Besiege Wei to Save Zhao
"At this time now," Li Wenxiu glanced at the clock on the wall and turned back to look at the two students, "afternoon classes are about to start."
At the door, the teacher, wearing a white shirt and a skirt, seemed to have just washed dishes, and her hands were still a little wet.
Jiang Qing smiled brightly, "We wanted to come and see you."
Li Wenxiu made way for the door and said, "Come in."
"Please sit down first," she turned and walked into the kitchen, "I'll wash some fruit for you."
Jiang Qing and Ye Meiyan sat down on the sofa and looked around.
The walls were covered with white wallpaper, but the chairs were mahogany with mottled and warped corners. The floor was a flat cement floor, and even though it was clean, it couldn't hide the oldness of the facilities.
The room is not very big, and all you can see are women's products. It's obvious that Teacher Li lives alone.
Li Wenxiu brought out the sliced apples and sweet pears that were arranged in an interlaced manner, placed a small fork on them, and took out the roses from under the coffee table, soaked them in the teapot, and poured two cups of scented tea.
She sat on a chair opposite the coffee table, her sky blue skirt slowly spreading out.
"Why did you suddenly think of visiting the teacher?" She smiled and pushed the flower tea in front of the two students.
Jiang Qing took a sip. The flower tea itself had no taste, only a slight floral fragrance.
"The math teacher from Class 8 is here to substitute for our class today," she said, looking up.
Ye Meiyan added: "It's Teacher Li Qinyun."
"Yeah." Li Wenxiu wasn't surprised. When she left, there had to be a replacement teacher, but who would be the right one...
His brows furrowed slightly, then quickly relaxed. "Teacher Li Qinyun is quite proficient in graphics. When he teaches you, he will focus more on graphics."
Jiang Qing understood what the teacher meant. Li Qinyun was a quirky person and was a substitute teacher. The class's grades were of no use to him and he could just get by by reading from the textbook.
For these students, it’s better to learn whatever they can. Anyway, they will be entering the third year of high school soon and have already learned what they need to learn.
"Meiyan, you're the math class representative," Li Wenxiu instructed her class representative, "You can't stop practicing the daily exercises and papers. Even if I'm not here, you have to make sure the students hand them in on time."
Ye Meiyan nodded: "Okay, teacher."
"And you," Li Wenxiu called out, "Jiang Qing, you've been a little distracted lately. If you have any thoughts, you can talk to the teacher. Don't keep them to yourself."
"You're going to be a senior soon, so you need to get back on track as soon as possible. Math is difficult, but knowing how to do a question can earn you a few extra points. Sometimes, those few points are all that matter on a test."
Li Wenxiu's voice was neither too high nor too low, and her tone was gentle, which was both criticism and persuasion.
Jiang Qing kept nodding in agreement. She certainly knew Teacher Li's good intentions, but now there were a lot of things blocking her way and she couldn't just turn a blind eye.
If one day everything is resolved and she can still stay in this time and space, she promised her teacher that she will study hard and be a student with a good attitude.
But now—
"Teacher, when will you come back to teach us?" Jiang Qing blinked her big eyes. "I couldn't quite understand what the teacher in Class 8 was talking about this morning."
Li Wenxiu lowered her head and pulled out a paper covered in red strokes from the coffee table. "What don't you understand?"
The corner of Jiang Qing's eyes twitched. That's not what she meant!
He stretched out his hand and pointed randomly, "Here, here, and here."
Ye Meiyan turned her eyes away, unable to bear to look.
Li Wenxiu realized that she had misunderstood. She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "Don't be naughty."
"I didn't," Jiang Qing said confidently, "He didn't have a teacher to begin with, so you're right."
Li Wenxiu put down the test paper and handed Jiang Qing a piece of fruit. "I've been on leave for a few days. Please save your questions and submit them to me when I get back."
Jiang Qing took a bite of the crisp apple, and the sweet juice flowed on her tongue.
“Doesn’t the school have a set return date?” she asked.
Li Wenxiu's smile froze for a moment. She said nonchalantly, "What date? I'll go back when the teacher's not busy anymore."
"Then when is the teacher not busy?" Jiang Qing asked, "There's always a rough time frame."
"This..." Li Wenxiu couldn't answer. Zhang Kuo's words "go back and wait for notification" made it difficult for her to promise anything to the students.
"Maybe a few days," she opened her mouth, "maybe half a month..."
"Teacher," Jiang Qing interrupted her, "It's because of the video from that day, right?"
Li Wenxiu: “…”
Although she had a vague premonition by the end of the conversation, she still didn't expect Jiang Qing to be so straightforward.
"When the time comes," she sighed helplessly, "the teacher will go back."
This is an indirect acknowledgement of Jiang Qing's statement.
"Was it the director who asked you to come back or was it Teacher Zhang who asked you to come back?" Ye Meiyan asked.
Since the students already knew everything, there was no point in hiding it any longer, so Li Wenxiu told everything she knew.
"Director Li didn't show up. It was Teacher Zhang who notified me," she reassured the two students. "It's not a big deal. It will be over after a while."
"I shouldn't have let you come back in the first place," Jiang Qing said angrily. "What school rule forbids teachers from providing sex education in class?"
"They don't want to do it, but they insist on forbidding you to do it. How does it affect them if students know more about sex?"
"Teacher, I think you're right. It's the school's handling of the matter that's problematic," she said, looking at Li Wenxiu seriously. "The report shouldn't have been successful in the first place."
Li Wenxiu was stunned. She didn't expect that Jiang Qing was even more indignant than her.
"Just remember the key points I've given you," she smiled. "I've been teaching for such a long time, so I'll just take a couple of days off."
"Students should just study hard and not think too much about other things."
"Teacher, I have received your kindness."
Although Li Wenxiu accepted the school's decision calmly, Jiang Qing said she could not accept such unfair treatment.
Jiang Qing went back to the past, not to suffer injustice.
"Teacher," Jiang Qing clenched her fist and said with great confidence, "We are going to 'besiege Wei to save Zhao'."
"???" Li Wenxiu felt so out of touch that she couldn't keep up with the times. She couldn't understand what the students were saying. She asked hesitantly, "What do you mean by 'Besiege Wei to Save Zhao'?"
Jiang Qing's fingertips moved slightly, and Ye Meiyan took out her cell phone tacitly.
Li Wenxiu looked at the enlarged design drawing handed to her and fell silent.
"This is a promotional image we designed specifically for this project," Jiang Qing explained enthusiastically. "It's a unique, one-of-a-kind design, created by concentrating the artistic aesthetics and design inspirations of all the top students in our class and consulting a wide range of resources."
"Teacher, what do you think?"
Li Wenxiu: ...
She didn't feel anything, just that her head was very big.
Jiang Qing didn't notice, she was still dancing with joy, "We plan to print it into a brochure and distribute it to every student on campus before the holidays."
"Do you know that the college entrance examination is coming soon for senior high school students?" Li Wenxiu suddenly asked, looking up.
"I know." Jiang Qing didn't think the college entrance examination had anything to do with what she was going to do.
"So you're going to distribute promotional posters on campus now?" Li Wenxiu didn't understand what the students were thinking. "The college entrance exam is only two days away, and you're going to cause a sensation at this time?"
"But," Jiang Qing was puzzled, "this is actually a very normal thing. It won't affect anything. We shouldn't take it so seriously."
"You're right, this was originally a normal thing," Li Wenxiu said calmly, without refutation of Jiang Qing's words. "But in reality, it has become less normal."
“Jiang Qing, we live in reality,” Li Wenxiu said, “not in a vacuum.”
For a moment, Jiang Qing felt confused.
Why can't people be a little more idealistic? Even if she went back to the past, couldn't she be idealistic for once?
If a person's steps do not move forward a little bit at a time in the direction of his ideal, then the ideal will ultimately be like the moon in the water, which will scatter at the slightest touch.
Li Wenxiu felt bad after saying these words that hurt the students.
After a pause, she said, "Even if the students don't care, what about the senior teachers? What about the homeroom teacher? And what do the grade director and the principal think?"
Jiang Qing stole a glance at the teacher and said quickly, "The law doesn't punish everyone."
"Well, the law doesn't blame the masses," Li Wenxiu said with a helpless smile, "but you can blame the little leaders."
Blame it if you want. If she finds a few more people, will he be able to blame them all? Jiang Qing complained inwardly.
"I didn't think clearly just now," Jiang Qing reluctantly postponed her plan, which only meant a little more time wasted. "The senior students will be out of school earlier this afternoon than us. We should avoid them and make our move after they leave school. What do you think, teacher?"
Li Wenxiu is really having a headache as she hasn't given up this idea yet.
"you......"
Before he could finish his words, Ye Meiyan, who had been silent beside him, suddenly spoke up: "Teacher, aren't you curious about how we know your address?"
Li Wenxiu was stunned: "What?"
"We learned this from Director Li Feng," Ye Meiyan said, looking into Li Wenxiu's eyes. "The report appeared in the principal's mailbox, but there was no official notice. Even Director Li didn't show up. In other words, your handling of the matter is based on private rules, and the timeframe is flexible."
"We wanted to come visit you, and we already had your address," she said meaningfully. "Before that, we had posted flyers all over campus, and Director Li knew about it."
Li Wenxiu had naturally heard about the commotion caused by several students in her class a few days ago. Director Li even criticized Zhang Kuo specifically as a warning, and the news spread throughout the office.
Ye Meiyan asked, "What do you think Director Li means?"
What does it mean? Li Wenxiu realized.
She didn't expect that Director Li knew the whole process of her punishment and could even give her home address without worrying about it, allowing the student to make a big fuss.
In this matter, Li Wenxiu admitted that her heart was not as strong as Li Feng's.
No wonder he can be the head teacher.
Li Wenxiu reflected on herself in silence.
Jiang Qing instantly understood the teacher's attitude. In fact, the teacher probably agreed with it in his heart, but he chose to stop them because of many concerns.
She cast an admiring look at Ye Meiyan. You are indeed my cigarette! I am rooting for you like crazy!
Ye Meiyan nodded modestly to show that she had received it.
The two of them exchanged glances here, and Li Wenxiu also figured out some things in the quiet atmosphere.
The students have good intentions and want to do good things.
As a teacher, she should not have stood in the way, but should have supported them from behind.
What's more, she was the one who started the incident.
"Do what you want. You are braver than the teacher," Li Wenxiu said with a smile, looking at the two students who had different grades but equally noble character. "But don't worry about the teacher's affairs."
Jiang Qing, who was trying to suppress her excitement, was dumbfounded when she heard this.
"Why?"
Li Wenxiu looked at Ye Meiyan: "What about you? Do you want to ask too?"
Ye Meiyan was stunned by the question, then nodded.
She also wanted to know why Teacher Li seemed willing to be punished, as if she felt the school's handling was appropriate.
