Chapter 67 home visit
During dinner, Lin Wei told Zong Shao what happened in the morning reading class.
The more Zong Shao listened, the more his brows furrowed. Because the matter was a foregone conclusion, he did not ask how to deal with Gao Xiulian, but only asked, “Does Zhao Feng know about this?”
“I don’t know.” Lin Wei shook her head, “I’m going to visit his house later.”
Zong Shao was surprised: “Home visit?”
After Ms. Chen was hospitalized with a fracture, the second class teacher was temporarily replaced by the math teacher, that is, the first class teacher, Ms. Li. Therefore, Lin Wei’s current job is only teaching Chinese classes in the first and second classes, and the home visit is not under her control.
Lin Wei nodded and said, “Well, when Gao Xiulian went to school to sue me, I always go to their house to sue me.”
“Do you want me to go with you?” Zong Shao asked.
Lin Wei thought about it for a while and shook her head and said, “Forget it, it’s a matter for our students and parents, so don’t get involved.”
Zong Shao said, “Then you have something to call me.”
Lin Wei smiled: “It’s right next door, what can I do?”
After dinner, Zong Shao washed the dishes, the two children went to look for the small stone again, and Lin Wei went back to the house to tidy up the clothes, took the bag and the notebook and went to the next door. .
Gao Xiulian was not at home. She recently worked the night shift and didn’t get off work until eight o’clock. The Zhao Xuebing brothers were not there either.
Zhao Mei sits at the door and does her homework. She is more self-disciplined than her elder brother and younger brother in her studies. The first thing she does when she gets home every day is to do her homework. Her hard work was not unrewarded. In the final exam of the first grade, she took the fifth grade in the whole grade.
It’s just that a lot of things happened today, and she’s not in the mood to do her homework. The homework book has been open for half an hour, and she hasn’t even written two lines.
I was in a daze when a voice came from outside: “Xiaomei.”
Zhao Mei looked up to see who was coming, and quickly got up and shouted, “Mr. Lin!”
“Is your father at home?” Lin Wei asked.
“Yes, I told him that you are coming to visit.” Zhao Mei took a stool from the room and said, “Teacher, sit down, I will call my father.”
Lin Wei thanked her and sat down on the stool she moved.
Zhao Mei ran all the way through the living room and called to the backyard, “Dad, Teacher Lin is here to visit.”
The soldier who was chatting with Zhao Fengzhan wondered, “Who is Teacher Lin?”
Zhao Feng said, “Just Zong Shao’s daughter-in-law, doesn’t his daughter-in-law go to primary school to be a teacher?”
Of course, the other party knew about it, and they lived before and after. What happened to whose house was all about the content of the couple’s night talk.
“I can’t answer this question. Anyway, she is the child’s teacher, so I can cooperate with her whatever she wants.” Zhao Feng said, waving his hand, and followed his daughter into the house through the back door.
Although he was a neighbor, he looked up and saw him every day, but Zhao Feng and Lin Wei really didn’t know each other very well. When he saw people, he only called out “Mr. Lin” in a strange way, and asked her if she would drink tea.
“I just came over after drinking water.” Lin Wei waved her hand and asked where to talk.
Zhao Feng is very talkative: “It depends on where you want to talk, I can do it.”
Lin Wei looked around and said, “Let’s talk in the yard then.”
Zhao Feng responded and moved a stool from the house to sit in the yard. Lin Wei also moved the stool out, thinking that the next words might not be suitable for children, so she gently asked Zhao Mei to come into the house to do her homework.
Zhao Mei is a little hesitant. At the age of seven or eight, she is not too big to say that she is too young, and she already understands a lot of things. She knew that what the teacher wanted to talk about with her father was related to her, so she wanted to listen to it by the side.
It’s just that Zhao Feng repeatedly said yes after hearing Lin Wei’s words, and then moved the stool that helped Zhao Mei to do her homework in person.
Zhao Mei had no choice but to go into the house to do her homework.
When Zhao Feng returned to the yard, Lin Wei said, “Have you heard from classmate Zhao Mei about the purpose of my visit?”
“No,” Zhao Feng shook his head and asked, “Did something happen to Xiaomei at school?”
“Something did happen to her, but not just at school, but at home.”
Zhao Feng frowned: “What you said… I don’t quite understand.”
“It’s like this. This morning, your wife, Comrade Gao Xiulian, found our principal and reported that I used my teacher status to target student Zhao Mei and injured her…”
Zhao Feng is very aware of the grievances between his wife and Lin Wei, saying that the grievances between them are not right. To be more precise, it should be Gao Xiulian unilaterally targeting Lin Wei. He was once a headache for this.
It wasn’t until Gao Xiulian entered the state-run restaurant that he was short of food and was transferred from the window to the back kitchen, and he had new troubles. However, after Gao Xiulian was transferred to the back kitchen, it stopped, and he only had a few days to celebrate his birthday.
Who would have thought that the state-run hotel didn’t live in peace for a few days, and Lin Wei’s side caught fire again… As soon as Lin Wei raised Xiulian’s name, Zhao Feng felt a headache: “Teacher Lin, don’t worry, I will talk to her well when she comes back. , let her apologize to you.”
Lin Wei said: “At school, she already apologized to me.”
Zhao Feng was stunned at first when he heard the words, then his brows furrowed even more, and he asked with a serious expression, “Can I ask, why did she report you for hitting Xiaomei?”
“Because on Saturday night, she found that Xiaomei had a wound on her hand…”
“What? Wasn’t that injury…” Zhao Feng didn’t finish his sentence, but he reacted, “She told Principal Feng that you hit the injury?”
Lin Wei said, “It seems that deputy head Zhao knows how Xiaomei’s hand injury came from.”
Zhao Feng sighed, but didn’t answer. He only asked, “Can I ask what she said in front of Principal Feng?”
Lin Wei nodded, and told Zhao Feng what she had said to many people today.
The more Zhao Feng listened, the tighter his eyebrows became. When he heard that Gao Xiulian put all the blame on his seven-year-old daughter in order to prevent Feng Ying from reporting, his face could already be described as gloomy.
After Lin Wei finished speaking, Zhao Feng didn’t speak for a long time, he was afraid that he couldn’t control his emotions.
After a long silence, Zhao Feng took a long breath and said, “I remember everything you said. When Gao Xiulian returns, I will talk to her about it.”
“Deputy Head Zhao, in fact, I came to you, not just to complain.” Lin Wei bluntly stated her first purpose.
After listening to Lin Wei talking for so long, Zhao Feng certainly knew that she came to the house, called a home visit, but in fact it was to complain. But he wasn’t angry in his heart, because Gao Xiulian had done too much, and Lin Wei didn’t make a big deal out of it, she was considered kind.
Therefore, hearing her say this, Zhao Feng said, “If you have anything to say, just say it.”
Lin Wei continued: “I came to you partly because of Xiaomei. Because of the morning incident, Comrade Gao complained to her very much, and he refused to give her even lunch at noon.”
Hearing this, Zhao Feng almost didn’t hold back the fire in his heart, but he was still rational, clenching his fists and holding back, but his voice was extremely low: “How do you know that she didn’t give Xiaomei a meal at noon?”
“When I came back at noon, I met Xiaomei crying while walking home. After I asked her, she told me that I took her to eat at Sister Deng’s house at noon. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Xiaomei or comrade Chen Bamei. Lin Wei said, and looked at Zhao Mei in the room, “It stands to reason that this is your family matter, I shouldn’t interrupt, but Zhao Mei is my student, and Gao Xiulian treats her like this because she helps her.” So I came here to ask you to take care of this child more in the future, she is of pure nature and should not be treated so harshly.”
Zhao Feng was also looking into the room, and he thought of many details of the dinner.
Ordinary families are either strict fathers and loving mothers, or loving fathers and strict mothers, but their families are different. Gao Xiulian prefers sons to daughters, so she will dote on her son infinitely, and she will be stricter with her daughter.
As for Zhao Feng, he said that he doesn’t value sons over daughters at all. His consciousness is really not that high, but he doesn’t like Gao Xiulian’s son. On the contrary, because he has two sons and only one daughter, he is more gentle to daughters.
Don’t think that children are innocent. In fact, in some ways, they are very refined and usually get closer to people who are better to them.
Just like the Zhao family, Zhao Mei prefers Zhao Feng, while the two boys prefer Gao Xiulian.
Therefore, when Zhao Feng returned home, Zhao Mei would happily greet him. Chatting and talking a lot. But when the girl saw him today, not only did she not greet him immediately, but her eyes were still a little apprehensive.
When he took the lunch box and greeted the three children to eat, she hesitated, and didn’t follow until he urged her.
It’s just that although he thought the girl was weird at the time, he didn’t think much about it. It wasn’t until he heard Lin Wei mention it at this time that he knew how much grievance she had suffered today.
Zhao Feng suppressed his emotions and said, “Mr. Lin, I understand what you said. Don’t worry, with me, my daughter will not be wronged.”
Lin Wei got up and said, “Since you said that, then I’m relieved, I’m here today for these things…”
“I’ll take you off.” Zhao Feng followed and stood up.
“No need, it’s next door, it’s not that particular, you can sit down.” Lin Wei said and walked outside, returning to her yard after a few steps.
Zhao Feng stood in the yard for a while, and finally reached out and patted his face. After adjusting his emotions, he turned around and entered the room.
Because of Gao Xiulian’s attitude at noon, Zhao Mei was actually a little scared when she saw her father at home in the evening. She didn’t know what her father’s attitude would be.
Later, seeing that her father treated her the same as usual, not only did not scold her, but also bought her food, she felt relieved, and had the courage to talk to him about the home visit.
But she still didn’t dare to bring things up in the morning and noon. She was afraid that her father treated her so well because she didn’t know those things. If Dad knew, he would become like Mom.
Because of this, before Lin Wei came, she had been very uneasy, no, when Lin Wei and Zhao Feng were chatting outside, her heart was still uneasy, so during this period of time, don’t say two lines, she didn’t even have a complete word. Not written.
When she was just stopped by her father, she shook a little, then sat up straight and lowered her head, not daring to look at her father’s expression.
Looking at his daughter’s cautious appearance, Zhao Feng’s eyes were a little sour. He tilted his head slightly, raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, pressing down the astringency before he sat next to his daughter and asked, “Are you doing your homework?”
“Writing.” After Zhao Mei replied, she covered the workbook with her hand, “I only wrote a little bit.”
Zhao Feng reached out and touched his daughter’s hair and said, “Then you are also very good.”
Zhao Mei put her hands on the stool, turned her head and raised her face to look at Zhao Feng: “Does Dad think I’m good?”
“Of course, your teacher complimented you just now, saying that you are obedient and sensible, friendly to classmates, and a good boy.” Zhao Feng’s eyes became sour as he looked at his daughter’s gradually reddened eyes, and he stroked her daughter’s hair more gently, “Especially. It was today that you bravely spoke the truth, and it was great.”
Hearing this, Zhao Mei couldn’t bear it any longer, she jumped into Zhao Feng’s arms and burst into tears: “Mom said… Mom told me to lie, and she also said that if I didn’t obey, she wouldn’t let me go to school in the future… But, but Teacher Lin is a good teacher, if I follow my mother’s instructions and lie to others, then Teacher Lin will not be able to be the old shígG Dujia teacher in the future…”
Zhao Feng hugged his daughter, patted her on the back and said, “You are right, you made the right choice.”
“But my mother said I was disobedient… She also said that I was a bad boy, so, so she wanted to punish me and not let me eat…” The little girl was out of breath from crying, and raised her head from Zhao Feng’s arms, tears in her eyes. Ask, “Dad, am I really right? If…if I’m right, Mommy why is she like that?”
Zhao Feng wiped away the tears that covered her face with his hands, and said with certainty, “You are right, Dad is proud of you.”
