Chapter 99: Good Intentions (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Outside the closed steel gate, two guards stood like sculptures, the guards with guns did not squint, the wind swept the rain, the rain fell under the pavilion, most of the guards' uniforms were already soaked, and the trouser legs were dripping with water. Still www.biquge.info they looked indifferent, and if it weren't for the purple lips on their young faces, perhaps no one would have noticed that they were suffering from the cold.
Just when the two young guards were confronting the wet cold, two guards of the same age walked out of the side door next to the gate, they stepped forward, silently changing their posts, as in the past, without a sound, the soaking wet guards carried their guns and walked into the courtyard wall.
After a few autumn rains fell, the weather became colder and colder, and in the towering courtyard walls, the playground was no longer visible to the people who were training against the wind and rain in the summer, let alone the powerful commands that burst out of their voices. The clammy autumn rain drove everyone back into the classroom.
In the classrooms of Chung Hwa schools, children of all ages are mostly in class and in cultural classes, and although they have to undergo two hours of military or physical training every day, this does not prevent them from taking cultural classes, and even more than ordinary primary school students, their schoolwork is more arduous - six days a week, and they also have to participate in volunteer service on Sundays.
On weekdays, military training and sports such as soccer, softball, basketball, boxing, rowing and other sports are also draining the energy of the teenagers. Even so, not only can they not delay their normal coursework, but they also need to take courses such as "Political Economy". Li Jiaguo, John? Muller, Jean-Baptiste? Say, Thomas? The theories of famous economists such as Malthus. The issue of capital and tariffs in the current economic life is discussed. Besides. The children often debated issues such as "the Chinese navy should be expanded," "Hawaii should be annexed to China," "whether the Manchus should be overthrown immediately," and social reforms. By debating the pros and cons of the debate, students will be able to learn some tricks that are no longer just about debating theoretically and logically.
In general, as the Chung Hwa School admired, the heavy workload constantly challenged the will of the teenagers, and as much as the Spartan life they practiced, it tested the teenagers and sharpened their character, but nevertheless, all the students had to strictly adhere to the school's prescribed schedule throughout the day. Dress appropriately for group dinners. The collar should be as straight as the principal's, and leather shoes should be worn.
Walking in the corridor of the teaching building, as a school instructor, Li Nanlin's expression was a little indifferent, in this school, because of the implementation of the "senior system", so that the senior students have the right to call the younger students, although there are strict school rules, but adults rarely directly intervene in the students, more through the management of the senior seniors, so as to cultivate the students' sense of responsibility. That's why. The roles of instructors and teachers have been marginalized to some extent.
However, this does not prevent instructors from inspecting the school, as they do now. Although more often than not, the maintenance of school discipline depends on seniors, not instructors.
Walking to the door of a classroom, through the small window on the door, Li Nanlin could see several desks on both sides of the classroom podium, obviously a debate was going on, those teenagers who were only about ten years old were arguing with each other, and the teacher was acting as a referee on the side.
ββ¦β¦ The annexation of Korea to China as a province is directly related to the strategic security ...... of the Northeast region."
In the "political economy" class, those teachers can always bring new topics to the students, because his younger brother is studying at the Northeast Political Science and Law School, so Li Nanlin is no stranger to this subject, and can even be said to be very familiar with it -- almost every day, he can see his younger brother imitating debates in front of the mirror, and most of the topics debated have a lot to do with politics and economy.
Thinking of his younger brother arguing in front of the mirror, and then watching these children arguing fiercely, Li Nanlin couldn't help but shake his head.
"There's a class for elementary school students to let college students!"
Whispering so softly in his mouth, for Li Nanlin, because his younger brother as a college student also learns this course, it will be a little difficult to accept this.
But on the other hand, watching the heated debates in the classroom, watching the teenagers express their opinions in their immature voices, although their views seem a little naΓ―ve, Li Nanlin will not doubt that by the time they reach university, these children, most of whom are orphans, may really become the elite of this country.
Walking forward thoughtfully, when passing some classrooms, you can see that some of the children in the classroom are taking self-study classes, it is because of the rain, for them, this late autumn cold rain means a rare relaxation, and sometimes the teachers are willing to let them enjoy the relaxation of that class.
"Huh?"
Just as Li Nanlin was walking upstairs, he smelled a faint smell of tobacco, because of smoking, he can be said to be extremely sensitive to the smell of tobacco, usually neither the instructor nor the teacher will smoke in the corridor, obviously there is only one possibility - there are students secretly smoking!
And this kind of behavior is precisely what the school rules do not allow.
Stopping, Li Nanlin followed the smell of smoke towards the staircase through the basement of the teaching building, where the smell of smoke came from.
"Next year, if I graduate, I will apply for the Army Non-commissioned Officer School."
Li Xin's words made Sun Sen take a puff of cigarette silently, they are the same age, they are all students of the first phase of Incheon school, it stands to reason that they have not graduated, but next year, their age has reached the level of leaving school.
Applying for the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, which is the best choice for older students in the Chinese School, is also the most common choice, although it means that they cannot become officers, but as a non-commissioned officer, they still have a relatively good future. When he was about to graduate over age, Li Xin naturally hoped that Sun Sen would apply for that school with him, after all, they were best friends.
"I, I want to ......"
Just when Sun Sen wants to speak. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he hurriedly extinguished the cigarette butt. and hidden by the window frame. This is because cigarettes are "forbidden" in school and should be cherished.
"Hello instructor!"
Standing upright and saluting, almost the first time they saw Li Nanlin, Li Xin and Sun Sen saluted the instructor at the same time. The expression was very respectful. But in the next moment, the instructor's words made the two of them stunned at the same time.
"Who's smoking?"
Silence, even when Li Nanlin took out the half of the cigarette butt from the window frame, the two of them were still silent, they were best friends. They went to Incheon together, and then they came to Dalian together, so they would never betray their friends.
"Hmm!"
Looking at the two students in front of him, Li Nanlin, who knew that they were overage students, turned slightly cold, and then looked at one of their badges.
"In this way, I give you two hours to think about it, and after two hours, if no one admits it, I will enforce discipline! I'll be waiting in the office! β
Try to get students to admit their mistakes as much as possible. Instead of "exposing" it at the first time, this is what the school has repeatedly emphasized to teachers. It is precisely because of this that Li Nanlin will give them two hours to "pick out" the smoking students as soon as possible by the smell of smoke in their mouths.
Two hours, not very long, in fact, but only ten minutes later, Li Xin knocked on the instructor's office.
"Report to the instructor, I was smoking just now!"
Looking at the student in front of him who came to admit his mistake, Li Nanlin walked over expressionlessly.
"It's not that you're smoking, you're trying to take responsibility for him!"
Walking in front of the students, Li Nanlin asked rhetorically.
"Why?"
"Because he's my best friend!"
After the lie was exposed, Li Xin lowered his head slightly.
"So, you just want to take responsibility for him, don't you?"
The student's nod made Li Nanlin's brows furrow slightly, looking at Li Xin, who was standing there waiting for punishment.
"It's out of friendship, but you have to understand that friendship can't be higher than discipline! So ......"
After a pause, Li Nanlin stared at the student in front of him and said.
"You must preside over his punishment!"
The icy autumn rain was falling, and dozens of students in a class stood in a row on the grass, letting the cold rain fall on them, and everyone was frozen with purple lips.
In the rain, Li Xin and Sun Sen, who were wearing T-shirts, stood facing each other, and Li Nanlin stood aside, looking at them, just now, he had used this opportunity to teach these children a lesson, a lesson that friendship cannot be higher than discipline.
Teachers are expected to exhort students to devote themselves to politics on various occasions and lead by example. The school requires every student to be honest and not to be complicit in bad practices and corrupt forces, so that national politics can "become clear".
"Let's go!"
When the password was given, Li Xin and Sun Sen both raised their hands at the same time, while Li Nanlin immediately reprimanded.
"Sun Lin, put your fists down, Li Xin, hit him! Hard! β
In the reprimand of the instructor, Sun Sen put down his arms that blocked the fist, and looked straight at his friend, his face was full of disbelief, until now he didn't understand why, why it would be Li Xin, why......
Facing his friend, looking at the confusion and incomprehension in his friend's eyes, Li Xin rushed forward fiercely.
Although his steps were fast, when he rushed over, the punch hit Sun Sen's stomach was very light, not so much a fight as a show.
"Even a woman's fist is heavier than yours! How? Is it because you're a friend that you can't do it? β
As a supervisor, Li Nanlin was naturally unhappy.
"If you don't do it, leave it to other students!"
The students who are drenched in the cold autumn rain will all look eager to try, maybe they are used to the brotherhood of the school, but it does not mean that they will ignore the harm caused by their classmates' violation of discipline.
Realizing that if everyone was punished together, Sun Sen would suffer even more, Li Xinmeng gritted his teeth, and suddenly launched a ruthless attack in his heart.
"Ah......h
At the moment when he let out a heart-wrenching shout, a straight fist hit Sun Sen's lower abdomen, and when Sun Sen bent down in pain, another hook hit the chin accurately, and before Sun Sen could react, straight punches, hooks, and elbows, but it was only a few strokes, and Sun Sen, who couldn't even raise his hand to resist, was knocked to the ground.
Although Sun Sen had fallen, Li Xin still rode on him unrelentingly, and continued to beat him, and in the continuous beating, blood and rain mixed together, flowing down Sun Sen's face......
Ten minutes later, in the instructor's office, looking at Li Xin, who had injured hands and was wearing wet clothes,
"What, are you still sad?"
While speaking, Li Nanlin opened the cigarette case and handed it over.
"Here's one!"
Li Xin looked at the cigarettes in the cigarette box puzzled, and then looked at the instructor, is this a trap?
"You deserve it! A well-deserved reward! β
took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Xin, personally lit a cigarette for him, Li Nanlin looked at him and asked.
"Isn't it a little heartache because he's your best friend?"
Li Xin didn't speak, just silently sipping a cigarette, until now, the despair in Sun Sen's eyes when he was beaten still appeared in his mind.
Li Nanlin's reaction to him had long been expected, so he continued.
"It is because he is your best friend that you are responsible for punishing him, and the reason why you do this is to make you remember, remember that when friendship is higher than discipline, you need to pay the price, today, your friendship is only beyond the school rules, so the punishment for you is only to let you personally discipline your friend......"
Looking at Li Xin, who was silently smoking a cigarette, Li Nanlin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, some things are easier to say than to do, even if he is facing the same problem, what will he do?
"If one day, when you become an affairs officer, when your friend violates the law, Li Xin, tell me, can friendship surpass the law? Yes, smoking, it's just a small thing, but when you get used to favoritism for your friends, are you also used to favoritism? β
"Instructor, I ......"
The instructor's words made Li Xin stunned, and now after calming down, he seems to understand the instructor's painstaking efforts. Yes, smoking is just a trifle, but what about the future? When he is accustomed to compromise and favoritism in small things, he will also be accustomed to favoritism in big things, even in matters of principle, and then he will violate the law of the land.
"Remember what the Headmaster expected of you?"
Of course I do!
Li Xin nodded vigorously, how could he forget the principal's expectations for everyone, thinking of the principal's expectations, thinking that he almost bent discipline for friendship golf, Li Xin only felt that his face was hot.
"Okay, you will understand many truths in the future, I heard that you are going to apply for the army non-commissioned officer school? In the future, if you retire, you will also serve the public, and then you will understand our hard work! (To be continued.) )
