Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 521 Education
The little commander went home for dinner at about time. Tang Zhitong and Xiao Wang didn't get to see him being beaten until they said goodbye, which was quite a pity.

"Let's go buy you a Chinese-English dictionary." After coming out of Chunshu Hutong, Xiao Wang took Tang Zhitong to walk along Wangfujing Street, where there was a bookstore that was quite large and had a relatively complete range of books.

"Is it necessary?" Tang Zhitong didn't want to spend the money because he already knew how to do it. After so many years, he couldn't say that he could still pass the Level 6 exam, but at least he had the level of Level 4.

"Of course it is necessary. With just that little bit in Fengzhen's textbook, when will you be able to understand the literature?" Classmate Xiao Wang was almost wearing small leather boots and holding a small whip to whip Tang Zhitong from behind.

"Okay, you have the final say." Tang Zhitong obediently followed him as he walked towards Wangfujing Street. Just buy it. There are benefits to buying it. As long as you translate diligently, you can learn English a little faster and have a bigger vocabulary. That's reasonable, right?

Wangfujing Street is very prosperous. Even though the weather is cold, there are still people queuing outside restaurants for dinner. However, there are fewer people in tattered clothes.

Xinhua Bookstore is not far from Wangfujing Department Store, which is still bustling with people. In addition to those walking and riding bicycles, there are also consumers coming in cars.

There are differences among the masses. People like Tang Zhitong can only shop on the first, second and third floors, while they can go to the fourth floor.

The fourth floor is the business outlet of No. 34 in the department store. The items there are not only more exquisite but also of better quality.

In fact, the people of the city of Sijiu still have complaints about this kind of differential treatment. Aren't people equal? ​​Why don't you let us in? If you don't want us to go in, then don't let us in. You are providing food and drink for the people of Gongdelin at No. 34, and you are so picky about the food? !

Whenever he heard such words, Tang Zhitong just smiled and did not agree with them.

You look so ignorant. Where are you going now?

As time goes by, this unit will gradually take responsibility for the supply of raw materials for the canteens of more sister units.

Not only did the public have strong opinions about this situation, but the one who was buried in Komsomolsk-on-Amur also pushed for its cancellation, and the result is obvious.

But one thing is worth affirming, the quality of the food they provide is good, so good that if you are used to eating in the cafeteria, your stomach will not be able to adapt to eating in restaurants outside.

Tsk, so f*cking delicate!
"Comrade, do you have a barefoot doctor manual?" After entering the bookstore, Xiao Wang did not look for a Chinese-English dictionary first, but instead asked about the book that her husband had helped to write.

"You're late, it's sold out." The salesperson replied regretfully.

"Really? That's great!" When Xiao Wang heard that it was such a best-seller, she immediately laughed and looked at her husband with more admiration in her eyes.

The salesperson looked at Xiao Wang differently: This girl is quite pretty, but is there something wrong with her brain?

The salesperson looked at Tang Zhitong again, with a mixture of pity and contempt: Marrying a silly woman, life must be hard, right? Pah! Who would marry a silly woman? He must be greedy for her body, so cheap!
Tang Zhitong didn't feel much about it. It was sold out, so he wouldn't get a penny more in royalties anyway.

After smiling at Xiao Wang as a response, Tang Zhitong asked the salesperson, "Comrade, where is the Chinese-English dictionary?"

"Go up to the second floor, turn left, and on the right, there is a clue on the bookshelf." After the salesperson said this, he ignored the two people and went to answer questions for other people.

With someone's guidance, the two of them quickly found the dictionary. There were not only dictionaries here, but also many foreign language books, mostly novels.

"Take a dictionary this time. I'll borrow a few books from my workplace for you later. You can read and check as you go, so you can learn faster." Student Wang took out a dictionary from the bookshelf, looked it over carefully to make sure it was not bumped, and then roughly flipped through the pages to see if there were any missing or folded pages.

"Yeah, okay." Tang Zhitong had no objection. He glanced at the people standing in front of the bookshelf looking for books and silently counted their number. It was quite a lot.

After the Internet became popular, Tang Zhitong saw a saying: After the storm, anyone who learned a foreign language was treated like this and like that.

Tang Zhitong thought this was nonsense. You have to know that nowadays, people take dealings with foreign countries very seriously. Even when going abroad, one needs special clothes and a letter of introduction to go to Hongdu to make clothes.

In such an environment, there must be people who can speak foreign languages. The reason why they are treated in such and such a way is probably that speaking foreign languages ​​is just an excuse.

After her daughter and son-in-law left, Ye Zhijuan called her son, who wanted to go out and continue playing, "Jingmin, come here."

"What's wrong, Mom? I have finished my homework and I still want to go out and play." Wang Jingmin was still thinking about his sled and about speeding at lightning speed and commanding "millions of soldiers".

"Your sister told me that you just sat there and let others pull the sled. Do you think that was the right thing to do?" Ye Zhijuan pointed in front of her and asked her son to stand up.

"..." Wang Jingmin opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and then said: "No."

"If you know it's wrong, why do you do it?"

"I've told you this before. The reason your father and I joined the revolution was because we were oppressed too harshly at the time. We wanted to join the revolution to change the future for the people and let them no longer have to live that kind of life. By doing this, aren't you going back to the way things were?" Seeing that her son didn't say anything, Ye Zhijuan continued to educate him.

Wang Jingmin didn't dare to talk back. He poked the ground with his toes and kept twisting them.

Although I didn't dare to say it, I still felt unconvinced in my heart. How could it be considered oppression just because of a few trips?
"I know you're not convinced, but 'don't do evil no matter how small it is' and 'a thousand-mile dam collapses because of an ant hole'. Today you dare to ask others to pull you a few more times, tomorrow you dare to accept others' things, and the day after tomorrow you dare to ask others for things directly!

Those little thugs who bullied you were almost the same as you are today before they bullied you!
Think about it carefully.

Stand in front of your father's photo for half an hour!" Ye Zhijuan pointed out a clear path for her son with a stern face and a calm voice.

Wang Jingmin did not dare to disobey, so he stood there obediently, lowered his head, and did not dare to look up.

If preaching worked, Ye Zhijuan would not use force. She would feel bad if it hurt, but it would be useless if it didn't hurt.

Ye Zhijuan believes that educating children is similar to nuclear deterrence. The stick is most deterrent before it falls. After it falls, the scar will heal and the pain will be forgotten.

Once a child is hit for the first time, sooner or later he will feel that it is not that great. Even if he continues to be hit hard, the effect will be worse each time.

You could hear a pin drop in the room. Jingying sat obediently at the desk reading a book, not daring to make a sound.

Half an hour later, Ye Zhijuan called Wang Jingmin over and said, "Write 'Don't commit evil even if it's small' and 'A thousand-mile dam collapses because of an ant hole' ten times each. Write carefully. Look up the words in the dictionary if you don't know how to write them. Jingying, supervise me."

"Okay, Mom." Wang Jingying agreed obediently and watched Jingmin do his homework.

When Tang Zhitong and Xiao Wang returned home after buying the dictionary, Fengzhen and Fengzhi were already at home.

"Brother! Sister-in-law! Someone stole our sled!" After seeing the two, Fengzhi dropped Beibei and ran over to complain. Beibei then ran under the bed to avoid the little devil.

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhitong first looked at the two sisters. Their hair was not messy, and there were no bruises or scars on their faces. "Really? Did you give it to them?"

"Well, there are only four of them, not much taller than me. I wanted to fight them, but my sister disagreed." Feng Zhi waved her fist to show that she had the power, while also expressing her dissatisfaction with her sister.

"Our mother wanted to go to them to seek justice, but I stopped her." Feng Zhen was reading a book. After hearing her sister's complaint, she spoke calmly to Tang Zhitong.

"You did the right thing. Tell me what happened." Tang Zhitong handed the scarf, hat and gloves to Xiao Wang, took two stools and asked the two sisters to sit down.

“After you and your sister-in-law left, we played for a short while before they came over and asked if they could play together, but I didn’t agree.

Then they surrounded Fengzhi and me. I tried to drive them away, but they refused to leave and just kept laughing. I pulled Fengzhi away, but they stretched out their arms to stop us, saying they would help me pull and wouldn't let us go.

I had no choice but to think about what you said, so I left the sled there and pulled Fengzhi back. They didn't stop me. " When she said she stretched out her arms to stop them, Fengzhen blushed a little. The girl was older and thought too much.

"Well, you did a good job." Tang Zhitong once again agreed with Feng Zhen's approach.

At present, even junior high schools and high schools are divided into boys' and girls' schools. Although the country has been advocating to improve the status of women, the barriers between men and women cannot be eliminated in a day or two.

It was true that those boys wanted to play sledding, but Tang Zhitong didn't quite believe that they had the intention to tease Feng Zhen. This was not the era when people could get enough nutrition and grow to be 1.78 meters tall at the age of twelve or thirteen. Nowadays, boys and girls may not have grown much hair at the age of twelve or thirteen, and it would take them a long time to fall in love.

"Fengzhi, you think your sister's behavior is a bit shameful, right?" Tang Zhitong did not criticize his sister. He smiled calmly, as if he was chatting with a friend on an equal footing.

"...I just feel that I have learned from my sister-in-law for a long time, but if this is the case, then all my efforts have been in vain." Feng Zhi said a little embarrassedly.

“Haha, you have to know that your sister-in-law taught you these things not to make you fight, but to enable you to better protect yourself when you have no choice.

Your sister did a great job today. She did it not because she was afraid, but because she wanted to better protect you, do you understand?
Because they just wanted to grab the sled to play with, not to do anything, so they just gave in, and I'll go back to find them." Tang Zhitong praised Fengzhen for being able to analyze and use her brain when encountering problems.

Seeing that Fengzhi still didn't understand, Tang Zhitong said, "Someone has provoked you, you are right, and you know you can win the fight and you won't get hurt, so just fight, and I will help you deal with it later.

If you encounter someone who is obviously stronger than you, who robs you of your money, your food, your food coupons, scolds you, or provokes you, you must not get carried away and start a fight. You must be patient and avoid this situation.

If you are given something, just give it to you. If you are scolded, just scold you. As long as they let you go and you are safe, that's enough.

They may be barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes, but we are different, because our family is waiting for you to come back safely. This is called the principle of concession for the happy, which is also the old saying that porcelain should not touch tiles. "

Feng Zhen understood and nodded. Feng Zhi also understood but still had doubts. She muttered, "Isn't this too cowardly?"

"You're right, I am a bit cowardly. You know what coward is, right?" Tang Zhitong stretched out his finger to dip it in the water of the cup, and then wrote the word "cowardly" on the table.

Fengzhen naturally knew it, but Fengzhi had not yet learned this word.

"Fengzhi, this is the word 'shun' that you said, what's above 'heart'?" Tang Zhitong asked, pointing at the words on the table.

"From!" Feng Zhi knew this person and answered promptly and confidently.

"Yes, from. Is this word 'from' composed of two 'people' characters?" Tang Zhitong wrote 'from' again and asked as he wrote.

"Yes, two people." Feng Zhi nodded in confirmation, looking like "I am well-educated, not a three-year-old child."

"Now you know why you are scared, right? Because the person who is scared has someone he cares about in his heart." After Tang Zhitong said this, he touched Fengzhi's little head.

Feng Zhen was thoughtful about what Tang Zhitong said, but Feng Zhi still needed some time to understand. She didn't understand why someone who had something on his mind would be so cowardly.

"Fengzhen, do you know who is the person who stole your car?" Tang Zhitong asked after educating his sister.

"The leader has a cleft lip, and I heard others call him Wang Big Ear." Although Feng Zhen gave in at the time, she was careful and took note of the name.

"Okay, I got it. Just focus on doing your homework." Tang Zhitong raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was four o'clock in the afternoon. He should wait a little longer and go over when both parents are at home. This way, the effect will be better.

Tang Zhitong had heard of Wang Big Ears, but his ears were not big. Big Ears was just a nickname. He was a little clever.

Because of his cleft lip, everyone called him Wang Tuzi. Rabbit is not a good name in Beijing. Except for the Rabbit God during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is mostly a derogatory name at other times.

He thinks it sounds unpleasant and doesn't want others to call him that, but how could others listen to it?
In order to prevent others from calling him Wang the Rabbit, he thought about giving himself a nickname. After choosing for a long time, he chose Wang Big Ears and told others that Liu Bei had long ears and was blessed.

When others heard about it, they laughed at him, saying that rabbit ears are also long.

Maybe the fact that he gave himself a nickname could arouse more interest among others, so the nickname spread.

Even after the Tang family finished their meal, Wang Da'erduo and the others still didn't come over to return the sled. Tang Zhitong said something to his family and went east with a flashlight to look for someone.

Although it's not teasing, it's not okay to surround your sister and try to steal the sled!

There is an unwritten rule among little boys: don’t tell your parents or teachers if you lose a fight, but Fengzhen and Fengzhi are not boys and don’t care about these ridiculous rules.

Wang Big Ear's nickname was very famous, and Tang Zhitong found out his home address without much effort.

After knocking on the door and explaining his purpose, Wang Daerduo's father got angry when he saw his son's evasive behavior. He picked up a broom and started fighting: "You've grown wings and become bold, right? You dare to stop a girl and steal her things? I'll beat you to death today!"

Wang Da'erduo's screams attracted many neighbors, who were originally planning to try to persuade him, but when they heard the whole story, they immediately became linguistic giants: "That's enough, he's still a child", and then stood aside and watched the fun with peace of mind.

Tang Zhitong felt that "he was still a child" was not a reason for doing evil, nor was it an excuse to evade punishment afterwards.

Although this matter does not meet the standards for admission to a juvenile detention center, it can still serve as a lesson for them. As the saying goes, a tree will not grow straight if it is not pruned, and this is for their own good.

"You take a break first. I need to ask Big Ears who those three are. And where is my sled?" Tang Zhitong asked after the fight was almost over.

Wang Da'erduo's father was very nice. He grabbed Wang Da'erduo's little ear and asked him to reply to Tang Zhitong.

While sobbing, Wang Da'erduo sold out all his friends and revealed the location of the sled. They were afraid of getting beaten when they got home, so they stayed up until dark and hid the sled in a snow pile at the entrance of the alley outside.

My goodness, not only are they all children from this yard, but they also planned it and hid the stolen goods. The neighbors who were watching the fun were also worried. One person could be said to be just being naughty, but four of them became a gang, so the nature of the situation changed!

As mentioned earlier, the streets now select many security guards in each alley to assist in resolving conflicts. For courtyards that have performed well throughout the year, the security guards will report to the streets to apply for a "Five Good Courtyard" and give each household two taels of oil coupons.

Now that the Spring Festival is approaching and the oil coupons are about to be issued, something like this happens. It seems that a group of little robbers have appeared in my yard?

Now it was lively. The other three families also started beating their children. The screams were uneven in tone, but they were connected and one after another, almost like a symphony.

Not only did no one try to persuade them, some even fanned the flames: "Oh my god, our fuel coupons were only a few days away, how come they disappeared?"

Tang Zhitong watched coldly from the side without getting involved, allowing their fathers to educate their children.

After fighting for a while, Tang Zhitong pulled the security guard and, in the presence of some neighbors, dug his sled out of the snow pile at the entrance of the alley and left.

Even after walking a long way away, Tang Zhitong could still hear the crying of those children.

Life is a long journey and education is crucial. I hope they can learn from their mistakes and avoid taking detours.
