Chapter 3 Three, the clown

Jia Li didn't have a very good reputation in the class. The girls all said that he was good at pranks and that he was a contemporary Xu Wenchang-style figure.Whenever something weird happened in the class, such as a cartoon drawn on the blackboard, they would say in unison, "Did Jarry do it?" Jerry was a little downcast.Once, he deliberately announced in public: "Hey, please pay attention, don't appreciate me too much in the future, my talents are limited, don't let such things be set on me again." The girls were giggling -- tell them what's serious, but they don't care.Especially the one named Hong Shang said sharply: "Don't want this place to have three hundred taels of silver!"

They are even more airy when they have someone who is ahead.After arguing for a long time, Jia Li felt that he was being treated as a clown and hurt, so he was very angry. The girl Hong Chang has a round face, she is tall and big, but she is a little fatter, but she is actually very beautiful. Every time someone mentions Jia Li, she has to interrupt and say a few words that Jia Li doesn't want to hear.Seeing that she was so unfriendly, Jia Li wanted to fall out several times, but finally held back.When he was free, he nicknamed Hong Shang, first calling her "Fater Ling", and later called her "Carmen".

"Carmen?" Lu Zhisheng said, "It sounds like a foreign name, very nice!" "There's an opera called Carmen, but Carmen means too fat to get in!" Jarry said angrily. Unexpectedly, these two nicknames were lost, and they were finally passed on by some disappointing boy.Hong Shang cried very sadly, as if someone had splashed dirty water on him.Seeing her pathetic way of wiping her tears, Jia Li really didn't understand, why are the two nicknames worth it?He himself has been honored to have received more than ten nicknames, such as "foreign xiaokai", "soy milk", and "toad", he has never refused to come.

Hong Shang was the leading figure among the girls, and when she offended her, Jia Li became popular among the girls, especially some fat girls, as if these two nicknames applied to them, so he also felt bitter about Jia Li.According to reliable information, they plan to join forces and remove him when they select the class committee next year. This is so unfair. In fact, Hong Shang offended him, and he reciprocated. The two have settled down, and they should work together!That Hong Chang is too fierce, and so are the group of girls, there is no logic at all. What makes Jia Li even more difficult to balance is the attitude of the head teacher, Teacher Cha.Mr. Cha is a northerner, poorly dressed, and these days he still wears an old-fashioned polyester Chinese tunic suit. He always likes to talk about his experience when he was admitted to the Department of Drama and Literature of the Drama Academy, and even how he felt when he failed the election.From Jia Li's point of view, Mr. Cha must have lost his dignity because of old age. If it were him, he wouldn't want to talk about failure with others!

Mr. Cha is a close friend of Jerry's father and visits his house at least once a week.But as soon as he entered the school, he didn't talk about personal relationships at all. After he knew these two nicknames, he gave Jerry a hard time and said, "You behave like a clown!" Jia Li felt that he couldn't bear such ridicule, and Teacher Cha didn't have to be so partial!It is said that male teachers cover up girls, it seems to be true, this incident is a clear proof! Two weeks later, another incident happened. One day, Jia Li rode his father's old car to school. In the shed, he saw a new car lying on the ground next to him.Jia Li put his car away, and was about to lean down to help it, when he suddenly felt that the car looked familiar, when he remembered that it was Hong Shang's new car, he froze there, hesitating, not knowing how to help it, Or just pretend not to see it.

At this moment, Hong Chang came in, and she saw the fallen car and Jia Li holding the handlebar at a glance.Jia Li jumped away in a hurry, thinking about it, he went to help the car again. "Hey, I really didn't push it down!" "Forget it!" Hong Shang said coldly. Jerry wanted to punch her with his fist.Why are girls so domineering!Of course, this matter spread to Mr. Cha again, and Mr. Zha was really angry, and scolded him for "doing nothing after repeated admonitions"!There are also many unacceptable words that Jiali hates the most, such as "small belly and chicken intestines" and "no big ambitions"-can these words be used casually?

Being a boy in this class means nothing.Jia Li asked to switch shifts, but was pushed back by Teacher Cha.He said: "When will you correct this problem, when will I let you go." Now, Jia Li's dissatisfaction with Mr. Cha swelled. Teacher Cha does have a shortcoming, that is, he is confused.When Jia Li and the others first entered the school, they heard some anecdotes about him from senior students: One night when he went to lock the door of the classroom, he saw a classmate who was still reviewing. He opened the door and said to the student: Don't make too much noise Night.Then he closed the door and locked it, and walked away; causing the student to jump out of the window and go home. Of course, those are all legends and cannot be verified.However, Mr. Cha does often do inappropriate things.For example, he often said "goodbye, classmates" to "goodbye, classmates" before class!Everyone laughed, but he was not embarrassed, and said mockingly: "Didn't we meet again?"

In addition, he is impeccable. His lesson plans are thick, and he always puts them in a big kraft paper bag and carries them with him. He is probably ready to read them well. During class, he looks at the lesson plans from time to time and speaks clearly; The writing on the blackboard is also very beautiful and worthy of appreciation; in addition, he also speaks authentic Mandarin from the north. He gives Chinese lessons and likes to ask questions.In the past, Jia Li was a top student in Chinese class, but he didn't like this teacher, and he also hated the class he taught. It sounds weird, but it is the truth.So recently, every time Mr. Zha asked Jia Li a question, all he got was an incorrect answer.

"I warn you, don't do stupid things!" Teacher Cha is an emotional person, absolutely outgoing. "I'll warn you too!" Jia Li thought to himself, but dared not speak out. Recently, Teacher Zha came to knock on the door of Jia Li's house almost every lunch break, but he was definitely not looking for his students, but went straight to the head of the household.Jia Li's father is a children's literature writer, and writing is like eating, which is indispensable every day.Teacher Cha wrote a new script and came to ask for advice. The two literati met and talked for more than an hour.Until Teacher Cha jumped up, "There is class in the afternoon"!Then he left with a lot of meaning, and walked straight to the classroom with the big bag containing the lesson plans.

As we all know, Jerry would not be interested in the conversation between the two literati. He always stayed in his hut doing what he liked, practicing push-ups, or listening to the tape recorder.One day, he was calling Lu Zhisheng when he suddenly heard someone slapping the table next door and his voice raised, as if he was arguing about something! "Hey, there's a quarrel over there!" Jarry tipped off. "Hurry up and do an interview." Lu Zhisheng became excited, "Look at how they fight!" Jia Li put down the phone and heard Lu Zhisheng on the phone, fearing that the world would not be chaotic: "Hey, don't hang up the phone, tell me the battle situation anytime!"

Jia Li was not willing to listen to his instructions, so he hung up the phone!He quietly went out and pushed away his father's room, only to see the two literati clumsily climbing up and down to the attic. On the top were all bundles of books, which his father called: the small treasury. The two nerds were still very excited, bowing their waists in the small vault, gesticulating, expressing their opinions. "It's just a drama with a novel story." "No, no, Shakespeare's plays are all about character." Disappointed, Jia Li was about to exit quickly when he caught a glimpse of Teacher Zha's bag open, and half of the bag of lesson plans protruded from it.Suddenly, all the dissatisfaction with this class teacher was condensed into one thought, yes, hide his lesson plans and make him make a fool of himself! When I took out the package of lesson plans, the package suddenly collapsed.Jia Li hurriedly took out a brown leather bag of manuscript paper from Dad on the shelf and stuffed it into Teacher Zha's schoolbag.This only happened within a few seconds, and before he could hide the bag of lesson plans, the phone rang one after another. It must be Lu Zhisheng who failed to accomplish anything! Immediately, Dad leaned out of the vault and yelled, "Jerry, answer the phone!" Jia Li couldn't get out from under his father's eyes, so he could only sneak into the storage room with the lesson plans in his arms. There was a lot of mold in there, and if he stayed for a long time, he would lose his life.Immediately afterwards, the two literati went down to the attic, and Jia Li heard his father muttering to answer the phone - he deliberately installed the phone in Jia Li's room and let his children serve as pagers. For about a minute, Teacher Zha didn't make a sound. Jia Li thought he had discovered a loophole, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.I only heard Mr. Cha say to himself: "Shakespeare's works are really a cultural pyramid!" Then, I heard him zipping up the zipper "crack"! Jerry praised Shakespeare's divine power in his heart. Dad came in with his shoes on, and said grumblingly, "I don't know which kid was messing around. As soon as I answered the phone, he asked me how the fight was going--how boring, I don't cherish the good times! I gave him a scolding!" Oh, Lu Zhisheng who asked for trouble! Ten minutes later, the two good friends met. When Jia Li told Lu Zhisheng what he had done, the guy stuttered with excitement: "This, this, it's a good show!" Teacher Zha is a very confused person. If there is no lesson plan, he will stutter and make a fool of himself.And Jia Li has already brought that lesson plan, ready to open it, and often gives him a reminder in public by surprise. They could imagine Teacher Cha's embarrassment.From then on, it was difficult for him to show his prestige in front of them. The class bell rang, and the poor teacher, Mr. Zha, didn't know the details, so he said calmly: "Let's have a Chinese class! Explain sixteen lessons." Jia Li quickly gestured to Lu Zhisheng, who had secretly turned over the lesson plan to lesson sixteen.It was a story about Newton with a bunch of numbers and jargon, wow, look how he went down.If he makes a mistake, someone will call him out! Teacher Zha opened the bag and took out the kraft paper bag. He didn't even notice that the color of the paper bag was different, but when he pulled out the stack of manuscript papers and collected himself, he was stunned immediately, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Lu Zhisheng gave a dry cough, smiled, and grinned, as if it was his credit. After a few seconds of silence, Teacher Zha's face turned even paler.Soon, he neatly pushed the manuscript paper into the paper bag, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said, "Okay, let's start with the sixteenth lesson! Let me introduce Newton's life first." Jia Li's heart was in his throat, and he was a little dazed.It was as if a secret weapon had failed. "Isaac Newton, a famous British physicist, was born in 1642. He conducted in-depth research on the basis of the work of Galileo and others, and established Newton's laws of motion; he also further developed the research of Kepler and others As a result, the law of universal gravitation was discovered..." Jerry nearly passed out.He looked at the lesson plan to find out, but found that Mr. Cha could recite the lesson plan word for word fluently.The smoother and more perfect he spoke, the more Jarry felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, wishing he could jump out of the classroom immediately.That Lu Zhisheng, extremely happy and sad, threw himself on the desk and was depressed! Later, Teacher Zha went to Jia Li’s house to return the bag of manuscript paper, and by chance, he saw that his lesson plan was neatly placed on a prominent place on the shelf, so he took it off and said magnanimously, “Ha, you are here! " Jarry's dad was an outsider, and asked casually, "What's going on?" "Switch the package." Teacher Zha said meaningfully, nodding towards Jia Li from a distance. "Oh, what code words are you typing!" Jia Li's father had many things to think about, and he could only pick some things to think about, so he discarded this matter. From that day on, the relationship between Jia Li and Mr. Cha changed a little, as if they knew each other's details.In Jiali's opinion, Teacher Zha has skills, and he believes that he can learn something from him. At this time, another thing happened.Hong Shang, a girl in the class, has moved to the suburbs of the city.The class committee discussed how to send off, and the three female class committee members asked to take pictures. "Is it necessary?" Jerry said to himself, but he didn't say it, and he remembered the harsh word, "Small belly." However, at the final vote, everyone voted yes, and Jarry raised his hand. On the day of parting, everyone gathered at the entrance of the photo shop. The boys and girls gathered around Hong Shang and left her their home addresses. Everyone hoped to have a friend who lived far away and communicated frequently. In the end, even Lu Zhisheng squeezed in and left his address, as if he and her had always been friendly and had never called her "Carmen".Seeing Jia Li who was standing coldly aside, he asked loudly, "Jia Li, don't you want to leave an address?" Jia Li was hesitating when he heard Hong Shang react. "Jia Li? He doesn't need to leave his address!" Hong Shang spoke clearly. Jerry felt greatly ridiculed, and he was scratching his head to prepare a hateful message as revenge!It's a pity that Teacher Cha is standing beside Hong Shang, and Jia Li has no chance of revenge. Later, when we stood in line to take pictures, Jarry didn't hear what the photographer said. His heart was filled with grievance and resentment, and because he had nowhere to confide in, he felt a little downcast. "Okay, let's break up!" said the photographer. Only then did Jia Li remember that he hadn't had time to smile. In fact, people can't laugh all the time. When he looked up, he found that Mr. Zha was looking at him with piercing eyes. Soon, Mr. Cha celebrated his birthday—it was inquired by those good-hearted girls. They always think that celebrating birthday is a major event in life.For a while, someone prepared a blessing card, someone prepared a notebook, and someone wrote a light poem.Jarry drew a picture of a majestic big rooster.Titled "My Teacher". "Why draw a chicken?" Lu Zhisheng said, "Drawing a tiger is more or less the same." "Ms. Cha is a chicken!" "It's bad, aren't you vilifying him?" "What do you know!" said Jarry, "he's not that kind of person, he hates the kind of narrow-minded people who care about everything!" Sure enough, among all the gifts, Teacher Zha loved this painting the most, and even planned to mount it for a permanent collection. One day he came up to Jarry and said: "Thank you very much for your painting. I would like to give you a present in return." Jia Li became coy: "No, no, as long as you like it." Teacher Zha handed him an exquisite notebook.When I opened the title page, I saw that it was written in thick handwriting - Only with a broad mind like the sea can you have the depth and dignity like the sea.Jia Li smiled and didn't express anything, but his face flushed red all of a sudden.It's not easy being a boy, especially if you want to be an outstanding boy! On the day he received the notebook, Jia Li had another unexpected harvest: he received a letter from Hong Shang.She called him an unforgettable boy, and said that she didn't need his address because she walked past his house every day when she went to school, and she was already very familiar with the house number. Later, Jia Li found out that among all his classmates, he was the first lucky one to receive Hong Shang's letter.
