After eating in the funeral home cafeteria, He Ruixue stayed with him for another afternoon and went home only when it was getting dark.
Walking deep into the alley, she saw a small figure sitting on the doorstep of her house in the afterglow of the setting sun.
She got closer to see who it was.
"Xiaoyou, why did you come to see me alone and not even come into the house?"
He Xiaoyou has never had any emotional intelligence. He said bluntly, "Aunt, I don't have the key to your house."
How to get in?
He Ruixue tapped his head gently, opened the door and let him in, "Have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
Sitting at the table, He Xiaoyou drank the malted milk his aunt had made him. The sweetness in his mouth couldn't mask the sadness that lingered in his heart. "Aunt, can you come to my school tomorrow? The teacher wants to see my parents about something."
"Where are your parents? Are they both busy?"
"I don't want them to know."
Oh, something is happening.
She handed him another apple and said, "Tell me what you can't tell your parents. Did you not do well on the test or did you get into a fight again?"
"Really not, aunt, my mom told me to take you as my role model and make sure I get into high school so I can make a lot of money in the future. I've been studying really hard this semester and I ranked fifth in the class on the last exam."
Thinking of the original owner's last-place grades, He Ruixue coughed twice and felt that she was not worthy of being called a role model.
"So why did the teacher ask your parents to come over?"
In this era, there is no rule that prohibits corporal punishment of students. Some parents will even take the initiative to give teachers a blackboard stick and a ruler, saying that if the children are disobedient, they can just beat them.
What's even more outrageous is that some people would ask someone to carve words on the ruler: "Five strokes for each time you skip a lesson - Parent So-and-so", which has a terrifying deterrent effect on children.
Moreover, with so many children, parents are used to letting them take care of them, only providing food and accommodation, and leaving everything else to the school. If students are disobedient, it is because the teachers have not taught them well. Teachers are also afraid of being accused of incompetence, so they generally do not make a fuss to the point of calling parents.
He Xiaoyou took a bite of his apple and said aggrievedly, "Someone said I stole his pen. It was quite expensive, costing more than ten yuan...Aunt, I really didn't steal it. I was clearly outside for physical education class and came back to use the bathroom. I don't know how the pen was found in my pencil case."
