Chapter 48 How to be Equal
Ning Yuzhu, the tutor of Chen Chen's class. At this moment, she was standing in her office, with her back to Chenchen. Although she is not as tall as Teacher Qu, Teacher Ning is also well-developed, taller than the current Chenchen, and she is also very majestic when she is angry.
"Okay, Chenchen, sleeping in class, beating up classmates, is there anything you can't do?!"
Sleeping in class? Assaulting classmates? He didn't have to quibble with the first one, but he couldn't figure out the latter one, except for the first time when he helped the watchmaker's child, in the academy he always only used his mouth but didn't do anything. Could it be that the Cui family said it? No, I've gotten to that point, can't I? No, at such a time, you should first probe the teacher's tone.
"Wronged, teacher, although I am listless in class every day, I am definitely not a bad student, and I will not fight my dear classmates." Chen Chen deliberately said in a very dramatic tone, as if he had suffered some great grievance.
"Really?" Teacher Ning's face seemed to soften.
"All kinds of such words can be proved by heaven and earth, and the sun and moon can be learned." Chen Chen said with a straight face.
"Then tell me, where did the wound on Xiao Wang's face come from?" Teacher Ning seems to have lost his anger and can communicate well.
Xiao Wang, the student who seduced Chen Chen outside the school? Chen Chen rubbed his temples, he really shocked the Cui family, so that they would not dare to make a mistake in the future, but he didn't expect that the person they used to lure him out of the hole was not from their family.
"Don't play tricks on me, he can say that you did it, explain it to me well."
Chen Chen finally put away his hanging appearance, and the sunlight hit his side face, making his expression as resolute as a rock: "Teacher, let me ask you, if you are a student and see a group of boys bullying a student in the academy, will you rush to stop it?" ”
Although Mr. Ning was a little confused, he still replied honestly: "Yes, of course it will." ”
"And what if you knew in advance that group of people were nobles you couldn't afford to mess with anyway?" Chenchen lowered his eyebrows, and the sun spread on his slender eyelashes. (Sorry, I've been reading a lot of literary and artistic texts lately)
Although he didn't know what Chen Chen was going to say, Teacher Ning was obviously a little annoyed by his feeling of leading his nose: "No matter what the other party's identity is, it's not right to bully more or less, I will definitely rush forward without thinking about it...... Having said all that, what the hell do you mean?! ”
"Wait," Teacher Ning was not a stupid person, and immediately understood what Chen Chen meant, "You mean you only made a move because you helped other students?" ”
"Yes, I was walking down the hallway in the school building when I saw a group of people pressing a man to the ground and beating him...... When I drove the group away, I asked him why they were bullying him...... Just because of jealousy, jealousy that he has something that does not correspond to his identity, they fight and do not care about each other's feelings and lives......"
Chen Chen said as he unconsciously clenched his hands. Although he usually looks like he doesn't care about anything, he is only a twelve-year-old boy at the end of the day. Since childhood, Teacher Yu has taught them the truth that everyone is equal, but the tough laws here constantly remind his senses and make him feel the whole world in microcosm, all of which is disgusting.
Teacher Ning heard the emotion in Chenchen's words, and didn't answer immediately, but just walked to the window, leaving a certain amount of space for each of them.
"After that, those nobles didn't want to let me go. As I walked around the academy, I could always feel dangerous gazes coming from places out of my sight...... Finally, they made a move today, and it was Xiao Wang, who you said, who led me outside the academy and to the place where seven or eight of them were ambushed, wanting to teach me some lessons......"
"That's ...... so"
The window still looks so lush, and the dazzling green is all over the roadside, the treetops, and the soles of the feet. Even more incompatible, a withered yellow leaf fell from a tree in the middle of nowhere and floated to the ground.
"You believe me?" Chen Chen asked with a frown.
"Believe." Unexpectedly, Teacher Ning, who was standing by the window, replied.
Looking up, the sun in the sky, which had always been incomparably bright, was a little dim for some reason at the moment. Why are you so fair, O sun, that you can give your light to everyone? Why are you so unfair, that there is so much darkness in the world that you can't illuminate?
"I have a dream that, while unrealistic, is worth defending with my entire teaching career. I hope that the class I lead will no longer have oppression and differences, nor will there be contradictions and antagonisms, and everyone will come here for the purpose of learning, and after going out, they will carry forward what they have learned...... This is also the idea of the academy leader Qi Zhongxuan, but he is standing too high, and there are many things he can't do......
That being said, the atmosphere inside the academy is closely related to the outside. The officials protect each other and shade each other, but they look down on the low-level people who work hard, and regard them as tools for playing with power. Civilians grew up in this environment, and naturally thought that they were born out of the mud in the river.
Everyone has been immersed in this environment since childhood, and it is not easy to change their minds, even if it takes years and decades of hard work, the final result may not be ideal. Even so, Chen Chen could see the raging flames burning in Teacher Ning's eyes and the surging heart that could peek through the flames.
Seeing this, Chen Chen's heart suddenly moved, and a question blurted out: "Mentor, how long have you been a teacher?" ”
"This is the first year, in other words, you guys are the first class I've ever led!" Teacher Ning's gaze moved from the window to Chenchen's body, and his eyes revealed a kind of excitement and unexplained ...... Proud?
Wow, I said a bunch of such beautiful things, but I turned out to be just a fledgling rookie. And looking at her expression, it seems to mean "Look at me even if I am a teacher in my first year, I still manage you so well, praise me!" Chen Chen pulled the corners of his mouth unnaturally, his eyes rolled a few times, and he still decided to encourage the lonely traveler in front of him.
"It turns out that we are the first class you have led, don't worry, for now, your ability is the highest among those teachers who have been dismissed!"
"Okay, Chenchen, don't run, I haven't calculated with you the matter of sleeping in class yet! Hold it! ”
