Principal Cheng Bin was not at ease, and insisted on accompanying Teacher Wang to He Xiaomao's house to apologize to the influential entrepreneur in his hometown. Teacher Wang repeatedly said that there was no need to go so many people, and that He Xiaomao's father was actually still his student, so could he beat him and scold him?

This is still not a common place in the countryside. A two-story building was built on the basis of a village that was three times the size of the ordinary farmer's allotment, and a passenger and cargo car was parked in the yard, which smelled of gasoline, and the debris and waste piled up in the yard no longer had the color of an ordinary crop yard, but were all scrap tires, gasoline barrels, large piles of lumps of coal, and useless cloth of various colors in the corner. He Shecang heard the sound and greeted him, shouting the words "welcome, welcome", and introduced the three teachers into the sofa with a good texture in the reception room of the east suite room on the ground floor. He Shecang opened the refrigerator, took out a few bottles of soda, opened the lid, and gave each of the three teachers a bottle.

Principal Cheng Bin shook the bottle and didn't drink it, and just opened his mouth to say, "Director He, let's come to ......" was interrupted by He Shecang's wave, He Shecang was arrogant and hearty: "Principal Cheng, Teacher Wang, Teacher Liu, I know why you don't come or not." I don't want to mention it, I already know it. My little hair is not a thing, I just trained him. Let's talk about friendship and nothing else. In the end, he appropriately and inappropriately quoted a line from Hatoyama in "Red Lantern", and then instructed the woman who had just walked in the door: "Our Xiaomao's teacher is also my teacher, it's a rare meeting, you get a few dishes, I'll drink a little with my teacher." The woman was probably worried about the child's business, but she couldn't open her mouth, turned around and walked out.

Principal Cheng tried to introduce the topic of apology again, but He Shecang was a little annoyed: "It's always Xiaomao who is not a thing, this kid is too bold, he dares to do anything, and he dares to say anything." When I was his age, I was very timid, scared like a little mouse when I went to a crowded place, and shy when I saw people - Mr. Wang knew it all. This kid didn't know how to be scared and shy...... Let's not mention him, let's ......."

Teacher Wang felt more and more panicked, and finally said what he wanted to say: "Shecang, I slapped Xiaomao, I'll ...... it"

He Sheha's face flushed: "Teacher Wang, if you hit him, you will be beaten! I often reward him with a slap in the face." This kid is annoying, I know. I've been in your class for two years, and you haven't been angry with me...... Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. Shall you visit my shoe factory?"

He Shecang led the three teachers to visit the production workshop on the first floor, where rows of special sewing machines were installed to roll shoe uppers, and in another room were shoe uppers were cut. The night shift had begun, and the hired rural girls were concentrating on rolling their uppers without lifting their heads.

He Xiaomao's mother had already prepared the dishes, and He Shecang led the three teachers back into the reception room, poured the wine, all of which were five-star brand beer, and repeatedly said humble words, Tsingtao brand beer had just finished drinking. Then he gave the chopsticks to the three teachers one by one and urged them to eat and drink.

Mr. Wang drank two glasses of beer, and after a while, his face was red, his head was dizzy, and his feet were light, he just had a breakfast today, and his empty stomach couldn't withstand the stimulation of high-quality brand-name beer, and he was a little out of control.

He Shecang drank a big glass of wine and sighed: "I only drink with the three teachers, and my heart is honest, hey, hey!"

Liu Wei couldn't hear the hidden meaning, and blinked dumbfounded.

He Shecang said: "Teacher Wang, I still sometimes dream of studying in front of you...... How many years have I still dreamed of it! I was so shy when I was a child! I am not afraid of being ashamed now, and I am bold. My kid Xiaomao doesn't know how to be scared and shy! I think it's cuter for a child to be shy......"

Teacher Wang seemed to be struck by an electric spark, drank the yellow and clear beer in the toast, threw down his chopsticks, and echoed loudly: "Yes, yes, yes! He Shecang, children are a little shy and cute! I hate the little fritters that have become oily and slippery at a young age." As he spoke, he stood up, slapped the principal Cheng Bin with his left hand, slapped Liu Wei on the shoulder with his right hand, and then looked at this, and then looked at that, and suddenly his nose twitched, and two lines of old tears flowed down, stretching out his trembling hand, as if giving a speech, "Actually, it's not just children! Shouldn't I, you, our school, and our whole social life preserve a little cute shyness?"

The three of them were a little stunned, suspecting that Mr. Wang might be drunk.
