At eight o'clock in the morning, the exam had just begun, and it began to rain outside.

Half past eight is the parent-teacher conference. Before the exam, Shi Jingru and Hu Zhengli first went to the eighth class classroom to check, and saw that the students were quietly waiting for the exam, without any changes, they returned to the conference room with peace of mind, ready to welcome the arrival of their parents.

Director Zhang and the officers of the Political Work Department are still arranging the conference room. In addition to drinking water, washed grapes, bananas, and other fruits are placed on the table.

"Two principals, look at it, what else needs to be prepared?" Director Zhang asked.

"Not bad! Specifications for receiving VIPs! Hu Zhengli said with a smile.

Director Zhang said: "Alas! It has always been parents who raise their faces and beg us! When have we ever been so low-brow and pleasing to our parents? ”

Principal Shi said, "Then what do you say?" Or - you're going to be a class teacher? ”

"It's all his Zhang Mingjin's fault, and we have to wipe his ass! If you want me to say, it's better to change back to Minghao! Director Zhang said.

Principal Hu said: "You said light! If you are Minghao, you will be full of enthusiasm in the class, and because of such a bad thing, you will be severely punished. The title is not promoted, and the grade leader and class teacher have been removed! Now, there is no one to take this class, and I will let you pick it up when I go back, what are you doing? ”

"Yes. This Zhang Mingjin is really not a fuel-efficient lamp! Director Zhang continued to lay out the fruits.

Seeing that it was half past eight, except for Teacher Wu, Zhai Xiaoya's father and a few other teachers from the school, none of the other parents arrived.

Principal Hu asked, "What time did the children say that the parent-teacher conference will be held?" ”

Dandan's mother, Teacher Yu, said: "It's half past eight! ”

"Is there a problem with the timing of this notice? - Could it be that ...... by this rain" A thunderclap interrupted Principal Shi's words.

Du Tao hurried to the conference room and said, "I inspected the examination room, and I'm late!" ”

"It's not too late! - None of the others arrived! Director Zhang said.

"Hey——? That's not right——! Generally, parent-teacher conferences are held, and most parents will arrive early! - What's going on today? As Du Tao spoke, a gust of wind swept the rain and suddenly blew open the unclosed window.

"It's raining at an inopportune time!" Director Zhang hurriedly ran over to close the window, but his shirt was already wet.

Principal Hu said: "It is said that ——, time for parents to arrive at school! - Did these children come home and not tell their parents? Otherwise, how could there be no one? ”

"That's it——, doesn't Class 8 have a parent group! A few of you ask in the group to see what's going on. Principal Shi said to Dandan's mother and other teachers, "If the parents really don't know, just notify them and come to school at 2 o'clock in the afternoon to ......."

Before Principal Shi finished speaking, suddenly, he heard the sound of "booming" running in the corridor downstairs - many people were running. The footsteps shook so much that the floor seemed to tremble!

Everyone in the conference room hurried out to find out.

As soon as I arrived on the fourth floor, I saw the dean running up panting: "Principal......, it's not good......!" The students of Class 8 a year, collectively - all ran away! ”

Boycott ——!?

Shi Jingru only felt that his head was "buzzing", and it seemed to rise a lot. He couldn't believe it, and Principal Hu hurriedly came to the eighth class classroom, but only Teacher Su was left to supervise the classroom, and there were still four students left in the examination room: Lu Jiayi, Wu Haotian, Han Mengmeng and Ni Na.

"What's going on? How did people get out? Who led the way? Principal Hu asked.

Teacher Su said, "I don't know what's going on! Just after half an hour of the exam, the students stood up and ran together as if they had made an appointment! I can't see who is taking the lead! I didn't even hand in the papers. - It's still raining outside! ”

"What about Zhang Mingjin? Shouldn't the two of you be proctoring? Du Tao asked.

"Teacher Zhang has gone to chase the students!"

Principal Shi asked the dean of students, "Isn't their class divided into two examination rooms?" INTERVIEWER What about the exam room? ”

"Two exam rooms are acting at the same time! - That exam room might as well be here! There was no one left. The dean said timidly.

Principal Hu asked Teacher Wu and the parents of Yu Tianyang, Zhao Ying, and Linlin, who came later: "The child didn't miss a breath at home?" ”

Several parents were also at a loss, innocent and helpless. - Yu Qing, I and Zhang Mingjin also work together in the same school, and my own child's participation in such a big thing will not only make Zhang Mingjin misunderstand, but also impossible to explain with others, what will others think? - Yu Li, this matter is too big! As the saying goes, "good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles", and this has a terrible impact on the school! But ......, alas——!

"Didn't say anything! - This is too bold! ”

"Yes! When the child comes home, he says that there is a parent-teacher conference today, nothing abnormal! ”

"Are these kids crazy?"

"It's raining so hard, where did the child go?"

"Yes! I don't know if I brought an umbrella or not? ”

Several parents are helpless, worried and at a loss.

……

Whether as a student, as a teacher, or as a principal today, for decades. Boycott! ——The well-informed Shi Jingru is really unheard of! Alas! Such a bizarre thing, let yourself be put on the stall today!

At this time, Zhang Mingjin, who was poured into soup by the heavy rain, came back.

"What about the students?" Several people asked in unison.

"Out of the gate! Didn't catch up. Zhang Mingjin said dejectedly.

Principal Hu asked, "Beforehand—you didn't notice any signs?" ”

"It's so tightly organized, I'm afraid it's - there is someone to guide you, right?" Zhang Mingjin recalled the scene when Mr. Wu put the coins on his desk, and looked at several other parents and colleagues.

……

So far, Zhang Mingjin is really scared. Of course, he knew that he could not defend any of the several pieces of evidence presented by the students. In particular, there are lessons learned from the past when paid supplementary classes and indiscriminately subscribed materials: During last year's winter vacation, a teacher from another middle school was sent to a rural school because he was paid to make up classes, and he was not allowed to be promoted to a professional title for three years. And this time, if you are punished for several crimes, you may be punished more severely.

But is there a better way to defuse it? Throughout his time in prison, he meditated. He suddenly remembered that when the students were running out, he heard as if someone had said "Education Bureau", could it be that these students had filed a complaint with the Education Bureau? So what to do? - No way! Now there is only one life-saving straw,—— and that is Wen Min.

Although Dong Zixuan handed over 20,000 yuan to the school, he believed that it was definitely not Wen Min's meaning. What's more, after Wen Min called Principal Shi, wasn't the school trying to protect him? Now, even if a student sues the Education Bureau, as long as Wen Minken helps, there is no injustice! Because she is not just a parent of a student, but the mayor's wife who makes everyone look up! - So, he took the plunge and dialed Wen Min's phone.

The first subject of the Chinese language test takes two and a half hours, which is a very short time for the students who take the exam. But for the prison teacher, the time is very long. Especially Zhang Mingjin at this time, it was simply tormented. Finally, the bell rang, and it was time to rewind.

Zhang Mingjin walked up to Lu Jiayi to collect the papers, but seeing that she was still checking the test papers in a hurry, he reminded: "Hurry up and fill in the name of the class!" ”

Lu Jiayi said: "No. ”

"No, it won't. The volume should be bound uniformly, and the name of the class should not be written, which is not easy to do when the volume is split and divided. Zhang Mingjin said.

Han Mengmeng said: "I don't need to bind my papers, because I don't plan to hand them in." - However, Jiayi must hand in the papers! She took Lu Jiayi's paper, wrote the class and name on the head, and then handed it to Zhang Mingjin.

"You? - Since you've taken all the exams, why don't you turn in your papers? Zhang Mingjin was so angry that his face turned green.

Han Mengmeng said: "I just want to answer the questions according to the exam time, and I can finish the answer!" However, Jiayi is different, Jiayi wants to represent the eighth class to compete for the first! She turned around and whispered to Lu Jiayi, "Jiayi, the reason why I stayed was entrusted by everyone to monitor you, and I was afraid that you would also follow the exam." Don't let down everyone's trust! I won't accompany you in the next subject. ”

Lu Jiayi nodded heavily.

Han Mengmeng put the roll into her schoolbag and looked back at Wu Haotian.

Wu Haotian looked at Han Mengmeng and then at Lu Jiayi, very embarrassed.

Han Mengmeng said: "You don't have to be embarrassed, everyone is voluntary!" - Besides, everyone knows about your family's situation, if you dare to boycott the exam, your mother will spare you? Picking up his schoolbag, he waved away with Lu Jiayi.

Wu Haotian glanced at Ni Na next to him.

Ni Na said: "You don't have to look at me! I'm taking the exam, and I'm going to hand in the paper! I don't want to get a zero. It's their business that they want to make trouble, what does it have to do with me? ”

……

Besides, Principal Shi and Principal Hu were anxious when they learned about the children's boycott. More than sixty students rushed out of the campus together. Where are they? - I don't know! Where will they go? - I don't know! What other crazy moves will they make next? - I don't know!

At the beginning, when he was in the examination room, Principal Shi tried to learn about the situation from Lu Jiayi, but Lu Jiayi's sentence "I'm taking the exam" made him speechless. Now, he has completely lost contact with these students, except for a few teachers from the school, none of the other parents have arrived, he is really like an ant on a hot pot, restless but helpless.

"Will they go to the Education Bureau to file a complaint?" Principal Hu said.

"Alas! I'm afraid of this! In that case, you won't be able to cover it even if you want to! Principal Shi sighed.

Hu Zhengli suggested: "Do you want to ask Minghao to come forward and persuade the students?" The students still respect him very much. ”

"Want Minghao to come forward? Don't forget, Ming Hao was drawn to the Education Bureau and is participating in the city's basketball game! Besides, Zhang Mingjin kept saying that it was instigated by Ming Hao, and Ming Hao was too late to hide, so he would come forward? ”
