Chapter 28 Gangs commit crimes
Teacher Sun walked into the class with a gloomy face. When he saw Wang Changshou, he said in a stern tone: "Wang Changshou, come out!"
Wang Changshou shrunk his neck in fear, then stood up honestly and walked out.
This teacher named Sun is a regular teacher in charge of this academic level, and can be regarded as the grade director and class teacher.
In fact, the class teacher learned from the Soviet Union's educational experience, so the position of class teacher was not yet available during the Republic of China.
According to the "Journal of the School" published in 1904 in the Qing Dynasty, the school has one regular teacher at each level, "teaching all subjects" and "teaching students' homework and taking charge of their positions". In layman's terms, it is a teaching system in which a teacher holds all subjects or major subjects at a level, which is called the academic-level responsibility system.
This system lasted until 1938. After that, the Republic of China adopted the tutor system, with a dedicated person responsible for the organization and education of a class. This teacher was called a tutor. A tutor can be responsible for one class or multiple classes.
After all, a few people were able to go to school in the 1920s. Some schools were small in size, with one class at the same time. Fudan High School was famous and had a high teaching level. It was a first-class private middle school in Shanghai at that time. There were hundreds of people in each grade, so it naturally had to be divided into multiple classes to teach. Since there was no position as a class teacher, this teacher named Sun also worked as a class teacher part-time while serving as the age director.
Teacher Sun has studied in a private school and Western learning. Although he has no background in studying abroad, he is very good in terms of morality and knowledge, and can be regarded as a model for being a role model.
A poor student like Wang Changshou was born to be afraid of his teachers. When Teacher Sun called him, he suddenly became a coward.
Teacher Sun asked, "Do you know the student who outperformed the Japanese yesterday?"
"Sir, I don't know you." Wang Changshou shook his head quickly.
"Don't know each other? Then why did you meet him this morning?" Teacher Sun snorted coldly.
Wang Changshou suddenly realized that the incident that caused Chen Qiang to meet today should have been known by Teacher Sun. Chen Qiang's identity as a newspaper boy has been exposed, and this matter cannot be hidden.
So Wang Changshou had to say: "Sir, this is actually the case. There is one less person in our class participating in tug-of-war, so I found a newspaper boy to count the number. That's all, the matter of his competition with the Japanese has nothing to do with me!"
"He is such a newspaper boy? Newspaper boy can run so fast." Teacher Sun asked with a frown.
Wang Changshou nodded seriously: "Really, he is really a newspaper boy. Sir, you think, this newspaper boy sells newspapers all day long, and he only needs to make a living by running around every day. If he can't run fast, he may not even make money before the meal."
Wang Changshou directly repeated Chen Qiang's original words.
"Is that true?" Teacher Sun is not as easy to fool as Wang Changshou. Masao Yamazaki is definitely the best among his peers in Japan. If any newspaper boy can beat Masao Yamazaki, then the Chinese would not be considered the "sick man from East Asia".
"How did you know that newspaper boy?" Teacher Sun continued.
"I knew you bought a newspaper." Wang Changshou replied subconsciously.
"Buy newspapers? Do you still read newspapers? You are quite concerned about national affairs!" Teacher Sun curled his lips disdainfully.
Wang Changshou is a poor student and is not interested in reading textbooks on weekdays. In Teacher Sun's opinion, how could such a student go to read newspapers? If it is not weird, that would be strange!
Wang Changshou smiled awkwardly, and he didn't know how to answer.
"Go and bring the newspaper you bought!" Teacher Sun snorted coldly.
Wang Changshou was shocked. Those were all romantic tabloids. If the teacher knew that he was reading such a newspaper, wouldn’t he be in trouble?
So Wang Changshou subconsciously resisted and said, "Sir, that's just some ordinary newspapers, there's nothing to read."
Explanation is equivalent to concealment. Wang Changshou said this to make it more obvious, which is equivalent to telling Teacher Sun that this newspaper is strange.
"I'll go get it with you!" Teacher Sun pulled Wang Changshou into the classroom and came to Wang Changshou's desk.
Wang Changshou reluctantly reached into his schoolbag, then pulled out a newspaper, and handed it to Teacher Sun with a guilty look on his face.
Teacher Sun took the newspaper, looked down and immediately said "Huh".
"Morning Post Poetry Magazine!"
Teacher Sun showed a ghostly expression on his face. A poor student actually reads such articles and newspapers, not prose or novels, but poetry magazines!
Poetry magazines, this thing is much harder to read than prose or novels, and you can’t understand it at all with your general cultural level.
Let’s take a look at the above content. The writers include famous poets such as Xu Zhimo and Wen Yiduo.
"How is it possible? I don't believe it if I beat you to death! Wang Changshou, a poor student who doesn't even read textbooks on weekdays, can actually read Xu Zhimo's poems? It's funny! Can he understand? If he is really interested in literature, how could his grades be so bad?" Teacher Sun looked at Wang Changshou with an incredible look on his face.
Wang Changshou let out a sigh of relief. This "Morning Post Poetry Magazine" was included in the outermost part of the Fengyue tabloid. In order to protect those Fengyue tabloids, the outermost part of the newspaper that Wang Changshou reached out and took out happened to be this "Morning Post Poetry Magazine" that was covered.
At this time, Wang Changshou couldn't help but be grateful to Chen Qiang, thanks to his thoughts on this good way to hide the truth.
"You can still read such publications? You can still read poetry?" Teacher Sun couldn't help asking.
"I also want to learn more and become a pillar of the country in the future." Wang Changshou said.
Teacher Sun was still full of doubts. He looked down at the contents in the newspaper and carefully read one of Xu Zhimo's poems.
"It's really Mr. Xu Zhimo's poem, it's not right. I've read this poem. This is Mr. Xu Zhimo's poem a few years ago, right? Why do newspapers now still display Mr. Xu's poems?" Teacher Sun looked at the date of the newspaper and found that this was a 1926 newspaper.
"Who would buy newspapers three years ago to read? Which newspaper sells newspapers would sell newspapers three years ago! "Zuo Zhuan" says: The sky is against time and the earth is against things and monsters, and the people are against morality and chaos, and chaos will cause monsters. Wang Changshou is not easy to study on weekdays, but he would read a newspaper published three years ago. If this matter is abnormal, it will be a monster!"
Teacher Sun is still very educated, and you can write a paragraph of "Zuo Zhuan" with your mouth
Teacher Sun realized something was wrong, so he directly reached into Wang Changshou's schoolbag and pulled out several newspapers.
These are serious tabloids, fresh and hot, and they are very exciting after reading them.
At this moment, Wang Changshou's face turned pale in an instant, and he was not beautiful at all.
The next second, Teacher Sun saw the contents of the newspaper, his face suddenly turned red, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.
Obviously, Teacher Sun's blood pressure rose by 40 or 50 instantly. Fortunately, he did not have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, otherwise he would have to be out of breath.
"This! This! You actually see such dirty things! You bring this kind of thing to school! It's a shameful thing! You! You!"
Teacher Sun was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"It's over, it's over, I'm over!" Wang Changshou was really scared.
...
After several minutes, Teacher Sun's emotions gradually stabilized. He looked at Wang Changshou with a heartbroken look and asked sternly: "Speak, where did these filthy things come from!"
"I bought it." Wang Changshou replied honestly. At this time, he just wanted to confess to be lenient so that the punishment would be lighter.
"Where did you buy it?" Teacher Sun continued.
"I bought it from the newspaper boy." Wang Changshou continued to answer.
"Is that newspaper boy?" Teacher Sun asked again.
Wang Changshou nodded.
"What he sells is like this?" Teacher Sun asked again.
Wang Changshou nodded again.
Teacher Sun suddenly felt like he ran out happily but stepped on the shit.
In Teacher Sun's original thinking, the newspaper boy defeated the Japanese, so he should be a national hero. It was like Chen Zhen kicking the sign of the sick man in East Asia in half with one kick. How excited and imposing!
However, the truth is that this newspaper boy is selling romantic tabloids! He sells the kind of thing that is insulting in Teacher Sun's eyes.
This psychological gap is really too big. The tall image Chen Qiang built in Teacher Sun's mind collapsed instantly.
Then Teacher Sun suddenly thought that the newspaper boys had gone to the school gate to sell newspapers. Could other students have bought this romantic tabloid?
"Some people have bought this dirty thing too?" Teacher Sun asked sternly.
No one answered, or no one came out to die!
Teacher Sun had long thought of this situation. He glanced at the students with a stern look, and finally his eyes remained on one of the classmates.
This person is also a poor student, and he is often naughty on weekdays. He has long been on Teacher Sun's blacklist and is the focus of Teacher Sun. Now that this happens, Teacher Sun will of course first think about whether this naughty poor student is involved.
"You said!" Teacher Sun pointed to the poor student.
"I didn't buy it!" The poor student looked innocent, but Teacher Sun's expression obviously didn't believe it.
"Sir, I really didn't buy it!" The poor student was so aggrieved. In order to clear his suspicion, he had to speak: "I saw Zhuang Yonggang buy newspapers from that newspaper boy before."
"Zhuang Yonggang?" The sharp look in Teacher Sun's eyes flashed.
Zhuang Yonggang, who was betrayed by a poor student, was so scared that he was trembling. At this time, he didn't care much. In the spirit of a dead fellow Taoist, Zhuang Yonggang spoke, "Sir, Liu Jian has also bought it, and Hu Zhiwen has also bought it..."
Zhuang Yonggang bit out four or five people at once.
Hearing these names, Teacher Sun's even turned green. He didn't expect that so many students would be involved!
And this is just a class. If it were the entire grade or even the entire school, how many people would there be!
"I didn't expect that it was a gang that committed the crime!"
