Chapter 422: Meet the Teacher
On the one hand, Qiu Ju and Lin Lao Wu are popular in the town, and on the other hand, everyone wants to get a touch of the fairy spirit of Tan Xiaotian, a little genius - you must know how rare it is to be able to be favored by the Zheng family in the capital in such a small town, in the eyes of many people, this is even more important than being a showman and being a lifter, because being a showman does not mean that you will be able to get ahead, and high-ranking officials have to do it, the horse has to be ridden, and climbed the big tree of the Zheng family, a lifetime of glory and wealth will definitely not be able to run, when will you wait if you don't come to have a good relationship at this time?
Lin Ji workshop is really lively this time, Lin Lao Wu instructed the apprentice to move the wood in the yard to the side, vacate the open space in the middle and set up a few rows of long tables, invite the master of Juxian Lou to set up a tent, kill chickens and ducks, set up a banquet, invite friends and neighbors in the town to drink wine and eat meat, thank them for their help, the cost of this banquet is more than 20 taels of silver, but Lin Lao Wuhua is not distressed at all, compared to Tan Xiaotian's safety, this kind of thing outside the body is really nothing.
But then again, such a big banquet Xi Lin family actually didn't lose anything, because such a treat is also equivalent to giving the people in the town a chance, the so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, because Tan Xiaotian was favored by the Zheng family in the capital, and the Lin family became a big name in Meilong Town overnight, and it is very exciting to have a relative in Qingyun City in the small Meilong Town, not to mention that this is still in the capital, don't look at the Lin family is still a very ordinary family in Meilong Town, with Tan Xiaotian's relationship, Maybe in a few years, you will be able to become the head of Meilong Town, so it is best to take this opportunity to give gifts and pull relationships, there are those who give red envelopes directly, and those who give jewelry and jade. There are also chickens, ducks, fish and meat, according to their respective status, different family wealth, gifts are not the same, although Meilong Town is not a very wealthy place, but there are still some solid families, so in the end, the general account, received more than the spending.
It was lively here, Lin Lao Wu and several of his apprentices were busy greeting guests, but Qiu Ju took Tan Xiaotian and the two of them to Xuewuya - the student took the initiative to meet the teacher. Where are the teachers who come to the door to comfort the students? This has nothing to do with the depth of the relationship between teachers and students, but the rules of etiquette, which cannot be wrong.
Yuan Lang had been waiting for a long time, he knew that the news of Tan Xiaotian's safe return was not too late, and he had already wanted to go over and take a look according to his mood, but he was an old-school scholar who attached great importance to morality and etiquette. In the past few days, because of Tan Xiaotian's affairs, I have taken a vacation. There was not a single student in the school, and without the noise of the children distracting him, he couldn't sit still and couldn't stand still, and wanted to read a book to pass the time. After turning a few pages, I felt bored and threw it aside.
"Teacher Yuan, Teacher Yuan!" Just when I was bored and was about to lie down in bed for a while, there was an excited cry of a child in the courtyard.
"Huh. Every day, the teacher is here. When I heard the voice, I knew that it was Tan Xiaotian who finally came over. Yuan Lang was so happy in his heart that he hurriedly got off the bed and answered loudly while kicking his shoes.
A series of footsteps soon came, and after a short while, Tan Xiaotian rushed into Yuan Lang's house.
"Teacher Yuan, I see you here every day! Are you okay with your old health? The child carried two gift boxes in his hand, and when he met, he first bowed at 90 degrees, then straightened up and said with a smile.
"Hehe, good, it's rare that you are so sensible. Well, you've grown so tall, I remember when you left the year before last, you weren't tall enough to reach my waist, and I haven't seen you for two years, and it's almost up to my chest. Yuan Lang smiled happily, looked at Tan Xiaotian carefully, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that time shuttles, time is like a song, and the changes of many people and things seem to be in an instant.
While she was talking, a shadow flickered at the door, and Qiu Ju also walked in, she was also carrying two gift boxes in her hands, with a smile on her face like a flower, and she had long since lost her previous sorrows.
After some politeness, the two sides sat down in the living room, Tan Xiaotian was pulled by Yuan Lang to look at and look, asked and asked, his eyes were full of gratification, as a private school teacher in a remote town, his greatest wish is to teach a disciple who can get ahead and become famous in the world, and now Tan Xiaotian is favored by the Zheng family in the capital, which is equivalent to half of his wish being fulfilled, how can this not make him feel comforted.
"Teacher, look, I've brought you a gift." As if offering treasures, Tan Xiaotian put the few gift boxes he brought in front of Yuan Lang's table - Boss Lei only snatched half of the gifts in the car, and left half of them, although the packaging was slightly damaged, fortunately, the things inside were not damaged, Qiu Ju spent money to buy new boxes and colored paper from the grocery store in the town and repackaged them, and it was the same as new again.
"Hehe, okay, let me see what kind of gift I bring to the teacher every day." It is a matter of course for students to give gifts to teachers, Yuan Lang said with a smile, the so-called thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the courtesy is light and affectionate, no matter what the gift is, he is very happy to think about himself as an enlightened teacher in the heart of the child.
Tan Xiaotian brought a lot of gifts, there are this year's new tea, there are Yangzhou specialty tea sets, there are inkstones, there are Hui pens, and a thick pile of rice paper, these things are not very valuable in Yangzhou, but they are rare objects in Meilong Town, especially the pile of rice paper, in Yangzhou a penny can buy one, in Meilong Town it becomes Wuwen, the so-called work wants to do a good job, must first sharpen its tools, Yuan Lang is good at painting, and good paper is one of the necessary conditions for painting a good work, for water absorption, There are very strict requirements for breathability and whiteness, and the performance of rice paper in these aspects is the best, Tan Xiaotian knows Yuan Lang's temper very well, and knows that Yuan may not accept too expensive gifts, so he will choose this kind of gift that is not particularly valuable, but very useful to Yuan Lang.
Yuan Lang was very satisfied with the gift given by Tan Xiaotian, fiddling with the four treasures of the study in his hand, and his mouth was full of praise, seeing that the teacher was so satisfied, Tan Xiaotian was also very happy, Qiu Ju smiled silently beside him, knowing that at this time, it was better to let the old gentleman feel the true feelings of the disciple.
