Chapter 5 Another day of ridicule
Suzuko was shocked. Could it be that... the copying of homework was discovered?
"You did a good job last night? Why didn't you do it overnight?" Teacher Wang smiled, but Lingzi felt a chill on her back.
Lingzi didn't dare to speak, and held the chalk hand in mid-air, then lowered his depressedly, standing in front of the blackboard, lowering his head and feeling at a loss.
"Li Lingzi, come and face everyone!" Teacher Wang suddenly put away his smile and raised his voice.
"Students, I have said it many times. It doesn't matter if I can't do it, but I must not copy it! Have I said it?"
"Sayed!" The students answered sparsely, only Li Qiang's answer was the loudest and straightest.
Teacher Wang looked at Li Qiang with satisfaction, "Very good! This morning, a classmate witnessed Li Lingzi lying on the stone bench on the side of the road to copy homework. I won't name the classmate who was copied, but I know who you are!"
Teacher Wang drifted his eyes intentionally or unintentionally, and Liu Lili quickly lowered her head, her heart pounding.
"In the past, I often said that classmates should help each other. This help is not to ask you to lend her homework to copy, but to ask you to show your love and time, patiently help her tutor her, and slowly improve her grades..." Teacher Wang continued, and a hint of warmth appeared in Lingzi's heart. The teacher was also for his own good.
"But! Students are careful, I said, but! Some people are like stones in the pit, smelly and hard! It's hopeless! Don't waste your energy anymore and let her stay in the cesspool! Those students who are good at studying, you can't pull her, so don't fall into the cesspool by yourself!"
The students burst into laughter again, and Li Qiang even exaggeratedly covered his nose with his hands and echoed the teacher: "Oh, it smells so smelly!" The students around him made them lean back and forth.
"Okay, don't waste everyone's time. Let's talk about a new lesson today. Li Lingzi, stand at the door!" Teacher Wang didn't even look at Lingzi, and turned around and wiped the blackboard.
The teaching building of the county middle school has been used for 10 or 20 years. It is still the same old two-story building, with an open-air corridor, stairs on both sides, and Lingzi's classroom is at the end of the second floor. Outside the door of the classroom are corridors and stairs. She stood silently at the corner of the door. There was a wall here, which could barely block the bitter north wind.
Suzuko has become accustomed to it. Since she was in junior high school, she has been standing here a lot in the past six months. Compared to being ridiculed by her classmates in the classroom, Suzuko prefers to stand alone at this corner, at least she can let her thoughts go freely without anyone disturbing her.
Here, Suzuko can go to Phoenix City. I heard that it is very prosperous, with traffic in the city and shops on both sides shining, just like those performed in a TV series.
Here, Lingzi can also play with her "baby" in her heart, tie a ball of wool to her grandmother's itch and tease the cat up and down, which is so happy.
Ryuko smiled happily.
"Are you happy to stand at the door?" A majestic male voice rang in his ears. Lingzi was startled and reluctantly said goodbye to the cat. He looked up and saw a tall figure standing in front of him.
"School, principal..." Suzuko was timid.
"You child doesn't seem to be causing trouble, why do you always stand at the door?" Although the principal did not smile on his face, his voice obviously eased a lot. The yellow-haired girl in front of him seemed to be very brave.
"I... don't study well." Suzuko was a little embarrassed and dared not look up.
"If you don't study well, you can work harder to catch up. You can't give up on yourself at a young age. Let the teacher call your parents another day. They should ask them to find a way to help you make up for your homework, communicate more with the teacher, and help you together." Principal Chen smiled happily.
"Don't!" Lingzi was so scared that she was almost begging: "I'm stupid, really! Since I was a child, my mother has said that I'm stupid, and it's useless to make up for the lessons. The principal begs you, don't call parents, my dad will beat me to death..."
"If you can't trust the teacher, I will talk to your father in person. I promise he won't hit you. You are too young and without external help, you can't improve your grades by yourself. You must trust us."
"My mother is the teacher, and she can't teach me well..." Lingzi muttered in a low voice, and the principal was stunned, and was speechless for a moment.
"Principal Chen, phone number!" someone downstairs shouted with his head tilted.
"Here you come!" Principal Chen raised his legs downstairs, walked two steps and turned around and asked, "What's your name?"
"Li Lingzi." Lingzi wanted to say something else, but saw the principal nodding and went downstairs thinking about it.
Suzuko leaned against the wall weakly. The last time she was called a parent was a month ago. At that time, the midterm exam had just ended, and Suzuko became the last in the class without any suspense.
Lingzi still can't forget that night Li Yibai went back from school and went home until he was drunk. When he entered the door, he kicked Lingzi. He stared at his blood-red eyes and shouted: "Next time, let me get angry at school, I will beat you to death! A shameful thing!"
That was the first time that Suzuko was beaten and scolded by her father. She shook in the corner and shook into a ball, but there was no tears.
When he was in elementary school, Suzuko's grades were also at the bottom. Because of Ji Xueying's relationship, the teachers were embarrassed to let Ji Xueying come to the parent-teacher meeting, and even acquiesced to Li Lingzi's parents not to come, which made Ji Xueying feel relieved.
But this did not delay the bellzi being beaten. Ji Xueying liked to pinch the bellzi's thighs with her hands, and she specially picked the tender flesh on the inside, so that the traces left behind were not visible outside.
After every mid-term and final exam, Linzi had to pass this level. Every time she cried and finished the battle, so that Linzi had exam syndrome. As soon as the paper was sent, Linzi's eyes were not shaking the test questions, but Ji Xueying's mouth full of dirty words and his steady and ruthless hand.
Gradually, Lingzi got used to all this. If Ji Xueying didn't hit her, she would worry that there would be greater punishments behind her. Every time she was beaten, Li Yibai pretended not to see her, and hid in his room like nothing happened, without looking at Lingzi's eyes for help.
Only grandma, only grandma comes out to save her every time, forcibly drag her out of Ji Xueying's men and takes her to her room, and even quarrels with Ji Xueying.
Ji Xueying threatened to drive Chen Chunyan back to the countryside several times, but of course she just threatened to drive Chen Chunyan back to her hometown. Where can I eat hot meals when my family is going home from get off work and school?
"There is no real stupid person in the world. As long as you work hard, sooner or later you will find your extraordinary things." This is what my grandmother comforts her after every time she is beaten.
"Oh! Where is my extraordinary nature?" Lingzi felt sad.
