"Young man, we've been chatting for so long and I haven't asked you your name yet?"
Principal Yuan then remembered that we had not introduced each other after chatting for so long.
"Oh, Principal Yuan, my surname is Zhang, and my given name is Yu. Just like my master, just call me Xiaoyu."
Principal Yuan stretched out his right hand, and Zhang Yu quickly stood up and held Principal Yuan's hand.
"Hello, young man, my name is Yuan Wenkang, and I am now the principal of Hongxing Primary School."
"Sit, sit, sit, let's sit down and talk, don't be so formal."
"Your master and I are old friends. We met in a restaurant. Since you are my old friend's apprentice, naturally I treat you as my own junior."
"As for the marriage, my family and I will help you take care of it."
"Try to help you find one that suits your family situation."
"We won't ask too much about the relationship between Teacher Ran and you. You are both adults and have your own bottom line. I don't need to say anything more."
What Principal Yuan means is that since the two of them don't love each other, they shouldn't get too involved. This is not to deny the issue of character.
It was out of protection for Zhang Yu, because the rumors heard during this period were very detrimental to the returning overseas Chinese. Principal Yuan hoped that Zhang Yu could handle the relationship with Ran Qiuye well to prevent future incidents.
There are too many involved.
Although Zhang Yu didn't know what Principal Yuan meant at the moment, he still had to listen to what his elders said.
Originally, the problems between the two people have been clearly expressed, and they estimate that there will not be too much intersection in the future.
"Principal Yuan, the issue you mentioned has been resolved between me and Teacher Ran."
"Teacher Ran also clearly understands my attitude. The relationship between the two of us can only be described as familiar strangers, and we will not have too many interactions in the future."
Principal Yuan thinks this description of "familiar stranger" is very good.
I also greatly appreciate Zhang Yu’s attitude of dealing with problems rationally.
Seeing that the young man was young and the way he handled things, including the way he spoke, was very organized, this made Principal Yuan a little confused. He felt that Zhang Yu did not look like a pure worker, but also had some literati atmosphere in him. p>
This reminded Principal Yuan of an old friend of his, a great working-class representative named Zhang Qiufeng.
"You can just make up your own mind about your matters, and we won't ask any more questions."
"I will let my son work hard on your matter."
Principal Yuan picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.
Zhang Yu quickly refilled the tea, which also meant that the topic was over.
"Lao Ma, are you retiring soon?"
"Well, it's almost time. When I bring this kid out, I can rest peacefully."
After Master Ma finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Yu.
There is no need to hide these things in front of old friends.
This scene also caught the attention of Principal Yuan. This was the first time that he saw his old friend being so interested in an apprentice.
"You're still talking about me, aren't you about to get there soon? We are close in age, and when I quit, you will be about the same."
Master Ma said not to be outdone.
When Principal Yuan mentioned this, his smile appeared a little forced.
"Lao Yuan, you are having a hard time talking. Have you encountered any difficulties?"
Although he knew not to ask, Master Ma still asked after many years of friendship.
Because this old friend, once such a face appears, Master Ma will know that things are not simple.
I won’t say whether I can help, but it’s okay to care.
"Lao Ma, don't ask about this. I won't tell you anything. Just pretend it never happened."
Master Ma Niu Jin was a little cocky and was about to speak. Zhang Yu was below and pulled Master Ma. When Master Ma looked over, Zhang Yu shook his head slightly, signaling Master to stop asking.
Because just now when Principal Yuan was talking, Zhang Yu secretly estimated the time. According to the time calculation, a storm will come soon.
Because this incident was mentioned in the TV series in the previous life. If Principal Yuan failed to handle it, he would be laid off early and suffer the scrutiny of some people.
At this moment, Master Ma also realized that some things should not be asked too clearly, just like drinking in a restaurant. If you can talk, you will naturally talk about it. If you don’t want to talk, everyone will not ask too much. This is also a diner.
A tacit understanding between them.
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. I will know it sooner or later when you want to say it."
Master Ma picked up the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and apologized for his coercive behavior just now.
"Hahaha, that's right. You and I are all diners. We have a tacit understanding between you and me, which is worse than just a young man."
Principal Yuan also picked up the teacup to accompany his old friend and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhang Yu helped to refill the teapot, picked up the teapot, and went to the table nearby to refill the water.
Master Ma glanced at Zhang Yu and asked the old man quietly.
"Lao Yuan, I'm thinking, your second daughter is not much different from me, right?"
"How about your daughter help introduce a few classmates, I guess there will be more chats among their peers."
These words awakened Principal Yuan, yes, why do you have to find someone from society? Anyone of similar age is fine.
Some time ago, I heard my daughter say that many of her female classmates have dropped out of school and are worried about finding jobs or getting married.
Isn’t this good? Both parties have needs and the young man is so good. This idea is okay.
Just as he was talking, the owner opened the door and came in.
"Dad, we are back."
Those who entered the room were none other than Principal Yuan's children, led by the second girl mentioned by Master Ma.
The girl glanced around and saw Master Ma drinking tea and Zhang Yu making tea.
"Dad, we have a visitor."
"Oh, let me introduce to you. The person next to me is an old friend of my father's. Your name is Uncle Ma."
"Hello, Uncle Ma."
The girl turned her attention to Zhang Yu again. Zhang Yu had just finished making tea. When he heard someone coming back, he quickly turned around.
The two looked at each other, admiring each other's appearance.
"Hello, I am Zhang Yu, your Uncle Ma's apprentice."
"Hello, my name is Yuan Mengyi, welcome to my home."
"I can't dream of Yi Fu, but my ambition is Gao Jiaoqi.
Life is fleeting, when will the deer be gone? What a good name."
When the girl heard Zhang Yu explain her name in such poetic words, she blushed for a moment.
Principal Yuan and Master Ma suddenly smelled a different smell, and Principal Yuan suddenly felt a little panicked.
"Well, Mengyi, you take your younger brothers and sisters back to the house first, settle them down, and then come out and have tea together."
"Hmm."
The shyness in the girl's heart has not gone away, so she took advantage of her father's words and went back to the room to hide.
Zhang Yu looked confused, carrying the teapot, returned to the table, and refilled the tea for the two elders.
Sitting quietly in his seat, he found that the two elders were looking at him, especially Principal Yuan, without saying a word, which made Zhang Yu feel uncomfortable all over.
Zhang Yu blinked, lowered his head and took a closer look at his body. There is nothing wrong with him. Everything that should be tied is tied, and nothing is missing. Why are you looking at me like that?
