small town story

Chapter 8 Dumb

The second day after drinking at Mangzi's place, Su Youqin found out that she was allergic.The two scars covered by the concealer were itchy, and the tender flesh on the scars had small red spots.

She was so scared that she rushed to the hospital.

There is no one who specializes in skin treatment in the town hospital. The old doctor looked at the red spots and said it was an allergy, and prescribed a pack of allergy medicine for her to take first. If it didn't work, she had to go to the city hospital for treatment.

Su Youqin felt cold.

She doesn't care about the scars on her face, but she also has a heart for beauty. Concealer works well. Occasionally, if you cover it up, you will get a complete face and feel happier. Now these two scars are allergic to concealer. used.

She looked at the bottles and jars on the dressing table, put her bangs down, and sighed.After taking two pills of allergy medicine, the itching gradually disappeared, and the red spots disappeared after two days.

One week before the National Day, Su Youqin received a text message from an unfamiliar number on his cell phone. The text message reminded that the school would hold a garden party the afternoon before the National Day holiday, inviting residents and parents of the town to attend.

It can be seen that this is a group text message sent by the school teacher using his mobile phone. I don't know if the school will reimburse the teachers for the text message.

The teachers at the school are very caring.

It may be because the daily contact is with children.After all, everyone says that children can inspire the softest part of the heart.

Su Youqin picks up her uncle's grandson, Xiaojin, at 11:30 noon every day.Every time she went to the door of the classroom, Xiao Jin sat on the small bench and waited quietly.

The teacher at the door saw Su Youqin and shouted to the classroom: "Wu Yujin, my sister is here to pick you up."

Xiao Jin immediately stood up, walked to the door of the classroom with a small schoolbag on her back, waved to the teacher to say goodbye to the teacher, and left holding Su Youqin's hand.

Su Youqin likes picking up children very much.

Xiaojin is only three years old, but she seldom cries.Uncle said that this child is a bit introverted, and he doesn't know who he looks like.

Su Youqin thought that Xiao Jin was very nice, he was not shy, and would take the initiative to talk about what the teacher taught today during lunch.He is just over three years old, but his pronunciation is a little unclear, and he understands everything he can understand.

Su Youqin wanted to communicate with him, so he could only type and let the voice play.He watched Su Youqin type curiously, imitated her two fingers to press the keys on the tablet, and learned to speak following the voice playback, which made her laugh out loud.

Staying with Xiao Jin, Su Youqin was very relaxed.This kind of relaxation is different from the relaxation with friends. Friends are jealous of her and will find all kinds of words to encourage and comfort her intentionally or unintentionally.Xiao Jin didn't understand this, and the child's unconscious actions and remarks showed that in his heart, Su Youqin was just an adult who couldn't speak.

This morning, dark clouds gathered in the sky. Su Youqin and Sister Cui had just cleaned up the shop and were about to close when it rained.

It hasn't rained for more than half a month, but this time, the raindrops are heavy and urgent.Sister Cui let out an ouch and said that her clothes were still hanging outside the balcony, when she saw Chen Jianhua parked on the side of the road on a motorcycle.The canopy was opened on the motorcycle, and the rain still splashed onto Chen Jianhua.

Sister Cui didn't take the umbrella that Su Youqin handed over, and ran to the side of the motorcycle, complaining and then happily asked: "Why are you here?"

"It's going to rain, I'll pick you up." Chen Jianhua responded, smiled at Su Youqin through the rain curtain, started the motorcycle and left.

Su Youqin turned around and walked upstairs, met Daling's gaze, Daling smiled at her with an inexplicable meaning, walked up to her, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Cui and that man, is that the relationship?"

Su Youqin frowned.She knew what the other party wanted to say, but this was his private matter, so what did it have to do with outsiders?She shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

Da Ling laughed playfully, gave Su Youqin a look that I understood, and continued to lower her voice: "Sister Cui is so lucky, this man treats her well."

Su Youqin rolled her eyes inwardly.Fortunately, she couldn't speak, so she didn't have to respond to Daling's gossip. She smiled, pointed upstairs, and went upstairs directly.

People in the town are like this, they can make up a TV in their minds whenever they see a scene.

The relationship between Sister Cui and Chen Jianhua is somewhat ambiguous, but it's too bad to make wild guesses and communicate with outsiders without verification.

Because of Daling's behavior in the morning, Su Youqin went to pick up Xiaojin at noon, and when she saw her, she lowered her umbrella and pretended not to see her.

Parents who came to pick up their children on rainy days had a big umbrella in their hands. When they went upstairs, the umbrella was closed, and the stairs were full of water.

Su Youqin arrives 5 minutes late every time, just at the time when the most people are the most crowded, there are few adults at the door, and the teacher calls the children one by one, which is not so noisy.

She originally thought that Xiao Jin would still be sitting on the seat and waiting for her today.Unexpectedly, Xiaojin and the teacher were standing at the edge of the podium, a woman about 50 years old, leading a fat little boy, was arguing with the teacher, staring at Xiaojin while reasoning.

Standing by the door, the little teacher who had just graduated from Kindergarten High School saw Su Youqin, pulled her aside, and said worriedly, "Wu Yujin scratched the kid today, and the parents were very angry when they saw the red mark on the kid's neck."

Su Youqin nodded.Quickly type on the phone: "Why did he scratch the kid."

The little teacher was too young, only seventeen or eighteen years old, and couldn't hide her thoughts. She looked at Su Youqin, her eyes flickered, her lips moved slightly, and finally said a few words: "Not sure."

Su Youqin understood, she typed and asked, "Is it related to me?"

The little teacher sighed and nodded.

Su Youqin bypassed the little teacher and walked into the classroom.

Xiao Jin lowered her head slightly. When the teacher saw Su Youqin, he smiled in embarrassment: "Come to pick up Xiaojin." The woman who had just been arguing with the teacher turned her head, and when she saw Su Youqin's young appearance, she frowned and preemptively said: "You are the parent of this child?!"

Su Youqin nodded.

"Your child scratched my grandson's neck. Look, there is such a red mark." The woman pulled the little boy to her side, and pushed the child's head to one side with great force, revealing a red line. mark.

It does scratch a bit.Su Youqin walked up to the teacher and touched Xiaojin's head first.

Seeing her calm behavior, the woman became angry: "Your parents didn't teach you such a red mark. How can you fight and harass someone at such a young age? No tutor!"

She went too far, and the teacher quickly comforted her: "Grandma Shen Xuan, don't be angry. Children, it's normal to fight. This is also our negligence in work. We didn't see the children playing. Don't be angry. There is ointment in the kindergarten, and we have wiped it off for Shen Xuan."

"What's the use of rubbing medicine now? It's such a long strip, won't it hurt for a while?" The woman's voice was not low, and there were several children sitting in the classroom, all looking at her timidly.

At this time, Su Youqin hated herself so much that she couldn't speak. She picked up her mobile phone and typed, and directly pressed the voice to play: "Auntie, don't be angry, let me ask Xiaojin why she hit the child." The mechanical pronunciation paused every word, and the woman was surprised looked at her, but didn't respond.

Su Youqin squatted down to look at Xiaojin, touched his head, and clicked on the voice playback: "Xiaojin, why are you scratching the kid?" The mechanical voice did not express Su Youqin's original intention of asking gently, it sounded cold, and Su Youqin frowned slightly. wrinkle.

Xiao Jin buried her head and said nothing, Su Youqin gave him a hug, and the mechanical voice asked again.Xiao Jin cried out, her pronunciation was unclear, and her tone was very aggrieved: "Da... woo woo woo, Da said, woo woo, sister... is dumb woo woo, is going woo woo woo... is going Eight yuan woo woo woo woo. My sister is not... woo woo woo”

He threw himself into Su Youqin's arms, whimpering, "Sister, it's not...not sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" is not not."

Xiao Jin cried sadly, and Su Youqin almost couldn't hold back her tears.There was a fog in front of my eyes.She hugged the child, patted him on the back with one hand, and waited for a while until the fog disappeared before standing up with Xiaojin in her arms.

She looked at the little boy who was half hiding behind the woman. The little boy's eyes rolled slightly, feeling a little nervous.

Su Youqin met the woman's gaze, Xiao Jin's crying did not soften the woman's heart, she still looked at Su Youqin with hostility.

Su Youqin put her arm around Xiaojin, typed with both hands and handed it to the teacher.The teacher looked at her hesitantly, and Su Youqin nodded.

The teacher took a deep breath, smiled at the woman, and said in a soft voice: "Grandma Shen Xuan, sister Wu Yujin said that it was Wu Yujin's fault for scratching people. She apologizes to you and kid Shen Xuan. If kid Shen Xuan feels uncomfortable , please take Shen Xuan to the hospital with her for an examination, and she will pay for medical expenses and mental damage."

After the teacher finished speaking, without waiting for the woman to respond, he squatted down and said softly to the little boy, "Shen Xuan, you and Wu Yujin are friends, right? It's his fault that he scratched you. Just now, before grandma came, he I have already apologized to you. But your words hurt Wu Yujin, seeing how sad he is crying, you have to apologize to him too."

Hearing what the teacher said, the woman shouted dissatisfiedly: "What, I..." But was interrupted by the little boy, who took a step forward, walked up to Su Youqin, looked at her timidly, Su Youqin smiled, hugged Xiaojin Kneeling down, he patted Xiaojin's head, Xiaojin turned his head slightly, and the little boy whispered, "I'm sorry, Wu Yujin."

Xiao Jin was still sobbing, she grabbed Su Youqin's shoulder with her little hand, and whispered that it was okay.

The woman was startled by this scene, and watched the teacher and Su Youqin stand up at the same time, move their mouths, without saying anything, pulled the little boy out, and when they got to the door, they yelled: "I'm dumb, I don't want to let people said……"

"Who is dumb?"

Su Youqin looked up and saw Daling standing by the door holding her daughter Xinxin, glaring at the woman: "Why can't you speak so much? What are you yelling about?"

The woman was shouted inexplicably, caught fire, and louder: "It's none of your business, did I tell you?"

Several children in the classroom huddled together and looked at the door.

Su Youqin hugged Xiao Jin, stepped forward with the teacher, pushed the woman out of the door, and the teacher closed the door behind her back.

Holding an umbrella in one hand, Daling pulled Xinxin behind her with the other, tilted her head slightly, and said loudly, "Where did you come from, a country aunt who didn't have a mother to teach you to tell others that they are dumb. Before you open your mouth, ask yourself if you are suitable for a long mouth."

"Who are you scolding? Who are you scolding for being uneducated? Am I wrong? Isn't she dumb? There is still a red scar on her face, who knows..."

Daling pushed Xinxin into the arms of the little teacher, stepped forward and pressed against the woman's chest, like a chicken mother with fried hair: "Damn it, say it again, besides, I will find someone to beat you. Do you have the face to call someone dumb? You Boss Su has none of the [-] generations of ancestors who are capable, and even the smoke from the ancestral grave can't raise a cub who can be admitted to Boss Su's university. He said that other people have scars on their faces, and they don't look at their old skin. You don’t even want beggars on the road. How dare you say such things in front of children, look at your grandson, do you have the face to teach him?!..."

Da Ling's voice was not low, and she cursed people one after another without profanity. The woman opened her mouth to curse back at first, but every sentence was blocked by Da Ling.

Su Youqin was in a hurry and couldn't speak the whole time, so she had to keep pulling Daling aside.Da Ling waved at her, signaling her to stand a little further away.

The teachers and parents of the surrounding classes came to persuade him, and the principal also came to persuade him. In the end, the little boy burst into tears, and the woman had no choice but to be coaxed and persuaded to take the little boy away.

Wait until most of the people have dispersed.Su Youqin, Daling, the teacher and the little teacher looked at each other, and in the end Su Youqin couldn't help but laughed first.

Daling laughed.Both the teacher and the junior teacher had breakfast at Su Youqin's breakfast restaurant, and they were all acquaintances, so they smiled helplessly.

The two teachers went to appease the remaining students in the classroom.Su Youqin and Daling walked back together.Daling first helped Su Youqin open the umbrella and handed it to her, then led Xinxin to open the umbrella and followed.

She said to Su Youqin not too far away: "Don't be as knowledgeable as these aunts. They come from the village and have no quality. Just treat their words as farting."

Su Youqin nodded with a smile.

Just now Daling stood up for her, she was really moved.Thinking that she felt that Daling was gossip because of Sister Cui, she felt a sense of guilt in her heart.

After taking Xiaojin home, he wiped his face and changed his clothes, then carried him to the table, and went to bring over the cooked meals that had been kept warm in the pot. The little boy's eyes kept falling on Su Youqin.

Su Youqin handed him the spoon, and put his favorite steamed eggs and minced rice meat in front of him, looked at him tenderly, a mechanical female voice came from the tablet: "Xiaojin, eat quickly, you can watch an episode of animation after eating Piece, sleep again."

Seeing Su Youqin's non-blaming look, and hearing that she can watch cartoons later, Xiao Jin's tense body relaxed, picked up her mobile phone, scooped a spoonful of steamed eggs into her mouth, took a few bites, and opened her mouth in a low voice. Mouth: "Shen Xuan, give me some bread."

Su Youqin was taken aback.After realizing it, he was saying that the little boy who was scratched by him shared some snacks with him.

Su Youqin typed with a smile: "Morning?"

Xiao Jin nodded slightly, with a slightly unhappy expression.

Su Youqin only thinks she is cute, and she doesn't care much about children.She got up and went to the snack cabinet to take out two bottles of Wahaha, stuffed them into Xiaojin's schoolbag, and asked the mechanical female voice in the tablet to say instead of her: "Xiaojin will bring Wahaha in the afternoon, and share it with little friend Shen Xuan."

Xiao Jin looked at Su Youqin with wide eyes, "Well, thank you sister."

At this moment, Su Youqin wanted to cry again. She looked at the child who was digging steamed eggs with a spoon in her backhand. Small green cabbage leaves.

When I sent Xiaojin to school in the afternoon, the rain stopped.Su Youqin watched Xiao Jin enter the classroom, walked straight to the little boy named Shen Xuan, took out a bottle of Wahaha from his schoolbag, and handed it to him.

The children next to him showed envious eyes.

Su Youqin and the two teachers on the podium smiled at each other.

In the evening, when Su Youqin and Sister Cui were preparing breakfast for the next day, someone came in through the shutter door that was only half-high.

Shen Qianyao was wearing a short sports suit and black-rimmed glasses, looking like a college student.Sister Cui greeted her in surprise: "Teacher Shen?"

Shen Qianyao smiled and called Sister Cui, and looked at Su Youqin.

Knowing that she was looking for the boss, Sister Cui urged Su Youqin to go out.

Su Youqin wiped her hands, took the mobile phone that was put aside and walked to the rolling shutter door, opened the rolling shutter door, pulled two benches from the nearest table, and signaled Shen Qianyao to sit down.

Shen Qianyao smiled, moved her eyes left and right, and asked her: "Did you receive the text message from the garden party?"

Su Youqin nodded.After the communication stopped for a few seconds, Su Youqin opened Shen Qianyao's dialog box, typed and sent it to her: "What's the matter, is there anything I can help with?"

"No, no, no, I just stopped by to ask. Today... By the way, the children in our class are selling handmade flowers this time. It's very beautiful. You must come."

Su Youqin caught the word today and Shen Qianyao's hesitation. She pretended not to notice and nodded: "I don't know what grade Teacher Shen teaches?"

Shen Qianyao slapped his right hand with his left hand, and said with a smile, "I never mentioned it. This year, I mainly teach the third grade, two classes of mathematics, and two classes of science in the fifth grade."

Su Youqin was a little surprised: "Take so many classes?"

Shen Qianyao smiled and sat down: "I didn't expect so many. The fifth grade science class went to the experimental classroom together. There were only two classes a week, and there was no homework. The third grade math is the focus."

Su Youqin also sat down and typed: "Are you the head teacher?"

Shen Qianyao nodded: "The head teacher of the third class of the third grade. There are not many naughty children in our class, so it's easier to manage."

Su Youqin has heard complaints from friends who were teachers in primary schools, and knows that it is not easy to be a primary school teacher, especially the head teacher, who often breaks down after get off work and complains everywhere.

Su Youqin typed with a smile: "That's because you managed well, many of my friends who are teachers complain every day."

"It's mainly because the students in the town are easier to manage."

"Students in the town are not like the students in the village. Their parents don't care about anything. They just tell the teacher that you can beat me up for anything. They don't like the students in the city. Interest classes and cram schools, parents have a lot of things to do, and any trivial matter has to be shouted in the class group."

Shen Qianyao waved her hands and explained: "I'm not complaining about the parents of these students. They are also tired at work, but no matter how tired they are, they can't just throw their children to the teacher. When I just graduated and went to school in the city, my parents said I cried."

Su Youqin looked at her in surprise, she didn't expect that Shen Qianyao, who is so positive and sunny, would be called into tears by her parents.

"Hey, there was a student in the class who didn't do his homework. I asked him to stand outside the classroom for a class. After the student went home and said it, his parents came to the school directly and said that I was corporal punishment on the student. Let him Standing outside the classroom will make the students in the class isolate their children, which is leading the class bullying. Several charges, each of which can get me out of school directly."

Su Youqin was stunned. Are there such unreasonable students and parents?

"Later our director came and heard what the class representative said that the child hadn't handed in his homework several times, then checked the child's exercise book and adjusted the class monitoring, which proved that I didn't punish him physically, but just punished him for not doing his homework. matter. The child’s parents just stopped.”

Su Youqin digested for a while, and typed slowly: "It's not easy for your teacher."

"Yes, I used to have a colleague who was sexually harassed and joked by a sixth grader. The colleague got angry and beat the child. The child rolled on the ground and started beating. Finally, his parents came and took a bite of my family. How can the child not say that kind of thing honestly, he is still a child or something. In the end, my colleague resigned directly and took the civil service exam. Before she resigned, we had dinner together. She said that she had lived for more than [-] years and was the first to sexually harass her. He turned out to be a brat, he couldn't be beaten, scolded, or controlled, and he felt aggrieved."

Shen Qianyao paused, then sighed, "You never know what kind of students and parents you will meet in the position of teacher. Especially parents."

Su Youqin looked at Shen Qianyao, thought for a while, and asked, "Did you hear something?"

Shen Qianyao's reminder was too obvious, and she knew she couldn't hide it, so she said in a soft voice: "There will be a teacher's meeting in the afternoon, and I will sit with some teachers from the school's kindergarten, and they will have a chat."

She anxiously explained: "Although I don't think you care about what others say, but seeing the children standing out for you must still make you feel a little uncomfortable. I want to come and have a look, chat or something."

Knowing that she was kind, Su Youqin moved slightly in his heart: "Well, I know. Thank you."

"Everyone looked at me with the same eyes and helped me. I was very touched."

Shen Qianyao smiled: "What is there to look at? You are self-sufficient, and you have opened such a delicious breakfast restaurant. Everyone should thank you for helping to solve the breakfast problem."

Both of them laughed.It happened that Shi Mi passed by from the opposite side, and Shen Qianyao called her. Shi Mi rubbed her shoulders and looked over. After a few cars passed by, she crossed the road and asked with a smile, "What are you doing here?"

"Let's chat for a while." Shen Qianyao raised her head slightly: "Did you go to Mi Hao's place again?" She turned around and explained to Su Youqin: "Mi Hao is the owner of the milk tea shop next to the farmer's market, have you seen it?"

Su Youqin shook her head, she passed by the milk tea shop many times, but never went in.

"His milk tea is okay." Shen Qianyao's words were tinged with ridicule: "Ms. Shi often goes there to help. Next time you go, you can ask Mr. Shi to give you more ingredients."

Shi Mi was a little shy, she lowered her voice and called Shen Qianyao in a rough voice.

Shen Qianyao laughed so hard that Shi Mi pounced on her and covered her mouth.The two stood in front of the door, and there were neighbors passing by, looking at them with a smile.

Enough laughing, Shen Qianyao pulled Shi Mi's hand, pushed the bench back under the table, and winked at Su Youqin: "Next time I will treat you to milk tea and take care of Teacher Shi's business."

Shi Mi: "Shen Qianyao!"

"Hey, don't shout, just listen." Shen Qianyao smiled and pushed Shi Mi away, and she waved at Su Youqin: "I'm leaving first, bye, see you tomorrow."

Su Youqin smiled and nodded, silently saying goodbye.

Shi Mi also greeted her, and followed Shen Qianyao, and the two walked towards the old teacher's dormitory.

Wait, the old teachers' dormitory?

Su Youqin was puzzled, she never cared about it or asked, did they not live in the new dormitory building, but in the old teacher's dormitory?

The old teachers’ dormitory is said to be a dormitory, but it is actually a unit building allocated by the school for teachers many years ago. It is divided into one set and one set is divided out. Now most of the old teachers who live in it are retired but have not moved out.

Only two or three sets were empty.

The last time a shirtless man hit his wife's teacher, Su Youqin knew that those vacant houses would now be allocated to the teacher with his family.The young teachers live in the two new buildings next to the school gate.

Why did Shen Qianyao and Shi Mi live in the old teacher's dormitory?

Su Youqin remembered the shirtless man that day.
