Wang Haochuan walked out of the office happily holding a stack of books. He was calm and reserved. Even if his heart was full of joy, he just raised the corners of his mouth and his eyes were brighter than usual. He thought about what Teacher Xie just said and thought,
Teacher Xie is really different from other teachers. She is never impatient, gentle and peaceful.
Just as he entered the classroom, Gao Fei bumped into him. Wang Haochuan hurriedly got out of the way, but Gao Fei's target was him. Wang Haochuan was knocked down on the podium, and books were scattered everywhere. His butt hurt from the fall, but he didn't care.
If he couldn't, he picked up all the books eagerly. Gao Fei stepped on his hand and pretended to be surprised and shouted: "Oh! Your foot hit my hand! It hurts, it hurts!"
After that, he jumped around the podium like crazy, jumping more happily than a rabbit. He picked up a book at random and threw it into the sky. Wang Haochuan wanted to grab it from his hand, but he couldn't.
He. He was extremely anxious. It was a book lent to him by Teacher Xie, so he couldn't throw it away! At this moment, Li Chengde, the passing physical education teacher, shouted loudly, which stopped Gao Fei from jumping like crazy.
Li Chengde shouted aggressively: "If you bully your classmates again, be careful and I will tell your parents."
Gao Fei said nonchalantly: "Then just sue! My dad hasn't gone far yet, but he doesn't know you."
Li Chengde was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Gao Fei made a face: "Ah ha! Not to mention the parents, even the students may not recognize the PE teacher!"
Gao Fei led his entourage and roared out of the classroom. Li Chengde scratched his head in embarrassment and cursed at the backs of the students: "Little bastards, don't be so arrogant! One day, I will let you see how powerful I am.
!”
But in the ears of the students, these words had no deterrent effect. Only Wang Haochuan expressed his gratitude to him: "Teacher Li, thank you!"
"It's okay. How is your hand?"
The back of his hand was red from being stepped on, and blood oozed from several joints. Wang Haochuan hid his hand behind his back and said, "It's nothing. It will be fine in a moment."
"They know how to bully their classmates and they should be beaten!"
Li Chengde just talked, and after he finished speaking, he left with his hands behind his back. He was only in his early twenties, but he walked like a man in his forties. The students didn't know what he had gone through.
Why has it become so vicissitudes of life?
After packing his schoolbag, cleaning the classroom, finding a bundle of rope, and tying up the books given by Teacher Xie, Wang Haochuan was ready to go home. He and Hua Tianlong were on the same road. On the way back, Hua Tianlong said angrily
: "Why does Gao Fei always have trouble with you?"
"Well..." Wang Haochuan raised his head and pondered for a while, then prevaricated: "Maybe... there is no need for any reason!"
The real reason was that he didn't want to tell Hua Tianlong.
Hua Tianlong was still angry: "Gao Fei and the others will bully the weak and avoid the strong! If I were in the classroom at that time, I would definitely beat them up! You are too good-tempered, so they bully you again and again!"
Hua Tianlong was outside the classroom at that time. If he wanted to rescue his good friend, that was perfectly fine. But instead of rushing up to him, he ran away in despair. Wang Haochuan saw it all, but he didn't point it out.
Smiling, he said, "Did you call Teacher Li here?"
"Well..." It's not good to admit it, nor is it good not to admit it. Hua Tianlong said hesitantly: "Teacher Li can't control anything, and the students are not afraid of him."
After work, Teacher Li was standing at the south entrance of Rulin Street. He parked his bicycle and put out all the things for the stall. Hua Tianlong stretched his neck and said, "Mr. Li seems to be selling melon seeds today! Wait a minute,
Oh oh…and there’s also a flower on the head!”
Teacher Li does various small businesses. Yesterday he sold melon seed candies, and the day before yesterday he sold millet cakes. Anyway, he sells several items in rotation, whichever one makes the most money.
"It's almost the Chinese New Year, and teachers haven't been paid yet. Since last year, teachers' salaries have always been delayed." Hua Tianlong sighed like an adult: "I heard from Xie Ying's grandfather that Teacher Xie hasn't been paid for a long time. He
I want Teacher Xie to change careers, but Teacher Xie doesn’t agree.”
"Change career?" Wang Haochuan was shocked. If Teacher Xie left, where would he find such a good teacher?
Teacher Li didn't have any baggage in setting up the stall. The weather was too cold. He held his hands, stamped his feet on the spot, and shouted like an ordinary hawker. He didn't care if others teased him.
Zhou Mingli came over on his bicycle, stopped at the entrance of the alley, and said with a sullen face: "Li Chengde, you set up a stall here on purpose to embarrass me, right?"
"Hey, Principal Zhou! Hello! What do you need?"
"Stop smiling at me! Answer my question first! You want me to see it on purpose and make me feel bad, right?"
Li Chengde still smiled playfully: "The business here is good, that's why I came here. Now I only think about my own livelihood. As for the principal's face, I'm sorry, I can't care about it!"
Zhou Mingli said: "To be honest, I haven't been paid for a long time."
"Yes, yes, everyone is having a hard time." Li Chengde said casually. When he saw the female students walking together in twos and threes, he said hello twice, but he didn't attract a single customer for a long time. He couldn't help but feel a little impatient and said: "
I heard that Qin, the Academic Affairs Office
The director went to contract a chicken farm with his relatives, and another physical education teacher went to sell vegetables with his family. You see, everyone has to find a way out, and everyone who is celebrating the New Year has to make some money!" Zhou Mingli was very embarrassed.
: "But they didn't set up a stall in front of me, the principal."
"Okay, I'll change places tomorrow - no, I'll change places now." Li Chengde shook his head coolly and kicked off the bicycle, but as soon as he lifted his feet, everyone could see the pair of already worn shoes.
Unglued cotton shoes.
Zhou Mingli couldn't bear to look at it and sighed: "You are still a bachelor's degree graduate, so you should be the proud son of heaven, but what kind of life are you living now! If others see it, they will say that studying is useless."
"Needless to say, I doubt the use of studying. However, there is no use regretting it now. For me, making money is the most important thing. Unlike you, my mother can only rely on me to support me. And I
He is an ordinary teacher with no power and no money."
These words seemed to blame the principal. After saying this, Li Chengde lowered his head, pushed his bicycle, and wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. Zhou Mingli stopped him: "I don't want to drive you away, I just saw
You, I feel bad too. You give me ten yuan worth of things - no melon seeds, but hairbands and flowers, and I'll give one cent to the neighbor's child."
If Li Chengde was a man with backbone, he would push the cart proudly, but poverty eroded his bones and finally opened the door. He took the money respectfully and picked a few that (in his opinion) were very good.
The beautiful hairpins and hairpins were put into a plastic bag and handed to Zhou Mingli: "Principal, you have it! Thank you!"
Zhou Mingli still sighed, took the bag and left. Li Chengde thought for a moment - shouldn't he really set up a stall here? Shouldn't he embarrass the principal?
Better go!
Before he left, two more business orders came to his door. Hua Tianlong generously took out two one-dollar coins and generously weighed two yuan of melon seeds. And Wang Haochuan took out a five-cent note from his pocket.
He handed the banknotes to Li Chengde: "Teacher Li, I want to buy two hair cards."
"Well...you're a boy, why do you buy hairpins?"
"Bought for my sister."
Li Chengde didn't want to sell it to him. Wang Haochuan's family background was very poor. This was a fact that almost all teachers knew. The five cents must be his cherished pocket money. His sister Wang Jingyi also has short hair and does not need hairpins at all.
Li Chengde knew very well why Wang Haochuan wanted to take care of his business. He wanted to say that he had helped him in school just now, and that was just what a teacher should do. There was no need to thank him, let alone take it seriously. But Wang Haochuan remained silent, and his pair of
The eyes seem to say a lot of words - Teacher, take it! This is a little bit of my heart!
Li Chengde took the money, got him a card, added another thirty cents, stuffed it into his hand, and said, "Don't spend money indiscriminately, it's enough to buy one for your sister!"
