Chapter 43 Who is the Holy Reader? (Updated in advance tonight)
Riding on the morning sunshine and refreshing sea breeze, the boys and girls arrived at Baitan Middle School.
Gently squeeze the handbrake, and the friction between the brake pad and the tire, and the tire and the ground will make a slight and rhythmic sound.
The morning in the small town was as lively as usual. There were two tricycles selling breakfast in front of the school gate. The stall owners opened the steamer and white steam with a strong aroma of steamed buns wafted up. Students holding fifty cents and one yuan in change in their hands gathered on both sides.
"Have you all had breakfast?" Fang Wei asked.
"Well, I've eaten."
"Then go in."
"Zhiyi, get out of the car."
"it is good."
Four people got off the car and pushed their bicycles into the school gate.
If we talk about the one who felt it most clearly, it must be Liu Zhiyi. Unlike today's leisurely state, at this time yesterday, her embarrassment was still vivid in my mind...
Today, she set out with Fang Wei and the other two, arrived at school together, walked into the campus together, and parked her bicycles at the wall together;
Fang Wei and the other two did not let her go to the classroom first because she did not need to park her bicycle, and she did not leave first because she did not need to park her bicycle;
She followed them until they parked and locked the car, and then the four of them went upstairs together.
"Zhiyi, do you think my hat is handsome?"
As she walked, Xu Cailing showed off her white baseball cap. She would wear this baseball cap when she went to school or went out to play, and when she went to the fishery to dry salted fish, she would wear the big straw hat at home.
"handsome."
Liu Zhiyi's answer was still so concise and clear. She looked at the girl of the same age who was a little taller than her, had a darker skin and was full of energy. She had to say that this hat suited her very well. If it weren't for the short ponytail behind her head, she would look like a tomboy. Whenever she came into contact with Cai Ling, there was no sense of distance. She seemed to have a natural charm that made people feel close to her.
"Hey, my sister gave it to me. Let me give it to you to try!"
Xu Cailing pinched the brim of the hat to take it off, then raised her hand and put it on Liu Zhiyi's head.
Liu Zhiyi blushed slightly at her sudden intimate action, and the cold big eyes under the brim of his hat secretly glanced up at her.
"Looks great! Zhiyi! You look so handsome in a baseball cap!!"
"what?"
Liu Zhiyi couldn't see his own appearance, but Fang Wei Cailing and Asheng could see it clearly.
You know what, her naturally cold and somewhat broken temperament, after putting on this baseball cap, seemed to be neutralized by the youthful vitality. Her long ponytail swayed behind her head, and the brim of the hat cast a shadow on her fair face in the sun, making her look cool and sassy, quite fashionable.
"Looks like a killer!" Xu Cailing described.
"Like Gin in women's clothes!" Ah Sheng described.
"Indeed." Fang Wei nodded in agreement.
"..."
It's a killer. A cockroach at home can kill me! !
Do I really look that fierce...
However, Liu Zhiyi did not refute. She seemed to quite like this kind of light-hearted teasing. She didn't know what to say, so she just smiled foolishly.
"What a creepy smile!!"
"It looks like someone is going to kill someone..."
"...??"
I'm not playing along with you guys?!
Having friends and seeming to have become an indispensable member of a small group is a very novel feeling for Liu Zhiyi, who has always been a loner, but he does not reject it and rather likes it very much.
They are not just "passenger friends", but we get along like real friends...
……
It was not until they entered the classroom that the four-member team of Pineapple Island briefly disbanded and each walked to their seats.
Fang Wei walked in front and Liu Zhiyi followed behind him.
When they arrived at their shared seat, Fang Wei stood by the aisle and waited for a while, while Liu Zhiyi stepped in from beside him, pulled out a chair in the corner against the wall and sat down. Then Fang Wei pulled out his own chair and sat down, locking her in the corner.
"call--"
Liu Zhiyi probably didn't make any sound, but in Fang Wei's mind, she must have made a "whoosh" sound of sudden relief.
After sitting down in her corner, Liu Zhiyi's tense nerves relaxed, and her straight back bent slightly. She didn't put her schoolbag into the drawer in a hurry, but just held it in her arms, as if she had finally returned home after a long trip. Her pretty face was full of relaxation and comfort, and she needed to relax lazily before starting the next thing.
Like a traveling frog, walking around outside, seeing the scenery, making friends, and unlocking new maps have already consumed all her energy. Now she urgently needs some time alone to recharge.
Fang Wei secretly glanced under the table. It was the first time he saw the girl so relaxed. Her long legs were stretched out naturally under the table, and her cute little white shoes were shaking gently...
It was probably time for a break, in fact it was only a few seconds before she stretched out her legs and gracefully brought them back to the chair. At the same time, she opened her schoolbag, took out her water bottle, stationery, paper, pen and textbook, turned the page, and continued reading what she had not finished last night.
During this period, Fang Wei did not disturb her.
After all, every cute girl has different habits, so he doesn't want to be a nuisance.
……
The morning class starts at 7:30 and lasts until 8 o'clock, which is the morning reading time.
The bell downstairs rang. Except for being a little quieter than before, the atmosphere in the class remained the same. After all, the class hadn't started yet and the teacher hadn't assigned any tasks. No one knew what to do during the morning reading.
Education in remote island villages depends largely on the students' self-study ability, but such ability is not common for twelve or thirteen-year-old small island students.
Most of the students in the class were talking, but there were still a few students who were reading quietly, such as Fang Wei, Liu Zhiyi, Wang Yushan, Xu Cailing... Who dares to say that comic books are not books? !
Of course, Wen Susu would not leave this situation alone. As she walked into the classroom with the Chinese textbook and began to write the list of required texts in the Chinese textbook on the blackboard, everyone's leisurely morning reading time came to an end.
"What's going on? Where are the reading sounds? Why are they all whispering?"
Wen Susu said to everyone as she wrote, "You can arrange your morning reading time as you like. You can recite Chinese, English, or politics and history, but you can't take the opportunity to talk. Everyone, take out your Chinese textbooks first. The passages I wrote on the blackboard are all for you to recite for the exam! Everyone, take notes!"
Fang Wei raised his head and looked towards the blackboard.
Wen Susu was still wearing a long skirt today. She really liked wearing skirts, and her temperament was quite suitable for wearing skirts. She did not tie her hair into a ponytail today. Instead, she used a shark clip to cleverly tie her smooth hair up and pin it behind her head, revealing her slender neck. There was hair gently falling by her ears, embellishing her soft side face lines, which neither blocked her sight nor added a bit of casual beauty to her.
She was writing on the blackboard with her back to everyone. The sunlight shone on her through the window. Between the light and shadow, she seemed like a person in a painting.
In fact, Wen Susu’s facial features are not particularly beautiful, but it is undeniable that her temperament is absolutely unique on the island.
When she was writing on the blackboard, the class became quiet, with only the tapping sound of her chalk touching the blackboard. The students all looked up at the podium, and it was unclear whether they were looking at her beautiful handwriting on the blackboard, or at this teacher who "seemed very close to them, but was actually as far away as a dream."
After a while, Wen Susu, who had just finished writing on the blackboard, turned around and looked at the quiet crowd below the stage.
"What's the matter? Are you all scared?"
"Teacher Wen, you look so good!"
A brave female classmate shouted in a low voice, and then the atmosphere in the class suddenly became lively.
Wen Susu was both angry and amused. Facing the compliments and compliments that were seriously off-topic from the audience, she was calm and generous without being shy or coy. She just said loudly:
"You will all be handsome men and beautiful women in the future. Your current task is to study hard. I am just an ordinary teacher. When you have the opportunity to go out to big cities and see the world, there will be more people who are better than teachers waiting for you."
"But we think Teacher Wen is already the best!"
"Haha! Which classmate was talking just now? I hope that next time the teacher randomly checks your recitation of the text, you will not say bad things about me!"
The atmosphere in the class became relaxed. Students love young teachers for this very reason: there is not too big a generation gap between them and the teachers won't always have a stern face when criticizing others.
Of course, we still need to be serious when it is time to be serious. Wen Susu earnestly reminded:
"You can't talk during the morning reading class anymore, otherwise I will be angry. Remember the texts that need to be memorized, I will check them! You must memorize them well! Do you understand?"
"understood!"
The sound was very loud. Everyone in the audience took out their Chinese textbooks and marked the passages to be memorized. As the first student began to read aloud, the whole class was soon filled with the sound of reading.
There were many texts to memorize, and Fang Wei also made notes, including "Spring", "Viewing the Sea", "Hearing that Wang Changling was Demoted to Longbiao, I Sent This Letter from a Distance", "Under the Beigu Mountain", "Autumn Thoughts in Tian Jingsha", "Ode to Snow", "Chen Taiqiu and His Friends' Appointment", "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore", etc.
When I was young, I thought that these texts to be memorized were so long that I could never memorize them no matter how hard I tried. Now when I look back on them, I feel that they are actually very short and are the condensed essence.
When I opened the familiar textbooks and saw them, I inexplicably felt like I was meeting old friends whom I had not seen for many years.
During the summer vacation, he also borrowed books from Sister Caiwei and consolidated his knowledge in advance.
Fang Wei flipped through it briefly, then closed the book and began to recite along with the reading voices around him:
[Looking eastwards at Jieshi, I can see the vast ocean.]
[The water is so calm, and the mountains and islands stand tall.]
……
The sound of reading beside her caught Liu Zhiyi's attention, and she turned around to look at Fang Wei curiously.
The boy's voice was still changing, so his voice was a little hoarse, but when he read aloud, his emotions were quite rich... Wait! He wasn't reading aloud!
Liu Zhiyi was suddenly surprised, and her cold eyes widened a little. She clearly saw that the textbook in Fang Wei's hand was closed, and he was staring into the void and reciting!
Is he... such a strong learning rival? !
He just glanced through it twice... and he can recite it by heart?!
This was the first time that Liu Zhiyi suffered a setback and felt pressure in something he was good at!
Dad is right. Never underestimate anyone. Even on a small island like this, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers...
Liu Zhiyi took a deep breath and calmed his scattered mind.
She also picked up the Chinese textbook in her hand, turned to the chapter "Viewing the Ocean", and began to recite it aloud softly.
If he hadn't paid attention, Fang Wei wouldn't have been able to hear her voice clearly. Liu Zhiyi's voice when she recited was as soft as the sound of ants moving house. One needed a hearing amplifier to hear it. If one was not careful, it would be drowned out by the surrounding reading sounds.
The girl's expression was serious and focused, her eyes fixed on the pages of the book, as if she wanted to imprint every word deeply in her mind. Her thin lips were slightly pursed, and she sometimes muttered softly, and sometimes closed her eyes to think.
A few strands of hair fluttered gently in front of her forehead, occasionally playfully covering her eyes, but she just gently brushed them away with her hand and then concentrated all her attention on the book in front of her.
Da Mo: After about two or three minutes, she turned her eyes away from the article in the book and recited softly:
[Looking eastwards at Jieshi, I can see the vast ocean.]
[The water is so calm, and the mountains and islands stand tall.]
……
Fang Wei on the side looked at her in shock.
"..."
"..."
"What, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, have you finished reciting it?"
"Ah."
"..."
(It’s a new week, and I want to strive for the new book list. This week’s data is very important. I will update it in advance today. I will update more than 7,000 words every day in the future! I hope everyone can vote for me and support me by reading more ~ Love you ~)
