It's the students' fault if they are too popular.

On the weekend, Tong Yao went out to buy vegetables with a bag of tofu in her hand. She was caught by several reporters who wanted to interview her about what happened to Xia Zhi's father yesterday, but she turned them down one by one.

But her refusal did not reduce the heat of the incident, because several school leaders and even Xiao Zhang from the security department were very happy to be interviewed.

"I think it is very important to guarantee children's right to education. Even if it is not compulsory, parents should support it..." the pot-bellied principal said slowly in the video.

"He gave me the feeling that he was a bit unreasonable. Several of us had a lot of trouble to subdue him, but he was still cursing at the door and trying to break in..." Xiao Zhang seemed a bit shy in front of the camera.

The trending search #不让孩子的学校入学校抢人# was very popular, with an angry emoji at the end. The high level of discussion was due to the incident itself and the fact that Tong Yao, a person with a large number of fans, was involved.

There were many people present at the time, and many of them were recorded, covering every angle, and completely restoring the entire process.

"Is this dad a human being? It hurts just to see his hair being pulled."

"Maybe there's something hidden? It says that the family conditions are very poor, and going to high school is indeed stressful. There are still many people who find jobs after graduating from junior high school."

"Didn't you see that the man said he didn't give his daughter any money? And she didn't spend his money!"

"Luckily the teacher stopped me... The teacher is kind and nice, so great."

"Teacher Tong's words 'Try touching me' are so cool! I can do it!"

……

There were all kinds of comments, mostly from passers-by, followed by fans. Some people turned their fire to attack the school for not taking action, asking why the school didn't waive tuition fees and whether it must be a system problem. Others directly attacked men, with the map cannon covering the entire country.

Total chaos.

Since she couldn’t reply to private messages, she simply posted an update asking everyone not to disturb the students.

In the evening, her leader sent her a message, saying that Xia Zhi's tuition would be refunded and asked Tong Yao to pay it forward, and all future tuition would be waived.

This was the first good news she had heard in recent days.

The tuition for public schools is not much. The tuition for branch schools is 900 per semester. You can save 5400 in three years of high school, which is already a lot.

After arriving at school, she immediately informed Xia Zhi of the news.

Xia Zhi had not yet gotten over his father's incident, but after hearing that the tuition was waived, the burden on him was already lightened. However, he did not take the money handed over by Tong Yao, but instead whispered in a pleading tone:

"Teacher Tong, can you keep it for me? I don't have a bank card."

No cell phone, not even an ID card.

Tong Yao was stunned for a moment, then put the money back into her bag and smiled:

"Of course, you can always ask me for it if you need it."

"Thank you, teacher." The girl bowed slightly. When she was about to go back to the classroom, Tong Yao called her again.

"Teacher would like to give you a word."

She clasped her hands together, a little embarrassed about giving chicken soup, but very seriously:

“When a person is born, he is always accompanied by worries and troubles. He knows that he can do nothing about it and accepts it as his fate.”

She paused and said, "Xia Zhi, I know you are very strong and will not be defeated by these things. So, go and make your future what you want it to be."

Xia Zhi was stunned in place, and after a moment, she smiled as lightly as a jasmine flower:

"Well, I will."

The twelfth month of the lunar calendar is the severe winter.

On a cloudy afternoon, the Education Bureau conducted a surprise inspection of the physics teacher Xiang Yang's cram school - it was a small bungalow in a residential area, with more than a dozen students sitting in the small space, like a pyramid scheme. The Education Bureau was furious at the illegal cram school, and within a few days, it issued a document announcing the cancellation of Xiang Yang's senior teaching position and that he would not be allowed to return to his post within a year. Even the principal and the party secretary were criticized for failing to supervise.

This kind of thing often happens to students. I didn’t expect that the principal would also be criticized. The students were all amazed.

As for why they were investigated, some said it was because they were reported.

At least that's what Xiangyang said privately to other teachers, and he also said with certainty that it was Tong Yao who reported it.

The old teacher had some connections and acquaintances in the Education Bureau, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not find out any relevant information. Sometimes, the overly strict protection and blockade made those teachers believe that Tong Yao was related to this incident. After all, everyone knew that Tong Yao was an Internet celebrity, and she was also an Internet celebrity from a wealthy family. Other teachers did not have this kind of power.

After this incident, Tong Yao noticed that other teachers' attitudes towards her had slightly changed while she was in the office.

In the past, he treated her with a kind of fawning and flattery that was not too obvious, but now, the fawning and flattery turned into alienation and fear.

It changed from "there's no harm in pleasing her" to "just don't offend her".

Nursery rhymes cannot win people's hearts. She does not live like an internet celebrity or a second-generation rich, but like an ancient teacher.

She felt that this was fine since she couldn't fit in anyway and there was no need for all the pretense and flattery. This way she could be more comfortable and busy with her own things.

When she went to class, she met Xiangyang who had just packed up his office. When enemies met, they said nothing. Xiangyang snorted coldly and passed by her. Tong Yao did not feel much regret for getting rid of such a person's job. The school was short of teachers. After a year, reinstatement would not be a problem. Besides, he had made enough dirty money. Maybe in this year, he would find that the educational institution was more suitable for him - that would be better and he would never harm other students.

The new physics teacher took over in a hurry. All the students adapted well to the new physics teacher, but the new physics teacher did not. Conversations like "What, didn't the teacher tell you this before?" and "Didn't - tell you -" often occurred in the classroom.

In late December, Christmas arrived wrapped in the cold. Although the final exams were coming, the school atmosphere was festive. The students in the class had a lot of fun, hanging ribbons and balloons all over the classroom. Candies and greeting cards were the main theme of the day.

As the monitor, Xia Zhi's popularity in the class was not high or low, far behind the queen bee Song Zhifei and the head wolf Li Minghe, but she also received a few greeting cards. She washed the peace apple in her hand, and the cold water made the apple more crisp. This was given to everyone in the class by Teacher Tong yesterday. There was also a small note in the box, with words for each student, and everyone had an extra interest on Christmas - secretly looking at what Teacher Tong wrote to the guy next to him.

Xia Zhi took the note out of his pocket and opened it for the umpteenth time today.

There was a short line of words written on it:

"Life is like a reverse journey, and I am also a pedestrian."

She thought Teacher Tong’s handwriting was beautiful, and she even wanted to practice writing like that, correcting her habits every time she wrote.

She wrote a greeting card for Teacher Tong and when she delivered it to the office, she found that Teacher Tong was absent-minded, staring out the window in a daze.

"Teacher Tong?"

"Hmm?" Tong Yao came back to her senses, "Xia Zhi."

"This is a greeting card." The girl's face was slightly hot. "Thank you for taking care of me all the time."

"Greeting card? Thank you." Tong Yao took the card and smiled, "It's my pleasure."

Xia Zhi did not leave immediately. She carefully looked at Teacher Tong's face and asked in a low voice:

"Is Teacher Tong unhappy?"

"No," Tong Yao immediately perked up, "Where is it?"

"Oh, sorry." Xia Zhi covered his face and ran out of the office.

Tong Yao laughed, put the greeting card into the drawer and continued to be in a daze.

unhappy……

Is it because of lovesickness?

She opened her diary and turned to the National Day, where she wrote:

"On September 9, after a night of hard work, the key to the handcuffs disappeared. It was tragic."

"On October 10, I went to bed with Ruanruan."

"October 10, after the class reunion, in bed."

"On October 10, go to Ruan Ruan."

"October 10th, Tong Yao, you can't continue to degenerate!"

"On October 10, I went to bed with Ruanruan."

"July 10th..."

One look at the diary and you can tell that he is Hu Shi.

She thought silently that this diary must not be seen by others. If it was posted online as a joke, there would be no point for her to live as a human being.

Today is Saturday, and school is over in the afternoon. The shops at the school gate are all selling "jingle bells", and the fancy Christmas trees are strung with colorful small bulbs. She bought a Christmas hat, and when she got home and saw Dongyang, she put the hat on the little girl's head. The white pompom on the top is extremely cute.

"So cute." She complimented with a smile.

Dongyang smiled embarrassedly.

"Auntie."

"Um?"

"I love you."

"what?"

"The weekend homework is to say 'I love you' to mom and dad."

Dong Yang said this confidently, but her face still revealed her inner shyness.

"Ah, this... this homework is good." Tong Yao couldn't help laughing, thinking that it was a good thing that she didn't encounter this kind of homework when she was a child. Otherwise, with her personality, she would definitely be super shy and unable to say "I love you" to Jiang Wu at that time.

Chinese people are inherently introverted, and "love" is even more sacred in their eyes. When love is deep, it comes naturally. There is no need to learn from foreigners to say "I Love U" all the time.

But she was still very happy that Dongyang was willing to tell her.

She was cooking when Dongyang came over and asked:

"Will Ruan Xi come back on New Year's Day?"

"There are only three days off for New Year's Day, how can she come back?" She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Besides, we called today, her game will be launched on New Year's Day, so she's very busy."

"Oh..." Dongyang suddenly became frustrated.

Children need love and companionship, not necessarily from their parents, but from any important person. But she and Ruanruan were both very busy, and they had very little time to spend with Dongyang.

Tong Yao thought for a while and said, "How about your aunt accompany you to the amusement park on New Year's Day?"

The child's eyes suddenly became bright: "Really?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

So, Dongyang looked forward to the arrival of New Year's Day with great anticipation.

At this time, in the far north.

Ruan Qian stared at the computer all the time. As the server launch date approached, she became more and more nervous. The feedback from the forums and forums was very good, and the public beta period a few months ago also received rave reviews. Logically, this game should not be a failure, but she was still nervous.

How high can you reach?

The day before New Year's Day, she was so sleepy that she was drinking coffee while discussing things in the group.

Until she received a phone call - a phone call that made her extremely anxious.

On the phone, Dong Yang cried and said:

"My aunt is in the hospital."

She stood up immediately, spilling her coffee.

Chapter 165: New Year's Day

Before New Year’s Day, the final exams were imminent, but the school still kindly gave us three days off.

Tong Yao bought some snacks for Dong Yang and ate some herself when she got home. She didn’t make dinner and watched cartoons with the little girl.

"Haibara Ai is so awesome." Dongyang exclaimed while holding orange juice.

"Yeah." Tong Yao's voice was weak.

"Auntie," Dong Yang turned his head and looked at her, suddenly becoming nervous, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No," Tong Yao smiled softly, not wanting to spoil the child's fun, "I'm just a little tired."

Actually, I wasn’t feeling a little tired, but my stomach was a little uncomfortable.

Is it because of the snacks?

"Then go and have a rest, auntie." Dong Yang was even more nervous than her, "You don't have to accompany me."

"fine."

She felt bad for the child who was so well-behaved, and felt guilty when she thought that she could only sing nursery rhymes with her for a while during dinner every day.

She also understands why many teachers can't manage their own children. They are in school from morning to night, so they don't have time to spend with children.

She closed her eyes and leaned on the sofa. The discomfort in her stomach seemed to be more obvious. She thought it was bloating, so she took some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets. She finally made it to nine o'clock, when Dongyang went to bed. She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe lying down would be better, and then she went to bed to rest.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but the discomfort has really eased a little.

The night and her discomfort seemed to make her more fragile than usual. She took out her cell phone, hesitated, dialed a number, and answered it while hiding under the covers.
