Chapter 115: Posting on the Bulletin Board
Yang Suzhen spoke earnestly and with dignity as she gave Zhong Cuiping a severe scolding.
Ten minutes later, when Zhong Cuiping came out of the room again, her face was completely bloodless and pale, looking dazed and distraught.
She has always had a little woman's mindset, thinking that matters between women and children are family matters, nothing more than trivial matters. Quarrels among neighbors are common things, so how could they affect men? Aren't men all in the army? It depends on their personal performance.
Even though Tian Weijun got into trouble last time and Captain Tian dragged his children to Fu Sinian's house and performed a "beating of the child" scene, Zhong Cuiping still didn't learn her lesson and thought the matter was not serious.
It was not until this conversation with Yang Suzhen that Zhong Cuiping became completely panicked.
At this moment, not only Zhong Cuiping seemed to be acting strangely, but Tian Weijun and Lei Xiaobing in the yard were also acting strangely.
Lei Xiaobing stood in the middle of the yard with his hands on his hips, showing off the big red flower on his chest given by Jiang Tang. As for the taller and stronger Tian Weijun, he huddled in the corner, trembling and not daring to come out, not even daring to look at Lei Xiaobing, as if he was really scared of being beaten.
Yang Suzhen called out to Lei Xiaobing, "Xiaobing."
Lei Xiaobing opened his mouth and said, "I didn't hit him. He chose to hide in the corner on his own. It has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, he stuck out his tongue at Yang Suzhen.
Yang Suzhen shook her head helplessly and gave Zhong Cuiping a final warning, "Cuiping, I've explained everything I need to say clearly to you. If you still can't figure it out, and you make the same mistake again next time, it won't be as simple as criticism and education. You might even end up on the bulletin board."
Putting it on the propaganda column is like putting up a big-character poster!
Zhong Cuiping fully realized the seriousness of the matter and nodded repeatedly to apologize, "Director Yang, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong! I will definitely repent! I'm sorry!"
Yang Suzhen reminded her, "If you really know you're wrong, you shouldn't say sorry to me, but to Xiao Jiang."
Zhong Cuiping opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but no sound came out.
She had deliberately targeted Jiang Tang twice and the quarrel had been so fierce. Now, how could Zhong Cuiping bring herself to apologize to Jiang Tang?
But if he didn't apologize, Yang Suzhen would be in trouble.
Zhong Cuiping looked conflicted. She pulled Tian Weijun out from the corner and took the child back.
Along the way, Zhong Cuiping vented her anger on the child that she couldn't vent with Yang Suzhen.
She pulled Tian Weijun over and scolded him, "...I asked you to go to school to learn knowledge, not to fight! Fighting is fine, but you also picked on the wrong people! Can you beat Lei Xiaobing? Can you really beat him? Go back tonight and let your father teach you a lesson!"
Tian Weijun has always been spoiled by Zhong Cuiping since he was a child. When has he ever suffered such an injustice?
He was already in pain and discomfort, and suddenly he burst into tears.
"...I didn't intend to go there. Someone gave me an apple...I happened to meet him while I was eating an apple...Lei Xiaobing wasn't there at the time..."
"What apple? Where did you get the apple? Who gave you the apple?" Zhong Cuiping was confused and didn't know what Tian Weijun was talking about.
Tian Weijun sobbed and couldn't speak clearly, "...a teacher...just one teacher...I was eating an apple in the corner..."
As soon as Zhong Cuiping and Tian Weijun left, Lei Xiaobing immediately looked at Yang Suzhen with his head held high.
"Mom, are you really not going to spank me today? My dad won't spank me either? I got into a fight today, are you sure you're not going to teach me a lesson?"
Yang Suzhen looked at Lei Xiaobing's bright eyes, and her heavy emotions disappeared.
She smiled and said, "Yes... I won't hit you. Now you can rest assured."
"Yeah! Before I came back, Aunt Jiang said she had a way to prevent you from spanking me. I didn't expect it to be true! Aunt Jiang is so awesome! This big red flower is really useful!" Lei Xiaobing happily touched the big red flower on his chest.
Yang Suzhen asked, "Did Sister Jiang really say that?"
"Yes, Aunt Jiang told me! She said that not only would I not be beaten, but I could also eat big chicken legs at night." Lei Xiaobing scratched his head, "I don't even know where the chicken legs are. If there really were chicken legs to eat, I would eat two!"
Yang Suzhen grabbed Lei Xiaobing's collar and carried the child, who was planning to play marbles in the yard, directly into the house.
Lei Xiaobing screamed, "Mom...Mom! What are you doing? Didn't you agree not to hit me?"
During the movement, the white gauze wrapped around Lei Xiaobing's head fell off.
Yang Suzhen carried Lei Xiaobing into the house, wanting to check his injuries and apply medicine again. After all, he was her own child, and as a mother, it was still painful to see her child injured.
She looked carefully at Lei Xiaobing's head and suddenly found out——
"Lei Xiaobing, there's no wound on your head, why are you wrapping it with gauze?"
"This..." Lei Xiaobing said seriously, holding the white gauze, "This was also Aunt Jiang's idea. She said this is called playing the victim. Aunt Jiang said that you have to be fierce during a fight, but you have to be weak after the fight. A real man should be able to bend and stretch!"
Yang Suzhen was slightly stunned. It was Jiang Tang again...
It seems that the two children were not seriously injured and it was all intentional; the big red flower and the gong were also intentional.
Jiang Tang has quite a few clever tricks.
He is an interesting person who can be so flexible without violating principles.
…
On the other side, Chaochao and Yueyue were on their way home with Jiang Tang.
Yueyue asked anxiously, "Mom, does little soldier brother really not need to be spanked?"
Jiang Tang replied, "Don't worry, not only won't he be spanked, Xiaobing's mother will even praise him. He was brave and did a good thing. You are all good friends, so you should get along well with each other in the future, okay?"
"I understand." Yueyue answered loudly.
Jiang Tang turned to look at Chao Chao, who was also nodding vigorously. "He protects Yue Yue, he's a good man, and I'm his friend."
She patted the heads of the two children respectively and said, "Chao Chao, Yue Yue, you have been wronged today. Mommy will make stewed chicken legs for you tonight!"
After returning home, Jiang Tang immediately started preparing dinner, especially stewing chicken legs with great care. He took out the ingredients from the Lingbao space, added a spice bag with a full range of seasonings, and added soy sauce, rock sugar, and dark soy sauce for color and seasoning.
People in the 1970s would not have been willing to use such complex ingredients.
Half an hour later, the chicken legs were rolling in the shiny soup, each one dyed with soy sauce color, and were quite soft and tasty.
The aroma wafted out from the small kitchen. Not only the neighbors on both sides, but the whole compound could smell the aroma of Jiang Tang's stewed chicken legs. Some children had already started crying and wanted to eat meat too!
After the stewed chicken legs were finished, Jiang Tang filled a large yellow enamel basin with it and poured sticky sauce on it, which made it look delicious and fragrant.
It was too hot to use the enamel basin directly, so Jiang Tang prepared a bamboo basket.
First put the enamel basin in the bamboo basket, and then give the bamboo basket to Chaochao.
Jiang Tang closed the lid of the enamel basin and warned, "It's a bit heavy, so walk slowly when you carry it. Do you remember where Lei Xiaobing's house is?"
"Mom, I remember. Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task."
Just like that, Chaochao went out with the bamboo basket. Not long after, Lei Xiaobing received his extra meal for tonight. He really ate the delicious chicken legs, not just one, but a whole bowl!
Lei Xiaobing's inner thoughts: There really are chicken legs to eat! Aunt Jiang is the best!
…
The next day.
Just like the day before, Lei Xiaobing appeared at Jiang Tang's door early in the morning.
This time, the person who opened the door was no longer Jiang Tang, but Chao Chao. Chao Chao took the initiative to open the door and welcomed the jumping Lei Xiaobing in.
"Good morning, Lei Xiaobing."
"Chao Chao, good morning!"
Lei Xiaobing went to sleep last night holding the big red flower that Jiang Tang gave him. Because he liked it so much, he didn't even carry his schoolbag today, but instead carried the big red flower on his back.
"Xiaobing, you're here. It's just right for you to have breakfast with us." Jiang Tang was preparing breakfast in the house. Hearing the noise, he called out to Lei Xiaobing.
Before Lei Xiaobing even entered the house, he shouted, "Aunt Jiang, good morning! The chicken legs you stewed last night were so delicious! I ate three in one go! My parents' cooking isn't as good as yours."
When Chaochao and Yueyue heard Lei Xiaobing praising Jiang Tang, they seemed happier than Jiang Tang, even happier than when he was praising themselves.
Yueyue said, "My mom's cooking is the best! The best in the world!"
"Yeah, Yueyue is right."
Lei Xiaobing nodded repeatedly, completely agreeing with what Yueyue said.
This time, Jiang Tang didn't need to remind him specifically. Lei Xiaobing had already washed his hands before going in to eat, and he even knew to use soap.
He handed his hands full of foam to Yueyue and said, "Yueyue, look, I used soap and washed it very clean."
"Wash it clean so you don't get sick when you eat." Yueyue nodded, blinked her eyes and looked at Lei Xiaobing's face, and asked, "Brother Xiaobing, does your wound still hurt?"
The red and swollen wounds yesterday turned into bruises after a sleep, and were all over the face and body.
Lei Xiaobing shook his head and said nonchalantly, "It doesn't hurt anymore, not at all. My dad said that men bleed, not cry, and wounds are a man's medal, so I don't feel pain."
Yueyue listened to Lei Xiaobing's words, not quite understanding them, but she let out a long sigh.
She smiled sweetly, "I'm glad that little soldier brother isn't hurt. I hope that little soldier brother will never get hurt in the future and stay safe like your brother."
Lei Xiaobing was washing his hands one second ago, and the next he was stunned.
because……
"Yueyue, you are so beautiful when you smile!"
Lei Xiaobing is a straightforward person and says whatever he thinks.
Chaochao suddenly looked up, and his little heart became alert to something. He had finally come to believe that Lei Xiaobing was a good person, but now his mood became complicated again.
Because of Lei Xiaobing's presence, breakfast time is still as lively as before.
Jiang Tang, like before, went from taking two kids to school to taking three kids to school. He felt relieved only after seeing them enter the classroom.
Teacher Xia Xiaolan walked over to Jiang Tang and said, "Comrade Jiang, I've reported yesterday's incident. The school takes it very seriously and will investigate thoroughly and give you and the children an explanation. The leadership has also made regulations for us teachers. From now on, even if the children are free to move around, there will be teachers on site to supervise them. This kind of thing will never happen again. Please rest assured."
Jiang Tang nodded, "Teacher Xia, I'll trouble you to take good care of me in the future."
"Of course, of course." Seeing that Jiang Tang wasn't being aggressive, Xia Xiaolan felt that he was understanding, so she asked with special concern, "How are Chaochao and Yueyue feeling? Are they not frightened by this incident? I'll pay more attention to them in the next few days. If anything happens, I'll tell Comrade Jiang in time."
"Okay, thank you Teacher Xia for your concern. My kids are very brave and haven't suffered any psychological trauma." Jiang Tang asked, "Teacher Xia, this place is quite far from the school building. Do you know why Tian Weijun appeared nearby? Or have you heard anyone mention it?"
"I don't have that. I'll make a note of it and make sure to find out more."
"Thank you, Teacher Xia."
Jiang Tang always suspected that Tian Weijun's appearance was not normal, and yesterday's fight might not be just a simple quarrel between children.
It’s a pity that no clues can be found.
After leaving the Yuhong class, I returned to the compound.
Jiang Tang had just returned when he was grabbed by Zhao Xiumei and Wang Chunlan who suddenly appeared.
Zhao Xiumei looked nervous and said hurriedly, "Xiao Jiang, don't go home yet. I want to tell you, I wanted to go to your house to look for you just now, but I didn't see you. Instead, I saw Zhong Cuiping first. She was right at your door."
Wang Chunlan nodded repeatedly, "I saw it too, right in front of your house. I think she's trying to block you!"
"Her child bullied your child yesterday, and now she wants to bully you too!" Zhao Xiumei said angrily, "Little Jiang, if you don't want to get into a fight with her, go to my house and sit for a while until she leaves. If you want to go back, we'll go with you!"
Wang Chunlan nodded again, "Yes! The three of us are not afraid of her being alone!"
"Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Wang, thank you for your concern for me, but I don't think Zhong Cuiping dares to trouble me again." Jiang Tang had a different opinion in his mind.
Yang Suzhen criticized and educated her yesterday. As long as Zhong Cuiping is not stupid and wants to continue living in the compound, she will not make trouble again.
Zhao Xiumei asked hesitantly, "So... what are you planning to do..."
"When water comes, we block it with earth; when soldiers come, we fight them with soldiers. That's my home. I can't stay home just because she's outside my door." Jiang Tang smiled. "Besides, I'm not that easy to bully. We'll know what Zhong Cuiping means by going over and taking a look."
After saying that, Jiang Tang took the lead and walked out.
Zhao Xiumei and Wang Chunlan followed behind, looked at each other, and said with gossipy eyes, "Little Jiang sister, wait a minute, we—"
They followed immediately.
A few minutes later.
When Jiang Tang arrived at the door of his house, he saw Zhong Cuiping's sad face from afar, and knew that she was not there to cause trouble, but to do something that made her very embarrassed.
Zhong Cuiping waited for so long and finally waited for Jiang Tang.
However, when she saw him, her eyes trembled and her mouth opened and closed several times. She had thought about what to say all night last night, but when she saw Jiang Tang, she just couldn't say it out loud.
Jiang Tang said calmly, "If you have nothing to say, please move aside. I'm going in."
