15. Chapter 15
Although it hasn't been a long time yet, when Anna helped Aunt Li Mei look at the commissary before, she had seen the lip sync of these seven aunts and eight aunts nearby. Every afternoon after dinner, the aunts who are a little old and don't go to work in the neighborhood gather in the commissary one after another to knit sweaters and have a symposium. The content of the forum covered a wide range of topics, including all kinds of gossip about the district head, the director of the forest farm, and these people, including Lu Zhongjun, as well as all kinds of gossip around them. For example, a certain family bought a new imported 14-inch Sanyo color TV last month; the son of a certain family wore a toad mirror and bell bottoms, and was blocked by his old man in the door and cut it with scissors; Mrs. Zhang, who walked the streets and alleys selling soju with a burden, introduced a partner to the daughter of a certain family, and the man brought a pair of chickens and ducks and two catties of sugar to the door, and recently I saw the two of them going to a movie theater more than ten kilometers away to watch a movie together...... And so on and so forth.
Anna just didn't want to be seen near her home, so as not to be interrogated and explained later, so she deliberately chose this place with fewer people to get out of the car. didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, but it still bumped into Guo Yun's mother.
Guo Yun's mother is very enthusiastic, but she is very good-mouthed, and among the people Anna knows, she can definitely rank in the top three. Seeing that she was standing still and not leaving, her suspicious eyes swept between herself and Lu Zhongjun, and she spoke before Lu Zhongjun: "Auntie, didn't I go to Ganyuan Village yesterday for a home visit? You also know that the road is quite far, and I can't wait for the tractor when I come back, so I stayed at the student's place for the night, and when I came back in the morning, I happened to meet Captain Lu on the way, and he took me back by the way." After speaking, he stared at Lu Zhongjun.
"Oh, that's the case! Thank you Captain Lu for your enthusiasm!" Guo Yun's mother stretched out her head to the window of the car and smiled at the landing Zhongjun, with a flattering expression.
Lu Zhongjun glanced at Anna, raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded at Guo Yun's mother, didn't say anything, stepped on the accelerator and left.
When the car was almost out of sight, Guo Yun and her mother retracted her gaze, leaned over and whispered: "Meimei, Auntie reminded you because she cared about you, I heard that this captain Lu had a bad style before, and it was okay to have a backstage." You watch out for him. I'll tell you, where did he ...... before?"
"Uh-huh, I know, I know, you're busy, I'll go to the vegetable market to have a look......"
Anna prevaricated, left Guo Yun's mother and turned her head to go to the vegetable market.
The vegetables that can be bought in the vegetable market are pitifully small. Two pork stalls, a piece of meat eighty-one pounds, a few pieces of pork liver hanging on the side, a mutton stall, two pieces of meat ninety-one pounds. On the side is a finger-sized river fish stall that sells belly over, and all that's left is Chinese cabbage and eggplant peppers pulled out of the ice cellar. Anna spun around, and finally returned home with a piece of meat tied up with straw. When I was about to arrive, I saw Guo Yun's mother and Aunt Li Mei standing outside the commissary talking from a distance, and the vegetable basket in Guo Yun's mother's hand was placed at her feet. So he hurried up to the front and called out.
"Yo, Meimei is back, then I'm leaving!
Guo Yun's mother picked up the vegetable basket and left.
Aunt Li Mei had already learned about Anna's whereabouts last night from Guo Yun's mother, and her hanging heart was relieved. Seeing that she was back, he asked a few times and complained: "You kid has a big heart." You're not a serious class teacher, but you're a substitute teacher and a singing teacher, so why bother with this! I was worried to death last night, and if I don't come back in the morning, I'm going to Ganyuan Village myself!"
Anna also thought last night that Aunt Li Mei would be worried. It's just that the communication is really inconvenient at this time, and I can't deliver the news that I couldn't come back in time because I was delayed last night, so I kept apologizing. Aunt Li Mei complained twice, took the meat in Anna's hand, asked the price, looked at it, and shook her head: "Alas, you kid is so sad about me, why are you so lacking in heart!
"The meat seller said he gave me the best hind leg meat......
Anna couldn't tell where the pork was, and knew that she had been fooled by the meat seller, so she stuck out her tongue.
Aunt Li Mei sneered and shook her head, "Let's stir-fry the chili peppers at noon! Don't go grocery shopping by yourself in the future, go with your aunt, learn a little, save yourself from being like this when you go to your husband's house in the future, and your in-laws will dislike it." ”
Anna smiled and nodded. Aunt Li Mei took two steps inside with the meat, suddenly remembered, turned her head and said, "Meimei, just now Guo Yun's mother said that she saw you get out of the car of the captain of the police station." What's going on?"
Anna quickly explained again.
Aunt Li Mei nodded, "That's it, it's okay." Auntie go into the house, you can help me look at the store. ”
Anna groaned.
……
The next day was Monday, and Anna went to school early in the morning. Xu Bing's mother was not at ease, so she came again with her son, and was waiting bitterly at the school gate, when she saw Anna coming, she hurriedly greeted her.
Anna asked Xu Bing to go to the classroom first, and she and Xu Bing's mother went to Principal Li.
Principal Li had a bit of a headache. Originally, Xu Bing's father came to quit school by herself, and she was begging for it, but now her mother came to ask again, and hesitated: "Either you go and ask the head teacher, Mr. Wang." If she wanted it, let him come back. I said, this is really, one moment to retreat by oneself, and the other time to say that you want to go, what is the matter-"
Xu Bing's mother couldn't help but apologize and said good things, and Principal Li waved his hand to let him out. Anna and Xu Bing's mother went to find Teacher Wang Saiying again. Teacher Wang was a little unhappy, but he couldn't hinder Anna's face, and finally reluctantly agreed.
As soon as Xu Bing's mother left, Teacher Wang sighed, "It's easy to lag behind, and I came back in two days, and I was still looking for you to intercede." Hey Li Mei, I heard that you were tutoring Xu Bing alone at noon some time ago, why are you so concerned about him!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I should have told you earlier," Anna explained, "I'm just afraid of putting pressure on Xu Bing, so I didn't talk to you for the time being, and I want to wait for him to improve a lot before telling you." That's right, Xu Bing, this student......"
Anna explained Xu Bing's situation.
Teacher Wang was surprised when he heard this, "Why do you still have such a disease?"
"Yes," Anna nodded, "and in English-speaking countries in foreign countries, the rate of dyslexia is higher. This rate in our Chinese is lower, not very common, so not many people know. This is the case with Xu Bing. I happened to have done this training before and am helping him correct it. Psychological factors also account for a large proportion of this disease, and I hope that Mr. Wang, you can help him more in the future. When he slowly corrects himself, his grades will definitely improve in the future. ”
After Anna finished speaking, she was still surprised and didn't believe Mr. Wang, so she gave the examples of the legendary Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci.
“…… Both celebrities also suffered from dyslexia as children and had poor grades in school, but both later proved to be geniuses. I'm not saying that Xu Bing is a genius like them, but this student is quite smart, he can make it himself when he goes home and takes a look at the warship on TV. In the future, there will be a model aircraft competition, let him go, I guarantee that he can get the ranking. ”
Teacher Wang finally believed it, and sighed, "I see, why didn't you follow me earlier! I thought that this student had a bad brain, and he still refused to improve." I see. Care more in the future. ”
Teacher Wang is actually okay. Anna was happy to see that she believed her words.
Xu Bing's mother was even more grateful, and came over again that night, bringing milk, two catties of dried fish and two net bags of fruit, some for Anna, and the rest for Teacher Wang.
Anna herself was adamant not to accept anything. But considering the relationship of sending something to Teacher Wang, it is not a bad thing for Xu Bing, as long as Xu Bing does not know. told Xu Bing's mother about her home address, and told her not to tell Xu Bing about the gift. Xu Bing's mother left with a thousand thanks.
For the next week, Anna was busy. While busy with the final rehearsal, he found time to continue to give Xu Bing a correction lesson. Time passed in a flash, and soon it was the day of the county art show competition. On this day, Anna took the students who participated in the performance program and the school's director of education to take a chartered bus to the Grand Theater in Luoping County to participate in the competition.
