Chapter 159: Ji Xia visits his alma mater
In the afternoon, Qiu Xiangrong walked to Nanhe Township with Zhu Lianxin with an expectant face, and because he didn't know where Ji Yang's house was, he asked two villagers on the way. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info people saw that he was dressed plainly, holding a little girl wearing torn sandals, and thought that he was going to Ji Yang's house to climb the relationship. Seeing the trace of disdain in the eyes of the villagers, Qiu Xiangrong was very ashamed, and had to smile to express his gratitude.
Although Zhu Lianxin is only eleven years old, the children of poor families have long been in charge of the family, and they are already quite sensible. Seeing Mr. Qiu's embarrassed smile, she vaguely realized something, this time the guest may not be as good as she imagined.
finally found the door of Ji Yang's house, but saw that the door was closed and there was no sound inside. Qiu Xiangrong stepped forward and knocked on the door in amazement, but no one responded for a long time before he knew that Ji Yang's family was not there.
"Teacher, doesn't senior sister know that we're coming, why didn't anyone stay?" Zhu Lianxin asked.
"I didn't call before I came, maybe something went out." Qiu Xiangrong didn't know whether he was happy or disappointed, so he could only take Zhu Lianxin home. Before leaving, Zhu Lianxin looked back at the beautiful small building, and probably understood in her heart that the senior sister named Ji Xia was very rich. As for why the principal asked Teacher Qiu to visit, it was mostly related to the school's teaching building, and she had heard the teacher mention it.
"Lianxin, can you go with the teacher again tomorrow?" Sending the student to the door, Qiu Xiangrong touched her head and asked.
"Okay." Zhu Lianxin had already guessed the reason and wanted to contribute to the school.
Qiu Xiangrong smiled with satisfaction, even such a young child can understand the difficulties of school, and he still can't lose his face. Walking back to the teacher's dormitory, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky was getting dark. Fortunately, it gets dark later in the summer, and if you go back and forth in winter, you probably need to bring a flashlight.
The teacher's dormitory at Baihe Primary School is a simple tiled house, and only three teachers live in it, and the other two are very old teachers who are about to retire except Qiu Xiangrong. However, although the teacher's dormitory is simple, the teachers are quite good at living, and there are many flowers and plants planted in front of the dormitory, such as spider plant creeper, grape narcissus, etc., which looks quite elegant.
Qiu Xiangrong's wife is an English teacher, named Mei Hanyin, and her clothes are relatively foreign in this place. Mei Hanyin knew that her husband was looking for investment, and as soon as she came back, she asked him what the result was, and when she learned that she hadn't even seen anyone, Mei Hanyin was slightly disappointed. She even wondered if Ji Yang's family was deliberately avoiding Qiu Xiangrong, but after thinking about it carefully, it should be a coincidence that people didn't know that her husband was going.
"Otherwise, I'll go with you tomorrow, I have some impressions of Ji Xia's sister and brother, they used to be quite well-behaved. Look at you, you don't know how to wash the fruit before sending it over, and you won't pick a few good ones. Mei Hanyin picked up a bag of apples on the table and took it to the kitchen to clean.
"No one can see it, no matter how clean it is, it is useless, and I don't know how to explain it to the principal." Qiu Xiangrong is not good at engaging in these things, and letting him give gifts to flatter others is more torturous than going to the construction site to move bricks.
"Say some frustrating words, you still want to talk about such an important thing once, Liu Bei still looks at the thatched house. If this school is gone, the two of us will work hard for so many years, where will we get our retirement salary? "The salary of a primary school teacher is not high, and the key is that he can still get a retirement salary when he is old.
If Baihe Primary School is closed down now, and Qiu Xiangrong and his wife have not reached retirement age, they will have worked in vain for more than ten years. It is very difficult to change careers at this age, and I can't do it as a coolie, and I don't know where to go for the elderly without a field or a house.
At this moment, a teenage boy came out of the bedroom, he saw his mother washing apples, his black eyes flashed with longing, and he said greedily: "Mom, I want to eat apples." ”
Mei Hanyin was about to take an apple for the child to eat, but heard Qiu Xiangrong say: "This is for gifts, five yuan a catty, if you want to eat, I will buy you a few catties of small apples tomorrow." ”
In order to show his sincerity, Qiu Xiangrong deliberately bought red Fuji apples that he was usually reluctant to buy, all of which were red and big. He thinks that Red Fuji is just better to sell, and it is better to buy cheaper cockscombs and the like.
Although the little boy wanted to eat, he did not dare to reach out after hearing his father's words, nodded and went back to his room to do his homework. Mei Hanyin was a little dissatisfied in her heart, but she didn't say anything, but she just worked harder when she washed the apples.
The two of them were married for the second time, Qiu Xiangrong had a very beautiful wife back then, and he disliked his low salary and divorced. And Mei Hanyin admired his attitude of devoting himself to educating students, and also divorced his original partner and married Qiu Xiangrong. Life is okay after the two are together, but they don't have much fun, and they almost put their minds on education.
The only interest is probably that Qiu Xiangrong can write ancient poems and modern poems, and he has nothing to write letters to her. Although writing letters is outdated, Mei Hanyin likes it very much, and they use pen and paper to exchange feelings under the same roof.
After Mei Hanyin washed the apples, she put them all in a basket, planning to dry them and put them up tomorrow. Unexpectedly, the next morning, when Qiu Xiangrong was bagging it, he found that there was one less, and there was an extra apple core outside the window. Qiu Xiangrong immediately thought of his son Qiu Junyan, most likely because this kid was gluttonous and secretly ate at night while they were asleep.
Qiu Xiangrong immediately taught his son a lesson and asked if he had stolen the apple. Qiu Junyan hesitated for a while before admitting that he had eaten it secretly, which made Qiu Xiangrong so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to hit him in the mouth.
"Isn't it just eating an apple, it's necessary!" Mei Hanyin got angry, held her son in her arms, and turned her head to stare at her husband.
"When I was a child and stole gold, I wasn't angry that he ate apples, but angry that he ate secretly. You are also a teacher, you should understand these truths, and educate your child not to spoil him too much. Qiu Xiangrong said solemnly.
"Children are not like this, I don't believe that you didn't steal food when you were a child, so do you steal gold now? A trivial thing is such a big deal, and I turned around and let Mr. Wang next door hear the joke. Mei Hanyin glanced at him.
"I..." Qiu Xiangrong was choked, he really stole other people's fruits and dug up other people's sweet potatoes when he was a child. Taking a deep breath, Qiu Xiangrong said with a straight face: "Forget it this time, hurry up to school if it's not too early." ”
"There's no hurry, it's just two steps away." Mei Hanyin said, this is convenient for living in school.
After dressing neatly, the family of three went out together, and the teacher's dormitory was more than 30 meters behind the teaching building, which only took two minutes to arrive. As a result, before they reached the teaching building, a male teacher who was almost fifty years old suddenly came over panting, walked up to them and gasped for breath.
"Mr. Wang, forgot to bring the key?" Qiu Xiangrong asked, this was Teacher Wang who lived next door to them.
"It's not that you forgot to bring the key, it's Principal Li who is looking for you and asking you to go to the principal's office quickly. This time, you have to seize the opportunity, Ji Xia, the general manager of Dalongshan Spring, came to visit our school in person. Teacher Wang said.
"Ji Xia is here in person, really?" Qiu Xiangrong's eyes widened, and he grabbed his hand with a little excitement.
"What are you lying to, just drinking tea in the principal's office, and her younger brother Ji Yang is also here. People take the time to come over, and they have to go back to the company after talking, so you can go quickly. Teacher Wang urged.
"Okay, I'll go over right away." Qiu Xiangrong let go of Teacher Wang's hand and walked quickly to the principal's office.
Seeing her husband's hurried appearance, Mei Hanyin couldn't help but shake her head and smile, and she also had some expectations in her heart. People come to visit in person, it should not be to come to see the scenery and reminisce about the past, most of them are related to the donation of teaching buildings.
After Teacher Wang gasped, he saw Mei Hanyin, who was wearing a beige floral dress and a full figure, and a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes. However, he is a teacher anyway, so naturally he will not go too far, and he will retract his gaze after a few glances.
"Teacher Wang, it's time for us to go to class too." Mei Hanyin reminded.
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot." Teacher Wang sneered. (To be continued.) )
