Chapter 8: Changing Schools
After his mother left, Chen Hansheng seemed to have lost his soul, and he was in a trance all day long, like a dream. Occasionally, when no one was around, Chen Hansheng ran alone to the path at the head of the wall, looking into the distance. His mother had promised that she would come back to visit him.
There are many such things, and the family is not at ease. The grandmother pulled him back from his trance, and said to him, "What do you want from your mother if she doesn't love you?
The young Chen Hansheng, of course, didn't know that this was a statement from his grandmother in desperation, but took it as a real thing. From then on, he began to hate his mother, and at the same time slowly broke off that thought and continued to go to school.
Chen Hansheng, who went to school and studied, had good grades, but because he made a mistake in an arithmetic problem, he was named by Teacher Chen and stood in front of the whole class. Teacher Chen took out a brick and asked him to kneel on a pile of stones and hold the brick with his hand.
Chen Hansheng, who had never been hit by such a punishment, could grit his teeth and endure it at first, but then he couldn't bear it anymore, so he threw away the brick at once, got up from the ground, and wanted to run out, and declared again and again, "I won't read this book anymore!"
Teacher Chen quickly grabbed him, and in front of the whole class, first gave him a few whips, and then continued to punish him for kneeling and lifting bricks in front of the whole class, and said that he would be punished until the end of class.
Chen Hansheng, who was kneeling and holding a brick, gritted his teeth, and let the tears stimulated by the pain keep falling down, and he didn't say a word. Teacher Chen originally only planned to punish him for a while and then tell him to get up, but Chen Hansheng couldn't stand up, and Teacher Chen felt that this was not an ordinary species, and he was even more afraid that if this matter spread, it would make Chen Hansheng's grandmother angry, so Teacher Chen called him up again. Chen Hansheng still didn't get up, and it wasn't until the end of class that Chen Hansheng got up from the ground by himself, then picked up his schoolbag and ran home in one go.
After returning home, Chen Hansheng threw himself in front of his grandmother and cried bitterly, and cried and told about Teacher Chen's punishment for kneeling on stones and lifting bricks.
When Xie Chunxiang heard that her grandson was holding a brick and kneeling on a stone, she immediately felt so painful that she couldn't do it, she opened Chen Hansheng's pants and saw that Chen Hansheng's knees were full of blood marks, Xie Chunxiang said very angrily, "What kind of teaching is this? This is clearly rectifying people! Wholesome adults, wholesome children, not bullying people?"
"I don't read anymore!" Chen Hansheng took the opportunity to say his thoughts.
"Books must be read!" said the grandmother, "if you don't read, how can you have a way out in the future?"
"I don't read!" Chen Hansheng said, "It's too hard to study, and you have to kneel on stones and lift bricks!"
"If you don't endure hardship, it will be difficult to make a master!" the grandmother took the opportunity to take out an ancient precept.
"I'm not going to be this Venerable Master!" Chen Hansheng said.
Xie Chunxiang knew that Chen Hansheng would not accept this idea for a while, but she still hoped that Chen Hansheng would be good at persuasion, and hoped that Chen Hansheng could continue to go to school. Chen Hansheng cried and shook his head, saying that he would not go to school at all.
Xie Chunxiang had no choice but to report this matter to Chen Huaguo. When Chen Huaguo heard that Chen Hansheng did not want to study, he was as angry as he heard that the prisoner had violated the new law, and he came over and bluffed and forced Chen Hansheng to go back to school in the afternoon.
Chen Hansheng glanced at Chen Huaguo hatefully, new hatred and old hatred came to his heart, he immediately swore that he would not go, and there was a stalemate confrontation between father and son.
The onlookers came over, and those parents who had been physically punished by Teacher Chen all stood up for Chen Hansheng, and pointed out that Teacher Chen was actually a person who was ruined by the outside world, and he had almost no ability to beat students and beat his wife. Although I read a few sentences, I stammered unclear when I started the class, and I couldn't leave school early at every turn, just because I wanted to mix bowls of rice.
Xie Chunxiang also felt that Teacher Chen was not a reliable person, so she said, "If that's the case, I'll change schools with my grandson!"
When Chen Hansheng heard about changing schools, he immediately said, "I'll go to another school!"
Chen Huaguo also knew that Mr. Chen was not a real teacher, and said, "It's okay, just try to change schools with him." ”
The implication is that if Chen Hansheng still doesn't study well in another school, it is not the teacher's fault.
During the meal, Xie Chunxiang took the initiative to discuss with Chen Huaguo about Chen Hansheng's change of school.
If Chen Hansheng didn't want to, let him go to Teacher Xu on the other side to read it. Xie Chunxiang took the initiative.
Chen Huaguo said, "If the locals don't go to the local school, will other schools accept it? Besides, the school on the other side of the river is not a county." ”
"What are you afraid of if it's not a county?" Xie Chunxiang said, "That Teacher Xu is not a living person, I have seen it many times, although he looks evil, he is also a kind person." Almost none of the students who came out of his hands were reborn. ”
"What should I do here?" Chen Huaguo said, "The tuition fee has already been paid, and I am afraid that it will not be refunded." ”
"If you don't retreat, you won't retreat. Xie Chunxiang said, "Let's not talk about Chen Hansheng's change of school, and then ask him to go to school in the afternoon, and then ask him to change schools when I have said the school there." ”
"I don't!" Chen Hansheng jumped out and said, "I don't go to Mr. Chen's, I'm going to wait until I go to Mr. Xu!"
"No!" Chen Huaguo said, "This is a matter handled by adults, you have to listen to adults!"
Chen Hansheng looked at his father with fear and disgust.
"Obedient!" Xie Chunxiang said, "It's not that you are asked to study here for a long time, just for a few days, and as soon as you say it over there, you will go over!"
"Then hurry up!" Chen Hansheng said, "If you don't hurry up, I won't go! Three or two days at most!"
"Do you still dare to make conditions to adults?" Chen Huaguo was very unhappy, and felt that Chen Hansheng's son's courage was a little fat.
Chen Hansheng ignored it.
"Okay!" Xie Chunxiang said, "I'll go find Teacher Xu in the afternoon!"
When it was dark, Xie Chunxiang came back on tiptoe. Xie Chunxiang was happy, and as soon as he came back, in front of Chen Hansheng, he said to Chen Huaguo and Chen Caomin, "Teacher Xu is really a good person, he agreed as soon as I opened my mouth, but I am afraid that Teacher Chen here will have ideas." ”
"I have to say hi here, too. Chen Huaguo said, "The mountains don't turn around, maybe one day they will find him, he is not like others, he loves to hold grudges." ”
"Except for him, he won't study?" Xie Chunxiang took this opportunity to vent his resentment against Teacher Chen's beating of his grandson, "There is a shortage of other people in this world, and I am afraid that there will be no shortage of teachers who teach! There are many teachers who are better than him! He just made some connections and mixed in to make a bowl of rice." ”
"Okay, good!" Chen Hansheng jumped up with joy, "I can change schools tomorrow!"
"Look at your joy!" Xie Chunxiang said with a smile, "It's like renewing my life!"
The next morning, Xie Chunxiang asked Chen Huaguo to send Chen Hansheng to Teacher Xu, and she personally ran to Teacher Chen and directly said about the change of school.
Teacher Chen didn't expect things to be like this, this head was too bad, he hurriedly said to Xie Chunxiang, "Please forgive me for the inappropriateness!
"There's no way to slap your face. In Xie Chunxiang's heart, there was still the anger of Teacher Chen punishing his grandson, and he said, "It's not all what we adults mean, it's that the child is afraid of you and doesn't want to go." ”
Teacher Chen sighed and walked into the school angrily.
When school was out in the morning, as soon as Chen Hansheng came back from school, he saw Xie Chunxiang rubbing his feet there. Chen Hansheng asked, "Milk, what's wrong with you?"
Xie Chunxiang said with a smile, "It's not because of you that I let my thin feet run around, and my feet hurt!"
"Then I'll rub it with you?" Chen Hansheng said, quickly rubbing his grandmother's feet with his hands.
While rubbing it, Chen Hansheng asked his grandmother, "Milk, why are your feet different from others? Other people's feet are big feet, why are your feet so small?"
"Don't ask these questions, children, you can't tell me a word or two!" said the grandmother.
Chen Hansheng was about to ask, "Milk, why do you still have such a big meat mound on your feet?"
"It doesn't hurt!," said the grandmother, "just talk a lot! Read well, read more, and you'll know what's going on with your little feet!"
Chen Hansheng couldn't understand for a long time, what does his grandmother's feet have to do with him studying hard?
When Xie Chunxiang was enjoying Chen Hansheng's foot rubbing, a woman came over and said to Xie Chunxiang, "I'll tell you a big secret, but you can't say that I said it!"
