It was already late when she arrived at the dormitory, and her roommates were not there, Shi Jiaojiao turned on the light and found that there was a post-it note left by Zhu Qing standing next to the switch: Jiaojiao, help put away the clothes, we went out to eat. Shi Jiaojiao put down her luggage, took back all the clothes on the balcony, and temporarily piled them all on her bed. She originally wanted to go to the cafeteria to eat, but she was too lazy to move, so she ate the unfinished snacks on the road and used them as dinner.

She called her parents and friends to report safety, and after thinking about it, she dialed a string of numbers that had been hanging in her heart, and the mood was very strange when she waited, expecting the other party to answer, and if she really didn't get in touch, she felt a sense of relief. "Hey, Shi Jiaojiao?" The voice on the phone after a long time was kind and pleasant, Shi Jiaojiao squeezed the microphone tightly, and said strangely: "It's me, how do you know it's me?" There was a soft laugh from there, "Guess." "Scared me, I thought you could hear it by listening to your breath!"

Tang Jianyu had just finished eating, standing by the sink and preparing to wash the dishes, after receiving the call, he sat down at the dining table with a smile, he didn't answer Shi Jiaojiao's words, but asked, "Are you back to school?" Shi Jiaojiao nodded, "Well, I just arrived at the dormitory not long ago." "That's good." Tang Jianyu paused for a while, realizing that this sentence might not be easy to accept, and asked again: "Are you still adapting to it over there?" Shi Jiaojiao replied: "I'm used to it now, the people in the dormitory are very good, and classes will start this week." "Well, that's good. What's the matter with the call? ”

Shi Jiaojiao then remembered what was going on, and said: "I went to the town during the holidays, and I wanted to go to the middle school to find you, but I remembered at the door that you would also have a holiday when I had a holiday." Tang Jianyu put the paper box in his hand at a satisfactory angle and said with a smile: "You have been stupid anyway." Shi Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and said angrily: "If I don't see you, how can I pay back the money?" Tang Jianyu asked confusedly: "What money?" "That's the money you paid for sending me to school!" Tang Jianyu was speechless for a while, and Shi Jiaojiao explained first, "I can't figure out the other seven, seven, eight, eight, or eight, but the fare and the money for the hotel must be repaid, and my father said that this is the carriage fee." ”

Tang Jianyu had such a picture in his mind: the straightforward man pointed to his naïve daughter, "Teacher Tang is kind enough to send you, how can we let others pay!" Just thinking about it, Shi Jiaojiao interrupted his imagination and continued: "Dad said that you were kind enough to send me, how can I let you pay!" scolded me for being bloody...... "Tang Jianyu knew that if he laughed out loud, he wouldn't overdo it, and waited for the smile to subside before returning to the earpiece, Shi Jiaojiao was still saying: "My dad blamed himself, saying that he should give the money first, but he didn't think about it!" ”

Listening to Shi Jiaojiao's anxious explanation, Tang Jianyu thought for a moment before saying, "I live in your school guest house, which is very cheap." I'll give me the money next time, but don't forget it. Shi Jiaojiao nodded like pounding garlic, "Mmmm, I will never forget it." Tang Jianyu smiled and asked, "How are you at home?" How is your dad's new job? "It's good, he's having a lot of fun, and he's with his mom again!" "It couldn't be better, and people's spirits will get better and better."

"Yes, thanks to Sister Wenyu, our family is very grateful to her. But she rarely went to the village, and she didn't have the opportunity to talk to her face-to-face. "I'll always go, I'll talk to her when I see you." "Hmm." Shi Jiaojiao was still about to speak, when she heard the sound of boiling water coming from Tang Jianyu's side, she hurriedly said goodbye to the other party and hung up the phone. For Shi Jiaojiao to hang up so simply and suddenly, Tang Jianyu laughed out loud with his mobile phone, he shook his head and went into the kitchen, continuing what he had just been interrupted.

Nights in the town seem to be getting shorter and shorter. Once upon a time, when the sun had set, the shops closed early, and the streets were filled with only the occasional homecoming family who had passed by. At this moment, the lights have just come on, and the staggered light boxes and signboards are full of people who are keen to bargain, and the newly opened food stalls known as Hong Kong-style still attract residents who try new things; The barbecue stall not far away, with the smoke and unhygienic food, makes the gluttonous children unable to take their eyes off...... Tang Jianyu bought a light bulb and came out, and saw a student in his class from a distance, excitedly wearing a strangely shaped doll with his friends. The children found him and laughed and waved at him, Tang Jianyu waved his hand and told them not to be greedy and go home early to sleep.

For the convenience of work, Tang Jianyu finally applied for a chat software QQ account, and as soon as he opened the computer, countless messages came over, and when the school was in a big deal, it was all messages from Shao Wenyu. After the last call, somehow their relationship seemed to have changed a little subtly, Shao Wenyu's enthusiasm increased stickiness, while Tang Jianyu no longer resisted, but always responded.

Shao Wenyu said that Tang Mu's collection of orchids was finally finalized, and the proposed name was "Sushou Orchid", which was jointly published by the local calligraphy and painting association and the publishing house under the Cultural Bureau. Shao Wenyu funded a signing session for Tang's mother, and also found three cultural people from the provincial writers' association to give her a platform. Tang Jianyu felt that it was too ostentatious, and Shao Wenyu said that as long as the old man was happy, "She went with me to pick out the clothes she wore that day, and she was in a high mood all day." Overjoyed! ”

Tang Jianyu didn't know what to say, he tapped on the keyboard, and didn't say a word for a long time. Shao Wenyu generally understood Tang Jianyu, and sent another message, "This is definitely not for you to please her." Over the years, I have probably spent more time with her than your own son, and I want to make her happy purely out of the mentality of a goddaughter, and she can accept it calmly, also because of her openness. Besides, now that the entertainment industry is so hot, I'll practice my hands first, haha. Tang Jianyu was even more speechless, so he had to find an excuse to go offline in a hurry after thanking him.

He sat at the desk, trying to imagine the expression of his mother who was happy like a child in Shao Wenyu's mouth, including the awkward look when his father sent congratulations. What have I been doing all these years? Teaching, going to work as a teaching assistant at a university, being busy sending papers everywhere and writing editorials that I agreed with others...... It's all things that don't end to it.

Only then did Tang Jianyu realize the seriousness of the matter. In the past, even if his mother fried a round egg, she would show off in front of him with the pot. Now, he just experienced a summer vacation a month ago, spent the National Day at home last week, and even had a phone call with his family in the morning! And for such a big thing as the release of my mother's new book, my parents didn't mention a word, obviously they discussed it. Tang Jianyu found that the aging of his parents had entered a new stage: they became quiet when dealing with their children who were not in a good situation, so as not to add to their troubles...... The more Tang Jianyu thought about it, the more ashamed he became, and immediately dialed his home number.

Coming out of the school cafeteria, Tang Jianyu looked at his watch, and if he set off early after arranging the cleaning, he should be able to arrive before the closing of his mother's favorite bakery, and he ordered a celebration cake for his mother early in the morning. "Teacher Tang is eating in the cafeteria today?" The chubby little teacher Zhao gently patted Tang Jianyu's shoulder, Tang Jianyu looked back at his extremely white face, and replied with a smile: "Yes." Not with Xiao Huang? The male teacher collapsed, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I haven't spoken to her for three days." ”

The two walked to the teaching building wordlessly, and Tang Jianyu listened to it from Lao Jiang. Xiao Zhao has recently been offered a position in a better school due to his family, and the file compilation can be properly solved, but this means that he has to be separated from Huang Yu. The school is in another county, the teachers usually work long and fixed hours, and they suddenly have to face the situation of a different place during the love period, Huang Yu can't stand it and clamos to break up, and Teacher Xiao Zhao can't give up such a good opportunity and can't make sense of his girlfriend, so the two have been frozen for several days.

The two walked to the entrance of the floor and saw a woman in a lilac dress standing at the door of the office. Tang Jianyu looked at the woman who greeted him and said hello, "Hello Wang Xi's mother." The woman smiled shyly and said, "Hello Mr. Tang, I'm here to trouble you again!" Tang Jianyu shook his head helplessly, motioned for the other party to come into the office to talk, and the woman shook her hand and said softly: "No need, just say it outside, and I'll leave immediately." ”

Tang Jianyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, nodded and accepted his parents' suggestion, walked to a place that did not hinder others from walking, and said after standing still, "Please speak." The woman may have basked in the sun all the way, her cheeks were slightly red, and after glancing at Tang Jianyu shyly, she said: "Wang Xi was disobedient during this time, thanks to Teacher Tang's help, I can control him, he is very well-behaved and loves to study now." I don't know how to thank you, so I thought I'd like to invite you to a light meal at home and talk about it! Tang Jianyu frowned suspiciously, and politely rejected her, "This is a matter for the teacher." ”

The woman stepped closer, pleading with pleading in her eyes, "It's just a supper, I'm ready." Tang Jianyu finally noticed something unusual, this is how she asked her son to talk several times to no avail, and she came to stop people in person, and her behavior in the past half a month is indeed abnormal when you think about it at this moment.

After the midterm of last semester, Wang Xi's grades dropped a little, and she came to the school to ask for Tang Jianyu's contact information and began to contact him. At first, it was just a short phone call about the student's learning status, and there would be a little text exchange. Probably felt that Tang Jianyu's response was not positive enough, and at the beginning of the new semester, she began to come to school, saying that Wang Xi was addicted to TV and games at home, and she couldn't discipline herself, hoping that Tang Jianyu would come to understand the situation and help educate the children. Tang Jianyu has communicated with Wang Xi himself many times, and there is no such situation, but because the woman insists on doing so, he has to invite a colleague to do a home visit together.

After the home visit, the woman repeatedly came to the school to find Tang Jianyu on the grounds that "the child is not well disciplined, and the adult also lacks education", saying that she wanted to learn to be a qualified parent. Tang Jianyu observed the woman's expression, strung together many details of the past and thought about it, and found that he had fallen for Lao Jiang's joke, "I think she has no hope of remarrying recently, and she has taken a fancy to you." ”

Tang Jianyu quietly distanced himself from the woman, put on the most sincere attitude, and said: "Thank you very much for the invitation, this is indeed what I should do as a class teacher, and Wang Xi is a very good child." I'll take your wishes, but I can't eat this meal, and the school has rules in this regard. The woman showed a disappointed expression and said aggrievedly, "How can there be such a rule, you are coaxing me." You can receive red envelopes, why can't you eat rice? ”

"What are you talking about?" Tang Jianyu's face darkened, and he asked coldly, the woman was frightened, and she also knew that she was speechless for a while, so she replied: "I, I didn't mean you, how could you accept red envelopes." I also heard people say......" Tang Jianyu had completely lost his patience, just as the bell rang for the end of the afternoon self-study, he waved at the woman, "I'm sorry, I still have classes in the afternoon, so I don't have time to receive you." The woman still wanted to explain that Tang Jianyu had already entered the office.
