Chapter 2: Mingling
Teacher Li hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "Niu Zhishu, I have to criticize you twice, now is a new era, not the old society, as the secretary of Niujia Village, you should take the lead in emancipating your mind, how can you set a bad example?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Li is right, I will take the lead in emancipating my mind in the future, and I will never engage in the old society again. ā
"Also, you can't beat your child like this in the future, even if the child makes a mistake, you should focus on ideological education, hitting can't solve the problem, only by telling him where the mistake is, can you correct his mistake." ā
Niu Dazhuang was a little unimpressed when he heard this, as the saying goes, "filial piety comes out from under the stick", if the child is not beaten honestly when he is a child, he will still have it when he grows up? Besides, can this stupid son understand ideological education?
In front of Mr. Li, Niu Dazhuang didn't dare to say what was in his heart, he nodded with a dry smile: "Intellectuals are intellectuals, and the ideological realm is much higher than that of me, if you were born a few years earlier, you will definitely be able to be the pen of a big-character poster." ā
Teacher Li smiled bitterly.
The people in the mountains are still very simple, but there are also some bad habits, such as outdated ideological concepts, very rough education methods for children, and so on. The mountain man in front of her didn't seem to take his words seriously, which made her feel helpless.
"Xiaoqiang, are you okay?"
Teacher Li squatted down and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood flowing from Niu Xiaoqiang's nostrils. Her movements are very gentle, bringing Niu Xiaoqiang spring-like warmth.
"IāI'm fine......"
Niu Xiaoqiang was moved and replied in a low voice, as soon as his voice fell, Niu Dazhuang on the side scolded: "Answer the teacher's question in a loud voice! Don't be as soft as a girl!"
Niu Xiaoqiang has long been accustomed to his father's rough voice, and he has not been affected in the slightest. But Teacher Li was different, she was startled by this sudden loud voice, and sat on the ground.
Niu Dazhuang saw that he was in trouble, and hurriedly helped Teacher Li up with apologies. He grinned awkwardly, revealing his front teeth that had become scorched because of long-term smoking: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I used to preside over the criticism meeting, the conditions in the mountains are poor, unlike the city where the criticism meeting is also equipped with a loudspeaker, I can only shout with my voice, no matter what I say for a long time, it is this big voice, and please don't take it to heart Mr. Li." ā
Teacher Li patted the dust on his buttocks, coughed twice before he spoke: "Niu Zhishu, although I allow Niu Xiaoqiang to continue to stay in school, but the injured student still has to explain, so let's go and apologize to others in person, Xiaoqiang was beaten like this by you, it is inconvenient to go with you, I will give him some medicine and let him go home." ā
Teacher Li handed the net bag containing the gift to Niu Dazhuang as he spoke: "By the way, take this away, I am a glorious people's teacher, and I can't accept things from parents." ā
Seeing this, Niu Dazhuang pretended to reach out to pick it up, but his body deliberately moved towards the door. When he and Teacher Li missed their position, they immediately dodged and ran out.
His voice was indeed very loud, and everyone had already run to the staircase on the first floor, but his voice came very clearly: "This is not a bribe, you can accept it, what are you polite to me?"
Teacher Li didn't expect that this rugged man in the mountains would have such a cunning side, and he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. In the past, she always thought that the mountain people were very simple, but now it seems that there is still a trace of philistine and cunning temperament hidden in the simplicity of the mountain people, which is quite surprising.
After being stunned for a moment, Teacher Li smiled bitterly and shook his head. She put the net bag on the table, ready to let Niu Xiaoqiang bring it back later.
"Xiaoqiang, come and sit down here, the teacher will give you some medicine. ā
"Oh. ā
Niu Xiaoqiang stupidly walked to the chair designated by Mr. Li and sat down, and then lowered his head and looked at his shoes in a daze. In front of Mr. Li, who is quite modern, Niu Xiaoqiang, a fool, can't help but feel ashamed.
The conditions in the mountains are very limited, and the children of each family are basically in rags, and there are more patches on their clothes than their pockets, as is the case with Niu Xiaoqiang.
He wears a vest with the slogan "How bold the man is, how productive the land is". There were several holes in the vest, and the material was very sparsely washed. Not to mention, it's really cool to wear in summer. Because the vest was too long, it covered the shorts that Niu Xiaoqiang was wearing on the lower half of his body, giving people the illusion that he was not wearing pants at all.
He was wearing a pair of Jiefang sneakers that clearly didn't fit his size, and there were many patches on them, one of which didn't even have laces, and it was unknown how his small feet could walk in such large shoes.
Teacher Li quickly took out the potion and cotton swab, "You raise your head a little higher, yes, yes, that's it, Xiaoqiang, you are a vigorous teenager, you can't always keep your head down and keep quiet, this will make you look dull, and you don't have the vitality of a teenager at all, you have to communicate more with your classmates and strive to mingle with everyone, understand?"
Teacher Li preached while rubbing the medicine, Niu Xiaoqiang first hummed angrily, and then sighed again, raised his head and looked at Teacher Li: "Teacher, didn't you, didn't you say that you can't fight with your classmates? Why do you let me fight and mingle with my classmates?"
Teacher Li explained with a smile: "The so-called mingling refers to a good relationship, not for you to fight with your classmates. ā
"Oh, I see. ā
Looking at Niu Xiaoqiang's expression, he obviously didn't understand.
Teacher Li had a feeling of playing the piano with a cow, she sighed secretly, and said in her heart: Such a child is really difficult to teach.
After applying the medicine, Mr. Li put the potion and cotton swab into the drawer, turned his head to look at the blazing sun outside the window: "The sun outside is too poisonous, you just take the medicine, and when you sweat, you will wash the medicine off, so the teacher will be busy in vain, you better rest in the office for a while before leaving." ā
Niu Xiaoqiang hummed angrily again, and Mr. Li didn't care about him, and lifted a piece of cloth on the table by himself, revealing a Sanyo (a large radio that can play tapes) that was originally covered by cloth.
This Sanyo is produced by Panasonic, and the price is a bit amazing, and ordinary people can't afford it, so it can be seen that Mr. Li's family background should be very good.
Mr. Li inserted Sanyo's plug into the jack, took out a tape from the drawer, stuffed it in, and pressed the play button.
A pleasant melody came out of the two small speakers, this song is Teresa Teng's "Sweet Honey", under the interpretation of Teresa Teng's gentle and sweet voice, Mr. Li feels that the scorching sun outside the window seems to have become softer.
