The next day, the Little Guardian Classes for Grade 5 Class 1 and Class 2 officially began.
That day happened to be Wednesday, and Zhong Yi was on duty.
After work, Zhang Xue'er had originally wanted to stay and see how the first day went; after all, with the new Little Guardian Class starting, she was also a bit uneasy.
But Song Jie took her away with just a few words.
Song Jie said to Zhang Xue'er with a sincere expression: "Teacher Zhang, we shouldn't linger here. I really want to discuss the specific management of the Little Guardian Class with you, so we can promote the experience to other classes later. Look, nothing major happens on the first day anyway; let's hurry and discuss it, which will also benefit our future work." Zhang Xue'er hesitated for a moment, but was eventually persuaded by Song Jie.
When Zhong Yi arrived at the classroom, he scanned the room. Only eight children remained in Class One, only nine in Class Two, and Mi Tao, whom he had been paying attention to, was among them.
Mi Tao was from a rural area in another province; her parents worked in this city, her mother did housekeeping, and her father ran a small fruit shop. She had just transferred to this school this semester.
At this time, another main student in the drama, Xia Huanhuan, also stayed behind.
Xia Huanhuan's father, Xia Junshan, was an excellent architectural designer, and he was both a fellow townsman and a middle school alumnus of Zhong Yi.
Her mother, Nan Li, was a white-collar worker; the couple had always emphasized quality education for their child, so Xia Huanhuan was always cheerful, participated in many extracurricular activities, served as Monitor in the class, but had average grades.
Another main student in the drama, Yan Ziyou, did not stay behind.
Yan Ziyou's father, Yan Peng, was a second-generation rich kid who had always lived without worry about food or drink, only cared about playing, and didn't care about his child's studies.
Yan Ziyou's mother, Tian Yulan, however, was a pushy parent who had enrolled Yan Ziyou in various tutoring classes.
In addition, Tian Yulan's father had passed away early, and her mother remarried Nan Li's divorced father, forming a new family, so Nan Li and Tian Yulan were half-sisters.
Mi Tao's mother did housekeeping for both Tian Yulan's home and Nan Li's home; needless to say, the three families were truly a tangled mess.
However, these had nothing to do with Zhong Yi; Zhong Yi began his first Little Guardian Class career.
He walked to the blackboard, picked up chalk, and wrote two interesting math problems, then said to the students: "Students who are interested can try them; hand them in to me for grading after you finish. Students who are not interested can do other homework or read books, as long as they don't disturb other students."
After speaking, Zhong Yi took photos of the two problems and posted them in the Class Group.
At this time, Tian Yulan was having afternoon tea with a group of parents whose family conditions were quite good.
These parents were all aiming to get into "Hanlin Middle School"; for this purpose, they had also formed a parent exchange group called "Rocket Group."
This Hanlin Middle School was a very famous private middle school in the city, located right across from Fengfan Primary School.
Behind Fengfan Primary School there was actually also a Fengfan Middle School; all along, the top students graduating from Fengfan Primary School every year were snatched away by Hanlin Middle School, so Hanlin Middle School had always been one step ahead of Fengfan Middle School.
At this time, sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows into an exquisitely decorated café. Tian Yulan was sitting around a round glass table with a group of parents, chatting and laughing. Exquisite pastries and coffee with a rich aroma were placed on the table, and several bunches of bright, charming flowers were inserted in the vase beside it, adding a touch of warmth and elegance to the whole environment.
Tian Yulan's face was beaming with a confident smile; she slightly raised her chin and was sharing with other parents the advantages of the tutoring classes she had recently enrolled Zi You in.
"Let me tell you, the competition is so fierce now; we can't let our children fall behind. The tutoring class I enrolled Zi You in has very experienced teachers, and their teaching methods are especially good."
One parent nodded in agreement: "Yes, Sister Tian is right. We also need to hurry and find more good tutoring classes for our children; we can't let our children lose at the starting line."
Suddenly, Tian Yulan heard her mobile phone ring; she hurriedly put down the coffee cup in her hand, picked up her mobile phone, and checked it.
When she saw the problems Zhong Yi had posted in the group, the worry she had been holding was finally put down.
Previously, she indeed had some misgivings about this so-called Little Guardian Class; now, with the appearance of Zhong Yi's problems, all her misgivings vanished like smoke and clouds.
Tian Yulan held her mobile phone, slightly furrowed her brow, and said to the other parents: "I thought this Little Guardian Class run by the school was something special; now it seems it's just a place to look after children. Look at the problems this teacher gave out—interesting math problems; our Zi You could do them in third grade."
Among the other parents, there was one whose child was in the same class as Yan Ziyou; this parent furrowed his brow and continued: "You're smart; today I specifically let my child stay at school for an afternoon to see the situation, and even gave up the tutoring class; now it seems I wasted an afternoon for nothing."
Other parents also echoed in agreement: "Yes, how can the teachers at school compare to those at tutoring classes? Those who are truly capable all leave school to make money at tutoring classes; with that dead-end salary at school, only incapable teachers still treat it as a treasure."
A smug smile appeared at the corner of Tian Yulan's mouth; she said: "We can't let our children lose at the starting line; those tutoring classes are all carefully selected, and the teachers are more experienced. The school's Little Guardian Class is just a temporary childcare place; you can't expect too much."
One parent nodded and said: "That's right; we still need to focus on tutoring classes and various competitions; only then can our children have a chance to enter a good middle school."
Another parent also said: "Exactly; school education is sometimes too limited; we still have to rely on us parents to find better resources for our children."
Tian Yulan lifted her coffee, took a light sip, and her eyes were full of expectation for the future. She firmly believed that as long as she planned carefully, her child would definitely stand out in the fierce competition and enter an ideal middle school.
Meanwhile, on the street outside the café, pedestrians hurried by, and the sunlight was still brilliant, as if witnessing these parents' determination to strive for their children's future.
Time passed slowly day by day; soon, half a month had passed since the start of school. The school asked each teacher to organize a placement exam as a reference for subsequent teaching plans, and the first parents' meeting of the semester would be held after the exam.
Zhong Yi knew that in the original drama, it was precisely this placement exam that let Tian Yulan learn about Zhong Yi running a cram school outside; Zhong Yi did not apologize, and in the end, the situation spiraled out of control.
