"Hello, teacher..." Chen Di, Huang Tao and more than a dozen students entered the office dejectedly.
Xiang Tianying waved his hand: "Sit down, why do you look like this? Are you afraid of getting beaten when you go home?"
One student said: "That's not true. If my father slaps me, my face will be swollen for half a month."
Xiang Tianying smiled: "Then I'll talk to your father and ask him not to slap you."
The student said, "Don't do it. I won't be able to stand being kicked."
This time everyone laughed, Xiang Tianying also laughed, and said: "It's just a fight, it's nothing, especially you boys, there are some teenage boys who have never fought before. Just tell me, teacher."
Well, when I was in school, I would fight with people all day long. One time, a classmate named Zhao told me that someone had made an appointment with him to fight by the river on the weekend and asked me to help. I asked him how many people were there, and he said
There were three or four people. I thought that three or four people could be dealt with by the two of us, so I agreed. But on that day, I went to the river and saw that there were still three or four people, more than thirty or forty. I wanted to run away at this time.
It was too late, the person on the other side had already seen me, and someone shouted at me: 'What do you do!' I said at that time: 'Aren't you here to beat up the guy surnamed Zhao?' The person taking the lead on the other side said: 'The new guy is here.
Yeah, stand at the back.' I stood in their line, and in the end, the man named Zhao didn't come either. The leader invited me to dinner, and I even joined in on the meal."
The students all laughed.
Xiang Tianying continued: "Later I learned that studying was more important. I spent more and more time studying, and I had no time to fight with others. Later I came out of school and took the holy boat to Lingao, where I
It was no longer as simple as fighting, it became killing people with real swords and guns. However, your teacher was not very good at killing any of the enemies, but he was beaten quite badly. During the first counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, I had a wound on my arm.
I was asked to shoot an arrow by Xiang Yong, and then when they attacked Goujiazhuang, I was doused with boiling water. In both battles, I was the second most seriously injured."
Huang Tao said: "What about the one who was injured the most?"
Xiang Tianying said: "One's face was hit by a cannon and became pockmarked, and the other's face was in Cuigang."
Everyone was silent again. Xiang Tianying said: "Teacher, I have also been a student. I know that you can't listen to the big principles. Let's just follow the students' way. Now I am your monitor. How can I talk about it first?"
This cleaning thing. Chen Di, why don’t you want to do this job?”
Chen Di lowered his head and said nothing, Xiang Tianying said with a smile: "Beating people is much more tiring than sweeping. Is it true that the eldest daughter of an official family can only beat people, but cannot sweep the floor? Sweeping the floor will be embarrassing?"
This was heart-breaking. Not to mention that Chen Di didn't dare to answer, and none of the students present dared to speak.
Xiang Tianying's face became serious: "How many times have I said that what the Senate wants to establish is a new society where everyone is equal. There is no division of labor, no distinction between high and low. If you are asked to clean the table and sweep the floor, you will feel ashamed of your status.
Well, that day, the agricultural technicians and elders of the Earth Society went to the river to dig out smelly mud and picked up garbage on the streets. Do you also want to look down on them? No matter what concepts your parents taught you, you have to change them when you get to school. What happened this time,
Each person is given a warning, do you have any objections?"
Huang Tao suddenly raised his head: "Teacher, I am the one who took the lead in this matter and it has nothing to do with them."
Xiang Tianying said: "I know you value loyalty, but loyalty is no greater than the school's rules and regulations. You guys are quite unjust in this matter. You stood up for others without even understanding what the matter was. But I can't not punish you, no matter what."
What reasons do you have for not violating school disciplines? If you break the rules today, I won’t care. If a veteran’s child comes and beats you tomorrow, I won’t care either. Are you waiting to be beaten to death? You have a good intention to help your friends.
Yes, but remember, next time you ask to understand what is going on before you come forward. Now you only have a pair of fists, and you can still apologize if you hit the wrong person. But if you have a knife and a gun in the future, and you kill the wrong person, there will be nothing.
I’ve made up for it. Besides, can’t you trust me so much? It’s my job to stand up for students, so if you do it for me like this, you’re not giving me face.”
"Teacher, I..." Huang Tao wanted to explain something, but didn't know what to say.
Xiang Tianying said: "I know that in the past, in the Ming Dynasty, officials and principals never cared about the life and death of the people. It was the fellow villagers who helped out in everything, so you are used to it. Now it is the world of the Song Dynasty, and the elders
The academy will make the decision for everyone, so I have accepted all the previous rules of the Ming Dynasty. It is your first time to make this mistake. This is because I did not teach you well. It is my fault. But today I have made it clear.
If you commit the crime again for the second time, it is a deliberate recidivism. You no longer want to be under my command, and I can't help you. One warning for quarreling will result in two expulsions. This is also the school's rule. Don't touch it. Your father did it.
It's all a life-and-death job. Isn't it because they are working so hard to give you a good future? You will graduate in a few months, so don't do stupid things at this time."
Huang Tao nodded silently.
Xiang Tianying said: "Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. Everyone should go and do what they are supposed to do. Recently I am planning to bring a team to the school to play a game with the Dutch. Huang Tao, come on
Let's play forward and go back and practice hard. And Lin Zida, you made too many mistakes in your math homework last time. Come to me after the first period tomorrow and I will talk to you about parallelograms. Okay, okay.
Come on, all the boys should leave."
"Goodbye, teacher." The boys filed out of the office, leaving only four girls in the room.
Xiang Tianying said: "I have many ways to deal with these bald boys, because I was a student before, just like them now. The problem is that I have never been a female student, so I really don't know what to do with you.
What are you talking about? You should graduate this year, and your families probably have plans for you. Let’s talk about where you will go after graduation.”
No one spoke, Xiang Tianying said: "My question is not difficult, why do you have to answer by name? Wu Leer, you go first."
Wu Leer is a dark and thin girl: "My family wants me to go to Lingao to attend a vocational school, but I haven't decided what to study. My family also thinks that Lingao is quite far, and I am alone with no one to take care of me.
rest assured."
Xiang Tianying said with a smile: "What's the point? You have been boarding here for three years. I don't think there is anything to worry about at home. Besides, the conditions over there in Lingao are much better than here. They are also under boarding management. I'm afraid something will happen.
?”
I asked two more questions, one was about taking the high school entrance examination, and the other was about going to work. Xiang Tianying casually chatted about a few related things, and finally asked about Chen Di. She said: "My father told me to take the Kaohsiung health training exam."
I will work as a hygienist in the future. However, I plan to arrange a marriage for me before I go to school."
Chen Di is already fifteen years old, and it is normal to get engaged in this era.
Xiang Tianying said: "This is a good thing. Can I ask which company it is?"
Chen Di curled his lips and said, "My father is still choosing. He thinks he has made a loss by selling me to any house he looks at. Now he is thinking about marrying me to Lingao."
Xiang Tianying smiled slightly, Chen Qi was just a daughter, she was a pirate leader in the past, and now she is a captain. She is absolutely indispensable for a betrothal gift that she considers very important, and there are really not many people in Kaohsiung who can afford such a betrothal gift.
Xiang Tianying said: "It seems that you are not very willing. I remember that you wanted to take the entrance examination for high school."
Chen Di said in surprise: "Teacher, do you still remember?" She immediately became hopeful. If the leader spoke, her father would not dare not listen.
Xiang Tianying said: "Do you really want to go to high school?"
Chen Di nodded: "I think so!"
Xiang Tianying said: "But your average grade is not enough. You should know the admission scores of high schools and primary schools, right?"
"Yes, I know there is still a long way to go. However, I asked my classmate to help me with my tutoring. I gave her three cents of food stamps every week."
"It's a good thing that you ask someone to help you with tutoring. It's okay to spend money. This is a serious matter." Xiang Tianying asked the name of the classmate who helped her with tutoring. He was indeed a child who studied well. "There will be a class before graduation in half a month."
If you can get into the top 50 in your grade, I will talk to your father about it and let you take the entrance exam for high school. If your grades are too bad, I can't tell him."
Chen Dian gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, thank you, teacher."
Xiang Tianying waved his hand: "Okay, just do whatever you have to do. You are about to graduate. Don't make trouble for me anymore."
The girls all went out, Xiang Tianying knocked on the wall: "Everyone who was eavesdropping next door, please come back." The parents all entered the office again, Xiang Tianying said: "When you go back, don't hit or scold your children, talk more.
As for the exam, if I do more homework, I won’t have the heart to cause trouble when I have the exam."
Chen Qi said: "Chief, this..."
Xiang Tianying said: "I promised to talk to you for Chen Di, but I didn't ask you to agree. She was ranked 97th last time, how can she easily get into the top 50? Besides, she really needs to be admitted to the top 50 after graduating from high school.
Being a cadre is no better than being married!"
Chen Qidao: "After she becomes a cadre, she will also be someone else's wife!"
Xiang Tianying was angry and funny, so he could only jokingly say: "The bride price is much higher than that of a junior high school graduate, right?"
After sending away a group of parents, Xiang Tianying returned to the office, wrote a memorandum of what happened, and kept it on file for future reference. Then he took out a special note and wrote down his opinions on how to deal with Chen Qi and Huang Qu. He was approving
The article stated that although Chen Qi had made mistakes, he had already understood it, and overall his discipline was still lax, so there was no need to punish him. As for Huang Qu, he was not punished, but it was written: "This person has pulled the trigger."
He has a tendency to form gangs and is not suitable for holding more important positions."
He put the note into a confidential envelope, sealed it and handed it to his secretary: "Send it out tomorrow."
