tenth year of teaching

Chapter 151 Surprise
Ma Xiaoming comes from an ordinary family. His parents have been laid off for many years. His father made a simple cart for his mother. Every morning, lunch and dinner, her mother goes out to sell pancakes while pushing the cart to earn money.

My father later hired a worker in the sanitation department and went out to sweep the roads before dawn every day.They live in Dongtian Village on the edge of the city, close to the bus terminal. It is an urban-rural area with a crowded and chaotic environment, but the benefits from the pancake cart are good.

When Li Yueming came for his first home visit in early summer, he stopped going out without a meal for many years and packed up at home to wait for the teacher.

The yard is not small, with five main rooms common in rural areas, plus a reverse seat, showing that the family is well off.Although the couple leaves early and comes home late, they are diligent and tidy and keep their home spotless.The courtyard has a flower wall with a turning head, which is filled with various seasonal fruits and vegetables.There is also a persimmon tree planted in the center. In September, it has already produced some small fruits, which are round and green and hidden among the dense branches and leaves.

Seeing looking at the persimmon tree in early summer, Li Yueming said cheerfully: "Teacher, when it bears fruit in autumn, I will ask Xiaoming to bring you some." She is a straightforward middle-aged woman with a slightly stout body and a smile on her face. Wrinkles and wind and frost from working outside all the year round, but unruly hair and clean and tidy clothes show his hardworking nature.

"No, no, no, when my family lived in the compound before, we also planted a persimmon tree in the yard. I just looked at it and it reminded me of the past." Chu Xia waved her hands repeatedly.

"Then you have to try my persimmons. They are never sprayed and are completely green, but very sweet." Li Yueming said with a smile.

Chu Xia smiled and did not refuse. Most rural people are straightforward, and it is not good to keep refusing.Entering the house, the main house is tall and spacious, and all kinds of home appliances are readily available.

Li Yueming made tea for Chu Xia. Seeing that she had a lot of furnishings for her home, she said casually: "It's new this year. Although his father and I don't have serious jobs, we have saved a lot of money in the past few years. We basically get up in the middle of the night, and his father He helped me prepare all the materials, and then went out to sweep the streets. I came down in time for three meals a day, and when the weather was good and there were many people, I could earn several hundred dollars. "

"A few hundred a day, how about a few thousand a month? You are very powerful, better than us." Chu Xia settled the accounts.

"Oh, that's nothing compared to you eating the national meal." Li Mingyue said with a smile, "Drink water, teacher. It's just a small amount of money, but his father and I both believe that if you work hard, you can have a good life. No, this year's new year A flipped house, once Xiaoming is admitted to college, we will feel secure."

Speaking of Ma Xiaoming, Chu Xia simply got to the point. "I'm here for a home visit today. It's just a new successor. I want to know more about the child's condition."

"Thank you, teacher. My Xiaoming has been sensible since he was a child and rarely gets into trouble. Originally, we had no problem getting into the first middle school. Alas, it's all our fault. When he was in the third year of junior high school, I went out in the morning and caught up with the rain. He slipped and fell. His pelvis was broken and he couldn't move at all while lying on the bed. His grandmother was hospitalized just in time, and he had to rely on this child at home and outside the house. He went to school after cooking every day, and came back at noon to take care of me, and then delivered the food. He went to the hospital, and in the evening he came back from school to cook, wash and clean the house, and also went to the hospital to deliver meals to his grandfather. His father had to go to work, and the family had to rely on him to make money alone, but there was really no way. So, in the end, it was better to The child's study has been delayed. In addition, our rural school does not have as good a foundation as the city school. He is actually only one point away from entering the third middle school. We said that we should spend some money, but the child refused to agree. ." Having said this, Li Yueming wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. "My Xiaoming is very sensible. I just hope that I can get into a good university in the future. Thank you teacher for caring about our Xiaoming. I rely on you in school. If your child disobeys, you can hit or scold him."

"That's not okay. There are requirements now that students cannot be punished corporally." Chu Xia quickly said, "However, I will definitely take good care of Xiaoming."

When she came out of Ma Xiaoming's house, it was almost time to get off work, and she got on her bicycle and walked slowly toward the city.Thinking about it all the way, a student's growth background has a great relationship with the formation of his character.His family background cannot be said to be well-off, but Ma Xiaoming is a cheerful and lively boy at school. He is actively involved in everything in the class and is also very enthusiastic about talking to classmates about their problems.

Ma Xiaoming didn't know that the class teacher had already been to his house. After class, he would usually eat some bread or other things he brought for lunch in the class before studying in the evening. It was not because he had no money, but mainly to save time.After finishing dinner in a few minutes, I immediately reorganized the knowledge taught in the afternoon class, went over my notes again, and then started working on the questions.

In addition to in-class homework, he also insisted on listening to some lectures on learning methods, and there were many online.Last year, after the family paid off the expenses of grandma's hospitalization, they had some money left over. In addition to renovating the house, they also bought him a mobile phone with Internet access.

The father said: "What other people have, our son should also have. We don't follow the trend, but we will definitely give you what your parents can give you. Studying in high school in the city shouldn't be too shabby."

Xiaoming didn't care about this. Anyway, he couldn't hang out with those boys holding iPhones and wearing thousands of sneakers.He just thought that I went to school just to get into college and nothing else mattered.So even though I have a smartphone, I never take it to school to use. I only use it at home to check some information and study methods online.Anyway, no one in the class knows that he has a mobile phone, so there are usually no calls or text messages asking for him.

There are some lectures on learning methods on the Internet, and he will spend half a day at home on weekends to study them.I became obsessed with it after I fell in love with it, such as the Ebbinghaus Curve, a very old learning method, but no teacher will teach it. You can only learn knowledge in class, and you usually have to figure out the method yourself, especially how to learn skillfully.

According to the Ebbinghaus Curve, Xiaoming would stare at the writing on the blackboard left by the teacher every day after class to recall the knowledge taught in class. He would stare at the notes every half day to recall the class content, and then do his homework.This seems to 'waste' a lot of time, but the efficiency is actually higher.Because the knowledge points are consolidated repeatedly, you don’t have to look through your notes repeatedly to check for unclear points when doing questions.

The improvement in question-solving efficiency further promoted the improvement of scores.Xiaoming seems to have found a method that suits him. During the holidays, he makes a study plan at home in advance, and what time will he do exactly?Then execute them one by one, cross out one item after finishing it, and want to go out to play, but looking at the densely packed plan with colored pens crossing out items one by one.My heart will suddenly feel at ease, I will sit at the table every day, and when I am very tired, I will run twice outside.In the lecture, a university professor said that when studying, you should pay attention to brain switching. Switching between arts and science can allow the left and right sides of the brain to adjust and rest.If you feel sleepy, it means your brain is deprived of oxygen. Appropriately increasing some physical exercise can replenish oxygen and improve learning efficiency.

There are many such methods, and Xiaoming tried them again and again by picking the ones he was interested in, constantly adjusting and working hard.Sometimes when learning, you can't just keep your head down and walk hard. You have to look up from time to time to see if you are going in the right direction. Don't waste a long time and end up going in the wrong direction, and it will be all in vain.

Looking at the students around me, many are working hard, but their grades cannot improve.Xiaoming sometimes talks selectively to everyone, but some people only think that he is smart, some people listen to it but do not take action, and some people also listen to it and take action but do not persist in.

No matter what, Xiaoming is still making progress little by little.
