Chapter 22 Chapter 22
◎Don't be afraid that I will eat you (Part 2)◎
Being a kindergarten teacher is actually a somewhat special job, because children are still at an age where they don’t quite understand things, so you need more patience and more care towards them.
There is nothing wrong in taking it as a job seriously, but taking it too seriously can lead to neglecting the real needs of children, and even to not treating them as children, but as bosses.
Deng Ye sighed.
After a morning of classes, the teachers from the two kindergartens went to the cafeteria to eat together.
Seeing this bright and clean cafeteria, the teachers of Monster Kindergarten finally understood what Principal Lian Jiu meant when he said that they should go out to see more, learn more, and meet those who know more.
There are always people beyond the monsters, and there are always heavens beyond the heavens.
Everyone needs to work harder!
The meals here are buffet style, unlike in the mountains where you have to share the food in bowls.
After hearing Deng Ye's words "eat as much as you want", the straightforward monster teachers did not hesitate to fill their plates and brought them back, which formed a sharp contrast with the humans.
After dinner, everyone didn’t rush to leave, but sat together to chat, take a break and continue their afternoon studies.
Ding Rui sat upright, wiping her hands and the table after dinner, her lips gently covering hers. "The conditions in the mountains must be very tough. It must be hard to persevere normally, right?"
The monsters didn't know what she meant, so they replied, "Not bad."
"Why don't you consider finding a job outside? You'll have food and entertainment, and you won't have to treat yourself badly." Ding Rui paused and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, you may not have a very high degree, but it's true. Children in the mountains also need education, which is good."
It sounded like a chat, but the words sounded uncomfortable. Deng Ye also heard that since morning, Ding Rui had been unwilling to learn from the teacher in the mountains. She had a condescending attitude. She even chose the more difficult bilingual course even though she knew it was a learning course.
But these are children in the middle class and they cannot learn so many words.
Deng Ye could tolerate it as long as nothing went wrong before, but now he felt that Ding Rui was going too far. Considering the dignity of the kindergarten, he only whispered a warning and scolded: "Ding Rui."
Ding Rui curled her lips and was very reluctant to stop talking.
We are all adults and can understand the meaning of some words. The scene was silent for a while.
Deng Ye stepped in to smooth things over: "We really admire you for bringing so much happiness to the children. That's why we want to learn from you."
Lian Jiu smiled and nodded.
Although the monsters were straightforward, they knew that the man just now had said nothing nice. But since Director Lian Jiu had brought everyone out, they didn't want to make things difficult for him, otherwise they would never have tolerated such anger.
The monster was originally an animal, and its wildness has always been there. It didn't take long for it to bite you.
At this moment, you can't bite or say anything. Everyone just sits there seriously and doesn't say anything. Forget it, even Director Jiu didn't say anything, so just bear with it for now.
But at this moment, Lian Jiu, who was still smiling, spoke again. She turned to look at the confident teacher and asked, "Does this teacher have a high degree?"
Deng Ye had a bad feeling, so he said conservatively, "Not bad."
But Ding Rui was unwilling to do so. Since they had asked her, there was no reason not to answer. She raised her eyebrows and said, "It's okay. Most people can't get into our kindergarten."
"Really?" Lian Jiu rested his chin on his hand and said softly, "Then the teachers at your school must be excellent in every way."
Ding Rui: "Of course."
Lian Jiu smiled and said, "Just like your level, right?"
Ding Rui: “Yes.”
Deng Ye thought to himself, "Oh no!" and hurriedly said, "Director Lian Jiu..."
But Lian Jiu raised his eyebrows and shook his head: "If everyone is at this level, then perhaps you won't be able to learn from us."
Ding Rui was shocked by her big talk and turned her head sharply: "What do you mean?"
"Literally." Lian Jiu's smile faded. "Some of the simplest things can't be learned simply by studying a lot and studying well, like how to be a good person."
Isn't this just a blatant insult?!
Both kindergarten teachers were shocked.
One was surprised that Lian Jiu was so disrespectful, and the other was surprised that Director Lian Jiu didn't take the relationship between the transsexual into consideration and directly retorted.
"But the first thing children need to learn is to be kind and friendly. If it's not taught in books and they don't know it themselves, then what else can they learn?" Lian Jiu said calmly, slowly questioning Ding Rui, who was so angry that her face was red and she could barely sit still. "What do you think, teacher?"
She's still calling people uneducated!
Ding Rui couldn't stand being bullied by a mountain person, so she immediately hit back: "What do you have to say about me? A kindergarten principal from the mountains earns less than a teacher like me."
"If you want to measure value with money," Lian Jiu smiled, "then you can only be a commodity."
Oh shit!
Where did this headmaster learn to talk? He's so good at talking!
Moreover, compared with the "highly educated" Ding Rui who was shaking with anger, and Lian Jiu who was sitting there calmly, it was obvious who looked more embarrassed.
Deng Ye felt like the kindergarten was being humiliated and immediately stopped Ding Rui, who was about to speak: "Teacher Ding, it's time for class. You should leave first."
The other teachers at Huahua Kindergarten also felt that a conflict shouldn't start at this time. One of them grabbed Ding Rui and said, "Let's go first and talk about it later."
Ding Rui was about to glare at Lian Jiu when the plate in front of her suddenly fell to the ground, and the soup inside instantly spilled all over her clothes and shoes. She was even more furious, but she couldn't stand the feeling of being dirty, so she gritted her teeth and left.
When he turned around, he suddenly tripped over the chair leg and fell on the spilled plate.
It’s so miserable.
The teachers at the Monster Kindergarten couldn't help but cover their eyes, fearing that they would laugh out loud.
Lian Jiu, who had witnessed a certain god threatening others, was very familiar with this kind of scene. She turned to look at Si Lan, who was sitting at the edge, but he had his eyes downcast and didn't even look at her.
Surprisingly, the plate in front of him was clean and he didn't eat anything.
This is not the style of this God.
It seems that he is really angry, but did he start to get angry before eating?
"This..." After Ding Rui left, Deng Ye felt really bad. "I'm sorry, Director Lian Jiu, you see what's going on. It's our fault for not hosting you well. Let's treat your teachers to a meal together after this."
"No need to eat." Lian Jiu pushed the plate in front of him, his refusal obvious. "We came here with the intention of exchanging ideas, but the teacher just now said that the level of your class is just like this, so..."
He didn't finish his words, but everyone understood.
Deng Ye immediately said, "That's not the case. That was Teacher Ding's personal behavior. I never had any other thoughts. I still hope we can make progress together!"
Then he said helplessly: "Our kindergarten is large, and I can't take care of so many teachers and children. I'm not very familiar with her, but I also found out today that she is not suitable for teaching children."
All the teachers at Huahua Kindergarten heard the subtext of Principal Deng, and knew that Teacher Ding Rui would not be able to stay.
Teachers working at Huahua Kindergarten come not just for the high salary, but also for the connections.
Because this is an aristocratic kindergarten, the children's parents are either rich or powerful. If you make friends with them, it will benefit everyone.
That's why Ding Rui is so arrogant and looks down on others.
This time I hit a wall.
Lian Jiu was finally satisfied with the result and stood up: "Let's go, what are your plans for the afternoon?"
At the end of the day, the monster teachers all boarded the Huama bus to go back. Except for the unhappy episode with Teacher Ding, the learning time was very harmonious and the monster teachers all learned a lot.
Sitting in the car, Teacher Fox was happy when he thought that the annoying person was going to be expelled: "I thought we had to endure it, but I didn't expect the principal to be so ruthless."
"Yeah, yeah, I was so excited that I almost changed into my original form. I thought I was going to suffer at the hands of humans."
Lian Jiu, who was sitting in the front, looked back in confusion: "Why do you feel like you're going to suffer a loss?"
"Because we're all here to adapt to humans," said the fox teacher. "If something goes wrong and we can't leave the mountain, that would be bad."
Lian Jiu remembered that he was locked up in the mountains and signed the contract because some monsters were causing trouble in the human world.
"But that doesn't mean you have to suffer a loss." Lian Jiu turned around and chatted with them from the car seat. "We all live the same life. Who is more noble than the other? As long as you are not wrong, then be firm and do what you should do."
The monster teachers nodded one after another: "I learned it, I learned it."
Teacher Fox said angrily, "If I had known earlier, I would have secretly bitten her. Why is she pretending to be a green tea?"
"You also know green tea?"
"I learned this from surfing a lot lately."
Teacher Fox sincerely pleaded with Lian Jiu: "Headmaster, if we are hiring, can we please not hire someone like this? Really, I don't have the heart to play tricks on her."
The other monsters thought the same. Who would want to play tricks on you? You can’t learn enough every day!
Lian Jiu: "Don't worry, I will conduct a strict inspection."
After returning to school, the monster teachers, exhausted from the day, went back to rest. Lian Jiu called out to Si Lan, who was about to disappear again, "Wait a moment."
Si Lan was leaning against the mud outside the school gate and turned around when he heard the sound.
He spoke very little the entire day and was like a transparent person the entire time. If it weren't for the fallen plate, Lian Jiu would have almost not noticed his presence.
I don’t know if his impression of human beings has become worse after experiencing all this.
Lian Jiu waved his hand: "Come here."
Si Lan didn't ask why. He slowly stood up and walked to the door of her dormitory. When he saw her holding two eggs in her hand, he raised his eyebrows.
"I'll make you some fried rice." Lian Jiu greeted him, "Please sit wherever you like."
The cafeteria was closed today, and they were all making meals in a big pot, so making fried rice with eggs seemed a bit of a waste. Lian Jiu just cooked a small meal in his own dormitory.
Si Lan was not polite at all. Since she called him in, he sat directly in the place where he had taken medicine before.
Lian Jiu turned around and saw him looking at his snack rack again, and said, "You can have a bag of potato chips today."
Si Lan laughed, searched carefully, found the largest bag, and ripped it open. "Why is Teacher Lian Jiu so sudden today?"
"Didn't you skip lunch?" Lian Jiu chatted with him while beating eggs. "That's not like you."
Si Lan scoffed: "I don't eat everything either."
Listening to the crisp clicking sound, Lian Jiu looked at him silently.
Si Lan didn't care at all and said with a smile: "Some people can't digest it no matter how little they eat."
He picked up a potato chip and put it in his mouth: "But I feel safe eating Teacher Lian Jiu's food."
Lian Jiu smiled and turned to make fried rice.
The big bowl of egg fried rice smelled so good that Lian Jiu couldn't help but put some in his own small bowl to eat together.
Finishing a large bag of potato chips didn't slow Si Lan down. The two of them sat at the table, and Lian Jiu asked, "Do you have a worse impression of humans after today?"
Si Lan swallowed the food in his mouth and thought it was funny: "Are you worried about this?"
"A little bit." Lian Jiu asked sincerely, "Aren't we looking for teachers?"
Si Lan: "What are you worried about? I never stopped you."
Lian Jiu said in a gloomy tone: "I'm afraid you'll be unhappy and eat me."
Si Lan knew about what Yu Chongming said about his past that day, but if he didn't want the bird to say those words, it wouldn't have the chance to say them.
He lowered his eyes and laughed sullenly: "Then why aren't you afraid that I will eat you?"
"I..." Lian Jiu was stunned by the question. It might be an illusion at first sight. She thought Si Lan was weak and a rabbit demon at that time, so she had no defense. So even though she later knew how powerful he was, she was not very scared.
Lian Jiu said confidently, "I probably didn't do anything to make you eat me."
"So, I wouldn't eat humans for no reason." Si Lan thought about it seriously, "It just doesn't taste good."
“…”
Lian Jiu silently moved his bowl a little further away from him.
Si Lan smiled even more happily, and his originally gloomy expression dissipated, and he became more lively. "I don't hate everyone indiscriminately. Didn't the Pixiu say that we were humans for a while? If I really hated it, I wouldn't do this."
Lian Jiu couldn't help but ask, "Is it the time when you were sloppy?"
Si Lan paused while eating, and said with a half-smile: "Are you really not afraid that I will eat you?"
"Just curious, just chatting." Lian Jiu smiled, "But you didn't use that red headband today."
"Um."
“Only wear it on important holidays?”
"If you want to wear it, you wear it. If you don't want to wear it, you don't wear it. There's no reason."
"I see." Lian Jiu nodded. "When I heard Pixiu say that the other day, I thought it was very important to you."
"It's okay." Si Lan fiddled with his chopsticks. "Someone gave it to me as a gift."
"Human?" Lian Jiu was surprised. "You even know humans."
"I don't know him, just a..." Si Lan smiled, "just a passerby who couldn't stand my slovenliness."
