The afternoon sun was so bright that the green belt downstairs was left with only a large area of red, dotted with a little green and yellow. Big white clouds linger in the gray-blue sky. On such a quiet and peaceful afternoon, the whole city was quiet, especially the teaching building. There was no one in the corridor, and even the slightest sound could be clearly detected.
The head teacher leaned against the pillar in the corridor, with Tao You standing obediently in front of him. She pushed up her glasses, sighed, and said softly, "What happened in the cafeteria at noon today?"
Tao You lowered her head and did not dare to look directly at the class teacher. The sun warmed half of her face. She put her hands by her side and kept twisting the corners of her clothes. She was silent for a while, as if she was trying to organize her words. Finally, she simply said, "There is an aunt who took the seat I took first."
"Then you scolded me?" the head teacher asked immediately, "the teacher on duty called me directly on my mobile phone."
"There was a girl in your class who got into an argument with an outside parent in the cafeteria. She couldn't stop her. Most of the people in the cafeteria were watching the joke. She even asked her to take away her schoolbag and wash it. After washing it, I'll send it back to you. You are very capable." The head teacher stared at Tao You, "When the teacher on duty called me to question me, I didn't know how to reply."
The class teacher paused for a few seconds, as if giving Tao You a chance to breathe, "I have led the competition class and science class for so many years, and you are the first student who dares to conflict with the elders in public. It really opened my eyes. .”
"It's still on the school's open day. Do you know how many parents and students came to see the school today? What if they think there is something wrong with the education in No. 1 Middle School because they see you like this, and next year's enrollment rate drops?"
Tao You blushed instantly, but she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong. She stubbornly defended herself, "It was the aunt who made the mistake first. I tried to reason with her, but she didn't listen..."
"It's unreasonable! That's not the reason for your disrespect for your elders!" The head teacher forcefully interrupted Tao You's defense and sighed, "When they come to return their schoolbags in the afternoon, you apologize to them."
--Apologize? !
Tao You raised her head, her face full of stubbornness, her nose was sore, and she asked loudly, "Why should I apologize?!" This was the first time she had directly refuted her class teacher since she was so old.
The head teacher glared at Tao You and said, "Keep your voice down and don't disturb others." As she said that, she turned back and gave a warning look at the classmates who were leaning toward the door to eavesdrop.
"Tell me why you are apologizing." The head teacher advised earnestly, "This was originally a small matter. You can just change your seat and there will be no conflict at all. But now that you have made the matter bigger, it will not only This is your business alone. Besides, everyone has promised to clean your schoolbag. It would be best for everyone if we all take a step back."
——Good to everyone? I think it's just about the school's enrollment rate. I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize? Just because I am a student and she is an elder, and just because this matter may affect the enrollment rate, do I have to take the overall situation into consideration and suffer this grievance?
Tao You's eyes turned red. He took a breath to hold back the tears that were about to burst out. He looked away and said in a neither humble nor condescending way, "I did nothing wrong and I won't apologize."
"Teacher Qin, have you ever understood the entire process of what happened? Or did you only listen to the one-sided words of the teacher on duty?" she asked.
As soon as these words came out, the head teacher's face darkened, and the classmates in the class couldn't help but exclaim softly, but they still reached Tao You's ears clearly.
Tao You's heart was beating fast. She didn't know what the consequences would be after she finished speaking. Maybe Tao's father and Tao's mother would have to come to school, but she still said it because she did nothing wrong.
"I had a conflict with that aunt. It was a legitimate argument, not vicious, nor unreasonable. It was just because I occupied the seat first, and she occupied my position, and I refused to listen to her reasoning. I know the principle of respecting elders. But if I don't fight for it, then I will have to spend the time I would have spent eating to find a new position, which will harm my interests;" Tao Youyue said, straightening his back more and more, " Moreover, No. 1 Middle School has a rule that you cannot steal the position occupied by others without permission, and there is no reminder that this rule does not apply to school open days and parents."
"I didn't scold that aunt as you said, and I didn't even say a single curse word. What the aunt said was much more unpleasant; I just stated the facts. What if you
If you don't believe it, you can adjust the monitoring and ask the classmates or parents who were in the cafeteria at the time. "
"The history and achievements of No. 1 Middle School are obvious to all. I don't think my influence as an ordinary student is big enough to affect the enrollment rate of No. 1 Middle School."
"The students and parents who saw the whole process in the cafeteria and were clear-minded and reasonable will clearly understand whether I am unreasonable or whether I have the quality. They may also feel that the education of No. 1 Middle School is not as good as theirs. It’s almost the same. The students have good grades, the school atmosphere is great, the teachers are comprehensive, well-qualified, and know how to teach students in accordance with their aptitude; students also know how to fully apply the knowledge learned in books to real life. For example, when their own interests are violated, they know how to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. It would be shameful to stand up and protect your own rights instead of swallowing your anger when you have made no mistake, or making a fuss and wallowing without logic."
"Also, in the end we reconciled. They cleaned their dirty schoolbags and I found another seat to eat."
"Tao You! Why are you talking to the teacher? Are there big eyes?" The head teacher's eyes widened and he said sternly, "How does the teacher usually teach you! Ah! You even learned to talk back!"
The words spread throughout the corridor, and students from other classes poked their heads out curiously.
The head teacher's face was sullen, and you could see how hard she tried to prevent her boiling anger from completely coming out.
Tao You noticed how much anger was contained in the two eyes staring at her, as if she could be burned to ashes in the next second.
Tao You swallowed and lowered his head again, not daring to look at the head teacher's face.
"Bah!" A few gentle applauses rang out in the classroom, but disappeared when the head teacher stabbed him in the eye.
——It was so reckless. I couldn’t control myself and said it all.
She regretted that she had gone too far.
After waiting for a while, the head teacher did not continue to speak, and Tao You became even more panicked, but if she had to choose again, she would still say this.
"Okay, before evening, write a 2,000-word review and put it on my desk. I will investigate this matter and find out what happened." The head teacher put down his hands on his chest and raised his chin, "Go in first." Although His tone was still stern, but much better than before.
Tao You took a breath and realized that his legs had become soft and turned into mud at some point, and his back was soaked with sweat. He raised his eyes and quickly looked at the class teacher, then bent his waist at 90 degrees and bowed. A standard bow and apology, "I'm sorry, Teacher Qin, what I just said was too much."
The head teacher stretched out his hand to help Tao You up, his expression unchanged, "Go in first. But," she changed the subject, "If I finally investigate and find out, the facts tell you that there is a way out..."
Tao You stretched out his hand and made an oath, "Teacher Qin, I promise that I will never lie. Otherwise, I will not be able to get into the ideal university!"
——————————————————————————————
"Xiao Youyou," Hong Xiqi took a tissue to wipe Tao You's sweat, "you were so handsome just now! You are definitely the first student in history who dared to talk back to his teacher. Moreover, she only allowed you two thousand Just review the characters and that’s it.”
Tao You drooled, her heartbeat not slowing down yet, it was uncomfortably fast, "He is so handsome. I was almost scared to death. I said too much. The head teacher didn't punish me because she hadn't investigated clearly yet. She frowned and began to review what she had just said to the class teacher. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was disrespecting her elders, only to the class teacher.
Song Yimian handed over a familiar mint candy, "It's a relief."
Tao You pressed the candy under her tongue, and the refreshing taste of inferior mint spread and filled her entire body. Her brain gradually calmed down and her heartbeat slowed down.
"What's going on?" Song Yimian asked.
Tao Youni glanced at him and said impatiently, "You sat by the window and you heard everything, just like what I said." She didn't want to repeat that bad experience again.
Facing Song Yimian, a strange emotion arose in her heart, like anger or hypocrisy. She wanted to suppress it, but it still erupted.
——Must be angry that Song Yi didn’t keep his word, and they agreed to have dinner together, but ended up going to the student union halfway
We were having a dinner party, and we were obviously not from the student union. If he had gone to dinner together, maybe the conflict just now wouldn't have happened.
Tao You found an excuse for his emotions,
"..." Tao You didn't want to say anything, and Song Yimian didn't ask any more questions. He lowered his head and opened the half-read magazine.
Hong Xiqi also felt aggrieved for Tao You, "Why do they all think it's your fault? It's obviously the aunt who did something wrong. Could it be that adults can just unscrupulously refuse to admit that they did something wrong? And that teacher on duty, everything has been solved. The person involved didn’t say anything. Why is she so troubled and still reporting to the teacher? Xiao Youyou, I will always support you!"
The matter is so big, and so many people in the cafeteria have seen it. Sooner or later, this matter will spread to every corner of the school. The head teacher must know about it, but the teacher on duty is one step ahead. It is better to solve it now than to wait until the matter spreads. It's much better to solve it later. I just don’t know what the teacher on duty told the head teacher.
Tao You took out a piece of white paper from the drawer and wrote his name and "Reflection" on the top.
Hong Xiqi came over with a smile again, "Xiao Youyou, did you keep Tong Lin's contact information?"
Tao You shook his head, "No. What do you want to do?"
"Not even Tong Cheng's?"
Tao You continued to shake his head, "No."
Hong Xiqi shrugged, "Well, I just think it's interesting to chat with him. Besides, he has such good skin, he must have a lot of precious skin care tips."
--Is this interesting? It seemed quite interesting, at least the conversation was quite comfortable just now, except for the very beginning.
"Who are they?" Song Yimian put down the magazine and suddenly asked.
Tao You glanced at him and said, "A friend I just met." After saying that, he didn't want to say anything more.
"Tong Cheng is a freshman in high school. You can go look for him later." Tao You reminded.
Song Yimian seemed to have remembered something. He tapped his index finger and said to Hong Xiqi, "Gu Yi is looking for you. I asked you to wait for him after the lunch self-study."
Hong Xiqi rolled her eyes, "Who is he? I don't know him."
"Xiao Youyou, please accompany me to find Tong Cheng later."
Tao You nodded helplessly. She almost forgot that Hong Xiqi was also a professional, and recently she was also keen on all kinds of skin care.
