topics that would easily cross the line, so I thought about coming over and explaining it to him as soon as possible.

But it was still a step too late. The entire auditorium was full of people. Father Feng couldn't squeeze through even if he wanted to. He was anxious and scared!

"It's this topic!?"

"Teacher Gu, isn't Xuemin a little too aggressive? Didn't you and Lao Feng give him some advice?"

Not only Feng's father came secretly, but also his mother-in-law, Feng's mother, and their October editor-in-chief Liu Xinwu.

We just got the news this afternoon. It's said that Cheng Xuemin's open class has become a big hit. It not only attracted a lot of college students, but they also rushed over to attend the class.

Even many educated youth who returned to the city heard the news and came to attend the class!
I don’t know anything else!

Anyway, when they just arrived at the gate of Yan University, they found that there was a steady stream of students and educated youth rushing here.

At the gate of Yanda University, they started to control the flow of people urgently and no one was allowed to enter!
They were all let in through the back door!

It is conceivable how much influence and appeal this class taught by Teacher Gu and her son-in-law has.

of course!

Having influence and appeal is certainly a good thing, but Cheng Xuemin himself, as the person involved, cannot be too arrogant. He must know how to restrain himself and not show off too much.

Don’t say anything you shouldn’t say, but look what’s happening now!

Looking at the two big words written on the blackboard on the rostrum, even Liu Xinwu felt worried about Teacher Gu's son-in-law.

Asking for a monthly ticket!
