Chapter 13: The Leak of the House
Sitting in the principal's office, Lemon lowered her head like a schoolboy who had done something wrong and was preparing for training.
Liu Dandan and Yang Hu quarreled in class, and then both of them left the school, and before the class bell rang, Ma Jinsong and the principal had appeared at the door of the classroom in the third grade at the same time.
Next, Ma Jinsong began to half-pacify and half-educate the students, and Ai Mengmeng followed the principal to his office.
After only sitting for a few minutes, Ma Jinsong walked in quickly: "I asked the students to study on their own first, it's not a big deal, the students are fine."
"It's a small incident for a student to suddenly quarrel in class and leave the school without permission?" Chen Mingren looked serious.
"It's not the first time that Liu Dandan and Yang Hu have left school without permission, I'll go to these two students in the afternoon to have a good talk."
Seeing that Chen Mingren's face was softened, Ma Jinsong looked at Ai Mengmeng and said in a soft tone: "Teacher Ai, you don't have to blame yourself too much for this matter today, Liu Dandan and Yang Hu are originally problem students......"
"Jinsong, pay attention to the wording!" Chen Mingren suddenly interrupted Ma Jinsong's words.
"Oh, I was wrong, these two students are more difficult to manage, they are both fifteen or sixteen-year-old children, not only rebellious but also have their own opinions, and the children of this period are really not easy to discipline."
Listening to Ma Jinsong's words, Ai Mengmeng raised her head and looked at him.
"Director Ma, thank you," Ai Mengmeng said the words of thanks, but her heart was sad.
She knew that Ma Jinsong was comforting her, and what happened in her class today showed that Liu Dandan and Yang Hu didn't take her as a teacher at all, and she felt extremely frustrated again.
Seeing Ai Mengmeng's expression of self-blame and frustration, Ma Jinsong felt very distressed.
"Principal, Teacher Ai just came to our school, and asked her to teach the second and third grades of junior high school with more homework, especially the third year of junior high school or the graduating class, I think this is a bit difficult for Teacher Ai, should we rearrange Teacher Ai's curriculum?"
Ma Jinsong's words softened Chen Mingren's expression, which had always been serious.
"Teacher Ai, what Director Ma said is also reasonable, I also think it is really hard for you to let you lead two grade classes, but the school is now lacking a teacher with strong professional ability like you, Teacher Ai, I still have to make you more tired."
Qingfeng Town Middle School is not very large, it is said to be a middle school, but in fact, primary schools are also included, there is only one class in each grade, and there are only more than 300 students and teachers in the whole school.
There are only four English teachers in the school, including Ai Mengmeng, two each in the primary and secondary schools, and in the secondary school are Ai Mengmeng and Qiu Fang, Qiu Fang is pregnant, and the school takes care of her and only lets her teach the first grade of junior high school, while the second and third grades of junior high school are taught by Ai Mengmeng.
Ma Jinsong explained these situations to Ai Mengmeng when arranging the course.
"I didn't feel hard, and I wasn't afraid of being tired, but I hadn't been a teacher before, and I didn't have any experience, so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to teach well," said Ai Mengmeng, who had been worried about her heart for the past week.
"Teaching experience is accumulated, every teacher is from inexperienced to experienced, Mr. Ai, you don't have to worry too much about this, communicate with other teachers more, if you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask Director Ma more," Chen Mingren said softly.
Chen Mingren did not reprimand her, but encouraged her like this, which moved Ai Mengmeng's heart: "Principal, I know, I will learn more from other teachers."
Ai Mengmeng didn't ask for a reduction in the class, which made Chen Mingren breathe a sigh of relief: "You still have classes in a while, right?" “
Ai Mengmeng nodded: "Yes, the third class will be for the second class of junior high school in a while."
"Then you can go back to the office and do some pre-class preparations."
"Okay, principal, Director Ma, then I'll go back to the office too," Ai Mengmeng stood up and walked out of the principal's office after speaking.
"Headmaster, you know that she has no teaching experience, and you still arrange so many courses for her, what if you scare people away?" As soon as Ai Mengmeng left, Ma Jinsong fought for her.
"The situation at the school is not clear to others, and you still don't know? There are only two English teachers in the middle school, she and Qiu Fang, Qiu Fang is like this now, you say that if you don't arrange for her to teach, can you still find someone else to teach? Chen Mingren's face rose again.
"But it's too hard for her......"
"Director Ma, don't bring personal feelings into your work, you must distinguish between public and private, she came to our school to teach, just to learn and accumulate experience, now her teaching experience is insufficient, so you need to be the director to teach and help her."
Seeing that Chen Mingren put on the principal's shelf, Ma Jinsong knew that Chen Mingren was going to give him an ideological education class again.
"Understood, the principal is right, I will help Teacher Ai more, I still have work to do, go out first," Ma Jinsong said and walked out quickly.
"This kid is getting more and more slippery now," Chen Mingren looked at Ma Jinsong's disappearing figure, and a smile appeared on his serious face.
Before she could sit down when she returned to her office, the teachers who had been asking her questions in the morning surrounded her again, asking her questions like bombers.
What happened in the classroom was not complicated, and Ai Mengmeng finished what happened in a few words.
"I guess it's Liu Dandan and Yang Hu, two students, who have been in love since junior high school, and the current children are too precocious," Wu Hongmei said after listening to Ai Mengmeng.
"Puppy love?" Lemon was confused.
"Teacher Ai, you still don't know? These two students are in love, and the whole school knows about it, and these two ......," Wu Hongmei said.
"Teacher Wu, this matter is unfounded, please don't jump to conclusions," Jiang Jingmei, who had been sitting in her position and had not spoken for a long time, suddenly interrupted Wu Hongmei.
"That Liu Dandan read the love letter he wrote to Yang Hu in front of the whole class, Teacher Jiang, isn't this still a basis?" Wu Hongmei asked Jiang Jingmei rhetorically.
Ai Mengmeng's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this, she didn't expect such a thing between Liu Dandan and Yang Hu, and she didn't expect Liu Dandan to be so bold.
"Teacher Wu, I will handle the affairs of our class," Jiang Jingmei did not answer Li Hongmei's question just now, but replied to her lightly.
"Teacher Jiang, you are the head teacher of the third class of junior high school, and there have always been some unpeaceful things in your class in the past two days, Teacher Jiang, you should really take care of it," Wu Hongmei glanced at Jiang Jingmei and said.
"Thank you Teacher Wu for reminding me," Jiang Jingmei lowered her head and ignored Wu Hongmei.
Wu Hongmei looked at Jiang Jingmei and snorted lightly, but did not say anything more.
Ai Mengmeng looked at the two of them in a bit of a daze, she had already noticed that Wu Hongmei always seemed to be deliberately targeting Jiang Jingmei, and she didn't know what unpleasant things happened between the two.
"Teacher Ai, the next class is our English class, right?" Wu Hongmei looked at Ai Mengmeng, and her face had changed to a smile.
"Yes," Ai Mengmeng nodded, she knew that Wu Hongmei was talking about the second class of junior high school, because Wu Hongmei was the Chinese teacher of the second class of junior high school and the head teacher.
"The students in our class are very sensible and obedient, I have introduced you to them yesterday, and I specially told them that you must be respected, you can rest assured to go to class, if any student dares to disrespect you, you tell me after class, I will criticize him fiercely," Wu Hongmei said with a sincere face.
Ai Mengmeng didn't expect Wu Hongmei to take care of her like this, and she was moved in her heart: "Thank you, Teacher Wu."
"Thank you, we are taking care of each other, class time is coming soon, you go and prepare," Li Hongmei turned around and returned to her place after speaking.
Ai Mengmeng also walked to her desk, took the textbooks and lesson plans for the second class of junior high school, and left the office.
Wu Hongmei is right, the students in the second class of junior high school are indeed very sensible and obedient, from the time Ai Mengmeng walked into the classroom to the end of class, no student made any noise or made it difficult for her, and the whole class went smoothly, which made Ai Mengmeng feel a lot more relaxed.
As soon as she walked into the office and sat down, Meng Meng suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her lower abdomen, and she stood up sharply and rushed into the bathroom.
A few minutes later, she came out of the bathroom and, instead of returning to the office, hurried out of the school.
The weather was gloomy early this morning, and the forecast was that it was going to rain, but it didn't rain all morning, but I didn't expect that as soon as Ai Meng got out of school, the rain began to fall, and the bad thing was that she didn't even think about getting an umbrella when she rushed out of the office just now.
Ai Mengmeng was in a hurry to go back to her residence, she looked up at the sky, the rain was not too heavy, she decided to run back in the rain.
When she trotted all the way into the gate of Chen's mansion, she was already out of breath, she stopped, reached out and patted her chest and gasped for air.
"Mengmeng, why did you come back? Yikes! Why are they all wet? Chen Qingxue happened to come out of the kitchen, and when she saw that Ai Mengmeng's clothes and hair were almost soaked, she stepped forward and pulled Ai Mengmeng to the bottom of the corridor.
Ai Mengmeng looked around and saw that there was no one else, and whispered a little embarrassed: "My eldest aunt came suddenly, this time two days in advance, I didn't put the preparations in the bag, just now I saw that the skirt was dirty, I came back to change clothes."
"You're still in the rain when this comes, and you don't know how to take care of your body at all, you go back to your room and take a hot shower, and I'll help you make a cup of brown sugar water," Chen Qingxue turned around and walked to the kitchen after speaking.
Lemon walked quickly to the door of the room where she lived, after yesterday's incident, she felt that there was no need to lock the door when she went out, and she didn't lock the door again when she went out this morning.
She reached out and pushed the door in, quickly found something to change, took another set of clean clothes and pants, and was about to go to the bathroom, when the door suddenly rang.
She walked to the door, opened the door, and saw Chen Qingxue standing at the door.
"Mengmeng, I forgot just now, the water pipe was overhauled today, the water at home was cut off, and the water would not come until the afternoon, so you can't take a bath," Chen Qingxue looked at her and said.
"Huh? Why is the water out today! What can I do? "Ai Mengmeng has a feeling that the house leak is raining overnight.
Guessing that she would have such an expression, Chen Qingxue couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, I'll take you to a place, and you put the change of things and clothes in a bag."
"Where to go?" Ai Mengmeng asked as she found a bag and put everything in it.
"Just follow me," Chen Qingxue pulled Ai Mengmeng out of her room, and the two walked out of Chen's mansion together.
