In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Fang took Zhang Keying to the town early.

Originally, he was planning to come by himself, after all, he was not here to go shopping today.

But Zhang Keying insisted on following her, and he had no choice but to know that it was boring for her to run out without anyone at home since her sister started school, so he had no choice but to take her with her.

He came so early because he wanted to buy some gifts before the store closed and visit his old head teacher Liu Zhenghai.

Nowadays, those who can open shops in towns are basically from rural areas. Even some civil servants with iron rice bowls farm some land at home.

The reason why this situation occurs can only be said to be a product of the times.

After liberation, the domestic urban population only accounted for a very small part. Later, after a large number of meritorious personnel and retired personnel were placed, and a large number of factories recruited many workers, the number gradually increased.

During this process, in order to avoid the huge supply pressure caused by the rapid increase in urban population, the state only granted urban household registration to the employees themselves.

In addition, there is a policy that is extremely biased towards women. Children's household registration follows the mother's rather than the father's.

It is this kind of policy that has led to the current situation, where people with iron rice bowls are still farming.

It's busy farming time now, and there are few people on the street. Everyone wants to go home from get off work early to help with the work at home. If you want to buy something and arrive late, you will have to wait until tomorrow.

After buying gifts and some peaches sold at a roadside stall, the two of them headed towards the high school.

The school gate was open, and Lin Fang rode directly into the school without stopping.

It was the second period of class in the afternoon. Liu Zhenghai happened to have no class. He was sitting at the desk near the door writing lesson plans. He heard footsteps approaching from outside the hanging bamboo curtain and took a casual look.

Just as he was about to look away, he felt that the figure was somewhat familiar, but the bamboo was obstructing him, so he didn't recognize Lin Fang right away.

But the next moment, the bamboo curtain was opened, revealing Lin Fang's handsome face.

"Teacher Liu, you are busy!"

Liu Zhenghai was stunned, then immediately stood up with a smile: "Haha, it's your kid, come in quickly!

Principal He has informed the whole school that you are going to give a speech to everyone this afternoon, and I thought it was time for you to come too!"

With that said, he quickly let Lin inside.

What surprised him was that after Lin Fang came in, another incredibly beautiful girl came in behind Lin Fang.

Liu Zhenghai didn't react for a moment. He was stunned and looked at Lin Fang.

Seeing this, Lin Fang quickly introduced: "Teacher, her name is Keying, she is..."

Lin Fang suddenly hesitated and didn't know how to introduce it.

It wasn't that he was too thin-skinned to say that she was his girlfriend, but he suddenly thought of something.

According to local customs, when a man and woman take each other to the home of their relatives and elders for the first time, it is called acknowledgment of the relationship, and the elders also need to give the younger generation a red envelope to show their approval of the relationship between the two.

Although Liu Zhenghai is not a relative of Lin Fang, the teacher is also an elder.

If it were revealed directly that he was the target, then Liu Zhenghai would definitely give Zhang Keying a red envelope.

Now that teachers' salaries have not increased much, Liu Zhenghai only gets a small salary every month, and Lin Fang is really reluctant to let him pay for it.

But his hesitation made Zhang Keying think it was embarrassment. She curled her lips and smiled directly at Liu Zhenghai and said: "Teacher Liu, you are his partner!"

Liu Zhenghai looked at Lin Fang, then at Zhang Keying, and suddenly looked strange, then immediately smiled and said: "Haha, I didn't expect that this kid is so lucky to find a partner like you.

This kid used to be my student, and I often punished him when he was in school. If he has any bad habits later, just come and tell me, Keying, and I will punish him in the same way!"

Then he poured water for the two of them.

Although Zhang Keying knew that this was Liu Zhenghai's deliberate remark, she was very happy in her heart.

"Teacher Liu, don't worry, if he has a bad habit, I will definitely tell you!"

Then he said a few nice words, which made Liu Zhenghai smile all over his face.

This was the first time that Lin Fang saw Liu Zhenghai smiling so happily. It seemed that Teacher Liu, who took great care of him, had never smiled like this during his three years in high school.

However, he immediately glared at Lin Fang angrily and said, "You brat, you brought Keying here without even saying a word!"

Lin Fang smiled bitterly to himself. Of course he knew what was going on and did not defend himself.

"You two sit down for a while, and I'll go to the classroom to arrange the students!"

After saying that, he walked out.

After Liu Zhenghai went out, Zhang Keying glared and said: "Why, you still don't want others to know my identity, right? Do you want to deny it?"

Lin Fang sighed: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

So, let’s talk about the customs.

Zhang Keying didn't show any embarrassment on her face, but was filled with surprise.

"Is it true that there are still red envelopes to get?"

Lin Fang didn't know what to say. He was very worried, fearing that this crazy girl would turn around and find his mother to take him around to all his relatives' houses.

He quickly said: "It's true that there are red envelopes, but rural people are generally poor and don't have a few dollars. It's just a way to express blessings and recognition!"

Zhang Keying curled her lips and said, "Am I doing it for the money? I am enjoying the process!"

Lin Fang's eyes twitched. Sure enough, Zhang Keying was thinking about receiving the red envelope.

I don't know why, but I always feel that this sentence seems a bit familiar.

But at this moment, he didn't have time to think about this carefully, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Don't worry, you will have to go sooner or later. You have to wait until the official decision is made to inform your relatives before you can go, otherwise it will be rude!"

After hearing this, Zhang Keying's expression changed slightly and she sighed: "We still have to wait. I haven't received a red envelope in several years!"

Lin Fang twitched the corner of his mouth, wondering how old you are, and you still want to receive a red envelope.

After a while, Liu Zhenghai came back, then took out a red envelope from his pocket, handed it to Zhang Keying and said: "Keying, take it!"

Almost instantly, Zhang Keying's eyes lit up.

"Thank you, Teacher Liu!"

What else could Lin Fang say, he could only say thank you quickly!

However, he clearly saw that the red envelope was actually just ordinary red paper with obvious staples on the four corners. Obviously, Liu Zhenghai had just made it by temporarily finding red paper.

Think about it, in this era, there are relatively few supplies, and not many manufacturers are willing to produce low-profit products like red envelopes!

And it’s June now, and no one will save the red envelopes from the Chinese New Year until now.

Liu Zhenghai just went out to prepare red envelopes.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then someone came over again from outside the door. The bamboo curtain opened, and the principal He Yuzhu walked in.

"Principal He, sit down!"

Liu Zhenghai nodded and stood up to give up his seat.

Lin Fang also quickly stood up and said hello!

He Yuzhu looked at Lin Fang and said: "Xiao Lin, you kid, you didn't come over to say hello first when you came. If Teacher Liu hadn't told me just now, I would have thought you wouldn't come."

Lin Fang quickly apologized.

What surprised Lin Fang was that He Yuzhu had been chatting with him for a long time, and he didn't ask a single question about Zhang Keying. He didn't pay any attention to Zhang Keying except for taking a look after entering the door.

Just when Lin Fang was confused, Liu Zhenghai beside him rolled his eyes, and then said: "Principal He, this is Xiao Lin's partner Keying. It's the first time for this junior to come to the door. You, the principal, can't do it on purpose.

Pretend you didn’t see it!

Xiao Lin is one of the talented students in our school. If you are rude, you will be laughed at if word spreads!"

Hearing this, Lin Fang immediately realized that he did not count He Yuzhu as an elder. If he really wanted to count, he could actually force him to be an elder.

Liu Zhenghai deliberately deceived the other party and wanted him to draw some blood!

Sure enough, after hearing this, the smile on He Yuzhu's face froze, and he quickly said: "Oh, that's right, Lao Liu, you didn't tell me earlier, I thought she was Xiao Lin's sister.

Look at you, you almost made me rude!"

Liu Zhenghai curled his lips and said nothing, but there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

And Zhang Keying immediately stood up and sweetly called Uncle He!

Now, He Yuzhu had no excuse at all and could only pay.

It's a bit unsightly without the red packaging, but that's all it can do at the moment.

However, when he took out the money, his face changed slightly.

Originally, he thought it would be enough to just give him five yuan and ten yuan, but unfortunately, among the money he took out, except for the one with a maximum face value of fifty, the one with the largest face value was the two yuan one.

.

This is something that cannot be given.

Seeing him reluctantly take out the fifty and hand it to Zhang Keying, Liu Zhenghai quickly lowered his head to hide his smile.

After giving the red envelope, He Yuzhu hurriedly excused himself to arrange some things and left quickly.

As soon as he left, Lin Fang immediately asked in a low voice: "Teacher Liu, why did you have to trick him just now? You are not afraid that he will hate you and wear small shoes for you!"

Liu Zhenghai smiled disdainfully and said: "Haha, what are you afraid of? Over the years, so many people have given me little shoes, and I still can't stay here properly!"
