Chapter 39: Whether you come from the capital or heaven
The child’s tender and sharp voice cut through the gloomy atmosphere of the office.
Principal Wang's face was ashen, and he was obviously angry. "Zhang Zijie, if you do something wrong, you must apologize, otherwise I will find your parents and ask them to bring you to apologize to the teacher!"
Zhang Zijie stiffened his neck and showed a firm attitude.
"Go ahead. My parents don't want me anymore, and my grandma is blind. Who can you find?"
The atmosphere changed suddenly and became heavy again.
Principal Wang slapped his forehead, feeling really regretful that he had lost his temper and ignored Zhang Zijie's family situation.
"Zhang Zijie, I was too harsh just now. I apologize to you. Can you please apologize to Teacher Wang?"
Principal Wang softened his attitude, "Teacher Jing is from the imperial capital, you can pass..."
Zhang Zijie was interrupted in the middle of his words, and disgust was written all over his face. Kids of this age simply can't hide things.
"Principal, I know she's from the capital. Our whole class knows about it. Besides, we've heard it so many times that our ears are almost callused!"
The little boy retorted loudly to vent his anger, his eyes wide open.
"Anyway, we just don't like her. It doesn't matter if she came from the capital or heaven. We just don't like her. We only like Teacher Zhou!"
Jing Xiaoran listened to the whole thing with red eyes, she broke down emotionally and tears burst out again.
He actually compared her to a secondary school teacher training student. Jing Xiaoran choked up and cursed, "You can't tell the difference between good and bad. You are just a piece of mud that can't be helped!"
"Xiao Jing!"
"Respect to the teacher!"
Three voices rang out in the office at the same time, coming from Principal Wang, Zhao Xiaoying and Gu Cancan.
Zhao Xiaoying could no longer bear it, "Teacher Jing, how could you say such harsh words to a child? Now that things have come to this, I won't hold it back any more."
"Just now after class, a fifth-grade student came to me and told me that you were suppressing the children. Is this true?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became solemn and serious.
Xia Mi's heart skipped a beat and she watched what would happen.
All eyes were focused on Jing Xiaoran. Her pupils shrank, as if something was stuck in her throat.
She was silent for a long time, then opened her mouth to explain, "I didn't."
"You'll know if you ask the children. You can't trust the troublemakers, but can't you trust the other children?"
Zhao Xiaoying had no intention of letting her go.
"Okay, I'll take care of this. It's past class time, so don't delay the children's study time. Teachers, go to class first."
Principal Wang interrupted.
"headmaster?"
When Principal Wang gave Zhao Xiaoying a look, she instantly felt a surge of anger in her stomach. She took up the textbook more vigorously as if to vent her anger, making a loud noise to show her dissatisfaction.
Xia Mi hurried out with her things in her arms. As soon as she entered the classroom, she saw Zhang Zijie passing by the door.
The chalk writing action paused, wondering, so fast? It seems that he did not verify it with Zhang Zijie.
Xia Mi gathered her thoughts and continued her lecture. -The atmosphere in the office was depressing in the afternoon, as the incident in the morning had not been concluded.
Changes occurred between Zhao Xiaoying and Jing Xiaoran. Zhao Xiaoying was absent from the afternoon training. Jing Xiaoran spoke for a few words and then said she was in a bad mood, so the training ended.
Gu Cancan held Xia Mi, "Teacher Xia, you have a good relationship with Teacher Zhao. Is what Teacher Zhao said this morning true?"
"What does this have to do with my relationship with her?"
Gu Cancan choked, "I thought she told you about this. You two went back to the office together, so you should be able to meet a student who complained, right?"
"Teacher Zhao has no grudge against Teacher Jing, so why would you make up a lie to slander her?"
Gu Cancan was even more embarrassed, waved his hands to deny, and hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant. I'm just curious about how Teacher Jing suppressed me."
Xia Mi looked at Gu Cancan, speechless for a moment.
"Suppression means belittling students and praising the students of the Imperial Capital. Comparing them everywhere creates pressure, and we want students to turn the pressure into motivation to move forward."
Gu Cancan is in charge of the school's music and ideology and morality, and only realized the seriousness of the situation belatedly.
"This... Can a child this young figure it out?"
"Everyone has a different understanding. This kind of education has a big disadvantage, which is that it will magnify the child's inferiority complex."
Xia Mi stopped talking and prepared to go see Zhao Xiaoying, "If everything is fine, I'll go back first."
Gu Cancan stopped pestering Xia Mi.
When Xia Mi went there, she happened to run into Zhao Xiaoying head on. She looked angry, as if she was going to pick a fight with someone.
"Xia Mi, you're here just in time. Come with me to find Principal Wang. We must make things clear today."
After saying that, Zhao Xiaoying pulled Xia Mi's hand and walked out without saying anything, determined to get an explanation.
"Teacher Zhao, wait a minute."
Xia Mi was suddenly led to walk quickly, her muscles began to ache, and her expression was distorted.
Zhao Xiaoying looked back and saw Xia Mi's face full of pain, so she quickly let go of her hand, "I'm sorry, Teacher Xia, I forgot that your leg hurts."
"It doesn't matter. Don't be impulsive. This matter will definitely have a result, but not now."
"Why not now?"
"What result do you want? To drive Teacher Jing away, or to make her apologize to so many students? She graduated from a prestigious university in the capital, and her first job was to teach and train the teachers. Which one do you think she can do?"
"Or do you want Principal Wang to be forced to drive them away, so that there will be no one to take care of the fifth and sixth grades?"
After Xia Mi said this, Zhao Xiaoying calmed down.
But she still looked unconvinced, "You have a point, but should we let her continue like this? You also heard her scolding Zhang Zijie today. No matter what, you can't say this in front of the children."
"Don't worry about this. I just noticed that Mr. Jing was called into the principal's office. He must have a solution."
Xia Mi was glad that she came, otherwise if Zhao Xiaoying rushed over, things might become even more chaotic.
"real?"
Xia Mi nodded, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."
Zhao Xiaoying also gradually calmed down and complained, "Everyone admires and respects her because she graduated from a prestigious school, but she doesn't respect the children at all."
"Okay, go back and rest. I'll go back first."
Xia Mi really didn't want to get involved.
After watching Zhao Xiaoying return to the dormitory, Xia Mi walked to the school gate and found a tall figure who had been waiting at the gate for a long time.
Huo Jingchen joked, "I thought you were strong enough to go fishing again. If it was any later, I would have gone to the beach to pick you up."
"You still have the nerve to say that!" Xia Mi scolded, walked over and sat in the back seat, she put her arms around the man's waist.
"I'm going on a business trip for a few days next week. I might be gone for a week. If you have anything you want to bring, take some time to think about it in the next few days and make a list for me."
"See if there are any mosquito nets for sale. When I turn on the lights at night, the room is full of bugs."
Xia Mi was worried that there would be more in the summer. There were no mosquito coils those days, and by then they would be like moving blood bags.
"When will your foster parents come?"
Xia Mi finally reacted. After calculating the time, it seemed that Huo Jingchen's business trip coincided with their arrival.
