Chapter 114 An accident caused by giving peaches
There were many students signing up for the school today. Under the leadership of Teacher Wu, Zhang An registered Zhang Bin early and then assigned a dormitory.
Teacher Wu returned to the office and asked Zhang An to do his own thing.
Arriving at the student dormitory, no one has come in yet.
These dormitories are four-story buildings built of red bricks. I wonder if you have noticed that houses built of red bricks are very durable.
Apart from being unsightly, it is still very sturdy after living there for so many years.
At this time, the dormitories had rooms for eight people and rooms for ten people.
Also because Teacher Wu took him there, Zhang Bin was assigned to an eight-person dormitory.
Although there is not much difference between eight people and ten people, the space is still much larger, after all, there is one less bed.
The second aunt and the second uncle made the bed for Zhang Bin, put the wooden box they brought under the bed, and locked it with the lock they brought from home.
At this time, there were no cabinets in the dormitory. When Zhang An lived on campus, he always brought a large wooden box to store clothes or other belongings.
For her son to leave her side for the first time and have to live alone in school for three years, the third aunt felt a little reluctant, and she was not used to Zhang Bin leaving them.
Zhang Bin was always told to get along well with his classmates at school, not to be picky about food, to eat well, and to listen well in class. Once he started talking, he couldn't stop.
"Okay, he's already that old himself, and he won't be able to remember even if you talk so much."
After a while, other people in Zhang Bin's dormitory also came.
Zhang An's second uncle and aunt also greeted the other parents enthusiastically.
Anyway, in the end, it is nothing more than letting all the children live in the same dormitory and get along well and be united.
Before Zhang An left, he went to the office.
Ask your uncle and aunt to wait for you in the car, and go to the office to find Teacher Wu.
Thinking that it would not be good to go there empty-handed, Zhang An picked a bag of peaches from the space and took it with him.
The office at this time was quite large. Basically, teachers of one grade and one subject were in the same office.
Zhang An quickly found the office of the mathematics group, knocked on the door, and then walked inside.
"Teacher Wu, these are peaches grown by our family. Some are late-ripening varieties. Send some to Teacher Wu to try."
Zhang An carried the peach into the office, attracting the attention of many teachers.
There are many teachers whom Zhang An still knows, but it is not certain whether these teachers still remember Zhang An.
"Did you grow it at home? Don't buy it on the street. I will make a mistake."
Wu Zhong took the peach from Zhang An and joked about it with Zhang An.
"Hey, this peach is quite big. You've spent a lot of money on it, Zhang An."
"Teacher Wu, take a look, where can I buy this big peach in the corner of our school gate? They are all grown at home. I just put them in the car. It's not convenient to carry them around."
Wu Zhonghai didn't say anything when he heard Zhang An say that it was put in the car. Just after he took Zhang An and his group to sign in, he saw Zhang An and the others taking down their luggage from the car.
He was still somewhat impressed by Zhang An, because Zhang An was one of the few only-child families in the class.
It is also the only one-child family in rural areas.
He had some knowledge of Zhang An's family before.
A little better than most students, but not by much. It's better than not having too much pressure at home.
Now I see that Zhang An has just graduated. Although he has not been admitted to college, he is now driving a car, and his life should be good.
Originally, Zhang An wanted to treat Teacher Wu to a meal, but Wu Zhonghai gave him a few words of approval.
He said that it was okay to invite him to dinner, but not until Zhang An got married. Why invite him to dinner at this time?
Zhang An also knew what Teacher Wu was like, so he didn't say anything else.
But just now I really wanted to invite Teacher Wu to dinner, because Zhang An may not have seen this teacher and friend in his previous life for many years.
Mainly because I didn't do well in my later life, and I really didn't have the face to visit Teacher Wu.
Finally, after Zhang An chatted with Teacher Wu for a few words, he took down the phone numbers of Teacher Wu's home and office, and gave Teacher Wu his home phone number before leaving.
He did not continue to tell Teacher Wu to please take more care of Zhang Bin, because Teacher Wu was very dedicated to each of his students, and Zhang An did not need to emphasize it.
After Zhang An left, other teachers in the office started chatting with Wu Zhonghai.
"Old Wu, you are a very conscientious student. You even brought something to see you. Which class are you from?"
Several teachers in the office would say with envy.
When Wu Zhonghai heard this, he was very happy. Being remembered and approached by students is something that every teacher feels proud of.
In later generations, many students went to visit him, but now there are only a few. The main reason is that everyone is not in a good condition and does not have the time. More importantly, it is not in the mood to do so now.
Even if I met Zhang An today, it was just an accidental scene, but in the end, he still came here specially, which can be regarded as intentional.
"This is Zhang An, who graduated last year and is in our class. He is a very smart young man, but he just missed getting into college last year. It's a pity. Come on, let's try the peaches that Zhang An brought to me."
Wu Zhonghai took out four or five peaches and divided them among several teachers.
"Oh, this peach is so big, it weighs more than a pound."
The teacher in the office accepted it rudely. This peach cannot be bought with money.
This bag of peaches is the largest one specially selected by Zhang An.
The weather outside was too hot, so they immediately went to the tap to wash themselves and started eating.
"Well, this peach is different. It's so delicious. It's not an exaggeration to call it a flat peach."
"Yes, yes, Teacher Wang is absolutely right. I have never eaten peaches like this before."
When he heard the teachers in the office talking about the miracle, Wu Zhonghai thought everyone was praising him.
This peach looks pretty good, mainly because of its size, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it tastes good.
So Wu Zhonghai also picked up one and ate it, only to realize that the teachers in his office were telling the truth and it was indeed delicious.
I just had a few words with Zhang An about what Zhang An is doing now. Zhang An said that he is staying at home and helping his parents farm.
But he knew that Zhang An had a telephone installed in his home and bought a car. This was definitely not something he could start by farming.
Now that I'm eating this peach, I guess Zhang An's family may grow peaches for sale.
Such delicious peaches are definitely not cheap. If there is a market, you can definitely make a lot of money.
So Wu Zhonghai attributed Zhang An's ability to drive because his family made a fortune growing fruits.
"Teacher Wu, you go back tonight and ask your students if they still sell these peaches. I want to buy more and plan to go to the hospital to visit my friends. These peaches are just right."
At this time, a female teacher started talking to Wu Zhonghai.
"Well, Teacher Li, my student's home is quite far away. It takes more than two hours to come to the county. If we only want a small part, why don't we wait until we have time to go to their house to get it ourselves. Not to mention that it is expensive.
It’s not expensive, otherwise if someone comes to the county town, the money they get from selling fruits won’t be enough to pay for gas.”
Zhang An's family lived in Dahe, Changqing. He still remembered that a trip to the city there took about two hours.
Teacher Wu still considers his students. Otherwise, it would be uneconomical for Zhang An to go back and forth just for ten or twenty kilograms of peaches.
Because Wu Zhonghai knew that if he called, Zhang An would definitely send it over.
If just for Teacher Li, he would have to pay several or dozens of kilograms, he would be really embarrassed to say it.
"Teacher Wu is right. It's not easy for people to come here. We can't let our students lose money. Now the peaches are about to be sold out. Everyone has eaten these peaches. It is no exaggeration to say that they are really good."
"I have an idea. I want some myself. Ten or twenty pounds is not too little, and forty or fifty pounds is not too much. Let's see who still wants it. If we all want it, let's see how many there are.
, if the quantity is large, let Teacher Wu help call and ask. If there is not much, if we really want to buy it ourselves, we can find time to go and buy it from others during the holidays."
I heard Wu Zhonghai say that Zhang An's home is quite far away and it is not easy to go to the city.
There was a male teacher next to him who took over the conversation, meaning to see how many people wanted to buy it. If there were many people, let Zhang An deliver it. If there were few people, forget it. Zhang An couldn't lose money.
These words were echoed by other teachers in the office, and they all said they wanted it too.
Everyone doesn't want a lot, maybe about ten kilograms. At this rate, the entire office already weighs more than a hundred kilograms.
Soon the teacher in the next office also heard the commotion here and couldn't help but come over to see what was going on.
Seeing everyone talking about peaches, I can't help but wonder how delicious these peaches are.
So Wu Zhonghai took out a few more peaches, cut them up and gave them to the teacher next door.
It's not that he can't bear to part with it, but it's just that it's really not enough, and he plans to keep some home for his daughter to eat.
"Well, it's really delicious. Where can I buy it? I want to buy some too."
The last person who passed it on had a bunch of people wanting to buy it.
"Hey guys, you haven't even asked about the price of these peaches yet, are you ready to buy them?"
Seeing everyone saying that you want five pounds and I want ten pounds, Wu Zhonghai had to remind him.
"Oh, Teacher Wu, I have started to protect your students. Don't worry, these peaches are more delicious than other peaches. We can accept the higher price, as long as it is not too outrageous."
"Yes, Teacher Wu, I believe that your students will not kill us. They are all from the school. Let's help him solve some of the problems."
When Wu Zhonghai saw that everyone had made this decision, he took out his notebook and registered it for each of them.
Zhang An should be on his way back now, so he would call Zhang An to talk about the matter when he went back in the evening.
Except for Teacher Li at the beginning, one of them asked for fifty catties, one asked for forty catties, and one asked for thirty catties.
It can be seen that the families of these teachers are in good condition, and they frankly said that the price is a bit expensive. They plan to buy it as a gift to their relatives and friends.
The other teachers all bought about ten kilograms each, and finally Wu Zhonghai decided to buy twenty kilograms.
In total, it weighs more than three hundred kilograms.
Of course Zhang An didn't know what was going on in the office. He was driving home intently.
Maybe he didn't expect to give Teacher Wu a few kilograms of peaches to eat by chance.
He actually received an order for hundreds of kilograms of peaches. This was all the fault of the peaches.
"Second Aunt, it's rare for you to come to the county town. If there is anything you need to buy, please stop by and take a look."
After coming out of school, Zhang An told his second aunt while driving the car.
"What can I buy? Everything in this county is extremely expensive. I don't want to spend it here if I have money at home."
The second aunt refused without thinking. Everything was expensive in the county. Even a pound of meat was fifty cents more expensive than in the town. She was not willing to spend money here.
Hearing what his second aunt said, Zhang An drove straight out of the city and headed home.
"Anzi, that Teacher Wu just now was your former teacher."
Nothing happened on the way home, so the second uncle and the second aunt started chatting with Zhang An.
"That teacher was my former class teacher. He was a very good teacher. Zhang Bin was too honest. He was watching over Teacher Wu's class and he would not be bullied by others. Teacher Wu was usually very strict with students.
"
When they heard Zhang An say this, they felt relieved.
They know what kind of character their son is like, even if he is beaten outside, he will not say a word when he comes back.
"Then Anzi, why don't we prepare something to send to Teacher Wu? It's so troublesome."
In Aunt Zhang's mind, the school teachers must take care of things, otherwise why would they keep taking care of you?
In Lijiacong Village next door, a family's children spent a lot of money to find a teacher through the back door in order to go to school.
"Second Aunt, we don't need to think about these things. I know Teacher Wu well. He won't accept gifts from you. He will be happiest as long as Binzi studies hard."
"Okay, let's just listen to Anzi on this matter. He will definitely tell us if it's appropriate."
Uncle Zhang did not let his wife continue talking. Sometimes people are not familiar with each other, and giving gifts to others will offend them.
When Zhang An arrived at Shiyakou, he unexpectedly met Li Hongbin who had come from the town.
"Zhang An, where are you going?"
"I'm sending my cousin to the county to start school. Are you still coming over now?"
"I'm going to take a look at the house. Someone in the village sold me a beam. I'm here to take a look at the situation."
The house Li Hongbin built was smaller, so he built it faster.
It didn't take long, and it was almost covered.
However, these two people also stimulated other people in the village, many of whom wanted to make money and later find people to build bungalows, even one-story ones.
When Zhang An returned home, it was already late. He went out at around ten o'clock in the morning and spent a little more time at school. It was almost five or six o'clock now.
