Chapter 55: Heart-to-Heart Letters
That morning, Bai Xue rode to work. As soon as he left the door of his house and turned onto the avenue, a girl's voice came from behind him:
"Teacher Bai, wait for me."
Bai Xue looked back and saw that the female student Jin Lian was bending over, pedaling the bicycle hard, and hurriedly caught up from behind.
"Don't rush, pay attention to the vehicle. I'm waiting for you here. ”
Bai Xue stopped the car on the right side of the road as she spoke, and Jin Lian came to Teacher Bai Xue's side in a blink of an eye.
"Jin Lian, why didn't my uncle send you today?"
"My uncle's car is going for an annual inspection, so he can't send it to me."
"Have you had breakfast?"
Bai Xue asked with concern. Because some students live far away, sometimes they sleep too late at night and don't have time to eat in the morning.
"I've eaten it. Thank you, Mr. Bai. ”
While answering the teacher's words, Jin Lian put her hand into her pocket: "Teacher Bai, my uncle also asked me to bring you a letter." ”
Jin Lian said and handed over a letter. Bai Xue felt that this might be a communication letter from parents and teachers, so she took the letter and put it in her small bag. The teacher and student slowed down their driving, and the two chatted as they walked.
Bai Xue looked at this beautiful and studious little girl, and couldn't help but think of her middle school days. At that time, like them, I always had an inexhaustible energy in learning.
"Jin Lian, your uncle doesn't look like a driver."
Bai Xue commented on Jin Lian's uncle for the first time. Jin Lian laughed when she heard this. She asked rhetorically:
"Teacher Bai, what do you think my uncle is doing?"
"Like a teacher."
Bai Xue replied with a smile. When Jin Lian heard this, her eyes widened in surprise:
"Teacher Bai, you really have vision, how do you see it? Why can't I see it? My uncle turned out to be a teacher, and he also taught physics. ”
As soon as Bai Xue heard that she was a peer, she immediately became interested, and then asked:
"Then why did he become a driver again?"
"My uncle graduated from a secondary school and later studied a junior college. After graduation, he was assigned to teach in a suburban school. At that time, his salary was not high, and he worked in the suburbs, which made his life very inconvenient. Because I am not an undergraduate, it is very difficult to transfer to the city to work, and my grandfather and grandmother have been sick and have borrowed a lot of debts. In order to repay the debt, my uncle resolutely changed his career, first learning to drive a big car for transportation, and then changed to a taxi.
"Who else is in your uncle's house?"
"Just my mom and my uncle. My mom is eight years older than my uncle. At that time, my grandfather's expenses were all dependent on my mother and my father. At that time, my uncle was still in school. After my uncle joined the workforce, he was determined to change careers because of the low salary. My mom and my dad don't agree, wouldn't you read your book in vain? My uncle said: Knowledge is in my belly, books will not be read in vain, maybe I will use them at any time. I am the eldest son of the Gu family, how can I let my sister and brother-in-law owe so much debt for me? I'm going to have to think about it. I will never forget the contributions made by my sister and brother-in-law to the Gu family.
Bai Xue said with emotion:
"You have a good uncle, and your uncle has a good sister and brother-in-law. You guys are such a happy family. ”
When Jin Lian heard this, she said proudly:
"People who don't know me think my uncle is my good brother. I have some delicious food, and I will share it equally with my uncle. My uncle has fun and delicious food, and he never forgets me as a niece. ”
Bai Xue admires this family very much. She couldn't help but say:
"Your uncle's sports car is very hard."
"Yes, my mom was always worried about my uncle's safety. My uncle is also really good, he has been running the car for so many years and has never been in an accident. However, what worries my mother the most is my uncle's marriage. My uncle used to make my mother laugh at the mention of it. ”
Jin Lian imitated her uncle and said in a long voice:
"Sister, don't worry. When I was on the roster, I was probably oversighted and my name was inadvertently left behind. If you think about it, how old are the people, and they still care about so many specific things, it's understandable to lose a lot of people on the roster, so I haven't met the right person until now. When the old man discovers that he has made a mistake at work, he will definitely arrange a beautiful girl for me as a remedy for his husband's mistake. Someday, I'll bring you back a beautiful brother and daughter-in-law. Let my sister and brother-in-law open their eyes. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. ”
At this time, not only my mom was amused, but even my dad was amused. My uncle's optimism was also infectious. My dad would joke with my mom at this point:
"The inner master, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, during the New Year's holidays, you ask the Lord of the Stove to bring a letter to Yue Lao, and ask him to carefully check and look up the list of our brothers to see if it is really lost, or the original record is wrong. He has too many things to do with the old man, so you have to give the old man a reminder in time. ”
My mom will climb the pole at this time:
"Husband, it's not appropriate for you to arrange it like this, right? I heard that these two old men are very decent, and they have always insisted that men and women should not kiss each other, and never meet women alone. If I go to the door to ask for advice, people will turn me away, or you go and ask for advice. Although there is a huge age difference, they are all of the same sex, and they will speak without scruples. ”
That's when our whole family laughs.
Bai Xue couldn't help laughing and praised:
"Jin Lian, your family is really a good family full of happiness and happiness, which is really enviable."
