Chapter 3 Lao Zhang's Philosophy (3)

With the sound of dusting off shoes outside the door, Sun Ba rushed out to greet him, and Lao Zhang opened his throat and shouted, "Stand up!" More than fifty students lined up in two rows.Xiao San retracted her left foot with too much force, and put her heel on Xiao Si's toes, "Ouch! Teacher! Xiao San stands at attention and stands on my feet!" "Turn left—turn! Line up—welcome!" At the command, all the students put their right hands beside their eyebrows. Xiao Si was about to cry in pain, but he didn't dare to cry, so he just covered his eyes with his hands and looked out through tears.He knew Li Wu who was walking in front of the yamen, and the one behind was naturally the Master of Academic Affairs.

"You don't need to salute, just put your hands down, put them down, put them down!" The academic affairs officer showed more than ten thousand impatient expressions.The students all took their hands from their brows.Lao Zhang added: "Li-bi!" Li Wu handed over a business card, Lao Zhang asked in a low voice: "How?" Li Wu secretly replied: "It's easy to talk." "My lord, sit in the east room, or go to the lecture hall?" Lao Zhang raised his hand to the academic affairs lord. "Mr. Li, wait for me, I'll take a look and leave. Experts can tell whether the school is good or bad by standing outside the school for five minutes. That means you're born in the school." The academic officer shrugged his shoulders and held tight With his belly in his hands, he coughed loudly twice, then puffed out his cheeks, only rolled his eyes, and looked around without twisting his neck.Roll a mouthful of phlegm with the tip of the tongue into a smooth round bullet, like spit from a small pump under the almond tree.He took out a small towel and wiped his mouth, and then wiped the sweat from his nose.Then he said to himself, "Hmph! No spittoon!"

"Then fifth, eighth master, you two sit in the east room, and I will take care of you." Lao Zhang said. "You don't need 'adult' or 'adult'! 'Mr.' is fine! The new method and the new address are not as good as seven or eight years ago. Take the students to the 'room'!" "Yes! Go to the 'lecture hall'?" "The lecture hall is the room, and the room is the lecture hall!" The academic affairs officer seemed a little dissatisfied with Lao Zhang's way of asking. "Yes!" Lao Zhang raised his hand again. "Turn to the left! Enter the lecture hall!"

The student raised his feet to his knees, stomped his heels vigorously, and walked towards the lecture hall, shaking the ground with a thunderous sound. Lao Zhang looked down from the podium, and the students looked like more than fifty small stone piles.To put it playfully, it looks like more than fifty small stone Buddhas; with eyes wide open, mouth pouted, neck straight, and legs straight.That is to say, Professor Zhang is old and experienced as an academic affairs officer, otherwise who can live with such a formation!The more than fifty children really didn't move a single hair, and even if one of them moved unfortunately, the sound could be heard.The academic affairs officer was blocked by the thick charcoal gas in the room, and sneezed three times in a row; he took out the Japanese "Baodan" from the door pocket, inhaled it continuously, and took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears .Lao Zhang took advantage of this opportunity to look at the academic affairs officer: the academic affairs officer is about forty-five or sixteen years old.A black and yellow face, inlaid with two glazed balls, more white and less black.It has a high eagle nose in the middle, with some dry yellow tassels hanging under the nose, covering the mouth.Wearing an old gray official gauze robe, underneath a pair of western-style trousers made of Henan silk, with the trousers tied.A pair of short-tube semi-new foreign leather shoes under one step, with socks made by the local Lanshi cloth house exposed.At first glance, it makes people feel that the light is a bit out of tune, but after getting used to it, it seems that "the old and the new are suitable", and "you are allowed to stick to it".Or it can be said that it is the harbinger of the harmony of Eastern and Western cultures.

Lao Zhang didn't dare to read it carefully, so he opened the third volume "Chinese Language" that he had already prepared, and began to perform his skills. "The third lesson of "New Chinese", did you find it?" "Found it!" the students all shouted in the highest tune. "Listen! Now it's time to 'remind attention'." Lao Zhang read down the procedure of the professor's book. "Wang De! Stand up straight! That's 'sports', do you understand?" Wang De didn't understand, so he could only straighten his waist, which was already straight.

"Listen! Now I'm going to 'enter concepts'. This lesson is about swallows, and swallows are also migratory birds. Migratory birds are a kind of bird. Do you understand?" "Understood! Teacher!" The students shouted again.Xiaosan almost bit off the tip of her tongue because she was too forceful. "Don't call me 'teacher', call me 'sir'! New things and new titles, I told you yesterday, why don't you remember? You should...you should remember!" Lao Zhang continued: "The swallow flew from Hokkaido over Little Luzon. , crossed the Indian Ocean and came to Turchistan, this is why it is a migratory bird, do you understand?"

"Understood! Teacher, ah... ah... sir!" This time he shouted incoherently. The academic officer put a pencil in his mouth, and followed Lao Zhang's lectures, and wrote them down in a small notebook one by one.After writing a section, stick your tongue out to your lips, and prepare to dip your saliva on your pencil before writing.When writing, the pencil touches the tongue twice to write a word.Wang De sneaked a peek, he thought that your Excellency was suffering from mouth sores; Li Xiaosan - the academic affairs officer was standing on his right - thought that there was persimmon frosting sugar on your Excellency's pencil. "Mr. Zhang, won't you be there by the end of school?" Old Zhang was about to start his lecture when the Master of Education suddenly spoke.

"Twenty minutes to go, yes!" "You go out of class earlier and send a college student to watch them. I have something to tell you." "Yes! Li Ying, watch them study! Stand up! Stand up! Let's salute!" The students all stood up and put their hands next to their brows. Most of them took the opportunity to scratch the hot sweat from their temples. Some of the academic affairs adults didn't pay attention, and walked out of the lecture hall swaggeringly. "Whoever wants to die will make noise before the adults leave!" Old Zhang said with one eye outward and one inward, holding the door with his hand, gritting his teeth and saying in a low voice.Your Excellency came to the east room, Li Wu and Sun Ba stood up.Sun Ba handed over a bowl of tea and said, "It's hard work! It's hard work! It's such a hot day to run so far!"

"Official matters, there is no way! What's your surname?" The lord took a sip of tea and cleared his mouth.After coughing for a long time, I finally swallowed it. "Sun Baye, a local gentleman." Lao Zhang answered for Sun Ba, and then said: "Today's teaching is good or bad, please forgive me!" "The professor is not bad. You are very familiar with foreign place names, but it's better to write them on the blackboard." The adult said solemnly. "To tell you the truth, sir, those foreign characters were learned by a brother of mine. He worked as an interpreter for the six countries in Dongjiaomin Lane. According to him, as long as you read foreign characters, you just need to adjust the pronounciation, and you will be sure." Old Zhang squeezed again Smile from the outside to the inside.

"Why should your brother say that the one who has been in school doesn't know that Chinese and Western languages ​​are the same." The adult took out his pipe and twisted a bag of cigarettes, and asked, "How many students are there in total?" "Fifty-four. Yes! There are two leave today: one has a funeral at home, and the other has 'ghost rubella'." Adults write in a notebook. "How much is the tuition fee for a year?" "If it's good, it's one hundred and fifty yuan a year; if it's not good, it's about one hundred yuan."

The adults wrote it in a notebook, and then asked: "How can I call it an admission?" Lao Zhang rolled his eyes and replied: "There are some dropouts on the way. If the tuition fee does not come in, it will be counted as an injury." "Whoa! Which school do you use for the textbooks, the business ones or the Zhonghua ones?" "The Zhonghua Books! Yes!" Adults write in a notebook.Put the pencil in your mouth, as if remembering something.Slowly said: "It's better to use business, the schools in the city have been changed." "Yes! Change tomorrow! Change tomorrow!" "It's not that I'm talking too much. It stands to reason that the word 'China' sounds better than 'business'. A few days ago, I listened to a lecture in the city and said 'China is a great power'. Why is it not fashionable now?" Sun Ba said eloquently . "How can you know more than adults, there must be a reason." Lao Zhang looked at Sun Ba, and then at adults. The lord coughed twice, covered his mouth with a handkerchief as if he was about to yawn, but unfortunately he didn't. "Official affairs change at any time," Li Wu took the opportunity to express some of his experience as an errand: "It's not fashionable now, and it will be back to normal in two years. An errand has to follow new things. Is that the case? My lord!" "Yes! That's great! Mr. Zhang! It's not that I sell well in front of you and miss me. Is there anyone who observes students all over the world and gives advice to the teachers? The inspectors pay attention to the cracks and flaws of the teachers. ..." "Your Excellency is wise," Li Wu and Sun Ba said together. "However," the lord raised his voice and said, "Mr. Zhang, there is one thing I have to find fault with you." Li Wu and Sun Ba were both worried for Lao Zhang.Lao Zhang remained calm and said, "Yes! Sir, give me advice!" "Why is your podium built on the west side? That's the 'Baihu Terrace', which hinders parents. Education is a charitable cause, how can you do it like this!" The adult said word by word. "The previous adults said that the left light was used in the classroom, so I built the podium on the west side. To be honest, I still know a little bit about Feng Shui, Yin and Yang. I don't dare to disobey the orders of my superiors, and my husband must forgive me!" "Needless to say about my ex, he can handle things, and he won't quit his job. But I will never report it. If I want to embarrass you, I won't tell you face to face, will I?" The adults laughed, Li Wu, Sun Eight also laughed. The adults took another sip of tea and stood up.Li Wu and Sun Ba also stood up, but Lao Zhang didn't sit down to save trouble. "It's hot, take more rest." Sun Ba said. "No! I plan to go to two places in the afternoon. Mr. Li!" "My lord!" Li Wu smiled like a drunk crab. "Shall we go to Wulidun, or Yellow Fish Shop?" "My lord, please go ahead, the guard sent me to escort you, and obey your orders!" "Fifth! Serve my lord well, I have to treat you to tea, needless to say my lord..." Lao Zhang swallowed it when he wanted to say it. "Let's go to the Yellow Fish Shop!" The adults seemed not to pay attention to what Old Zhang said. "My lord, what a beautiful word! Fifth, you lead your lord from Wangjiacun to Dongdatun and from Wu Qianzong's gate. The road is full of willow trees, which are somewhat covered, and the sunlight is too poisonous." Lao Zhang said. My lord walked ahead, and Sun Ba couldn't stop saying "hard work".Li Wu secretly pulled Lao Zhang's sleeve, stretched his thumb, and Lao Zhang smiled.
