Zhang Tingting and I walked into the house while talking. Dad had already entered the house and was sitting on the coffee table, eating steaming bread and drinking the hot tea that Zhang Wenhong made for him.
A look of enjoyment on his face.
The whole house is filled with the sweet smell of freshly baked bread.
"My eldest daughter, how about you try the bread made by your aunt?"
Seeing Zhang Tingting and I entering the room, Zhang Wenhong brought out a plate of warm bread and placed it on the coffee table, and poured a cup of hot tea for Zhang Tingting and me.
The aroma of tea and freshly baked bread makes it smell particularly warm.
I couldn't help but wonder, what kind of man would be willing to leave such a good woman like Zhang Wenhong and such a lovely girl like Zhang Tingting behind them.
"Tingting, you sit and drink a cup of tea with your sister Hu Ling, and then you have to wash up and rest. Don't be unable to get up again tomorrow morning!"
While Zhang Wenhong was moving, she glanced at Zhang Tingting lovingly and said.
"knew!"
Zhang Tingting nodded, turned to look at me and said: "Sister Hu Ling, I admire you so much. Can I become your teacher? When I am on summer vacation, I can follow you to catch ghosts!"
I can't help but feel a little funny.
This girl probably watched too many movies.
"Of course you can become my disciple!" I looked at Zhang Tingting with a smile and said, "But I have to have a condition to accept my apprentice!"
"This child likes to mess around every day. My dear girl, please ignore her. She only comes up with what she thinks!" Zhang Wenhong glared at Zhang Tingting and said.
"Mom! Why do you keep pouring cold water on me? Besides studying, can't you just support me a little bit with anything else?" Zhang Tingting pouted dissatisfied, looking at Zhang Wenhong with a coquettish look on her face.
"When you graduate from college, your mother will support you in whatever you want to do. Now, don't think about it!" Zhang Wenhong looked at Zhang Tingting and said.
Zhang Tingting was splashed with cold water by her mother, but she was not angry. Instead, she smiled at Zhang Wenhong, stuck out her tongue, and moved closer to me.
"Sister Hu Ling, let's not worry about my mother for now. Please tell me what conditions you need to accept me as your apprentice?" Zhang Tingting said, holding my arm.
Zhang Wenhong also looked at me with some worry.
Zhang Wenhong and I looked at each other, gave her a reassuring look, and then spoke slowly and quietly.
"Not going to college is the biggest regret in my life. I don't want my apprentice to have no education like me. So, you must first go to college before you are qualified to become my apprentice." I looked at Zhang Tingting and said.
.
"So, are there any requirements for the university? Can you accept me as your apprentice no matter what university I get into?" Zhang Tingting asked eagerly.
"The most important thing if you want to learn to be a psychic is your understanding and perseverance. In fact, it's the same as taking the exam. You are a student now. If you have such good conditions but can't concentrate on studying and can't even pass the undergraduate exam, then
I have to think carefully about whether to accept you as my apprentice."
I looked at Zhang Tingting and said seriously: "I don't want my future apprentice to be unable to do anything well."
"I understand!" Zhang Tingting nodded, "Don't worry, there's still half a year left. I will definitely work hard to get admitted to a good university. When I graduate, I can become your teacher!"
"Then have you decided what major you want to study in the future?" I asked Zhang Tingting again with a smile.
"I want to study medicine. I can be both a doctor and a psychic like you in the future!"
This time Zhang Tingting said it without hesitation.
"This is a very good idea. A psychic doctor can treat both real illnesses and deficiencies. As long as you really get admitted to medical school in the future, and if you are still willing to learn after graduation, I will definitely teach you."
I nodded, saying what I said this time was completely true.
"Then I'll go to bed first. I have to memorize vocabulary words tomorrow morning!" Zhang Tingting stood up and said.
"Okay, it's very late, so I won't disturb your rest. It's time for us to leave!" I stood up and said.
"My eldest daughter, wait a minute. If you help our family handle this matter, I have to give you money. See how much it costs. I'll get it for you." Zhang Wenhong smiled gratefully at me and said.
"Just give me six hundred, just wrap it in red paper or a red envelope." I said with a smile.
The conditions of Zhang Wenhong's family are not good, but if I don't accept the money, we will be in debt to each other, which may not be a good thing for me or her.
"How can that be done? Isn't it a little missing?" Zhang Wenhong said a little embarrassedly: "You and your father are still busy with our family so late, and I didn't make you a midnight snack or anything."
"It's indeed a little less!"
Dad took a big mouthful of bread and said, "How about this? Today you will give me the amount my daughter said. In the future, I will often come to your house to eat free bread, which will make up for the less money!"
"this--"
Zhang Wenhong was a little overwhelmed and said: "These breads are worth a lot of money. As long as you are willing to come, I will bake fresh ones for you at any time!"
"Auntie, just pay according to the amount I told you. We have a rule in this industry and we don't talk about two prices."
I smiled and said, "Besides, if Tingting doesn't tell me, will she still be my apprentice?"
"Okay, okay, then I'll listen to you!" Zhang Wenhong also said with a smile: "Then let's go get the money for you!"
After saying that, Zhang Wenhong turned around and walked towards the back room.
While looking at Zhang Wenhong's back, Dad grabbed two pieces of bread from the plate on the coffee table and stuffed them into his down jacket pocket.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
I was a little blinded by my father's behavior. How much he liked to eat the bread made by Zhang Wenhong.
Dad smiled and said confidently: "Anyway, you only charge her such a small amount of money. After she just said it, I can still come here to eat more often in the future."
"Come on, eldest daughter, take this red envelope, and don't forget to come to our house with your dad to eat cakes in the future!"
As soon as my father finished speaking, Zhang Wenhong came out of the back room with a red envelope, held my hand, and stuffed the red envelope into my hand.
"I'll definitely come, I'll definitely come!" Dad replied quickly and patted his bulging down jacket pocket.
It looks like there is no silver in this place.
"By the way, these breads are specially baked for you. Bring them all with you. They can be used as breakfast with milk in the morning, and your mother will not have to make breakfast for you."
Zhang Wenhong said as he took out a packaging bag and put all the bread on the plate into it.
Dad happily took the bag with one hand and muttered: "Oh, you don't have to be so polite. I will come again tomorrow, I will come again tomorrow!"
"Very welcome!" Zhang Wenhong said with a smile.
I took the red envelope handed over by Zhang Wenhong, said politely, and took my father and Shi Shi away from Zhang Wenhong's house as if they were running away.
I secretly thought to myself that if I have time when I go back, I must learn to bake bread! This chapter has been completed!
