Volume 1 Chapter 30 A Letter from a Stranger
In this contest, Geng Xiaoqing lost completely. The college entrance examination is about to begin, and she is afraid that there will be any more moths, so she reluctantly does what Teacher Meng said.
In the office, after apologizing, Geng Xiaoqing always turned her eyes to the side, she didn't want to see Teacher Meng's smile, let alone the posture of a winner.
Teacher Meng didn't care, and after Geng Xiaoqing asked angrily, "Are you satisfied?" with a smile, she smiled and shook her head. Geng Xiaoqing immediately rolled his eyes, and was about to ask how to torture her, but Teacher Meng said: "I can force you to be more sincere, but no matter how I force you, you will not sincerely apologize, so doing so will only increase our conflict." It's not easy for you to do this, I don't want to make it difficult for you, don't waste your time, go back and study!"
And that's the end of it?
Geng Xiaoqing's mind turned several times, she couldn't guess Teacher Meng's thoughts, she was actually being led by the nose.
"Xiaoqing ......"
"What's wrong again?"
"Don't be distracted by your father's affairs, I'll try to solve it, he is your parent after all, I can find him. Also, don't care about the gossip that circulates among your classmates, they don't make any sense. ”
What are you talking nonsense? Geng Xiaoqing lifted the corners of his mouth disdainfully.
"I don't usually say things that I'm not sure about, but if I say it, I can do it. Teacher Meng looked confident, and urged: "Let's go! ”
Is this woman making things difficult for herself, or is she helping herself?
Geng Xiaoqing encountered such an unpredictable opponent for the first time, which made her feel very frightened.
Teacher Meng didn't say anything more, at the end of the evening self-study, she walked into the classroom, saying that she was going on a business trip this weekend, in addition to explaining the class affairs clearly, she also told her - the port city has not been peaceful recently, especially the students who live in the three villages of happiness, they must pay attention to safety, and day students must go to and from school together. In order to strengthen the safety awareness of students, Ms. Meng also made a "Notice to Strengthen Safety Management" and asked students to sign it.
Don't look at Mr. Meng's age, he really manages students, but he is very experienced. Tong Tong handed it over very cooperatively, he looked at Teacher Meng with a smile, and thought to himself that every time she emphasized the "Happy Three Villages", she was worried about him.
He does not listen to any explanation and does not accept any refutation.
That weekend, it was true that Mr. Meng went to the field, but it was a fake business trip. The reason why she went to the field before the college entrance examination was entirely because of an email, an email that made her excited.
Since she took the initiative to find relatives for Tong Tong, she has cast a wide net for more than half a year, but there has been no progress, and she is also a little suspicious of her own efforts. Just when she was a little burned out, an email crept in and lifted her spirits.
"Teacher Meng:
Hello, I am Wang Xiumei, the principal of the First Affiliated Kindergarten of Beijing Normal University. Recently, I attended a seminar and heard a lot of discussions from teachers in Hong Kong City, saying that a teacher in Hong Kong City was investigating a child trafficking case more than ten years ago, and they all received an email from you.
Although this incident has set off a storm in the early childhood education community in Beijing, most teachers have not taken it seriously, and probably no one has investigated it. Even the emails you wrote to me were classified as "spam", and I found them after hearing them discuss them.
Honestly, even if I read your email, it won't necessarily help you. But I was touched by your dedication, and as a teacher, I admire your dedication to your students. So I remembered it for a long time, and it seems that I have found some clues, and I don't know if it will help you, so I just don't mislead you.
Sixteen years ago, in 1995, I had just started working in the nursery class of the kindergarten affiliated to the National Normal University. At that time, there was a child in the class who was weaker than the other children, and his name was like a girl, called Shu Yutong.
He was too young at that time, and all indicators were backward, and the leaders did not recommend that we accept it. But his parents are really not easy, they are poor graduate students, studying part-time, and raising children, so we still accepted him. He is very well-behaved, timid, and afraid to speak, and my colleagues and I take good care of him, and they all say that he is more quiet than girls.
At that time, his father joked that everyone thought he was a girl, so the items prepared for him were all pink and the name was more girly. Everything was ready, just waiting for the birth, but when a boy came, the whole family was disappointed, and the child's mother cried. The things prepared continue to be used, and the name is too lazy to be restarted, so let's raise it as a girl!
If I'm not mistaken, when Shu's father made the introduction, he said with a smile: 'In the past, in order to look forward to boys, they all named girls Zhaodi, but now they give their sons a little girl, maybe they can look forward to a little sister in the future!'
Dad Shu made us laugh, but even so, he still loved his son very much. Shu's mother is very busy at work, so most of the time it is the father who picks up the children. Every time he saw him, Dad Shu squatted on the ground, clapped his hands, and shouted at him, 'Hey, buddy, how was your day?'
In those days, there were very few fathers who came to pick up their children, and even fewer fathers who could call their children brothers. Shu's father looks very gentle, wears glasses, and looks like a reader, but he loves to laugh and is full of patience with children, so at that time, our young teachers were very envious of Shu Yutong's mother, and some people even regarded Shu's father as a standard for finding a partner.
The reason why I remember it so clearly is not only because of Dad Shu, but also because the boy is really beautiful. Although he was congenitally deficient and often called in sick, he was more delicate than girls of the same age. He has a shy personality, but he is very lovable, the teacher loves him, and the children in the same class do not bully him. It can be said that in the nursery, he is also pampered.
I have been a teacher for so many years and have brought countless children, and Shu Yutong is one of the children who impressed me the most. Not only because of his name, but also because he is good-looking, the main reason is - he is a little musical genius. He rarely speaks and is not good at communicating with other children, but when he was just two years old, he was able to play "Little Star" very smoothly, and we teachers were very surprised.
Plus, his mom was special. It is said that she is a piano teacher, not only full of art, but also has the temperament of a big lady. She specially asked us not to let Tongtong show his piano level too much, let him play if he wants to, forget it if he doesn't want to play, don't force him to perform in front of everyone, and don't brag about his strength with other parents. There are too many examples of "hurt Zhongyong" in this world, she doesn't want her son to become a tool for boasting, she just hopes that he can grow up safely according to his wishes.
If other children have any strengths, most parents will show off, so Shu Yutong's mother's remarks surprised us. At that time, I also asked my students in the Chinese Department what kind of story "Hurt Zhongyong" was. After understanding, I have to admire this mother's foresight and her good literary accomplishment. So, although I only took Shu Yutong for a few months, I was still very impressed with him and his parents.
It seems that in May of that year, Shu Yutong's mother went through the procedures for him to leave the park, saying that there was an accident at home and she wanted to take Shu Yutong back to her hometown.
Although I was reluctant to keep this child, there was no way to keep him. Later, I heard from other parents that Shu Yutong's parents could not be contacted at all, and there should have been a big change in his family, because Shu Yutong's mother borrowed money from a parent.
According to the parent, Shu Yutong's mother is a very principled person, even if it is a small matter such as picking up the child, she will send pastries to thank her. In 1995, 200 yuan was a lot of money, and if she was good, there was no reason why she wouldn't pay it back.
I still heard from the parent that someone later came to Beijing to deal with the house left by the Shu family, but in the face of the neighbor's questioning, the visitor was always silent and refused to disclose any information.
That's probably the thing, you're looking for a kid named tongtong, and I immediately remembered Shu Yutong, who always called himself "tongtong" at that time. We taught him all day long, but he insisted on calling him "Tongtong". We were in a hurry, and of course, we also thought he was cute when he couldn't talk well.
You are a very responsible teacher, I admire your dedication and patience, and I hope that the information I provide will be helpful to you. If you want to look through Shu Yutong's information, I will try my best to help you find it, and I hope you will come to Beijing to talk about it. ”
After reading this long email, Mr. Meng first contacted Officer Niu and asked him to recall if anyone had looked for the child "Shu Yutong". Niu Changqing didn't have time to praise her, so he immediately investigated. Mr. Meng bought a plane ticket and decided to fly back and forth on the weekend. Niu Changqing sighed: "Teacher Meng, for Tong Tong, you really put all your money and time into it. ”
"It doesn't matter if you get in there, as long as you can see the payoff. Teacher Meng's smile was extraordinarily bright: "However, there are only a few days left before the college entrance examination, and this matter still has to be hidden from Tong Tong first, so that he can prepare for the exam with peace of mind." If we really help him find his biological parents, it will be a gift of adulthood from us!"
The two of them agreed and went their separate ways. That Director Wang was also enthusiastic, and took great pains to contact the parent who Shu Yutong's mother had borrowed money.
Although the parents are all five years old, enough to be Teacher Meng's aunt, Teacher Meng still sweetly calls her "Sister Zhou", and Sister Zhou is really happy and receives her warmly.
Sister Zhou took out a bunch of thick photo albums, and while looking for photos of her son's childhood, she said: "It's been so long, I have forgotten what Shu Yutong's father's name is, but I remember that his mother's name is Su Zishan." ”
Teacher Meng hurriedly recorded it on her notepad, and when she heard the name, she suddenly raised her head. Sister Zhou asked, "What's wrong?"
"Are you sure her name is Suzishan?"
My son has been learning piano with her for a few days, and he cries out every day that he wants Teacher Su to be his mother, because Teacher Su is gentle and beautiful, and the children like her. You know her, too?"
Teacher Meng said vaguely: "There are many people with the same name! ”
In short, Shu Yutong's father is mediocre, and his mother is the kind of person who stands in the crowd and shines...... Ah, I found it, there are very few photos of Toban, and there are no group photos, but there are a few photos of the event...... I'll take a look, hey, it seems that this is Shu Yutong!"
In a group of children jumping on the grid, Mr. Meng locked on a little boy at a glance, and he stood obediently to the side with an innocent smile on his face. He didn't look like Tong Tong at all, but it was very strange that Teacher Meng saw him standing on the edge at first sight, and her eyes never left him.
