The story about the broom

I heard my grandfather talk about such a thing, and I found it very interesting.

At that time, the school was very simple, with only a few rows of small bungalows. School management was very loose in those days. One morning during the self-study class, the students in our class started chatting and laughing when they saw that the head teacher, Teacher Yun, was not there. Some classmates even went out to hang out, and I followed them out to get some fresh air. And when I walked into the classroom and opened the door, a broom fell from the door and hit me on the head, causing everyone to laugh. Not only did I feel embarrassed, I was also furious. It turned out that someone was playing a prank and put a broom on the classroom door. As soon as someone pushed the door in, the broom would fall and hit their head. I wanted to regain my face and let the classmates who came in behind me get teased, so I picked up the broom and put it on the door again. Unexpectedly, the classmates who were leaving hurriedly knocked on the back door of the classroom and barged in, saying that the grade director Wang Xiangyun was here.

Director Wang came to the class to check discipline. He had a bad temper and the students were all afraid of him. I wanted to run over and take off the broom from the door, but it was too late. Director Wang pushed the door hard and the broom hit him on the head, making him look disgraced. At this time, the students all held back their laughter. Director Wang asked sternly: "Who did this?" After repeated questioning, a classmate with whom I had a conflict reported me.

Director Wang came over angrily, grabbed me by the collar, picked me up like a chicken, and threw me in front of the podium. Later, my classmates often laughed at me about this incident.

However, many years later, every time someone mentioned this matter at a class reunion, it brought joyful laughter to everyone.
