1987 My Era

Chapter 26, Past Events

Hearing this strange yet familiar voice, Li Heng quickly turned his head to look over.

Sure enough, a long-lost black figure crossed the road and came behind him.

Her name is Wang Runwen.

She was about 204 or years old, and was the English teacher of Class . There were two things that left the deepest impression on the students during high school:

One is that she has a very plump figure, big where it should be big, small where it should be small, and very well-endowed, making her a frequent dream guest of many adolescent boys.

The second is her catchphrase. She has said to students countless times in class: I will lose weight next month.

Every time they hear her say she wants to lose weight, many boys protest in their hearts: Why lose weight? Just right! Just right!
As it turns out, she just talked about losing weight and forgot about it.

Over the past three years, she has never lost weight, nor has she gained weight, and has always maintained the same figure.

She was very nice to Li Heng, the kind of niceness that came without any reason.

I started teaching him English less than three months into his freshman year of high school and occasionally brought back tutoring materials when I went on business trips or traveled.

Even during the month-long vacation in her second year of high school, she would often invite Li Heng to her house for dinner.

This excessive goodness made everyone envious, but it also made Li Heng distressed.

Since English is inherently deficient in junior high schools, it is the only weak point among all subjects.

Well, this shortcoming is relative. It's not that bad. It's not bad either. For example, in Chinese, out of a total score of 120, I can always get around 96 points, but no more.

Compared with the awesome academic masters like Yang Yingwen, Xiao Feng, Chen Hanjie, Song Yu, Wang Jun, Mai Sui and Xiao Han, there is still some gap.

If it weren't for the fact that his math was always unsolvable and he almost always got full marks, he would probably have been left far behind by these people.

Coming from the countryside, he was just instinctively uncomfortable with this kind of kindness at first, but he didn't notice anything.

Until one day, Liu Yejiang from the class joked with him in the dormitory: "Li Heng, the English teacher is single now. If you propose to her, we all think it is very likely to succeed."

It was such a malicious joke, but it hit Li Heng's heart at once, making him feel very uncomfortable.

That's why I say malicious.

It was because Liu Yejiang had good grades, but as fate would have it, he was always ranked lower than Li Heng. He was always suppressed by Li Heng in the class. Over time, he became resentful and was always trying to compete with Li Heng.

Apart from his grades, what annoyed Liu Yejiang the most was that he heard from a girl in the class who he was close to that Sun Manning, the girl he fell in love with at first sight, seemed to have a crush on Li Heng.

With all these grudges entangled together, he directly regarded Li Heng as his competitor and love rival!
Because of this seemingly joking remark, Li Heng began to re-examine his relationship with his English teacher. Needless to say, he himself felt that they were too close.

I even had paranoia many times before: Does the teacher have ideas about me?
Although the relationship is innocent, there are still those jealous people who like to make up rumors and make fun of it. It's okay once or twice, but if it happens too much, he will have to consider his reputation.

After all, he is a country boy who has not seen the world. After all, he is only in his teens and has not experienced the harshness of society. He will seem helpless when facing some rumors and still can't bear it.

So for a period of time he began to deliberately distance himself from Teacher Wang Runwen.

During that period, whenever he had English class, he would either study on his own and do exercises, or review other subjects. Sometimes he would even sleep and talk on purpose. He used all kinds of tricks, but he just didn't listen to the class properly.

Wang Runwen noticed his changes but said nothing until he only scored 61 points in English in a monthly exam.

100 points out of 61!
what is this concept?

This is the concept of missing out on a key university!

Not only was the head teacher, Wang Qi, anxious, but even the other teachers were getting anxious as well.

After the exam, the class teacher Wang Qi quickly found Wang Runwen to find out what happened and asked why such a thing suddenly happened?
Why did Li Heng’s English grades drop so much?
Facing the inquiry, Wang Runwen thought for a long time and finally said, "I will talk to him tomorrow."

Because Li Heng was so outstanding in mathematics, Wang Qi had always regarded him as a person of high regard and had high hopes for him. He immediately said, "I'll go with you."

Unexpectedly, Wang Runwen refused, "No need, I want to talk to him alone."

This is the second time the two have worked together. They have been working together for several years and get along very well with each other and trust each other very much.

Teacher Wang Qi immediately said, "Okay, talk to him first. If there is a change, that's great. If not, we can work together to find a solution."

It was a foggy morning, and the memory of it is particularly vivid.

When he finished morning exercises and returned to the classroom for morning self-study, the English teacher first walked around the classroom slowly, urging everyone to recite words, sentence patterns and texts, and then came from the back of the aisle to Li Heng, who was sitting in the fourth row of the seventh group.

She tapped his open textbook silently with her fingers and said in a voice that he could just hear:
"Come out with the teacher."

Seeing this, my deskmate Sun Manning asked with concern: "Is it because of your grades?"

Li Heng nodded: "It should be."

Sun Manning put down her pen and asked, "Do you still dare to be alone with her? Do you want me to accompany you?"

Hearing this, Li Heng, who had been hesitant just now, no longer hesitated, stood up and said, "No need." He knew that Sun Manning had the confidence because the principal of No. 1 Middle School was his father, a blood relative.

Under the gaze of the whole class, Li Heng went out of the classroom through the back door.

Perhaps because he was afraid that he might have concerns, the English teacher did not wait for him in the office as usual, but in the corridor where everyone could see him through the window.

Wang Runwen held the concrete railing with both hands and looked at the basketball court below. He did not speak immediately but waited for a while.

When he calmed down a bit, she spoke up, "Are the results of other subjects out?"

Li Heng nodded.

Wang Runwen asked: "How much is mathematics?"

Li Heng replied: "148."

Wang Runwen asked again: "Which question is wrong? Is it the last big question?"

Li Heng shook his head. "No, I wrote the final answer to the second question in a sloppy way, and the examiner mistook 5 for 8."

Hearing this, Wang Runwen finally withdrew his gaze from the playground and turned his head to look at him: "If I write neatly, I will get full marks?"

Li Heng didn't dare to look her in the eye. He slightly turned his gaze away and hummed lightly.

After a while, she asked again: "Do you know what your ranking is in the whole school this time?"

Li Heng lowered his head: "My deskmate went to the Academic Affairs Office and told me, 29th place."

At this point, Wang Runwen looked into his eyes, then looked into the sky and asked, "English 61, did you do it on purpose?"

Li Heng replied: "No."

Wang Runwen frowned: "Do you hate me?"

Without waiting for him to speak, she continued, "If you don't like the teacher's teaching method, I can apply to the school to change classes and let the English teacher of Class 206 teach you."

In their class, there are four experimental classes, two each in liberal arts and science.

For liberal arts, the scores are 204 and 205.

For science, the scores are 206 and 207.

Li Heng and Zhang Zhiyong are in Class 204.

Xiao Feng is in Class 205.

Yang Yingwen and Xiao Han are both in Class 207.

As for Yang Cheng, when the classes were divided in the second year of high school, his grades did not meet the requirements and he unfortunately went to an ordinary liberal arts class.

Of course, Zhang Zhiyong’s grades are also not up to standard, but he has strong connections.

Hearing this, Li Heng suddenly realized something and raised his head abruptly, and answered in a louder voice: "Teacher, I made a mistake this time, and I will definitely do well next time."

The result was different from what I expected before coming here.

Wang Runwen was stunned for a moment, turned her head and looked at him steadily. She didn't expect that he would change his mind. After a long time, she smiled.

She patted his shoulder with relief and left.

After this conversation, the two men reconciled.

The English teacher did not care about his past tricks, and Li Heng no longer cared about the opinions of outsiders. He walked the straight and upright path.

She even used the method her second sister used to deal with him when they were children. She found an excuse to provoke Liu Yejiang, and then beat up Liu Yejiang, the source of the rumor, in front of the whole class.

In the eyes of Xiao Han and Yang Yingwen, he was a gangster in the first grade of Chuyi. His style of doing things had been determined long ago. He was always ruthless and vicious towards his enemies, even breaking the legs of a stool.

After being beaten, Liu Yejiang went to the hospital and had 11 stitches.

But he was not in any trouble. After the school understood the whole story, the dean just gave him a vague verbal warning.

ps: The structure of March's book is very large. It took me half a year to think about it. The outline and details add up to 7 words.

I want this book to follow a story-based flow, and the appearance of each character is connected to the core of the subsequent story. I hope the big guys can give me more patience, and I also hope that the last urban book can write what I want and satisfy everyone.

Another thing is, the big guys are all complaining about the lack of updates. I feel wronged. There are really more than 4000 words every day.

How about this, I will try to update 5000 words every day in the future, no more than that. We are small Karami without traffic exposure, so we must recommend new books during the period of new books, otherwise they will be a failure. I hope everyone understands the difficulties of small authors like me.

Exploded after being put on the shelves!
