Chapter Twenty-Four: Expectations from Mrs. Amamiya, so the girl responded
After Amamiya left at night, only Tetsufumi Hirakawa and four cats were left in the shrine.
"I still have classes this afternoon, and I'll pick you up in the evening, don't run around."
Tetsufumi Hirakawa squatted down and said to the cat. The big white cat glanced at him, meowed as if to say "Got it, don't make noise", and then looked away impatiently.
It's ignored by the cat, but children will be angry with the cat.
Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood up absentmindedly, straightened his wrinkled uniform, and slowly walked out of the shrine, and out of the woods along the weedy path.
Before this cat met Amamiya Night, I don't know how long I had been living here, and after I met it, I also lived here for nearly a week, and I gave birth to a kitten, so I shouldn't run around.
By the way, there is cat food in the box, as well as towels or something, which are prepared for them by Amamiya Night, so you don't have to worry about them.
After leaving the woods, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked slowly towards the school, his class was in the second period, and he was not in a hurry.
But before that, I had to call Mrs. Amamiya, and the reason why I asked Amamiya to go back early was because I wanted to talk to Mrs. Amamiya alone at this time.
Tetsufumi Hirakawa took out his mobile phone and followed the call log to call Mrs. Amamiya, but what he got was a busy signal on the call.
It must be that Amamiya is talking to her mother on the phone, right?
Then wait and see.
Tetsufumi Hirakawa held the phone in his hand and looked at the distant sky, blue and transparent, with white clouds floating. Walking and walking, out of my mind.
He thought of a lot of things, about Amamiya Night, about the second disease.
And also...... He remembered a colleague from his previous life.
The colleague was a boy, a young teacher, also a Chinese teacher, who was teaching the third year of junior high school at the time.
For him, the two don't have a lot of private interactions, but they are in the same office, and they are barely familiar.
The impression he left on Tetsufumi Hirakawa was probably elegant and easy-going.
Of course, it may also be Tetsufumi Hirakawa's own stereotype. As a Chinese teacher, and according to Tetsufumi Hirakawa's own style of acting, he always felt that other Chinese teachers should also be like him, peaceful and leisurely.
This is the premise, in short, in his eyes, this colleague is such a person.
Then when the junior high school entrance examination was over, several teachers who taught them in the third year of junior high school made an appointment to go to a dinner party to celebrate.
At that celebratory dinner, the teacher, who is usually elegant, easy-going, plain, and approachable, started to ...... after drinking a bottle of wine at KTV
Well.
First he sang and then scolded for several minutes. There is no object of scolding, just simply venting there by yourself. Such a contrast shocked the teachers who went with them.
The next day, I asked him in the group of teachers, and he replied: "Teaching the graduating class for the first time, I am very stressed, and I am afraid of delaying the children. Yesterday was venting, and I laughed. ”
It's just such a thing, it's not a big deal, it's just that just when I was facing the night of Amamiya, this kind of thing suddenly came out of my mind again.
To say why......
"Buzz—buzz—"
The mobile phone in his hand vibrated and interrupted Tetsufumi Hirakawa's casual reverie.
Withdrawing his gaze from the sky, he glanced at his phone, and before the bell rang, he clicked on. On the other side sounded Mrs. Amamiya's voice.
"Hello, Mr. Hirakawa."
"I'm, I'm Mrs. Amamiya."
"Yes, I'm really sorry, I was talking to Xiao Ye just now, so I couldn't get through to Mr. Hirakawa's phone." An apologetic voice floated out of the microphone.
"It's okay."
"Anyway, I'm really troublesome Mr. Hirakawa today."
"It doesn't matter, it's what I'm supposed to do as a teacher."
However, I don't need to thank you, but I am still happy when I am thanked by the parents of the students. That's what it's like to be recognized.
"That's right, Mr. Hirakawa."
"Mrs. Amamiya, please."
"Hmm...... It's about the kid Xiaoye, what did she do today? She still didn't tell me. ”
"About this......
Tetsufumi Hirakawa dragged out a long note and did not finish immediately.
"What's wrong?"
I can't say it if it's agreed. However, the thought of hiding from the parents of the students is still uncomfortable.
Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the road ahead and didn't know how to speak. The other side of the phone was also quiet, waiting for his reply.
Amamiya Ye really gave him a problem.
Walking slowly, thinking in my head what to say. But at this time, it was already time to get to the school gate.
Under the April sky, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the pink ones hang on the branches on both sides of the road, falling with the wind, and also paving the ground into pink passages.
Tetsufumi Hirakawa stopped.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Amamiya, please wait."
"Huh? yes, what's wrong? ”
Faced with Mrs. Amamiya's question, she didn't reply for the time being, but put down her phone, took out the mask she was carrying from her pocket, and immediately put it on herself.
After that, I picked up my phone again, and my stopped steps were resumed, and I was much faster than before, and I stepped over the cherry blossom-colored aisle.
"Ahem...... I'm sorry. It's good now. ”
The voice was slightly muffled through the mask, so that Mrs. Amamiya on the opposite side immediately heard the abnormality.
"Mr. Hirakawa, what's going on, it doesn't matter, right?"
"It's okay, it doesn't matter, it's just that I'm allergic to cherry blossoms, and I just happened to encounter cherry blossoms here." Tetsufumi Hirakawa explained.
"That's right...... Cherry blossoms at the school gate? ”
"Yes."
"That's really inconvenient."
"There's no way, allergies are like this, you can only pay attention to yourself."
"Also, just like I'm allergic to cats, try to stay away from cats on the road...... Sorry, that seems off topic. ”
"No, it doesn't matter."
I don't digress, I just want to ask this.
Tetsufumi Hirakawa's face was hiding behind the mask with a slight smile.
"Mrs. Amamiya wants to ask me what Amamiya-san is doing today, right?"
"Yes, Xiao Ye doesn't know why she keeps refusing to tell me, so I don't know what to do."
"Before that, can I ask Mrs. Amamiya a question?"
"Eh, Mr. Hirakawa, may I ask." Mrs. Amamiya said politely.
Tetsufumi Hirakawa only spoke with a few words.
"I would like to ask Mrs. Amamiya, what is Amamiya-san like at home? As you know, this semester I was the first time I was a teacher for Amamiya Night, and I didn't know much about her. ”
"About this ......" Mrs. Amamiya's voice stopped in the microphone, probably thinking about how to answer.
"Xiao Ye has been a very well-behaved child since he was a child, very quiet and obedient. When I'm at home, I usually do my own thing quietly. ”
"Well, that's right." Tetsufumi Hirakawa said that he received it, and then asked, "So, in normal times, does she do some ......?"
After a pause, he found the right words and spoke.
"What about the more peculiar things?"
"Strange things?" Mrs. Amamiya's voice seemed very hesitant.
"Well, yes."
"This ......" hesitated for a long time, but still denied it, "Although I don't know what Hirakawa-sensei is referring to, it shouldn't be." ”
"Okay." Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded, "Then please allow me to ask one last question...... Mrs. Amamiya, do you have any expectations for Amamiya-san? ”
"Expectations? This...... Nothing. I just hope she can grow up healthy and happy. ”
"Healthy and happy, ......"
Tetsufumi Hirakawa repeated softly.
What is the definition of health? This is a question worth pondering.
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Denied.
"Then I can answer Mrs. Amamiya's question. About why Amamiya-san went to the shrine today, and why he was always late the other day. ”
There was no sound on the other side of the microphone, waiting for his answer. Tetsufumi Hirakawa spoke.
"Amamiya is a very well-behaved student, both at home and at school. The reason why I went to the shrine was because I wanted to be alone and vent. ”
"Vent?" Mrs. Amamiya didn't understand.
"yes, vent. Maybe it's because I've just started the second grade and changed to a new class, so it's more stressful. Tetsufumi Hirakawa said without changing his face.
"Is that so?"
"That's right, and she didn't want you to worry, so she couldn't tell you."
"Hmmm......"
"That's the way it is, and I've already enlightened Amamiya-san about this. According to her own wishes, if Mrs. Amamiya continued to inquire about it, it would cause her to be under more pressure. So ......"
"So Hirakawa-sensei wants me to stop asking Xiao Ya about this?"
"Yes, that's my advice."
"This ...... Then I'll listen to Mr. Hiragawa. ”
“……”
That was the end of the call, and after a while of goodbye, the call was disconnected.
Tetsufumi Hirakawa had already walked to the door of the office.
He took off his mask, put it in the transparent bag he had prepared, and entered the office.
At a glance, Mr. Kuda was not there, and there were only a few teachers in the entire office, because it was class time.
Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked to his desk, sat down, picked up the pen on the table, and then turned the pen with one hand and put the other on his cheek, looking out the window at the blue sky.
The white clouds floated leisurely, unrestrained, passing by the window sky, and drifting away with the wind.
Thoughts also drifted away.
Amamiya night, the second middle school girl. However, from the mother's expectation, healthy and happy growth. So, the caring girl always responded to this expectation.
The second middle school illness or something, will it make my mother embarrassed, right?
What a warm tragedy.
Tetsufumi Hirakawa was silent, and the pen in his hand stopped at some point and fell on the table.
It wasn't until a long time later that he picked up the pen again, took a piece of paper in his hand, and wrote these lines:
"When a person's heart is mapped to reality, it will always be affected by various factors: the expectations of others, the norms of society, and so on."
"Thus man is divided into two aspects: inner and outer......"
As I write this, the bell rings for the end of class.
Tetsufumi Hirakawa was stunned and stopped writing. Then fold the paper and put it aside.
Organize your emotions, prepare for class, and then go to class.
