Chapter 106: Help for free
Xiao Xuanran looked at him and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
The old principal said, "There is something I want you to help me with, can you go to my office and sit down?" ”
Looking at the old man, the way he spoke made her unable to refuse, and she nodded.
When she arrived at the principal's office, Xiao Xuanran knew that this old gentleman was the principal of the elementary school, and she didn't want to waste time, so she spoke first: "May I ask the principal if there is anything we need help with?" ”
The principal seemed to know that this was a reluctant invitation, but he still spoke, "This is the case, although the town has developed tourism in recent years, and the economy is better than before, but our educational resources here have not been able to keep up, the young ones have gone outside to develop, and the ones who stayed in the town are some older ones." ”
After speaking, he looked at Xiao Xuanran and said seriously: "You are one of the few people who are willing to come back, I have also inquired in the past few days, and I heard that you have plans to stay and live permanently, so I want to ask if you can come to our primary school to teach these children English, we have no English teachers here, and no one teaches music and physical education, so children can only take Chinese and mathematics classes." ”
What the principal said was very pitiful, and Xiao Xuanran almost agreed immediately.
The principal continued: "I know this request is a bit excessive, but I still want to give it a try, and I am about to retire, and I will not be able to manage it in the future, so I want to fight for the children at the end, and I hope you can teach them." ”
Xiao Xuanran looked at the principal's embarrassed face, and he knew that he was volunteering. However, the two of them are not short of money now, it seems that it doesn't matter, Xiao Xuanran wondered if Zhou Jian would agree.
The principal thought that Xiao Xuanran hesitated, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, it won't be long, we will retire in May next year, but the Education Bureau promised me that I will definitely send relevant teachers over before I retire next year, you just need to teach for two months, so that the children can have an understanding of these knowledge before." ”
The principal said so, and it was not a difficult thing to agree to, Xiao Xuanran didn't care what Zhou Jian thought, she agreed for Zhou Jian.
Walking out of the gate of the school, Xiao Xuanran looked at Zhou Jian, who had been holding his hand and did not speak, and asked, "You don't have any opinion on coming here to teach English to children, right?" ”
Zhou Jian smiled, "Mrs. Zhou, you have agreed, Mr. Zhou dares to have any opinions." ”
"Yes." After speaking, she took Zhou Jian's hand and walked back happily.
The two of them returned home, Xiao Xuanran was ready to cook for Zhou Jian, although there is little land in this big ravine, but there are still many people who grow their own vegetables, yesterday Sister Miao next door sent a lot of home-grown vegetables, Xiao Xuanran doesn't want to waste, this kind of coming out is not easy.
It's been a long time since he has eaten Xiao Xuanran's cooking, so he is still very happy, he is standing at the door of the kitchen, watching Xiao Xuanran busy inside, and suddenly feels that this is also a very happy feeling.
In Qingshan Manor, the atmosphere at the dinner table was very stiff, no one spoke, Yun Si was also very embarrassed to live here now, Zhou Jian didn't know where she had gone now, she always felt that she shouldn't stay here now, but she didn't know how to tell Tong Dongdong, after all, Tong Dongdong was in a bad mood now.
Zhou Huadong had no appetite to eat at all, he looked at Tong Dongdong, who agreed to have no appetite to eat, he sighed heavily, he now began to wonder if he had forced Zhou Jian's kid too hard, so he just left.
He glanced at Yun Si, who was sitting quietly in his place, and was actually very tormented, and then looked at Tong Dongdong, if they had done something wrong.
Zhou Huadong comforted Tong Dongdong, who had a sad face, and said: "Let's eat, now we don't know where he is, he loves to come back or not, and it doesn't matter if he comes back in the future, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, we just take care of ourselves." Don't think about it so much, let's eat. ”
Tong Dongdong nodded, in fact, he had been a little excited about doing things a while ago, and he was angry that Zhou Jian, who had never resisted them, was suddenly disobedient, and he was also angry that Zhou Jian wanted to marry a woman from such a family.
Speaking of this matter, Tong Dongdong looked at Yun Si sitting next to him, this matter was always done without consideration, which was also a little sorry for Yun Si, but it was better to explain this matter clearly earlier.
After dinner, Tong Dongdong called Yun Si to her room. In fact, Yun Si probably knew what Tong Dongdong was going to say to herself, so when Tong Dongdong said sorry to herself, she was very calm.
She looked at Tong Dongdong quietly, still looking like Tong Dongdong liked the well-behaved appearance, and said: "Auntie, you are not sorry, I am very happy to accompany you here during this time, since you think it is not suitable for me to live here now, then I will go back tomorrow, I will often come to see you and my uncle when I have time in the future." ”
Listening to Yun Si's words, Tong Dongdong felt more and more that Yun Si in front of him was a sensible and well-behaved child, but he felt more and more that Xiao Xuanran and Yun Si were far behind, but there was no way, why did Zhou Jian like Xiao Xuanran so much this time? Tong Dongdong felt that looking at Yun Si in front of him, he was becoming more and more unable to figure it out.
It's the end of the year, this is the first year that Zhou Jian and Xiao Xuanran have spent together, although the two of them have no experience in buying New Year's goods before, but for the matter of buying, buying, buying, buying, Xiao Xuanran has always been self-taught, and Zhou Jian and Zhou Jian have bought all the things they will need.
Zhou Jian looked at the trunk of his car and was deeply worried, if those old guys from Cangnan Real Estate collapsed the company, how would he support his wife in the future.
The two of them cleaned the house back and forth, in fact, many things that Xiao Xuanran had cleaned before were also freshly replaced, and the home was also very clean, but Zhou Jian felt that the days when everything with Xiao Xuanran needed to do it himself was very similar to what an ordinary couple would do, in fact, this is also what he wants.
The custom of Yuxi is to dance the lion during the New Year, and the town is very lively for several days in a row.
Zhou Jian was also infected by such a lively atmosphere for the first time, and he was in the impression that his memory of the New Year had always been cold, in that military aircraft compound, Zhou Huadong was very strict with him, and he couldn't go out to play, and then he grew up, and he was also alone during the New Year, and he didn't experience the excitement of the New Year.
Speaking of people in their thirties, this is the first time that I feel that the Chinese New Year is different. He looked at Xiao Xuanran standing beside him, looking at her quiet and beautiful side face, he had never been so sure as he was now, and it was a very correct thing to firmly keep Xiao Xuanran in his life.
After watching the lion dance, Zhou Jian took Xiao Xuanran's hand and quietly walked towards the small house, which was their home.
Winter goes to spring, the lively town has returned to its previous calm, the people who go to work and school have left the town, the streets of Xiao Xuanran have been deserted again, and the primary school in the town has also opened.
The principal led Xiao Xuanran to the third-grade classroom, while Zhou Jian went to the fifth-grade classroom, probably because Zhou Jian was more serious, the principal was worried that Zhou Jian would scare the children into crying, Xiao Xuanran also felt that the principal's arrangement was very reasonable.
In fact, Xiao Xuanran likes children very much, and when she arrives in the classroom, she quickly adapts to how to get along with children, what kind of way to teach children, and there are still many children around her after class. Zhou Jian, who came over after class, saw this scene, Xiao Xuanran, who was standing among the children, smiled happily, and he suddenly felt that it was time for them to have a child now.
Probably feeling a different way of getting up, Xiao Xuanran turned her head to look outside the classroom, looked at Zhou Jian who was standing outside, she said something to the child and walked out, took Zhou Jian's hand and left the teaching building.
Although the principal asked two people to come to class, in fact, there were only a few classes a week, mainly to let them understand and adapt to it first, so they could leave after class, and there was no need to prepare for the class strictly, which was interesting.
