Chapter Ninety-Three: Apologies and Promises
The two groups of residents hesitated for a moment, and then entered the classroom under the leadership of Dan'er, and a few refugees on the other side who were watching the excitement saw that there was no good show to see, so they all sighed and left the place.
Due to limited conditions, all children, regardless of age, are arranged to learn to read and write together in a classroom, and Downer was originally going to arrange an exam, according to the amount of knowledge the children have, according to their age group.
But he has never had time, there are too few people who can use it on the second island, and there is no such teacher at all, so these things have been delayed.
The children's seats are arranged in order of height and short, and in order to allow the children on both sides to quickly integrate together, Donner also specially instructed Dan Er to break up the children of Crescent Island and the children of Cancer Island and sit together.
The desks in the classroom are long benches made by carpenters, and the style is relatively simple, each of which can accommodate four children to sit together.
Parents on both sides of the board sat in their children's seats under Dan'er's arrangement. At this time, they looked to the left and right, and suddenly they were embarrassed to find that the people around them were all residents who had quarreled with them before.
Donner couldn't help but laugh as he watched the inhabitants writhe uncomfortably on the benches, and that's what he wanted.
It is inevitable that there will be contradictions between the residents of the two sides, but we should not draw a clear ditch in the future because there are contradictions, and if this is not conducive to the harmonious development of Cancer Island, it is also not conducive to the rule and transformation of the Liberation Corps.
Donner doesn't want the conflict to continue to expand because of a small conflict, he wants the residents on both sides to be truly integrated and harmonious.
On the other hand, it is also a good thing that the conflict erupts early.
The first one allows Donner to see the inadequacies of the internal management of the Liberation Regiment, and also allows him to find the hidden dangers on the island and find a solution to the problem as soon as possible.
The second is not to let the residents secretly continue to deepen and evolve into accumulated grievances because of small daily contradictions, and then explode at a certain point and become out of control.
Third, it can completely expose some potential problems and unspoken rules, spread them out in front of everyone, and find the root of the problem.
So many times, the outbreak of contradictions, as long as it does not become uncontrollable, is a good thing to a certain extent.
After all the residents were seated, Donner came to the podium, he glanced at the residents below, and said: "Everyone knows the reason why the children fight, you see, what a small thing, it's not complicated, there is no one who bullies whom, and there is no Crescent Island children who rely on the liberation group to bully the children of Cancer Island, or the children of Cancer Island jointly bully the children of Crescent Island. ”
"How can a child not fight, parents here, who of you didn't fight when you were a child?" Donner asked rhetorically, making the residents below smile embarrassedly.
"And, I'm sure everyone understands that when the children fight, they all fight today and get back tomorrow, and although the children are all injured, I hope this matter ends here, okay?"
The residents looked awkwardly at the people around them, but they didn't say anything.
Donner didn't persuade him to say anything, he knew that the real contradiction wasn't there.
"Think about it. Donner whispered, "Let's talk about something else." ”
"I heard you arguing before, but a lot of the problem wasn't with the kids fighting, was it?" asked Donner, looking at the residents.
Most of the people were silent, and some people held back when they wanted to say something.
Donner didn't ask, and said to himself: "I keep in mind the problems you accuse each other, and I apologize to everyone for the problems that arise from them." ”
With that, Donner bowed to the residents below and apologized.
This move startled the residents below, and some of the residents on the Crescent Island stood up in vain and said in a panic: "Commander, this is ...... This...... It's not like that!"
"Yes, if there is no regimental leader, we still don't have enough to eat, you are not wrong, the fault is the residents of Cancer Island. ”
The residents of Cancer Island were silent, and at this time there was no refutation of the accusations of the residents of Crescent Island. In fact, for them, the contact time with the liberation group was not very long, and it was relatively unfamiliar. The impression of Donner is only gentle, talkative, and perhaps benevolent.
But at this time, I have to say that Donner's move is really touching and heartwarming. As the head of the liberation regiment and the de facto ruler of Cancer Island, he is in a high position of power, and he can actually put down his body and apologize to a group of residents under his rule, which is unimaginable to them.
Donner waved his hand to stop the dissuasion and discussion of the inhabitants of Crescent Island, and said, "Listen to me first. ”
The inhabitants of Crescent Island stopped talking, and finally sat back on the benches.
"Why do you say that the first problem lies with me, first of all, as the head of the liberation group, I lead all the residents of Cancer Island, and I have an unshirkable responsibility for these problems. ”
"Our liberation regiment did not lead everyone well, and there was a problem in management, so that all the residents felt unreasonable, unfair, and unjust in their daily labor, so as the head of the regiment, I should apologize to you. ”
The residents on both sides listened silently, and the atmosphere became a little solemn, and even the children in front of them quieted down.
"These things have to be changed, and the ultimate goal of our liberation regiment is to lead everyone's life to be better, not worse. Downer promised.
"But then again, when these problems arise, everyone has more or less some problems. I'm not talking about the residents of Crescent Island, who have been following me, or the residents of Cancer Island, but in my eyes, everyone is a unit, and I don't take sides.
Again, life and life are not easy, and my biggest hope is that all the residents can unite to build Cancer Island better, so that no one will go hungry and not be invaded by pirates. ”
Donner pondered his words, paused and continued: "Why do I say that all the inhabitants here have to do with these contradictions? ”
"I know that everyone's work and work is very hard, some people feel that other people's work is arranged easily, and some people think that the food distribution is not fair. ”
"These problems are not non-existent, and they will be slowly changed in the future. But I hope you can all understand, and think carefully about whether everyone's work and labor are constantly changing? If you are tired today, will it be easier next time? Residents who are attentive probably also know that the amount of remuneration is not set in stone, but is paid according to the amount of labor. ”
"So, subtle differences are inevitable. ”
Donner said in a deep tone, "But in fact, I don't know the main thing. You should all know that all of us are working hard to build our own homes. The bricks fired by the residents of the brick kiln will eventually be used to build your own house, and the porcelain fired by the kiln will be sold in exchange for grain to be distributed to all the residents. ”
"Everyone should have only one purpose, that is, to be able to let go of contradictions, understand each other, help each other, unite together, and make life better, instead of blaming each other for a little thing. ”
