Chapter 10: Bodhi and the Mulberry Tree (3)
Many people may have done this as a child, which is to use other people's flaws as amusement to make a splash. For example: learn to speak with a stammer, learn to walk with a cripple, learn from a blind man to grope and walk, learn to babble with a dumb person and gesture, etc. This may be purely funny in the hearts of children, and it can make their classmates laugh. Is this purely childlike mischievousness, curiosity, or attracting the attention of peers in order to achieve the purpose of pampering? Perhaps all of these factors are present, but when children find such behavior interesting, often such seemingly unintentional actions become ridicule and blow in the eyes of defective children, making them feel inferior and stigmatized about their bodies. Because of low self-esteem, they begin to lack confidence in themselves, and they are afraid of everything they do. This kind of damage to the heart, if there is no one to guide them later, is very likely to become a lifelong injury. Some of the wounds of the soul can even ruin a person.
But how many children realize that what they find interesting behavior can cause harm to others? Or when they grow up and realize that their behavior is shameful, they no longer have the opportunity to say sorry, but can only become a guilt that will never fade in their hearts. Young children do not have the ability to judge their own behavior, which requires the education of parents to guide them to be tolerant and respectful in the face of defective people. When children are found to have such behaviors, point them out in time, let them understand the wrongness of their behavior, and correct and guide them.
In September of that year, An Su and Jingming entered the Fucheng Primary School, the closest to the village, and the two were still classmates. Gen-la Zhishan thought that although Jingming lived in a temple, he was never a monk, so he needed to be sent to school. If he grows up and leaves Myoboji Temple, then he will be able to integrate into society. Because his hearing is fine, he doesn't need to go to school for the deaf. Venerable Zhishan approached the local civil affairs department and waived all of Jingming's tuition and miscellaneous fees. In this way, Jingming took off the monk's robe that he had worn for three years, changed into ordinary clothes, and walked into the school like all school-age children.
Ansu is a child who can love the house and Wu, in her eyes, the little monk's every qiē is beautiful, and there is absolutely no reason to maintain her little monk. She would quarrel with the students at school who mocked Jingming, even in the face of boys taller than her.
Once, a boy in the next class laughed at Jingming for being dumb, and Ansu quarreled with him. The boy was arrogant, raised his hand and slapped An Su, An Su was so angry that he hit him directly against his head, and the momentum was definitely not lost to the bullfight. The boy had a lot of strength, grabbed her hair and pulled her down hard. Ansu did not show weakness, grabbed the boy's arm in a hurry, opened his mouth and bitten, and the boy who was in pain bent his knees and pushed her hard. In the end, the two children scuffled on the ground, and Jingming went up to try to pull the two apart, but found that they couldn't pull away at all. The onlookers were stupid and didn't dare to come forward to persuade them. In the end, I don't know who went to report to the teacher, and the homeroom teachers of both classes came over and pulled the two children who were scuffling together away.
Ansu was unkempt, a piece of her hair had been pulled off, and her mouth was stained with blood and dust. The boy was no better, covered in mud, bleeding from his arms, tears and snot in pain, and clutching a handful of Ansu's hair tightly in his hands.
If something goes wrong at school, you will inevitably have to ask your parents to come over. Ansu's grandfather apologized to the other party's parents one by one, but fortunately, the other party's parents were also reasonable people, did not pursue it, and taught his son a hard lesson. Although Grandpa An thought that it was right for his granddaughter to maintain pure light, it was wrong to fight, and punished her for writing "unity and friendship" 500 times.
Although An Su seriously wrote the "unity and friendship" 500 times, she still had no friends at school. That one became famous, and everyone didn't dare to provoke the girl named Ansu, and they didn't dare to provoke Jingming beside her. In addition to this, it is more because of the clarity.
This was the only time in Ansu's life that he had fought with someone. Although it was because of the maintenance of purity, he was not happy about it. This made Ansu very incomprehensible.
She asked Jingming, "You don't mind if people laugh at you?" ”
Jingming nodded seriously and told her: "All the bad karma created in the past was caused by greed and hatred without beginning. Born from the body, speech, and mind, every sin and obstacle is repented. This is my karma, I just have to repent and you don't have to care. ”
The little monk's words were too profound for An Su, and although she didn't understand, she still nodded. Her idea is very simple, as long as it is something that the little monk does not like, she will not do it.
Therefore, the teachers realized the need to guide the students to be tolerant and respectful in the face of defective people, and in response to such problems, the teachers gave the students a special lesson in the ideological and moral class.
Jingming's intelligence made the teacher especially like, but it did not make him popular among his classmates. His special situation made his classmates reluctant to play with him, and few children had the patience to guess his gestures. Not to mention the way of communication in writing, the children who have just entered the school can't understand what he writes at all except for Ansu, so Jingming's life is not much different from in the temple except for a group of peers around him. Fortunately, he was quiet by nature, and this qiē did not affect him much. In order not to make Jingming feel lonely, the lively and active An Su rarely plays with other classmates. It's just that those eyes will look at the girls who jump rubber bands and kick shuttlecocks from time to time. Whenever Jingming saw this scene, he would always signal her to go over and play with everyone. At the beginning, she also tried to leave Jingming behind and play with other classmates, but several times, when Ansu was dancing rubber bands with everyone, she always felt that it was not a good taste when she saw Jingming quietly looking at her from a distance. So she gave up playing with everyone and quietly stayed by Jingming's side.
Jingming is extremely intelligent, and he knows far more things than his peers. In order to be able to communicate with him, Ansu was unconsciously influenced by him, and he mastered much more knowledge than his classmates, so that these two children gave the teacher a headache. Because they understand what is said in class, they often don't listen to the class. Jingming is okay, Ansu always looks around in class, and he can't be idle at all. The teacher had no choice but to arrange these two special students to sit in the last row.
From the beginning of entering the school, Ansu and Jingming are almost inseparable, and the two are at the same table at school, and they also go together when they go to and from school. In the morning, Jingming went down early, and he waited for Ansu to go to school together at the entrance of the village. At the end of school, the two went home together. Separated at the entrance of the village, Jingmingmu sent Ansu home and then went up the mountain. When two people are on duty, Ansu is always playing on the side, and the hygiene is cleaned by Jingming alone. He has no opinion and always finishes with a smile.
Ansu's most annoying homework is copying new words, especially boring homework such as copying a word ten times repeatedly. Because all the words that Jingming came into contact with before came from scriptures, and the scriptures were basically traditional characters, so An Su learned from him all traditional characters. At the beginning of school, Ansu still did her homework honestly, but for those simple and boring copying homework, she really didn't have the patience to write, so she simply didn't write. Or I would have written the simplified characters into traditional characters like a prank, but the writing was neat and there were no typos, and the Chinese teacher was so angry that he had nothing to say. After a long time, the Chinese teacher didn't force her, if she didn't write, she wouldn't write. The purpose of copying the words is to make the students recognize the words, and since she knows them all, she simply turns a blind eye.
Later, a new teacher was assigned to the school, and this teacher knew sign language. Jingming's special situation made the teachers at the school know him, so he quickly attracted the attention of the new teacher and offered to teach him sign language. Ansu also studied with him, and he studied very seriously. She soon fell in love with the unique and beautiful language of sign language. In her opinion, sign language is the most beautiful language in the world. Especially when Jingming used his hands to sign softly, she looked at it so stupidly, and her face smiled like a blooming flower. Since then, the communication between the two no longer requires pen and paper. The scene of the two communicating in sign language has become a beautiful scenery on campus.
