Chapter 9 Teacher's Day
There are always differences between people and people, even if they all come out of the big school of the army.
In the past, when Peng Fei was in the first and second grades, he had no concept of the festival of Teacher's Day. It's just that the day before, the teacher will announce to the students, "Tomorrow is Teacher's Day, and I will leave my homework for you on a day off." ”
And when the children hear that tomorrow is a holiday, they will unconsciously whisper a cheer, "Oh, tomorrow is a holiday." "I only seem to care about my own vacations, and I never think about whether to express myself to my teachers.
Later, when Peng Fei reached the third grade, he seemed to have a little awareness of Teacher's Day. When I saw some students making greeting cards for the teacher by themselves, I also clumsily made a greeting card by myself. Just the day before, I handed it over to the teacher. Although, it can be said that he didn't do very well, but the teacher held those greeting cards and seemed to be smiling happily. When I was in the fourth grade, the class also made greeting cards for the teacher. However, Peng Fei felt that his craftsmanship was really unavailable, so he didn't give it away.
Besides, any teacher who had taught me before had never asked the students to send me greeting cards, or how to do anything. They always demand that they complete their homework on time; Remember to preview the text; To memorize the passages of the lessons...... Therefore, now seeing that Teacher's Day is approaching, and seeing that some students are making greeting cards and buying greeting cards, Peng Fei is still indifferent.
The day before Teacher's Day, the students who had prepared greeting cards offered their hearts to the teacher before school. But when he saw the head teacher, Mr. Tan, he took the greeting card with a smile, sandwiched it in his book, and then left the classroom with a smile.
On the first day after returning from the Teacher's Day holiday, at the class meeting in the afternoon, Teacher Tan stood behind the podium and asked his students, "Students, do you know whose holiday Teacher's Day is?" ”
"It's a teacher's holiday." The following replied in unison.
"So how did Teacher's Day come about, you know?"
"......" was suddenly dumbfounded.
"Hey, it looks like none of you care about me." Teacher Tan said with a slight mockery: "I'll tell you about it." In 1985, the Ninth Session of the Standing Committee of the Sixth National People's Congress agreed to the State Council's proposal on establishing Teachers' Day, and the meeting decided that September 10 of each year would be Teachers' Day. This is the origin of Teacher's Day, do you know it? ”
"Got it."
"Do you really know? I don't think you really know. People must know how to be grateful, as the so-called drinking water and thinking about the source can not forget the roots! I've worked so hard to stand here to give you lectures, and I have to suck chalk foam every day, and I shout at you every day, and my throat is about to split. When I go back to the office, I don't want to be idle, but I also have to judge your homework and prepare for your classes, is it easy for me. Some of my classmates were so stupid that they couldn't understand what they said once, and they had to ask me to talk there over and over again, and they didn't give me a penny. I don't even know what's going on on Teacher's Day, and I still expect you to be grateful, what to reciprocate, bullshit...... (10,000 words omitted here) will make a few pieces of paper that don't even love ignition to fool me. Looking at the fifth (third) class, the class leader organized the whole class to save money to buy a large handful of bananas for the teacher, each of which was so long and thick (he also used his hands to make a comparison); A classmate in class 5 (2) bought a large pot of calla lilies for the teacher and placed it on the windowsill of the office, which is very beautiful...... (10,000 words are also omitted here). What about you, a pack of white-eyed wolves!! ”
In this way, the whole class meeting turned into a grievance meeting for Mr. Tan and a criticism meeting for the students. After the bell rang, the students pulled their faces one by one, pouted, and walked out of the classroom listlessly with their schoolbags on their backs. After being lectured by the teacher, or scolded, no one will be in a good mood. Peng Fei even saw tears hanging from the corners of the squad leader's eyes; I heard a girl who was delivering a greeting card muttering, "It's better not to send it." ”
And Peng Fei himself was not in a good mood, "Did everyone really do something wrong?" Do you have to give gifts to teachers on Teacher's Day? Is it true that only expensive or delicate gifts can express one's heart? With this doubt, Peng Fei pushed the cart out of the school gate.
At the school gate, he saw Zhang Wei. It seems that only Zhang Wei is very calm in the class, and Mr. Tan's words don't seem to have experienced a trace of waves in his heart.
"Zhang Wei, wait a minute."
"Peng Fei, why didn't you leave with Wei Guo today?"
"That kid was sick today and didn't come. By the way, did you send a greeting card to Mr. Tan? ”
"Nope."
"I didn't send it either. Why did you say that Mr. Tan was so angry today, just because he didn't send him something better for the sake of all of us? ”
Zhang Wei smiled at Peng Fei, that kind of smile was a kind of smile that was not commensurate with his age and disproportionate, as if he had insight into everything and knew everything in his heart after seeing through the red dust. "He's not here for anything, he feels like he's losing face in front of his colleagues. The reason for his loss of face is that the greeting cards we sent were not as good as the gifts given by other classes to their teachers. In other words, this kind of person has a strong sense of vanity. ”
Zhang Wei's words were a little bit of a waking up dream for Peng Fei at that time, "Yes, you are right." Peng Fei agreed: "I heard that Mr. Tan used to be a soldier, but Mr. Li, who used to teach me in the fourth grade, also used to be a soldier, but he is not like this." You said that they were all people who also came out of the army, how could this be? ”
"People are inherently different from each other, even if they come out of the army. It's just that the discipline in the army is very strict, and under that kind of iron discipline, I'm afraid no one dares to make a mistake. And once you leave the army, you return to your true nature. At this time, you can see who is the Buddha and who is the demon. ”
"Yes, you hit the nail on the head. But how can you see things so thoroughly, why can't I? ”
"Because I don't have friends, of course before, and now I have you as a friend. So when I'm fine, I like to read extracurricular books or newspapers at home. I once saw a report in the "Legal Daily" about a man who came out of the army and used the skills he had learned in the army to do some illegal things, and was later arrested and put in prison. So it has nothing to do with whether or not you came out of the army, it's a human problem. ”
