Spring Thunder Chapter 0129: Ceremony First
Nan Yi's eyes scanned the classroom and a boy in the fifth row caught his attention.
Her hair is a little long, but not too long; her cheekbones are very flat, almost invisible; her eyebrows are narrow, and connected to her forehead; she has a pair of beautiful fox eyes; her nose is ridged and pointed; her lips are very thin, like two petals of white fungus stained with blood, which can let light through.
At first glance, this face is very handsome and especially attractive to girls.
But from the perspective of physiognomy, there are four words clearly engraved on this face - heartless and ungrateful.
If this person is just good at doing things, then Xian Hailan will be disappointed.
"Uncle Yaorong, have you been to school?"
"Yes, I come here every Wednesday at noon to bring food to Hailan."
"Do you know the teacher who is teaching now?"
"I know her. She's Hailan's homeroom teacher. Her name is Huang...I think it should be Huang Shuying."
"You've never met her privately?"
"No, they eat commercial grain. I'm just a peasant and I can't speak, so I won't embarrass Hailan."
In the 1980s and 1990s, parents generally did not go to see teachers, and there were basically no parent-teacher meetings in rural schools.
If the teacher calls the parents, the student must have caused some serious trouble at school.
Students who were beaten by their teachers at school did not dare to tell their parents when they got home. Hey, whoever dared to tell would be beaten again.
In the 1980s and 1990s, it was common for teachers to physically punish students in schools.
Slapping, hitting the palms with a triangle ruler, squatting, and squatting in the dry toilet during nap time as punishment, facing the pit, which was so boring that you could count how many maggots there were in the pit.
"I'll talk to Mr. Huang later, but you have to tell me first, what is your rule? If someone agrees to marry Hailan, will you keep quiet?"
"I won't let Hailan marry him. She's 17 or 18 years old, she should be sensible. She's still in school, and if he gets Hailan pregnant, I don't believe that it will be beneficial. I don't know what the consequences will be.
With a man like this, will Hailan have a good life following him? "
If Li Yuxing said that he didn't know what Xian Hailan would face when she was pregnant, Nan Yi would not believe it.
In this era, people mature earlier. Seventeen or eighteen years old are already strong laborers. The pillars of the family, except for those who are spoiled by their parents, are already adults.
You should have a clear mind about what you should do and what you should not do.
Nan Yi could understand that he ate the forbidden fruit on impulse; but if he eloped with Xian Hailan who was three months pregnant, Nan Yi could still praise him as a man.
But now this beneficial line is obviously doing nothing. What, if the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move either?
Time passed by minute by minute, and the iron bar for the end of get out of class was struck.
Huang Shuying packed up her lecture notes and books, walked down the podium, and walked straight towards Nan Yi and the others.
“Are you parents of students?”
Huang Shuying speaks standard Mandarin. Judging from her age of around 40, she probably moved south with her parents.
Because at that time, there were few teachers in the south who could speak fluent Mandarin. Most of them spoke in a sandwich style, mainly in dialect. They would only use Mandarin when the dialect was difficult to express or when reciting a text.
If you meet someone who speaks standard Mandarin, just guess that he is from the north and you will basically not be wrong.
"Hello, Mr. Huang, I'm Nan Yi, he's Xian Yaorong, Xian Hailan's father. We want to talk to Mr. Huang about something. Can we find a quiet place?"
"Okay, follow me."
Huang Shuying walked in front, leading Nan Yi and the other person out of the teaching building, going further and further away, and finally came to the edge of a small hill.
There are green trees and vines here, and the visibility distance is very short.
"Let's go here. Few people come here at this time." Huang Shuying made an eight with her left hand and said while supporting her glasses frame.
"Teacher Huang, first of all, thank you for your cultivation of Xian Hailan. This basket of eggs is a little gift from Uncle Yaorong. You must accept it." Nan Yi took the eggs from Xian Yaorong and stuffed them into Huang Shuying's hand.
Huang Shuying declined, "This is not good. How can I take your things?"
"You must take it. This basket of eggs not only represents our gratitude, but also our guilt. Next, what I am going to say is something that you will definitely not like, Mr. Huang."
"Okay, I'll take the eggs. Please tell me if you have anything to say." Huang Shuying did not refuse. She took the basket and put it on the ground.
It was difficult for her to refuse. For a rural person, eggs were the highest gift she could offer at that time. She had to exchange eggs for oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, needles and thread.
For a farmer, all the delicacy of life is concentrated in each egg.
"Xian Hailan is pregnant and has been pregnant for three months."
"What? What did you say?" Huang Shuying grabbed Nan Yi's wrist, her face dark, her eyes full of fire, "What's going on? Tell me what's going on. Hailan is my best student, how come she's pregnant?"
"Teacher Huang, it may be that you don't pay attention to the thoughts of your students. We have already asked Hailan, and she is dating Li Yuxing, who is also in your class."
"How could it be? They are very close, but one is first in the grade and the other is second. How could it be, how could it be..."
Although, a good student usually does not remember the kindness of his teacher, and the probability of coming back to visit the teacher in the future is not very high, let alone expecting a return.
But as a teacher, Huang Shuying still hopes that her students' grades are as good as possible.
Xian Hailan and Li Yuxing were both her proudest students. She thought that by September next year, both of them should be able to go to the capital, but now... the person she was most proud of slapped her twice.
"Teacher Huang, I've talked to Hailan. She wants to have a baby, even at the cost of giving up her studies. Although she's not young anymore, I'm sure she doesn't understand what love, family, and responsibility are.
Wenchangwei Village has been built for more than 300 years, but has never produced a scholar, let alone a top scholar. The Xian family has produced soldiers, salt bandits, and those who fought against the Japanese and the American imperialists, but has never produced a scholar.
Xian Hailan was the first person in Wenchangwei in 300 years to become the top scholar, and she was also a female top scholar. But now it is ruined, and it seems that they are about to eat commercial grain. It is ruined, everything is ruined. "
When Nan Yi spoke, he was very excited and saliva was flying everywhere. His emotions were a mixture of real and fake.
"Teacher Huang, this is what happened. We are here today just to say hello to you. We will come again tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. I hope we can meet Li Yuxing and his parents tomorrow.
Of course, Teacher Huang, you don’t have to worry, we don’t mean to blame you.
Originally, we could seek help from experts, but that would not be a discussion of solutions, but a mobilization to hold the culprit accountable. Although we are peasants, we still understand the word of etiquette.
I am sorry for bothering you today. Please forgive me, Mr. Huang. Goodbye, and see you tomorrow."
Nan Yi clasped his fists towards Huang Shuying and bowed slightly to her.
Finally, he confirmed with Huang Shuying that the student he disliked the most was Li Yuxing.
