Ten years later, I met a girl petite

Wandering around after dinner, I met a young mother with a seven- or eight-year-old girl.

The little girl hid timidly behind her mother.

After looking at me, she stared at me, "Teacher Qiu, is it you?"

Well------, I looked at her in surprise, my mind constantly searching for who this strange woman really was in the depths of my memory.

"Oh yes, I'm Teacher Qiu, are you?"

Only to see her smile and giggle: "Teacher, I am a petite, you forgot."

Oh, and finally remembered, this girl was the first student I had come to the city to teach.

The conversation box was opened at once, and now I run a small shop selling clothing, divorced during the epidemic last year.

I didn't expect to see me here in ten years, and when I had time, I could take my master and mother and take my children to sit in her shop like this.

A clear memory instantly goes back to ten years ago,

I taught her in her last year of junior high school.

On the third day of the new year,

Petite often sat in the corner of the class where no one was watching.

Even after each rearrangement of seats,

She always managed to adjust her seat.

At first, I always didn't understand why she did this, why she liked corners so much.

I noticed this shy, introverted and unsociable girl who never spoke in class, even though she knew the answer;

In physical education class, I used to sit on the edge of the playground every time and watch other children play and play.

I tried to communicate with her, but it was no use, she didn't open her mouth very much.

And asked the teachers who had taught her,

Teachers unanimous answers,

She was like that, just like that in the beginning.

How is this possible?

I reached out to my petite mom.

This is a fiery woman who talks like a machine gun and is doing a small business.

That

I experienced the embarrassment of not giving anyone a chance to interject.

To the effect that,

She didn't fit in with her father's personality and divorced.

She's been like this since they divorced, and she doesn't know what she thinks all day.

Usually, I am very busy and can't care about talking to her.

Let her go, the girl will always marry.

Petite did not graduate.

Did not return to school after one week,

Her mother came to school,

Packed her bags and left.

Not a word remained.

Later, intermittently listening to a girl not far from her house said,

Petite can't stand her mother's nagging,

Ran away from home.

I heard about it again near graduation

Petite talked about her boyfriend outside and was ready to get married at eleven.

Later, I didn't hear any more news of the petite.

Until, ten years later, today.

What surprised me the most was that

At that time, she was so introverted that she could speak so well, and she was somewhat similar to her mother.

I was dumbfounded.

Parting

I said to the petite,

The child is still young, be patient when speaking, listen to the child's ideas,

There is a need for learning help, although told to the teacher.

Well, teacher, the child is very obedient, just a little introverted,

Like when she was a child, she didn't communicate and didn't fit in,

Maybe it's good to grow up.

。。。。。。。

Maybe, maybe, probably, yeah!

so.......
