Chapter 207: The Taste of Memory
Click!
Luo Kai knocked on the door in front of him.
This old-style security door is very deep in Luo Kai's memory, when he was studying in the county middle school, he knocked on the door more than once like now, and there are many warm memories inside.
Before you know it, it's been ten years.
The door opened.
"Su Qing, did you leave something behind?"
The door was opened by an old woman with white hair, who obviously thought that Su Qing, who had just left, had returned.
Luo Kai smiled and said, "Master, it's been a long time, how are you doing?"
The old woman raised her head in surprise, she carefully looked at Luo Kai who was standing in front of her, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Luo Kai?"
There was a hint of hesitation in her voice, after all, after so many years, Luo Kai's image has changed a lot, and because of her age, many of her memories are not very clear.
"It's me..."
Luo Kai smiled: "I'm coming to see you and Teacher Li!"
"It's really you!"
Mrs. Li reacted, with a look of surprise on her face: "Why are you here, Su Qing also came just now." ”
Luo Kai touched his nose, very embarrassed.
Since he graduated from high school and went to the capital, although he has been back to Xihe several times, today is the first time he has come to visit Mr. Li and his wife, and I feel very ashamed to think about it.
"I just met her, Master, this is my daughter Niuniu. ”
Niuniu greeted obediently: "Hello grandma." ”
"Hello hello..."
Mrs. Li was pleasantly surprised: "Come in and sit down." ”
Luo Kai led Niuniu into the door and came to the living room, ten years have not changed much, it is nothing more than that the sofa and furniture have become more old, and even the refrigerator in the corner and the wall clock on the wall are still the same.
It is as if the years have been frozen here.
"Who?"
At this moment, a thin old man came out of the study, holding his glasses as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle, and looked at the visitors in the living room with a suspicious gaze.
"Teacher Li!"
Luo Kai smiled and said, "I'm Luo Kai, I'm here to see you!"
This old man who looks weak is none other than his high school homeroom teacher Li Licheng.
I haven't seen him for ten years, Mr. Li is very old, and people in their sixties look similar to those in their seventies.
It makes people feel sad.
"Luo Kai!"
Li Licheng was very surprised, he walked over and grabbed Luo Kai's arm, and said in a tone of disbelief: "You have changed so much, the teacher is almost unrecognizable!"
Luo Kai hurriedly supported him: "You sit." ”
The two sat down on the sofa together, Li Licheng was very emotional, looked at Luo Kai and said, "It's been ten years, right? I heard other classmates say that you are in the capital, how is your work and life now?"
Luo Kai said: "It's all fine, how are you doing?"
In my memory, Mr. Li's health has never been very good, and he became ill from hard work for the sake of his students.
Li Licheng said with a smile: "I'm very good now, but I'm really idle at home after retirement, and my heart is empty, I originally wanted the school to rehire and teach for a few more years, but your wife didn't agree." ”
Xihe County Middle School is the best school in Xihe area, and the teachers are very strong, and if other teachers want to be hired again after retirement, the school may not agree, but Li Licheng's situation is completely different.
He is a provincial special teacher, decades of education career is full of peach and plum in the world, the proportion of students he teaches is the highest, he wants to re-teach the whip, then the school is too late to welcome.
Not to mention anything else, if Li Licheng goes out to open a cram school by himself, parents in Xihe County will have to sign up!
But for decades, he never opened a cram school to make a penny of extra money.
"Your teacher is not in good health and has to die..."
Mrs. Li came over with a thermos to pour tea for Luo Kai, and complained: "If I hadn't insisted on it, he would have to die on the podium, and he wouldn't have died!"
She complained to Luo Kai again: "Come on, come on, what are you doing with so many things, and we won't eat them." ”
When he came over just now, Luo Kai carried a large bag of nutritional supplements.
"Then I can't come empty-handed, can I?"
Luo Kai smiled: "I have eaten so many times in your house before, and now I have nothing to honor, so I mean, I have asked, they are all supplements suitable for the elderly." ”
When he was in high school, he often went to Mr. Li's place to eat, and Luo Kai ate a lot of food at that time, because he needed a lot of nutritional supplements because he exercised every day, and his food expenses were quite small.
After Li Licheng learned about the situation, he asked Luo Kai to come to his house for dinner every once in a while, and stewed a pot of fragrant braised pork for Luo Kai every time.
It was the most delicious food in Luo Kai's memory, so much so that he often remembered it in the reborn world.
But anywhere else, no chef can cook that flavor!
Mrs. Li said angrily: "You kid... Forget it, I'll go grocery shopping first, and you and Niuniu will eat at home at noon!"
Without waiting for Luo Kai to answer, she picked up the vegetable basket and went out.
Luo Kai didn't stop him, he took Niuniu and said to Li Licheng: "Teacher Li, this is my daughter Niuniu." ”
didn't need Luo Kai to remind her, Niuniu said hello sweetly: "Hello grandpa." ”
"Good, good..."
Li Licheng smiled: "My daughter is also so old, it is very good to start a family." ”
He thought about it, got up and went to the study, and soon came back with an extra jewelry box in his hand.
After sitting down again, he stuffed the box into Niuniu's hand and said, "This is a gift from grandpa." ”
Luo Kai was taken aback: "Teacher, no need." ”
"It's not valuable!"
Li Licheng glared at him and said, "What I gave to your daughter, not for you, why not?"
Luo Kai was speechless.
Teacher Li glared, there were few students who were not afraid, and Luo Kai was no exception.
But Li Licheng is very good to every student, Luo Kai's academic performance was at the bottom of the class that year, he also fell in love with the class leader, and he liked to cause trouble, and he was almost expelled from school, but he was spared by his protection.
Mr. Li also often encouraged Luo Kai that even if he couldn't get into college, he should be brave enough to break out of a life path and not disappoint his youth.
Recalling the past, Luo Kai didn't feel that his heart was surging, and he really had a feeling that the weight of his mentor's kindness could not be reciprocated.
He has encountered many setbacks in the course of his life, but he has also met many kind people, such as Grandma Wang, such as Teacher Li in front of him.
is still Niuniu sensible: "Thank you, grandpa." ”
"Good. ”
Li Licheng touched her little head and asked kindly, "How old are you this year and where do you go to school?"
Niuniu replied, "I'm six years old and haven't gone to school yet, but I know a lot of words..."
Li Licheng chatted with Niuniu with a smile, and then asked about Luo Kai's situation.
Luo Kai said simply.
After listening to it, Li Licheng was very emotional: "I remember that you used to like singing very much, and you even ran to the stage to sing love songs to Su Qing at the New Year's Day party that year, which made the principal angry..."
He smiled and shook his head: "I didn't expect you to really become a singer now." ”
That was the most sensational thing Luo Kai had ever done in school back then, young and frivolous and impulsive, and then carried a warning, or the result of Li Licheng's intercession.
Niuniu turned her head to look at her father, blinking her eyes with a very curious look, she didn't understand very well, but she felt like her father had done something earth-shattering.
What she was curious about was that Su Qing that her grandfather was talking about, was that the aunt she had just met?
Luo Kai coughed twice in embarrassment and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect it either." ”
Li Licheng did not continue the topic, and said: "No matter what you do, as long as it is a legitimate industry, then do it seriously, with your cleverness, as long as you are willing to work hard, I believe you will succeed..."
Luo Kai nodded and was taught.
In front of Li Licheng, he will always be a student.
At noon, Luo Kai and Niuniu had lunch at Teacher Li's house.
There is no accident, Mrs. Li stewed a pot of fragrant braised pork for Luo Kai, she likes Niuniu very much, and she sandwiched a lot of dishes for Niuniu, of course, including braised pork.
"Your father, I used to like my grandmother's braised pork the most, and I can eat a big bowl every time!"
Luo Kai smiled, and then ate a big bowl.
It's still the most familiar taste in my memory, it's really fragrant.
