Come Eat Mr. Bunny Rabbit

Today, Wen Ming received a few phone calls in the morning. There were some from the parents, coworkers, and finally, one from the principal.

The principal told him of the latest circumstances.

“Mr. xiao’Wen, the person from the education bureau came today. We’ve already handed all the evidence and the course of consultation over to them. From how things look at the moment, though there is suspicion, but in the end, there is no direct evidence proving you harmed the child. Following this, they will continue investigating. They might question the child directly regarding what happened before, but you know too, they are still too young, in this kind of thing, children’s testimonies typically can only be used as a reference.”

The principal consoled, “From the looks of it now, the situation is more favourable for us. Oh right, yesterday when the teachers in the office heard about this, everyone was very furious. Everybody is standing on your side. They even said, if the result this time is not to their satisfaction, the teachers are also going to write a letter to the education bureau to report the situation.”

Wen Ming started getting uneasy, “I’m already very appreciative of these thoughts. Principal, please help hold everyone back for me.”

The principal laughed as she spoke, “There are some people I can hold off, but some people, I cannot hold back.”

Wen Ming did not understand.

Turns out, the parents in Wen Ming’s class all heard about this matter one after another. He was suspended very suddenly yesterday, but the parents’ actions were also very fast, afraid that if they were late, it would delay matters, and after discussing it together for an afternoon, they sent another letter to the education bureau today.

This letter was to help Wen Ming right a wrong. His class had a total of twenty-three parents, and everyone signed their name on the letter, even the old grandma who previously made things difficult for Wen Ming signed it. The main contents of the letter were that they believed in Wen Ming’s character, and hoped that the education bureau does not act in a discriminatory fashion, and disappoint a good teacher’s heart.

If other people report, then they will counter-report it! For what reason can a single letter make that big of a little Mr. Strawberry that was still here yesterday disappear?

This development was completely beyond Wen Ming’s expectations. He gripped the phone and could not say anything, his nose was aching a bit.

“Thank you, really, thank you……”

No wonder today in the morning, xiao’Yao’s mother called him asking about his circumstances, she even comforted him, it’s alright, Mr. xiao’Wen, it will get better soon.

Turns out those words were serious. Wen Ming was appreciative.

Xiao’Yao’s mother even told him, after Mr. Strawberry left, when xiao’Yao came back home yesterday, he was not happy for an entire evening, asking her why little Mr. Strawberry left.

She tried to use some plain and easy-to-understand words to explain to xiao’Yao, but did not know if the child understood or not. And it was because of this that xiao’Yao’s mother then had the idea to have the group of parents write a letter.

But now that it was mentioned, he also had business to do.

“Principal, I want to talk about something with you.”

The principal seemed to predict what he wanted to say, and answered, “Not to worry, we already copied yesterday’s camera footage and saved it. Mr. xiao’Wen, how do you want to deal with it?”

Of course, he wanted to seek responsibility.

This kind of thing with definite evidence, if it went smoothly, could get a detainment and reparations.

However, the way it would be handled in the process might be a bit troublesome. The principal saw that convincing was of no use, and after understanding Wen Ming’s thoughts, she expressed that she would provide assistance afterwards.

Wen Ming’s and the principal’s ideas then reached unanimity. He let out a sigh, and hung up the phone.

……

At noon.

Not a while after Jiang Rui crouched in the shade of a tree, someone with unsteady footsteps swayed over this side.

It was xiao’Ha who used the excuse of pee-pee to run out here in the afternoon break again. He used the innate gift of a canidae to precisely find Big Brother’s hiding spot, when he saw it was Jiang Rui’s figure as expected, he immediately excitedly shook his tail madly, “Big Brodeh!”

It was a Big Brother that wasn’t in a good mood! He he he!

Jiang Rui signalled for him to come over.

“What happened yesterday?” He asked.

When he mentioned this, xiao’Ha once again put on a sad face, “Mr. Shawbewwy’s been taken away.”

Jiang Rui, “Speak clearly.” The patience he had to face the kid with was about to run out.

Xiao’Ha used all his brainpower, “Mr. Shawbewwy, was taken away.”

“……” Jiang Rui, “Find a better speaking one here.”

Xiao’Ha did not suspect it, “Okay.”

Since Big Brother had orders, he would move at top speed, and bring his bestest friend Coda over.

After xiao’Ha left, Jiang Rui crouched in the shade of the tree and waited for a good while. In the afternoon break, the nursery was unusually quiet, and in the period of peace, new footsteps approached him again.

It was not er’Ha. Jiang Rui lifted his eyes to look, it was two familiar faces.

A little spikeball brought another jerky kid over.

What Jiang Rui said to xiao’Ha was, to bring someone who could speak clearly.

Carl who had a mysterious power: Is the one you’re searching for, “xiao’Yao”?

It had to be said- because xiao’Yao’s mother explained it clearly to him last night, for now, he was certainly the person in the entire class that understood the matter the best. The big guy of all the short ones.

However, it wasn’t just one or two days that xiao’Yao and Jiang Rui did not get along already, for this special time, they had no other way- one barely said it, and one made do with listening.

Up to this point, Jiang Rui pretty much also understood clearly.

He confirmed it again, “Aardwolf, is it?”

Aardwolves were not wolves, they were famous hyenas. Once one knew about this, matters would be much easier to deal with.

Xiao’Yao nodded his head.

Jiang Rui was about to get up and leave. At this time, the corner of his clothes was clutched by a small hand.

It was Carl.

Carl raised his head, and politely asked him, “Uncle, do you know how to get to the police station?”

He did not know who Jiang Rui was, but those who could be this big and tall were all called Uncle, shorter ones were Big Brother.

Jiang Rui lowered his eyes to look at him, and used a finger to flick away that hand, and asked, “What are you going to do?”

Carl took out a paper from his own baggy, and gave it to Jiang Rui.

One had to start from this morning when everyone just came to the nursery for this matter.

Just as everyone arrived at the nursery this morning, before classes started, the entire classroom was in a bustle.

Mr. Strawberry was sent away by a letter- this matter already spread out in class one’s little kids’ ears.

Everyone unanimously decided, they’re going to write a letter too!

This matter was known by Ms. Hua Hua. She felt this bunch of little kids were extremely warming, and did not have the heart to stop them either, and let them do as they wanted. When that day Mr. xiao’Wen returns comes, and he sees this letter, he will definitely be moved.

The bunch of small wise kids asked xiao’Mi who wrote the neatest in the village to write it.

Xiao’Mi said, “But what kind of letter are we writing?”

Bao’bao made a fist, “A letter of complaint!”

Everyone agreed one after the other, and wrote it as such.

COmplane-t

Giv bAck mister STawberrY!

But in the end, they were lacking in literacy. The entire class could not assemble a complete word, and a few words, they had to learn right then. Everyone half-pieced it to finish the letter, and when they reached the final signing, it turned into another problem. Because there were a good few people who had not yet learned to write their own name.

The people on TV would sign their names on letters.

And so in the end, they used different-coloured crayons to draw each of their animal heads in the blank space, representing a signature. Each person also angrily drew a “#” shape on the animal heads, vividly and visually representing that the little animals were angry!

Very angry!!!

They also used a red crayon to draw a small strawberry in the empty space, representing the missing Mr. Strawberry. This strawberry and the many little animals were the same, their expression looked to be very angry.

“Xiao’Yao! Your cat head is too big! That place beside Mr. Strawberry’s been taken by you!”

…… Actually, the progression was not that smooth, stumbles and quarrels couldn’t be helped.

But with this, a picture of a vivid hundred animals being angry got completed.

Then, a new problem came- they finished writing the letter, but who was going to be responsible for sending it?

In that moment this problem appeared, all the kids on the scene tacitly looked towards Carl.

And at this time, Carl hopefully looked at the uncle in front, and hoped he could bring him to the police station to make a complaint.

After looking at that letter, Jiang Rui emotionlessly lifted up the corners of his mouth.

The police station, they won’t be able to go.

But he knew of a better place.

Jiang Rui reached out and put the thing that turned into a small spikeball into the pocket of his jacket, and said to the person remaining, “Don’t say anything.”

Xiao’Yao promised.

The entire process was actually went underway very quickly in secret. Before Ms. Hua Hua went out to find them, xiao’Yao already covered his right hand with the left and returned to the napping area, and he stuffed a ball of air into Carl’s blankets.

Ms. Hua Hua had other things, and she hurriedly told xiao’Yao, “Since you came back, you have to go rest, alright? Teacher’s going to go out to find xiao’Ha and Coda right now.”

Those two children had not come back yet, hopefully nothing went wrong.

Thankfully, she did not walk too far and found xiao’Ha and Coda who were stumbling on the small playground, and the big rock in her heart then fell down.

When they were discovered, xiao’Ha was pulling on Coda’s hand swaying around outside for whatever reason. Never mind this, Coda’s clothes even had a big, crooked “injustice” written in with a crayon.

Missing the dots.

Ms. Hua Hua: ……

Coda, promise Teacher, don’t watch too much TV back at home.

She first brought them back with one hand holding each one, and busied off again to see if she could help Coda wash his clothes.

Thankfully, Carl was always a small little ball, and was especially convenient to move around with.

Not an hour later, Jiang Rui returned the small hedgehog. When Carl returned to the nursery, he gave everyone an OK, mission accomplished.
