Thirty-one
In summer, the city wakes up surprisingly early, and the flowers, birds, fish, insects, and traffic all want to chase the short-lived coolness before the sun comes out. Tang Jianyu came back from running, smelled a faint fragrance, and thought it was a kind of orchid in his mother's flower room that had quietly bloomed again, and when he looked carefully, it turned out to be a magnolia that had grown in a small garden for seven or eight years. By the small tree, Father Tang was holding a cloth and a watering can, and was tending to a strong Junzi orchid.
"Dad, morning." Tang Jianyu walked to his father's side, Tang's father glanced at his son, and then lowered his head to look at the flower, "Well, come and see, this flower is getting more and more squeamish by your mother, I don't know when it will bloom." Tang Jianyu heard the words and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. The father, who has always been unsmiling, also learned from his mother after retiring, and worried about his personal problems openly and secretly.
"Hehe, it's always going to be open, it's always going to be open." Tang Jianyu grabbed the towel on his shoulder and wiped his forehead, and said to his father, Tang's father snorted coldly, dropped what he was doing, and went to the small restaurant. The son who was left hanging out had no choice but to raise his eyebrows awkwardly and follow cheekily.
On the wooden dining table, a pot of white porridge, a plate of pastry and three side dishes were prepared early. Tang Jianyu handed his father a bowl, sat down after holding his own bowl, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and asked casually: "Where is my mother?" "At this time, I must have gone to the vegetable market, use my brain."
Glancing at his father's disgusted but actually intimate expression, Tang Jianyu almost laughed. This smile was caught by the sharp-eyed Tang's father, and he was happy first, "What are you laughing at?" "Haha, nothing." Tang Jianyu didn't hide it, and simply laughed out loud.
"What, you're going to work in the town elementary school until you retire?" Tang's father broke open a scallion oil flower roll and gave Tang Jianyu half of it. Tang Jianyu took it, swallowed the food in his mouth, and replied, "I've been rated as a high school for seven years, and I haven't passed my thirtieth birthday yet, right?" Seeing his son's smug and naïve appearance, Tang's father shook his head, "What about the doctor, your Uncle Chen was a high school student back then, and less than five years after the resumption of the college entrance examination, he is a higher vocational position. ”
Tang Jianyu knew that this Uncle Chen was a brother with a different surname who lived in his family when his father went to the countryside, and later went to live in the city through his father's relationship, and he was one of the few close friends of his father.
He nodded in admiration, took the empty bowl handed by his father, filled it for him, and handed it over, saying, "I plan to try it at the local middle school, and the materials have been handed over." If it does, junior high school and high school can be taught together. Father Tang nodded silently and said, "Then you have to take another exam for your qualifications." Tang Jianyu smiled, "I'm ready, I can take all the teacher qualification certificates." ”
Father Tang couldn't help but smile, showing his neat teeth, this advantage was completely inherited to Tang Jianyu opposite. "The Ministry of Education intends to reform the teacher system in the past two years, and it may change to an audit system." Tang Jianyu ate a piece of dried vinegared radish and nodded thoughtfully, "It also makes sense, it is inevitable that you will slack off with an iron rice bowl." ”
"It's just a little bit of a sprout, not to mention the implementation, let's just say that it will take a few years to form a complete document!" Father Tang also picked up a piece of vinegar radish and said to the vinegar radish: "I approve of it, but there is nothing to do with us people that day!" Tang Jianyu looked at his father and thought of the old gardeners of the village primary school for no reason.
The morning light poured through the small garden, through the corridors, and softly shone on the smooth dining table with clear wood textures, and the temperature rose noticeably. "Ayu, hurry up, bring a small bucket to my mother." As soon as Tang's mother stepped into the courtyard, she screamed urgently. Tang Jianyu glanced at his father, and immediately went to the kitchen to carry a bucket out as he said.
Seeing that her husband also came out, Tang's mother happily picked up a palm-length fish in the bucket, "Look, what a beautiful meal fish, I haven't seen it for a long time!" It's a shame that I went early. The old man who sells fish doesn't know how many people are waiting! Father Tang smiled, he really liked to eat this kind of white fish the most, silver and delicate. However, this fish will die within ten minutes of being out of the water, and it is not easy to buy a live jump.
Knowing that the flowers should have been watered, Tang's mother clasped her palms together and thanked her. As soon as I put my mind at ease, I put on an apron and concentrated on cooking the fish that I had managed to get by. Tang Jianyu saw her anxious roar, and couldn't help but persuade: "Mom! Why don't you take a break and catch your breath, it's only eight o'clock, and you're busy with lunch? ”
Tang's mother listened to her son's words, and her hands didn't stop for a moment, and there was already a fish that had been broken open and the internal organs were removed. "You still say, you kid is the most tricky, when I was a child, I liked to eat this the most, but the fish is a little bit unfresh, and after taking a bite, the whole plate of fish doesn't even smell it!" As he spoke, he looked up and glared at his son affectionately.
No matter how many classes I have taken at school, how many parent-teacher conferences I have held, or how many serious seminars I have held with school leaders who are sitting in front of you...... As soon as he returned to this home, Tang Jianyu immediately returned to his teenage years, as if he could always annoy his parents while enjoying their love.
"Marinate for a while, and it will be fishy and flavorful." Tang's mother came to the living room and saw that both father and son were reading, and she also planned to rest for a while. "You know, Wenyu is a girl with a lot of flowers, and she won't even have a wedding when she finds a foreign husband, so she goes straight to travel and get married."
Father Tang raised his eyes to look at his wife and asked, "What does it have to do with you?" When Tang's mother heard this, she said: "Ah, I'm my godmother, and I don't know where to send a red envelope!" "What does this have to do with children, go directly to Shao Fang's two hands."
Tang's mother was too lazy to pay attention to her husband, and came to ask Tang Jianyu about Shao Wenyu's marriage, and Tang Jianyu dealt with it with "mmmmmmmm Tang's mother had already touched Tang's father's nose, and when she saw her son being so perfunctory, she couldn't help but be angry in her heart, "Don't talk to me, I'll see when you give an explanation to the two old ones!" Tang Jianyu had an ominous premonition, but he didn't expect his mother to be unable to hold back less than a week after he arrived home.
Tang's mother took a black grape from the fruit bowl, and didn't eat it, just rubbed it around in the palm of her hand, and it was the same cliché again: Look at how old you are, you haven't got a family yet, and no matter how busy you are if you don't have a family, it's all in vain. Your aunt and grandson will call people, and when you call me grandma, my mother's heart melts! It's not someone else, someone younger than you, who's from the same school as you in high school, and it's not like you at that time, right? The person married his wife last year, and the company also opened, and it was decent. Work hard to make an appointment with all the top girls, you don't even look at it, every day is busier than the principal! What do you always say, follow fate, I see that you ask me to ask for a Nine Heavens Xuannu to come back......
Tang Jianyu was holding a book in his hand, where could he still read a word, listening to his mother more and more energetic, he had to call "Mom" for a long time, Tang's mother stopped angrily, and looked at her son without blinking, as if she could show him a partner at that time.
"I'm going out, do you have anything to bring?" Tang Jianyu stood up and asked his parents. Tang's mother really thought about it, "The old vinegar has bottomed out, bring the bottle back, it's the old vinegar and not the balsamic vinegar." As he spoke, his son had already walked to the door. Tang's mother found that she was being hung up, and she pounded the sofa angrily, "Look at it, just say a few words and run away!" Father Tang smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Madame's courage is as brave as it was back then!" "This bunny cub is stuffy and shafty, and he doesn't look like you!" ……
