Chapter 248 Yan Bugui came to visit, and Lao Yuan allowed him to resume work
Zhang Yu went back to the room and lay on the bed and squinted for a while. He drank too much with his master at noon, which may have made him a little drunk.
After squinting for two hours, I got up, washed my face, and rode to Lao Yuan's house.
I happened to meet Yan Bugui coming to the door carrying a gift.
"Zhang Yu, tell me that Lao Yan is here to pay New Year greetings to Principal Yuan."
"Okay, you wait here for a while, I'll go in and say something."
Zhang Yu pushed the car into the yard and pushed the car into the west room.
When I entered the house, I saw Lao Yuan coaxing three little ones to play.
"Dad, Teacher Yan from Hongxing Primary School is here to wish you a happy new year. He is waiting at the door right now."
"Lao Yan? Is Yanbu expensive?"
"Yes, should I call him in?"
Lao Yuan immediately thought that Yan Bugui came to him about resuming work.
"Okay, you call him in, I'll wait for him in the study."
"Children, would you like to go find your mother? Grandpa has something to do."
"Okay!"
Lao Yuan got up and went into the study. Zhang Yu went out and Yan Bugui welcomed him into the room.
He pointed to the study room and said.
"Third uncle, my dad is waiting for you in the study. Please go in."
Yan Bugui nodded quickly, took the gift in his hand, and entered the study.
Mengyi led the child out of the back room, along with Lao Wang and Mengxue.
Mengyi could hear clearly the conversation between Zhang Yu and Yan Bugui just now.
"Zhang Yu, why did Yan Bugui come to our house?"
Of course Zhang Yu knows Yan Bugui’s purpose of coming here.
But Zhang Yu didn't intend to say it. After all, Yan Bugui came here because of him.
If Yan Bugui makes Lao Yuan unhappy, it won't involve anything.
"I don't know either! When I came back, I saw him standing at the door."
"I said I came to pay my dad a New Year greeting."
Mengyi obviously feels that Yan Bugui is not just a New Year greeting.
I have lived in the courtyard for a while. Although I don’t have many interactions with him, I know Yan Bugui’s thoughts and will not come just to pay New Year greetings.
But Mengyi didn’t think much about this matter.
Zhang Yu glanced at the clock and found that it was getting late.
I turned around and went into the kitchen to get busy with dinner.
In the study, Yan Bugui is sitting upright and talking to Lao Yuan about his family's difficulties.
As the principal, Lao Yuan has long been familiar with the family situations of all the teachers. Now Yan Bugui's chatter makes Lao Yuan feel a little annoyed.
He waved his hand to interrupt Yan Bugui.
"Old Yan! I also know a little about your family's situation."
"I know it's really not easy for your family. Aren't you just here to resume work?"
"For an excellent teacher like you, even if you don't tell me, I will drag someone to hire you."
"But you came today, which saves me having to ask someone to send you a message."
"After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we will start school on the sixteenth day. Then, Lao Yan, don't let your guard down!"
"If you are late again, then I will have to ask you to go home and reflect."
When Yan Bugui heard that the matter was done, he immediately stood up and bowed to Lao Yuan.
"Thank you, thank you, Principal Yuan, on behalf of my whole family, thank you."
"Don't worry, I will arrive at school on time on the morning of the 11th. No, I will go and clean the classroom early."
Lao Yuan has said these words a thousand times in a year, but he has said them eight hundred times.
Lao Yuan never believed this kind of guarantee.
"Okay, if you're fine, go home and prepare more lessons. I don't want you to arrive early. I just want you to take the students seriously and not be perfunctory."
Yan Bugui quickly agreed and promised seriously.
"Yes, yes, I will definitely pass on what I have learned throughout my life to my students."
Lao Yuan waved his hand, saying that he did not want to hear such baseless guarantees during the Chinese New Year. Without practical actions, everything is just a loft in the air.
"Okay, nothing happens. You can go back. By the way, you can take this pastry back too."
Lao Yuan doesn’t even notice this gift.
Besides, Yan Bugui is not just paying New Year greetings, he has a purpose. In this case, Lao Yuan cannot accept it.
When Yan Bugui heard that the principal refused to accept the things he had brought, his heart immediately became anxious again.
"No, no, no, Principal Yuan, this is my New Year gift for you."
"There is no reason to take it back, you might as well accept it."
Lao Yuan straightened his body and looked at Yan Bugui with a serious face.
"Old Yan, there are some things you can do and some things you can't do. As an old teacher, you should know this."
"If you simply came to wish me a happy New Year today, I would just accept it."
"But, you came with a purpose."
"Why, do you want to watch me accept bribes? This is pushing me into the abyss."
"If you want to do something like this, I think you need to wait a little longer before returning to work. Let me reflect on your ideological problems at home."
Okay, now that we have talked about this, Yan Bugui doesn’t dare to give any more gifts, and takes the cakes on the table into his hands.
"I'm sorry, Principal Yuan, I didn't think carefully. Don't be angry. I'll take it back right now."
"If you don't have any instructions, I will go back first."
Lao Yuan nodded happily.
Yan Bugui carried the gift box out of the study and saw Director Wang sitting in the outer room.
"Director Wang, Happy New Year."
When Lao Wang saw Yan Bugui coming out, he stood up and replied to Yan Bugui.
"Oh, it's Lao Yan, happy New Year to you too."
"By the way, my daughter and son-in-law live in the compound. As an uncle, you need to help me a lot!"
In fact, Lao Wang had no idea what was going on with Zhang Yu and his family in the compound.
That status is completely the highest in the courtyard, which is also due to Zhang Yu's current status.
However, the two children are young after all, and they don’t think well about some things, so they have to ask me to thank you for your help.
Yan Bugui is such a good person, he immediately understood what Director Wang meant.
"Yes, yes, we will definitely live in harmony. Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will not let them be wronged."
Lao Wang is very satisfied with Yan Bugui’s attitude.
"Hahaha, then I thank you."
"You, Lao Yuan, have finished chatting so quickly. Do you want to stay and have something to eat together?"
Yan Bugui quickly waved his hand. Principal Yuan's attitude just now was noticed by Yan Bugui. After all, he had been issued an eviction order and Yan Bugui did not dare to stay here any longer.
"No, no, when I came, my wife was already cooking. I can just go back and eat."
"You rest, I'm leaving first."
After saying a few words, Yan Bugui carried the gift box and walked out of the courtyard gate.
Lao Wang had no intention of getting up to see her off. After all, their identities were here, and Yan Bugui would not dare to let Director Wang see her off.
However, proper etiquette should still be observed.
Mengyi got up and sent Yan Bugui to the gate.
"Third uncle, the road is slippery, walk slowly."
"Hey! Sorry for your concern, please go back. I will go back in a while."
After saying that, Yan Bugui quickened his pace and left the alley.
Mengyi then turned around and returned to the courtyard, closing the door smoothly.
Zhang Yu leaned out from the kitchen.
"Lao Yan is gone?"
"Yeah, let's go. Our dad will confiscate his pastries."
"Our dad was right not to accept it. After all, Lao Yan's visit this time is not as simple as New Year greetings."
Zhang Yu had already thought of this.
Mengyi walked into the kitchen and took a look.
"Do you want me to help you?"
"No, it will be fine soon. You can go back home and play with the children for a while. Dinner will be served soon."
