Chapter 189: Growing Pains
"Yo, this dried vegetable is really ......" Qin Yi said to himself with interest after tasting the taste. I have to say that the taste of this dried dish is really great, and it has become the protagonist by even pressing down the button meat in the plum cabbage. The taste of this dried vegetable is very mellow and fragrant, Qin Yi estimated that it should not only be dried by himself, but even grown by himself.
This kind of thing, which is said to be valuable, is actually very valuable, and it is not worth much when it is said to be worthless. Because it's really not a very expensive thing, but many rich people are pursuing this "original food" these days.
Even those who are not very professional can taste the difference of this plum dish, such as Wu Yue.
"It's delicious, this plum cabbage!" Wu Yue said excitedly, "I always feel ...... The taste of plum cabbage is particularly authentic!"
"Well, one of my students gave it to me, and their family posted it themselves. Qin Yi explained with a smile, Wu Yue had an intoxicated expression on his face, "Well, this tastes ...... I can eat two big steamed buns with this plum cabbage!"
"You're welcome, it's more. Qin Yi couldn't help but smile.
"Seriously, if you don't let your students start a micro-business and sell this, I think it will be great. Wu Yue said seriously, "Anyway, if I sell it, I will definitely buy a bunch of it and come back." ”
"Will you do it?" Qin Yi asked curiously, Wu Yue smiled a little embarrassedly: "I can find you." ”
Of course, Wu Yue just said this at this time, Qin Yi listened to it but didn't pay too much attention to it. The next day, he came to the school with plum cabbage and meat, and gave the finished product to Xia Yuxin and Anina to taste.
"This plum dish tastes so good...... Xia Yuxin covered her mouth and said with some surprise, "Of course, the button meat is also very good, it is not greasy at all, and the stew is also terrible, but the taste of this plum vegetable is really authentic......"
"Xiaoyi, I'll take these back and give them to my dad and Cortana to try them too. Anina smiled and said, "My dad likes to eat plum cabbage very much, and this plum vegetable tastes so good, he will definitely like it." ”
"I prepared it for you a long time ago," Qin Yi said with a smile, handing Anina a lunch box, "You can eat your share yourself, you can take this one back for Xiao Na and Uncle An to taste." ”
"Oh, you're still so considerate......" Anina smiled movingly, holding her hands.
Xia Yuxin blinked her beautiful eyes and asked tentatively, "Xiaoyi, can I also bring some back to my mother to try?" She actually likes these authentic Chinese food, I think she will definitely like this plum ......."
"Hmm...... Why don't you eat it, and I'll bring you a little more tomorrow so that you can take it back for your mother to taste?" Qin Yi asked.
Xia Yuxin said happily: "That's the best, but is your plum vegetable the same plum vegetable that the child gave you yesterday? It's delicious, why don't you help me find her for some next time? If not, you can buy it." ”
"I'll talk to the kid. Qin Yi said with interest, "Are you willing to spend money on this?"
"I'm sorry for Shiro, but it's really delicious. Anina pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, I'll save it for lunch." Go buy two pancakes, and eat this plum vegetable and button meat at noon, which must be very good. ”
"Hmm......" Qin Yi held his chin and groaned, maybe he could really rely on this to give Chang Qi's family some extra income.
There is no need to be so troublesome as running an online store, but in the form of micro-business, it is enough to let Anina, Xia Yuxin and Wu Yue promote among friends. They don't need such a high income, just help their family subsidize a little bit every month.
Before class, Qin Yi called Chang Qi aside and asked about it: "Chang Qi, those dried vegetables, you said that your grandparents dried them themselves, right? They should have grown them themselves, right?"
"Yes, our family is actually in a very remote urban village, my dad rented a house here for a part-time job, and I live in that house now, and I only come home every Saturday to visit. Chang Qi explained.
"Do you live alone? Be careful, don't let strangers in, especially people of the opposite sex, whether it's friends or students at school. Qin Yi reminded, and Chang Qi nodded: "I know, teacher." Now I don't have the heart or time to fall in love, I have too many things to do, and the family's living expenses are counting on me. ”
"That's good, besides, I want to ask your grandparents if you still have this dried dish?" Qin Yi asked.
"Yes, I'll bring some more to the teacher when I come to school next week?" Chang Qi said with a smile.
"Oh, it's not the teacher. Qin Yi grinned, "Other teachers, as well as teachers' friends, after tasting these dried vegetables, they think they taste great, so they want to ask me to buy them." I'll just say that one of my students dried it at home, do you think you want your grandparents to take out these dried vegetables and sell them? It's good to subsidize the family, right?"
Chang Qi seemed a little hesitant: "No, okay, these are not big deals, I still feel embarrassed to sell them for money." There are a lot of these in the grandparents' house, and the family field is not big, and they don't plant this to sell, but they usually eat it themselves, and the extra ones are used to dry vegetables so as not to spoil them. If you want it, I'll bring it to you. ”
Indeed, Chang Qi gave him not only plum vegetables, but also cabbage and camellia, which tasted quite good. Qin Yi explained: "After all, we are also adults, and it is difficult to ask the teacher for nothing, and the teacher's friends are embarrassed to ask for it." In this way, you will sell it at a cheaper price, and you will also give your grandparents a little extra money. ”
"That'...... Let me ask. Chang Qi said tentatively, "Teacher, I can understand if you want to help me, but ...... I'm so embarrassed to introduce the work of that screen mold, and I have to sell even this little thing......"
"Then you can give it to the teacher for free, and then you can sell it to the other friends of the teacher. Qin Yi said with a smile, and then patted her on the shoulder, "Okay, go back to your own place, the class will start soon." ”
The class bell rings, and today's class begins.
Qin Yi put his recent target on Tang Xueying, on the one hand, the situation of the Tang family made him a little interested, on the other hand, Tang Xueying was actually a very good student, if Qin Yi could prove to her that he was indeed trustworthy, then other students would definitely believe that indeed any kind of trouble could come to him to discuss.
Of course, the most important thing is actually Tang Xueying's "betrothed".
According to Qin Yi's understanding, Tang Xueying's marriage partner is thirty-eight years old this year, and Tang Xueying is less than seventeen years old this year. This means that when Tang Xueying reaches the legal age of marriage, the other party should be forty years old.
But if it's just like that, it's nothing, after all, the rules of the Tang family have always been business marriages, and how many people can get a happy marriage? If it's a son, maybe it's okay, after all, girls from wealthy families are usually not too bad, after all, there are all kinds of high-end cosmetics and clothing to package, but daughters......
Most of them are like Tang Xueying, who has a huge age gap with their fiancés.
And Tang Xueying's fiancé is named Hu Kesong, and he can't talk about too much of an achievement, that is, relying on the assets left by his father, with the help of some ruffians and hooligans, he forcibly took down a piece of demolition land, and then converted it into a new real estate, and now it is considered a rich party. After all, the real estate in the entire community is all his.
However, this person has a very bad fetish, that is, pedophilia, and he is relatively famous in the circle of rich people. However, there is a reason why he has not been arrested for so many years, and he likes young girls of sixteen or seventeen years old, rather than those who are a few years old. This age is a rather awkward stage.
The reason is very simple, girls over the age of fourteen, who have a relationship with both parties, are actually not strong female minors. And Hookson relied on his own financial resources to be willing to take the initiative to have a relationship with him There are countless sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, so even if he wants to arrest him, there is no evidence.
However, the problem with this is that the girls Hookson is interested in are between the ages of sixteen and nineteen, and he loses interest in girls over the age of twenty. This means that he will definitely attack Tang Xueying before she is twenty years old, and as for the timing of the attack, it should be when Tang Xueying's family is the most vulnerable.
It costs money to hire and retain those good fighters, and once there is a serious financial gap and Tang Xueying's family can't support it, her parents will agree to "sell" her to her fiancé in advance.
And once Tang Xueying is twenty years old, Tang Kesong will lose interest in her, and she can't cheat or divorce, after all, her family is still counting on Tang Kesong's financial resources. So in the end, she can only stay alone in the empty house and be a living widow. Qin Yi would not let her students live such a life, although Tang Xueying did not say it, she must have something she wanted to do.
Although Tang Xueying was ready to sacrifice for her family, she must have a dream in her heart, a future she longed for, and Qin Yi's task was to help her realize this future. Therefore, after class, it happened to be a lunch break at noon, and Qin Yi waved to Tang Xueying: "Xueying, come over here, I have something to talk to you about alone." ”
Tang Xueying's face was expressionless, and she followed Qin Yi outside. However, Qin Yi did not take Tang Xueying to the office, but came to the school library alone, at this time Zhang Yali went to buy food and didn't come over, only a fat cat was here, curled up on the cat climbing frame, lazily basking in the sunlight that came in from the window while napping.
"Ah Mao?" Qin Yi looked at the somewhat familiar round creature that was huddled on the second floor of the cat climbing frame, and suddenly frowned, "Is it you, Ah Mao? Why are you so fat? I haven't come to see you for two weeks!"
"Woo woo...... Ah Mao let out a low hum, didn't bother to pay attention to him, just shook his tail slightly.
"Teacher, did you know that cats are forbidden in schools? Tang Xueying frowned and said.
"Why did the teacher get it? Yali got it, and the teacher just helped a little. But it won't stay long, and this week Yali will be able to take it home. Qin Yi explained with a smile.
"Zhang Yali's mother, agree to let her have a cat at home?" Tang Xueying sneered, "It seems that you have really made a lot of efforts in places that we can't see." ”
"That is, the teacher will do anything for you. Qin Yi replied with a smile, "Xue Ying, you seem to be more depressed than before recently, is there any teacher who can help you? Or do you have any troubles you want to talk to the teacher?"
"Why do you say that, why am I so depressed?" asked Tang Xueying expressionlessly.
"You haven't quarreled with Sisi lately, and you're very unmotivated on the surface. Qin Yi explained.
Tang Xueying sighed and said impatiently: "Listen, I know that you are a good teacher and have done a lot of things for your students, but some things are really beyond your ability. So, trust me, you can't help me. ”
"Can you tell this result without trying?" Qin Yi asked with a smile holding his chin.
Tang Xueying seemed to be angry and funny, and didn't say anything. Qin Yi continued: "You see, the reason why the future is exciting is because you never know what good things will happen in the future. Of course, sometimes things get worse, but as long as you work hard with hope, then it will always get better, don't you think so, Xueying?"
"You know, I'm really fed up with your ridiculous remarks. I can only say that your life abroad is too simple, and there are many things that are not so simple. Tang Xueying said angrily, turned around and prepared to leave, "I'm going to eat." ”
However, Qin Yi pressed her shoulder and said with a smile: "Then, do you want to make a bet? You hold on to hope and strive for a better result." If things do get better tomorrow, you have to come and talk to the teacher about your growing pains, and if things don't get better, the teacher won't bother you in the future. What do you think?"
Tang Xueying glanced at Qin Yi deeply, that expression was very complicated, as if she knew that Qin Yi was not an ordinary person, and he had never broken his word until now, but she couldn't believe that Qin Yi could understand and deal with the complicated situation in her family. So she didn't say anything, turned around and left: "I'm going to eat, and the teacher should eat early." ”
