On the morning of Hong Jian's departure, he took Qi Yun and handed her to the principal, Hong Jian leaned over, nodded at the principal with a smile that Qi Yun recognized as flattery, and said, "Principal, my sister is young and ignorant, and if you stay here, you have to take care of the old man everywhere." ”

The principal was actually very useful, smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, nodded and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, don't worry." ”

Qi Yun's nose was almost out of breath. But the matter has come to this, and it is useless to fight for a while, so he simply nodded to the principal with a high profile, but without looking in the mirror, Qi Yun can also know that his face must be cold over the Arctic Ocean at the moment.

Sending away the Hong Arrow, Qi Yun walked in front with the lesson plan without saying a word, and the principal was silent, following her with a sigh, still holding the sheep whip in his hand that made Qi Yun have a headache when he saw it. Qi Yun encouraged himself, I endure it, I endure it, I endure it. She pretended not to see it, and walked along the potholed village road towards the school, and the old trees on the side of the road "croaked", startling a jackdaw.

Qi Yun was taken aback, raised his head and watched the bird fly away in a daze, the principal just caught up, Qi Yun's afterglow swept to the sheep whip in his hand, and suddenly the anger in his heart hit up, and the resentment that he had endured for a few days couldn't help but collapse at this moment.

Qi Yun stood still and called stiffly, "Headmaster." ”

"Huh?"

The principal agreed, and stopped and looked back at Qi Yun.

"...... are you," Qi Yun pointed to the sheep whip in his hand, "You want to go to the classroom with me?" ”

The principal did not deny it, and nodded smugly: "No, our children here, it's still not okay not to scare the study." ”

Qi Yun lowered his head and forcibly suppressed the anger that was about to erupt, and tried to speak as well as he could:

"Headmaster, I can't take care of other classes. But my class...... Still don't want you to do that. ”

The principal was stunned for a moment, looked at Qi Yun, and actually didn't object, muttering:

"Okay, it's up to you. But I'm just walking around the classroom — just outside and I don't go in. ”

Qi Yun's face was ugly, but he didn't say anything, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, leaving the principal behind as much as possible.

She walked into the classroom and found it full of students. Qi Yun was angry and funny, since Hong Jian used a loudspeaker to declare that he wanted to pick up the chicken nests on the day he beat it, there were no more parents of students who defy the law and did not let their children come to school. In addition, the figure of the principal carrying a sheep whip is haunted outside the classroom, and even the famous naughty child like Benwa is not in class and wants to go out to play.

But Qi Yun didn't have much joy of victory in her heart, because she soon found that she was teaching in Mandarin, and the students couldn't understand it very well, and some students fell asleep when they were in class; There are also students who eat broken soybeans and make small movements. There was even a boy who had been in half of the class, and suddenly raised his hand to ask for relief, Qi Yun judged whether he was not deliberately making trouble or indeed because of internal urgency, so he had to agree, but he didn't expect the boy to open the classroom door and walk out, and he actually ripped off his pants on the edge of the school playground, squatting in the grass pit to defecate, while raising his face and smiling at the classmates in the classroom.

Qi Yun is suffering from setbacks almost every day, but she can only insist on teaching, and now she can only use this belief to encourage herself: as long as students come to school every day, they can absorb some nutrients more or less, so as long as she persistently waters, no matter what, it will always be beneficial to the growth of students.

However, she does often feel uneasy about the stubbornness of her students' resistance to absorbing nutrients. What's more, some bad habits are contagious, and when a student does this, and the teacher does not stop it in time, this phenomenon may spread like a ripple in the classroom, and even set off a storm after all.

Unlike other children who sleep in the classroom mostly and hold a book up to cover their faces, Benwa dozes off in the classroom, but sleeps on her back like she is in his own home. Seeing this, Qi Yun couldn't help but feel angry: to say that most of the other children were so tired that they were squinting in the classroom for a while because they had to take on heavy housework after returning home, although they shouldn't, it was somewhat understandable; Ke Benwa's parents work in a big city in the south, and the economic conditions can be said to be the best among the students in this class; Benwa's parents send a sum of money to the uncle and aunt who are responsible for raising him every few months, which seems to be quite a lot of money in the eyes of the villagers, which makes Benwa's aunt and uncle love him with a hint of flattery.

As soon as he thought of this, Qi Yun couldn't help it, walked towards him amid the snoring of Ben Wa sleeping on the table, and knocked his desk vigorously with his knuckles.

Benwa rubbed her eyes and woke up, saw Qi Yun, and muttered dissatisfiedly:

"What for?"

"What do you ask me for? Now what is this doing, you know? What were you doing last night? ”

Ben Wa was not afraid, and looked at Qi Yun with a pair of black and arrogant eyes, and said:

"Yesterday, Hei gambled with Shunwa in the village and played all night."

Qi Yun laughed angrily, this Ben Baby! He really deserves to be a gentleman and frank! She confronted him, "Why don't you go home and sleep if you want to sleep?" ”

Benwa shook her shoulders, and a scoundrel smile appeared on her face and said:

"The principal won't let me. Again...... I'm afraid that you, teacher, will pick up my chicken coop. ”

Qi Yun turned and walked back. Ben Wa's words made the whole class who was trying to hold back their laughter just now couldn't help laughing anymore, but Qi Yun had tears in her eyes, she felt sad, and she couldn't tell who it was for. But now that she had learned to control her emotions well, by the time she returned to the podium again, her expression had calmed down, and she continued her lecture as if nothing had happened just now.

Benwa found that Teacher Qi Yun was not as easily irritated as at the beginning, and because of this, this confrontation game was not as fun as it was at the beginning. So he designed a new game, and after class, he caught a few insects wrapped around his body with dead leaves on the old tree next to the classroom, which is commonly known as the "hanged ghost", and then suddenly stuffed it into the collar of Yuqin's clothes at the same table while he was in class.

Yuqin, a girl who grew up in the countryside, was not necessarily very afraid, but after all, she was taken aback, and she was in full view of everyone, so she couldn't help but scream, and then her face was so embarrassed that she blushed to the base of her neck in the eyes that everyone quickly gathered.

Contrary to Yuqin, Ben Wa, who was also watched by everyone, was triumphant, holding her head high like a victorious rooster. Qi Yun was furious, pointed at Benwa from the podium, and shouted, "Benwa, you stand up for me!" ”

Benwa stood up lazily, with a hint of triumph and cunning in his eyes, he stood up and asked:

"Teacher Qi, you called me?"

Qi Yun bit his cheek like a toothache and reprimanded him: "Why are you bullying female classmates?" Afraid that Benwa would ask knowingly again, Qi Yun made a preemptive move, so he pointed at Yuqin, whose face was flushed and her eyes were full of tears, "Oh, you put the worm on Yuqin and scared her like this!" ”

What Qi Yun didn't expect was that Benwa didn't even have a hint of justification, he nodded generously, still smiling.

"What's wrong with me bullying him? Is Yuqin my daughter-in-law? ”

This sentence was like a stone thrown into the water, stirring up a thousand waves, and for a while the whole class grinned mysteriously, only Qi Yun was stunned and couldn't react and asked:

"What did you say?"

Benwa tilted her head and smiled at her, no longer explaining. The children in the class were agitated, laughing one after another. Perhaps because of the early marriage in the countryside, the seemingly ignorant rural students have a special familiarity and sophistication for this kind of thing, and in the midst of everyone's laughter, the plump Chun Fen stood up and explained mysteriously to Qi Yun in a tone that belonged to an adult woman:

"Teacher Qi, Yuqin is really Benwa's daughter-in-law, the given baby parent in the family."

In Qi Yun's stunned expression, the children continued to coax: "Benwa cares about her daughter-in-law!" Benwa cares about her daughter-in-law! ”

The coaxing was higher and higher, and Benwa smiled like a victorious general who was admired and supported by all the people, and he coughed and said:

"Teacher Qi, I'll clean up my own daughter-in-law, what's okay?"

As if deliberately trying to consolidate and show off her victory, Ben Wa poked Yuqin's finger vigorously:

"Daughter-in-law, tell me, it's okay for me to bully you, right?"

Yuqin was stabbed by Benwa and trembled, shrank back hard, and lay on the desk with a red face, her shoulders twitching silently, she should be crying.

Qi Yun's small universe was so agitated that he stretched out his hand without thinking about it and slapped the lectern with a "snap".

After this slap, Qi Yun didn't feel how much pain his hand felt, but his heart hurt very much. She felt sad, helpless, and confused, what should she do? Although this slap temporarily shocked the students and stopped the laughter of the whole class for a while, what should I do next? Confused, she stood on the podium with a painful and numb hand.

The classroom door was suddenly slammed open with a very imposing "bang", and the black-faced headmaster strode in. The whole class raised their heads and looked up at him blankly, don't look at the principal's stature, usually old and rickety, but as soon as he walked in, the aura of the entire classroom was changed.

"What are you doing? What's all the noise? ”

The headmaster pulled his face and looked around, and the students quickly fell silent. The headmaster strode over to a sleeping boy and slapped him on the back of the neck, knocking him off the bench he was sitting on. The boy woke up rubbing his eyes, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, peeked at the principal, and sat up straight in his seat without saying a word.

Qi Yun couldn't figure out how the boy slept quietly in the classroom just now, and he was not affected in the slightest, which was really strange. At this time, the principal walked towards Benwa again, don't look at Benwa, who is usually not afraid of the sky, but under the pressure of the principal's gaze, she really looks a little stunned, her neck is slightly shrunk back, and she turns a pair of black eyes, which seems to be thinking about countermeasures.

The principal's voice was not loud, but the gloomy face made Qi Yundu feel a tingling of power, and he snorted and asked Benwa, "You don't have a good class, what are you doing?" ”

With her hands hanging down at her thighs, she replied, "I didn't have a good time in class." ”

"You haven't done well yet? Huh? The principal raised the whip and pointed at Benwa's nose, Benwa's body shook back and stood firm, and the principal said angrily: "What are you doing to me these days?" I'm watching you out the window, and every day you sleep like an old sow with a cow in the pen, humming and humming endlessly, and today is even better, bringing the bugs to the classroom! The classroom is where you play with bugs, isn't it? Huh? ”

The principal's analogy was peculiar, and the whole class, including Qi Yun, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so they had to endure it hard. The headmaster pointed his whip at Benwa and asked him, "Do you know what's wrong?" ”

Benwa lowered her eyes, and Mu Ran replied, "Got it." ”

"It's good to know!" The headmaster still roared angrily, "You stand on the table for me!" ”

Hearing this order, Qi Yun and the students were stunned. Ben Wa, who was the person concerned, couldn't believe her ears, stared at the principal in a daze, and asked, "Uncle, what are you telling me to do?" ”

The principal waved his hand, "Who is your uncle?" You don't study well, and you still call me uncle? ”

He pointed to the table with the head of the whip and repeated solemnly with a straight face:

"Stand on the table for me!"

Benwa rubbed for a moment, looking at the principal's continuous blue face, knowing that today's punishment must not be able to escape, so he had to slowly climb onto the table, just when he straightened up from the table and stood up tremblingly, the class heard a few laughs that could no longer be suppressed. The headmaster glared back, and the laughter faded away.

"Read! Read the text! ”

The principal roared and threw the language book to Benwa, who rubbed the pages and asked:

"Which one?"

"Persuasion!"

Benwa flipped through the book in a hurry, and it took a long time to barely find the article "Persuasion". He glanced at the principal, and saw that the latter's face was solemn, so he had to pull the male duck's throat and read:

"The gentleman said: Can you learn...... ......"

Qi Yun hurriedly corrected aloud: "You can't learn, it's already your own, it's not your own." ”

"The gentleman said: It's not okay to learn."

Benwa continued. "Persuasion" is a Tang Dynasty Han Yu written a prose, not to mention many rare words, the unique rhythm of the ancient text is also a child reading aloud for the first time is difficult to grasp, but seeing that the principal has been staring at himself menacingly, he does not dare to be lazy, the voice is sometimes loud and small, the rhythm is fast and slow, there are a lot of white word typos, and the mud and water are recited very much. Qi Yun was already sweating profusely just by prompting and correcting him.

"Mountains of soil are accumulated, and wind and rain are prosperous; The water becomes an abyss, and the dragon is born; Accumulate goodness into virtue, and the gods are self-satisfied, and the sacred heart is prepared. Therefore, if you don't accumulate silicon steps, you can't even thousands of miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. Qi Ji jumps, can't take ten steps; Ten crosses of horses, the work is not relenting. Perseverance, rotten wood does not break; Perseverance, gold and stone can be carved ......"

Gradually, Benwa's voice began to be regular and smooth, although there were inevitably words that he didn't know and mispronounced, but he and all the classmates gradually immersed themselves in the text. The rare good sun in winter shone into the classroom, and the fine dust swirled and danced in the air, and there was suddenly a certain atmosphere close to holiness in the classroom, which moved Qi Yun's heart.

It was easy for Benwa to read a text from beginning to end, and the principal listened with his eyes closed, and nodded with satisfaction. He flicked his whip and walked back to the podium, pointing to the students:

"Who else wants to go to school on a table? Huh?! Do you want to? ”

The students replied in unison, "No!" ”

"Will you make trouble for the teacher in the future?"

"Don't mess around."

"Do you still sleep in class?"

"Don't sleep."

The students answered in unison, and even Benwa, who was still standing on the desk, answered in unison. When the headmaster heard this, he proudly raised his chin and rolled up the whip with his hands.

"Good! This is what you said yourself, don't make trouble in class, don't sleep...... Teacher Qi, you take your class well, and if you are still making trouble and sleeping next, you tell me. I still have a way to fix them! ”

Qi Yun was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer. But apparently the principal didn't need her answer, he looked up at Ben Wa, and roared again:

"Stand up for me! When is school out and when is it down! ”

After saying this, the sheep whip was put behind his back, and he walked out of the classroom with his hands behind his back with his hands in a sign similar to Uncle Benshan's "Egg Pulling".
