It was not early to play cards that day, and on the second day, Ma Hua, Fang Xinning, and Cai Jie began to change houses, and Xu Minhua also came after a while. Everyone started together, because there was not much to move, and it was over in half an afternoon. Then, each began to pack up his house. Fang Xinning lived in Ma Hua's room, and Cai Jie lived in Liu Shu's room. Fang Xinning piled a lot of things together, and only took out the commonly used things and put them away.

Ma Hua came over and said, "Teacher Fang, I'll invite you another day, today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and I have to go back to my hometown to send my family to the church." ”

"Are you two together?" Fang Xinning asked.

"No, it's too early for her to go to my house, I'll take her home in the spring." MCA said.

"Then stay safe." Fang Xinning instructed.

"It's so good, the snow on the road has almost rolled the car. Cai Jie's side, you have to take care of it. Ma Hua said, squeezing his eyes.

Fang Xinning understood what he was trying to express. However, after he finished cleaning up his house, he went to Cai Jie's house to take a look, and saw Cai Jie sitting there, leaning against the edge of the bed, worried.

"What's wrong? Tired? Fang Xinning asked with concern.

"I had to go home, and a call came. But ......," Cai Jie said.

"Is there a problem?" Fang Xinning asked.

"Teacher, I want to ask you...... Come with me to my house. Cai Jie said.

"Me? That's not appropriate, male and female colleagues, it's the New Year again. ”

"I played your girlfriend once, you can play my boyfriend once, so that no one owes anyone. Good no good? ”

"Not good." Fang Xinning said categorically.

"Then I'm going to die, and when I go back, I have to go on a blind date and don't let me go." She hid her face with her hands, as if she was about to cry.

"It's not something that can help, it's often more and more helpful." Fang Xinning said again.

Cai Jie didn't speak, just looked pained.

"How can that help?" By the time he said something like this, he was already compromising.

"You just follow me and get home for a meal. Let's just say that we have to learn when we come back. As long as they don't force me to go on a blind date, even if it's a success, okay? ”

"This ...... Let's talk about it again. Fang Xinning said, turning around to go back to his room.

Cai Jie got up at this time, stood in front of him and said, "I don't have time, I'll leave early tomorrow morning and come back in the afternoon?" In this remark, it seemed to be asking for his opinion, but the answer she asked for could only be an affirmative answer.

Fang Xinning smacked his tongue and didn't speak again. Walked around her.

On this day, when it was time to eat, it was just the two of them, and they all simply ate something.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Cai Jie got up early, put down noodles, and asked Fang Xinning to come over to eat. She was dressed up with a red face, like a new daughter-in-law who was about to return to the door.

"I've ordered the car, shall we go downstairs in a moment?" Cai Jie asked him.

Fang Xinning glanced at her. Didn't speak. He didn't know what to say, so he promised her, but he felt a little unreliable about this kind of thing, and he didn't promise her. She would have been disappointed.

"Teacher, do you regret it?" Cai Jie said.

"It's going to be a joke when it gets out." Fang Xinning finally opened his mouth.

"Will we both tell our own jokes?"

"There are no impermeable walls, and your home is not far from here. In case ......"

"It's okay, there aren't so many contacts between Xin County and Mengchong County, you go to my hometown. No one will know you. ”

"In that case, don't say I'm your boyfriend, and don't let relatives and neighbors come to your house to join in the fun."

"Okay, it's a word." Cai Jie wanted to high-five him as an oath, so he had to deal with it.

After a while, a car that Cai Jie was looking for came, and the two went downstairs together. The things they were carrying were prepared by Cai Jie for her parents earlier.

The snow has almost melted where you are walking on the road, but other than that, there is a thick layer of snow everywhere. The driver drove very steadily, and it took about an hour to arrive at the village where Cai Jie's hometown was located. At this time, the snow is half-melted and the streets are muddy, so there are few people walking outside.

Cai Jie said: "Teacher, you have suffered. ”

"Actually, my hometown is similar to here." Fang Xinning said.

Cai Jie is an only child, and there are only parents in the family. Seeing her daughter coming back, Cai's mother counted her down: "People go home on vacation, what are you busy with on vacation?" When she saw Fang Xinning behind Cai Jie, she immediately stopped talking.

"Hello, Auntie." Fang Xinning said. He handed over the things that he had prepared with Cai Jie.

Cai Jie said to her stupid mother: "Mom, this is my colleague Fang Xinning, who works in Xinxian Experimental Middle School and is my mentor. As he spoke, he gave his mother a look, which made her mother fall into a fog, I don't know if this Fang Xinning is her daughter's ordinary colleague, or her boyfriend and colleague. It stands to reason that the one who brought the family during the New Year should be her boyfriend, but the daughter never mentioned the word "boyfriend", and the mother didn't dare to open her mouth, so she only said: "Ah, let's go into the house, warm." ”

Cai's father was watching the stove in the house, listening to the sound of talking in the yard, and knew that his daughter was back. "Why didn't you come back a year ago?" He asked.

"Dad, I'm busy studying, so I'll take some time to come back and see you today." Cai Jie said.

"You said, when you went to school, you said that the study task was heavy, and if you don't come back during the holidays, you won't come back. I think there are also teachers in our village, except for those who are married, there is really no one who does not go home for the New Year. Cai's father said.

"She really loves to learn." Fang Xinning said something for Cai Jie. But this sentence startled Cai's father. He really didn't expect a stranger to come with his daughter.

"Dad," Cai Jie looked at her father's expression, knowing that she was frightened, and said, "This is my colleague in the unit, and also the teacher who guided me. ”

"Teacher Fang, come and sit." Cai's father said.

Fang Xinning sat down in front of the stove and put his two cold hands close to the stove.

"Where is your hometown?" Dad Cai asked.

"I'm from Black Mountain Town, Xin County." Fang Xinning said.

"I know it well, when I was young, I worked in that little coal kiln for a few years. However, for a few years, the coal market was not good, and I couldn't make money, so I quit. ”

Cai's mother pulled Cai Jie to the back room and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Wouldn't you say a word before you came home? How embarrassed am I and your dad? Are you just going to see our buzz? ”

Cai Jie covered her mouth and smiled, but did not speak.

"Speak," Cai's mother snapped, "is it your new boyfriend?" ”

"What do you say?" Cai Jie asked rhetorically, and then left her mother and came out of the back room to pour tea for her father and Fang Xinning.

Cai's mother couldn't help her daughter, so she also followed, and asked Fang Xinning to drink water with a smile.

Cai's father said to his wife: "Teacher Fang is here, call Xiaojie and his grandfather, uncle, aunt, brother, and sister-in-law, and let's have a meal together." He seems to have tacitly acquiesced that this Teacher Fang is his future son-in-law.

"No," Cai Jie stopped her mother and said, "We have to go back immediately, we have to gather to study on the eighth day of the first month of the first month in school, and I have to go back to prepare first." ”

"It's only the third day of the first lunar month, right?" Cai's father reminded his daughter.

Fang Xinning said: "I really have to go back, one is to study, and the other is that we still have projects in our hands to complete in a hurry." ”

Over there, Cai Jie grabbed her mother to death.

Cai's father took out his mobile phone and said, "No matter what you say, there are guests at home, so you have to entertain them well." As he spoke, he was going to make a call.

Cai Jie's eyes were quick, and she stepped forward and grabbed the mobile phone and confiscated it. She said, "Okay, let's have a meal as a family, don't call people from the seven aunts and eight aunts." ”

Cai's father and Cai's mother had no choice, so they had to go to clean up the meals together. A lot of the dishes are ready-made, so it's not a hassle to get this table up and down.

"Come, let's have a drink." Cai's father said.

Cai Jie was surprised to see Fang Xinning integrate into her family so quickly, because her parents are also very traditional people. But today, many things are in plain sight.

Fang Xinning understood that it was best for him to talk less and eat more vegetables, otherwise, if he accidentally revealed some flaws, it would be bad. But Cai's mother seemed to want to know more about him, and always found the right time to ask him some questions: "How many years has Teacher Fang been in class?" ”

"I didn't go to graduate school, and I've been working for seven and a half years."

"Oh, that's really a lot of money to save up for wages?"

"Salary, I really haven't been able to save it."

"Then you have to buy a house in the county seat?"

"Well, not yet, I live in the teacher's apartment at the school."

Cai Jie said: "Teacher Fang is a banner of Chinese teaching in our school, and she has a special research on teaching methods, which is very influential in the local area. Her words reduced many of her mother's curiosity, and there were fewer miscellaneous questions. (To be continued......)
