Chapter 36 Punishment
Manbao's parents were called to school on his first day.
Even Qian, who was in poor health, hurried out of the room and rushed to the school with the support of little Qian.
The Bai family is also very fast.
Mr. Bai had been called to the school many times as a parent this year. He knew that his son had a bad record in school, and he also knew that if there was a fight, he would definitely be the one who got beaten, so he was not in a hurry.
But when he heard that Bai Shanbao was also involved in the fight, he could no longer sit still. Bai Shanbao was different from his son. He was a treasure.
Mr. Bai did not dare to delay and quickly notified his aunt and brother's wife, so the Bai family also came in a grand manner.
The two families met at the school gate.
On one side were silks and satins, on the other side were patched cloths, but the same thing was the anxiety on their faces.
Judging solely from the number of people, the two sides are evenly matched.
But now neither side had the intention of looking at each other. Qian and another old lady who seemed to be of similar age walked quickly towards Mr. Zhuang's residence.
Xiao Qian supported Qian and they met the other party at the door. Although Qian was anxious, she still pulled her daughter-in-law to stop and let the other party go first.
The other party also paused. Seeing that Qian was willing to give way, she did not hesitate. She helped her daughter-in-law across the gate and hurried inside.
In the yard, four children were standing in a row, and Mr. Zhuang was sitting on a chair angrily without saying a word.
The two families who rushed in saw their children standing upright and occasionally exchanging glances, so they knew that there was no big problem. Whether it was the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who arrived first or the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who arrived later, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they also ignored the children who were looking at them eagerly and went to apologize to Mr. Zhuang together.
When children fight at school, they feel ashamed even if they don't know the reason.
Seeing their politeness, Mr. Zhuang's expression softened a bit. He then pointed at the four children and said, "Let's not talk about these two. The other three are my students. The fact that they fought outside the school is because I didn't teach them well enough. I called your two families here today, firstly, so you can go back and teach your children, and secondly, to let you know that I will pay special attention to these three children from now on. This will also help you parents understand how to reward and punish them."
Mr. Zhuang met Bai Shanbao when he went to the Bai family yesterday. At that time, Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also met Mr. Zhuang and agreed to let Bai Shanbao go to school with him. So strictly speaking, Bai Shanbao is also Mr. Zhuang's student.
Mrs. Liu took a look at the fair and tender girl next to her grandson and knew that she was Zhou Man, a disciple of Mr. Zhuang. Mr. Zhuang went to the Bai family yesterday to discuss her enrollment.
Mrs. Liu certainly didn't believe her grandson would fight with such a soft-hearted girl, so she glanced at Bai Erlang and Ertou, lowered her head and asked, "Mr. Zhuang, I wonder why these children are fighting?"
Mr. Zhuang was obviously already angry, but he couldn't help but feel angry again when he mentioned it again. He put the stone in his hand on the stone table and said calmly: "For this stone."
Everyone stared at the stone, but couldn't see what was different about it. Aren't there many such stones on the road?
Mr. Bai was the first to attack Bai Erlang. He slapped him on the head and said angrily, "I told you not to study hard and touch stones. Why are you fighting with your cousin just for a stone?"
Bai Erlang covered his head and said, "I didn't fight him, I was helping him. I don't even care about such a stinky piece of stone. There are many more beautiful things in my room!"
Mr. Bai looked at Ertou, and this was the one fighting with Shanbao.
Seeing that he was about the same size as Shanbao, but the country boy was definitely stronger, he couldn't help but worry. He wondered if Shanbao was really hurt, otherwise his aunt would probably cry to death.
Mrs. Liu was also a little worried, but with Mr. Zhuang here, she couldn't do anything. However, her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zheng, couldn't help herself. She pulled Bai Shanbao over, felt him up and down, and asked, "Shanbao, where are you hurt?"
Manbao, who was standing aside, made faces at him. Bai Shanbao, whose eyes were already welling with tears and who was about to burst into tears, immediately stopped crying and glared back at him fiercely. Relying on the support of his grandmother and mother, he even wanted to push Manbao away.
Xiao Qian quickly pulled Manbao over and held him in her arms.
So the adults from the two families met face to face.
Ertou, who was standing aside, was being stared at by Master Bai and was extremely frightened. He turned around and saw his father, then threw himself into his arms and cried loudly, "Dad, Dad, I didn't hit him, he hit me!"
Bai Shanbao also turned his head to take a look, and imitated Manbao's face, saying, "Defeated opponent!"
He turned around and complained to his mother, "Mom, it wasn't him who hit me, it was her!"
Everyone followed his finger and saw Manbao, and fell silent for a moment.
Mr. Zhuang added: "Bai Shan hit Ertou, and Manbao started fighting with Bai Shan. Ertou wanted to help, so Bai Cheng fought with Ertou. None of the four of them were left behind."
Mr. Zhuang said, "I think the child is just too energetic. Putting aside the second one, I'll take the child home and teach him a lesson. Bai Cheng, you have to write twenty characters tonight. Bai Shan, Man Bao, you each have to write ten characters. I'll check tomorrow."
Bai Cheng was unwilling to accept it, "Sir, why do I write more than them?"
"Because you are older than them, and they were fighting, not only did you not stop them, but you also fanned the flames and participated in it. Tell me, should you be punished?"
"It shouldn't be heavier than theirs."
Mr. Zhuang said calmly, "Twenty-five characters."
Mr. Bai glared at his son, and Bai Erlang could only shrink his neck and lower his head.
After knowing that it was Manbao who had fought with Bai Shanbao, Liu and Zheng felt embarrassed. They looked at Manbao, who was obviously shorter and thinner than Shanbao and was a girl, smiled embarrassedly, hugged Bai Shanbao, but did not mention whether he was injured or not.
Xiao Qian secretly touched Manbao, who seemed to feel itchy and giggled and hid for a while.
Qian and Little Qian, who were observing carefully, both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The child did not look like he was injured.
The parents of both sides accepted the punishment on behalf of their children. The parents of the Bai family also took Bai Erlang and Bai Shanbao to apologize to Ertou and Manbao.
There's no way around it. Bai Erlang is older than Ertou, and Bai Shanbao is not only older than Manbao, but they're also boys versus girls. The Bai family all feel that their own children are getting the upper hand.
And the reason for the fight was something as trivial as snatching a stone.
But not to mention Bai Erlang, even Bai Shanbao was stubborn and refused to bow his head, and even snorted at Manbao.
Manbao was not to be outdone and glared at him as well. There was nothing they could do. Seeing that the two children didn't seem to be able to admit their mistakes, in order not to tarnish their image in front of Mr. Zhuang, the Bai family's parents quickly smiled apologetically at the Qian family and then dragged their children away.
I plan to take the child with me to apologize later.
Happy Birthday
