The house that Chen Jian rented in the city has not expired, and he can't sublease it, and now he takes the bus to go back and forth in the county and city every day to work.

Bai Yan used to have a dormitory in the company, but now their company does not have this condition, Bai Yan must rent a house when he comes over, Zhang Dongming said to help find it, one is that he is convenient in the county, and the main thing is to help Bai Yan reduce some financial burden, the money from renting a house is nothing to him, but it is a very large expenditure for Bai Yan.

School will start in two days, and Bai Yan will come to work in three or four days, so on the second day of the party, Zhang Dongming began to help Bai Yan find a house in the county.

Their company's location is opposite the Forestry Bureau at the north gate of the county, which is very close to Tang Wan's community, less than 200 meters. It is often said that renting a house is as close to the company as possible, but the county is so big, no matter how far it is, it is not far away.

After all, a big girl lives by herself, and Zhang Dongming's main consideration for renting a house for Bai Yan is that the community and the surrounding environment are chaotic, and it is inconvenient to live and travel, and then what the house looks like.

In the past two days, Zhang Dongming looked at more than 20 houses, none of them particularly liked, mainly because of the house, he didn't like it if it was too broken, and it was a little too good for Bai Yan to take a fancy to, this girl definitely couldn't agree.

However, school will start tomorrow, Bai Yan will also come over the day after tomorrow, Zhang Dongming did not choose carefully, and finally chose a one-bedroom and a living room on the fourth floor of a community in the west gate of the county, which is not too far from Dong Yan's community.

The house is actually not very good, it is very old and old, the decoration is very simple, the home is a bed, a table, a TV, but the kitchen and bathroom are easy to use, it is very convenient to cook and bathe, and then the heating is also good, plus the environment around the community is not chaotic, Zhang Dongming also chose this.

Zhang Dongming originally wanted to rent for half a year first, but the landlord didn't rent it, so he rented it for a year, which was good, anyway, he lived in it first, so that Bai Yan could feel more stable.

The next day, the winter break was over, and I was going to work again.

Zhang Dongming was a little painful, he crawled out of the bed at nine or ten o'clock when he was fine, and he had to get up at seven o'clock.

In fact, Zhang Dongming is a little standing and talking without backache, it's still early at seven o'clock, but this is the slow-paced life of a small county, of course, no matter how slow-paced it is, Zhang Dongming is a little too lazy this winter vacation, if Mr. Tang is here, he must not be indulged like this, it is too unusual.

The students did not start school until two days later, and the huge school seemed very quiet.

A subject teacher like Zhang Dongming has nothing to do, and he chatted with Lu Yuping in the office after a meeting, and Anna's words were in the office, but Zhang Dongming didn't look at her when he called.

Then Zhang Dongming saw the leader on the fourth floor, their meeting was held by the leader, with a smile and a sunny face, watching the leader have a good holiday, of course, just watching, who knows what is going on.

It's not the official start of school, and the old teacher doesn't have anything to prepare for the start of school, the two of them chatted for a while and Lu Yuping left, Zhang Dongming studied the textbooks and textbooks and saw that Anna hadn't come back at more than eleven o'clock, so he went downstairs and went home.

Anna and Lu Yuping didn't come the next day, Zhang Dongming read a novel in the office all morning, Bai Yan got in the car at one o'clock in the afternoon, and didn't cook when he came back, so he went downstairs to the passenger station after a while.

When the bus arrived at the station, it was still full of people, Bai Yan finally held a big box in one hand and two big bags in the other hand and got off the car with great difficulty, Zhang Dongming hurriedly took over the box, it was very heavy, and he didn't know what it was filled with: "Did you get motion sickness?"

"Huh?" Bai Yan was stunned, she never got motion sickness, but she reacted immediately: "It's okay." ”

Zhang Dongming thought that Bai Yan was going to get motion sickness, so he slowed down for a while: "Then let's go, take a taxi." ”

The bus station is at the west gate of the county, but Bai Yan doesn't know where the house that Teacher Zhang helped her rent is, and it is too difficult to carry this box in her pocket: "Teacher Zhang, it's too heavy, give it to me." ”

"Won't sink for you?" Zhang Dongming walked to the side of the road with a big box: "Why didn't you take a quilt and a mattress or something?"

"It's all in the company dormitory. Bai Yan was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't help it if Teacher Zhang didn't give her the box: "There are still a lot of things, I'll pick them up later." ”

The community is not far from the passenger station, and the two of them arrived within two minutes of getting on the bus: "Right here, the community is a little older, but the surrounding environment is very good, not too messy." ”

Bai Yan hummed, looked left and right, and followed Zhang Dongming into the community.

402, 4th floor, Building 7, Zhang Dongming opened the door and came in with a suitcase, and Bai Yan was stunned at the door for two seconds before following in.

"Look at it. ”

"Oh. ”

Bai Yan's bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom all looked around, and then she was stunned and didn't squeak.

"The house is not very good, and it is a little smaller, but it is very easy to use for cooking and bathing, and the heating is also very good, my house is not warm without air conditioning, anyway, live first, you can live by yourself." ”

Bai Yan nodded stunnedly, if this house is not very good compared to Teacher Zhang's house, it is much better than her previous dormitory, and it is more than a hundred times better than her family's leaky ground-breaking house, let her live in this house, she feels unworthy, and she can't afford to live: "Teacher Zhang... This house... How much does it cost?"

Zhang Dongming knew that this girl would definitely be worried, but this house was the minimum he could accept, Bai Yan was called by him, and he couldn't let Bai Yan be as poor as he lived before: "This is a friend's and relative's house, or it's idle, rent it cheaply for me, 200 a month, rent it for a year, forget it when the contract comes, and bring it to you tomorrow." ”

Bai Yan wanted to speak, but Zhang Dongming smiled: "Don't worry, Sister Dong and I are not able to provide accommodation now, and the salary will be subsidized in this regard, not only you, but everyone." ”

Bai Yan wanted to speak, but Zhang Dongming continued: "You don't have to rush to give me this money, I don't need this money, just give it to me when I have enough money." ”

"Teacher Zhang......"

Zhang Dongming said with a calm face: "That's it, don't be polite to me." ”

Bai Yan bit her lip and didn't squeak again.

The two of them didn't eat at noon, so they simply cleaned up and went downstairs.

Bai Yan had to go to the city to pick up her luggage or something for a while, and there were a lot of things to buy, and the two of them didn't find a place, so they went to a noodle restaurant outside the community.

Zhang Dongming asked for a fried noodles with tomatoes and eggs, and Bai Yan asked for a small plate of egg fried rice, which was not as delicious as the noodle restaurant at the east gate of their community, but the chili oil was very fragrant, and Zhang Dongming put a lot of it.

"You're not scared to live by yourself, are you?"

Zhang Dongming ignored this a little, after all, girls are not like boys, and Gong Fei's girl never dared to live by herself.

"I'm not afraid, I haven't lived by myself all these years. Bai Yan said.

Zhang Dongming nodded, the children of the poor are in charge early, and the hard-working children are early adults, Bai Yan doesn't know how much she has suffered in society over the years, and this is really not worth mentioning to her.

"I won't care if I go to the company tomorrow to report, as I said before, no one in the company knows me except Sister Dong, and anything in the company has nothing to do with me, at least on the surface. ”

"Hmm. Dong Baiyan lowered her head and ate.

"There is a big financial difference between real estate and construction engineering, you are basically starting from scratch now, there will definitely be a lot of people who don't understand, learn more and ask more, Sister Dong will not take extra care of you at work. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Just do your job well, don't think about anything else, let alone worry about my relationship with Sister Dong. ”

"Hmm. ”

Zhang Dongming instructed, and Bai Yan kept eating noodles with her head down.

In fact, Zhang Dongming also knew that a lot of what he said was superfluous, Bai Yan has been in society for all these years, and he doesn't need to say a lot of things at all, just like Chen Jian, he didn't say anything at all.

But Bai Yan is different from Jian Chen, and the situation of the two is also different, so he has to nag.

came out of the noodle shop, Zhang Dongming didn't say anything, Bai Yan first said that she could get the luggage back, Zhang Dongming didn't say much, and then the two of them took a taxi home, and the other took a bus to the city.

Bai Yan and Chen Jian have arranged it, and there will be nothing to do on the company's side for the time being.

Zhang Dongming originally wanted to come back for the New Year to have a meal with Erhezi and talk about the recent situation, but he never caught up with the time, and now that school has just started, there is nothing urgent anyway, so I will talk about it after a while.

I came out late in the morning, and it was already more than nine o'clock when I arrived at school, Anna and Lu Yuping still didn't come today, Lu Yuping didn't have anything, Zhang Dongming hadn't seen Anna since he went to work, I don't know what the situation was.

Then I studied the textbooks, and at eleven o'clock, Anna came.

"So seriously. Anna came in with a smile.

Anna smiled very calmly and naturally, and could clearly feel that it was not pretending, but from the heart.

Zhang Dongming was a little surprised, Anna was still in that state of loss a few days ago, no matter how happy he was, it seems that Anna came out of the pain.

In addition to Anna's state, Zhang Dongming also has an accident, in fact, it can't be called an accident, it is amazing.

Anna cut her hair,

It was cut thoroughly, and the long silky hair was gone, and the short hair that reached the ears was cut.

The point is that Anna who has cut her hair looks better than before, in fact, it can't be called better-looking, it should be said that she looks much more pure and generous than before, and she feels a lot more youthful and energetic.

Zhang Dongming was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "This hair is well cut." ”

"What's good?"

"Anything is good. ”

Anna smiled and didn't say much: "Let's have a meal together at noon." ”

Zhang Dongming said happily: "Still eating?"

"Well, it should be eaten. ”

"Why?"

Anna put a novel on her desk in her bag: "I quit my job, celebrate." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Dongming raised his head and reacted for two seconds: "Resigned?"

"Hmm. Anna's face was very indifferent: "I just finished the formalities." ”

Zhang Dongming eased up, obviously, this was his biggest surprise today.

The job of a teacher is not something that anyone will quit if they say it, and this is a high school, not a rural school, not an ordinary middle school, a county key, or a class teacher.

Anna said it lightly, but for a girl or woman from an ordinary family, quitting such a stable job is by no means a simple and easy matter, and it is not a casual decision.

The Heyue Hotel near the school, the innermost private room.

Zhang Dongming ate a few bites of food, but couldn't help asking: "Why did you resign?"

Anna also ate the dish slowly: "I don't want to do it anymore." ”

Zhang Dongming said: "Have you thought about it?"

Anna said, "Hmm. ”

Zhang Dongming didn't say anything more, obviously Anna had already made a firm decision.

Zhang Dongming was sure that Anna's resignation must have happened during the winter vacation, he didn't know what happened, but apparently Anna wouldn't say it, if she wanted to, she would have said it a long time ago.

Anna took a sip of juice: "You already found out about me and the person on the fourth floor, right?"

"Huh?" Zhang Dongming was a little stunned.

Anna smiled and didn't say much, "I was like that before, and I resigned now because of that person. ”

Zhang Dongming didn't speak, he didn't know what to say, Anna gave him too many surprises today.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, and I may not have a chance to see you again, so I want to have another meal with you. ”

"Where are you going?" asked Zhang Dongming.

"I don't know, China is so big, there is always a place to go. Anna said with a smile.

Zhang Dongming didn't say anything more, he and Anna haven't known each other for a long time, only a year and a half, but this woman left a deep impression on her: "You can call me when you have anything, my number should not be changed if it's okay." ”

Anna didn't respond, put down the juice, and looked at him: "Ask something, I want you to answer honestly." ”

Zhang Dongming said: "Ask." ”

Anna said, "If it weren't for Teacher Tang, would you go up that night?"

Zhang Dongming did not hesitate, and simply said, "Yes." ”

Anna smiled, "Thank you." ”
