Hearing this, we were all very angry.

It turned out that day, the five of them were called by Teacher Huang and criticized harshly. After they came back, they discussed how to deal with Teacher Yang.

That night, when Wang Fang and I left the classroom, they finally discussed the result and came up with a good idea to teach Teacher Yang a good lesson.

The good idea they thought of was to poke Teacher Yang with thumbtacks, because Teacher Yang liked to sit on their bed and always sat in that position.

So they came up with an idea and put the thumbtacks upside down under the sheets.

That day, Teacher Yang sat down and the thumbtack pierced her butt. She screamed in pain and her butt was bleeding.

When Teacher Yang returned to the office, Teacher Huang noticed something was wrong. After understanding the situation, he advised her to rest for a few days while he would handle the matter.

So Teacher Yang asked the five of them to go home and invite their parents. The parents of several children were in the busy farming season and were extremely busy at home. When they heard that their sons dared to tease the teacher, they were angry and hateful.

Several of them were originally going to be expelled, but unable to resist the repeated requests of several parents, Teacher Huang and the school leaders decided to give them a chance to correct their mistakes. Each of them was given a serious warning and publicly apologized to Teacher Yang.

At this time, Teacher Yang was surrounded by other teachers and walked to the front desk. The five naughty kids turned around and bowed deeply to Teacher Yang to express their apologies.

Originally, Teacher Huang asked them to read the self-criticisms they wrote in front of all the teachers and students in the school, but Teacher Yang pleaded for them, saying that they were all young men of fourteen or fifteen years old, so he should give them some face.

Of course, we only found out about this later.

I think Teacher Yang is a kind person. The school focuses on education, not on punishing students.

Just like that, Teacher Yang returned to the classroom to teach us even though his injury had not yet healed. Now the English class became much quieter.

The moment Teacher Yang walked into the classroom, we all stood up in unison and respectfully shouted "Hello, Teacher Yang". This was what our whole class had agreed on.

Teacher Yang was surprised, but responded politely, "Hello, students."

The learning atmosphere is also much better than before.

Soon another week ended. When I got home from school on Saturday, my grandma had already prepared dinner and was standing at the door looking out.

I quickened my pace and ran to my grandma.

"Grandma, I'm back!"

"Hey, Feng'er, are you hungry?"

Grandma helped me take off my schoolbag with a smile on her face.

"Grandma, why are there still fish today?"

Because of the severe drought this year, our family hasn’t eaten fresh fish for a long time. Occasionally, grandma would take out the dried fish that was pickled last year and fry a few.

In this area, people would pickle the fish they caught in the river with salt if they couldn't finish eating them, and then eat them when there was no more food.

Because there were no refrigerators at that time, most of the pickled vegetables were quite salty and had to be soaked in water for a long time before eating to remove the excess saltiness.

Moreover, pickled fish can only be made in winter because it is not possible in other seasons, especially in summer. The fish will go bad before it is even taken out to dry.

"I went fishing in the river today. Luckily there were some black fish. I only caught some small fish. I took them to the town to sell in the afternoon. The price was quite high."

Grandma seemed a little excited.

Although it is a small fish, it is inevitable that the price is high. Scarcity makes things valuable. No one has tasted fish for several months.

"I left a few for you, eat them quickly!"

Grandma put the fish into my bowl, and I picked one for her too.

The grandparents and grandchildren were eating happily.

"By the way, Feng'er, when I was coming back from selling fish in town today, I ran into Deputy Mayor Wang."

While eating, grandma told me what happened in town today.

It turned out that after selling the fish, grandma happily counted the money and walked back carrying the bucket.

I actually met Mayor Wang at the gate of the town government, who was just about to go out to do some business.

The town government is located at the entrance of the town, next to the Baxian Bridge. When my grandmother returns home from the vegetable market, she has to pass by the entrance of the town government.

"Master Xu, you are in town."

Mayor Wang greeted grandma warmly. He did not show any arrogance of an official at all. Instead, he was very respectful to grandma.

"Oh, Mayor Wang, I'm here to sell fish in town," Grandma replied.

"Oh, you are so old, and you still work so hard!"

In fact, Mayor Wang should know the situation of my family and expressed his concern for my grandmother.

"It's okay, I'm still in good health." said grandma.

"By the way, where is Liu Feng? Last time, it was all thanks to her. She is really amazing. She said that if the soil is moved away, it will rain, and it really rained. You don't even know. I told the city leaders about it, and they were all amazed."

Mayor Wang continued to chat, his expression of disbelief beyond words.

"Maybe it's a coincidence. This kid is just a little smart and careful."

My grandma just replied weakly. In fact, in her heart, I was just an ordinary child.

Besides, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being fat. She probably doesn't want me to bear too much responsibility and live a peaceful life.

"Then we must train him well. By the way, which school does Liu Feng study in?" Wang Shi asked again.

"She is in the second grade of junior high school in our Sanxiang Middle School." Grandma continued to answer.

"Oh, I heard that the teaching quality of Sanxiang Middle School is not very good. Why didn't you think of sending her to the town to study?"

Wang Shi sighed.

Indeed, Wang Erming also told me at that time that the teaching quality of Houhu Middle School in the town was better, but when I thought that students in the first grade of Houhu Middle School would have to live on campus, I gave up.

"I've heard about it too. The child himself said that he was studying at Sanxiang Middle School. Besides, people from our Sanxiang Township who want to study in the town need to have connections and get some kind of certificate before they can study there," said the grandmother.

"What connections are you looking for? I have connections. I like Liu Feng. Go back and talk to her. If she is willing to go to the town to study, I will help her with all the formalities."

"Come and study next semester. There's still a year and a half left. It's not too late. You can take the provincial technical secondary school entrance exam in the future. Once you're assigned a job, you won't have to work so hard."

Mayor Wang expressed his thoughts in one breath. He was also thinking about me and my grandmother.

Grandma paused, thoughtfully.

"Master Xu, think about it carefully and go back to discuss it with Liu Feng. Don't worry, I know your family situation. If she goes to school in town, I will still waive her tuition."

He was afraid that his grandmother was worried about the tuition fees, so he continued.

"That's great. I'll thank Mayor Wang on behalf of my Feng'er. I'll go back and discuss it with her."

Grandma finally smiled. In fact, she was not worried about the tuition fees, but was afraid that I would not agree to transfer schools midway.

"Okay, Master Xu, I'll go do some work first. You and Liu Feng will come to my office when you've made up your mind."

After saying this, he left in a hurry.

Grandma was thinking about this problem all the way and will discuss it with me when I come back.
