Volume 1, Chapter 124: It has a certain effect on autumn dryness
A classmate gave Zhao Xiaohu a sympathetic look and said, "You are in trouble now because of your excessive talk. You will definitely be punished."
"What are you afraid of? If the sky falls, the tall people will hold it up. At worst, we will all be punished together."
When Zhao Xiaohu said this, he glanced at Li Si who was sitting in the back row and made an inviting gesture to him, "Let's go, Prime Minister Li."
Li Si has the same name as a historical figure, so some students in the class who like to be lively jokingly called him "Left Prime Minister".
In the corridor outside the classroom.
Zhao Xiaohu and Li Si walked side by side, the left one was shorter than the right one, one was fat and the other was thin, they were particularly conspicuous.
There were many pairs of curious eyes looking at them, all secretly guessing who would be criticized and who would be punished to write a self-criticism.
As soon as Song Xi sat down in the office, two students followed him and stood beside the table, waiting for the ideological and political awareness class to begin.
"Student Li Si, do you think Zhao Xiaohu owes you an apology?"
“That’s not necessary.”
At this moment, even Zhao Xiaohu was surprised and even more puzzled. This man was too calm. Could he be an inhuman?
So, Zhao Xiaohu asked: "Why is it not necessary?"
"Everyone has their own opinions, there is nothing to argue about. If you want to be an eagle in the sky, no one will care about you. Similarly, I want to be a carefree chicken, and no one can do anything to me."
Zhao Xiaohu frowned upon hearing this. "Don't forget that chickens have their own troubles. There are braised chicken, spicy chicken, salt-baked chicken, pepper chicken, braised chicken, white-cut chicken, big plate chicken, three-cup chicken, clay pot chicken, curry chicken, crispy chicken, marinated chicken, mouth-watering chicken, scallion chicken, beggar's chicken... and many more that I can't even name."
"Please tell me the names of the dishes, Zhao Xiaohu."
The boy grinned at Song Xi, "I'm giving an example to the left prime minister... no... I'm giving an example to Li Si. Cooking chickens on the ground also has a high risk of being slaughtered and served on the table."
Li Si calmly replied: "Then I will be a pet chicken."
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaohu wanted to argue even more.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you have to fight with chickens, right? Even if you're a pet chicken, you still have to learn to please your owner. Even the Naughty Cat Mansion pays attention to KPI assessment, let alone you, a pet chicken."
Li Si still had no expression on his face. "But I am a pet chicken who only pleases the people I like. Those who treat me as a tool chicken and use KPI to measure me will just give them a mess."
"You Pet chicken, don't be so quick to talk nonsense, or your owner will pluck all your feathers and turn you into a hairless chicken."
"The hairless chicken is a frog, an amphibian, anuran, family Ranidae, genus Rana. Chickens belong to the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Galliformes, family Phasianidae. If you can't even tell the difference, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at others?"
Zhao Xiaohu was so angry that he couldn't say a word. His face turned red. "You...you are possessed by the academic bully, right?"
"I don't dare to call myself a top student. I just read a few more books. You just don't know what I know."
Zhao Xiaohu was stuck when he heard this, and looked at Song Xi for help, "Teacher...he, he..."
"You should go back first, reflect on yourself, write a diary about today, and hand it in to my desk tomorrow morning."
Zhao Xiaohu lowered his head, said "oh", and left the office.
Song Xi looked at Li Si, who looked calm in front of him, and said gently: "Why do you think it's a good thing to have no dreams?"
“Without dreams, there will be no worries about shattered dreams.”
Every day is like opening a blind box, with surprises everywhere. What a free and unrestrained life this is.
For the first time in his life, Song Xi was unable to answer a student's question.
After a pause, she said, "If you want to be like a chicken, you won't be able to appreciate the magnificent scenery in the sky. Are you willing to do that?"
"Teacher, I do."
Then, Li Si changed the subject, "But you didn't say it completely. Being an eagle also has its own troubles. It can't escape the pursuit of golden eagles and peregrine falcons in the air, and there are jaguars, mountain lions, and pythons on land that are eyeing it covetously, so it may not live as happily as a chicken."
"You have such a wide range of knowledge, why do you always get zero marks on essays?"
"Teacher, my hands can't keep up with my brain, and I don't have enough time, so I can only...hand in a blank paper."
After hearing this, Song Xi laughed. "That's not urgent. Go back home and write slowly tonight. Use the title 'Eagle and Chicken' and write an essay of no less than 400 words. Not a single word less will do. Give it to me tomorrow morning."
"Got it, teacher. I'll go back to class then."
Song Xi nodded and watched the student leave.
A colleague nearby joked, "Teacher Song, your class is full of talented people."
Song Xi smiled and said, "They all have their own strengths. There must be many shining little stars hidden in your class, right?"
"Who said it wasn't? On the first day of school, my classmates gave me a surprise. They are a bunch of naughty kids with active minds."
“…”
Soon it was time to go home from school.
Song Xi carried the bag to the principal's office. Zhang Qing was on the phone. When he saw her come in, he agreed on a time with the other party in a few words and then hung up.
"Principal Zhang, I am not disturbing you, am I?"
"No, come and sit down."
Song Xi put the bag on the desk and said, "Principal Zhang, this is the autumn pear paste I made myself. You can take it home and drink it with water. It has a certain effect on autumn dryness."
"Xiao Xi, girls like you are all delicate and cute. It must be very hard to do all this, right?"
"I'm like a panda. I look cute, but I can break bamboo with my bare hands without much effort."
"Today's giant pandas are all PEP models. When they break bamboo, they have to turn their heads to the side for fear that it will hit their faces. Add to that their funny movements of baring their teeth, and it's really hilarious."
Song Xi had seen this video online, so he naturally understood what Principal Zhang meant.
"Xiao Xi, I heard that you took a leave in the morning. What did you do?"
"I went to the hospital for a physical check-up and found that I had mild anemia, nothing serious."
"Does your mother know about this?"
Song Xi shook his head, "It's not serious, I don't plan to tell her."
Zhang Qing pondered for a few seconds and said, "Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you, but you have to follow the doctor's advice and try to make up for it as soon as possible."
Only when he saw Song Xi nodded in agreement did Zhang Qing feel relieved.
"By the way, Xiaoxi, among the people of your age, are there any who are looking for a partner?"
"I'm not sure about that. We don't usually interact with each other."
Zhang Qing was always straightforward and could not keep secrets, and Song Xi was not an outsider. So, he told her about the principal's son.
It turned out that the reason why Zhang Qing asked Song Xi if she knew any single girls was because the principal asked her to do this.
The principal's son just came back from abroad, graduated from a prestigious university, and now works as a technical director for a high-tech listed company. His future is bright.
Song Xi didn't take it to heart. She usually didn't worry too much about other people's affairs, especially those that had nothing to do with her.
Just then, a steady sound of footsteps was heard outside.
The office door was pushed open from the outside, and a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked in.
