After dinner, Xiu'e changed into new clothes that she was usually reluctant to wear, sat in front of the mirror, stretched out her face, took out balsam and powder and smeared it on her face, after carefully dressing up, looking at herself in the mirror, her heart was beautiful, and she smiled proudly, she walked to the door of the house, cautiously poked her head out, and saw that Grandma Gao had turned off the lights and fell asleep, went back to blow out the kerosene lamp, picked up the flashlight, tiptoed the cat's waist, gently opened the door, and then closed it very carefully, and disappeared into the night.

It was a Saturday, and the children did not study on their own in the evening, so the campus was quiet, and the bedroom of the director of Sang Shefa was still dimly lit, and the whole campus was dark.

"Hey—Lu Futian won't come, will he?" Xiu'e timidly asked Director Sang Shefa: "If you come, you can't tell you if you catch us?" ”

"He doesn't come back, he goes back to his hometown every Sunday."

"Then I'll be relieved." Xiu'e glanced at Director Sang Shefa: "What did you say about the 'evil old eagle'?" ”

"We must make an example of others, and we must not tolerate Liu Maomao's serious burglary." Sang She waved his hand proudly, and said very excitedly and treacherously: "Anyway, I have nothing to do all day, let Liu Maomao make a review at the whole school assembly, tie it with a rope, make a big sign around his neck, give a solemn warning, resolutely put an end to the elimination of this bad phenomenon, stop all his classes, and expel him directly if he does not reflect thoroughly." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, just fix him like this, see how he still jumps." Xiu'e looked at Sang Shefa's face very proudly, and then said, "Wouldn't you just be expelled?" You don't know - the 'evil old eagle' didn't go to school for a while, and the whole village was uneasy, and even the wheat bran for feeding the pigs was quietly stolen to his house. ”

"This kind of habitual stealing must not give him a place in the school." Sang She smiled weirdly, stretched out his thumb and praised Xiu'e and said: "I didn't expect your trick to be really amazing, I still have to go to the commune education group to report this matter to the superiors, as long as you Lu Futian block it, don't blame me for being ruthless, he will definitely stop it, I don't believe that you Lu Futian will not step down." ”

"I still have half the credit for you becoming the headmaster, you dead ghost." Xiu'e tilted her neck delicately, gently resisted Sang Shefa with her shoulders, and pretended to be shy. "Don't forget me, you have no conscience to forget me." Xiu'e came home late that night, and the rooster crowed before going back to .......

On Monday morning, Sang Shefa saw Principal Lu Futian from afar, his eyes rolled, he thought about it, and walked over and said:

"Principal Lu——, you can't underestimate Liu Maomao's matter, this is a very serious problem, if you don't handle it well, who will be responsible? This has a direct impact on the reputation of our school. Director Sang Social Development stubbornly muttered.

It seems that Director Sang Shefa is going to have a tendon, and it is impossible to hit his head on the south wall, and there is no room for maneuver at all.

"Liu Maomao's problem is the business of my teaching office." Director Sang Shefa began to go online, and said categorically: "This is how to do this."

Principal Lu Futian sighed, he couldn't say a word, he really regretted that he shouldn't have shaken this thing out.

"Ahh

Director Sang Shefa came to the third-grade classroom and called Gao Gao to his office.

After Director Sang Shefa left, Principal Lu Futian went to find Teacher Gao Canghai, and the two discussed for a long time.

"Be patient and enlighten Liu Maomao, don't be excesses, don't remember." Principal Lu Futian repeatedly admonished: "As long as you admit your mistakes thoroughly, you will ensure that there will be no problems in correcting them in the future." Who doesn't make a little mistake. ”

"Maomao, tell the teacher the truth, you don't have to be afraid, with your teacher Gao, I will take care of the big things for you." Teacher Gao Canghai called Liu Maomao to the office, just the two of them, closed the door behind his back, and looked at Liu Maomao sincerely and asked patiently. "Did you take the money from the Gao family? Honestly, where is the money now? ”

"......" Liu Maomao raised his head and glanced at Teacher Gao Canghai, his face was expressionless, and he lowered his head again, not saying a word.

"You don't have to be afraid, I said you don't have to be afraid, you just don't have to be afraid. But if you let the dean of teachings, Sang Shefa, handle this matter, you're really done. Teacher Gao Canghai pulled over a chair and put it behind Mao Mao, "Child, sit down, you sit down, now Principal Lu and I are doing our best to protect you, you should also see that Principal Lu keeps coming to my house, just to discuss your affairs, as long as you admit it, take out the money, you don't care about the future, I will bear the responsibility for you." I'll tell you when you've thought about it. Liu Maomao just stood there, bowing his head silently, his hands constantly rubbing the corners of his jacket. Teacher Gao turned his back and prepared the lesson in the textbook, which lasted for a long time.

Teacher Gao Canghai finally couldn't help it, turned around and asked, "Then do you still want to go to school?" ”

"Yes." Mao Mao replied timidly.

"Then why didn't you make it clear to me?" Teacher Gao Canghai asked with a little anger. "What if Director Sang fires you?"

"That's not going to school."

Teacher Gao Canghai's anger broke out instantly, raised his foot, and kicked Liu Maomao to sit on the ground, and the chair behind Liu Maomao also fell to the ground.

"Liu Maomao, do you want to be angry with me?" Teacher Gao Canghai's hand was trembling constantly, he clenched his fist, let go, clenched it again, and released it again.

"Maomao, I'm on your side, you remember me, I'm saving you, if you insist on going your own way to a dead end, your life will be ruined by yourself."

Liu Maomao still stood there silent.

"Where did you hide your money?" Teacher Gao Canghai held back his temper, suppressed his anger, and asked patiently. "It's not too late for you to take it out."

Liu Maomao just didn't say a word. Teacher Gao Canghai finally couldn't hold back, grabbed Liu Maomao's shoulders and shook them desperately.

"Do you speak? Can you really speak? Teacher Gao Canghai was angry and helplessly let go of Liu Maomao, and slapped him hard in the face, Liu Maomao stepped forward to pull, and was pushed to the ground by Teacher Gao Canghai, Liu Maomao looked at the teacher and tears flowed down.

Teacher Gao Canghai gradually calmed down, he tidied up his clothes, stood up and said, "Maomao, you stay here well, don't make a sound, whoever calls you for you, don't make a sound." ”

Teacher Gao Canghai closed the door, locked it, and walked outside the school as if nothing had happened.

In Director San's office.

"Stand up, stand up-" Director Sang Shefa said to Gao Gao sternly, wanting to deter Gao Gao with sternness, which means that the superiors have a certification to investigate. "What was Liu Maomao like in your village before? Is it a habitual thief? ”

"No" Gao Gao said categorically, but Gao Gao immediately thought that Liu Maomao must have made a mistake again, and the old problem began again? But besides, we are a village, a gang, and we must not compromise.

"I haven't heard of Liu Maomao stealing anything."

"You have to tell the truth, if you dare not tell the truth, you are covering up the crime." Director Sang thought to himself, this hairy boy has a hard mouth? "You should know the consequences of not telling the truth."

"I really didn't know that Liu Maomao was a thief, you said he was a thief, did you catch him stealing?"

"It's just caught."

"Then what do you ask me to do?"

"You ......" Director Sang Shefa saw that there was nothing to do, and said to Gao Gao: "Let Lu Ruru come, you can go." Let your mother come to me in the afternoon. ”

Gao Gao returned to the classroom and walked to Lu Ruru, looked behind him, and then whispered to Ru Ru's ear: "I don't know which bastard accused the old eagle of stealing in front of Director Sang, you must remember, no matter how Director Sang scares, don't say that Mao Mao is a thief, remember." Lu Ruru nodded and walked out of the classroom tremblingly.

"I think you Ru Ru is a very good boy, I ask you, don't lie, learn to be an honest good boy." Director Sang Shefa looked at Ru Ru and nodded timidly, and then said: "Liu Maomao stole other people's money, and the amount stolen was huge, maybe the Public Security Bureau will come to investigate this matter, so in order to protect Liu Maomao, you must answer my question truthfully." Ru Ru nodded again, not daring to face Director Sang Shefa.

"Did Liu Maomao often steal other people's things at home before?"

"Liu, Liu, Liu Maomao, I haven't seen or stolen things." Ru Ru raised his head, shook it, glanced at Director Sang, and then lowered his head again.

"Nonsense-" Director Sang Shefa was annoyed and slammed the table, startling Ru Ru.

"I've never seen Mao Mao steal anything, and he won't tell me if he steals? Woo woo woo woo - " Ru Ru cried in fright.

"Shut up – if you don't tell the truth, you'll stand up for me." Ru Ru was so frightened that she didn't dare to cry anymore, trembling all over, and standing there very uncomfortably.

Gao Canghai saw that no one was paying attention, so he tiptoed out of the school and came to Liu Maomao's house, he was already sweating, and saw Maomao's family situation, although it was simple, but it was very tidy, and Teacher Gao Canghai couldn't help but sigh.

"Who?" Chun Tao had already heard the sound of someone coming in. "Come—sit in the house."

"Alas, alas—well—" Gao Canghai lowered his head and walked into the dimly litched hut, Chun Tao hurriedly stood up with a cane, stretched out his hand and touched a stool and handed it over.

"Who-sit, sit on the stool, Chun Tao-" Liu Ju struggled to sit up from the bed, but was hurriedly held down by Gao Canghai and asked, "Are you sick?" ”

"Oops—it's a sick old man," Liu Ju said, still struggling to sit up. There were a few bottles of medicine at the head of the bed, and Mr. Gao Canghai seemed to understand a lot.

"That year, I went to work for someone else, and the wall collapsed and broke his leg." Chun Tao continued: "I haven't been cured yet, I can't stay long, no, it's ulcering again." These days, the high fever does not go away, unconscious, and tormenting. This is not yesterday to buy medicine, now it is much lighter. ”

When Gao Canghai saw this, his face was full of sorrow and infinite pity.

"You are?"

"I'm Maomao's homeroom teacher."

"Ahh

"I'll make you some tea, Niuniu—go, go to your second aunt's house and borrow some eggs, borrow more." Chun Tao knocked on the ground with her cane and walked out. "Niu Niu-" but Niu Niu never appeared.

"I'm here to visit the house, don't bother." Gao Canghai hurriedly took Chun Tao's arm and asked her to sit down and said, "Today is very urgent, I have to go to Ruru and Gao Gao's house." ”

"Maomao, this kid, has been naughty since he was a child, and he must have made you angry at school, you have to discipline him harshly, and if you don't obey, you will hit him hard on the buttocks."

"No, no, no, no. This child not only studies well, but also works very hard, and is the first in the school, and I like this child very much. Chun Tao insisted on going out to borrow eggs, Gao Canghai also shirked and ran out, and Chun Tao stood at the gate and said goodbye very regretfully.

"I came, I didn't even drink my saliva."

Gao Canghai saw Mao Mao's family background, his heart was surging, too unexpected, he looked up at the vicissitudes of the old locust tree in front of him for a long time, his mood was extremely heavy, and he also blamed himself in his heart, why didn't he visit his home before? Thinking of what Mao Mao was asked about in the office, Gao Canghai began to regret it.

Gao Gao's grandmother heard that it was Gao Gao's teacher who came, and she reluctantly let Gao Canghai into the house, and she spoke coldly, so that people could know at a glance that they were not the kind of person with ordinary hearts. Grandma Gao Gao has gone up and down a large number of Gao Canghai teachers more than once, as if she can't tell if this person is real or fake. But when asked about Maomao, Gao Canghai was really surprised.
