C21 Sir I Don't Care about You
The next morning, after I heard the loudspeaker calling all the teachers for a meeting, I set up the questions for the first class and went to the big office. The principal still has some conscience. He didn't have a meeting on Sunday afternoon. Otherwise, my days would be even more bitter.
This school really didn't have any profit at all. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival a while ago. Every teacher distributed a box of old mooncakes, the kind with red silk and green silk inside. It would be better to send me a hardcore mooncake with only skin. I hate eating this kind of mooncakes the most.
Meeting is really the most boring activity. I'll sit in the first row. I have to find something for myself to do when I pick up the lesson plans and write them down. I'm still considered good. There are still teachers who change their papers and homework. It's such a high stack of homework, yet they still have the nerve to move it here.
In any case, when the principal speaks on stage, one ear will enter and the other ear will come out. If there is anything that really happens, everyone will tell each other.
After the meeting, I was just about to go out to eat with Zhang Li when Teacher Xu came over.
"Hey, why did Teacher Xu come over? What a rare guest. "Yingying wants to go out."
"En, let's go out and have some food. Is something the matter, Teacher Xu?" I seem to have guessed what he wanted to say to me.
"There's no hurry. Why don't I come back when you are free?" However, he did not have any intention of leaving. I looked at Wang Lili.
At this moment, Wang Lili understood what was going on. "I'm going out to eat. Teacher Xu, you two can chat. I'll be leaving first."
I hurriedly said behind her, "Bring me some food."
Teacher Xu said in embarrassment, "Yingying, you saw that you and Wang Lili went to my place two days ago. I just happened to go out. When I came back, my mother told me. I'm really sorry. Old people are a bit astute, so don't mind."
"It's fine. You don't have to be so polite." Last Friday, my mother gave me a warning. Is she here to apologize to me?
"I'm not being polite. I brought the money to you today."
I took it and looked at it. 200?
"Thank you so much. I'll look for the change later..."
Teacher Xu stopped me and said, "It's fine. There's no need to look. Your class has a lot of people. Hurry up and get busy. I'll be leaving first. "
"Alright, thank you, Teacher Xu. You even specially made a trip. I'm a little embarrassed."
"What's so special about that? I often don't go to school. Sometimes I can't even touch it. It's convenient for me to come here and look for you. Oh right, I just came in for a batch of papers. When are you and Wang Lili free to go and check the quality? " He said as he walked out.
"Okay. When we are free, we will go and take a look. Sorry to trouble you."
"You can go back into the house and get busy. I'm leaving."
Wang Lili came back and handed the rice to me. "Did you give the money to me?"
I happily bit the fried dough sticks and said, "Yes, Teacher Xu is really too polite. I'm so embarrassed."
"If he didn't come, would you really go?" Wang Lili cast a sidelong glance at me and said.
"Of course I wouldn't go, but I am still very happy that he gave me money."
"How much did he give you? Don't tell me he only gave you 190 when he came all the way here."
It seemed that his EQ wasn't high, so his IQ was still enough.
"He gave me 200. I don't believe he has the nerve to give me the change."
Wang Lili said, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have taken it. He gave me so much face. I reckon that you are definitely unprecedented."
"Then who else do you think that old lady would dare to do such a thing with other than me? Although you are also new here, your house is here. Your father has been an old teacher for many years. No matter what, she has to give your father some face. As for me, I am alone. What does she have to worry about? But don't bully me with all your might." Why do I feel so pitiful as I speak? It even reminds me of Little White.
" Alright, alright. Don't take advantage of me and pretend to be good. Didn't Teacher Xu give you face? If I had known earlier, I would have exchanged with you. I have the same amount of face, and there are even more than mine. What's more, you're just an old lady with half a leg in the ground. Why are you competing with her? Hurry up and eat. You're going to be on shift soon. " Wang Lili said unhurriedly while eating deep-fried dough sticks.
You are right. I am an adult and do not care about petty people. I should hurry up and work after I have eaten my fill.
