It was another busy day, and when I was packing up and getting ready to get off work, I suddenly received a call from my mother.
I answered the call without thinking, and it was An Lan's voice that came from the other end of the phone.
"Chen Feng, please go to Lushan Primary School right now. Ruirui goes to school there and she was bullied by her classmates."
An Lan's tone was urgent, but I didn't react for a while.
He was stunned for a moment before asking: "Which Ruirui?"
"It's just Liu Rui! Have you forgotten? You even went to help her hold a parent-teacher meeting."
I had to think about it for a long time before I remembered that there was such a child. An Lan told me that her father died early and her mother was in jail.
An Lan also kept lying to Ruirui that her mother was on a business trip abroad, and this child was thanks to An Lan, but there was no news for so long. I really didn't expect that An Lan had been taking care of her.
I asked in surprise: "Isn't she in Chongqing?"
"I have already arranged for her to go to Chengdu. The main reason is that you are also there, so it is more convenient."
"Then why are you telling me now?"
"Have I not contacted you before? Go and have a look. It was Teacher Ruirui who called just now."
"Okay, I'll go over right away, but if she asks me who I am, how will I explain?"
"She remembers you."
"It's been so long. If you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten."
"Children have good memories, don't worry, you will know after you go there."
I answered twice, hung up the phone, and took a taxi to the elementary school.
After arriving, I discovered that this is a private elementary school, but it is not considered an aristocratic elementary school. Generally, people who send their children to such schools hope that they can take care of themselves.
When I arrived at the school gate, I told the guard that I was here to see Liu Rui, and the guard helped me contact Liu Rui's class teacher.
After I waited at the door for a while, the head teacher came out and asked me, "Who are you?"
"Hello, teacher, I am Liu Rui's parent."
The teacher looked me up and down again, sighed and said: "There really is no fixed parent, no wonder the child becomes like this."
The teacher said this very quietly, but he was obviously complaining.
I didn't know what happened specifically, so I didn't say much and followed her to the office.
As soon as I entered the office, I saw the little girl named Liu Rui. She had grown taller, but her face was still as round and cute as before.
She stood leaning against the wall with one of the little boys. The little boy had an obvious scratch on his face, and Liu Rui's hair was also messy.
When Liu Rui saw me, she recognized me at a glance and immediately shouted to me: "Uncle Chen, you are here!"
Not only did she recognize me, she actually knew my last name, which is embarrassing to say. If An Lan hadn’t reminded her, I would have almost forgotten her.
I smiled awkwardly, and then asked her: "Ruirui, what's going on with you?"
Liu Rui puffed up her cheeks and glared angrily at the little boy next to her.
The teacher echoed from the side: "The kid next to me is a classmate of Liu Rui. His name is Wang Chen. His face was made like this by Liu Rui."
I took a look at the little boy, and the scratches on his face were indeed obvious. The boy had obviously cried, and there were still tears on his face.
I don't believe that a little girl would have such a thing happen with a boy, and in my impression Liu Rui has always been very well-behaved!
I squatted down in front of Liu Rui and asked her kindly: "Ruirui, tell my uncle, what happened?"
Liu Rui glared at Wang Chen next to him again, and said confidently: "He scolded me!"
I frowned, but the teacher said with some partiality: "What did he scold you for? Wang Chen has always been obedient, and he is still the study committee member of the class. What about you? Your grades are not good, and you still fight like boys. You can see for yourself.
Look at everything about you that looks like a girl."
I looked Liu Rui up and down, and I saw that she had indeed changed a lot from before, especially her hair, which was as messy as a chicken coop. From the looks of it, she looked like a child with no one to take care of her.
I suddenly felt sorry for her, and at the same time I was very angry at what the teacher said just now, because she might not know Liu Rui's situation at all.
I took a deep breath and didn't speak immediately. Instead, I pulled Ruirui over, turned her back to me, and then tied up her hair.
I have experience in taking care of children, but I have no experience in taking care of little girls, and my skills in tying hair are only mediocre.
But if I can help her tie it up, she will look more energetic, unlike the little beggar I saw when I came in just now.
After tying my hair, I continued to squat in front of Liu Rui and asked her with a smile: "Ruirui, tell uncle, why did you scratch your classmate's face?"
Liu Rui didn't seem to want to say anything. She lowered her head and her eyes were red, but she didn't let the tears fall.
"Look, your child is like this. She doesn't say anything when asked, and she doesn't play with her classmates. I think you can help her transfer to another school."
I still ignored the teacher and continued to patiently say to Liu Rui: "Ruirui, it's okay. I'm here. Tell me! What happened?"
Liu Rui finally raised her head, glanced at Wang Chen first, and then said to me: "He scolded me and said that every time he came to school to pick me up from school, it was the nanny. He said that I had no parents. He also said that I was the student of my father and the nanny.
bastard."
He can even say the word bastard, and I wonder if this is a second-grade elementary school student?
But before Liu Rui finished speaking, the man named Wang Chen took over the words aggressively and said: "You just don't have a parent, otherwise why would your nanny come to every parent-teacher meeting? We all know that your mother was
The police arrested you, your mother is the big bad guy, you are the little bad guy, you don’t even know who your father is, what are you if you’re not a bastard?”
After listening to these words, I just felt my scalp numb.
I didn't expect these words to come from the mouth of a seven or eight-year-old child, which simply subverted my three views.
Bastard, who called him that word?
There was also the matter of Liu Rui’s mother being imprisoned. How did he, a child, know about it?
Liu Rui also resisted at this moment, pointed at Wang Chen and said loudly: "You are talking nonsense! My mother is not a bad guy, she just went abroad on a business trip, and she will be back soon."
Wang Chen sneered and said very coldly and arrogantly: "Everyone in the class knows that your mother was arrested by the police. Don't deny it, you bad guy!"
As soon as Wang Chen finished speaking, Liu Rui rushed towards him again, seeing that the two children were about to struggle with each other again.
I hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Rui, and said to her: "Ruirui, don't be impulsive, calm down, uncle will help you vent your anger."
After saying that, I turned my head and looked at the class teacher with a gloomy look, and said coldly: "Did you hear it all? What kind of bullshit is this kid saying? And how did he know about Liu Rui's mother?
"
The head teacher's eyes were a little evasive, as if he was frightened by my momentum, or because of some kind of guilty conscience.
I continued to ask aggressively: "Speak! How did you become a class teacher?"
The head teacher's face turned green and red, and it took him a while before he said: "It's not a secret that Liu Rui's mother is in jail. When she comes to study with us, she needs to know the situation in her family clearly."
"What I'm asking you is, how do these students know this? Stop talking to me about this."
The head teacher panicked for a moment, but still said firmly: "Then how do I know why you are looking at me like this? Even if Wang Chen scolded her, she wouldn't hit someone, right?"
