The teachers in Class 10, Senior Three, gradually felt the changes in this class. The atmosphere of this class, which was once known for its nonsense and three competitions, was quietly changing. Under the double pressure of SARS and the college entrance examination, they worked hard in silence.
Like a leopard staring at its prey, ready to go, its paws rubbing against the ground looking for a point of strength, they are silent and focused, their eyes are firm and persistent, full of hunger and thirst.
The teachers began to be happy to talk about Class 10 in the office, instead of complaining excitedly to the head teacher, Lao Zhou, only when they couldn't bear it as before.
The "Threesomes who forced themselves to the top" have been frequently mentioned in office discussions recently, just like the story of a prodigal son being talked about, because of Xu Tingsheng's big words that he once let go, he will inevitably be mentioned several times.
"There is an indescribable feeling." This is the feeling of the teachers.
Xu Tingsheng doesn't listen to any class, but you can't say that he is not serious. He is reading books, doing problems, and proceeding according to his own rhythm and method. If it is not because it is the final stage of the third year of high school, the teachers will never Tolerate this situation, but now, what are you capable of? Let's all shine out.
Of course, when the teacher is too angry, he will occasionally make a surprise attack and ask him to answer a few questions.
He would stand up very politely, smile shyly, and say, "Teacher, could you please repeat that?"
Reaching out without hitting the smiling person, the teacher repeated it helplessly.
If it is mathematics, he will say: "Sorry, I can't do this one."
If it is another subject, he will smile and nod, and then finish the question from beginning to end, side by side, and then the teachers who are going to supplement the analysis will find that they seem to have nothing to say.
This is a "very teacher" way of statement, a professional habit that Xu Tingsheng accidentally left behind.
"He may really make a lot of progress." The teachers said, "It's a pity that he wakes up a little too late."
As for the joke of the top 20, most of the teachers chose to avoid it, because there is no need to force others to make things difficult.
…
On April 10, 2003, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine organized experts to formulate the "Technical Plan for the Prevention and Treatment of SARS with Traditional Chinese Medicine (Trial)" and issued it, giving a preventive prescription formulated with Radix isatidis.
The "magic medicine" isatidis has entered the ultimate state of madness. All pharmacies in Libei County sold out the isatidis within 3 hours. As early as half a month ago, the original price of 6 yuan a pack (20 small bags) was already gradually rising. , On this day, the highest price of Banlangen climbed to 60 yuan a pack, and then quickly sold out, and the "profiteers" who made a lot of money were still beating their chests and screaming that they sold it early and sold it cheap.
On the same day, the price of white vinegar rose from 1 yuan per bottle to 50 yuan per bottle, and it is still rising. Masks, vitamins, all went into a frenzy.
On that day, the whole Libei County and Libei Middle School smelled of vinegar.
That day, Huang Yaming, Fu Cheng, and Xu Tingsheng were all praised by their family members. Soon, relatives and friends of the three families joined in the praise.
That day, the three carried a large box of Banlangen and white vinegar into the classroom of Class 10 of the third grade and became "God". Soon, they became "the good boy the teachers knew" and "the cutest student" in the teacher's office.
In the afternoon of the same day, after the entire Libei County was out of stock, a small pharmacy that had not yet been renovated began to sell a small amount of Banlangen and white vinegar.
After repaying Fu Cheng's advance payment, Xu, Huang, and Fu each received more than 3,000 yuan.
At the same time, Xiang Ning, a student from Class 4, Grade 1, Xinyan Middle School, in Yanzhou City, Jianhai Province, where SARS cases have already appeared, received a large package with no sender, and only a note in it: Just enough, don’t drink too much. Too much, if it's hot, drink it slowly, don't look like you're dying of thirst. Also, don't go out and run around.
Teacher Liu Xueli, the teacher in charge of the class, emphasized the precautions for SARS on the podium, read out the "Technical Plan for the Prevention and Treatment of SARS with Traditional Chinese Medicine", and asked each student to inform their parents that no matter how difficult it is to buy or how expensive it is, they must send a pack of Banlangen to the school for their children. At the same time, the parents of the students in each dormitory communicated and negotiated, and they had to find a way to get a bottle of white vinegar.
Xiang Ning raised her hand and said, "Teacher, I have many."
Teacher Liu opened the box, dazed, hesitantly said: "Tell your parents to come and take some home, if possible, sell some to teachers and classmates."
Teacher Liu actually wanted to say, let the children send a few packets to the teacher. My husband queued up all morning and only bought one pack. There are eight people in her family, how can it be enough? It's just that the teacher's dignity made her embarrassed to speak up, she thought, Xiang Ning, a child, doesn't understand, and when the parents come to give a hint, she should understand.
When Mr. Liu returned to the office after class, he found that he also had a package containing more than a dozen packs of Banlangen and two bottles of white vinegar.
On the same day, Class 10, Senior Three, Libei Middle School.
Tan Qingling made an exception and kissed Huang Yaming, because Huang Yaming had prepared everything for her, father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Fu Cheng stood on the podium and said, the class is enough, whoever wants to take it home, give me a kiss... The male classmate rushed forward.
Yao Jing found 5 packs of Banlangen under the table, two bottles of white vinegar, a stack of masks, and a note: In fact, there should be nothing wrong with us here, but psychological comfort is also very important, don’t drink too much, you can’t run out bring home.
Yao Jing felt that she should say thank you, although the relationship between the two seemed unnecessary.
"But he usually doesn't talk to me, so I don't want to talk to him all the time. It's good to talk to him while saying thank you." Yao Jing was taken aback by her little thought. When did I become such a little woman? But she had to admit that she actually regretted it a bit. At that time, she said "I agreed", so why did she add "We will be together after graduation".
Yao Jing turned to look for Xu Tingsheng, and found that he was not in the classroom. She ran to the corridor to see that Xu Tingsheng was at the corner of the second floor opposite, handing a bag of banlangen, white vinegar and a mask to a beautiful sophomore girl.
Today at Libei Middle School, the smell of vinegar is very strong.
Wu Yuewei was a little disappointed that she didn't buy isatid root and white vinegar. She originally wanted to buy some for Xu Tingsheng.
"It should be fine if you stay at school." Wu Yuewei comforted herself.
A classmate at the door of the classroom said, "Wu Yuewei, someone is looking for you."
Then she walked out of the classroom and saw Xu Tingsheng.
Every Monday, she would eat lunch early and wait for Xu Tingsheng by the side of the road. Xu Tingsheng would chat with her every time and encourage her to study hard, but he never took the initiative to find her.
Today he took the initiative to come to find her, Wu Yuewei was very happy.
Xu Tingsheng handed the bag in his hand to Wu Yuewei, and said with a smile: "Actually, there should be nothing wrong with us here, but psychological comfort is also very important. You can study at ease, don't worry too much. Also, the medicine is 30% poisonous, so don't drink it." If you have too much, you can share with your classmates if you can’t finish it... Also, I didn’t send it to you specially, I gave it to many teachers and classmates.”
When he said the last sentence, he was a little embarrassed and flustered.
Wu Yuewei liked his expression and reaction very much, she felt that she understood the love hidden behind Xu Tingsheng's deliberately concealed.
"Yeah." Wu Yuewei said, "Hey, I know."
Xu Tingsheng said, "Know? Know what?"
Wu Yuewei smiled slyly and said: "I know you didn't come to the second floor to give me this specially, I know you don't like me anymore."
Xu Tingsheng said, "Oh."
Wu Yuewei said: "But I like you."
Yao Jing came over and said in an unexpected tone, "Xu Tingsheng, why are you here? Class is about to begin."
Xu Tingsheng followed Yao Jing away.
Wu Yuewei stomped her feet, she felt that she was still too useless, how could she let him just leave with someone else.
"Next time, next time I must be stronger." Wu Yuewei thought.
When they were about to walk into the classroom, Yao Jing said to Xu Tingsheng: "I heard that junior girl likes you, do you like her?"
Xu Tingsheng said, "No."
Yao Jing said freely, "Well, I believe in you."
Xu Tingsheng thought to himself: He really looks like a buddy, a big brother.
