Chapter 149 Shift Change

There is a Wutong Road in front of the Sixth Middle School.In midsummer, the branches and leaves spread out, casting a large amount of shade.Sometimes it feels like we have entered a season where everything is growing wildly. The cicadas chirp sharply and the green plants are luxuriant. It makes people feel that life is flourishing but at the same time timid of its wantonness.

This year's summer vacation lasted for two months. The leaders of No. 6 Middle School issued a notice in advance that all students would stay in school to make up for classes, so there was not much difference between them and no time off.But when I came back to class, everyone was assigned to a new class.

Yan Na looked at the class schedule and was about to burst into tears: "Me? Class nine?"

Her grades were in doubt even if she entered Class 8. She didn't know how to take the exam anyway, so she lost half of her position on the multiple-choice questions.

Jin Heng had already known this, so he was not surprised.He just briefly glanced at the new list of Class Nine: "Like you, I am also in Class Nine."

Yan Na was an ordinary person. She felt that Jin Heng was a good academic, but he was assigned to a gathering place for low-school students. It was really miserable in the world. She forgot her own situation for a moment, and couldn't help but comfort her: "Look at it, maybe in the futureHe was transferred to the rocket class."

Although she knew this was unrealistic.

It is well known to the whole school that the performance of Class 9 students is "stable". In the last class placement test, except for a few two outstanding students who were transferred, most of them have not moved. The "mainstays" are still stubbornly sticking to their posts.

Teacher Cen, the head teacher, didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.She led the five students who were newly assigned to Class 9 into the classroom. The originally noisy class immediately fell silent, which shows that she usually has a lot of power.

"Everyone, be quiet. There are five new students in our class today. Although they joined in the middle, we must get along well with each other."

Everyone in Class Nine was quite generous and clapped meaningfully whether they wanted to or not.But most of the eyes were on Jin Heng, wondering why the top grader was assigned to their class.

Teacher Cen used to be most afraid of a grain of rat droppings spoiling a pot of porridge, but now looking at the Class 9 people in the audience, they are afraid that a pot of rat droppings might spoil Jin Heng's grain of white rice.The new classmates were assigned positions one by one, but when it was Jin Heng's turn, he had a problem.

Sit in the back?It seems a bit far.

Sit in front?He is too tall.

middle?But there are not many people around who have good grades, so what if Jin Heng gets screwed up.

If Jin Heng hadn't missed the exam, he would have been a sure candidate for the Rockets class. But now that he was assigned to the underachieving class, it has to be said that it was fate.Teacher Cen remembered the instructions from the school leader. After thinking about it for a while, he finally looked at the fourth row.

"Cheng Doudou, you are the monitor, please take more care of the new classmates."

The boy who was named wore a pair of glasses thicker than the bottom of a wine bottle and had some small freckles on his face. He felt inexplicably laborious and awkward when he spoke: "Okay, I understand."

There is no one with good grades in Class 9, but if you have to choose the taller one among the short ones, it would be the squad leader Cheng Doudou.Although his grades are poor, he has a good attitude towards learning, but he is a bit stupid. He may not be able to understand something that a smart kid learns once and ten times.

It didn't matter who Jin Heng sat with. Hearing this, he moved the table and chair next to Cheng Doudou. Because he was unfamiliar with it, he didn't say anything. He packed up his books and started class.

After the summer vacation, they are almost senior high school students, and their study tasks are very intense.The course schedule is fully arranged, with Chinese and English in the morning, physics in the afternoon, classrooms and laboratories running in both directions, and physical education classes have basically become a decoration.

While Teacher Cen was giving English listening exercises on the podium, Cheng Doudou was writing furiously and taking notes while secretly observing Jin Heng——

He thought that the other person had good grades and must be serious in class.

But in fact, Jin Heng didn't even hold a pen in his hand. He sat motionless, as if he was wandering in the sky.When the listening session was over, he seemed to come to his senses slowly, and then wrote down the answers on the exercise paper.

Cheng Doudou took a look and compared it with his own. It seemed that it was different.

Teacher Cen estimated that time was almost up, so he wrote the answers on the blackboard. While explaining, he walked around below to see how the students answered the questions.Finally, he deliberately walked around to see Jin Heng, nodding in his mind, secretly satisfied.

Cheng Doudou got less than half of the multiple-choice questions wrong. Sometimes his mind couldn't turn around and it was easy to fall into traps.

Teacher Cen still wanted to help the students in his class. When he passed by Jin Heng, he said softly to him: "When you are doing the questions, you can communicate with Cheng Doudou and help him with the subjects where he is weak."

In fact, this is all just talk. Who would bother to help an insignificant person.Besides, Cheng Doudou and his parents spent who knows how much money on cram school, but they didn't see any results.

The people around him didn't take it seriously.

Jin Heng responded: "Yeah, okay."

He always seems to have a weak mood towards people he doesn't know well, and those with a more sensitive mind will find him perfunctory and unwilling, like a thin sharp needle piercing a person's self-esteem.

Cheng Doudou lowered his head, adjusted his glasses, and blocked his paper with his arm. He felt embarrassed, his face turned red, and he felt like he was being disliked.

Jin Heng didn't think much about it. Anyway, he had been helping Wen Yan and Yan Na practice questions recently, and Cheng Doudou didn't have to do much extra.He held a blue fountain pen with his slender fingertips and slowly turned it around a few times, just like the movement of a clock on the wall.

During recess, Zou Kai and others came over to greet him. Perhaps they were afraid that Jin Heng would be bullied and excluded, and said directly: "If you have any questions, you can come to me. Cheng Doudou is the monitor, and I am the deputy monitor."

Zou Kai is popular, he is popular in the class, and his charisma is more than a star and a half higher than Cheng Doudou, which cannot be determined by his position alone.When everyone in Class Nine saw this, they had an idea. Although they would not bully anyone, when a newcomer joins the class midway, alienation and exclusion are inevitable.

Among the five transfer students, Jin Heng's side was the busiest.

Cheng Doudou is different from others. He always practices problems during recess. This diligence makes the teacher feel sorry for him every time. He is willing to endure hardship, but he is not very enlightened.

Jin Heng glanced aside inadvertently and saw that he was writing a trigonometric function problem. He tapped the tip of his pen on the table twice and suddenly said: "You are writing too complicated."

Cheng Doudou subconsciously raised his head, looked around, and slowly realized that Jin Heng was talking about him. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react.

Jin Heng tore off a piece of scratch paper and wrote two general formulas and a rough solution process on it with a pen: "The question gives a hidden condition, a large set of small ones, and the equation information can be obtained by disassembling it into two parts.. In this way, not only can the answer to the first question be calculated, but the conditions obtained in the process can also be directly applied to the second question."

Jin Heng's thinking in solving the questions was clear and the process was simple and clear.But Cheng Doudou always kept in mind the teacher's instructions to write down the steps in solving problems in detail, so that even if he didn't know the answer, he could still get some points for the process, and unknowingly he hit a dead end.

He took a look at Jin Heng's steps, and it turned out to be much simpler than his own. He blushed for no reason, raised his hand to hammer his head, and whispered awkwardly and laboriously: "Thank you..."

The other transferred students seemed to dislike Class 9. He thought Jin Heng was also very arrogant, but it seemed to be just his illusion.

Jin Heng hummed and tidied up the scattered table: "The questions will not give you useless information. Try to use all the conditions. Sometimes the answer to the first question is the key to solving the second question..”

He was too familiar with some teachers' question-setting routines.

Cheng Doudou nodded, seeming to understand but not understanding, and continued writing the second question.He followed what Jin Heng said and tried to break down the answer to the first question into details. Finally, he found that the two questions were indeed related. He couldn't help scratching his head and feeling a little excited.

After about ten minutes, Cheng Doudou looked at Jin Heng hesitantly, pointed to a question on the test paper, and after holding it in for a long time, he boldly said: "Jin Heng... can you teach me this question..."

He had always been called stupid since he was a child, and he was probably afraid that Jin Heng would be annoyed if he asked too many questions, so he looked a little uneasy.

Jin Heng took a look at the question and did not tell him the answer directly this time. Instead, he circled the information points with a pen to guide him to think: "First, list the known conditions and classify them. If the forward deduction does not work, then go backwards."

Cheng Doudou thought slowly, thinking about a short question for a long time, but Jin Heng didn't seem to be impatient at all, and occasionally reminded him in a subtle way.It took more than twenty minutes to finally solve this moderately difficult question.

Several students sitting around couldn't help but look back at Jin Heng with surprise on their faces.After all, sometimes the teacher would be so stupid that Cheng Doudou would slap the table and lose his temper. Jin Heng was not only calm throughout the whole process, but also taught people a lesson. It has to be said to be a miracle.

The students in Class 9 spend a lot of money and occasionally order takeout during class. A few boys take advantage of the teacher's absence and go to the school gate to get it in groups, which is no different from wholesale.

Jin Heng has passed the age of being greedy. Moreover, he currently has no income and is not suitable for excessive consumption.So I just sorted out the exercise booklet for Wen Yan in my free time, quietly and silently.

"Have a drink."

Someone put a glass of passion fruit juice on his table. Jin Heng didn't see it clearly. When he looked up, he saw Zou Kai and several other boys smilingly distributing snacks. They were all snacks ordered from a nearby dessert shop.

"..."

Jin Heng thought that everyone had one, but when he looked around, he saw that the desks of several students who had turned around with him were empty.

Pang Yifan was also assigned to class nine. He didn't dare to mess with Jin Heng, but that didn't mean he didn't dare to mess with others.Seeing this, he was embarrassed and annoyed. Finally, he sat down and sneered with a pale face: "What's so great, a group of well-connected people."

When students from Class 9 heard this, they all looked at him, and then deliberately fanned themselves in front of their faces with their hands: "Tsk, why is there such a sour smell? Who ate the lemon?"

There was laughter.

Jin Heng observed for a while and finally discovered that the person buying snacks was Zou Kai, and the person ordering drinks was a boy sitting behind him.After all, he was unfamiliar, so as not to owe a favor, he thought for a moment and turned around and said, "Thank you."

The boy was stunned for a moment before he realized what Jin Heng was saying. He waved his hand carelessly: "What a big deal. You taught Cheng Doudou, a stupid person, it shows that you are capable. I admire the capable people the most.”

They are from a wealthy family, but they look down upon those who fawn over them.Jin Heng didn't dislike Class 9 like others, and he was quite patient with Cheng Doudou. He showed some character from the side, and buying him a drink was not a big deal.

Cheng Doudou stuttered when he was nervous. Hearing this, he said, "Yes... yes, just drink it. It'll be fine."

Jin Heng said nothing and turned around.

Sometimes the good intentions around you are more overwhelming than the bad intentions.

The first day of extra classes during the summer vacation was uneventful, and the division of classes did not cause any conflicts.After school, Jin Heng saw Wen Yan as soon as he walked out of the school gate.The other party was obviously waiting for him, so he threw an ice cream over, holding it in his hand through the plastic wrapper, and it felt cool.

Jin Heng saw that Wen Yan was not wearing school uniform and asked, "You didn't make up any extra classes?"

Chongming also has to make up classes, but Wen Yan doesn't have to go to school, let alone just make up classes.He touched the tip of his nose guiltily, and then said vaguely: "I'm too lazy to go. By the way, how are you divided into classes? No one will bully you, right?"

Jin Heng tore open the ice cream bag and took a bite: "No one bullies me."

The chocolate melts on the tip of the tongue and tastes mellow and cool.This brand of ice cream was a bit expensive. Jin Heng took a look at it and saw that Wen Yan had empty hands. When no one was paying attention on the roadside, he handed it to his mouth: "Take a bite."

Wen Yan tilted his head: "I've eaten."

Jin Heng had no choice but to retract his hand, but he didn't know if it was an illusion. When he retracted his gaze, he inadvertently saw a figure flashing past the wall, which seemed familiar.

He took a bite of the ice cream thoughtfully and probably had an idea in his mind.

When Wen Yan saw that he was not moving, he asked aloud: "What's wrong? Why are you so dazed?"

Jin Heng smiled in an unpredictable way: "Nothing, I saw an acquaintance. Let's go back early. I've compiled some exercises for you."

Wen Yan blew the bangs on his forehead and said reluctantly, "Oh."

Wen Yan is a smart kid, but not in terms of learning.He didn't listen to what the teacher was saying, and he had forgotten everything he had learned before. It was equivalent to laying the foundation from scratch, and the amount of work was huge.

Jin Heng spent more than half a month reading all the books in Wen Yan's school.In the vocational school college entrance examination, in addition to practical skills, only Chinese and English were tested, and it is still too late to make up for it now.

"You listen once, and the second time I will pause in the middle of each question and you answer based on your listening."

Jin Heng downloaded a basic English listening set on the Internet on his mobile phone, and sat at the desk with Wen Yan, listening and doing questions at the same time.However, when the latter listened to the English conversation played on his mobile phone, he just felt that Jili Guala was like a bible.

Wen Yan bit the cap of his pen, frowned, and began to answer.

Jin Heng stared at the tip of his pen, and finally couldn't help but paused his listening: "Do you understand?"

Wen Yan raised his eyelids: "Listen...I understand."

Jin Heng put his hand on his shoulder slightly and reminded in a low voice: "Listening is only on the third question, but you have already completed the sixth question."

Wen Yan: "..."

Damn it.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Jin Heng smelled a faint smell of gasoline between Wen Yan's collar, but didn't pay much attention to it.Kissed his ear and translated the sentences for him word for word.

For example, in the most basic choice question and answer, the protagonist of the hearing went to a restaurant with friends and encountered a problem in ordering a drink: I want to drink orange juice, but it is too sour for me, or Coke, but it makes people fat., forget it, let’s change it to a glass of lemonade, but I still like to drink Coke the most...

A few lines of dialogue go back and forth, making people dizzy.

Wen Yan cursed secretly: "Drink the damn dichlorvos."
