The programmer and his woman

"I will arrange ten classes for you first. When you are familiar with it, we can switch to other classes. Take your time. I believe you can do well." Teacher Liu encouraged me with a smile.

At this time, a brisk and familiar voice sounded in my ears: "Hey, Teacher Xiao Wang, are you going to start your lecture?" I looked up and saw that it was Sun Lingling, the consultant who was so enthusiastic when she first came. She was wearing a dark blue denim overalls today, which made her look particularly pure and lovely.

I laughed and said jokingly, "Hey, isn't this Principal Sun? How come you have time to come and inspect my work?"

Sun Lingling seemed a little confused by my sudden address of "Principal Sun". She blinked and asked in confusion, "Principal Sun? What Principal Sun? Are you calling me?"

I nodded and explained with a smile: "Yes, didn't you say that if I were a teacher, you would be the principal? Now that I see you, of course I have to call you Principal Sun."

Sun Lingling finally understood. She waved her hands and said helplessly, "Oh, please don't bear a grudge against me. Isn't it enough for me to apologize to you?"

I teased her deliberately: "Apologize? Is it that simple?"

Sun Lingling seemed a little anxious. She bit her lip and seemed to have made a great decision: "What else do you want? I don't apologize to others easily. How about this, I have a heavy bleeding today, so I will treat you to lunch, okay?"

I nodded with satisfaction: "Well, that's pretty good."

Then, Sun Lingling seemed to be interested in my age. She asked curiously, "Hey, let me ask you, how old are you this year? When you first came, I really thought you were a student. You look younger than these students."

I smiled and asked, "How old are you?"

Sun Lingling seemed a little persistent: "You speak first, I asked you first."

I shook my head helplessly and answered truthfully: "Okay, I'm nineteen, what about you?"

Sun Lingling smiled proudly: "We are the same age, what month were you born?"

I looked at her warily: "What are you doing?"

She urged, "Hurry up and tell me."

I replied, “August.”

When Sun Lingling heard this, she laughed even more happily: "Haha, I'm older than you, call me sister, hurry up, call me sister."

I smiled helplessly and called out, "Sister Lingling."

Sun Lingling nodded with satisfaction and said with a proud smile: "Haha, good brother, that's it, everyone, I have accepted a new brother today. No one is allowed to bully my brother in the future, understand?" After that, she turned around and shouted to Xiao Zhang who was busy next to her: "Xiao Zhang, did you hear me?"

Xiao Zhang looked up blankly, looked at Sun Lingling and asked, "Ah? Sister, are you talking to me?"

Sun Lingling nodded and pretended to be angry and said, "Yeah, didn't you see that no one paid attention to me? Why didn't you respond quickly? You made me lose face. Be careful next time. If you make me lose face like this again, I'll beat you up."

"Ah? Sister, what do you mean? I don't understand." Xiao Zhang was confused.

Sun Lingling looked at Xiao Zhang with a somewhat amused look, then turned to me, "Teacher Xiao Wang, my brother is a little slow. Hey, Teacher Xiao Wang, did you come here to teach right after graduation?" Sun Lingling asked me curiously.

I nodded and answered briefly, "Well, yes." I was too lazy to explain too much to her, so I just agreed.

"Okay, that's pretty impressive. Do you know how old the teachers here are? I'm telling you, it's not my fault that I misunderstood you. I've never seen a teacher as young as you since I started working here." She continued, "Hey, tell me how you became a teacher here."

I smiled and said, "Teacher Li introduced me here."

"Ah! What is the relationship between you two?" she asked with a gossipy look on her face.

I shook my head helplessly and said, "Sister Lingling, I have to go to class. Let's talk next time." I couldn't stand her gossip anymore, so I quickly found an excuse to leave.

After listening to Teacher Zhang’s class, as I walked out of the classroom, I saw Sun Lingling running towards me.

"Here, it's for you." She handed me something.

"What?" I asked curiously.

"Lunch! Didn't we agree that I would treat you to lunch?" she explained.

"Ah! This is it for lunch?" I looked at the potato-filled pancake in her hand, a little surprised.

"Yes, potato-stuffed pancakes are my favorite. Here, take it and eat it. Then the misunderstanding between us will be resolved." She stuffed it into my hand without saying a word.

I watched her back as she left, smiled, and thought to myself, "This girl is really interesting." I took a bite of the potato pancake and found it tasted pretty good, so I ate it while walking towards the office.

Just after finishing the meal, the head teacher came in hurriedly, holding a textbook in his hand and said, "Teacher Wang, this is the textbook for Office software. We will teach it tomorrow morning. You can take a look at it first. You don't need to prepare for the class. You can just teach it directly."

I took the textbook and looked at it, and asked in confusion: "Teacher Liu, why are we still teaching this kind of class?"

Teacher Liu explained: "This is a move to respond to the call of the superiors and to establish the school's image. As you know, there is a people-friendly training project to help unemployed people find reemployment, and the superiors have assigned it to our school. Although we are a research institute, the school is also run by the research institute. We must complete the tasks assigned by the superiors."

I nodded and asked, "Is this a government agency?"

"Yes, it's the municipal research institute, and the school is also affiliated with the institute." Teacher Liu replied.

I then asked: "I see that teachers have courseware in class, where is this courseware?"

Teacher Liu explained: "Our courses all have courseware, but this course was arranged temporarily, so there is no special courseware. You can just use your experience in using the software to teach. This book is given to those who come to learn, and you can arrange the course yourself according to the content in the book. Anyway, there are ten classes in total, and you don't have to teach all of them. Just teach some content that will help them find a job again."

The next day, the head teacher arranged a multimedia computer room for me. I am quite grateful for this kind of classroom because it is very friendly to new teachers. If I were arranged in an ordinary classroom and asked to stand and lecture to the people below, I might be more nervous. But now, I can sit in front of the computer and operate while I lecture, which makes me feel much more relaxed.

However, when I opened the door and saw a sea of ​​people, I couldn't control my fear. The bell rang and I had to bite the bullet and start teaching.

I looked at the audience, all of them were uncles and aunts over 50 years old, more than half of them had white hair, and those who didn't have white hair probably dyed it. I realized that teaching such old people to learn computer knowledge is indeed a challenge. Even if I teach students younger than me, I would be nervous when seeing so many people. The first class made me feel dizzy. After class, I didn't know what I said, nor how much the students understood.

Teacher Liu, our homeroom teacher, pushed the door open and asked me with concern, "Teacher Wang, how do you feel about your first lecture?"

I scratched my head and replied somewhat awkwardly, “My mind is a little confused, but everything else is fine.”

Teacher Liu smiled and nodded, then reminded me: "Teacher Wang, why didn't you even write on the blackboard in this class?"

"Ah? I still have to write on the blackboard?" I was a little surprised.

Teacher Liu explained: "Yes, we teachers all write on the blackboard during class, and we will add this to the next class. You can also use the projector so that students can see the teaching content more clearly."

"Okay, Teacher Liu." I agreed.

In the second class, I followed Teacher Liu's suggestion and added blackboard writing. But my nervousness still made my hand holding the chalk tremble constantly, and I couldn't even write a complete word.

At this time, the old lady in the audience spoke up: "Don't be afraid, kid. It looks like you are giving your first lecture. I saw that just now. Don't be afraid. It seems that the neighborhood committee has arranged for us to come here for free. Just speak freely. No one will blame you if you don't do well."

The aunt at the back also echoed, "That's good of you. Don't be afraid, young man. You're younger than my son. I'm particularly optimistic about you. Just speak boldly." Listening to the encouragement from everyone in the audience, I suddenly felt relieved of a lot of pressure. I spoke better and better and my mind gradually became clearer.

After these few days of teaching, I feel that I have changed every day. From the stuttering on the first day to the fluent speech now, although I am still not at ease, the nervousness of the first day of teaching has disappeared.

At this time, my homeroom teacher, Mr. Liu, also found me and said, "Mr. Wang, our five-day course is over. I listen to you from behind the door every day. You have made great progress in the past few days. I think after a few more classes, you can officially start teaching."

"Before starting the game course, Teacher Qi said that he would give you some basic programming courses for you to practice. I will notify you in advance then." Teacher Liu added.

After getting the textbook and courseware for the Basic Programming course, I realized that even the basic course needs to be taken seriously. I began to prepare lessons carefully and studied the textbooks and courseware in depth. In the process of preparing lessons, I found that the content I had learned by myself before was indeed too rough and I had not paid attention to many details. Some of the content that I had only vaguely understood before gradually became clearer after careful study.

Although some knowledge is still difficult to understand at once, I know that I must work hard to understand it now. I found that even if it is the basic content of programming, as long as I study it carefully, I can find many concepts that I had previously misunderstood. This made me deeply realize the importance of a good foundation for learning.

Looking back now, I realize that the most important courses are often these seemingly simple but actually in-depth basic courses. They lay a solid foundation for us, allowing us to master knowledge more smoothly and deeply in subsequent studies. Therefore, I decided to continue to study these basic courses in depth in the following time, and strive to improve my programming ability and understanding level.

Just as I was thinking about my worries, I heard Teacher Gao's voice echoing in the corridor: "Everyone come out and gather together. Today the staff of the clothing factory will come to measure everyone. Men, please go to this room, and women, please go to another room. Please line up and I will measure you one by one."

Colleagues came out of their offices or classrooms, whispering to each other: "What's going on? What's going on?" "I heard they want to order custom work clothes. What kind of clothes? Maybe a suit, but I'm not sure."

With this full gathering, I finally had the opportunity to look at all my colleagues in the school. It turned out that in addition to the teachers I knew before, there were many young and beautiful girls hiding in other rooms, probably also counselors. As I thought about this, my eyes unconsciously looked around.

At this time, Sun Lingling shouted loudly: "Xiao Zhang, hurry up, stop fiddling with your broken thing, you are the only one missing, come and line up!"

Xiao Zhang quickly put away the work at hand and replied, "Oh, okay."

Xiao Zhang quickly walked behind Sun Lingling.

Sun Lingling looked at Xiao Zhang with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Xiao Zhang, where are you standing?"

Xiao Zhang said with a puzzled look on his face: "Sister Sun, I'm queuing behind you. Didn't you tell me to hurry up and get in line?"

Sun Lingling glared at him and said, "Are you in the women's team? Are we making skirts for you to wear?"

Xiao Zhang scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Ah~! There are still men's and women's teams?"

"Then where should I stand?" Xiao Zhang asked in confusion.

Sun Lingling pointed to another room and said unhappily, "Over there, stand with the men's team, you are such an idiot."

Xiao Zhang finally understood, walked up to me, and said with a smile: "Hey, Teacher Wang, I'll be behind you."

I smiled and nodded: "Okay, no problem."

At this time, a teacher nearby joked: "Xiao Zhang, don't be so honest, otherwise she will always bully you."

Xiao Zhang waved his hands and said, "I just don't want to argue with her."

Finally it was my turn. I took off my coat and stood in front of the measuring machine, listening to Xiao Zhang exclaiming, "Oh, Teacher Wang, you are amazing. How did you develop such a muscular body?"

I smiled and responded: "Do you want to practice? I know a fitness coach. I can take you to meet him and let him teach you fitness."

Xiao Zhang shook his head and said, "Forget it. I can't practice. I'm just skin and bones, without any flesh. I can't practice. I won't waste my energy."

Hearing Xiao Zhang say this reminded me of the thin boy in the gym, and I couldn't help but laugh.

After the staff at the clothing factory carefully measured my size, they praised me, "Well, young man, you have a good figure. The clothes I tailor-make for you will definitely look good on you."

I smiled and thanked him: "Thank you. When can we make this dress?"

The staff member replied: "At the earliest, it will take about two weeks."

I nodded to show my satisfaction. As the tailoring was over, my colleagues returned to their respective positions and continued their work.
