Chapter 80 [The Lush Years of a Daoist]
This time, Wang Qinian owed Uncle Wang Liang a great favor, so there was no suspense about Han Tie's affairs. He also made his daughter, who had been changed to "residential surveillance", kneel in front of Uncle Wang Liang, and insisted on kowtowing a hundred times. Uncle Wang Liang had no choice but to suffer three times.
Before leaving, he also invited us to eat eight famous bowls of Cangzhou. The red and white meat were placed on the table. Wang Zhan's mouth was filled with oil. The unhappiness caused by losing the competition was also flying in this cup of chopsticks and gravy, and disappeared without a trace.
After the meal, Uncle Wang Liang drove Wang Zhan and Teacher Jiang to the train station, then took me back to Yimeng Mountain, picked up my grandfather and left.
Originally, I was going to take Wang Zhan to Leizi Village to see him. Uncle Wang Liang and I were planning to stay in Leizi Village for a few more days. First, Uncle Wang Liang wanted to live a pastoral life for a few days, and second, I was looking for opportunities to work as a fourth aunt. The elderly always had the wrong idea of leaving their hometowns and the fourth aunt was no exception.
Unexpectedly, when Wang Zhan went to Cangzhou, he forgot to bring his summer homework book. He has not started writing it yet, so he has to rush back to Chudu as soon as possible.
I was both angry and funny when I heard this: "Didn't you mean it?"
"Where is it? Don't blame me, Lao Zhang, I am also one of the good students now..."
Wang Zhan argued with reason and expressed his dissatisfaction.
Amid the noise, the train left the station, and Uncle Wang Liang and I also started heading towards Leizi Village...
***
September 1, 1993 was the first day of my junior high school life.
There was nothing new on the day of the report. It was nothing more than paying tuition fees, raising flags, opening ceremony, and seating in class.
Because Wang Zhan and I ranked among the top in the academic year, we were assigned to the key junior high school class 1 and 2. Most of the boys in the class were glasses, and the rest were mental workers who didn’t love physical activities. In short, there were more men with IQ and fewer muscles in the class, with a strong learning atmosphere and serious lack of activity.
"Lao Zhang is really worthy of being the focus of the whole province... Looking at these nerds with dull eyes, you will know that the education system of our great motherland should really be reformed..."
Since the implementation of the self-paid university system in 1990s, the topic of education system reform has not stopped in the past two years. Wang Zhan was obviously affected, and he felt very moved as soon as he walked into the classroom. The students looked up at him, and they looked at him with disgust at the reward, but no one said anything.
It may be the reason for the arrival of puberty, but during the summer vacation, Wang Zhan and I were faster than wheat, growing to about 1.73 meters. We started to have a faint beard on our mouths, and our Adam's apple became thicker. Just a few days ago, this guy and I entered the voice change period at the same time, and the voice of our speech began to smell like a man.
However, my temperament tends to be calm and even has a somewhat weak appearance. Moreover, at the reminder of Uncle Wang Liang, I even got a flat mirror belt, which according to him, is a must-have item to hide in it.
Who would have thought that a weak boy wearing glasses would be a cultivator who killed snake demons and killed zombies?
Although I feel that doing this has a faint smell of pretending, I still do it. I believe that listening to Uncle Wang Liang's words, following the party, being a cultured, moral, civilized, and polite four-way practitioner will never deviate from the right direction.
Wang Zhan became a perfect muscular man. The reason why he was perfect was that from the moment he entered the campus, female classmates kept staring at him, including seniors from the top.
"Look at Lao Zhang... or is it that a muscular man like me is more popular with the opposite sex?" Wang Zhan was so proud.
I didn't answer him, but I just heard the female classmate's whisper:
"That man is so scary, like a frog..."
"This is obviously ridiculous, what's scary..."
"Well, stay away from him, probably a little gangster..."
"Student Wang Zhan, think about it..." I smiled and comforted someone's injured heart: "It's them who don't know, it's not your fault..."
that's all.
Youth came quietly... I didn't even say hello to us...

"Zhang Dong, Wang Zhan...I didn't expect you to have a summer vacation and you all grew taller..."
Wang Zhan and I were about to sit down according to the seats arranged by the squad leader, when Teacher Fan appeared in front of us with a smile.
Judging from her outfit, her graceful look in high heels, her complexion is much better than before.
"Teacher Fan, you are more beautiful too..."
Wang Zhan became increasingly dishonest and actually joked with Teacher Fan: "Huh? Teacher Fan, why are you here?"
I asked Li Yuejin to help Teacher Fan transfer work, but I didn't tell him, so that this kid wouldn't yell loudly and make it difficult for Teacher Fan to be a human being.
"Haha, I will be your class teacher in the future. Do you welcome me?"
Teacher Fan looked at me meaningfully and said with a smile.
"Of course we welcome!"
"Oh, Teacher Fan is our class teacher, I'll post this time!"
Five or six students in the class were all promoted from elementary school together. When they heard such a happy thing, they suddenly burst into tears and howls.
I don’t know if Teacher Fan deliberately wanted to give us a surprise or other reasons, but she didn’t show up at the opening ceremony, or if the math teacher helped maintain order, I thought she was assigned to another class at that time.
"Zhang Dong, Wang Zhan, after school, go to the teacher's house for dinner, and you're all ready..."
Teacher Fan walked to us and whispered: "Zhang Dong, you little guy, this time I almost caught the teacher off guard. You..."
What's wrong? Could it be that Li Yuejin's arrangements were not meticulous enough, or was there any other problem?
I was muttering in my heart and nodded with a smile.

What Teacher Fan prepared for us was a table of simple home-cooked dishes, which were light but very sensible.
Wang Zhan and I were holding a glass of orange juice and drank with Uncle Huang. However, this big reporter who loves to cause trouble was drinking white wine. After a few drinks, the topic began to go off the wrong way...
"Uh, Fan Li, who do you think it is? The job that the Municipal Education Director personally transferred for you is your relative, why don't I know?"
Uncle Huang stood up and said in a diagonal manner, "I said you are so stupid. Since you have told you to be the director of the teaching, why don't you do it? You have to lead the class because you are afraid that you will be tired?"
I looked at Uncle Huang for a moment of speechlessness. Although it was a rare true nature, I didn’t have to say good things to bad things, right?
"I didn't want to be said to be based on relationships. If the Education Bureau hadn't said it was... Zhang Dong helped me, I wouldn't have agreed to go..."
Teacher Fan said: "And I originally agreed to be a class leader. I like to be with the children. What kind of teaching director is like a politician..."
"You don't like it? You don't like the RMB either? How great is it to be a dean, the salary is high!"
I shook my head secretly when I heard this. It turned out that Li Yuejin had done a bad thing with kindness. I don’t know how he explained it. The school actually wanted Teacher Fan to be the director of the teaching, and had to deceive her and coax her.
This is no wonder Teacher Fan was absent during the opening ceremony. She probably received a notice of changing her job and went to the principal to argue with her.
This is a good teacher. He always thinks about students, but he doesn't even care about the directors that many teachers dream of being.
At this moment, I respected Teacher Fan. Although she was not a practitioner, her every word and action had already been in line with the principles of cultivating nature and virtue. The most rare thing is to be natural and not artificial.
"Old Zhang, is it your job that you helped Teacher Fan transfer?"
Wang Zhan asked me in a low voice, looking puzzled. He knew the situation of my family very well and didn't believe that I could accomplish such a big thing.
"Actually, it's a coincidence. Let me tell you if I have time..." I replied in a low voice.
"Student Zhang Dong, hehe... I wonder if your family is in the Cultural Bureau. Can you help me transfer it?" Uncle Huang said with a smile. In 1993, the newspaper in Chu City was still under the jurisdiction of the Cultural Bureau and was not included in the Press and Publication Bureau.
"Huang Lei, what are you talking nonsense!"
Teacher Fan's face turned red: "Zhang Dong, don't pay attention to your Uncle Huang, the teacher's affairs are already troubled enough. The teacher asked you to have dinner today, but in fact he just wanted to know which relationship you were looking for? You are still young, but you are not allowed to go through a wrong path..."
Hearing her question, Wang Zhan and Uncle Huang immediately raised their ears...
ps: This chapter is a transitional chapter, so it is lighter, haha.
Chapter completed!
