When he was on the phone downstairs at Lin Qiang's house just now, Tang Yuanming felt very uncomfortable when he heard Lin Yue say he was going shopping. How many men would go shopping if they had nothing to do? If he wasn't very bored, who would want to eat dog food? At this time, he stood up again and used family affection to force Lin Yuefa to clarify the video. He couldn't do this kind of thing. Just like when he was tortured by the soul last time, he didn't do enough to be a two-faced person? Now you want to help the tyrants and become the principal's dog for a bone?
What's more, he watched the video. It was well done and the song was suitable for the occasion. It has already caused heated discussions on the Internet. The vast majority of netizens are still righteous and kind. They support Lin Yuepeng's school and principal, even if they don't consider the emotional harm. , even if the starting point is to protect his reputation as a history teacher, he cannot do anything that goes against public perception.
"Just defend him, defend him." Wang Dingnan was very angry and wanted to vent his anger at his feet. He looked at the newly bought radish high heels and restrained his inner emotions: "Tang Yuanming, you have to understand, he Just your cousin."
Tang Yuanming tried to explain to Wang Dingnan: "This is not a cousin or a nephew, it's a question of distance between relatives, it's a question of right and wrong."
"Okay, you think you did the right thing. For what you think is right, let us two drink the northwest wind, right?"
"If it doesn't reach that level, I don't count it as a suspension."
"It's not now, but it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. If you don't handle this matter well, the principal will definitely give you some shoes to wear. Even if this matter becomes a big deal and he withdraws, do you think the new principal will re-appoint a disobedient person?" Teacher?" Wang Dingnan was once a student of Tang Yuanming. He used to admire him, but since the two got married, his admiration has become less and less and his suspicion has become more and more: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have done it yesterday. Go back to this home.”
After a big fight in the early hours of last Saturday, she took her daughter back to her parents' home overnight. On Sunday, Tang Yuanming called her father-in-law to explain the situation. Wang Dingnan was so disturbed by his parents' persuasion that he compromised and went home. Unexpectedly, he didn't sleep. The two slept peacefully, and their peaceful days were broken again by that kid.
Just as Tang Yuanming was about to continue explaining, his phone beeped, a bubble appeared on the WeChat icon, and a message labeled "Teacher Wei Lina" popped up on the interface.
He was very annoyed now. He didn't want to look or reply. How could he know that Wang Dingnan glared and asked: "Whose is it?"
"Teacher of Class 10, Grade 10, Teacher Wei."
Seeing her reluctance, Tang Yuanming could only open the WeChat message box and tap on the voice message.
"Teacher Tang, are you busy now? I...I want to ask you something."
He held up his cell phone under Wang Dingnan's threatening gaze: "Tell me what's going on."
"It's like this. When Lin Yue left school this morning, I accidentally broke one of his belongings. Now he wants me to pay for it. He also said that if I don't pay, he will go to court to sue me. This... Teacher Tang , I know you are his cousin, just...just..."
It was obvious that Wei Lina was a little unable to speak.
"Teacher Wei, do you want me to be the peacemaker?"
"That's right."
"It's okay to help, but I'm afraid it won't be of much use. You also know that my cousin has a very stubborn temper." Tang Yuanming did not dare to agree readily because the principal on the left asked him to pressure Lin Yuefa to clarify the video, and Wei Lina on the right asked him to mediate. , persuaded Lin Yue not to hold her responsible for damaging the items. What did he take for this soft and hard move?
Think about it from Lin Yue's point of view. He has already broken up with the school leaders, but he still wants to continue to sacrifice his own interests? Why? Maybe even his cousin will have to bear the grudge.
"Teacher Tang, you can definitely help, because the thing I damaged, uh... is the gift I prepared to give you."
"Give it to me? A gift?"
Immediately afterwards, Wei Lina sent a picture. The pixels were a bit blurry and not clear enough, but it was clear that it was a wood sculpture broken into three pieces.
Wang Dingnan also saw the content of the picture and muttered in a low voice: "What a piece of crap."
It is true that she was a student of Tang Yuanming, and she admired him very much when she was in high school, but this does not mean that her history scores are very good. Of course, she does not understand that if a broken wooden carving is broken, it will break. What should be pursued? Tang Yuanming had a bunch of things to grow, and some of them took up too much space. The two of them had a lot of quarrels over this, and they later moved them to his parents-in-law's house for storage.
Tang Yuanming was stunned when he saw the picture at first sight. He liked this, so he could tell at a glance how high the quality of the wood carving was, and the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion on this fan ornament were very particular. Lin Qiang His mother is his aunt, so naturally her surname is Tang, and his lineage originates from the Tang family in Jinyang, which is the descendant of Tang Jian, Duke of Ju in the Tang Dynasty. It can be seen that Lin Yuediao gave him such an ornament, How many thoughts are there.
At this moment, he felt that all the energy and time he had spent on his cousin was... worth it in one word. All the grievances and anger I had felt were gone.
"what do you know!"
Just a moment ago, he was quite soft, but in the blink of an eye, as if he had been given a shot of blood, his whole demeanor changed, and he looked fierce with raised eyebrows and raised eyes.
"Tang Yuanming, what are you shouting for? Try to be cruel to me again."
"roll!"
"You chase me away, you actually chase me away? I'm suing you, don't regret it."
Wang Dingnan couldn't understand. Wasn't it just a broken wooden sculpture? It felt like someone had stepped on his tail.
Of course, she would not spoil him. After all, he was the one who called his father-in-law on the weekend and invited her back.
"Tang Yuanming, go over with your cousin!"
The king-top man stepped on the newly bought high-heeled shoes, opened the door with anger, and left.
"..."
Tang Yuanming was slightly absent-minded and a little irritable.
Gudu.
At this time, the phone vibrated, and another message popped up in the WeChat dialog box.
It turned out that Wei Lina saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time and thought that he regretted it after seeing the photo of the wood carving and was unwilling to help.
"Teacher Tang, how about... you can say something nice and pay less. My husband's company is not doing well, the old man at home is seriously ill again, and there is still a mortgage to repay. I... I'm almost dying of worry. ”
"How much does it cost? I'm talking about this wood carving."
"The reporter from Dongyang Evening News said that if we go through the evaluation process, there will be 80,000 or not 100,000."
so much? !
Tang Yuanming was also shocked. With his eyesight, he could tell that the photo above was a high-quality product. However, the fact that a first-year high school student could carve a wooden sculpture worth one hundred thousand dollars was completely beyond his reach. In order to gain his understanding, you need to know that among the collections he kept at his parents' house, the most expensive ones only cost 20,000 yuan.
…
after an hour.
Lin Dawei's family.
Wang Shengnan was sitting on the sofa barefoot, with his sleeves rolled up above his elbows. He was watching TV and chewing on a red apple. He was so happy that he really wanted to say something to her, but he was very self-aware of his ability to quarrel, so he could only hum a few words in a low voice and endure it.
Ding ding dong…
The cell phone on the coffee table in the living room rang.
Wang Shengnan swallowed the pulp in his mouth, picked up the phone and saw that it was his sister Wang Dingnan calling, so he pressed the connect button and put it to his ear.
"..."
"What? This Tang Yuanming is going too far. In this way, you will live at mom's place, and Jiaojiao will also be there, right? I won't see the child in a few days. I wonder how he can still be arrogant."
"..."
"You can't get used to a man. Just listen to me and leave him alone."
"..."
"Dad? If dad talks to you again, just say it was me."
"..."
"Okay, that's it."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Shengnan put on his slippers, walked to the bedroom door with a cold face, and looked at the man sitting on the bed with a scrutinizing look.
Lin Dawei felt terrified when she saw him.
"Top man's phone number?"
"right."
"What did you say?"
"I had a quarrel with Tang Yuanming and went back to my parents' house."
"Oh." Lin Dawei's reaction was not strong, because he was already used to what happened between these two couples.
"Why don't you ask why."
"Why?"
"For that man named Lin Yue."
Hearing the name, Lin Dawei was slightly moved and turned his attention from the laptop screen to her face: "Tang Yuanming's cousin who is very trouble-making?"
He still remembered what Wang Shengnan said when he came back yesterday.
A freshman in high school beat the vice-principal in front of all the teachers and students in the school. Who among ordinary children would dare to be so impudent? Do you still want to study?
Wang Shengnan said: "Yes, Tang Yuanming was suspended from school because of what happened yesterday."
"Lin Yue made a mistake and suspended Tang Yuanming? This...is a bit too much. Is it still fashionable to sit together now?"
"It's not considered a suspension. He is asked to persuade Lin Yue to post a clarification statement online."
"What's the meaning?"
"Yesterday, the video of the boy beating the vice-principal at the venue was posted online. I heard it was quite popular and became famous."
"Oh, let me see."
Lin Dawei lowered his head and went to operate the notebook.
Wang Shengnan wanted to complain, but didn't take it seriously. After saying that, he returned to the living room and sat in his original position. He picked up half an apple placed on the coffee table. After taking two bites, he realized that there was an advertisement, so he picked up the remote control. After changing the channel a few times, she was stunned when the channel changed to Fuzhou TV Station because she knew the young man sitting opposite the host on the TV screen.
That's right, it was the protagonist who just talked to Lin Dawei, that Lin Yue.
"Classmate Lin Yue, can you tell us how you felt when you were standing on the rostrum in front of all the teachers and students in the school."
"Well, how should I put it? Many people may already know that, as for me, if I followed the normal admission process, I could enter the elite middle school, but then the top scorer in the high school entrance examination from Jiangzhou District came over. I heard that in order to recruit him, the school also I was given a reward of 500,000, and I am not afraid of being laughed at. I am the last person in the grade who was squeezed out by the top scorer in the high school entrance examination." He laughed at himself on TV: "So, I had complaints about the elite high school. Later I heard that someone transferred to another school midway. When a spot became available, my dad asked an uncle of mine to help with the transfer procedures. This was a normal process and there was nothing to say. However, when I arrived at the elite middle school, I found that I still had not gotten rid of the influence of being the top scorer in the high school entrance examination. The school assigned me The dormitory was renovated from a utility room, and it happened to be facing the toilet. Everyone must know what this meant, and the top student in the high school entrance examination was obviously a day student, but the school broke the rules and allocated a bed to him. I was very angry about this, so I used the sentence "The elite school is not good enough for me" to vent my emotions, which directly caused the classmates in the class to become hostile to me. Then I went to the office to find the teacher and wanted to transfer to another class, but was told that it was not possible. I hit a wall again, and my resentment grew even stronger, because they kept saying that dividing students into classes according to their grades meant teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, but they did not give those who came from behind the opportunity to enter the experimental class. In anger, I went to the radio station and talked to the teacher. The conversation was broadcast for everyone to listen to. I admit that there was a little bit of anger in it, but the most basic idea is that what the school did was wrong, unfair, and not humane enough."
Lin Yue picked up the mug on the table and took a sip of water, and continued: "Who would have known that the school leaders not only failed to adopt my opinions, but instead gave me a probationary punishment and asked me to conduct a public review after the flag-raising ceremony on Monday. My cousin persuaded me to accept this fact, otherwise my parents would be very disappointed. I gave up for a while and wrote an in-depth examination. Do you know what my cousin said? He said that if I had such writing skills during the high school entrance examination, Chinese would be I won’t get that score, well, if you want to listen, I can recite it to everyone.”
The female host, who looked like an intellectual elder sister, smiled: "Classmate Lin, I see that you are not nervous at all when facing the camera. You are quite humorous. Have you had similar experiences before?"
Lin Yue shook his head: "After the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, there were more than a thousand students in front of me. That situation has come to pass. Now there are only you, me, and the photographer outside in the studio. I don't feel any pressure." .”
The female host said: "Yes, Classmate Lin, please continue."
"Actually, when I started walking to the rostrum, it was just like the execution ground. My palms and back were sweaty. But when I got the microphone and saw the faces below, the thought that flashed through my mind was that I don't want to follow them. Similarly, it is wrong to make a scene at the radio station, but I am doing this for everyone's benefit. Why can the top scorer in the high school entrance examination be in the front row, but I, the person who speaks for everyone, have to lower my head to check? If they don't speak for me, then I will do it myself. To be fair to myself, really, I don’t think it’s a curse, check your ****, this is a fair thing in my opinion, nothing more. Teachers often say that if you learn cultural knowledge well, you can better repay the society in the future. , to build the motherland, then since it is construction, we must update the old and turn the wrong into correct? Why not now? Why can't we start by changing the injustice around us? Confucius said, when three people walk together, there must be one teacher from me. Choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good. The Master also said, the future generations are to be feared. How could you know that those who come will not be what they are now? The Master also said, being unjust and getting rich and noble is like a floating cloud to me. These are the things that need to be read. Is it something that can only be understood after college? No need for it, right?"
He paused and then said: "This kind of thought occupied my mind. I asked myself over and over again why it couldn't work. I couldn't find the answer. All I felt in my heart was anger. Everyone knows the final result. Now that I think about it, , it is true that I shouldn’t hit someone at that time, no matter what time it is, communication is the best choice. I also saw some netizens urging me to admit my mistakes, but I think it is unnecessary because I have already paid for my mistakes and the school expelled me Well, there are still people who are worried that the vice-principal I hit will call the police to arrest me. If he had wanted to, he would have called the police long ago, and he has not done so until now. Then of course he has personal concerns. Well...if he had to find a reason , I wonder, maybe he thought that slap was enough without resentment? Haha, just kidding, just kidding."
Wang Shengnan looked at the half-grown boy chatting with the female host on TV, and felt a very uncomfortable tearing feeling. This sharp, outspoken, and occasionally cold humor really made him look like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child. Can I hold it?
"Don't tell me, the song accompanying this video is quite similar. A lonely brave person, a lonely brave person, is lonely enough and brave enough. Such behavior is naive and naive who has not experienced severe beatings from society, but still dares to think and dare. Those who speak out and act bravely can only be said to be benevolent and wise."
Lin Dawei walked out of the bedroom with his laptop in his arms. When he saw Wang Shengnan's expression was blank, as if he hadn't heard what he said and was just staring at the TV, he couldn't help but feel doubtful.
"What are you looking at? Are you so fascinated?"
Wang Shengnan glanced at him, pointed at Lin Dawei and said, "It's on TV."
"Who's on TV?"
"The surname is Lin."
"Is this Lin Yue?" Lin Dawei was surprised and walked to sit next to Wang Shengnan. However, he only glanced at the female host and Lin Yue, and the screen cut to the other side.
"Hello, classmate, I am Jiang Wan, a reporter from Fuzhou TV Station. Can I ask you a question?"
A female reporter with short hair held a microphone and interviewed a cycling boy wearing sportswear and carrying a schoolbag.
"what is the problem?"
"Have you seen the video of Jiangzhou Elite High School that is currently hotly discussed on the Internet?"
"Looked at it."
"Can you tell me what you think?"
"I think the school is not doing well. We cannot give a person privileges beyond those of ordinary classmates just because he has good grades, because the essence of education is to impart cultural knowledge, not a competition ground, let alone a fame and fortune fair. Otherwise, it will put the cart before the horse."
"Okay, thank you for your answer."
Immediately afterwards, the screen flashed and changed to another scene. Jiang Wan was standing under an office building, and the microphone was pointed at a woman in formal clothes. In terms of age, she was around 30 years old.
Same opening as the interview above.
"I know, I know, I saw another video just now, and you were in it."
"I?"
"That's right. When you went to the elite middle school for an interview, didn't you just catch up with classmate Lin who was kicked out by the school teacher?"
"Yes, that's what happened."
"His wood carving was damaged by his previous class teacher."
"Yes, it's a pity."
"I quite like that kid."
"Can you tell me specifically why?"
"The biggest reason is not that he did something that no one dared to do and had the courage to resist oppression. It was the copper money grass he put in his schoolbag. Do you know how cheap it is? But even if he was kicked out of school, it would take up space and be heavy. , he didn't throw it away, which reminded me of when I left my job, I didn't take anything, I just left with a pot of green radish. I think the popular saying on the Internet, "Smell the roses if you have a tiger in your heart", can be very useful. A good way to describe this tenderness.”
"Okay, thank you for your answer."
"Oh, by the way, that song is pretty good. I have a seven or eight-year-old nephew who can sing it after listening to it a few times."
The screen flashed again, with several more interviewees expressing their opinions on the video, and then it switched back to the studio.
Wang Shengnan stared at the TV blankly.
"Dawei, you said this matter is getting bigger and bigger...will it have unimaginable consequences for the elite high school? I kind of regret letting Miaomiao go to study there."
"..."
Lin Dawei didn't say anything, because even a fool could see that Xie Weizhou had hit a brick wall this time, and the elite high school had a bad reputation.
