Chapter 4 Aborted Sports Dream
Tong Tong was full of confidence the night before and made up his mind to live a good life, but he got into trouble early the next morning.
The first thing he had to do to be a new person was to go to school on time, no longer be late or leave early, and not make Teacher Meng angry. But he had been in a long time and even forgot the time for morning self-study.
Early in the morning, he sent a message to Geng Xiaoqing for the first time, wanting to go to school with her. He thought Geng Xiaoqing would be overjoyed, so he praised him. Unexpectedly, she replied: "I'm halfway through morning self-study, I'll come out to have some breath."
It was only six o'clock at that time, and the morning self-study was half over? When did the students become so hard?
Tong Tong was stunned for a while, grabbed his schoolbag and ran towards the school. He didn't want to leave a bad impression on Teacher Meng.
After coming out of the village in the city and walking south for 500 meters, Baolong Plaza is Baolong Plaza. After walking west for 800 meters, you can see the Fifteenth Middle School. Tong Tong ran fast all the way. After passing Baolong Plaza, he needed to cross the road. The crosswalk was too far, so he simply passed through the middle of the main road. Although there was a guardrail in the middle of the road, he jumped over easily. His figure was as elegant as Liu Xiang possessed.
Unfortunately, no one appreciated his handsomeness, but he was stopped by the traffic police on the roadside. The traffic police had a dark face, waved at him, and signaled him to walk over. Tong Tong was very depressed and thought that he had just been taught a lesson by Lao Niu in the police station yesterday, and now he has provoked the traffic police again.
The traffic police were about the same age as Lao Niu, and he started to scold him: "Who taught you to climb over the middle of the road? There are so many cars on the street, so you are desperate? Are you from No. 15 Middle School? Which class from? What's the name?"
Alas, there was another interrogation in the early morning. Tong Tong twitched his head and defended himself cleverly: "I have turned it over many times, but no one cares about me!"
...
Good, when you meet someone who doesn't tell me, the traffic police uncle is angry and laughed.
At this moment, a beautiful woman came over. It was Mr. Meng. Mr. Meng only took a small clutch and seemed to be out for breakfast. She said in surprise: "Tong Tong?! Is it really you? What are you doing here?"
Tong Tong was embarrassed to say that he was caught by the traffic police and hesitated and refused to speak. However, the traffic police said it all in one go. Finally, he said: "This kid is a good student of sports. When he flipped over the railings, he was really like Liu Xiang."
Teacher Meng didn't think this was a compliment. She stared at Tong Tong unhappily, and her eyebrows were twisted. He heard from the traffic police that Hong Kong City was "creating a city", so recently, it has cracked down on uncivilized behaviors such as running red lights. If you catch one, you will be fined 100 yuan. Tong Tong didn't expect that her turn was so valuable.
Teacher Meng sighed slightly and pleaded for him: "Comrade Traffic Police, this is my student. I have no education to him well, and I have a responsibility. Where can poor students have money to pay a fine? Let's do this, I'll ask him to write a check and I'll give it to you tomorrow!"
Teacher Meng is beautiful, he speaks kindly and has a sincere attitude, which immediately adds a lot of impression points. The traffic police did not make things difficult for Tong Tong and said with a dark face: "It's a checkup, there's no need to leave it to me. The students have to take them back for a good education. Traffic safety is no small matter. If I catch them next time, it won't be so easy to get out."
Teacher Meng thanked her, turned her head and left, her back was full of anger. When she thought of making a mistake in front of Teacher Meng again and causing trouble for her, Tong Tong felt annoyed and followed her like a small follower.
Teacher Meng walked quickly and asked without looking back: "Have you finished last night's examination?"
"It's written, but the word count doesn't seem to be enough."
Teacher Meng stopped and sneered: "Ha, you are honest."
Tong Tong heard that Teacher Meng was not praising him at all, but mocking him. He couldn't even do the simplest homework well.
But Tong Tong did his best. He couldn't even write a 600-word essay. Even if he hollowed out his intestines, he couldn't write a 1,000-word review!
But Teacher Meng didn't take his set. After she arrived at the office, she moved out a stool and said, "Just write here, you can't leave if you can't finish it."
As long as he could see Teacher Meng, he would be happy to stay in the office forever. He was about to sit on the stool, but Teacher Meng sneered: "It's not for you to sit, go, lean against the wall, and squat down to write!"
...
Sure enough, beautiful women are all tough characters.
As soon as Tong Tong showed a pleading look, Teacher Meng widened his eyes and scolded him: "What should I see? You have to bear the consequences for your mistakes! Don't think that if I'm not here, you can cheat. You have to be serious when you are watching so many teachers."
It was over, not only could not escape, but even Teacher Meng could not see him. Tong Tong squatted down in the corner of the wall in frustration, enduring the whispers of the teachers and the gloating eyes from the classmates.
Teacher Meng was indeed very disappointed with him, but she didn't just punish him simply. She had other things to do. The most important thing was to find his former class teacher to find out the situation.
The Mid-Autumn Festival sun was still a bit hot, and Lao Fan and Teacher Meng were walking in the shade of trees and chatting about students. In Lao Fan's opinion, this new female teacher was a little over-inspired. She is from Hong Kong City and should know what the existence of No. 15 Middle School exists and what the quality of the students here is. Ninety-nine percent of the students cannot get into college, so what if they try to teach them?
However, he also realized that this beautiful teacher had a tenacity. Her enthusiasm for work often made the old men in the school recall their youth. Lao Fan was quite moved and tried his best to help her get familiar with everything from No. 15 Middle School.
Teacher Meng is undoubtedly concerned about Tong Tong and Geng Xiaoqing, especially Tong Tong. I heard that he is very talented in athleticism and has a little reputation in Taekwondo. But how can such a poor student have the conditions to practice Taekwondo?
Lao Fan said: "I heard that when he was in elementary school, a tenant came to his house and knew some fist and foot skills. No one knew his origin, and Tong Tong didn't know either. He could only speculate that he was an unsuccessful athlete. Tong Tong's Taekwondo was taught by him."
"Tong Tong was quite lucky to have a professional who could help him."
"It should be his luck! I heard from his first-year high school class teacher that the man wanted him to take the path of a professional athlete, but unfortunately he didn't do it."
"Why?"
Lao Fan spread his hands: "No one knows, it seems that the man is dead! Tong Tong is stupid again, talking in a mess, and can't ask anything."
Teacher Meng frowned again, and she decided to go back to talk to Tong Tong. As a result, on the way back to the office, she heard several people talking about Tong Tong, saying that the silly big man curled up and wrote a checkup, like a bear in a cage, which was so funny!
When Teacher Meng returned to the office, Tong Tong was indeed squatting by the wall. When he saw this, he was indeed very tall, and it was very painful to squat there, and he kept changing his posture. Teacher Meng felt pity and shouted him. Tong Tong's legs were numb and rubbed for a long time before he walked to her.
Teacher Meng asked him to move the stool over, and then sat him down, and praised him first: "You didn't escape this time, and you honestly wrote the inspection. It's improved compared to before, and it deserves praise."
Is this praising him?
Tong Tong nodded in a daze.
Looking at his silly appearance, Teacher Meng was unable to combine his image with a Taekwondo master for a while. After the other teachers left, Teacher Meng asked him. Tong Tong lowered his head. It was obvious that he was still quite sad when he mentioned the past. As Lao Fan said, the master who taught him did die.
Teacher Meng asked gently: "Is it because he passed away that you gave up Taekwondo?"
"Well, that's right!" Tong Tong scratched his head and said, "Old Zeng took me to the sports team. The coach there asked him to prepare something, so he took me home. As a result, he died that night."
"He is your master, why do you call him Lao Zeng?"
Tong Tong said: "From the beginning, my grandmother asked me to call him Master, or Teacher Zeng, but he asked me to call him Lao Zeng, and he said that he would feel more comfortable. He also said that he was not worthy of being a teacher."
That was really a weird person. Teacher Meng asked again: "But this is a coincidence. He died when you just went to the physical education brigade and got home? Can you still remember what the coach asked him to prepare?"
"The coach said, I used to be a black householder and it was difficult to deal with. Although I didn't charge money for training, if I wanted to stay in the sports team, I would have to connect a lot of relationships. I didn't understand what was going on, but Lao Zeng was very unhappy. After returning home, he talked to my grandma for a while, and my grandma also sighed for a long time. Lao Zeng smoked a lot of cigarettes and asked me to go to the convenience store to buy him a bottle of Hong Kongcheng ancient wine. The next morning, when I called him to have dinner, his body was stiff. Lao Tong, the father in my household registration book, also said that Lao Zeng drank such a bottle of good wine and left after drinking it."
Teacher Meng sighed and asked again: "But you didn't go to the sports school? Do you have to go to the sports school first and then to the sports team? I remember that my classmate seems to be like this."
"Old Zeng took me to inquire, and the sports school also had to collect money. He was so angry that he took me home. Later, he asked me to compete with the sports school's Taekwondo practitioners. I won, and he took me to the sports team. As a result, the sports team didn't go in, and Lao Zeng took his life first."
Tong Tong didn't understand these twists and turns at that time, but when Teacher Meng heard this, he became angry. The coach of the sports team obviously wanted to blackmail, but his greed made these poor people desperate. Lao Zeng could not raise so much money, so he must be very depressed. His death was related to his inability to drink and drink.
Teacher Meng became more and more angry the more he thought about it. The most regrettable thing was Tong Tong. If the coach of the sports team was a person who cherished talents, then Tong Tong might have entered the national team and was winning glory for the country. Unfortunately, he was still the most ordinary high school student, or even the most down-and-out high school student.
Good fortune makes people!
There was a moment when Teacher Meng hoped that Tong Tong was so stupid. He didn't understand the twists and turns in the adult world. It would be nice to be so simple and clear.
She asked Tong Tong to go back to class, and Tong Tong obediently agreed. But the moment she got up, Tong Tong smiled bitterly: "Teacher, do you think that a person like me is actually quite a bit of life?"
“…”
"My grandma said that some people are born for unluckyness, and suffering is a bottomless pit, and there is no such good thing as a bad thing. Perhaps, I am such a person."
It turned out that he knew everything. Teacher Meng smiled slightly: "Do you think fate is unfair?"
