It's the students' fault if they are too popular.

Auntie was playing a short video outside, and when she heard her being called, she nodded quickly:

"No, no, definitely not."

"Yeah." Tong Yao turned to Xia Zhi and nodded slightly, "I'm leaving."

"Ah? Oh... Goodbye, Teacher Tong." Xia Zhi was panic-stricken. After the man walked away, he remembered that he did not say thank you.

But she didn't even have time to regret, as she had to pay the next person immediately.

At the supermarket entrance, Tong Yao, carrying a bag, glanced back at the busy figures in the store, and left in silence.

home.

Dongyang ran to the door to greet her, calling her "Auntie" in a soft voice. Tongyao felt her heart melt, and her pent-up emotions were swept away. She stuffed the snacks into her hands and said:

"Eat less. You have to eat at night."

For Dongyang, she learned to cook because the food at school was not as good as at home, and she no longer only knew how to cook noodles like before.

There were two of them, one big and one small, and they didn't eat much. Dongyang had cooked the rice in advance, so she only had to stir-fry three small dishes to get enough for them.

"My aunt's cooking is getting better and better."

"Really?" She smiled. "Then take a picture and send it to Ruan Xi?"

"Uh-huh!"

After dinner, Tong Yao put the bowl aside and washed it in the evening. Children cannot stay at home all the time, so she took Dong Yang out for a walk, especially to familiarize herself with the school environment, so that she could find her if she had any problems in the future.

Passing by a fruit shop, the shop also sells drinks. Tong Yao asked the child what he wanted to drink, and Dong Yang answered immediately:

"Iced bean paste."

Tong Yao wanted to say, "Why do you have the same taste as Ruan Qian?", but she felt that this sentence was too wifey-like, so she forced herself to hold it back.

She bought herself a glass of watermelon juice and picked out a bag of apples.

Along the way, she introduced various buildings to Dongyang. In fact, she herself was not familiar with the road. She arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria in a daze, but saw -

Xia Zhi.

The thin girl was holding a red instant noodle bucket and drinking from it in big gulps. She then poured the remaining soup into the pool outside. Finally, she threw the bowl into a fly-filled trash can.

"Xia Zhi."

she shouted.

The girl turned her head blankly, and was shocked when she saw her - Xia Zhi was promoted from the junior high school. Her class teacher in junior high school had a rule that she was not allowed to eat instant noodles because it was harmful to her health. To this day, she still subconsciously feels that she is doing something bad when she eats instant noodles.

"You're just eating instant noodles?" Tong Yao looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock. "Eating so late?"

For students with regular schedules, it is normal to eat at 5:30.

Xia Zhi lowered her head without explaining. When she glanced at Dong Yang who was holding Tong Yao's hand, she was slightly stunned.

"Hello, sister!" Dong Yang greeted energetically.

"You... hello."

"Eat more nutritious food." Tong Yao interjected, but then felt that this was useless, just like saying "Why not eat meat?", and took out an apple instead, "Eat some fruit."

The apple was bright and healthy in color. She put it in Xia Zhi's hand, ignoring the girl's faint refusal, then waved and left with Dong Yang.

In fact, as the class teacher, she can help Xia Zhi in more ways.

But somehow, she hesitated a little and only gave one apple.

This time, I'd better keep some distance from the students.

School officially started on the second night after reporting.

She had evening self-study at 7 o'clock. Before 7 o'clock, she stayed in the office, nervous, and read the list of students over and over again.

The school bell rang.

She exhaled, stood up, and walked step by step to the classroom door.

very noisy.

She thought that since everyone didn't know each other, everyone would be shy and timid in the first evening study session.

The result is that everyone is familiar with each other.

She walked in and knocked gently on the already open door to indicate her presence.

The noisy classroom immediately became quiet.

On the first day, it was relatively easy to manage.

"Although we have met when we reported, and I introduced myself in the group, I still feel it is necessary to get to know each other again here. My name is Tong Yao, and I will be responsible for teaching you mathematics..."

"Now, if you have any questions, you can raise your hand and ask me."

She raised her hand to welcome questions.

"Teacher, do you have a boyfriend?" a girl asked with a smile.

“Do not answer questions that are not related to study and class.”

"Teacher," a frivolous boy leaned back his chair, his clothes were baggy, his body seemed boneless, he grinned and raised his hand, "How old are you?"

There was faint laughter in the class.

Tong Yao just stared at him calmly.

Those glass-like eyes seemed to tell them that she understood their boring words and harassment, but she was too disdainful to respond.

The classroom gradually became quiet again, and the boy became the embarrassed person.

She said slowly:

"Twenty years old. Before you, I taught two classes for two years, and they were both excellent."

Her resume was shown to those parents to avoid anyone questioning her teaching ability.

"Now it's your turn to introduce yourselves, starting from the first row." She smiled and tilted her head towards the students in the first row and first column.

The public execution has begun.

She gave him three minutes to prepare, but the first boy was still caught off guard and stuttered the whole time.

Many people don’t like to introduce themselves, but a short public introduction can indeed help teachers see a student’s character.

"Hello everyone... My name is Xia Zhi." The girl's voice was nervous, "I like reading..."

After just a few words, he couldn't continue. He hurriedly said, "I hope I can get along well with everyone" and sat down.

You think your self-introduction can make a splash and grab other people's admiration and attention.

In fact, your self-introduction is so awkward and awkward that it feels like dancing in a straitjacket.

Tong Yao stood at the podium, keeping every student's performance in mind.

"My name is Li Minghe." It was the turn of the boy who asked the question before. He stood up and spoke in Changsha dialect, "I..."

"Speak Mandarin." Tong Yao interrupted him.

People around started laughing again.

The boy raised his head, shrugged helplessly, and switched to Mandarin.

Everyone had finished introducing themselves. She looked at the time and raised her head.

"Now, please welcome our instructor."

The military training instructors of each class have been waiting at the door for a long time.

These children probably didn't know how hard the military training was, so they all applauded enthusiastically.

At the door, a tall and thin sergeant came in. He looked good, and was wearing a handsome and handsome military uniform, which made many girls cheer.

As a result, the instructor shouted with a cold face:

"Quiet!"

Everyone, including Tong Yao, was stunned.

She thought it would be a friendly exchange.

"My last name is Wang, you can call me Instructor Wang. I only have one request! A soldier's first duty is to obey! Do you hear me?"

There was silence in the classroom.

"Did you hear me?!"

A sparse "I heard it".

"Not neat enough. I'll ask again, do you hear me?"

This time, many students were already unhappy, but they had to say together:

"I hear you!"

The instructor was satisfied and walked out slowly.

Looking at a group of students in the classroom who were whispering and cursing "stupid instructor", Tong Yao sighed deeply.

Chapter 149: Oasis

On the first day of formal military training, the students hurriedly gathered on the playground wearing the low-quality military uniforms distributed last night.

The time is five o'clock in the morning.

As a class teacher, Tong Yao had to get up early with her students. She got up at around 4:00, prepared breakfast for Dong Yang, and then went out quietly. It was still dark, and she felt sleepy even when walking under the blue-black sky.

"Class nine, assemble!"

Instructor Wang roared in a corner of the playground.

Then he asked the students who arrived earliest to hold up the class flag as a landmark.

Tong Yao took a look and saw that the symbol was Xia Zhi. Her thin body looked even smaller under the huge flag.

We didn't elect class leaders last night, because it's better to choose after we get to know each other through military training. Even so, the class quickly formed various circles. People like to stick together, as if they will be eliminated and excluded if they don't stick together. Each one is more active than the other.

The most popular boy in the boys' circle is the one named Li Minghe.

Looking at Li Minghe who was the center of attention, Tong Yao couldn't help but frown.

She didn't want the core of the class to be such a gangster-like student, as that would lead the entire class astray.

The queen bee among the girls is called Song Zhifei, who is very close to Li Minghe. Her hair is yellowish and slightly curly. Her high school entrance exam score is so low in this poor school that it seems like she is telling others that "I paid to get in". On the day of registration, Tong Yao asked her to fix her hair, but she said it was natural. When I called her parents, they also said it was hers.

For the moment, she could only choose to believe.

"Why are you taking so long to assemble?" the instructor yelled, "You should have assembled in one minute, and you took five minutes longer. You will have to stand for fifteen minutes longer!"

The students began to talk in low voices with bitter faces.

"Who—is—talking!" The instructor's voice was heard one after another.

His eyes slowly swept over, his expression was ferocious, and his fierce momentum instantly shocked the students. The students realized that this man really knew how to hit people.

Tong Yao stood quietly by and watched the students sorted by height.

As a result, she became the only scenery that the students who were standing at attention could see.

In the early morning, the school leaders gave a speech on military training. The sun gradually rose higher, and after breakfast, the formal training really began.

Standing at attention, resting, repeating over and over again. Resting for five minutes, standing at attention for half an hour, those who originally thought standing at attention was not tiring, slowly began to be unable to hold on. Nearing noon, the sun was blazing, and only those who had experienced military training could understand how hot the sun was. At 38 degrees outside, the heat wave was overwhelming, as if putting people in an oven, and even the wind could not bring a trace of coolness.

Xia Zhi was neither tall nor short, and he stood in the middle, sweating profusely.

Her legs had already gone limp.

Whenever Instructor Wang looked away, she would take the opportunity to bend her knees to relieve her fatigue. When Instructor Wang looked over, she would quickly straighten them again.

She thought the instructor was scary.

Under the scorching sun, Instructor Wang walked into the team, patted the spines of students who didn't stand straight, and pulled back the shoulders of students who didn't straighten their chests and stomachs. She pursed her lower lip, not wanting to be touched by others, so she tried to stand straight, but the price was that she was more tired than before.

"Who asked you to move?"
