Please take your hat off
(Novel)
Text/Shi Qinghua
In the large conference room of Lianghe Middle School, the teachers who arrived on time sat in the designated positions. Some leaned on the table and dozed off, some read newspapers and played with mobile phones, and some stilted their legs, blowing and laughing with each other. In the huge conference room, the crowd is full of people and lively.
"Teachers, please be quiet. Today, there is a faculty meeting before the holiday. Principal Wei shouted with his voice raised.
The giggling teachers gradually quieted down, put away their smiling faces, and hid their voices.
Despite this, the muttering and twittering are still endless. Because the principal seems to have made a wordless rule with his actions: to notify the meeting time and the official meeting time, wait at least thirty minutes. It's the official meeting, and it's okay to be 30 minutes late.
At every faculty meeting, President Wei is the protagonist of course. Those who can speak for an hour or two will never speak for only one or twenty minutes. As for what was said, the teachers didn't listen to it, and it didn't seem to have much to do with them. There are small one, two, three, and one bracket one, two, three, and one hundred and twenty-three. But there are also good people who have made rough estimates: a few hundred in the short term, and tens of thousands in the long term. Some people joked that Principal Wei's mathematics was taught by Xiucai in the past, and when he was taught at three o'clock, he "got it, got it." "It seems that if there is no lack of talent, it will not be possible to show the talent of the principal, and it also makes people underestimate the great role of the principal.
Say it loudly on stage, whisper it off stage. You say I say everyone says, you go in and I go out, you can go in and out. Someone advised Principal Wei to rectify the style of the meeting, and after rectifying it several times, it had little effect, so he had to let it go. Hello everyone, let's say goodbye, so as not to hurt the peace.
As for the character education of students, that is a matter for the experts to discuss. The quality of their grades is the business of the teachers. Upload and distribute it yourself, and you can keep it from making a big mess. Such a big school, and it is in the development zone, it can't be crossed in three years and five years. At that point, he may have retired. What's wrong with being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day?
The south wind outside the window blew into the conference room on the fifth floor, which was cool and crisp, and everyone said, how comfortable it was to be free!
Forty minutes had passed since the announcement of the meeting, and President Wei brought the attendance book, took a sip of tea, coughed lightly, and took attendance in person.
"If you haven't arrived yet, check it again, Teacher Xu Yuan."
"Here we are."
"Teacher Long Kaiming."
"Hmm."
"Teacher Tieying."
"To, to, to." Like a kiss of wind chimes, he flew from the stairwell into the conference room. Everyone turned back as if they were ordered, and warmly applauded Teacher Tie.
Pink dresses fluttered in with the sound. God's Venus, no matter what clothes he wears, is so appropriate and decent. Elizabeth's light blue hat is unique. The brim of the hat is ruffled, the right side is turned up, and a few strands of black hair are exposed, caressing the slightly reddened goose egg face. To the left of the hat is a delicate little white flower. It was a little blue in the red bushes, a little white in the blue ocean, it was a whole new world.
"Pap", "Pap", "Pap", warm applause rang out again. The high-ranking Principal Wei frowned: Lao Tzu, as the head of a school, has never received such courtesy. It seems that it has to be rectified, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he still didn't "set off the gun".
The slightly rising Nanyang wind quietly lifted the pink skirt and showed people the long white legs.
Teacher Tie Ying waved his hand: "I'm sorry, teachers, I'm not late." ”
"Nope." In unison, there was another round of applause.
Teacher Tie Ying walked to the rostrum. When the seat in front of the rostrum was about to take a seat, he found that President Wei on the rostrum looked embarrassed.
Oops, it's a bit of a hub. What do you have to say to the principal, what is the right thing to say? Before he could think about it very much, Principal Wei, who had thought it through, had already "fired".
"Teacher Tieying, please take off your hat." Crisp, coarse, non-negotiable, with a serious expression. The principal changed the playful smile of the peacemaker in the past, but the teachers did not know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd. The venue was silent.
Silence, short silence.
"May I ask Principal Wei, why did I take my hat off?"
Teacher Tie thought, why did you make fun of me, I didn't do anything wrong. If you find fault, the old lady is not easy to mess with.
"You are a teacher, you have to pay attention to your image." Principal Wei thought that teachers should be role models, and their clothes should be the same as ordinary people-popular. If it's all black, you have to be black and not autumn to get along with everyone. It's too trendy, and there is a distance from everyone. Especially the beautiful female teacher, dressed up in a fancy way, is even more coquettish, which will damage the teacher's image.
"Hey, Principal Wei, the teacher is a human being, not a god. Why didn't I pay attention to the image? Abide by the law, love and dedication, care about students, and complete tasks with quality and quantity. What's so bad about the image? ”
Principal Wei shouldn't have taken the opportunity to take revenge.
It was one day in the early summer of last year, and at almost eleven o'clock in the morning, a few classmates came. Go to the restaurant to eat twenty minutes in advance. While waiting before the meal, I played mahjong. When the principal saw us, he said sternly: "During working hours, you can't play mahjong, so stop quickly." Although it is reasonable, it makes me very faceless and embarrassed. The dog jumped off the wall when he was in a hurry.
So he stood up abruptly and retorted mercilessly: "Wei Qian, you didn't play mahjong during working hours last time. ”
"That's what the job requires."
Originally, I just wanted to get angry and fight back a little face. I didn't expect Wei Qian, who was good at making mud, so serious. It's about bullying yourself for being young. As the saying goes, "People are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden." "Can't let him look flat. So Yong rose from his heart, and words came out of his mouth. Told the secret that everyone knows but does not say: "Do you also need to prostitute women?" ”
Perhaps, from now on, I will hold a grudge and linger.
"I'm not talking about your job not doing a good job, it's about how you dress." Principal Wei is not used to seeing the teacher dressed in an avant-garde manner, so he talked about it to attract everyone's attention. I didn't expect that this iron teacher would have to fight for right and wrong, but it was not easy to deal with.
"What's wrong with my dress, what's inappropriate, what's not legal?" It's like a cannon, and it's overwhelming.
"I don't like your hat."
Former Principal Wei was angry and loud.
Teacher Tie Ying was also angry: "You can't get used to the hat I wear, so ask me to take it off." If you don't like what I'm wearing, tell me to take it off? ”
Former Principal Wei was speechless.
