It has been nearly 8 years, but the scene of that day is still vivid in my memory.
When I was in the second year of junior high school, our school had a new Chinese teacher to teach us. Teacher Jiang is from Nanjing. She is about 30 years old. She looks above average, but she is quite temperamental and has a good figure. She likes to wear high-heeled boots. Teacher Jiang is from Nanjing. She doesn’t think highly of people in our small city, and always gives people a sense of superiority.”
I failed the Chinese test in the mid-term exam of that semester. It happened that the school was focusing on the construction of the style of study. Teacher Jiang wanted my parents to ask for a home visit. My parents were very happy.
On that Saturday, Teacher Jiang came to my house. My house is a small western-style building that goes up and down. I need to change my shoes when I enter the door. Teacher Jiang greeted my parents enthusiastically as soon as I entered the door. My mother asked me to take out a pair of new slippers for Teacher Jiang to put on. Teacher Jiang smiled and said, “I still need to change my shoes” and took the slippers from my hand, but when Teacher Jiang lowered her head, I seemed to see her face was very unhappy./
After changing the shoes, Mr. Jiang first talked with my parents for a while, and then went upstairs to help me with my Chinese homework. After less than 10 minutes of tutoring, my mother received a call saying that my aunt had been hospitalized in a car accident. My mother was shocked and immediately went upstairs to greet Mr. Jiang: “Mr. Jiang, something happened at our house. You…” Mr. Jiang immediately said: “It’s okay, if you have something to do, go to work. I will leave after tutoring Xiao Jiang’s homework.”
My mother looked at me and said: “Mr. Jiang, are you busy tonight? We want to trouble you. We are going out. We don’t feel relieved when our son is alone at home. If it is convenient for you, can you stay here with him for one night? We will come back!” Teacher Jiang agreed without hesitation at all, and went downstairs to send my parents away. It was Teacher Jiang who came up wearing her pair of brown high-heeled boots. I hesitated and said, “Teacher, this, um, shoes…”
Seeing me staring at her shoes, Teacher Jiang showed a smile on the corner of her mouth, and then pretended to be surprised and said: “Ah, I was too busy talking to your parents, and I forgot to change my shoes. What should I do? It’s so troublesome to take off these boots! Sigh, do you want me to go downstairs to change them?”
Teacher Jiang immediately smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll just listen to you. Besides, I just bought these boots, teacher, and the soles are very clean!” After speaking, he raised his left foot and put it on the back of the chair. The soles were directly in front of my eyes.
Seeing that I was silent, Teacher Jiang showed an inexplicable smile and said, “Hey, you still don’t believe me, so, the teacher makes a bet with you, the teacher wears shoes and steps on your bed sheet, if there are footprints left, the teacher will go down and change the shoes, if not, it means the soles of the teacher’s shoes are clean, then tonight the teacher will wear shoes and step on your bed casually at your house! ”
