Chapter 890: Howling under the stick
"Teacher Xiaolin, tell me, what has this brat done wrong?" Yuan Tai's mother Martin had a ferocious look on her face, and the flesh on her face was torn into two wrinkles. She pulled out the branch behind her and said, "I'm going to beat this brat to death!"
Yuan Tai was already confused, and with Martin's convincing acting, he couldn't remember that this wasn't his real mother. He thought he was really going to be beaten to death, with a look of horror on his face.
Yuan Tai's horrified expression also successfully infected Teacher Xiao Lin. The young teacher was startled and hurriedly stopped Martin, saying, "Yuan Tai's mother, please don't worry. I didn't call you here today because Yuan Tai got into trouble."
While comforting him, Teacher Kobayashi took the branch that Martin was holding in his hand to ask for forgiveness, and took a look: Isn't this a cherry blossom branch?
There are quite a few of them planted in the school. Teacher Kobayashi likes cherry blossoms and is very familiar with them. He can even recognize a bare branch.
I don’t know where Yuantai’s mother picked these branches from. It’s a bit of a pity. They will probably sprout and grow flower buds in a few days.
Teacher Kobayashi has been looking at the cherry trees these days and is looking forward to their blooming.
Yuan Tai at the back sniffed: So it’s because I got into trouble?
Then Mr. Kobayashi got down to business: "Actually, Yuantai and several other kids in the class formed a young detective team. You should be aware of this, right?"
"Oh, forming a clique for personal gain and uniting against those who are different, right?"
Martin looked back at Yuantai, his sixteen fingers crackling against each other, and it seemed that Yuantai was in trouble again.
However, Yuan Tai didn't realize that Martin's two idioms were derogatory, and thought that the male mother was dissatisfied with her own performance, so she emphasized: "I am the leader of the group."
"You are still the party leader!" Martin changed the number of his fingers back without leaving a trace, and looked even angrier: "I will beat you to death--"
"Wait a minute, Yuanta's mom!" Teacher Kobayashi was already starting to get scared: "The Junior Detective Team has done a lot of good things since its establishment, helping a lot of people. There are even thank-you letters sent to the school! Yuanta is doing good things!"
Although there are many things that deserve criticism, such as taking risks, the priority now is to save people from Yuantai's mother, so Teacher Kobayashi only talks about the good points, even if it means going against his conscience: "As the captain, Yuantai not only unites and cares for the team members well, but also infects the students with his bravery and leads everyone to solve many puzzles."
Even Mr. Kobayashi could see that the only one in the team who was doing the decryption was Edogawa, the one who took care of the team members was Haibara, and the one who could unite them was Yoshida.
"Oh..." Martin finally lowered his head, his expression calmed down, and he patted Yuan Tai on the shoulder: "You are such a good son to your mother."
"Hehe..." Yuan Tai was happy for a few seconds, but suddenly realized that this was a fake mother and became depressed again.
When Teacher Kobayashi saw that Yuantai's mother had finally calmed down, he breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the thermos and drank a sip of water.
Then she placed the thermos next to her own thermos and prepared to tell her the main purpose of looking for Yuan Tai's mother.
Wait, what's that next to the cup?
Teacher Kobayashi turned his head back quickly, but there was only a thermos and a paper cup prepared for Yuan Tai's mother on the desk, as if the two thermos cups he just saw were just an illusion.
Are you dazzled? Teacher Kobayashi rubbed his eyes, as if he had been having similar hallucinations for some time. Either the door of the classroom disappeared, or the number of students in the class doubled, or chalk heads would pour out of the box like a fountain.
Is it because you are too tired from work or too much pressure in your heart?
The answer is that Ma Wu, who was hiding aside wearing an invisibility cloak, was too bored and started looking around, focusing his attention randomly on anything.
"Teacher Kobayashi?" Martin acted as if he didn't notice anything unusual. He pulled the ceiling above his head back to its normal height and used a puzzled tone to wake up Teacher Kobayashi who had suddenly lost his concentration.
"Sorry, I was a little distracted. The main reason I asked you to come this time is because of the active performance of the Junior Detective Team. Last week, a freelance writer contacted me and wanted to write a special interview for the Junior Detective Team." Teacher Kobayashi got down to business: "In layman's terms, a reporter contacted me and hoped to interview the children and publish the article in the newspaper."
"Really!" Yuan Tai's eyes widened with excitement. Being interviewed and appearing in newspapers, doesn't this mean becoming famous?
The three little ones’ biggest dream is to find treasure and make a fortune, and their second biggest dream is to become famous.
Although they almost appeared on TV last time when they helped Suzuki Jirokichi catch the Kaito Kid, the signal source was lost because Martin opened the lock in advance and Kid cut off the power supply, so the TV station changed to broadcast other programs on the spot. The show that started well but ended badly was not discussed, and the three little ones did not leave any impression on the audience.
Great! I'm going to be famous! My mom will be very happy and praise me when she finds out, right? I can make eel rice! Oh my...
Yuan Tai suddenly regretted it. If he had honestly called his mother to school, wouldn't his mother know that the teacher praised him? In fact, he shouldn't have asked his adoptive father for help.
Is it too late to regret now and explain the truth to the teacher?
"We can't just let the children make the decision on their own. We need to ask the parents for their opinions." Teacher Kobayashi continued, "I should have asked you over the phone, but for some reason the number in the parent contact book has not been dialed, so I had to ask Yuantai to ask you to come to school." In fact, Teacher Kobayashi told Yuantai at the time, "I want to ask your mother about something." But Yuantai's mind went blank when he heard that he had to find the parents, and he didn't hear what Teacher Kobayashi said afterwards.
"If you have changed your cell phone number, why not take this opportunity to update the parent contact book?" Teacher Kobayashi took out the contact book and showed Martin the phone number of Yuan Tai's mother.
Martin turned his head and looked at Yuan Tai: "Did I change my number?"
Teacher Xiaolin: You don’t know? Do you need to ask Yuantai?
……
Regarding the interview, Martin nodded directly on behalf of Yuan Tai's mother. If nothing unexpected happened, the reporter who dared to interview the Junior Detective Team would definitely get into trouble. If he didn't kill someone, then he would be killed by someone else.
After finishing the interview, Teacher Kobayashi started to say "but" - this is a little trick in communicating with parents: before pointing out the child's shortcomings, first affirm the child's strengths.
"Yuanta is a good kid, but he still has some shortcomings that can be corrected, such as not completing his homework seriously enough..."
For fear that Yuantai’s mother would suddenly get angry and beat the child again, Teacher Kobayashi slowly and tactfully pointed out Yuantai’s shortcomings while observing Yuantai’s mother’s reaction. If she saw something wrong with her expression, he would immediately change the subject.
However, this time Yuan Tai's mother was very stable. She looked at Teacher Kobayashi with a smile on her face and nodded from time to time as Teacher Kobayashi spoke, indicating that she was listening carefully.
When Teacher Kobayashi had finished pointing out all the shortcomings and was about to say something like thanking the parents for their continued support of the school's work, Martin suddenly turned around and turned towards Yuantai. He raised his right hand and picked up a large rolling pin: "I'm going to beat you to death!"
"Wow!" Yuantai had no doubt that Martin would really hit him. He was immediately scared and even hid behind Teacher Kobayashi.
There was no time to wonder where Yuan Tai's mother got the rolling pin from. Teacher Kobayashi opened her arms to protect Yuan Tai as if she was playing a game of eagle and chicken: "Calm down, Yuan Tai's mother, in principle we do not advocate the use of corporal punishment to educate children!"
"Not advocating it in principle means we don't object to it if it really happens, right?" Martin was still sharpening his knife.
"What if you hurt the child?" Teacher Kobayashi advised earnestly.
"That's right." Martin was actually persuaded by Teacher Xiaolin. He thought for a while and nodded: "Indeed, we should let professionals do it."
Are there professionals who can beat children? When Teacher Xiaolin was wondering, Yuan Tai's mother in front of her pulled her hand and handed the rolling pin to her: "Please, Teacher Xiaolin."
Are you referring to me as a professional? Teacher Xiaolin was about to deny it, but Yuan Tai's mother put a pair of big, generous hands on her shoulders and said back, "It doesn't matter. As Yuan Tai's mother, I formally entrust you, Teacher Xiaolin: If Yuan Tai doesn't perform well in school, Teacher Xiaolin, you have the right to beat him up!"
"Ah?" Yuan was so dumbfounded that his nose started running.
Just when Teacher Kobayashi was about to deny that such a thing happened, he suddenly found that Yuantai's mother was constantly winking at him.
Eh? Isn't Yuantai's mother furious? Teacher Xiaolin was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Yuantai's mother meant, and started to play the role, first nodding his head in resignation.
"Since you agree, leave it to me. If Kojima-san is naughty again, I will not go easy on him." Teacher Kobayashi's face became more and more terrifying in Yuanta's eyes: "But you still have to take this back."
Teacher Kobayashi pushed the rolling pin back, picked up the spare pointer from the desk, and said fiercely: "I still find this one more convenient."
That day, Yuantai finally recalled the fear of being dominated by the tigress before the seven incredible events.
