Chapter 25: Scary Emotional Catharsis

2019.9.20

When Peng Peng got up in the morning, he said that his throat was uncomfortable and there was a foul smell. Because of today's school National Day collective singing preliminaries, yesterday afternoon rehearsal until late, when he went home, he said that he sang with the biggest voice, with his high voice to lead the students to sing loudly. Mom asked worriedly: Can your throat stand it? Why don't you use the sound of air or the way to move your mouth without making a sound? Peng Peng said: After singing, I drank a lot of water, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

Peng Peng opened his mouth to show his mother his tonsils, some red and swollen, and his mother quickly let him take Pudilan oral liquid for tonsil inflammation, which is the only traditional Chinese medicine anti-inflammatory drug, which specializes in treating tonsil inflammation, and his mother always keeps it at home. Peng Peng said that his throat was uncomfortable, and he went to school without breakfast. My mother was not at ease to contact the homeroom teacher, and asked the teacher to contact my mother as soon as she found anything wrong with Peng Peng.

Sure enough, I received a call from the teacher at half past ten that Peng Peng suddenly said in Chinese class: I might as well die! The teacher asked him why he said this, and he didn't answer. Mom immediately said, "Let him go home, I'll pick him up."

Seeing Peng Peng, Teacher Zhan said that the Chinese teacher had already talked to Peng Peng, but he didn't say anything, and shed tears silently.

Mom asked Peng Peng if he had a sore throat and if he felt anything uncomfortable, Peng Peng shook his head and said nothing. On the way home, he suddenly said: Do you think I have no talent? Just now, Mr. Yu said that I am very talented. Oh? Mom hurriedly said: Mom didn't say that you don't have talent? Peng Peng said: Didn't you say that if I don't do my language homework, my language won't be good? Teacher Yu said that she had read my dictation and my excerpts of beautiful essays, and learned that I was a talented person. She also said that my negative emotions were her weakness. Mom said: The teacher is right, your talent is formed because of your talent and correct guidance. You are observant and can infer a person's thoughts from his expressions and movements. After long-term training by the composition teacher, I have mastered certain writing techniques, so I can express your ideas through writing. But my mother is not as lucky as you, my mother may have been as talented as you when she was a child, but my mother's parents were busy making money to support their three children, and it was their pursuit to be able to feed and clothe the three of our brothers and sisters, so I didn't get good guidance. It's only now that I've learned a lot of writing techniques from studying with you, so my mom has started to explore her talent with you.

Peng Peng said: Well, today in the Chinese class, the teacher criticized the students who drank water, and I was also thirsty for water, and suddenly became very irritable, so I said that.

Mom asks: Can you understand the teacher?

Peng Peng said: I can't understand. After the Chinese class, after the physical activity class, why are we so thirsty and can't drink water?

Mom said, "Can you drink water between classes?"

Peng Peng replied: But today's recess is a fire drill.

Mom understood the reason, the classmates didn't have enough time to drink water today.

Mom said, "In the future, you should drink enough water between classes, so that you will not be thirsty in class."

Peng Peng said: But the more I drink, the more thirsty I get!

Mom thought: Yes, I don't know why the more I drink the water now, the thirstier I get. I sometimes feel bad like that, too.

So he said: From now on, let's bring honey and salt water to the school to drink, or wheat and jade bamboo water.

Also, about irritability, can you think about it in a way that puts you in the shoes of others? Think of yourself as Teacher Yu, what would you think if you saw students drinking water absentmindedly instead of listening carefully to the lecture during class? Think about it again, when you are anxious to talk to your mother, but your mother is looking at her phone, and at that time you also angrily ask your mother: Is it me who is important? Or is the phone important? In the end, I was so angry that I wanted to throw away my mother's phone, right?

Peng Peng was a little embarrassed: I can now understand why Teacher Yu is angry. It won't be so extreme next time.

The head teacher was very worried about whether Peng Peng's emotions had calmed down, and sent a WeChat message to ask after school. Peng Peng really frightened the teachers this time, after his mother sincerely apologized to the teachers, he and Peng Peng's father told Peng Peng again not to say the word "death" at school, because the word "death" is too powerful, Peng Peng said it casually, adding a lot of mental pressure to the teachers without knowing it.
