Chapter 28 – Summer vacation

“Ah, it’s so hot! When will the classroom be equipped with air conditioners? ” 

The boys in short sleeves had just returned to the classroom from the outdoors, rushed under the ceiling fans, pulled the t-shirts to blow the air, and complained loudly.

The sun was scorching outside the window. Looking down from the corridor, the whole field was covered with white light. No one dared to walk under the uncovered sun. Even the noisiest students were much quieter.

Just after the lunch break, it was the time when the monkeys were the most lingering. The teacher took the textbook into the classroom and saw someone lying on the table, unwilling to get up. He knocked on the podium without serious intent.

“Get up, class is not over.” 

Chi Tang also pulled her head from her arm, showing her sleepy face. Sleeping on the desk in the morning is uncomfortable. Her neck hurt and she felt dizzy when she woke up. She sat there with a face full of displeasure and said nothing. 

On the podium, the teacher asked the students to open the textbook, but she did not move. A bottle of water was pushed over. You Yu had poured it for her. Chi Tang still kept that nightmare face, drank the water, and put the lid back on after drinking.

Outside the window was a small forest. In addition to the ginkgo leaves, there were more than a dozen camphor sycamore trees, all of which had been old trees for many years. The crowns were dense, and you would live a lot in summer. The regular and harsh sound had appeared intermittently since the beginning of the hot weather, and now it could be heard every day. 

The 360-degree stereo sound was very noisy. It was hot, noisy, and irritating. Feeling that the students were impetuous, the old man on the podium couldn’t help but sigh and temporarily broadcast psychological education in the content of the class. 

“Summer vacation is coming soon. The final exam is close at hand, and I know that whether some students can have a good summer vacation is determined by their test scores. To have a happier summer vacation, you have to prepare for this exam, right? ” 

Chi Tang was already half-hearted and flew out of the sky. Listening to the old Fang nag, she was even more dazed. She usually spent her summer vacation by herself because her dad worked sometimes on contract projects during the summer vacation. 

Last summer, her dad didn’t do the project. He stayed at home and gambled every day. He was tired of seeing her. They fought several times. 

This summer, he had better go out quickly. She would rather stay at home alone all summer. 

During the last vacation before the exam, Chi Tang went home, and when she heard her father say that she was going to do the project in S Province, she immediately relaxed her heart.

She was in a good mood for several days, and she didn’t even care much about exams.

But the examination process was still very painful. After adjusting to the location, dividing the examination room, and suffering for three days in the heat-deadly weather, all the students became accustomed to it.

But as soon as they finished the exam, they were immediately liberated. 

When they finished the last exam, the previous dull atmosphere disappeared instantly, and the classroom became a sea of joy. Everyone was discussing how to spend the summer vacation: returning home and traveling.

You Yu was there, carefully sorting out the summer homework that had just been sent out.

Chi Tang turned over the torn part of the answer and asked her deskmate: “How long will it take you to finish this summer homework?”

You Yu thought for a while: “Five days?”

Chi Tang said calmly, “It’ll also take me five days.”

However, the five days that You Yu said must’ve been five days before the beginning of the summer vacation, and the five days she said were the last five days of the end of the summer vacation. Chi Tang was not ashamed of this. 

After all, compared to those who didn’t do their summer homework, she would do it all at once. She could go home after school in a while, but You Yu probably wouldn’t go home. Chi Tang wanted to ask before the exam, but she didn’t ask. 

Until the day, she saw that the students had packed their things. She asked, “Where are you going for summer vacation?”

You Yu smiled and leaned close to her and whispered: “My mother has a sister who has opened a store. I will help during the summer vacation, and I can stay in the store. Don’t worry.”

She wanted to make a living on her own, and the headteacher seemed to take care of her too. 

Chi Tang felt relieved and said, “Okay, then you study hard and work hard during summer vacation.”

You Yu responded, with a hesitant look on her face, “What about you? Will you be fine at home during summer vacation? ” 

She knew that Chi Tang and her dad had a tense relationship. She had seen Chi Tang with a wound on her face three or four times. The worry in her heart was no less than Chi Tang.

Chi Tang didn’t care about it, so she stuffed her summer homework into her bag, “It’s okay.”

The teacher had said everything that the teacher should have said. It had been announced that the summer vacation had begun. The impatient students had left early, and the rest were mostly residential students, who had to go to the dormitory to clean up.

“I’ll go first. Bye. ” 

“See you next semester.”

“I’ll look for you to play on vacation!”

The students said goodbye.

Chi Tang didn’t pack her clothes and went home with her school bag on her back. As long as her dad was not at home, she was willing to go back to live at home. After all, there was a computer at home to use.

After playing games at home for two days, she went to school to get a report card. She was caught by Lao Fang as soon as she went, and he grabbed her to talk in the office.

“Chi Tang, your grades this time are very good. You are fourth in the class, and your total score for the whole year is 48. You are very smart. You are very good at Chinese and English, and you have made progress in mathematics. If you can improve your score in biopolitical history, you can make progress. ” After the praise, he changed his voice. “But, your problem is instability. After several months of exams, when the ranking is good, you will be 50th in the whole year. Once you relax, you will fall behind. It’s not good to be so unstable. “

Chi Tang: “…” 

She glanced at the transcript on the old square table, and as expected, she saw You Yu’s name occupying the first place.

Lao Fang said, “If you want to learn more about this, ask your deskmate. She has always been stable, works steadily, and has a stable mentality. The teacher hopes that you can help each other and learn from each other, okay? “

Chi Tang: “…” 

There was no mutual learning, her deskmate had been feeding her questions. The improvement in grades was due to the addition of You Yu notes. The classic question types of the final exam were all in the notes given to her, which happened to be in the notes.

Lao Fang didn’t know what she was thinking, so he raised his arm to encourage him, “Make persistent efforts and set new heights!”

Chi Tang was wondering why there were middle-aged men who nagged like class teachers and why there were also distasteful middle-aged men like her father. There were so many middle-aged men in this world.

“Teacher, I have brought all the printed papers.” You Yu’s arrival interrupted Lao Fang’s big chicken soup feeding technique, and Chi Tang was able to escape and be clean.

She went to stand beside You Yu and looked at the pile of test papers in her hand, with a bad feeling in her heart.

Chi Tang: “What is this?”

You Yu: “The teacher felt that there was too little homework during the summer vacation, so I was sent to print some papers.”

Chi Tang: “So much homework. Is the teacher a human?”

You Yu glanced at the headteacher in front and whispered, “We still have to write ten essays.”

Chi Tang’s mood was like the peasant’s grief and indignation when she heard that the governor wanted to increase taxes: “Can you do whatever you want as a teacher?” 

With that, Lao Fang turned his head and smiled at them, “Indeed, you can do whatever you want as a teacher.”

When he walked into the classroom, Chi Tang coughed and said, “I didn’t expect Lao Fang to play such a meme.”

You Yu’s face was confused: “What’s a meme?”

Chi Tang was speechless. Her deskmate was far behind in internet trends compared to the middle-aged and elderly.
