Chapter 107: Call the Teacher
By the time I brought the water, my father was already asleep. The half-white hair was scattered outside the quilt, and the whole face looked old and haggard, and the eyebrows were wrinkled, and even in the dream, there was not a moment of peace.
I feel a pain in my heart, I once felt that I had never married far away, which is the most filial way, it turns out that filial piety is not always seen, but a kind of giving. Ever since I became an adult, I have given anything for my parents.
When I married Lin Dong, even if my parents didn't agree with me, I insisted on going my own way. Later, when I divorced, I thought about what injuries I had, what sins I suffered, and how I came out of emotional setbacks, but I forgot what kind of state of mind my parents who had been with me at this time.
I couldn't stay any longer, so I turned away and closed the door, glass of water in my hand, tears flowing down the water again.
On the sofa in the living room, my mother had already begun to arrange her clothes and cut threads. I walked over and handed her the water, "Mom, drink it, Daddy is asleep!"
"Well, you put it there, I'll drink it when I'm done with this one!" the mother wore reading glasses and her eyes narrowed slightly.
I hurriedly reached out and snatched the small scissors in her hand, and insisted that she drink the honey water first, despite her objections. "Mom, you don't have good eyes, I'll help you get it. You can call me over when I come back with new goods in the future, anyway, I'm idle and fine, just exercise!"
"I'm going to be a mother, and I'm so childish!" my mother teased me, but her eyes were full of emotion. My nose was sour, and I hurriedly focused on the clothes in my hands.
As the conversation turned to the operation of the clothing store, my mother chatted with me for a while, and I was a little sleepy. I busily sent her to bed, while I sat on the couch and cut the thread. These new clothes are all old, and I can also know from my mother's words just now that my parents are old and their fashion vision can't keep up. That clothing store can't sell well no matter how trendy clothes it sells, so it's better to specialize in clothes for the elderly, just focus on comfort, and it's simple.
I touched the fabric in my hand, and slowly calmed down in the tedious but monotonous movements. By the time I was done, it was already half past eleven, so I rubbed my neck and got up and walked to my room. Halfway through, I turned around and went to the entrance to get my bag, took out my phone from the bag and looked at it, there were no text messages or missed calls in it.
Pei Shaobei didn't contact me, which surprised me, but more of a loss.
This is the second time we quarreled between us, the first time was because of Lin Dong's deliberate instigation, which led to a misunderstanding and jealousy, and for three whole days, there was no contact between us. This time, Pei Shaobei's insistence made me angry and cold, but I knew that this time would never be the same as the last time, and I could wait for Pei Shaobei's apology.
I woke up half asleep all night, and woke up the next morning with a splitting headache and a somewhat airtight nose. I came out to wash my face, and my mother was already busy in the kitchen. I looked at the bedroom door and asked, "Mom, is my dad up?"
"It's okay, just went downstairs for a walk, should be back soon. You can go wash your hands for a while and eat, and you still have classes today. ”
I answered the call and walked into the bathroom and washed briefly, because I didn't come back for a long time and didn't have my toiletries, I didn't have cosmetics in my bag, and I looked at my dark circles in the mirror, a little irritable.
"After washing, come out to eat, I made your favorite xiaolongbao!" The mother's voice was also a little hoarse, but the spirit was okay. When I walked out of the bathroom, my father came back from a walk, I looked at his expression, and saw that although he was a little haggard, he didn't have much other expression, so I was secretly relieved and said busily, "Dad, you have a good habit, and taking a walk in the morning is also helpful to the heart." But pay attention to the weather in the future, and don't go out when there is haze!"
My father nodded, and without much of it, walked past me and went to the bathroom to wash up. My mother hurriedly pulled me and whispered, "Your father's careful eyes will not get better for a while, don't mention that incident, otherwise this meal may not be able to eat!"
I nodded hurriedly, and although my heart was a little blocked, I still smiled and helped arrange the dishes and chopsticks.
The meal was so depressing that I ate a few and left in a hurry.
I took a day off yesterday, and today I have to rush back to ask Yang Lian about what she tried to say.
The alley outside the old residential building was very dilapidated, and there were some bicycles and a few cars of a little age parked next to the road.
How did a divorced woman become an outlier in society?
Is it possible that a failed marriage must be persevered to the death?
I don't understand the psychology of the public more and more now, and sometimes I envy Pei Shaobei's indifference and calmness, at least he never bothered about these unnecessary things.
Pei Shaobei still didn't call over, and I didn't bother to take the initiative again. There is a kind of grievance and resistance in my heart, and I always feel that my initiative is lowly in the eyes of others and even in the eyes of Pei Shaobei. This made Dong Mei's words, the thorns that fell in her heart, go deep into the flesh again and again, and the pain was uncomfortable.
When I arrived at the office, Yang Lian was already there, and I chatted with her briefly and then began to get busy. Although the trial lecture has begun, the substitute teaching arrangement has not come down. In other words, my class time is not less, and as for when Yang Lian will substitute for the class, I also have the final say.
Yang Lian didn't seem to be in a hurry, and only humbly said that she would listen to my class a few more times.
I wasn't in a good mood, and I didn't bother to care, so I just agreed casually. It's just that this Yang Lian is very good at things, and it is an absolute contrast with me. Just look at the fruit platter on the table.
The colleagues who went to work one after another all had a good impression of Yang Lian, and I felt a little surprised in my heart, but I didn't make any comments on it because of my high face. Just watching them get together and laugh and chat, I felt injustice and jealousy.
"Wanwan, did you see it?" Sister Yu took advantage of Yang Lian's time to go to the director's office and walked over and whispered in front of me, "It's only been a few days, and I've already begun to learn to convince people's hearts." You didn't come yesterday, you don't know. The head of the department and the dean came to listen to the lecture, and there was also a dean of teaching in another department. But what kind of identity are we, we were officially admitted. Alas, if you want to say that in today's society, if you don't dredge up some relationships, it's simply difficult to move an inch!"
"Really?" I said casually, but my heart was a little sour.
"Alas, you stupid girl! I'm reminding you, no one doesn't need it! I tell you, this teacher evaluation is not simple, you look at the dean and director's energy, it's not good, we don't know what twists and turns are there!" Sister Yu sighed deeply again, raised her hand and patted me on the shoulder, but it was not particularly obvious.
I looked down at the book, and my head was full of Sister Yu's words over and over again.
I believe that it is impossible for Sister Yu to gossip about this with me for no reason, and something must have happened when I didn't know.
I thought about it and couldn't sit still, looked at the time and walked out with my phone. sent a text message to Pei Zile around the corner, asking him about Yang Lian's substitute teaching, and what the other students in the class had to react to.
After a few minutes, Pei Zile's phone call came, and his tone was up, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Hey, Gu Wan, why are you asking this?"
"Call the teacher, if you are so casual, I will hang up!" I reprimanded with some annoyance.
"Yes, yes, Teacher Gu Wan, don't say it, I originally wanted to talk to you about this alone, otherwise, can I go to your place for dinner at night, and treat me as a spy?" Pei Zile's voice was cheerful and a little tricky.
I wanted to refuse, but I remembered that I had an unpleasant quarrel with Pei Shaobei yesterday, so I agreed. Pei Zile was naturally happy, and briefly talked about Yang Lian's substitute teaching and hung up the phone in a hurry.
I stood on the balcony at the end of the corridor, looking at the empty road below, it was not yet time for the end of class, and occasionally a few students who skipped class hurried by, jumping like fish, so free. I was envious in my heart, but I knew that I couldn't do it so freely.
"Teacher Gu, why are you here?"
A crisp voice sounded behind me, and I hurriedly collected my emotions and turned around and smiled, "Teacher Xiao Yang didn't go to the director's place, why did he come back so soon?"
Yang Lian wore a lotus pink sweatshirt today, accompanied by skinny jeans, looking youthful. The sun behind her shone on her face, reflecting the smile that was very kind.
I remembered the slightly puffy and dark face I saw in the mirror in the morning, and I was so troubled by my inferiority complex that I didn't dare to look directly at her, and I turned my face away in some embarrassment. Step out from the balcony and walk in the direction of the office.
Yang Lian immediately followed, still smiling like a flower.
"The director called me over just to tell me about the trial talk, alas, I'm not afraid of Mr. Gu's jokes, I have too little experience, the director originally wanted me to help you share more class time, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do it. So let me follow you around the clock for this week and the next week, and arrange for me to go to other departments to listen to lectures when there are no classes, ah, it's so sad!"
Yang Lian raised her head and sighed as she spoke, but the end note was deliberately raised, showing joy that was extremely inconsistent with her expression.
"The director values you, you just work hard!" I replied nonchalantly, walked into the office quickly, but accidentally tripped when pushing the door in, and subconsciously grabbed it, but just grabbed Yang Lian's arm who rushed over, it didn't matter this time, I directly dragged Yang Lian to the ground with the suddenly open door, and I pressed Yang Lian's body.
