Chapter 38 Section 4

The teaching practice was carried out in an orderly manner. Shao Yimin had no resistance to the strict system and long time schedule. Her lesson preparation and trial lectures were all approved by Mr. Li, who is known for her strictness.But when she entered the internship stage of the class teacher, she found that she didn't like this part very much. Apart from having to hang out with the students all day long, she also had to care about their psychological problems.She has never been able to pretend to be a close brother and sister to mingle with classmates like other classmates. Asking her to take the initiative to talk to those semi-college students would kill her.

This made her doubt her career position for the first time. Can she be a qualified teacher in the future? Every practice school will arrange open classes for students. Yi Min's open class performance is very successful and has been well received by the teachers, but the themed classes she attends are not as good as Jiang Xiaolin's.Her arrangement is her usual style, the procedure is clear and organized, but there is no sensational part.In this session, Jiang Xiaolin successfully mobilized the enthusiasm of all the students in the class to participate, which was greatly appreciated by Teacher Li.

At the conclusion of the internship, Teacher Li pointed out objectively: Shao Yimin can be a very competent teacher, but he needs to pay attention to adjusting his sense of distance; Jiang Xiaolin's teaching skills need to be strengthened, but he has a high sense of responsibility and enthusiasm for work, and is suitable for Class teacher work. It should be said that this evaluation came very fair.Everyone returned to the school with their internship comments. The school conducted a selection and held a summary and commendation meeting. Both Shao Yimin and Jiang Xiaolin were on the list of outstanding interns, and the teaching internship was successfully concluded.

Shao Yimin talked with his grandparents on the phone and explained that he planned to postpone his application for studying abroad for one year.They were a little surprised. Grandma asked, "What are you doing there alone?" Before she could answer, Grandpa immediately grabbed the phone and asked if it was because of money: "You apply for a good school first, and we will send you a remittance." Come over with the money, your uncle said he will support you." She didn't want to lie, but she couldn't tell the real reason, so she had to say with guilt that she hoped to be better prepared and apply for a better school.Fortunately, the hearts of the two old people are now occupied by their uncle and aunt's little boy who was born more than a month ago, and they know that she has always been a bit of a perfectionist character, so they can accept this statement.

Grandpa excitedly told her that the Chinese name for her little cousin was Shao Yiming, which means "a blockbuster".She laughed when she heard it: "This will call me a mess, grandpa." Grandpa proudly said: "No, no, in fact, this name was prepared for you before you were born. When you were born, you cried very loudly, but it is not suitable for a girl to be called this. Now I finally use it." up." She couldn't help laughing: "Grandpa, it turns out that you have always favored boys over girls, and today you have exposed it." Grandma scolded at the side: "Xiao Min, don't listen to his nonsense, you are the one we love and miss the most."

Grandpa repeatedly echoed.After putting down the phone, she just felt happy, and she was relieved that her grandparents lived so comfortably. But the news that followed made Shao Yimin unable to relax.Su Zhe called her before her holiday and told her in a bad mood that his mother was not feeling well and had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Fortunately, it was an early stage. He decided to accompany his mother to the United States for diagnosis and surgery during this time.Her heart sank when she heard that, she didn't know what to say, she could only let him relax and take good care of his mother.

Putting down the phone, she just felt that she was really not good at comforting people, and at the same time, she also felt that the words of comfort were poor, so she could only silently think about it and feel uneasy. Shao Yimin decided not to go home for the New Year during the winter vacation. When she called to tell her parents, they were very upset. Her stepfather and stepmother even called to persuade her to go home.But she wasn't going to change her mind, she just explained in good words, the tutoring treatment was good, the students made remarkable progress, the associate professor and his wife were overjoyed, and repeatedly persuaded her to stay in the winter vacation.Besides, the train tickets are priced during the Spring Festival, which is expensive and difficult to buy.Her parents had no choice but to let her go.

In fact, she had no intention of making her parents unhappy.However, the old dormitory of grandparents has already started to be relocated, but no agreement has been reached on the reconstruction on the original site and the amount of compensation for the demolition.Some residents chose to be nail households, and had a hard time with the developer. According to my father, the law and order in the area deteriorated, and water and electricity were intermittent, so it was basically unsuitable for people to live in.If she wanted to go back, she would have to live in either of her parents' homes, but she really didn't want to be inserted into two complete families as a redundant person.

After the winter vacation started, she didn't apply to the school for holiday accommodation, packed her things, and lived in Su Zhe's house.She went to teach the associate professor's daughter three times a week, and sometimes she bought some vegetables along the way and tried to make something for herself.She usually stays in the house, or reads on the sofa, or rents back the original soundtrack to watch. She feels that her English listening has improved a lot, and she goes out for a walk when she is tired.Apart from thinking about Su Zhe, being alone with absolutely no one to disturb her was the most enjoyable vacation she had ever had.

She and Su Zhe had several phone calls one after another. Su Zhe was always in a bad mood, and he could only talk about the current situation in general every time.His mother has been diagnosed and arranged a date for surgery, but his father only came to accompany him for two days before returning home, and his mother was very depressed.In a rage, he called his father, and the father and son had another big quarrel. As soon as she persuaded him not to get angry, he became annoyed: "You'd better not say that to me, do you know that I hate my mother for saying that the most, she has been forbearing all her life, that's why she got used to my father's selfishness, I also depressed myself out of cancer."

He hung up the phone, and she could only look at the phone and smile wryly.Of course, she sympathized with his feelings, but she did feel frustrated.She thought, she can't coax people at all. Could it be that long-term habits have made her lose the ability to understand and comfort other people's moods?In the loneliest moment, she enjoyed Su Zhe's warm embrace, but at this moment she felt completely powerless, unable to give him any help at all. On New Year's Eve, the weather was gloomy, with light rain and snow in the afternoon.Shao Yimin also went to buy a bunch of food, rented back a few seasons of "Friends", and planned to watch them all without going out for a few days.After eating something in the evening, she wore her pajamas and nestled on the sofa to watch the Spring Festival Gala for the first time in several years, but she was still uneasy in front of such excitement, after thinking about it, she sent a text message to Su Zhe, asking him how he was doing now How about it. It took Su Zhe a long time to call her back and told her that his mother's operation had just been completed, and according to the doctor's statement it was a success, and they would return to China after the observation period.While talking, a young woman's clear and sweet voice came out from the phone: "Su Zhe, do you want me to bring you a cup of coffee?" Su Zhe moved away from the phone and said something in a low voice, and then said to her: "Just now, she is an employee of the company. She used to work in an American pharmaceutical company and sold anti-cancer drugs. She happened to be more familiar with the situation here. So I brought her here to help take care of my mother." He explained it in such detail that Shao Yimin could only say "oh", feeling a little embarrassed.That voice gave her a strange feeling, her heart beat heavily, and now she could only blame herself for being stingy. Su Zhe's voice was tired, and he asked her to take care of herself, but the two didn't say much.Putting down her mobile phone, she sat down on the window sill of the bay window, looking at the light snow mixed with raindrops floating outside the window, she couldn't help but think of the heavy snow that often fell in her hometown, covering the sky and covering the sky.She has been here for several years, and she has never seen a decent snowfall. Every time a little snowflake falls, it can attract cheers from the local students. She thought, does this count as homesickness?She couldn't help being a little surprised, she always thought she didn't have any feelings or nostalgia for the city where she was born and raised.But on such a festival, no matter how accustomed to being alone, there is a bit of a strange mood.For a moment, she thought of her grandparents far away, and Su Zhe who was almost as far away. She buried her head in her knees, feeling a little helpless with such overwhelming emotions, and could only wait for herself to calm down, and then confronted him absent-mindedly. TV party.
