Xu Li didn't expect that the person who saved him yesterday turned out to be a recent celebrity in the capital, the honorary principal of Lingyun cram school.
He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, I'm not suitable."
Not suitable.
It’s not that I don’t want to.
Principal Wu has spent most of her life studying teaching and does not know any negotiation skills. After thinking about it, she simply dismissed her: "I heard something about you, and I dare to come and invite you. Naturally I am not afraid. Those things... I might as well tell you directly that this cram school was proposed by Minister Lin's daughter, and your little trouble is nothing."
Xu Li couldn't help but recall what happened yesterday.
That girl felt confident, and what she said...
Minister Lin?
Lin Binghui?
His daughter really doesn't care about this.
Can--
"So that's it. But forget it, I'm fine now."
Principal Wu looked at him, his smile gradually fading, as if he had read his mind and was a little disappointed.
Xu Li felt guilty for no reason. He turned his head and avoided Principal Wu's sight.
"Are you afraid because of your past experiences?" Principal Wu shook his head slowly, "No, if that's the case, you won't teach others to study anymore."
After a pause, Principal Wu affirmed: "You don't want to be favored or taken care of."
After what he really cared about was revealed, Xu Li breathed a sigh of relief, as if the big stone on his heart had been lifted.
He turned back to Principal Wu and said, "Yes, you are right. It's not that I can't teach, but I don't want others to pity me for my father's sake. I don't consider myself a gentleman, but I also I don’t want to eat food that comes with complaints, especially if I don’t want to insult my father’s integrity.”
Xu Li had never seen his father, not even his remains. His father only had a tomb.
His father's tomb was erected by his mother. Later, he personally buried his mother's ashes next to his father's old clothes.
He has been proud of his father since he was a child - his mother never bothered to hide the news of his father's death, even though he was only three or five years old at the time, crying and clamoring for his father.
My mother said that my father died for his country and was a hero. He sacrificed his life to let more compatriots live.
He didn't miss his father.
Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the mountains, and every inch of unharmed mountains and rivers has the flesh, blood, voice, and smiles of him, their parents, and grandparents.
Xu Li smiled relieved and said to Principal Wu, "I'm sorry, your hard work was in vain."
There was no smile on Principal Wu's face.
When Miao Hongqi said she didn't want to take the college entrance examination, she didn't even show such a disappointed expression.
"Okay, I guess I misjudged you."
Principal Wu stood up on his knees and slowly walked out with his hands behind his back.
"Your father was loyal and brave all his life, but you are a coward."
"What do you think you are rejecting? Alms? Haha... We are working hard to cultivate talents, but you are stuck in the ridiculous face and can't extricate yourself."
Principal Wu's voice was not loud, but every word came clearly to Xu Li's ears.
The words had no offensive power, but they were like steel knives, stabbing into Xu Li's heart.
He looked at Principal Wu's back, remained silent, and sat in his original position very rudely, without getting up to see him off.
In the courtyard, Xu Nianan came to see Principal Wu off with a civet cat in his arms.
Principal Wu suddenly stopped and rubbed the little girl's head, but hesitated to speak.
Xu Nianan smiled like a sunflower, her eyes curved into crescents, and waved to Principal Wu very politely: "Thank you for teaching me how to read today. Please walk more slowly. Goodbye."
The little girl is so sensible that it is impossible not to like her no matter what.
I'm taking a day off. I went to BJ today. After a long day of hard work, I'm so tired that my brain is numb. Sorry guys.
