Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

In Nanluoguxiang, Li Yumei was holding her little daughter, brows furrowed, and hurried to the Red Star Primary School.

After all, Goudan’s mother Wang Qiaoyun was not around, and there was no suitable person to help her take care of her daughter, so she had to take care of her herself.

Li Yumei was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead and she was in a state of confusion.

But what makes her even more headache is that she doesn’t know how to solve this troublesome problem?

If I fail to handle the situation well and end up causing more trouble and messing things up, wouldn't that mean I would become mortal enemies with the Yan family?

In Li's mother's opinion, more friends mean more roads, more enemies mean more walls. Making enemies with shrewd people like the Yan family will only bring disadvantages and no benefits.

"Look, mom, it's a windmill! Sister Yushui, Goudan, and Goudan's second sister all have windmills. Yan Jiefang doesn't have a windmill."

Li Yumei was brought back to her senses by her daughter's voice. She looked in the direction her little daughter pointed and saw, sure enough, a few children were running and cheering with small windmills in their hands.

Li's mother didn't hear it clearly. She thought her little daughter saw other children playing with paper windmills and wanted to play with them too. So she just replied casually: "You can play in the yard after we get home."

Han Xiaoxiao happily responded, "Okay."

After leaving Nanluoguxiang and coming out onto the street, Han Xiaoxiao looked left and right like a curious baby.

Soon, she stared in one direction and began to count on her fingers and mutter: "Ode to the Goose, Quiet Night Thoughts, Pity the Peasants, Spring Dawn, wow, four poems, five poems equal a string of sugar and fortune, if she recites one more poem, she will get seven sugars and fortune!"

At this moment, a crying voice came: "I want to eat candied haws, I want it, I want it!"

Li Yumei was attracted by the crying sound. She stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.

It turned out that a little boy of four or five years old was crying and wanting to eat candied haws. His mother refused to buy him any, so the little boy started to throw a tantrum.

The little boy's mother didn't want to indulge her child's bad habits, but she also felt it was embarrassing to see him in public. Suddenly, she saw the well-behaved Han Xiaoxiao, so she pointed at Han Xiaoxiao and lectured her son:

"Look at this little girl who is younger than you, but she didn't even make a fuss about eating candied haws!"

The little boy actually looked at Han Xiaoxiao, and Han Xiaoxiao looked up and said seriously: "You can only get seven sugar blessings if you can recite five poems. I can recite four poems now. If I can recite one more poem, I can get seven sugar blessings!"

The little boy angrily shouted back, "I don't believe it! You're lying!"

He is five years old and still not in school. How could this little brat possibly memorize four poems?

The most important thing was that he felt that if he cried for a while longer, he would be able to eat a candied haws, because he got one last time after crying for a while. Now his good thing was ruined by this little brat, how could he not be angry and ashamed.

"Wo Mei is a liar!" Han Xiaoxiao said angrily, "Then recite it to you. "Ode to the Goose" by Luo Binwang Goose, goose, goose, they sing with their necks curved to the sky..."

Someone immediately exclaimed: "Wow, this child must be the god of literature, he can recite four poems even though he can't pronounce the words properly! ? "

"Big sister, you taught this child well!"

For a moment, the onlookers praised her one after another, and Han Xiaoxiao became the child of other people's families.

Children these days basically don’t start primary school until they are six years old, and the illiteracy rate is as high as 80%. Most parents “can’t read a single Chinese character, and wouldn’t know a single character when a carrying pole falls over”;

Han Xiaoxiao, at such a young age, can actually recite four poems. He is truly a child prodigy. The poems can be a topic of conversation after dinner.

Hearing people praising her daughter, Li Yumei felt proud and extremely happy, which alleviated her previous bad mood.

The little boy opened his mouth in shock. Although I couldn't understand what the kid was saying, it sounded very powerful.

The boy's mother also took the opportunity to teach her son: "Look, people younger than you can recite four poems. You can only eat candied haws when you can recite five poems!"

The little boy pouted and looked unwilling, muttering indignantly: "I hate smart little brats!"

The news that the three-year-old girl could recite poems fluently spread quickly through word of mouth. From then on, parents in Beijing had an unwritten rule when educating their children: if the child clamors for something, he must recite five poems first!

Parents often say when educating their children: "Look, a two- or three-year-old can recite four poems fluently, but you can't even recite one, and you still have the nerve to ask for this and that? Go where you want to be!"

From then on, a craze for reciting poetry arose among children in the capital city. One could often hear children reciting poetry on the streets and in the alleys.

Li Yumei was so happy to see her daughter doing this that she couldn't stop smiling. She thought she should learn from her older son and encourage her younger daughter more: "Xiaoxiao, when you can recite five poems, Mom will make you sugar cakes."

"Okay, okay. Thank you, Mom. You're so nice." Han Xiaoxiao had never eaten sugar biscuits, but she knew they were delicious the moment she heard them. She especially thought that those with sugar must be delicious.

People are in high spirits when good things happen, and Li Yumei's mind also becomes active. She thinks that she should find her second son first, let the second son look after the fourth son, and then go to the elementary school to find the third son.

She had never dealt with such a troublesome matter before. She had no idea what to do at the beginning. She just wanted to go to the elementary school to find the third child as soon as possible, but what to do after finding the third child? Her mind was a complete mess.

Li Yumei brought her daughter to Hongxing Junior High School to find the second son Han Yong.

Han Yong was still a little puzzled: "Mom, why are you and Xiaoxiao here?"

"Xiao Cong has gotten into big trouble." Li Yumei sighed bitterly and said sadly, "Xiao Cong spread the news that Yan Jiecheng had framed your brother in school, causing Yan Jiecheng to be scolded by his classmates. Yan Jiecheng was so angry that he beat up Yan Jiefang, and now the matter has become a big deal..."

Mother Li told her second son almost exactly what she had heard from the old Yan family, also wanting to see if he had any good solutions.

At first, Han Yong thought that his third brother had done a great job and he had vented his anger for his eldest brother. However, when he thought carefully about the serious consequences of this matter, he frowned unconsciously.

Han Yong tried hard to think of a solution to the problem. After much thought, he decided that if he didn't want to make enemies with the Yan family, he would have to let his brother explain to everyone that what he had said before was all nonsense, and clear the name of the Yan family father and son.

But in this way, my brother would become a liar and would definitely be ostracized by his classmates. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to study well in the future.

But to resolve this troublesome matter, someone must come forward and apologize.

As he was thinking about it, Han Yong suddenly had an idea. Could he take his brother's place and apologize?

Since this idea came up, it has been unstoppable.

Han Yong felt that since he was a junior high school student, going to the elementary school to apologize would not have that much of an impact on him.

The most important thing is to get my brother out of this matter.

Then, Han Yong told Li's mother about his plan to take the blame.

Li Yumei frowned: "Will this work?"

"Mom, if our family doesn't want to be enemies with the Yan family, someone must come forward to apologize and calm this storm. If I go to elementary school to apologize, I won't be embarrassed in junior high school. It's better than Xiao Cong being ostracized by his classmates after he apologizes."

Li Yumei couldn't think of a better solution, so she could only sigh helplessly: "Well, I'll have to inconvenience you then."

Han Yong smiled indifferently: "It's okay."

After the mother and son finished their discussion, they took Han Xiaoxiao to Hongxing Primary School.

Yan Bugui had already been waiting at the school gate, and greeted with a warm smile: "Old Han's, this way."

Yan Suanpan and Li Yumei left the courtyard house at the same time, but Li Yumei turned to Hongxing Junior High School halfway.

As the three of them walked forward, Han Yong told Yan Bugui about his idea of ​​apologizing on behalf of his brother.

Yan Bugui frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: He just wanted the storm over this matter to be settled as soon as possible, and it would be fine if anyone could come forward to apologize and admit their mistakes.

The key is to give an explanation to the principal and to all the teachers and students in the school.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Bugui took Li Yumei and others to see the principal. After all, this incident had a very bad impact, and they had to inform the principal first.

The principal also wanted to put an end to this farce as soon as possible, because if it spread further and the news reached the ears of parents, it would be a big trouble.

After all, the principal still sympathized with Yan Bugui, a teacher at the school, and decided to hold a school-wide meeting, allowing Han Yong to clarify the facts and make a deep self-examination at the meeting, in order to clear Yan Bugui's name in public.

At the same time, we must severely criticize the trend of spreading rumors and advise students not to believe in rumors and not to spread rumors.

When Han Yong heard that a school-wide meeting was going to be held to criticize him, he suddenly remembered what his elder brother had said before: 'If you want to be a cadre in the future, you cannot have any stains on you, because there will be strict political review for being a cadre.'

Now, this has cleared the matter for the Yan family father and son, but he himself has been branded with a bad reputation for framing others, which may become a stain that he cannot wash away in the future.

Han Yong frowned and thought for a moment, then said solemnly, "Principal, I can come forward to clarify for Teacher Yan, but I can't clarify for Yan Jiecheng."

The principal and Yan Bugui all looked at him in confusion. Yan Suanpan asked in confusion, "Second son of the Han family, what do you mean by this? What do you mean you can only clarify it for me, but not for my family?"

Han Yong organized his words and said seriously, "I can explain to everyone that it was because of me that my brother passed on the wrong message, which led to the involvement of Teacher Yan. But I absolutely cannot bear the bad reputation of falsely accusing others!"

The main point is that you can apologize, but you must not ruin your reputation.

At this time, Li Yumei also reacted and hurriedly joined in: "Principal, you can't let my child's reputation be ruined!"

The principal frowned and looked at Yan Bugui, and asked, "Teacher Yan, what do you think?"

Yan Bugui thought for a moment with a bitter face, sighed helplessly, and nodded in agreement: "Then clear my reputation for me first."

The matter has no way to be resolved, and one of the two parties must be punished.

Yan Suanpan had previously thought about asking his wife to go to Han's house to cry to Li Yumei. If Li Yumei was soft-hearted, she would most likely ask Han Cong to apologize to them and clear their reputation. Now it seems that Han Yong is not stupid either.

Finally, the two sides discussed and decided to let Han Yong come forward to apologize, saying that he instigated his brother to spread gossip about Teacher Yan's family without understanding the situation clearly, which led to misunderstanding of Teacher Yan and causing trouble to Teacher Yan. He solemnly apologized to Teacher Yan.

Seeing the attitudes of both parties, the principal also sensed something was wrong and shook his head helplessly, just wanting to resolve this mess quickly.

"Then we won't hold this education conference. We'll go to the classes where Mr. Yan's two sons are and apologize. This matter will be over."
