Chapter 7 Simu's frustration

After the sports meeting, it was time to prepare for the entrance examination. The students aimed to be admitted to the normal school, and they all concentrated on their preparations.However, the admission rate of those who can be admitted to normal schools every year is only about one person per county.There are 16 schools in the county, and there are more than 20 classes of sixth graders alone. The competition for the admission rate of one student per county is naturally fierce. Taiming hoped that the school that he could serve for him would strive for the admission rate of only one student in that county. He would review Mandarin and arithmetic for the students every morning before get out of class, and answer questions about the entrance examination for the students after class. When I came to my home for tutoring, my homework was full, and I took the first step to break through the difficulties.But once Taiming started tutoring the students, he found that some of the candidates hadn't even digested the basic third-grade textbooks, which really shocked Taiming.It is conceivable how lax it is for the discipline (mentor) teachers in the lower grades.

Taiming devoted himself wholeheartedly to tutoring candidates, and he had no time to talk to his colleagues. He hoped that this year he would be freed from the quagmire of longing for Hisako Naito.However, his enthusiasm for tutoring candidates did not necessarily win the good opinion of his colleagues. Some people even secretly accused Tai Ming of gaining fame or ridiculed him as a futile effort.Li Xundao said that because the number of local people entering secondary schools is limited, no matter how hard you try, it will be futile. Suppose that the number of students admitted by school A is one more, and the number of students admitted by school B will decrease by one. The overall situation has not changed. It's the fight on the snail's horn, he said, sneering in front of Taiming's eyes.However, all these arguments are just a rationalized defense for his own laziness in tutoring candidates.On the contrary, Taiming disapproved of the surrounding air. 'It all depends on the result, just wait and see! 'He urged the candidates to study day and night, his eyes were red and bloodshot.

One night, a middle-aged gentleman with good manners visited Taiming's dormitory. He claimed that his surname was Lin, and he was a member of the town's council. He was a noble and famous gentleman.Mrs. Lin said solemnly: "Mr. is young and promising. He personally takes care of the candidates. It is admirable. I came today to ask Mr. for one thing..." He has three sons, and the eldest son failed to apply for some secondary schools on the island. , had no choice but to let him study in Japan.However, ten years in Tokyo, just dawdling, learning to play billiards and having fun with women.So come back with nothing.The second son also took the same route to study in Japan, but he was involved in the ideological movement, and the news was cut off.Lin's expectations all fell on the three men.His wish is that at least the three boys can go to middle schools on the island in front of their parents.As for the school where Taimei served, Sannan was a sixth grader this year and was assigned to Mr. Ito's class. The teacher in this class did not give extra-curricular guidance. He humbly asked Mr. Ito for special guidance, but was refused.He had nothing to do, so he came to ask Taiming.Needless to say, with his current academic strength, he is not sure that he will be admitted to middle school.

Taiming heard Lin's words, he trusted Taiming so much, the young Taiming was moved and excited.Include the students in other classes into the candidates he tutored, especially the students in Ito's class who once falsely accused him of being a celebrity seller. If he does this, he knows that unpredictable emotional problems will occur.However, Taiming accepted Lin's request.Lin's desire for his son to become a dragon moved him, and a sense of justice boiled in Taiming's heart. After talking about the business, Lin breathed a sigh of relief, started to gossip, he looked around the room and said: "This dormitory hasn't been renovated, isn't the tatami replaced?" ''It hasn't changed for three years. ''Three years?But in terms of budget, it needs to be changed every year. ''I applied late last year, but the principal said there was no budget. ''No budget? ' Lin said with a changed face.

'This is where it is... When I visited the dormitory of Mr. Principal, Mr. Ito and the female teacher during the New Year, the tatami mats in their homes were beautifully replaced with new ones. It was too much!Steal the budget. ' So Lin pointed out that the principal and the Japanese teachers had done a series of arbitrary things, and they only went back after expressing their grievances. Thanks to Taiming's efforts, the students' grades improved, and when the clear signs of progress appeared, Taiming felt the joy of being rewarded for his efforts, and felt warm in his heart.

'Try your best to tutor candidates, try your best, even if you fail, you will have no regrets! 'Taiming felt a fighting, fulfilling mood. The day of the exam has arrived!What was the result?That day Taiming had been feeling uneasy since the morning.Suddenly, I felt that the efforts I had accumulated so far seemed to be of no avail, and I felt unsure.But now, there is no other way but to wait for the cold and strict ruling. As a result of the exam, they got good results beyond expectations. One of the candidates tutored by Taiming was admitted to a normal school, and two were admitted to a middle school.There is no precedent for a school with a three-place acceptance rate.Taiming felt a heartfelt thankfulness to God, tears welled up in his eyes, and his vision blurred when he looked at the admission list.

Suddenly someone patted Taiming on the shoulder from behind, he turned his head and saw Mrs. Lin. 'Big success!Congratulations! Lin who said this, sincerely, held Taiming's hand.But at that moment, Taiming thought, 'Ah!How did Lin's children do in the exam? ' Taiming's heart suddenly turned cold.He was anxious to see the overall results, and ignored individual schoolchildren, especially Lin's children. Taiming's hand was held by Mrs. Lin: "I'm sorry, because of my lack of ability..." Taiming said as he lowered his head, with sad tears at the end of his words.On the contrary, Lin encouraged Taiming and said: "Where is this, Mr. has tried his best!"As a result, my children are not capable enough. When Lin said this, the end of the sentence revealed sadness.

No one can deny that the exceptionally high admission rate for admission to higher education is due to Taiming's efforts.The news spread in the school and in the town. Taiming felt relieved in his heart, and couldn't help feeling embarrassed.The next day, after school, when he was packing up to go back: 'Mr. Hu!Congratulations! When Hisako said this, Taiming felt numb all over his body when he heard her voice. Jiuzi said again: "You are really good at guiding candidates and leading them to persevere to the end!" ’ Her tone of voice was unusually emotional.At this moment, Taiming also sincerely accepted her blessing. Although the two of them talked little, they felt that their hearts were connected, and they stood there silently.

However, the harmonious atmosphere was broken by Rui'e's words: 'It's amazing!Mr. Hu, congratulations!Really great! Rui'e's high-pitched excited voice instantly dispelled the harmonious atmosphere between Taiming and Hisako. 'Hey, why is this woman like this? ’ Taiming was bored by Rui’e’s full display of kindness, and had no energy to talk to her.And this feeling reflexively turned into longing for Hisako as if he was panting.When he devoted himself to tutoring candidates for the entrance examination, he once thought that he had surpassed his longing for Hisako, but the result was nothing more than a momentary confusion.Now facing her like this, listening to Jiuzi's voice and looking at Jiuzi's face, he can't help but be attracted to her, which proves that he still longs for her in his heart.After saying goodbye to Hisako, Taiming still misses Hisako.

Later, by chance, Taiming and Hisako met more than once, at the graduation ceremony full of joys and sorrows, and then met Jiuzi again unexpectedly during the trip home from vacation.So Hisako asked Taiming to get off the car and go with her to her parents' house.For Hisako, it might be just a general polite way of showing friendliness to her colleagues, but for Taiaki, she couldn't help but feel a sense of nervousness about her visit. Hisako's parents warmly entertained this rare visitor.It happened to be noon when I arrived at her house, so I invited him to have a Japanese lunch.Taiming didn't find fried shrimp, fried vegetables and pinto beans unusual, but he wasn't used to yam sauce and sashimi.Hisako said to Taiming while sucking the yam juice, "Wow!Mr. Hu, it's delicious. You can eat some. She naively persuaded Taiming to eat, but Taiming only dipped his chopsticks slightly.Her mother saw that Taiming hadn't put down the chopsticks on the sashimi, so she said to him: "This is tuna, eat a piece!" The elders persuaded him to eat vegetables, so Taiming had to hold a piece and put it in his mouth, and he didn't hesitate. He swallowed it without tasting it, and without chewing it. But as soon as he swallowed it, his stomach immediately turned into a feeling of vomiting. Taiming held back, took out a handkerchief, and pretended to wipe his mouth. Tears came out. This was the first time he had tasted the bitter taste of love in his life. Hisako's kind family did not notice Taiming's reaction. They thought that if they ate delicious sashimi, Taiming would also It looks delicious. When Taiming said goodbye, Hisako sent Taiming to the station. When the train left the station, she waved a handkerchief to watch him off. Before the start of the new semester, we couldn’t see each other for a while, and the sadness of parting gnawed at Taiming’s heart , On the train heading to his hometown, the image of Hisako waving a handkerchief and watching him off always appeared in Taiming's mind.
