Another middle-aged woman dressed in a Lenin suit said to Guan Wenru with envy, "Comrade Guan, you are so lucky to have children! You are so blessed! These three young men are so lovable!"
Upon hearing this, He Yanzhi hugged his wife tightly around the waist, and a proud smile appeared on his usually serious face.
Guan Wenru was a little embarrassed by the praise, but felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey.
He Yi seized the opportunity and snapped a photo, forever capturing the heartwarming moment of his parents smiling at each other on film.
Inside and outside the Great Wall, the autumn breeze is refreshing, filled with the laughter of families and the heartfelt praise of passersby.
......
The morning after their fun, the triplets went to school as usual. He Sheng walked to his seat as usual, and as soon as he put down his schoolbag, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
His desk wasn't as clean as usual; instead, it was piled high with odds and ends...
A few fruit hard candies wrapped in pretty candy wrappers, a small bag of animal crackers, and even a big red apple and a few oranges.
Although not particularly expensive, it was an excellent snack for children in an era of relative scarcity.
He Sheng scratched his head, looking confused. "Who...who put this in the wrong place?"
Just then, the class monitor, with her two little braids, walked over carrying a stack of homework books. Seeing his silly look, she couldn't help but laugh and whispered to him:
"Class monitor, there's no mistake! These were all secretly left here by your classmates. They said they were to thank you for bravely standing up yesterday! Everyone admires you! Please accept them!"
He Sheng was stunned for a moment, then realized it was because of Wang Xiaohu's matter.
A warm feeling and a small sense of pride welled up in my heart instantly.
But he tried hard to keep a straight face, mimicking the tone of a hero in a movie, and with a wave of his hand, said in a deliberately profound manner:
"Ahem! It's nothing! I just helped out when I saw injustice! I, He Sheng, never seek fame or reward for my good deeds! I appreciate everyone's kindness, so please distribute the gifts!"
His deskmate, a quick-witted boy, burst out laughing and exposed him:
"Come on, you mean 'keep a low profile'? You weren't keeping a low profile at all when you charged in yesterday!"
He Sheng, feeling a little embarrassed by being exposed, chuckled twice, but persisted:
"Anyway, I can't keep all this food to myself. Sharing is caring! Come on, let's all share!"
As he spoke, he actually started distributing the snacks on the table to the students around him.
The students accepted the gifts with laughter, and the atmosphere in the classroom became exceptionally harmonious.
After sharing the snacks, He Sheng's deskmate leaned over mysteriously and whispered, "Hey, He Sheng, I have something to tell you! That Teacher Zhang, the one who took sides yesterday, I heard she got a severe scolding from the principal in his office this morning, her face turned green!"
He Sheng raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
He felt a little pleased.
My deskmate continued gossiping, "And Wang Xiaohu, he didn't come either! Someone said his parents transferred him to another school! He probably couldn't bear to stay there any longer!"
He Sheng hummed in agreement, but didn't say anything more.
...
Two days later, the news became more certain.
Teacher Zhang never appeared at school again. Some students said he was transferred to the logistics department to manage the warehouse, while others said he was simply fired.
Wang Xiaohu did indeed transfer to a school that no one had ever heard of.
A curious classmate secretly asked He Sheng, "Class monitor, do you know what happened? Why did Teacher Zhang suddenly stop teaching us? Is it related to your dad coming to school that day?"
He Sheng shook his head innocently, blinking his big eyes, "I don't know? My dad just came to pick me up from school."
He said that, but a knowing smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
He knows perfectly well what's going on!
That night, when he got up to get a drink of water, he vaguely heard his father making a phone call in the study, mentioning words like the Education Bureau, teacher ethics, and unsuitability for the job in a serious tone.
He knew his dad wouldn't let it go so easily.
That teacher who took sides, acted indiscriminately, and almost got them beaten, doesn't deserve to stand on the podium at all!
Hmph, you reap what you sow.
He Sheng silently muttered to himself, feeling incredibly relaxed. He took out his textbook, straightened his back, and began preparing for his morning reading.
