Chapter 115 The Little Man Behind the Door
Chapter 115 The Little Man Behind the Door
The principal arranged for Jiang Wan to visit the students' homes as he happened to be teaching the class.
She felt that such parents were difficult to deal with, so she brought some gifts with her.
There is a saying that one's hands are short when taking others, and one's mouth is short when eating others.
Yu Qingtang recalled that this was indeed the case in the plot. Wang Baoyou was not only smart and studious, but he was also tenacious.
His parents didn't allow him to study, so he wanted to learn in various ways. Jiang Wan was the teacher who taught him for free.
When he grew up and became successful, he said in a news interview that the person he was most grateful to in his life was his teacher Jiang Wan.
"Host, there is more."
Jin Guagua suddenly said, "The hero in the food article has a favorite student named Wang Baoyou, who is a gifted child."
"Children with extraordinary abilities behave strangely when they are young. His parents thought he was stupid and did not allow him to go to school. Later, Qing Lan discovered his talent and brought him to study with her. He became a famous scientific researcher in later generations."
Yu Qingtang: "Another repeated role?"
This isn’t the first time she’s been involved in a recurring role.
Just like Song Chen, he is the male protagonist of Jiang Wan in the True and False Daughter of Gold novel, but in the novel with two male protagonists, he is a good friend of the two male protagonists and a supporting role with little emphasis.
This time, Wang Baoyou plays a supporting role in both the True and False Daughter of Gold article and the food article. Yu Qingtang suddenly thought of a possibility.
“Could he also be the protagonist of another book?”
“Whether it’s the setting of a gifted child or a dropout who is eager to learn but is blocked by his parents, both are very interesting character settings.”
Jin Guagua only said: "The host will know when he sees him."
Yu Qingtang and Jiang Yuanyuan said, "That student's parents sound difficult to deal with. I'll go with you."
Jiang Wan felt the same way, but didn't want to waste his friend's time.
"I plan to go after class in the afternoon, then his parents will be home from get off work."
By then, Yu Qingtang will have finished get off work and will be going home.
Yu Qingtang: "It would be fine if I came back with you, and I know the machinery factory better than you do. If his parents are unreasonable, they won't go too far if there's a colleague watching them."
"it is good."
In the afternoon, Yu Qingtang waited for Jiang Wan at the gate of the machinery factory.
Jiang Wan explained the situation to the old man guarding the gate and showed him the letter of introduction from the principal.
The gatekeeper glanced at the letter of introduction and put it on the table.
"Okay, go in."
After they left, he sighed helplessly.
"What a sin! Why don't you let the kid go to school again?"
"I have to talk to Xiao Zhao again."
Yu Qingtang also often came to the staff quarters to find Yun Shuangjiang. They worked in the same factory. Although she was a temporary worker, she was put in by Director Zhao, so many people knew her.
Yu Qingtang asked a few people and found the specific address of Wang Baoyou's home.
A co-worker asked her, "Why are you looking for his family?"
Yu Qingtang glanced at Jiang Wan, who introduced himself to others: "I am a teacher at the Commune Primary School. Wang Baoyou did not come to class yesterday and today. I came to his house to see what was going on."
When the workers first heard that Jiang Wan was a teacher at the commune primary school, they guessed why she came.
She also felt that the Wang family was unreasonable. Both parents in the family were working, and the younger daughter, who had graduated from junior high school, was now working as a temporary worker in a factory. The family was not short of money, so why didn't they let the younger son go to school?
"I'll take you there."
Yu Qingtang said gratefully: "Thank you, big sister."
The worker smiled cheerfully and generously: "We all work in the same factory, what is there to thank for?"
Jiang Wan was also very grateful to her. After arriving at Wang Baoyou's house, the worker was about to go home. Jiang Wan took out a dozen pine mushrooms from the ones she brought to Wang's house and gave them to her forcefully.
The worker refused to accept it, so Yu Qingtang advised him, "We found it on the mountain ourselves, it's not worth much."
The worker couldn't refuse and took them home happily. Even though there were only a few dozen of them, they made a big bowl of fried food.
Suddenly, one third of the fir mushrooms in my pocket were gone.
Most of the houses in the family compound are tube-shaped buildings. Yu Qingtang knocked on the door and it was Wang Baoyou's mother who opened it.
She saw Yu Qingtang and asked doubtfully: "Comrade Yu?"
Yu Qingtang moved aside, revealing Jiang Wan behind him.
"This is a teacher from the commune primary school."
Wang Baoyou's mother's face suddenly darkened.
Jiang Wan said, "I'm Wang Baoyou's homeroom teacher. He didn't come to class yesterday or today. Is he feeling unwell?"
Seeing that she did not persuade her to send the child to school as soon as she arrived, Wang Baoyou's mother's eyes flashed, opened the door and let the two of them in.
"Mr. Jiang is the new teacher, right?"
Jiang Wan said, "I came here last year, but I just took over Wang Baoyou's class this year."
Wang Baoyou's mother and her husband sat down on the sofa and went to the kitchen to pour some water.
Yu Qingtang observed the furnishings in the house and found that they were no different from those of other dual-income families of this era.
There is a wooden sofa, a checkered dining table, and a washing machine on the balcony at the corner.
There is a picture hanging on the wall, which shows a couple and three little girls.
Yu Qingtang's eyes paused slightly, but the three little girls in the photo were still young, perhaps the photo was taken before the youngest son was born.
Wang Baoyou's mother brought water to the two of them. Yu Qingtang didn't look around anymore and sat quietly listening to Jiang Wan talking to her.
Jiang Wanxian asked, "Is classmate Wang Baoyou not at home?"
Yu Qingtang saw that Wang Baoyou's mother was rubbing her knees subconsciously with her hands, and her face looked a little embarrassed.
"The child went out to play."
Jiang Wan pretended to be surprised: "He's not sick, so why doesn't he come to school?"
Wang Baoyou's mother seemed also very angry about her child's behavior.
"Teacher Jiang, you are new here, so you may not know that the child often doesn't go to school."
"The principal of your school and the leaders of the factory have come to our house to persuade him. We also want him to go to school, but he just likes to skip school. We have no choice but to let him do what he wants."
Nonsense!
These words popped up in Jiang Wan's mind.
With a smile on his face, he said in surprise: "Is that so? But he usually takes classes very seriously and studies very well."
Wang Baoyou's mother looked indignant: "He just likes to pretend to be a good person, making others think that it was me and his father who didn't allow him to study."
What parent would say that their child likes to pretend to be a good person?
Yu Qingtang couldn't bear to listen anymore and looked away.
The tube-shaped buildings in the family compound all have a uniform layout, with three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a large balcony.
Yu Qingtang found that the door of the innermost room was slightly open. She remembered that when they first came in, she saw at a glance that the door was closed.
It was as if a pair of eyes were staring at the living room through the small crack in the door.
Yu Qingtang called the system: "Jin Gua Gua, who is in there?"
