Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Come here, son. Tell me what you want to be when you grow up? A chef or an engineer?" Ma Dongmei called her son.

"I don't want to be a cook. Xu Sheng always scolds me for being the son of a stinky cook. He says his father is a deputy section chief and is better than my father. I want to be a deputy section chief too."

"This Xu Damao is like a ragtag gangster who has no morals and is so daring to laugh at me. I'll teach him a lesson." Sha Zhu was so angry after hearing this.

"Have you achieved anything? You're always cleaning up this and that, and you only know how to fight. Can't you learn from Zhao Shanhe? With his position as chief engineer, who wouldn't give him face? Look, Xu Damao dared to say a bad word, and he even tried to curry favor with him.

Didn't you see that when you reported to school today, the school principal was waiting at the door early? And you rushed to find the third uncle. I told you that your son should study hard and become an engineer in the future so that he can be respected. A cook is just a servant. "

"Mom, Xu Sheng's father is a deputy section chief, and An Tong's father is an engineer. Who is more capable between the two?"

"Son, let me tell you, your father is still the best. They are deputy section chiefs and engineers, so what? They still have to eat. I don't want to do that, and they can't even have food to eat. So your father is still the best." Sha Zhu said from the side, with his head held high like a proud peacock.

"Silly Zhu, let me tell you, if you continue to tempt our son to learn to cook, I will never forgive you. We will divorce. My son must become a leader."

Sha Zhu lowered his head and muttered, "Being an official, being a leader, our He family has this gene, our ancestors have been cooks for generations."

"What are you mumbling about? Just say what you want to say."

"Nothing, nothing. I said my son will be a high-ranking official in the future and look after Xu Damao," Sha Zhu said.

"That's pretty much it."

Soon it was time for dinner and the Zhao family gathered together again.

"Brother, Amber said he was bullied and he doesn't want to go to school. What should we do?" Zhao Shanhu asked

"This matter must be taken seriously. If it's just a fight, it's fine. We've all been there, but school bullying is not okay. It can easily hit children and make them hate school. Over time, the child's life will be ruined.

You and I will both take a leave tomorrow. This matter must be dealt with seriously. All the students who attend Red Star Primary School are from our factory. You represent the Security Department and I represent the factory. If the children are wrong, find their parents. If they don’t have time to deal with it, I will give them time. Find them all tomorrow and deal with it seriously.”

"Brother, what is school bullying? What is school aversion? I go to school too, but I've never heard of it. If we all go, won't it be a bit of an overreaction? Isn't this just calling the parents?"

"School bullying is similar to street bullying, except that it is different in society and school. School aversion means not wanting to go to school and hating it.

Don’t think that children’s affairs are trivial. This affects the child’s whole life. I think no matter what you do, it’s not too much.”

"Shanhu, you just need to listen to your eldest brother. Amber was bullied, and I, as his mother, feel bad too. If you don't want to go, then I, as his mother, will go with your eldest brother. Anyone who dares to bully my son must be taught a lesson." Zhang Baixue said from the side.

"I'll go, I'll go. I didn't say I wouldn't go. He's my own son. I feel bad for him. How can I not avenge him? Sister-in-law, please ask Uncle Cheng to take half a day off for me tomorrow."

The next morning, Zhao Shanhe and Zhao Shanhu rushed to the school with their two children and backpacks covered with footprints.

"Mr. Zhao is here to send the children again?" the head teacher asked

"Where's the principal? Is the principal here?"

"Yes, I'm in the office. I'll go look for him. Mr. Zhao, please come in and sit for a while."

"No need, you go ahead and do your thing, I'll go find him in his office." After saying that, the two of them took the child to the principal's office.

Zhao Shanhe didn't even knock on the door and walked in. "Principal Wang, this is what you told me to do about taking care of my son. Yesterday was only the first day, and my son and nephew were bullied by the seniors. Their stationery was stolen, their school bags were stepped on, they were beaten, and they threatened not to tell anyone.

This is the Red Star Primary School you manage. What's the difference between you and the second-rate people in society? If you can't do it, I will report to the higher-ups about what the school does and replace it with a capable principal. Are you teaching a group of students or a group of bandits?"

"Mr. Zhao, please take a seat first and have a cup of tea to calm down. I will ask about the situation and give you an explanation. I will definitely deal with it seriously."

"Go quickly. I really don't know how you can be a principal. I dare say my son is not an exception. Can you take care of it? If not, let my brother take care of it. He happens to be in the security department. His son has also been bullied. If not, take him to the security department."

"Yes, yes, please calm down, I'll go right away." The principal was also angry that such a thing happened, especially since the other person was a leader.

Soon, after the teacher's questioning, the students who bullied others were found. They were five fifth-grade students from the same class.

"Mr. Zhao, we have investigated everything. As for these five students, what are your requests?"

"It's not easy for me to discipline them, so let their parents take care of it. Write down their parents' names and work addresses for me. If they work in the steel mill, come to me directly."

"Is Mr. Zhao making a big deal out of nothing?" The principal had his own thoughts at the moment. If he found someone and the news got out, it would be bad for his reputation.

"Making a fuss out of nothing? How do you normally handle this kind of thing?"

"Stand up and write a self-criticism, and inform the whole school,"

"Will it work? If it does, it can still happen. I'm asking you if you can find it. If not, I'll ask the security department to find it."

"Mr. Zhao, it's just a small matter, there's no need to make a big deal about it, right?"

"Small matter? I tell you there is no small matter when it comes to children. This will affect the child's life. Since the principal thinks so, let's not talk about it. I will transfer my son and nephew to another school. Studying in such a school will ruin the children. If the school spirit is not right, what's the point of talking about teaching?"

I understand your thoughts. Since you don't want to make a big fuss, I will make a big fuss. Your ideological awareness is not good enough. I will report it to my superiors and let you learn a lesson."

In the 70s, this kind of thing was indeed a trivial matter. After all, Zhao Shanhe came from the later city. Zhao Shanhe knew that school bullying was no trivial matter. If he encountered it, it must be dealt with seriously. The principal could only blame himself for his bad luck.

"No, no, no, Mr. Zhao, I'll go find their parents right away, please spare me."

"Parents send their children to school to learn, not to be bullied. It is understandable that children of the same age fight and quarrel, but these are five fifth-grade students. It is obvious that they are bullying. If your son was bullied, he could just write a self-criticism and let it go.

What if it happens again in the future? We must resolutely resist this kind of bullying and teach them a lesson. Children are the flowers of the motherland and the future of the motherland. Education is not only about teaching them to study, but also about teaching them how to be human beings. "
