Chapter 36 Punishment
Manbao's parents were called to school on his first day.
Even Qian, who was in poor health, came out of the room in a hurry and rushed to the school with the help of little Qian.
The Bai family is also very fast.
Mr. Bai had been called to the police station many times this year. He knew that his son had a bad record in school, and he also knew that he would definitely be the one who got beaten if there was a fight, so he was not in a hurry.
But when he heard that Bai Shanbao was also involved in the fight, he could no longer sit still. Bai Shanbao was different from his son. He was a treasure.
Mr. Bai did not dare to delay and immediately notified his aunt and brother's wife, so the Bai family also came in a grand manner.
The two families met at the school gate.
On one side are silks and satins, on the other side are patched cloths, but what is the same is the anxiety on their faces.
Judging from the number of people alone, the two sides are evenly matched.
But now neither side had any intention of looking at each other. Qian and another old lady who seemed to be of similar age walked quickly towards Mr. Zhuang's residence.
Little Qian supported Qian and they met the other party at the door. Although Qian was anxious, she still pulled her daughter-in-law to stop and let the other party go first.
The other party also paused, and seeing that Qian gave way, she did not hesitate, and helped her daughter-in-law through the gate and hurried inside.
In the yard, four children were standing in a row, and Mr. Zhuang was sitting on a chair angrily without saying a word.
The two families who rushed in saw their children standing upright and occasionally exchanging glances, so they knew that there was no big problem. Whether it was the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who arrived first or the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who arrived later, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they also ignored the children who were looking at them eagerly and went to Mr. Zhuang to apologize.
When children fight in school, they feel ashamed even if they don't know the reason.
Mr. Zhuang saw that they were polite, and his expression eased a little. Then he pointed at the four children and said, "These four children, let's not talk about the first two, the other three are my students. The fact that they fought outside the school is because I didn't teach them well enough. I asked your two families to come here today, firstly to let you go back and teach your children, and secondly to tell you that I will pay special attention to these three children from now on. Parents, you will also know the rewards and punishments."
Mr. Zhuang met Bai Shanbao when he went to the Bai family yesterday. At that time, Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also met Mr. Zhuang, and they decided to let Bai Shanbao go to school with them. So strictly speaking, Bai Shanbao is also Mr. Zhuang's student.
Liu took a look at the fair and tender girl next to her grandson and knew that she was Zhou Man, a disciple of Mr. Zhuang. Mr. Zhuang went to the Bai family yesterday just to discuss her admission to school.
Liu certainly didn't believe that her grandson would fight with such a soft little girl, so she glanced at Bai Erlang and Ertou, lowered her head and asked, "Mr. Zhuang, I wonder why the children are fighting?"
Mr. Zhuang was obviously already angry, but he couldn't help being angry again when he mentioned it again. He put the stone in his hand on the stone table and said calmly: "For this stone."
Everyone stared at the stone, not seeing anything different about it. Aren't there many such stones on the road?
Mr. Bai was the first to attack Bai Erlang. He slapped him on the head and said angrily, "I told you not to study hard and touch stones are you fighting with your cousin just for a stone?"
Bai Erlang covered his head and said, "I didn't fight him, I was helping him . I don't like such a stinky stone. There are many more beautiful things in my room!"
Mr. Bai looked at Ertou, and this was the one fighting with Shanbao.
Seeing that he was almost the same age as Shanbao, but the country boy was definitely stronger, he couldn't help but worry. He wondered if Shanbao was really hurt, otherwise his aunt would probably cry to death.
Liu was also a little worried, but with Mr. Zhuang here, she couldn't do anything. However, her daughter-in-law Zheng couldn't help it. She pulled Bai Shanbao over, felt him up and down, and asked, "Shanbao, where are you hurt?"
Manbao, who was standing nearby, made faces at him. Bai Shanbao, who was already in tears and wanted to cry out loud, immediately stopped crying and glared back fiercely. Relying on the support of his grandmother and mother, he even wanted to push Manbao away.
Xiao Qian quickly pulled Manbao over and held him in her arms.
So the adults from the two families faced each other.
Ertou, who was standing aside, was being stared at by Master Bai. He was terrified. He turned around and saw his father, then threw himself into his arms and cried, "Dad, Dad, I didn't hit him, he hit me!"
Bai Shanbao also turned his head to take a look, and imitated Manbao and made a face, "Defeated general!"
He turned around and complained to his mother, "Mom, it wasn't him who hit me, it was her!"
Everyone followed his finger and saw Manbao, and there was silence for a moment.
Mr. Zhuang added: "Bai Shan beat Er Tou, and Man Bao started fighting with Bai Shan. Er Tou wanted to help, so Bai Cheng started fighting with Er Tou. None of the four of them were left behind."
Mr. Zhuang said, "I think the child is just too energetic. Let's not talk about the second head. Take the child home and teach him a lesson. Bai Cheng, you have to write 20 characters tonight. Bai Shan, Man Bao, each of you has to write 10 characters. I will check it tomorrow."
Bai Cheng was unwilling to accept it, "Sir, why do I write more than them?"
"Because you are older than them, and they were fighting, not only did you not stop them, you also fanned the flames and participated in the fight. Do you think you should be punished?"
"It shouldn't be heavier than theirs."
Mr. Zhuang said calmly: "Twenty-five characters."
Mr. Bai glared at his son, and Bai Erlang could only shrink his neck and lower his head.
After knowing that it was Manbao who had fought with Bai Shanbao, Liu and Zheng felt embarrassed. They looked at Manbao, who was obviously shorter and thinner than Shanbao and was a girl, smiled embarrassedly, hugged Bai Shanbao, but did not mention whether he was injured or not.
Xiao Qian secretly touched Manbao, who seemed to feel itchy and giggled and hid for a while.
Qian and Little Qian, who were observing the situation carefully, both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The child didn't look like he was injured.
The parents of both sides accepted the punishment on behalf of their children, and the parents of the Bai family also took Bai Erlang and Bai Shanbao to apologize to Ertou and Manbao.
There was no way around it. Bai Erlang was older than Ertou, and Bai Shanbao was not only older than Manbao, but they were also boys versus girls. All the Bai family members felt that their own children were getting the upper hand.
And the reason for the fight was just a trivial matter like snatching a stone.
But let alone Bai Erlang, even Bai Shanbao was stubborn and refused to bow his head, and even snorted at Manbao twice.
Manbao was not to be outdone and glared at him as well. There was nothing they could do. Seeing that the two children did not seem to admit their mistakes, and in order not to tarnish their image in front of Mr. Zhuang, the Bai family's parents quickly smiled apologetically at the Qian family and then dragged their children away.
I planned to take the child with me to apologize later.
