Cai Xiaobing and the fox were suffocating their laughter, I was told by the uncle that I could only nod repeatedly, so easily, he said he was tired before letting me go.
We had already investigated that He Bi taught third grade, and when we entered the campus, we went straight to the third grade cla*sroom.
I didn’t expect to find the cla*sroom, but when I asked a child, I found out that He Bi was not in the cla*sroom, but in the teacher’s office.
“What are you doing looking for Mr Ho now that he’s busy?” A little girl with missing teeth asked me.
I said, “What is your teacher He busy with? He asked me to come and give you a presentation.”
“What kind of report are you doing?”
I rubbed the little boy’s tiger head and said, “He says you all love the hero who saved the boat, Zhang Chao, and look who I am.”
I didn’t mean to play hard to get in front of the kids, I was just talking to them casually, trying to get their goodwill and then ask more questions about He Bi.
I didn’t expect the group of kids to gawk at me, and a little boy who was folding paper planes shouted, “You look like the driver, I just heard you talking to Grandpa the doorman at the door. Listen to me, everyone, these two are PLA uncles! They must have been invited by Mr. He Bi to give us a staged lecture!”
With a loud yell from this kid, Cai Xiaobing and Fox were both surrounded by a group of kids, while there wasn’t a single kid around me, so they were simply ignored.
Holy sh*t, are all kids so snobbish nowadays?
I laughed and cried, “Look at me, I’m Zhang Chao.”
The group of kids hugged Cai Xiaobing and Fox’s legs, shouting Uncle Liberation Army while completely ignoring me.
Cai Xiaobing laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes, “Captain, this is the most failed attempt you’ve made to obtain information.”
Luckily, He Bi soon returned to the cla*sroom with a little girl, only to end my embarra*sing situation.
I swept a glance at the little girl, her head bowed and her face pale, not daring to look at me and He Bi, probably because she had just been scolded.
“Zhang Chao! Why are you here?!” He Bi was particularly surprised to see me and hurried over to shake hands with me.
I said, “Haha, you said last time that you wanted me to give a speech to the kids, so I happened to have nothing to do so I came over, and these are my two roommates.”
The little girl gave He Bi a flustered look, and seeing that He Bi didn’t say anything, she walked back to her as with her head down and sat down in the empty seat next to the little boy who was folding paper aeroplanes.
The little boy muttered disgustedly, “Why are you crying again? Motherf*cker.”
It was better not to say this, but the more he said it, the more the little girl cried. The cla*sroom was so noisy that He Bi didn’t hear the subtle cries, but Cai Xiaobing and Fox and I did.
He Bi said, “Students, do you know who this person is?”
Halfway through his sentence, the little boy shouted, “The one driving the car!”
The whole cla*s laughed and I wanted to smack his a*s on the spot.
I wanted to smack him on the spot. He didn’t get angry and said with a smile, “Tao Zhengyu, raise your hand when you speak in cla*s. This is our hero from Tong City, Uncle Zhang Chao. He saved a whole boat all by himself, one cla*s in our school was saved by him, do you think he’s awesome?”
These children were easily persuaded and immediately looked at me with adoration, but at this time Tao Zhengyu said, “Report teacher, those two uncles of the PLA next to me are even more impressive! They fight the bad guys and defend the country!”
I had managed to get some attention, but I was diverted again, and the kids went back to worshipping Cai Xiaobing and the fox.
It’s a good thing I didn’t come here mainly for them today, or I would have been spitting blood.
Tao Zhengyu suddenly raised his hand again, and this time even He Bi got a little impatient and asked him what he was doing again.
Tao Zhengyu tugged on the little girl’s hair and said, “Teacher, Jiang Yang is crying again. She’s a coward.”
The cla*s burst into laughter and He Bei had no choice but to order Tao Zhengyu not to bully anyone.
After the little brats had been restrained from interrupting, they coaxed Cai Xiaobing to speak to the fox.
Well, I was left out in the cold, but it gave me a chance to wander around.
It was cla*s time and every cla*s was in session, except for the cleaning lady, who was leaning against the steps in the sun.
I went up to him and handed him a cigarette, the grandfather’s face was full of wrinkles that stretched out in a smile and said, “Young man, you are a talent, what do you want to know, ask.”
I was full of embarra*sment and said, “Is my purpose so obvious?”
I’ve had too many people come to me these days asking questions, but at least you’ll give me a cigarette, so you’re a decent person. You’re here to ask about Teacher He Bi too, right?”
My heart thumped, someone else was asking about He Bi? Who could it be?
My biggest fear was that the gun trafficking syndicate had heard that we had captured Lin Kang and knew that we would follow the trail to He Bi, so they killed him in advance to silence him.
“How do you know?”
moncler outlet online “Several people have come in the past two days, all asking about He Bi. But you guys are asking really strange questions, how could you think that Mr. He could be a criminal? He’s a once-in-a-century good teacher.”
If the gun trafficking group had already been here, then if I came here today to investigate He Bi, the story would soon reach their ears as well.
When that happens, either He Bi will disappear or they will kill him to silence him.
When the grandfather saw me frowning and not saying anything, he said, “Why would you guys think that Mr. He Bi would get primary school girls, he’s not that kind of person at all.”
“What?”
“For the past few days, people have been coming over and asking me if Teacher He Bi got Jiang Yang from their cla*s. I said I didn’t know, I was just a floor sweeper. But with that character of Teacher He, there’s no way it was him! It was definitely someone who framed him.”
I laughed and cried, “You’re talking about this.”
“Then what is it you want to ask about?”
“How is Mr. Ho a good person? Tell me.”
I’m a sweeper, but I sweep the floors in this school every day, so I’m a bit educated. There’s a saying that says that a Confucian sage teaches his disciples to have no cla*s, and Mr. He is this kind of person. No matter how bad the students in his cla*s were, no matter how naughty they were, he never gave up. Look at Tao Zhengyang in their cla*s, is this little brat annoying? He used to be even more annoying. He was a hooligan in school, hitting his cla*smates all the time, pulling girls’ hair and dragging their skirts. He never took money from parents and treated poor students and rich students alike, so that’s not a good teacher?”
No matter what I asked, I was afraid that this uncle would tell He Bi, and that would alert the snake.
But the purpose of today’s visit was achieved, and I got to know He Bi roughly so that I could have a more in-depth conversation with him later.
After a few more chilly words with the big man, I heard the bell ring behind me, so I hurriedly stood up, intending to ask the fox and Cai Xiaobing to leave.
But He Bi had to tell me to wait and said he wanted to treat the three of us to dinner. This is good, we can get in touch with him again and see what kind of person he really is.
The four of us left the office only after He Bi had finished packing up. It gets dark early in winter and it was dark at this time.
He Bi greeted us as we walked away, but when we reached the stairs, we heard a cry.
Cai Xiaobing and I looked at each other and we both tiptoed up.
Around the corner of the corridor, Tao Zhengyang was carrying a stick leg like a hooligan, while a frightened Jiang Yang was crying and cowering in the corner.
Cai Xiaobing cursed a cursed, “Little brats bullying girls.”
Tao Zhengyang stomped his foot, “Stop crying! I’ll beat you up if you cry again!”
But Jiang Yang cried even harder, so that Tao Zheng Yang grabbed her braid and pinched her face twice.
Even I couldn’t stand it anymore and was about to say something to stop her when Tao Zhengyang said again, “Stop crying! You’re a b*tch! If anyone bullies you, tell me and we’ll go beat him up together! You’re a coward to cry when you’re being bullied!”
