I have something to attend to today and will be back very late, so there are only two updates for today. I'll make up for the missing ones tomorrow!
******************
More and more children entered the classroom, until it was about 90% full. Then, a female teacher walked in, standing on the podium with a naturally raised corner of her mouth and warm, loving eyes, as if constantly conveying kindness to the children at all times.
The teacher gently knocked on the desk, "Classmates, classmates, please be quiet!"
Before coming to school, most of these children had attended kindergarten. Even if they hadn't, their parents had taught them basic knowledge at home. The first rule was to listen to the teacher, and soon the scene quieted down. The teacher expressed great satisfaction.
"Classmates, my surname is Ruan. From now on, everyone should call me Teacher Ruan. Now, the teacher will take roll call. Students who are called, please raise your hand and respond, okay?"
"Wow~~~~~!" When a group of kids gather to answer questions, they always unconsciously drag out their voices, and adults with slightly less patience can't help but lose control. Fortunately, kindergarten teachers are specially trained, and Teacher Ruan remains very calm.
"Song Chao!" The teacher began taking roll call.
"Over here!" The classmate's voice was soft and fluffy like a noodle, as if he had been abused and starved for several days and nights.
"Zhang Wu!"
"Arrived——!" This classmate's tongue was more curled up than a sesame seed ball, completely unclear in enunciation.
"Shangguan Zhe!"
"Arrived." This classmate is quite neat and tidy, but looking at that messy hairstyle, he must be a kind of person who loves to flirt with girls.
"Money is plentiful!"
"Here!" The classmate's voice was loud and clear, but instead of sitting properly in the chair, he knelt down, almost lying on the table, his hands mischievously hooking onto the braids of the girl in front. He looked like a troublemaker at first glance.
……
Different kids have different personalities, and this ordinary first-grade classroom has almost all the types of young children you can think of. It's got to be said that being a kindergarten teacher is really a technical job.
"White Dust!" The teacher had already changed the name on the attendance sheet. However, there was no response from anyone present.
The little kids curiously looked around, wondering which idiot named Bai Jingchen didn't show up.
"Little Dust!" The teacher called out again, her warm eyes fixed on Little Dust, with a kind smile.
Jingchen blinked her big eyes innocently at the teacher, completely unaware of what was happening. Wei stood guard lightly pulled Jingchen's sleeve and whispered, "The teacher is calling you, hurry up!"
Xiao Jingchen looked at Wei Wuxian with a puzzled expression, his mouth agape, "Where?"
Okay, although she had told others her name was Bai Jingchen more than once, this was the first time someone actually called her that. The little guy hadn't connected the name to herself at all, plus her reflex arc was a bit off, so... Her reaction time was also a bit too slow.
The teacher didn't mind Xiaojingchen's distraction at all, she smiled slightly and continued to take attendance with her head down. However, many children looked at Xiaojingchen with strange eyes, Qian Duoduo even covered his mouth and snickered, thinking he was whispering quietly to others, "I didn't expect that our class would have an idiot, she should indeed sit with the poor ghost, when I get home I'll definitely tell my dad to change my class. I don't want to be in the same class as an idiot!"
Xiao Jingchen moved her ears slightly, and with superhuman hearing, she clearly caught what Qian Duoduo said. It was as if he intentionally wanted to provoke the person involved. Qian Duoduo's speech was not fast, but Xiao Jingchen was stunned for five seconds before finally understanding the meaning behind his words. Meanwhile, Qian Duoduo's eyes remained fixed on Xiao Jingchen with a mocking gaze, and even an idiot would know that he was talking about her.
Then, Xiao Jingchen opened his mouth without hesitation and said, "You're the idiot, your whole family is an idiot, you're a household of idiots!"
Alright, tech-obsessed classmate Bai Ze Chen, congratulations to you, you've successfully taught the innocent girl her first foul language phrase!
Qian Duoduo was leaning on the desk, trying to avoid the teacher's attention, when she whispered something. Xiao Jingchen, on the other hand, sat upright in her chair, head held high and chest out, speaking at a normal volume. As a result, everyone in the class heard what she said, and all the children turned their heads to look at her. But she didn't react at all, her big round eyes calmly staring at Qian Duoduo, who was smiling somewhat smugly.
The commotion of the children made the teacher have to temporarily stop calling the roll. "Bai Jingchen, what did you just say?"
"You're the idiot, your whole family is idiots, you're a household of idiots!" Heaven have mercy, Xiao Jingdian was simply repeating what she had just said in response to the teacher's question, but this time she was looking at the teacher as she spoke. As a result, it seemed to Teacher Ruan that there was something slightly off about her tone. Teacher Ruan cleared his throat and said sternly, "Insulting people is not right, you need to apologize to Qian Duoduo."
Xiao Jingchen tilted his head in confusion, "Why did he say I'm right and I said he's wrong?"
Ms. Ruan was taken aback, she hadn't heard Qian Duoduo's whispered comments at all, and naturally didn't know that it was Qian Duoduo who had provoked Xiao Jingchen first. So, Ms. Ruan turned her gaze to Qian Duoduo, who stood up and said with a clear conscience, "Teacher, I didn't say anything about her."
Lying and denying the truth is something that most children will do, just to avoid being scolded by adults when they do something wrong. But for Little Jingchen, this was simply an unimaginable fairy tale - how could a child possibly tell lies?
She stared at Qian Duoduo with wide eyes, her bright and clear eyes making Qian Duoduo somewhat unable to meet her gaze. He subconsciously avoided Bai Jingdeng's eyes. Mr. Ruan said, "Since Qian Duoduo didn't say anything about you, that means it's your fault, Bai Jingdeng. Apologize to Qian Duoduo."
Xiao Jingchen pursed her small mouth tightly, her big black eyes silently staring at Qian Duoduo. Wei Shu secretly tugged on Xiao Jingchen's sleeve and whispered, "The teacher wants you to apologize, so just apologize. Your dad is still outside, if the teacher scolds you, your dad will beat you when you get home."
Alright, this is the common image of teachers and parents in children's minds!
The whole class, including the parents who had not yet left outside the window, were all staring at Xiao Jingchen. Qian Duoduo couldn't help but feel a little proud of himself, and in a corner where the teacher couldn't see, he raised an eyebrow and made a silly face at Xiao Jingchen, with a smug expression on his face, completely forgetting that he had just been stared down by Xiao Jingchen's gaze.
"Apologize to Qian Duoduo!" Ms. Ruan's voice was slightly heavier, as a teacher, it is her duty to teach and educate, but she also had to teach these naive children the most basic moral principles, of course, humans generally judge right from wrong based on what they see.
Xiao Jingchen almost ignored the teacher on the podium, her gaze always fixed on Qian Duoduo. Just as Ruan teacher couldn't help but want to speak again, Xiao Jingchen suddenly moved. She jumped down from her chair and walked to Qian Duoduo's seat with a pitter-patter sound. Qian Duoduo knelt on the chair, looking down at Xiao Jingchen with a sly smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Jingchen blinked, suddenly lifted his foot and kicked the chair leg hard. The chair fell to the ground abruptly, and Qian Duoduo, who was kneeling on it, didn't have time to react before falling straight down onto the floor, his chin hitting the solid floorboard, almost knocking out his front teeth.
Qian Duodu was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes welled up with hot tears. "Waah---" he cried out in pain.
Mr. Ruan's face changed color on the spot, and he hastily walked down from the podium, helped Qian Duoduo up, then glared at Bai Jingchen, angrily saying, "Bai Jingchen, what are you doing? On the first day of class, you scolded your own classmate as a fool. The teacher asked you to apologize, and you still said it was wrong?! You even kicked him!!"
Xiao Jingchen fearlessly met Mr. Ruan's gaze, her clear eyes reflecting the teacher's image. In a soft and loud voice, she said, "The master says that wrong is wrong, right is right. The Buddha saves all living beings, and all living beings are naturally equal. When Qian Duoduo scolded me, the teacher didn't say he was wrong, nor did he ask him to apologize to me. So how can it be wrong for me to scold him? Since he was wrong to scold people first, what's wrong with my kicking the stool?"
Teacher Ruan was left speechless by Xiaojingchen's words. A qualified kindergarten teacher is not lacking in patience, she knows that today's children are all clever and cunning, and adults who underestimate them and suffer losses are absolutely not few. Xiaojingchen spoke with conviction, it really didn't seem like she was telling a lie, most importantly, this child's eyes were too clean and pure, making people involuntarily want to believe her.
The classroom was silent, and the children couldn't help but stare at Jingchen in a daze. In this classroom, the children always regarded their peers as their own country, with the teacher being the only adult - naturally, they were on opposite sides. On the one hand, they had to listen to the teacher's words, but on the other hand, they always had some rebellious desires. So, when faced with a classmate who dared to confront the teacher head-on, a sense of camaraderie rose up in their hearts, as if they had found an ally in a common enemy, and their relationship suddenly became much closer.
Seeing the teacher not speaking, Xiao Jingchen picked up the chair that had fallen to the ground, dusted off the dirt on the back of the chair, and seriously said to the chair, "Sorry, I kicked you!" Turning his head, he stared at Qian Duoduo with a serious expression (calmly) and said, "I kicked the chair. It was you who didn't sit properly that made you fall off. If you dare scold me again in the future, I will directly kick your bones broken."
Qian Duodu subconsciously shrunk back a bit, looking pitiful as he hid behind Teacher Ruan. Teacher Ruan's face immediately turned green. She wouldn't take Bai Jiechen's words seriously, after all, it was absurd for a six-year-old to threaten someone with breaking their bones. However, this didn't mean she would tolerate Bai Jiechen's violent tendencies. "Bai Jiechen, go to the back of the classroom and stand in punishment!"
Xiao Jingchen looked up and gazed at Ruan Laoshi with a puzzled expression, "Why?"
"Let you go and you'll go, why so many whys?" Mr. Ruan was already directly infuriated by Xiao Jing's words, his seven orifices smoking with anger.
Xiao Jingchen looked up at Master Ruan's angry gaze and said seriously, "Why can't I ask why? Master says that if you understand, you understand, and if you don't understand, you don't understand. Not understanding but pretending to understand is truly ignorance. Dad also said that if there are things you don't understand, you can ask the teacher. But Teacher, you won't let me ask. What Dad says is always right, so it must be wrong for the teacher. Teacher, you made a mistake, shouldn't you apologize to me?"
"Who is this unlucky kid? He's really taking advantage of me!"
