As soon as she went to school that afternoon, Shui Lan went to the teacher and complained to Hong Yanwu.
But what she didn't expect was that Teacher Chang's handling method was very understated, and could even be said to be a bit perfunctory. He didn't do anything to Hong Yanwu, and just asked him to apologize to her in person. Moreover, Hong Yanwu's attitude
It is also extremely insincere, and there is even obvious sarcasm and pride in his eyes.
Shuilante was angry because of this. She couldn't figure out why Teacher Chang was so protective of such a "bad student".
She wondered, shouldn't all teachers like "good students"? Could it be that in Teacher Chang's mind, she, a member of the class committee, was not as good as a well-known naughty boy in the school?
Besides, Teacher Chang clearly knows that it is the responsibility of the class committee members to manage such "bad students", but why do they still do so perfunctorily and condone this unhealthy trend that undermines discipline?
Isn't this confusing the boundaries and not taking a firm stand...
Deep down in her heart, Shui Lan was indeed dissatisfied with Chang Xianzhang, but at the same time, she also understood that the teacher's status was above hers. She also understood that no matter what, the teacher also represented some kind of authoritative authority.
things, and tend to be most fond of obedient children.
So she tried her best to restrain her true emotions and pretended to be broad-minded and not careless.
It is said that one has to look up from childhood, and this is quite true. People's temperament is innate, and Shuilan is destined to be a "official meal", and this is already beginning to show.
However, while Shui Lan succeeded in gaining the teacher's approval, he also overlooked one thing. That is, Hong Yanwu was not a vegetarian, and was also petty. He was born with an almost fanatical love for revenge.
As a result, after returning home from school that day, when Shui Lan opened her schoolbag and packed her things, she discovered the most intolerable thing in her life - Hong Yanwu, a bad boy, had slipped into her Chinese language book with a beautiful cover.
A smelly old insole.
Shui Lan immediately yelled and threw the book out, and then rushed out of the house and kept vomiting in the yard, unable to recover for a long time.
She is a little girl who loves to be clean, and this is the first time she has suffered such a loss. This is so disgusting!
That night, she secretly cried alone for a long time. From then on, she had an unforgettable hatred for Hong Yanwu. The relationship between them never eased...
However, although Shuilan felt unprecedentedly aggrieved and believed that the teacher had an unreasonable partiality towards Hong Yanwu, Chang Xianzhang could easily explain this reason.
First of all, he didn't care too much about the pranks Hong Yanwu did on his way home, at least not as a criterion for evaluating a child's quality.
Because he also had a childhood, in his opinion, there is no child who does not like to make pranks, otherwise he is not a child. Although there are students who do not fight or make trouble, they are in the minority after all, and more of them are girls.
Secondly, he also believed that this matter was due to his own negligence.
Because there are too many lessons learned in history, such as "Zhang Fei beat up the postal supervisor in anger" and "When a man is angry, blood will be splashed five steps". The truth is clearly there.
And since he clearly knows that Shui Lan is a girl who loves to be serious and likes to show power to her classmates, then he should not hand over the angry Hong Yanwu to Shui Lan to manage him at once, not to mention that he even
Not even a single word of advice.
Therefore, precisely because of his carelessness, the conflict between the two children was destined to be an inevitable result at that time.
The last point is that he has just gathered Hong Yanwu, and this is the most critical time to establish mutual trust. If he supports Shui Lan to severely punish Hong Yanwu, then all his previous efforts will be in vain, and he will be in vain in the future.
It will be even more difficult for him to restore this level of frank communication with Hong Yanwu.
Therefore, how could he be willing to do such a stupid thing where all his previous efforts were wasted? Then he could only give a symbolic aha and ask Hong Yanwu to apologize, and then let it go in such a careless manner.
Then again, fortunately Shui Lan is a very scheming girl who is willing to compromise herself for the teacher, otherwise this matter would not have ended so smoothly.
However, as a person with a casual nature and a calm attitude towards fame and fortune, he actually did not appreciate Shui Lan's "little cleverness" and "positive attitude".
Although he was sure that Shuilan would be favored by many teachers or leaders besides him in the future, her future might be much brighter than that of other children, and she might even embark on a completely different path from most of her classmates in the class.
The path of "brightness" and "progress". However, he did not feel that this was a kind of happiness at all. On the contrary, he felt a little pity for her.
Because girls at this age should be the simplest and most innocent. However, Shui Lan's heart seems to have buried the accidents and value orientations that only adults have.
And in this way, regardless of whether she wants it or not, her childhood is over at this time...
Chang Xianzhang lives in Pingyuan Hutong. When school was over in the afternoon, he fulfilled his contract as usual and took Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan back home.
This place is actually just one street away from Furuli. If Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan go home, they will be there as soon as they turn the corner, and they can run back and forth in five minutes. Therefore, even if they go back later, it will not be a hindrance.
However, the house where Chang Xianzhang lived was different from the two of them's home. Because it was one of the three six-story Soviet-style buildings in this alley that definitely stood out.
This kind of building is also called "matchbox", which was learned from the former Soviet Union. It has been in use in Beijing from the early 1950s to the end of the 20th century. Although it is not very beautiful, it is still very practical.
It is far more advanced than the "simple building" built using the "dry base building" construction method, and the "tube building" that is repurposed as a dormitory.
Because taking the "simple building" as an example, the biggest feature is that it is "narrow, small, low, and thin". Not only does it have cool winters and hot summers, but the population density is also high.
Although the construction quality of the "Tongzi Building" is better, because there are no independent kitchen and toilet facilities, the corridors often become public kitchens and a place where old things are scattered.
In comparison, the superiority of "Matchbox" is also reflected.
Although the sparrow is small, it is well-equipped. Chang Xianzhang's home on the sixth floor not only has a kitchen, bathroom, and running water, but it is also a three-bedroom house with a balcony facing the sun. It is also equipped with a telephone. It was considered to be of the highest standard at the time.
It's a unit.
But it's no wonder, after all, his father was once a deputy director, and the level and treatment of cadres are exactly reflected here.
It was the first time for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to visit the unit in the building, and they seemed particularly excited. On the sixth floor, they ran up without stopping, and even urged Chang Xianzhang to hurry up.
When they entered the house, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were even more surprised. Not only had they never seen such a clean kitchen and toilet, they were also full of curiosity about the special furnishings in Chang Xianzhang's home.
What's so special about it?
It turned out that Chang Xianzhang's father had been to the Soviet Union due to work, so his home had many items brought back from the Soviet Union. Not only were there shiny silver candlesticks, but there were also samovars specially used for drinking tea by Russians (
A kind of tea soup kettle, made of metal, with two walls, a kettle filled with water and a fire in the middle). In addition to these, there are many Soviet pictorials on the table and some oil paintings hanging on the wall.
Just when the two boys were staring at the surroundings without blinking, Chang Xianzhang took out a metal music box with a little angel on it for them. When the strings were wound and opened, an even stranger tune came out.
Sent out.
The sound is not loud, but it is clear and clear, and it floats far away, making people's hearts tremble.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were completely dumbfounded. They had no idea what these things were in the room, and they had no idea what the music was. They just stood and watched and listened.
A special cultural atmosphere prevented Hong and the others from being as presumptuous as usual.
At this time, Hong Yanwu stopped shouting "What a stinker!" or "You're a bitch!" and Chen Liquan also forgot to imitate Hong Yanwu. The sound of the music box "ding ding dong dong dong" made them both
He became well-behaved and quiet, and his little heart became empty and high-spirited, full of emotion.
But why he was moved is unknown.
After the music disappeared for a long time, the two children finally recovered.
Chen Liquan couldn't help but ask Chang Xianzhang, "What song is the box with the little man singing?"
Chang Xianzhang replied, "That's a music box, and it's not a song. It's a piece of music called "Ave Maria," a piece of music used by foreigners to praise God."
Hong Yanwu became energetic again at this time. He first judged himself and said, "Foreigners' ditties are so difficult to tune, but our songs are bold and direct, and we can swallow mountains and rivers with just one breath."
Then, he shamelessly sang loudly with his broken gong voice.
"Hey la la la, hey la la la, there are colorful clouds in the sky, and red flowers are blooming on the ground. The people of China and North Korea are powerful, and they defeated the American soldiers. People all over the world are laughing, but imperialism is scared..."
Chang Xianzhang felt that it was so noisy and noisy that his brain hurt, so he quickly stopped.
However, at the same time, he was afraid that Hong Yanwu would not be happy, so he brought a tea jar with tea. He coaxed and lied, using the excuse that children fall in love with fire when they howl. He advised Hong Yanwu to drink some rose tea quickly and stop howling.
That cup of tea was originally prepared by Chang Xianzhang just for himself in order to moisten his throat while telling "The Complete Biography of Yue Shuo".
The tea has been brewing for two hours and has already been warmed. There is also rock sugar in it, and it is sweet and fragrant, just right for your mouth.
Hong Yanwu was not polite. He took it and drank half of the bottle in one go, shouting, "It's so nice! It's so refreshing! It's sweet!"
As a result, when Chen Liquan saw this, he was also greedy.
Although Chen Liquan is simple and honest, he is not heartless. He quite understands the need for circuitous curves. So, he touched the back of his head and said, "My voice is not bad," and he sang along in a sullen voice.
"The navigation of the sea depends on the helmsman, the growth of all things depends on the sun, the rain and dew nourish the seedlings, and the revolution depends on the thoughts of great leaders. Fish cannot live without water, and melons cannot live without seedlings..."
Just these few sounds were like small muffled thunders, but they were nowhere to be heard.
Chang Xianzhang was really frightened and couldn't wait to beg for mercy, "Okay, stop it. I think you just want to drink tea, here!"
Chen Liquan laughed embarrassedly, but he was really rude when he drank the tea. He took it and said "gu dong dong" in one go, and the remaining half of the tea went into his stomach.
Yes, the teapot was completely empty now. But the two children drank heartily and felt comfortable, so they were quite satisfied.
At this time, they all started to stare at Chang Xianzhang. After a while, they asked together with bright eyes, "Teacher, is it time for us to tell a story?"
"Still telling stories?"
Chang Xianzhang took the tea jar back, and when he saw the remaining tea leaves inside, he felt bitter in his heart, and then he complained angrily.
"You two, it's true that a full man doesn't know how hungry a hungry man is! My throat is still smoking, so you should leave a mouthful for me..."
