In the early morning, the young sun hangs on the rows of towers, adding a little vitality to this city full of ancient colors.
After completing a set of daily tasks such as brushing teeth, washing face, eating, and spanking children, the adults cheered up, picked up their canvas bags, walked out of the courtyard, and started a new day's work.
As soon as they stepped out of the threshold, they saw a group of people gathered under the big locust tree.
It’s fun to watch, so of course you can’t miss it.
They squeezed into the crowd.
In the crowd, the Liu family's daughter-in-law held her child in her arms, pointed at the big red paper on the wall, and read loudly.
"Announcement... To serve the people... [Little Saplings Thrive Class].
Every afternoon from 4:30 to 6:30... tutoring and guidance on homework.
...take a free approach in principle.
....Need tea.....
It is now proposed that a student will receive two yuan for tea per semester.
Parents are welcome to inquire. The contact address is: the front yard of Siheyuan, the third uncle Yan Bugui.
"
Her look and voice were like a big rooster crowing.
Everyone was a little confused and started discussing:
"Children should have fun after school. Do they still need tutoring?"
"Sa Huan? You don't know that those two bastards in my family have only learned the word 'eat' in one semester."
"Well, it's almost the same. Two of our chairs were broken."
"That is, if you don't do your homework, the father is kind and the son is filial. If you open the book, everything will start to fly."
"Haha, it's a trivial matter to think that the chicken is flying and the dog is jumping around. Do you know what my second dog did two days ago?"
"What's the matter?"
"He was afraid that I would whip him with a belt, so he did his homework haphazardly. We are big bosses, and we don't understand this stuff. When he got to school, the teacher found him, and he took him to the blackboard and scolded him. Now the whole thing is
Everyone in the workshop knows that I was fooled by my son, it’s really embarrassing.”
"Old Zhou, you are right. People of our generation spend all day thinking about how to fight Japanese invaders and have no learning conditions at all. Now that life is getting better, we cannot let our children suffer the consequences of being uneducated again."
For a time, the entrance to the courtyard became the scene of the ‘Parent Education and Children Exchange Conference’.
Parents who have been tortured by their naughty children are full of praise for the idea of cram schools.
They all expressed that they want their children to attend the "Little Saplings Grow Strong Class".
Anyway, the announcement said that this is to serve the public, so there is no need to pay for tea.
So, the fitter master, the welder master, the textile worker sister, and the cook from the steel rolling mill all turned and ran towards Yanbu Gui's house.
chef??
The little daughter-in-law of the Liu family stopped Silly Zhu, "Comrade He Yuzhu, you don't even have children, why do you want to sign up with the third uncle?"
Silly Zhu: "Can't I sign up for He Yuyu?"
He learned from Yan Bugui yesterday that Teacher Ran Qiuye was the teacher of the [Little Saplings Thrive Class], so he felt that he should send his sister to lurk next to Ran Qiuye, so as to create opportunities for the two of them.
Young daughter-in-law of the Liu family: I’m crazy.
...
Yan Bugui had already set up a table in front of his home, with a box stuffed with old newspapers placed on the table.
The crowd that crowded over made Yan Bugui smile from ear to ear.
Uncle Zhang: "Mr. Yan, I'll sign up my dog Dan!"
Yan Bugui: "Okay, Zhang Goudan's parent, are you willing to donate the tea fee?"
Uncle Zhang: "What's the tea fee?"
Yan Bugui: "...."
The eldest sister of the Wang family: "Teacher Yan, write down the name of my second daughter."
Yan Bugui: "Tea fee?"
The eldest sister of the Wang family: "If you want to drink tea, I'll burn it for you when I go home to keep you satisfied."
Yan Bugui: "...."
Soon, Yan Bugui's face became gloomier little by little like the sky.
A total of twenty-three parents registered their children, and not one of them paid.
After the crowd dissipated, Yan Bugui shook the cardboard box and murmured to himself, "It's terrible now. I can only earn two kilograms of stick noodles."
The third aunt came out of the house and shook her head: "I think Li Donglai is just messing around. Why would he be willing to spend two yuan!"
The first uncle, Yi Zhonghai, passed by and said, "Old Yan, if you can't persuade Donglai to do anything, we should stop running this small sapling class. I will explain it to the residents of our compound."
Mrs. Jia Zhang sighed, "You're a mud-legged guy from the countryside. He also wants to do good things, but he doesn't know how heavy he is."
Jia Xudong hummed a tune, "Third uncle, this guy Li Donglai is also like this. I think he thinks he has turned around and his tail is raised. The water in the capital is very deep!"
Silly Zhu's eyes shone: "Third uncle, I'll sign up for He Yuyu. Don't worry, I'll pay for the tea."
Yan Bugui: "Get out!"
....
Rolling Mill Hospital, in the internal medicine clinic.
Li Donglai looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, thinking about how to ask the master to borrow a bicycle.
Ding Qiunan sat near the window and felt Li Donglai's fiery gaze.
Her face turned red with embarrassment.
Yesterday, Ding Qiunan summoned up the courage to tell his parents about Li Donglai's situation.
Her parents both approve of it.
And as someone who has experienced it, he analyzed Li Donglai's strengths and weaknesses for Ding Qiunan.
Mother Ding started from the immediate perspective and analyzed Li Donglai's shortcomings.
He was born in a rural area with a poor family and both parents died. This was considered by later generations to be a perfect background, but in this era, without the support of his parents, life was too difficult for the young couple.
Also, Li Donglai has a younger sister.
Will this sister-in-law bully Ding Qiunan in the future?
Father Ding, however, decided with one stroke that he would decide on this son-in-law.
The reason is very simple. Li Donglai was born into three generations of farm laborers.
In the future, when Ding Qiunan marries Li Donglai, she will have a big tree for shade.
After hearing this, Ding's mother no longer objected.
This background is really great.
Ding Qiunan, who had obtained the consent of his parents, naturally regarded Li Donglai as his own.
Although Ding Qiunan had never dated anyone, he hid in bed late at night and peeked at the manuscript with a flashlight.
Thinking of the crimson-colored descriptions of men in the manuscript, Ding Qiunan couldn't help but glance at Li Donglai.
Li Donglai wore a coarse short-sleeved shirt today.
The exposed muscles of the old tree made Ding Qiunan feel a surge of heat in his heart, and his legs tightened involuntarily.
Just when Ding Qiunan's little heart was beating like "Plop, Plop", Li Donglai walked towards her.
Ding Qiunan quickly lowered his head and took the pen in his hand.
Li Donglai walked up to her and said, "Master, look at your pen."
???
Ding Qiunan glanced at his hand and was so embarrassed that he just wanted to find a hole to drill into.
The pen was taken down.
Ding Qiunan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, tied up the little deer in his heart, and then raised his little head, "Donglai, what's the matter with you?"
Li Donglai smiled heartily, "I have to go out to do errands at noon and would like to borrow your bicycle."
It turned out that I was just borrowing a bicycle... Ding Qiunan felt a little disappointed.
But she still nodded, "No problem, I won't go home for lunch today anyway."
This is Li Donglai, how can he be willing to refuse him?
