Chapter 8 : A Special "Gift"
Teacher's Day is coming soon. After class, as soon as Ming Hao returned to the office, he was called to the pantry by English teacher Elili.
Teacher Ai took out a delicately packaged gift box from her bag and said, "Teacher Ming, this is a gift from Chen Jiabao's parents in your class. I didn't say anything, I put it down and ran away! - Look, there's a card here!"
Ming Hao took the card and wrote: Jiabao's grades are not good, and he pulled the back legs of the class, which made the teacher bother! This child has strong self-esteem, please be considerate of the teacher! Thank you very much!
"How do you think it's appropriate to go back? We can't accept this gift. Teacher Ai asked.
Ming Hao understands Mr. Ai's personality and is very principled. She had already passed the retirement age, but because the school lacked foreign language teachers, and Teacher Ai had a certain influence, the school repeatedly retained her, coupled with her own reluctance to work, so she postponed her retirement. Being able to teach eight classes of foreign language classes this time really made Ming Hao overjoyed.
Taking a class with Mr. Ai is one is worry-free, and the other is reassuring. Speaking of worry-free, it is Teacher Ai who takes classes and never makes trouble or problems for the head teacher. As a class teacher, the most feared thing is that the subject teacher does not have a strong sense of responsibility or cannot suppress the class, so that the class teacher always has to deal with the aftermath. But this is not the case with Mr. Ai. Her class is always enthusiastic and orderly, and she never needs the head teacher to press her down, so the head teacher is very worry-free.
And Mr. Ai is not only serious in class, but also very strict with students, whether it is writing words or reciting texts, if someone does not finish, then absolutely do not want to go home, of course, Mr. Ai has always been with him until he is completed. Therefore, the academic performance of Mr. Ai's class has always been among the top spears. With such a hard hand as Teacher Ai, the head teacher is of course the most assured.
"Teacher Ai, if you want me to see, it's not good to return the gift now, and it's easy to make parents feel uneasy. Would it be better to go back in a different way or at a different time? "Actually, Minghao doesn't know what to do.
"Hey! These parents often complicate things and always want teachers to pay more attention. In fact, teachers and students, to put it mildly, are grasshoppers tied to a rope, and they are closely related. If parents don't give gifts, we don't care? That's too much to look down on us! Besides, we also want grades, can we let a student fall behind? Just like this Chen Jiabao, his foreign language foundation is too poor, these days, I leave him a part of the junior high school practice questions every day, plus what he is learning now, both prongedly, as long as he persists, the foreign language problem is still not big! β
"Is it just because of your extra care for Chen Jiabao, the parents of other people can't help it, so they specially expressed it?" Minghao thinks that's the reason.
"Ahem! Superfluous. It's a great gift if the grades go up! - I've handed it over to you, so you can help me get it back. Teacher Ai turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ming Hao, "Teacher Ai, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" β
"Your class, you can figure it out! This is your class, I have to hurry up, the class bell is ringing. "Teacher Ai is gone.
Ming Hao was at a loss with the gift box, Du Tao returned to the office from his class, saw Ming Hao, and smiled: "What?" Bribed? β
"you!" Ming Hao told the ins and outs of the matter.
"Alas! People have their own aspirations and pursue differences. Teacher Ai, live purely! Unlike some people, they are good at dancing with long sleeves! Du Tao sighed.
The two of them returned to the office together, and Ming Hao looked at the gift box: "This, why should I help return it?" They didn't give it to me. β
Du Tao said: "Don't talk about this yet! Let me remind you, your class seems to have the signs of early love! You have to be careful! β
"Huh? So fast! It's only been a few days? Who is it? Ming Hao was shocked. He knew that the students in the class were in love, just like the flu virus, which was extremely contagious.
"I'm not so sure. But nine times out of ten, that's the case. β
"Don't sell it! Tell me, who is it? Ming Hao said anxiously.
"That day, I saw your class ...... in our supermarket on campus."
Before Du Tao finished speaking, Ni Na, the representative of the English class of Class 8, ran to the office out of breath: "Teacher, go to the class and have a look!" Teacher Ai fainted! β
The news is even more shocking! Ming Hao immediately got up and ran to the class, and Du Tao also followed closely behind and ran to the eighth class classroom.
β¦β¦
After examination by the doctor, Mr. Ai was diagnosed with a cerebral hemorrhage due to a sudden increase in blood pressure caused by agitation. Fortunately, the amount of bleeding is not large, and the hospital is sent in time, so there is no danger to life, but in the future, I am afraid that standing and walking will become a problem, let alone on the podium!
"You say, well, how did this happen?" Du Tao sighed.
Ming Hao said guiltily: "I blame the students in our class, I didn't educate well, and I'm angry with Teacher Ai!" β
Teacher Ai's husband came out of the ward, heard the conversation between the two, and said, "No one complains, just blame me, and don't insist on her retirement." The child is in Xiamen, and our old couple also bought a house there. I thought that she was retired, and we should spend our old age in peace, enjoy the joy of family, and help take care of our little grandson. It's a good plan! But as soon as she really came to retire, she felt like she had lost her soul! said that he had been with students for half his life, but without students in front of him, his heart was empty. She lost her soul for the whole summer vacation, and I couldn't bear it, so I let her go. - Alas! Who knew what was going on! β
β¦β¦
Ming Hao and Du Tao returned to school.
Although Ming Hao had already learned the general situation from Ni Na, he still had to investigate in detail.
He first found the person concerned, Chen Jiabao, and asked: "What is going on today, can you write a written material about the before and after?" β
Chen Jiabao didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Come to my office and write, be quiet."
"Can I call my mom?"
"Okay. It's best to ask your parents to come along. After speaking, Ming Hao went to find other classmates to understand the situation. He found a few classmates successively, and everyone's statements were basically the same as what Ni Na said, and the key to the problem was Chen Jiabao.
Ming Hao felt the need to have a serious talk with Chen Jiabao. He returned to his office: "How's it going?" Let me see. β
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look is really shocking! I saw Chen Jiabao writing the words "Desperate Book" on the manuscript paper.
Ming Hao was silent for a while, and suppressed the anger in his heart: "You wrote it? β
"Yes."
"Don't want to live anymore?"
"Yes."
"Who's what's wrong with you? You don't want to live yet? Du Tao hurried over when he heard their conversation, glanced at the "desperate book" and said.
Ming Hao said to Du Tao: "Look at him." With that, he hurried out of the office.
He first made a phone call to Chen Jiabao's father, Chen Chuan, and asked him to come to school immediately, but did not mention the matter of the "desperate book". Then he returned to the class and called Lu Jiayi, a member of the study committee, Ni Na, a representative of the English class, Li Daqi, Chen Jiabao's tablemate, and Dong Zixuan, who was sitting next to him, to the small conference room. Then he called the principal Shi Jingru and the vice principal Hu Zhengli respectively. Everyone went to the small conference room.
Everyone waited for a long time, and Chen Jiabao's mother Jiang Meina was late.
Ming Hao first asked the students to restore the conflict scene in English class:
English class has always been one of Chen Jiabao's most nervous and headache subjects, and before every class, he wears earplugs, either muttering words or reciting texts. Today, however, he was unusually relaxed.
Li Daqi, who was at the same table, asked curiously: "Why don't you memorize words?" Not afraid of your English teacher asking you? β
"You won't be asking me questions today!" Chen Jiabao looked confident.
Didn't you say it all yesterday, you didn't answer it correctly, and I asked you today. β
"Not anymore. Believe it or not, wait and see! Chen Jiabao smiled weirdly.
As he spoke, Teacher Ai walked into the classroom. At the end of the pre-class ceremony, as usual, questions are asked about what you have learned before.
"Chen Jiabao ββ!" Teacher Ai asked first.
Li Daqi couldn't help but laugh out loud, he hurriedly lay on the table, but his shoulders were still shaking.
Chen Jiabao angrily threw the book on the table, causing the whole class to focus on him.
"No!" He snorted.
Teacher Ai was also a little unhappy: "I haven't asked a question yet, how do you know that it won't?" β
"AnywayβI won't do anything!"
"I won't go to school! Wouldn't it be justified? Is it worth being so justifiable? - Inexplicable! β
"Inexplicable? I know - you've always looked down on me! If you don't torture me every day, you feel bad, don't you? Chen Jiabao seems to be getting angrier and angrier the more he talks.
Teacher Ai's face suddenly turned red: "You...... You say I'm torturing you? β
"Isn't it? You just want to run me out every day to get rid of me, right? ββTake people's money and people to eliminate disasters, I didn't expect you to have a big appetite! Sir, I'm not going to take your foreign language class, right? With that, he kicked down his chair and rushed out of the classroom.
"You...... You ......" Teacher Ai didn't finish speaking, staggered back, leaned against the blackboard, and then slipped off the blackboard and fell to the ground.
β¦β¦
After the students finished telling the story, Ming Hao took out the gift box and relayed Mr. Ai's original words before class. Chen Jiabao lowered his head.
Principal Shi said, "When I saw Teacher Ai in the hospital today, I felt very guilty. It was only after I repeatedly came to the door to mobilize that Mr. Ai stayed and continued to work. Because, not to mention in No. 1 Middle School, even in Quanlongbei City, her teaching level is second to none, and it can be said that she is one of our signboards. She hasn't retired yet, so how many private schools and tutoring institutions have hired her at a high price! She stayed to teach, and she was emotionally inrelenting! β
Jiang Meina said: "Teacher Ai is sick, and we are also very sad. But my family is also very distressed, Mr. Ai asks him questions every day, he feels that it is simply torture, the pressure is too great, and he has depression. This happened again today, he just didn't want to live anymore, and he wrote a desperate book! As he spoke, he covered his face and cried.
Ming Hao looked at her and asked, "You are the last to come here, I haven't met Jiabao before, and everyone here doesn't know that he wrote a desperate book, how did you know?" β
"This ...... It was Jiabao who called me before and said that I didn't want to live anymore. β
Ming Hao smiled: "Are you his own mother?" My son said on the phone that I don't want to live anymore, and you are still so calm, the last one to be here? β
"In the past few days, the secret investigation team of the Commission for Discipline Inspection has been here, and our unit has very strict requirements, so we can't get out!"
After hearing this, everyone laughed. Chen Jiabao's father looked embarrassed.
Ming Hao said: "You don't have to explain. Let's also say that Teacher Ai, she is a high school teacher, in order to make up for Chen Jiabao's knowledge in junior high school, she has to specialize in junior high school textbooks and design practice questions according to Jiabao's actual situation, which is equivalent to adding another teaching progress to herself. INTERVIEWER Have you ever seen a teacher torturing a student like this? All the students here have made up classes outside of school, right? You know how much it costs to make up the lessons. Teacher Ai is so willing to give students tutoring loopholes, she doesn't need anyone to appreciate it, and she doesn't need anyone to compensate for it, because this is her character. β
He glanced at Chen Jiabao's parents: "However, she never expected that the students she tried her best to promote would be resentful because of her support." - She never expected that the parents of the students would give gifts to the teacher in order not to let the teacher ask questions about their children! I ββ, really don't feel worth it for her! β
Lu Jiayi stood up angrily: "Hmph! Such a good teacher is ruined in your hands! - Still embarrassed here? With that, he left.
Jiang Meina glared at her husband and shouted, "Look at it! What attitude? - What a lack of education! β
"Shut up!" Father Chen turned his head to Principal Shi and Ming Hao and said, "Things are already like this, let's see what to do next, we will listen to the school." β
Ming Hao said: "No, the principal is also there, and the parents are also there." Lookβthis is a desperate book written by Chen Jiabao. The students in front of me have explained the situation of the class clearly. Teacher Ai asked questions normally, without irritating language or corporal punishment, so it can be said that there is no flaw. And you can also see the monitoring. Now in front of the principal, I will officially hand over Chen Jiabao to the parents, and you will take the children back by yourself! I don't dare to teach such students! I don't know if I really die in my class one day, and my career will be over! None of us teachers would dare to take this risk! He stood up and beckoned to the other students in the class, "Go, go back to class!" β
Chen Jiabao's mother was anxious: "Wait! You can't fire my son! You don't have that right! β
"That's not expulsion, is it? Depression is a disease! - Treated! There are teachers and classmates in my class, there are so many people, who knows which sentence is not right, which stimulates him? We can't afford to do that. β
Ming Hao, Du Tao, Dong Zixuan and others walked out of the conference room, and Chen Jiabao's father chased after him, wanting to have a good talk with Ming Hao.
Du Tao stopped Chen's father and said, "I think the most important thing for your parents to do now is to go to the hospital." Don't worry, Mr. Ai has medical insurance and won't cheat you! Instead of spending so much effort on acting, it's better to reflect on it and don't lead the child crookedly! β
Dong Zixuan was so angry that he shouted: "What kind of thing is Chen Jiabao's mother?" Maybe it was her idea for Jiabao! And get a desperate book, why didn't she bring a bottle of dichlorvos to her son? β
"Humph! Also depressed! He's stupid, he's more happy than anyone else in a day, and he can still get depression? Li Daqi also said angrily.
Ni Na sighed: "Alas! Jiayi is right, such a good teacher is ruined in their hands! Without Teacher Ai, we are all losses. β
