Chapter 241: Who Says Yuan Xiu Doesn't Understand Poetry?
"I've become the sports and arts committee member."
After school, Yuan Xiu told Jiang Zhou this... which should be considered good news.
Jiang Zhou raised an eyebrow. "Your class changed class officers midway through the semester?"
"Yes, anyway, they were going to re-select people, and someone recommended me." Yuan Xiu paused, then said mysteriously, "You'll never guess who recommended me!"
Seeing her expression, Jiang Zhou began to analyze, "It's definitely not someone you're close to..."
Yuan Xiu: "!"
"...It's not one of your class officers, is it?"
Yuan Xiu blinked; don't try to guess what was going on in her expression!
Jiang Zhou laughed and said, "It seems it really isn't. Then it can't be your class's homeroom teacher either. Let me think... it's probably that student in front of you who was replaced as the class's arts and sports representative."
Yuan Xiu: "Yes, it's him."
"What's the reward if I guessed right?" Jiang Zhou asked, leaning closer.
Yuan Xiu blushed. "I'm just praising your intelligence! What other reward do you want?"
She quickly changed the subject: "I think he recommended me just to see me fail. I didn't want to agree at first, since being the arts and sports committee member would definitely mean sacrificing some of my personal time. But then I thought, I'll fight for my principles! I can't keep hiding behind. I'm going to do a good job as the arts and sports committee member and show him!"
Jiang Zhou watched her change the subject and could only glance at her helplessly. "Go ahead and hide. You can hide during the day, but can you hide at night?"
He replied seriously, "You mean this Ding... his surname is Ding? Tell me about his situation, and I'll analyze it for you."
Yuan Xiu then started talking to him about this Ding Xuewen.
After listening, Jiang Zhou commented: "You're absolutely right. This person is indeed watching the show with a schadenfreude mentality. Although you haven't openly offended him, he's been at a disadvantage in the several conflicts since the start of the semester, which is equivalent to offending him."
"This person is petty and narrow-minded. He has a strong sense of self-esteem but can't stand losing. He can't stand others being better than him. He's not very shrewd, but he has a lot of insidious thoughts. He's always waiting to see others make fools of themselves. He has the typical mentality of a petty person."
Yuan Xiu nodded, agreeing with Jiang Zhou's analysis of Ding Xuewen.
"The woman I told you about last time is his girlfriend."
"That woman is at most mentally challenged, but Ding Xuewen is much 'better' than her."
Jiang Zhou warned, "Be careful he doesn't try to trip you up."
Yuan Xiu nodded.
……
After having lunch in the cafeteria, Yuan Xiu returned to the classroom, took the chalk she had received from Teacher Zhou, grabbed her notebook, and walked to the back.
Zheng Yuemei had originally planned to grab her things and head back to her dorm for a nap, but seeing Yuan Xiu with chalk in one hand and a notebook in the other, seemingly unsure of what to do, she quickly asked, "Yuan Xiu, where are you going?"
Yuan Xiu pointed to the blackboard at the back of the classroom.
The blackboard was covered with a blackboard bulletin written by Ding Xuewen, which also included two short poems and some excerpts from newspapers.
Yuan Xiu picked up the blackboard eraser next to her and wiped the contents of the blackboard clean!
Zheng Yuemei asked Liu Yazhi, "Does she want to rewrite the blackboard bulletin board?"
Liu Yazhi: "That's obviously true."
"Let's go." Zheng Yuemei stood up. "How long is she going to finish writing all by herself? Let's go help her."
"Okay." Liu Yazhi then decided not to go back to her dormitory.
"Drawing?" Zheng Yuemei stared at the little figures in the notebook. "I can't! Did you draw all of these? You can actually draw!"
Yuan Xiu laughed and said, "I wouldn't call myself a painter, I just used to draw flower patterns a lot, so I'm used to it. If you can't, then you can help me write."
Liu Yazhi couldn't draw either, so the task of drawing was left to Yuan Xiu. The three of them each stood in a spot, picked up chalk, and started drawing.
The three of them spent their entire lunch break transforming the blackboard bulletin board, which originally only contained text, into a vibrant and colorful display.
There were many students quietly studying in the classroom. When Yuan Xiu and her friends first started drawing, everyone just glanced at them and turned away, not paying much attention, until the students who went back to the dormitory came in...
"Wow! Yuan Xiu, did you just draw this?"
"The drawings on this are quite nice! Is this... eye exercises? They've even drawn diagrams to mark the acupoints around the eyes."
"...This is the soup recipe song."
The blackboard was divided into five sections. The first section, at the top, read: "Study the classics of traditional Chinese medicine diligently and serve the people."
The second section is the learning section, which contains several herbal formula songs and excerpts from the "Treatise on Cold Damage" and the "Huangdi Neijing".
It also contained a learning slogan: "Study the 'Typhoid Fever' and 'Inner Canon' thoroughly, and master the skills of treating diseases."
Memorize the prescriptions, and master the acupoints.
Theory should be integrated with practice, and medical skills should serve the people.
The third section is the sports and cultural training section.
Eye exercises with illustrations and text.
It reads: Persist in doing eye exercises to protect your eyesight, see the pulse clearly, and identify medicinal herbs.
The fourth section is on ideology and work style, which contains some common content.
The last one is a class message:
Liu Fang read aloud: "May all students: study diligently and practice hard to improve their medical skills, maintain good physical and mental health and conduct, unite and love each other to make progress together, and keep serving the people in mind."
After reading it aloud, she smiled and said, "Who said Yuan Xiu doesn't understand poetry? Isn't this poem quite good?"
Yuan Xiu quickly waved her hand: "This is at most a doggerel."
Because of Ding Xuewen, everyone in the class knew that she didn't understand poetry.
Seeing that most of the students had arrived, Yuan Xiu brought up the matter of doing eye exercises for five minutes every day.
"Everyone is holding textbooks all day long, looking at them morning and night. Over time, this will definitely damage your eyesight. Eye exercises cannot be stopped. Some students know them, and some don't. So I drew some promotional pictures. You can look at them and learn, and also recognize the acupoints around your eyes. Let's discuss and agree on a time to make it a daily must-do."
As soon as Yuan Xiu spoke, everyone agreed, "I agree!"
"We agree. This is a good thing for everyone. As for the herbal formulas and excerpts from medical books, I suggest we change them every week so we can see them every time we come and go. I refuse to believe that anyone still can't memorize them after all this!"
"That's right, memorizing it will deepen your impression, and you won't be able to forget it even if you want to!"
"And this 'eye exercise' pattern, once everyone knows it, can be changed into a herbal illustration."
Yuan Xiu nodded: "That's what I was thinking too. Anyone who has a good painting can recommend themselves. They can even draw a meridian chart."
Xia Yang raised his hand: "You can give me the meridian chart..."
