After the two of them left the office, they walked some distance before Gu Caiwei covered her hands and whispered:
"Am I being too rude just now? But why is my wife illiterate? I really didn't expect that she looks quite elegant."
The best special-grade teacher in a provincial key middle school, his wife is actually illiterate?
Lin Yi thought for a while, if it was the way she dressed up last time, maybe it would make sense.
However, he did not make too many guesses: "Just pay attention next time. My wife doesn't mean to blame you, and Teacher Tang is not a fussy person."
"Let's go!"
Before Lin Yi and Gu Caiwei walked out of the administration building, a terrifying voice sounded behind them:
"What are you two doing here?"
Damn, Xiao Zhao.
Oh no, Lao Zhao!
The two turned around, and it turned out to be the head teacher, Zhao Mingcheng, looking at them with suspicious eyes.
Lin Yimo thought for a moment and prepared to reduce the big issue to a trivial matter: "Let's go find Teacher Tang to ask biology questions."
You can't lie about the location. Old Zhao is really good at checking and monitoring things.
Unfortunately, Old Zhao knew too well what kind of students they were: "You two are the only ones asking biology questions. Why don't you come and ask me physics questions? Why, do you want me to ask Teacher Tang in person?"
Well, I can only tell the truth. After Lin Yi thought about it, there was nothing shameful about it.
"This...it's a long story."
"Come to my office and tell me." Lao Zhao was not on duty today. He was supposed to go home from get off work. It was not so easy after his senior year in high school.
Unexpectedly, I happened to encounter this incident, so I had to turn back.
Lin Yi and Gu Caiwei looked at each other and had no choice but to follow.
"Say it."
They didn't even ask us to sit down first. They were trying us as prisoners, Lin Yi complained in his heart.
He started from the beginning, talking about the bus ride in March to the meeting in the cafeteria at noon, and then talking about sending greeting cards just now.
Lao Zhao nodded: "Well, I understand. Lin Yi happened to meet Lin Yi on the bus today because of his righteousness, but why does Gu Caiwei still have something to do with you?"
Gu Caiwei explained that she and Mrs. Tang were fellow villagers in Yuezhou, and they got along well, so she decided to send greeting cards again.
She finally asked a nonsensical question: "Teacher Zhao, do you know why Mrs. Tang is illiterate?"
Lao Zhao looked around and saw that no one else was present. He thought for a moment that since he had this fate, Lin Yi might have to deal with Teacher Tang in the future.
"It's okay to tell you about it, but don't spread it to class. After all, it's people's privacy."
"Teacher Tang is a third-generation educated youth. His lover was married when he was working in the queue. In those days, it was normal for girls in rural areas to work in the fields since they were young and never go to school."
"and after……"
He hesitated for a moment and didn't know what to say, so he simply jumped over: "Anyway, Teacher Tang did not abandon his wife and children when he returned to the city."
"In order to bring his wife and children back together, he took the initiative to apply to go to the western plateau and taught as a teacher for several years."
"The conditions were so difficult at that time. You can't even imagine now that Teacher Tang's poor health was the root cause of his illness there."
He said that there was also some emotion here: "Don't look at Teacher Tang's serious and rigid appearance. In fact, he is very emotional."
"The postcards sent back from abroad by the students whom Mr. Tang taught more than ten years ago are very precious to him."
Zhao Mingcheng thought of himself. When he first entered the school as a young man, Teacher Tang was already the backbone of the biology group.
What does it mean to be a teacher and what does it mean to teach by words and deeds? It is nothing more than learning bit by bit from the predecessors.
This is how a school's teaching style is passed down from generation to generation.
He sighed: "When you graduate and come back to see him when you have time, Teacher Tang will be very happy."
After all, Lao Zhao was not a sentimental little girl. He quickly calmed down and said, "Okay, I've finished listening to the story. Let's talk about business."
He opened the thermos cup and took a sip of wolfberry tea. He thought for a while before speaking:
"Let me talk about you first, Lin Yi. You should be commended for your bravery. It is fate that you happen to be Teacher Tang's lover. It will not hurt you to learn more from Teacher Tang in the future."
Lin Yi simply said to give up his seat and didn't say much about Li Sancai, so Lao Zhao didn't remind him to pay attention to his safety.
"Okay, you go back first and review carefully. It's the final exam soon, don't just idle around all day."
Lin Yi glanced at Gu Caiwei and felt that she could not be left alone with Lao Zhao: "Teacher, after you finish speaking, let's go back together."
Gu Caiwei tilted her head to look at him and pursed her lips.
This sentence was actually very risky to say. Normally, Lao Zhao would have scolded me with "Who do you think you are and why you bargain with me?" He was always so rude to boys.
I don't know if it was because of Gu Caiwei's presence, but he was still very calm today. After observing their reactions, he actually nodded in approval.
"Okay, I'll just tell you."
"Gu Caiwei, your mother has already told me that you will not come to school next semester to prepare for going abroad. Do you know this?"
Gu Caiwei lowered her head, but could not see her toes, and still did not speak.
"So I won't talk about your grades."
"But I want to say that you can not care, but others cannot care. After all, not everyone can follow your path. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lao Zhao always felt that it was difficult to talk to female classmates, so he stopped talking and just said: "I will tell your mother what happened today."
He turned to Lin Yi again and said sincerely: "Lin Yi, around this time last year, you came to me and said that you were an adult. You have indeed matured a lot this year."
"So you have to know in your mind that studying is the first priority at your age."
What can Lin Yi say?
Of course, he nodded in agreement and kept promising that he would devote himself wholeheartedly to his studies.
Fortunately, Lao Zhao didn't ask him to issue another military order on the spot to "get to the top of the grade."
Lao Zhao felt that the training was almost done, so he waved his hand and told them to get out.
When Lin Yi and Gu Caiwei walked out of the administration building, they found that she was particularly silent, so they asked: "What are you thinking about? Do you want to go to the cafeteria for a meal?"
Gu Caiwei shook her head and suddenly pointed to the left: "Let's go sit over there."
It was a bench next to Broken Star Lake, and could be seen by students coming and going on the bamboo corridor.
Lin Yi felt that sitting there with Gu Caiwei was too eye-catching, but he noticed that Gu Caiwei's mood was different, so he did not refuse.
After the two people sat down, Gu Caiwei said: "Lin Yi, you said that Teacher Tang and Mrs. Tang seem to be so compatible. I didn't expect that they have experienced so many things together."
She actually didn't know much about that era, but she could appreciate the weight contained in Lao Zhao's simple words.
She didn't know how to describe her complicated feelings.
Lin Yi was also touched. This was something he didn't know about in his previous life. He thought about it in his mind: "Maybe this is called mutual support."
"Let's help each other..."
Gu Caiwei chewed these words over and over again, her eyes getting brighter and brighter.
She set her sights on the koi in Broken Star Lake and suddenly said:
"Lin Yi, if..."
"If you tell me now, you tell me not to go abroad..."
