Chapter 143: I'm Back
Early the next morning, Principal Zhou had already gotten up and washed. He didn't fall asleep for almost a night last night, looking at his old self in the mirror, Principal Zhou couldn't help but sigh.
Since today, County Magistrate Zhang and Director Mo will come to visit the middle school in person, and at the same time, they will personally come to commend Ling Chen's righteousness and bravery, and award certificates and certificates to the three good students. Therefore, last night, Principal Wan has already begun to assign tasks, and early this morning, the teachers in the school are busy, preparing for several leaders to come, after all, this is a big day related to the honor of the school.
At this time, Ling Chen was running on the road, since the cement road was built, the traffic in the village was much more convenient, and there were no more cases of old people and children wrestling on the road.
Ling Chen also ran to the mountain where he was grazing cattle yesterday afternoon, because he felt that the mountain road there was relatively steep and rugged, which was very suitable for exercising, and it was also very convenient to practice fighting skills and martial arts on the mountain.
Around 9 o'clock in the morning, the family had just finished breakfast. A few teachers came in the small courtyard, and when Ling Chen saw it, it turned out to be Principal Zhou, Teacher Lin, and Teacher Li, the director of teaching, and the three of them greeted Ling Chen's father with a smile. Seeing Ling Chen walk out, the faces of Principal Zhou and Director Li quickly stiffened and turned pale.
Principal Zhou summoned up a lot of courage to come to Ling Chen's house, and he also knew that coming to Ling Chen's house this time would lose all his majesty and face. Ironically, yesterday Ling Chen also pointed to his face and said that he had to come to invite Ling Chen back to school in person, he had always thought it was a big joke, but he didn't expect that in less than a day, what Ling Chen said would come true.
If Principal Zhou didn't know about Ling Chen's family, he would definitely think that Ling Chen was leading all this, and complained to the county leaders, thus putting pressure on himself. But Ling Chen is an ordinary peasant family, how can he get the attention of a big man like the county magistrate? All of this is incomprehensible to everyone.
Ling Chen's parents still have a lot of respect for the teacher. So he hurriedly moved out of the stool and asked Principal Zhou to sit down with the two teachers. My father immediately took out a cigarette from the room, handed it to Principal Zhou and Teacher Li, and enthusiastically prepared for my mother to cook. Because the teacher came so early, he must have not had breakfast yet.
In order to save time, Principal Zhou politely stopped the kindness of Ling Chen's parents. After all, the leaders will come to the school before 12 o'clock today to inspect and present awards to Ling Chen, so the protagonist must be brought back, otherwise the leaders will come by then, and Ling Chen has not returned to the school, and no one can afford the consequences.
"Ling Chen. Today, I, Principal Zhou, and Teacher Li came to invite you back in person, so you can give the teacher me a face and go back to school. Teacher Lin took Ling Chen's hand and said softly.
"Yes, Ling Chen." Teacher Li should be kind.
Principal Zhou's face turned blue. A burst of whiteness. He gulped down his cigarette and began to cough violently, and it took him a long time before he slowly calmed down.
Ling Chen didn't speak, letting Teacher Lin take his hand, his eyes looking straight at Principal Zhou.
Principal Zhou was a little afraid to look into Ling Chen's eyes. He took another hard puff of the cigarette and threw the cigarette butt to the ground. He let out a long breath. Sitting in his chair, his body tensed, as if he was making some kind of huge decision at the moment.
Principal Zhou turned his head, looked at Ling Chen in front of him with cloudy eyes, and finally slowly spoke: "Classmate Ling Chen, I persuaded you to quit yesterday because I was angry at the time, so please don't take it seriously." Today, I personally came to inform you that the dismissal resolution is invalid, so I and your homeroom teacher, Mr. Lin, have come to personally invite you to go back and continue the class. Principal Zhou said, his cloudy eyes seemed to be a little dull, and his eye circles were also a little red. He sighed, his heart full of mixed feelings.
Ling Chen looked at the old man in front of him and said soft words to himself personally, and his heart must have been under great pressure. However, Ling Chen knew that Principal Zhou came under pressure from the leaders, and he also came to keep the position of the principal, and to be able to do this, Principal Zhou must have also made great courage.
"Okay." Ling Chen looked at Principal Zhou and responded lightly. Although he has torn his face with Principal Zhou, and Ling Chen is usually very ashamed of some of Principal Zhou's actions, Ling Chen still has to respect the old man and respect a good teacher in the past. Therefore, Ling Chen will not embarrass Principal Zhou very much today.
Hearing Ling Chen's answer, Principal Zhou and Teacher Lin were both relieved, as long as Ling Chen could go back. Teacher Lin was very pleased, so the strength of Ling Chen's hand increased slightly.
At this time, the father came out with a small table, and then personally showed his tea art to several teachers to show respect for several teachers.
Principal Zhou stood up from the stool, and then said sincerely to his busy father: "Brother Ling, I was in the beginning yesterday, so I said that Ling Chen had no tutor, and I apologize to you here." ”
"This, Principal Zhou." My father was agitated and a little at a loss. "Principal Zhou, we accepted your apology, so, you relax your mind, we won't take it to heart, and Ling Chen is in the school, please Principal Zhou, you can teach more." The father smiled and said, hoping that the atmosphere would be more harmonious.
Ling Chen slowly approached Principal Zhou and said calmly, "Principal Zhou, I also had something wrong at that time, and I shouldn't have competed with you, so please forgive me for not respecting the teacher." Ling Chen began to apologize to the old man and gave him the stairs, in all fairness, Ling Chen also made a mistake at that time, and he shouldn't quarrel with the school leaders.
When Ling Chen said this, the atmosphere on the scene completely eased. Teacher Lin and Teacher Li both had happy smiles on their faces. The head teacher, Mr. Lin, also got up, walked to Ling Chen's side and patted Ling Chen's shoulder.
"It's still a good student to know that you can change your mistakes."
Principal Zhou glanced at Ling Chen in some surprise, his eyes showed a hint of brilliance, originally he thought that after he bowed his head to Ling Chen and apologized, with Ling Chen's disgust for him, he would definitely sarcastically ridicule him, and even he was already ready, but he didn't expect Ling Chen to apologize to him and give him a step, not at all like the character who competed with him in the school office yesterday. Thinking of this, he sighed heartily in his heart, Ling Chen was still very mature, sensible and would be a man.
"Yes, I also ask Principal Zhou to forgive my family Ling Chen for being ignorant." My father said, and then he poured tea for several teachers.
Since Ling Chen agreed to return to school, and apologized to Principal Zhou, the atmosphere was relatively harmonious, and when several teachers saw their father's skillful craftsmanship, their eyes lit up and they all admired Ling Chen's father's tea ceremony.
"Good tea!"
Hearing the praise from the teachers, my father laughed happily.
Ling Chen returned to school, just after the end of the third period. Some sharp-eyed students saw Ling Chen coming back with Principal Zhou and Teacher Lin, so the news quickly spread throughout the campus like the wind.
Ling Chen is back!
In less than two minutes, when Ling Chen and Teacher Lin were about to go back to the classroom, they were surrounded by classmates from the school, some of whom were in the lower grades, but most of them were in the third year of junior high school.
"Ling Chen, you're back."
"Boss, you're finally back."
“”
Sincere smiling faces and greetings surrounded Ling Chen. Mr. Lin also saw all this in his heart, so he couldn't help but feel emotional.
Slowly, there were more and more people around Ling Chen, and they could almost get through, and some of the teachers in the past couldn't help but feel that Ling Chen's personality charm was great. At the same time, the leaders of the school couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that Ling Chen had finally returned.
"Ling Chen, you're back." At this time, Chen Kexin heard the noisy sound outside the classroom and walked out curiously.
Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding to get out of the way, Ling Chen saw Chen Kexin smiling skillfully, a delicate and innocent face showed a happy smile, and Ling Chen's eyes were full of cheers.
Ling Chen was stunned for a moment, looking at Chen Kexin, as if he had been hit by Chen Kexin again, so he looked straight at Chen Kexin's moving smile and forgot to say hello for a while.
"Wow!" The surrounding classmates laughed, looking at Ling Chen and Chen Kexin, they were all coaxing.
"Well, I'm back!" Ling Chen came back to his senses and said with a smile to Chen Kexin.
For the jokes of her classmates, Chen Kexin, who has always been down-to-earth and generous, was a little ashamed, and even a delicate and innocent face blushed. So, she nodded at Ling Chen, then turned around and went back to the classroom.
"Thank you, students." Ling Chen sincerely thanked all the students who cared about him, "May our friendship last forever like a rock!" ”
Back in the classroom, Ling Chen's seat was full of classmates, all of whom expressed their joy at Ling Chen's return. There were even some bold girls who didn't need to go through an intermediary at all, so they threw the letter directly on Ling Chen's desk, and then hid their faces and left.
Chen Xiangliang and a few guys began to coax, and in an instant, the whole classroom seemed to explode, all of them were joking and laughing, even the girl who handed over the love letter just now laughed.
The only unhappy person may be Chen Kexin, she looked at the love letter on Ling Chen's desk, and there was a righteous and awe-inspiring urge to move out of the school rules and discipline, but she still held back.
Soon, the fourth class was in session, and some of the students reluctantly returned to their seats. Ling Chen whispered to Chen Kexin next to him: "Don't worry, I won't read the letter, and I won't reply to the letter." ”
Chen Kexin heard Ling Chen's words, her delicate face turned red with shame, but fortunately she lowered her head in time, which could hide her shyness and embarrassment.
