Chapter 5 Mr. Principal

When Xiaodoudou and her mother entered the room, the man in the room stood up from the chair. His hair was already thinning, and some of his front teeth had fallen out, but his complexion was very good.He was not tall, but his shoulders and arms were strong. The black three-piece suit was old and out of shape, but it looked very neat on him. Xiaodoudou hurriedly bowed and asked loudly: "Are you Mr. Principal, or someone from the station?" Mom hurriedly wanted to explain what was going on, but the man had already answered with a smile: "It's Mr. Principal." Xiaodoudou said very happily:

"Great! Then, please, I want to come to this school." The principal asked Xiaodoudou to sit on the chair, and then said to Xiaodoudou's mother: "Next, I want to talk to Xiaodoudou, please come back." For just a moment, Xiaodoudou was a little worried.But dimly, Xiaodoudou feels that being with the principal is very reassuring.Mom said very neatly: "Then I'll leave it to you." Then Mom walked out and closed the door behind her. The principal pulled the chair to Xiaodoudou, sat down facing Xiaodoudou, and said: "Okay, you can talk to the teacher, you can say anything. Tell the teacher everything you want to say."

"What do you want to say?" Xiaodoudou originally thought that Mr. Principal would ask some questions and asked him to answer them.When she heard "Anything is fine", Xiaodoudou was very happy and started talking immediately.The order of speaking, the way of speaking, was a bit messy, but she said desperately: The tram I was riding just now was running very fast; The uncle who wanted to keep the ticket and begged the station to check the ticket, but he refused to give it; In the school I was studying in the past, the female teacher who served as the head teacher was very beautiful;

In that school, there is a swallow's nest; There is a tawny dog ​​named "Rocky" at home, it can "shake hands" and "sorry", and after eating, it will say "very satisfied, very satisfied"; When I was in kindergarten, I used to put the scissors in my mouth and play with it. The teacher saw it and said angrily: "I will cut off the tongue!" But I still played like that several times; When you have a runny nose, if you keep sucking it back and forth, you will be scolded by your mother, so blow it off as soon as possible; Dad is very good at swimming in the sea, even diving;

... Xiaodoudou said things like this one by one.Mr. Principal laughed and nodded while listening, and sometimes asked "what about later", Xiaodoudou became happier and talked endlessly.But, slowly, at last there was almost nothing to say.Xiaodoudou closed her mouth, thinking about what to say.At this time, Mr. asked: "Is it gone already?" Xiaodoudou felt that it would be a pity if it ended like this.After all, someone is willing to listen to me, such a good opportunity cannot be missed. "What else can I say? Is there nothing left?" Xiaodoudou's mind was spinning rapidly.After thinking and thinking, finally, "Yes!" She found another topic.

That was the clothes Xiaodoudou wore that day.Generally speaking, Xiaodou's clothes are sewn by her mother herself, but the one she is wearing today is bought.This is because, every evening, when Xiaodoudou comes back from the outside, the clothes on her body are always torn, sometimes even broken into pieces.How could it be like this? Mom can’t imagine, why even the white cotton shorts with elastic bands will be torn? In Xiaodoudou’s words, she sometimes has to arch over fences and pass through people’s pants The yard, and sometimes the barbed wire that surrounds the field, "became like this".As a result, when I went out this morning, there was no one left of the beautiful clothes my mother sewed by hand, and they were all in tatters.It was a knitted dress with a pattern of fine carmine and gray checks.It's actually a really nice dress, but the embroidery on the neckline is red, and my mom says it's "a little tacky".Thinking of this, Xiao Doudou quickly slipped down from the chair, lifted the collar of the dress with her hands, walked up to Mr., and said:

"My mother doesn't like this collar!" After finishing speaking, Xiaodoudou racked her brains and thought, but this time she really couldn't find anything to say.Xiaodoudou couldn't help being a little sad. At this time, the principal stood up, touched Xiaodoudou's head with his big warm hand, and said: "Well, from today onwards, you are a student of this school." At this time, Xiaodoudou felt that for the first time in her life, she met someone she really liked! Because, since Xiaodoudou was born until now, no one has ever listened to her for such a long time.Moreover, during such a long time, Mr. Principal never yawned once, nor did he show any signs of impatience.Like Xiao Doudou, he leaned forward and listened attentively.

At that time, Xiaodoudou could not look at the clock, but she also felt that a very long time had passed.If she knew how to check the time, she would be even more surprised, and would be more grateful to Mr. Principal.Because it was eight o'clock when Xiaodou and her mother arrived at the school. After talking in the principal's office and deciding to make Xiaodoudou a student of this school, the principal looked at his pocket watch and said, "Ah, it's already lunch time." That is to say, my husband listened to Xiao Doudou's words for four hours. Whether it was before or after this, no adult listened to Xiaodoudou so seriously.

In addition, Xiao Doudou, who has just entered the first grade, can actually talk for four hours alone. If her mother or the former school teacher heard about this, she would be very surprised. At this time, Xiaodoudou hadn't noticed that she had dropped out of school, and she didn't even notice how embarrassing the adults around her were.Xiaodoudou's personality is very cheerful, very innocent, and it is not easy to take things to heart.However, in Xiaodoudou's heart, for some reason, sometimes there is a feeling of being rejected.She vaguely felt that she was the only one who was different from other children and was looked at coldly.However, when she was with the principal of this school, she felt very at ease, very warm, and in a great mood.

"It would be nice to be with this person forever." This is the first time Xiaodoudou met the principal, Mr. Sosaku Kobayashi.And, fortunately, Mr. Principal had the same feeling as Xiaodou at that time.
