Bai Erlang cried for a long time. The next day, he got up with red eyes. He grabbed his book box and went out without eating breakfast at all.
The boy was so worried that he could only go to the kitchen to pack a bag of snacks and follow him.
By the time Mrs. Bai asked someone to bring money over, Bai Erlang had already gone out.
What's rare is that he was the first to arrive at the school today, earlier than Man Bao and Bai Shan Bao. This is the first time in history.
When the two of them arrived at the school, the first thing they saw was Bai Erlang sitting motionless on the stone steps in front of the school.
The two couldn't help but look at each other, and they stepped forward and asked him with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
Man Bao saw his eyes were red and asked with concern, "Isn't it because he was beaten?"
Bai Erlang burst into tears and sobbed: "My mother stole my money."
Bai Shanbao and Manbao's eyes widened at the same time, obviously shocked.
Among them, neither Bai Shanbao, who was born into a wealthy family, nor Manbao, who was born into a poor family, had ever seen a thief.
So the two of them couldn't come up with an idea for a while.
Manbao frowned and said, "That's your mother. You can't report to the official, right?"
Bai Shanbao said: "It's useless to report to the official. Mother is the priority. If Bai Er goes to complain, it will be unfilial, and the Yamen will not care about it."
Man Bao took it to himself and thought about it, and felt that if Qian took her money - then give it to his mother!
But it seems that her mother will not steal her things without asking. This kind of thing usually only happens to her father.
So Man Bao said: "You should complain to your father. Every time my father looks into my fifth and sixth brothers' private money, my fifth and sixth brothers will complain to my mother."
"I sued, and my father also stood by me. But my grandmother supported my mother, and my father couldn't do anything to my mother."
Man Bao sighed and said, "Then I have no choice, because I have never seen my grandma."
She and Bai Erlang looked at Bai Shanbao together.
Bai Shanbao also frowned in distress, "I can't help it, because my mother also likes to listen to my grandma, but my mother will not steal my things."
Bai Erlang cried sadly, and the two friends could only comfort him together.
After a while, Bai Erlang shed tears and said, "I know where my mother hid the money, and I'm going to get it back."
"Isn't that still stealing?" Bai Shanbao said, "This is wrong. How can a good person be a thief?"
Man Bao also nodded, "How about we go and reason with your mother after school? I think your mother is usually quite nice."
Bai Shanbao also nodded, "Always give us all kinds of delicious food."
Man Bao: “And he’s very kind.”
Bai Erlang was angry, "Whose side are you on?"
"This way!" they both said in unison.
Bai Erlang looked at them suspiciously, "Is it true?"
"Of course, we don't lie," Man Bao stood up and said, "But we have to make some preparations before that. Let's ask sir, if a mother steals her child's things, how should a child tell her mother?
reason."
Bai Shanbao had never seen such an example in the book, so he thought he could only ask Mr. Zhuang for advice.
Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Zhuang was also stumped.
Just after morning class, he was surrounded by three children and asked such a difficult question.
Mr. Zhuang felt that Dragon Boat Festival, no, it was a holiday and it was not suitable for teaching.
Mr. Zhuang thought for a while and then said: "You should think about it as a teacher, and I will tell you when I think of it."
The three of them asked eagerly, "How long?"
Mr. Zhuang thought for a while and then said: "Should I tell you before dinner?"
The three of them were very disappointed, "Sir, couldn't you tell us before leaving school?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "I'll do my best as a teacher."
The three of them went to class full of worries, but soon they no longer had the energy to think about their worries, because Mr. Zhuang's classes became more intense again. He seemed to be testing the limits of the three children, but the three children did not know this.
Therefore, in order to keep up with their teacher's progress, they can only concentrate more on listening to the lectures and flip through the textbooks after class to consolidate the knowledge they have just learned.
After lunch, Mr. Zhuang did not take a lunch break with them today. Seeing that they were about to fall asleep with their eyes half-closed, Mr. Zhuang quietly left the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
The sun was in the sky and the sun was not shining brightly.
Mr. Zhuang went directly to Bai's house under the bright sun. When he saw Mr. Bai, he was already sweating.
Mr. Zhuang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry."
"Where, where? Mr. Zhuang is too polite. Come in and cool off." Mr. Bai invited people in and asked, "Sir, I'm here in the scorching sun. What's the matter?"
Mr. Zhuang took a sip of tea before telling Mr. Bai about the problems of the three children.
Mr. Bai had some embarrassment on his face and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhuang was laughed at. My wife is short-sighted. But I persuaded her last night and she returned the money this morning. It's just that Erlang is too impatient.
I didn’t sleep well last night, so I went to school without eating breakfast.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhuang felt relieved and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good."
He paused and then said with a smile: "There is a folk proverb that is not quite right, but it has some truth, but it may offend Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai."
"Mr. Zhuang, just talk."
Mr. Zhuang paused for a moment and then said: "Dragon gives birth to dragon and phoenix gives birth to phoenix. In my opinion, it is not only a matter of genetics, but more importantly, children will learn from their parents. Bad people always teach their children to be good.
But he forgot that the most powerful teacher in the world is the one who teaches through words and deeds."
"Children can listen, see, and think, but Erlang is a child with a simple and straightforward temperament. He is still young and doesn't know right from wrong yet, so Mr. Bai should be more careful in teaching his children in the future."
Mr. Bai understood Mr. Zhuang's hidden meaning, blushed, and sent Mr. Zhuang out of the house with a series of accusations.
After Mr. Zhuang left, he looked at the boy serving tea and said, "Go to the backyard and tell your wife exactly what Mr. Zhuang said when he came to visit you just now."
Just the boy responsible for serving tea and fanning:...
He slowly walked to the backyard.
Bai Erlang, who had endured all the hard work until school was over in the afternoon and was about to go home with a generous look on his face, was stopped by Mr. Zhuang. He smiled and said: "When you get home, go back to your room first, and then go and greet your mother and admit your mistake."
,do you know?"
Bai Erlang glared, "Sir, why am I still wrong?"
"Why not?" Mr. Zhuang said: "As a son, no matter what happens, you should not yell at your parents. If you have reason, you should reason properly. What's the matter with making noises and wallowing?"
Bai Erlang wanted to defend himself, but Man Bao asked from the side, "Sir, have you gone to see Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said nothing.
Bai Shanbao also asked excitedly, "Did Mrs. Bai return the money to Erlang?"
Mr. Zhuang remained silent, but Bai Erlang also reacted and said happily: "Really, really? Sir, you are really amazing!"
