tenth year of teaching

Freezing point
From now on, I will act with simplicity and integrity.If you don’t understand, just say you don’t understand; if you don’t know, just admit that you don’t know.If you abandon pretense, the road to life seems to be unexpectedly smooth. ——Dazai Osamu. Justice and Smile

It is a joke to remain upright in your thirties.

Dabei said to Chuxia: "You are really stupid to do this."

"Your mouth stinks!"

"But that's the truth. Don't you think you're stupid?"

Chu Xia tilted her head and thought, "A bit."

"It's not a little bit, it's very childish and stupid!"

"Go away!"

Although he was angry, he had to admit that Dabei was right.After staying on campus for a long time, people will be relatively simple, which in social terms is childish, and if they are stricter, they will be stupid.

"You've been in the greenhouse for too long and you've all become stupid."

"Get out of here!"

"Hehe, son, let's go fishing."

"Yeah, dad is the best!"

After driving away the two father and son, Chu Xia chatted with Dr. Zheng who had been discharged from the hospital.The old lady recovered well, and her aunt took care of her for another week before leaving.The family has returned to normal, but Chu Xia refuses to let her work too hard, and often rushes to do whatever she can.

"Are you really resigning?"

"Yeah, isn't it good to just teach?"

"It's good, but it seems like mom is holding you back and not helping you."

"What are you talking about? Dabei is busy, I can't stay busy, otherwise what will happen at home? Besides, there is Xiao Shitou. He will need help with his homework after he goes to school."

"That's right. The most I can do is help with Chinese and math, but I can't do English."

"Right, take good care of it, old lady, a good health will help me a lot."

As the end of the Gregorian calendar approaches, School Guo wants to organize a party for all teachers and submit programs according to each department.Chu Xia changed his attitude. He was no longer so positive about many things and just followed the principal's wishes.Regarding Li Guangqin's affairs, a clerk was entrusted with the responsibility of notifying him, and there was no longer any direct communication.

Principal Guo saw this and thought it was funny. She was still young after all. When would her stubbornness end?Chu Xia took his time and followed the routine, but rarely showed up outside regular meetings.

"Go to the music room to practice singing at five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon."

Chu Xia looked at the message sent by the office director, but she was still a little irritated.With endless things at hand and previous differences with Principal Guo, she now resents these things outside of work.

Perhaps the biggest difference between those born in the [-]s and those born in the [-]s is that you live your life while working, while I regard work as just work.You want me to be at home at school, but I want to finish work early and return to my home.

The two were so competitive that they refused to rehearse in early summer and asked for leave for various reasons.Principal Guo asked the office director again and again to notify her to rehearse.

At hand were the lyrics of revolutionary songs, which she placed on the table, recalling the words of the old director before he left.

"Qiao Sheng is the most ruthless person with a stern smile. Sooner or later, I will fall into his hands."

Later, the old director was forced to leave, and thanks to his father's connections, he was given a sinecure position in the training center.I've seen him several times in early summer, his face glowing red and his heart full of contentment.

Today's office director can only upload and issue messages, and no one will remind her to pay attention to anything.Chu Xia is not good at sociability and doesn't like anything that involves dealing with people. She can do it if she is forced to do it, but she just has no motivation and can't find a reason, so why do it?
"What happened to Chu Xia recently?"

"do not you know?"

"what do you know?"

"We fought over that good principal Li Guangqin."

"Didn't you notice? Would she be so stubborn?"

"Yeah, it's interesting. The person the principal values ​​most is now fighting in the ring?"

"Hehe, interesting, let's have a look."

There are many people watching the excitement. Ma Li and Guan Min have never been on good terms, but when faced with people who are equally unhappy, they will temporarily join forces to chat and laugh.

Guan Min has been in the same grade as Ma Li for the past few years because each grade is required to have a supervisor.However, Ma Li had been in the grade for many years and had strong opinions on Ma Li, who never cared about grade affairs. They had many verbal conflicts.

The most exaggerated time was when I accompanied the principal out to study. During the meal, the two of them got into an argument over what to eat, which stunned dozens of teachers who were accompanying them.

The principal didn't know why and asked the senior officials of the league, but it was finally passed back to the school as a source of discussion for a long time.Although Guan Min has not cared about the actual situation for a long time, because he has been working as a middle-level manager for the longest time, he has become accustomed to filming everything directly and speaking in an unconsidered tone. He has offended many people over the years.

Ma Li was even more indifferent. She had served as grade director for almost three years and had nearly ten years of experience.Everyone around me has ascended, but I am still wandering around in the same place.So she didn't care. She was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. She had had several quarrels with the previous and current principals. Anyway, no one could stand up to you, so you had to use me, so I could do whatever I wanted to do if I lost my temper. You have to endure it even if you can't bear it.

In fact, Ma Li's execution ability is very strong, but she lacks her own thinking and deep implementation on the front line. In addition, she has been working for too long, and she is so slick that she wants to take care of her own people through splitting classes, so most of the people below are disgusted with her. .

Principal Guo considered the people in his hands and felt very helpless. Those who could do things had a bad temper, but those who actively cooperated were mediocre.He is a proud and proud man who has devoted all his energy and time to school management for many years.In fact, when you stay in a circle, everyone knows who is doing what, but there has never been any scandal or other bad things in School Guo.

Perhaps the biggest regret about School Guo is that in my previous school, I had a misunderstanding with the teacher during the special grade evaluation, and was sued to the Education Committee, leaving a trace of stain.For this reason, he applied for a salary downgrade and apologized to the teacher.

It's not that Chu Xia didn't understand Guo Xiao's painstaking efforts. He reminded himself that if you want to continue to develop, you must have a good relationship with the people around you.At least you have to have someone close to you, otherwise why would they help you?Why do I do things for you?Why should I support you?
Chu Xia thought, I don’t need help, I don’t need others to do things for me, and I don’t need anyone to support me.Because what you do is all school work, why do you have to surround others by yourself? Isn’t it better to just do your job well?
Xu Shengchun has been discharged from the hospital and is a heroic figure. School Guo thought of a way to transfer the director of moral education to work in the labor union and arranged for Xu Shengchun to take over.But after experiencing so many things, he seemed to have lost his focus and no longer stood out.My mood is also much calmer.

"It didn't come when I wanted it, but now that it's here I don't care."

Chu Xia thought, you are right, and the two looked at each other and smiled.As people approach the age of 40, they inevitably lose their initial recklessness, but they also lose their initial competitive spirit.
