Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhao, you are right. My thinking is backward and my understanding is not profound enough. I will reflect on it. I hope Mr. Zhao can give me a chance."

"Let's talk about it after you finish your work. Let's deal with the children first. Can you find their parents? You can't just let the security department find them. This matter must be resolved today."

"Yes, I will ask these children to find their parents right away. Don't come back until they find their parents."

"If you ask them to go find them, aren't you afraid that they will run away? Or let them find someone to pretend to be your parents. You and the teachers who don't have classes go in person. No matter how busy you are today, you must invite them to come. Bullying is not allowed. If this happens once, there will be a second time. We must prevent future troubles. Do you understand?"

"Okay, I'll go myself. They're all children of our steel mill. I believe everyone will come for the sake of their children. Mr. Zhao, please have some tea to calm down. I'll be back soon."

After the principal left, Zhao Shanhu asked, "Brother, are you really planning to transfer the children to another school? Where can they be transferred to? Other schools are a bit far from us."

"Send them to the school in the Ministry of Industry. The students there are all children of cadres, and the environment is better than here. Don't you see that this school is in chaos from the root? The principal has no ambition at all and just wants to avoid trouble. The school spirit and discipline are too poor. Most of the teachers in the school are like uncles with old-fashioned ideas. There are too few young teachers."

"Row"

"How is my third brother? Has he written to me again? I think we should let him come back. I heard that life in the countryside is not easy now, and there hasn't been any trouble with his father-in-law for a long time."

"I don't know what's going on anymore since I haven't received any letters from you. My third brother has only sent me good news and not bad news. I'm worried too. If things really don't work out, I'll go over there in a few days and visit my third uncle, and return to my roots."

"Brother, to be honest, I really admire you. If it were me, I really don't know what I would do. Fortunately, you were born earlier than me. The third child is also lucky. If it weren't for the eldest brother, he and Huang Duoduo would never be together."

"It's not that we are being polite. We are brothers. We are one family and should not have different opinions. What I am worried about now is what will happen to Erya. She will be 21 soon and she hasn't found a husband yet. When Shanhai left, he took away all the money Erya had saved over the years."

"Yes, and Aunt Chen has been very caring towards us brothers over the years. If it weren't for Aunt Chen's support, Bai Xue really wouldn't be able to go to school."

"Yeah, let's discuss this behind closed doors when we get home. Let's not talk about this at school for now."

"Dad, when I was playing with my brothers and sisters, I saw that my aunt was sent back. She didn't let me tell you."

"An Tong, when did you see it?"

"Just a few days ago,"

"I saw it, too," Amber added.

"Looks like there's no need to worry. It just depends on when Arya will confront us."

"Let's go home and ask. After Erya's matter is settled, I will go to Shandong to take a look."

After about an hour, the principal and parents of students arrived one after another. They were all fathers. The principal went to the factory to look for them, and they were all employees of the steel rolling mill, and one of them was from their technical department.

"Hello, Engineer Zhao" x5. Zhao Shanhe can be said to be a prominent figure in the factory. He is the youngest among the senior cadres. With his height, it is hard for people in the factory not to know him.

"It will be easy if you know me. Besides Lao Liu, I know people from our technical department. You guys can introduce yourselves too so we can get to know each other."

"Hello, Mr. Zhao. I'm a third-level fitter in our factory. My name is Zhao Dalu."

"Hello, Mr. Zhao. I am also a third-level fitter in our car. I work in the same workshop as Zhao Dalu. My name is Zhao Daniu."

"Hello, Mr. Zhao, my name is Li Erzhu, and I'm an electrician."

"Hello, Mr. Zhao, my name is Niu Dadan, and I'm a blacksmith."

"Okay, then we know each other now. Why did I call you here today?"

"Mr. Zhao, I'm so sorry, our little bastard just deserves to be punished. I will punish him later. We will take his schoolbag and stationery with us. You can beat him as much as you want, as long as you don't kill him. Can you please not fire him?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhao, I was negligent in disciplining him. You beat our little bastard at will."

"That's right, you can beat me as much as you want, just don't fire me."

"A few of you also have this idea?"

"Um"

"It seems that you don't realize where the problem lies. If beating can solve the problem, we wouldn't have called you here. We are all parents, and I believe we all hope that our children will succeed, right?

What kind of behavior is this from your children? Bullying the weak and bullying. How is it different from those second-rate people in society? Do you know your children well? If your children are disobedient, you think that just kicking them a few times will solve the problem. How can that solve the problem?

Learning is not just about learning knowledge, but also about learning how to be a good person, a person who is useful to the country and society. What are you working so hard for every day? Isn't it all for the children? I hope the children will become successful.

Don't think my words are harsh, can they become successful like this? If they are only asked to write a self-criticism or stand in the corner, will they realize their mistakes? I tell you, it will only stimulate their rebellious psychology and further revenge.

Corporal punishment is only a means, not an end. The purpose of calling you here today is to educate them, to make them realize their mistakes and never make such mistakes again. Do you understand?

Who else told you to fire me? Do I have that much power? If you spread the news, you will think that I, Zhao Shanhe, abused my power for personal gain."

"Mr. Zhao, we don't have as much knowledge as you do. We will do whatever you say."

"Okay, this is what you said. Don't feel sorry for the children. They like to steal things. I will tell them one thing: things are only right if they are earned by themselves. Stealing is illegal.

I give you a day off today. You can take them to the street to pick up waste or paste matchboxes. You can only supervise them and not help them. Let them create benefits with their own hands and buy a pencil case.

If the money today is not enough, they can go after school tomorrow, or go home to do housework for you, wash clothes and cook to earn money. Anyway, every penny must be earned by themselves.

We need to make them understand that if they want something, they need to create it with their own hands, not get it for nothing, and certainly not bully others for profit. We need to make them know that their parents’ money is not easy to come by, do you understand?"

"Got it, Mr. Zhao, how much money should we let them earn?"

"Money is not the goal. Letting them understand this is the same as earning something. You can decide how much to get. It would be best if I could give them a pencil case. They would like it, so let them create it themselves."

"Mr. Zhao, I, Old Liu, really thank you. My son bullied your child, but you didn't retaliate. Instead, you wanted them to learn well. I really admire you, Mr. Zhao. You are really broad-minded."

Zhao Shanhe thought, is that really the case? How can I be so great? My idea is really annoying, not only for the children, but also for the adults. It is more satisfying than scolding. I just said something, but you guys are going to run yourself to death today.

I don't believe that you will run around all day and then go home today without beating your child. It is not easy for me to beat your child. If I beat him, my reputation will be ruined. But my son cannot help but get rid of his anger, so I have to let you beat him. At the same time, I can still have a good reputation and kill two birds with one stone.
