Chu Ye always received letters from home before, but she didn't take it to heart. When she left home, she made it clear that she would never return to that home again.
However, as time passed, her words seemed to be automatically diluted by her parents.
How can a family have an overnight feud? No matter what, we are relatives whose blood is thicker than water. How can we really say that we are truly disconnected?
As a result, Chu's father's letters became more frequent, and even gradually, the words in those letters urging his daughter to go home turned into threats.
Siya, my parents haven't seen you for several years. You have to come back and see your parents when you have time.
Xiaoye, you are the flesh that fell off your parents, how could you be so cruel and not come back?
Girl, even if your parents didn't do well before, you can't really be angry with your parents. How can any child hate his parents?
Chu Ye, if you don’t go home, don’t recognize your parents! We just pretend we never gave birth to an unfilial daughter like you!
Rebellious girl! Now that you have the ability and your wings are stiff, you are beginning to dislike your family, right? I wish I didn’t have a daughter like you!
Don't think that being a teacher now means you are superior to others. If you don't come back to see your parents, you won't be afraid of others poking your back!
Word by word, Chu Ye's heart had long been numb. It was also on this day that she received another letter from home. She wanted to just pile it up there, but unexpectedly this time the handwriting on the envelope was different.
This time, it was written by Chu Guangyao.
Chu Ye hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the envelope and scanned it ten lines at a time. Then, her heart sank again, and a trace of ridicule flashed through her eyes.
I originally thought that the words in the letter I received from my parents were hurtful enough, but I didn't expect that they could go too far.
Endless bitterness spread from the bottom of her heart and choked to the tip of her tongue. She read the letter in her hand carefully. Then, she dug out all the letters she had received from home and read them one after another.
After a long time, she put down the paper in her hand. There was already a thick stack on the table in front of her. Chu Ye raised her hand to touch her heart. Here, her feelings for her parents had been exhausted. She thought of what Chu Guangyao had written in the letter. Content, I gradually got an idea in my mind.
Within a few days, the final exam results of last semester were announced. Since this was a competition for all primary schools in the county, the school took it very seriously.
Yesterday, several leaders of the school took the bus to the county for a meeting early, and when they came back in the evening, they all had happy faces. The principal still had a brown paper bag in his hand, and he didn’t know what was in it. Even though the teachers stretched their necks to inquire, I didn't find out why.
However, the good news did not keep everyone waiting for too long. Just after breakfast today, the school announced the news that teachers and students should gather at the flag-raising platform.
The head teachers of each class arranged for the students in their classes to line up neatly in front of the flag-raising platform. The leaders also stood under the flag early, while the teachers stood behind the class to maintain order.
At this time, if anyone passes by the school gate, they can see such a solemn scene: bright red flags fluttering in the blue sky, and the formerly empty playground in front of the building is full of students. They stand upright, like bunches of Flowers that bloom towards the sun are proud and sunny, full of vitality.
Seeing the students and teachers gathered together, the leader on the stage began to give a speech. The usual practice was to first talk about the overall situation of the previous semester, and then roughly talk about the overall plan for the next semester.
It was also mixed with various school affairs. After one leader finished speaking, another leader took over. A full ten minutes passed, and the audience also burst into continuous applause.
Finally, after the big leaders finished talking, it was the turn of the dean. He summarized the learning situation of the previous semester. This was another cliche. After finishing the previous list, he finally said today's key projects. , that is, the exam score ranking at the end of last semester.
"Our school as a whole is getting better year by year. In this county-wide competition, the average scores of all grades in our school are among the top." The director said very proudly
However, this kind of thing is not unusual. The overall situation of students in their school is relatively good, and the teachers are also very responsible, so their school's reputation has always been very good, and the overall performance of students is also ahead of other schools.
Students and teachers are not interested. They hear this kind of talk every semester and they are used to it.
The director cleared his throat at this time, glanced down, and caught Chu Ye's figure behind the third-grade student team. He continued, "But in this competition, our school has one achievement that is far ahead of other schools. , even in primary schools in the city, the results are not inferior to others.”
Huh? This sentence is different from the usual saying. The curiosity of teachers and students was aroused, and some students began to whisper, wondering which achievement was so impressive?
Chu Ye stood with other third-grade teachers. The old teachers also looked at each other and didn't see any difference.
Qiao Mingzhu sneaked over. She and Chu Ye were shoulder to shoulder. She quietly put her head close to Chu Ye's ear and lowered her voice, "Hey, Ye Zi, which achievement do you think the director is praising?"
Chu Ye turned his head and saw the excitement in Mingzhu's eyes, and said uncertainly, "Is it art?"
"Bah! Where did I get such a big face?" Mingzhu's voice was a bit loud, causing the teachers on the side to look sideways. Mingzhu quickly smiled and looked back, pretending that nothing happened.
Chu Ye suppressed a smile. Seeing her look like this, Mingzhu came close to her again, stretched out her hand and pinched her waist gently, "Don't make fun of me, I'm telling you, I can usually guess things accurately."
"Okay, okay, but I'm not joking. I really think you taught me well." Chu Ye chuckled and followed Mingzhu's words.
"Huh, of course I teach well, it doesn't matter who it is." Mingzhu first accepted Chu Ye's words, then frowned, "Don't change the topic, I think what the director said was most likely you."
Chu Ye curled his lips when he heard this, thankful that Mingzhu was just whispering to her, and the teachers around him didn't hear it.
Otherwise, these words are quite embarrassing. If other teachers knew about it, they might laugh at them.
Mingzhu wanted to say something else. Seeing that the atmosphere had settled, the director on the stage cleared his throat and said, "Quiet down, everyone. Although our school's overall performance is good, it is still very rare for a single subject to have outstanding results like this. Yesterday, Because of this incident, the leaders of the county praised our school highly in front of all the schools, and also said that they would organize other teachers to come to our school to observe our school this semester.”
The director now piqued everyone's curiosity. The other leaders also looked happy and looked in a good mood. "Okay, I won't give in. The English scores of Class 1 and Class 2 of the third grade in our school ranked first and second respectively in the county's English subject!"
"Wow -" After the silence, a sea of applause vibrated, especially the students from Class 1 and Class 2 of the third grade. They danced excitedly on the spot, with smiles on their faces that were warmer than the sun.
The leaders were also beaming, and the teachers standing in the back row all looked towards Chu Ye while applauding.
Chu Ye is the head teacher of Class 1, Grade 3, and the English teacher of Class 1 and Class 2, Grade 3.
You can't find him at such a young age, but his strength cannot be underestimated.
Mingzhu's face had a look that was indeed true. She lightly touched the person beside her with her shoulder and raised her eyebrows. Although she didn't say anything, her meaning was clear.
See what I said is right.
The applause lasted for a long time, and the director had to comfort him manually. When it became quiet again, the director continued, "This time, the English scores of the third graders are the best in the county. Not only that, there are several high school students in each grade this time." Our school was praised by the leaders of the county for the students who scored good scores. At the same time, the county also specially awarded certificates to these students who performed well. ”
The director said, taking out the brown paper bag and taking out a small stack.
Then, the director read out the names on the certificates one by one. From the first grade to the fifth grade, the students whose names were read out walked out of the class with joy on their faces. Soon, a whole row of students stood under the flag-raising platform. student.
After they received the certificates, they returned to the team with the applause of the audience. Then the director took out a few thin certificates from the cowhide bag and continued, "Next, please invite the teachers whose names you heard to come to the stage to receive the awards. ”
"Meng Xiangru, Feng Fuchun, He Feng, Chu Ye."
This time, there were only four people. Except for Chu Ye, the remaining three were all respected old teachers. Chu Ye was particularly eye-catching among them.
When the director presented the certificate to Chu Ye, he patted her on the shoulder, his eyes full of expectations for the younger generation.
After the four people came off the stage with their certificates, the director said a few more words, hoping that all teachers and students would continue their efforts in the new semester, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and create new brilliance.
Afterwards, the logistics director also gave a few words, and today's meeting was almost over. At the end, the director directed the head teachers of each class to lead the students to evacuate back to the classroom one by one.
The students listened to the teacher's arrangements. The first-grade and fifth-grade students had already returned to the teaching building from one left and one from the right.
At this moment, through the fence at the campus gate, a sharp rebuke penetrated the sky.
"Chu Ye! Come here!"
Although some students inevitably took the opportunity to talk when they retreated, overall it was quiet and orderly.
This sudden sound was so weird that people's eyes turned away unconsciously. After all, Teacher Chu was a famous person who just came on stage to receive an award, and this inexplicable roar seemed to be a precursor to trouble.
Then everyone saw a pair of older middle-aged people and a young man standing at the door of the school.
Their doorman was staring at the three of them defensively.
Chu Ye was originally standing behind the class team, very close to the door. She did not move after hearing the sound. The other teachers' eyes stayed outside the school for a few seconds, and then all turned to Chu Ye.
Mingzhu frowned and stood beside Chu Ye. Seeing her calm expression, she asked carefully, "Who is this?"
Chu Ye's heart, which had been falling since receiving Chu Guangyao's letter, finally fell to the ground at this moment.
What is supposed to come will come. Instead of being on fearful guard all the time, it is better to end it directly.
The director handed over the task of evacuating the students to another leader and planned to come over to see the situation.
Father Chu over there was already furious. He couldn't tolerate that he had already called Chu Ye's name, but she didn't come over immediately.
In front of everyone, she didn't even take her biological father seriously!
"Rebellious girl! How many more times do you want me to call you!" Chu's father roared again. The sound was so loud that the students who had not yet finished retreating could hear it clearly.
"Hey, how can you talk like this! What did she do wrong to make you call her a rebellious girl! I think you are the rebellious father!" Mingzhu rolled up her sleeves and scolded her through the fence regardless.
She didn't care whose father this man was, not even Chu Ye's father.
Chu Ye is her roommate, and that's what she protects. She can't be bullied at will. Besides, no father can talk to his daughter like this.
