"Teacher Ran, my house is here, please come in quickly." After coming out of the library, Ran Qiuye and Bang Gang went straight to the courtyard.
"Mom, Teacher Ran is here." Banggeng shouted as soon as he reached the door.
Qin Huairu, who had heard the commotion inside, hurriedly came out and enthusiastically took Ran Qiuye into the house.
"Teacher Ran, please come in quickly, Banggan, hurry up and pour the tea."
"Okay." Banggeng agreed hastily.
"Hello, Teacher Ran."
"Hello, Teacher Ran."
Xiaodang and Xiaohuahua stood in a row and said hello to Ran Qiuye.
"Hello, Xiaodang. And Xiaohuaihua." Ran Qiuye has a good memory. She has seen both Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua, so she knows them.
"Is Teacher Ran here? Wait a moment, the last dish will be ready soon." Sha Zhu came out of the kitchen after hearing the noise, but Ran Qiuye showed a silly smile.
"I'm causing trouble for you." Ran Qiuye gave him a polite smile.
Seeing He Yuzhu appear here, of course she knew what was going on.
Today's meal was most likely arranged by He Yuzhu.
"No trouble, no trouble. Teacher Ran, sit down quickly and try my cooking skills later."
Ran Qiuye's smile made Silly Zhu happy and even more motivated to cook.
"Teacher Ran, drink tea." Banggan poured tea for Ran Qiuye, showing great enthusiasm.
"Jia Geng's mother, actually, I came with a mission for this home visit."
"The school stipulates that every family that is in arrears with tuition fees must pay all the tuition fees before graduation. I have no choice but to come here." When it came to money, Ran Qiuye felt a little embarrassed.
"Teacher Ran, it's okay, it's okay. We agreed. I'll pay Bangge's tuition for him. You can tell me how much the tuition difference is."
At this moment, Shazhu came out with the dishes. Hearing this, he hurriedly said that he would pay for it.
"Uncle He, my family is rich, did you notice that I sold fishing for money two days ago?" Although Shazhu was willing to be the scapegoat, Banggeng felt it was inappropriate.
If the family has no money and there is no other way, it is okay to ask Sha Zhu to help pay it. But now that the family has money, it is unreasonable to ask for Sha Zhu's money.
"It's okay. Why are you being polite to me? I don't know what your family's conditions are!" Silly Zhu waved his hand and said carelessly.
"Yes, Sha Zhu has been warm-hearted since he was a child. Seeing that our family's life is difficult, he often helps our family. Bangge, you don't have to be polite to your silly uncle. You just need to remember the kindness of your silly uncle." Seeing that Sha Zhu was willing to pay, he stood aside.
Mrs. Jia Zhang spoke hurriedly.
I was afraid that if I spoke too late, I would not be able to pay for it.
"Si Zhu? Why do you call him Si Zhu?" Ran Qiuye looked at Si Zhu hesitantly, as if to see if he was really stupid.
"Hey, isn't this a nickname? Everyone in our courtyard is used to it." Qin Huairu explained hurriedly.
"The name Silly Zhu can be traced back to his childhood. Back then..." Mrs. Jia Zhang is the one who knows the origin of the name Silly Zhu best.
Maybe it was because Shazhu bought a lot of vegetables, or maybe he wanted Shazhu to help pay for his tuition.
Jia Zhang was extremely enthusiastic and explained the origin of the name Shazhu in a few words.
"So that's it! I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
After hearing Jia Zhang's explanation, Ran Qiuye gave Shazhu an apologetic look.
She thought that the name Shazhu meant being really stupid!
"Hi, it's okay. I'm used to being called that. You can also call me Silly Zhu, which sounds friendly." Silly Zhu waved his hand and didn't mind at all.
"Then the tuition fee..." Ran Qiuye glanced at Qin Huairu and Shazhu tentatively.
"I'll pay, I'll pay, I'll pay how much." Silly Zhu hurriedly took out the money, waited for Ran Qiuye to report the number, and after counting clearly, he hurriedly handed it over to Ran Qiuye.
"Then I'll give you a receipt." After collecting the money, Ran Qiuye hurriedly took out a written receipt from his pocket.
"Okay, the food is ready, let's chat while eating! Otherwise we will be cold later." Seeing Sha Zhu help them pay the tuition, Mrs. Jia Zhang was even happier.
"Yes, the food is ready, let's start eating!"
Silly Zhu also greeted him cordially.
Soon, plates of sumptuous dishes were served on the table. In order to take care of Silly Zhu, Qin Huairu even brought out half a bottle of wine.
Although it was just a casual drink, it made Silly Zhu very happy.
After dinner, Jia Zhang, Xiao Dang, and Xiao Huaihua, who had already lost their patience, immediately took action.
Only Banggen, Qin Huairu, Ran Qiuye and Shazhu were not so anxious.
"Teacher Ran, you try my craftsmanship and see if it suits your taste." Shazhu said enthusiastically.
"Okay, thank you." Seeing Sha Zhu's enthusiasm, Ran Qiuye felt a little uncomfortable.
There is nothing wrong with Shazhu's cooking skills.
Ran Qiuye took a bite and praised Shazhu's for making it delicious.
This made Shazhu so happy that he laughed like a fool.
"By the way, Teacher Ran, I heard that you are single now, right?" After filling her stomach for a while, Jia Zhang finally remembered Sha Zhu's contribution and was ready to repay him and help him.
"Well, it's not like I haven't met the right one yet!" Ran Qiuye was a little embarrassed when this question was suddenly asked.
Especially when she saw Silly Zhu's expectant expression, she felt even more embarrassed.
"Yes, it's very difficult for us women to meet a suitable man." After saying this, Jia Zhang changed the subject and said to Ran Qiuye: "Teacher Ran, I'm not an old woman, I'm nosy, you see.
, Silly Zhu is still single now. He is twenty-nine years old this year and is a cook in a steel rolling mill. He earns one month’s salary..."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Jia Zhang's meaning was already obvious.
"That's right, I don't have many people in my family, I just have a sister, but she will get married soon. Let's put it this way, I am enough to eat alone, and the whole family is not hungry." Silly Zhu also began to add to his situation.
"This..." Ran Qiuye felt a little embarrassed looking at Sha Zhu's older face.
"Teacher Ran, come here, have a chicken leg. Thank you for taking me to the library to read. I have learned a lot these days. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't even be able to enter the library." Ran Qiuye was at a loss.
When I was almost unable to get off the stage, the sound of banging came over.
"You are my student, so I should help you." Ran Qiuye glanced at Banggian gratefully.
If BangGeng hadn't suddenly made a sound, she wouldn't have known what to do.
"Banggen, you have to thank Teacher Ran. You don't know, my Banggen was always naughty before..." Qin Huairu also saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly answered, and winked at Jia Zhang and Shazhu.
.
Jia and Zhang are mature people, so they naturally know when enough is enough, and then change the topic calmly.
Only Silly Zhu was a little disappointed, he still wanted to win over Teacher Ran in one go!
It's a pity that Teacher Ran doesn't seem to be interested in him.
A meal, finished quickly.
After everyone had finished eating, Ran Qiuye, who had been feeling uncomfortable for a long time, said goodbye.
