"Tell the teacher the reason and see if the teacher can help you."
When Teacher Zhang saw that Guan Peng knew he was wrong, he felt a little comforted. It's good to know that you are wrong, and it's even better to recognize your mistakes. This is what students should be like. Dare to do and take responsibility for your actions. Even if you make mistakes, it doesn't matter. Everyone makes mistakes.
As long as you recognize your mistake and can correct it, it is not shameful.
Guan Peng then revealed the reason why he stole the charcoal. Of course, he was the one who stole the charcoal the first time, but he really had no other choice.
Their Class 1, Grade 2 is the same as Teacher Zhang's class. They all have heating installed and can enjoy the heating, but their class is different from other classes.
Liu Jing was well prepared when installing the heater, so she not only installed the heater early, but also stockpiled charcoal. Charcoal was still very cheap at that time, so she bought enough charcoal to burn for several months. So, let alone two months of snow outside, even if it snowed for four or five months and there was no charcoal to sell, the heating in the class would not be cut off.
But Xu Jiajia went there just to show off. She installed the heater, but she didn't consider things as carefully as Liu Liang. The heater was installed and it was warm, of course, but the charcoal became a problem.
Especially now that it has been snowing for more than half a month, the snow has never stopped. They are not a major coal-producing area, so coal is very difficult to buy.
Lin Xiaoyu asked the students to figure it out on their own. Each person brought a bag of charcoal from home. There were more than 40 people in the class, so there were more than 40 bags of charcoal to burn.
She doesn't care where you get the charcoal from. She just knows that she should ask the students to bring it. There's no reason to install the heating and then do nothing in the end, right?
This is really difficult for the students. Charcoal is already hard to buy, and now each person has to bring a bag.
The students in Class 1 of Grade 12 seem to have a good life on the surface. They have heating and hot water just like the students in Teacher Zhang's class, but they live a completely different life.
The students in Teacher Zhang's class just need to take care of themselves. Those who fetch water fetch water, and those who seal the stove do so. Everything is arranged, and no one feels that anyone has done more or less, or that it is unfair.
We are all in the same class and it is a big group that loves each other.
But it was different for Class 1, Grade 12. It was just a matter of installing a heater, but most of the students were unwilling to do so, thinking that it was such a hassle and they might as well just freeze.
As for asking Guan Peng why he stole the charcoal, he really had no idea.
It took him a lot of effort to make that bag of charcoal, but he had a neighbor named Zhao Ying, whose family conditions were very poor and he had a sick grandfather.
Zhao Ying's academic performance was very good. As soon as she arrived at high school, she was assigned to a top class. She originally thought that the top class only compared grades, but after arriving, they found out that they also compared food and clothing.
Zhao Ying has always been frugal and wears hand-me-down clothes, so she has no say in the class. Even if she is a good student, she is not liked by her class teacher.
This time, Lin Xiaoyu asked everyone to bring charcoal. Zhao Ying really couldn't get any, so she went to find Lin Xiaoyu, but was scolded by Lin Xiaoyu and came back crying.
All the money in the family was used for grandpa's medical treatment. It was so cold and they didn't have any charcoal to burn. If they had any charcoal, they would give it to the old man. Adults could bear such a cold day, but how could an old man who was bedridden bear it?
Everyone handed in the charcoal, but in the end, Zhao Ying was the only one missing. Both the teacher and the students kept talking about Zhao Ying, making it difficult for her to even teach properly.
Guan Peng saw this and felt sad. He and several classmates thought of a way to see if they could help Zhao Ying.
As it turned out, they were all poor students and even though they had spent their own money on food, they still couldn't buy any charcoal.
Guan Peng finally had no other choice but to borrow some from the students in Teacher Zhang's class.
But he didn't dare to speak, because he didn't know anyone.
The squad leader was cleaning up the stove at the time, and the half bag of charcoal was left there without being taken away.
He felt dizzy at the time and didn't know why he did that. Of course, it was because he was afraid. He didn't take much, just a small bag.
He gave the charcoal to Zhao Ying and asked her to hand it in. Zhao Ying never knew where the charcoal came from. She handed the charcoal in and thought the matter was over.
But who would have thought that everyone in the class said that everyone had handed in a bag, but Zhao Ying only handed in half a bag, and was still short of half a bag.
They forced Zhao Ying to take half a bag of charcoal.
There was really no charcoal to buy outside. Ever since he stole the charcoal from someone else's class, Guan Peng had always felt guilty, so he kept looking for charcoal so that he could return it to the owner. However, he had been looking for several days but couldn't find any.
He once again thought of stealing charcoal because Zhao Ying had not come to school for several days and he heard that she had tried to find a way to steal the charcoal.
Guan Peng secretly followed and saw that Zhao Ying was actually picking up the charcoal that others had burned and didn't want anymore. He wanted to pick out some from it and hand it over later.
Guan Peng himself had no ability, so he could only come and steal again. He only stole half a bag, and when he saved enough money, he would find a way to return it to the owner. However, Zhao Ying could not go on like this. The exam was about to start, and every day at this time was very important to them. If they missed one day, they might not be able to keep up with the subsequent courses. Once they fell behind, it would be enough to affect their future studies.
But he didn't expect that he would be caught red-handed by the squad leader.
He thought he was finished, but he didn't expect that they didn't blame him at all and didn't think of telling this matter to anyone.
"Why don't you go find a teacher?"
Teacher Zhang sighed. If he knew, the worst that could happen is that their class would just burn less, and that would still free up some charcoal.
Also, how can Lin Xiaoyu be a teacher? Doesn’t she understand Feng’s situation?
Not every student is rich and powerful like Xu Jiajia. Some students come from poor families, and there are such students in every class.
Charcoal is a small matter, but it can ruin a student.
"I'll have my students bring you half a bag of charcoal later. First, help Zhao Ying make up for the money she owes so she can come back to class."
"As for the rest, I'll think of a way."
Teacher Zhang looked at the heavy snow still falling outside the window. Why was it still snowing? If the weather didn't clear up soon, someone might die.
As expected, Teacher Zhang asked the students in the class to give Guan Peng half a bag of charcoal, which made Guan Peng, a big boy, cry and wipe away tears from time to time.
