This is an era where getting into college means soaring to great heights, an era where opportunities abound for rapid success, and also an era where genuine, unwavering emotions still exist;

Chapter 54 You have banquets every day!

Chapter 54 You have banquets every day!

"Please come in, Mr. Luo."

"Dayong, clean a jar for Mr. Luo to put the food in."

It's winter now, and it's not appropriate to keep Teacher Luo outside the yard all the time, especially since he came to deliver a parcel to Li Ye.

So Li Ye finally welcomed him in, and before he even entered the door of the small warehouse, he asked Li Dayong to serve him a portion of pickled fish.

"No, no, I ate in the cafeteria. I really don't need it."

Teacher Luo refused while swallowing his saliva.

This sour and refreshing taste is too strong.

Lifting the door curtain, Li Ye led Teacher Luo into the small warehouse, and then Teacher Luo was shocked.

"Wow, it's so warm."

"Wow, your dinner is quite rich!"

The fire in the small warehouse is burning day and night, and it is naturally warm like spring. The large aluminum basin is full of pickled fish, and it looks greasy, which shows that the ingredients are sufficient.

The strong impact of touch and taste made Mr. Luo, who had been reserved just now, unable to adapt for a while.

You have to know that coal is now also supplied with tickets. A normal family can light a fire when they get home from get off work and keep it warm until late at night so that they can have a good night's sleep, which is considered "rich".

It's good here, Li Ye. The temperature is kept at 20 degrees all day long. How much coal will be wasted?

Teacher Luo glanced at the charcoal basket next to the stove, which was full of coal, and his eyelids twitched with envy.

[Comparison is frustrating! There is really no comparison between schools and food systems. ]

While Teacher Luo was comforting himself, he unconsciously took the large enamel pot handed to him by Li Dayong.

Only then did he react and quickly said, "No, no, I've already eaten."

"Mr. Luo, please don't be polite. We made this dish ourselves. Please try it and give me your opinion."

Li Ye handed Teacher Luo a pair of chopsticks, and then asked everyone else to start eating.

Hu Man, Li Dayong and others quickly started to scoop up the dishes, and soon filled their enamel pots to the brim.

Teacher Luo's eyelids twitched as he watched - [What a great eater! ]

Looking down at the half-full tank of pickled fish, Mr. Luo no longer felt so embarrassed.

In the 1980s, in some rural village primary schools, each household took turns to provide meals for the teachers.

Teacher Luo was just being reserved and embarrassed, but it was certainly not the case that he lost face by eating a student's meal.

"Teacher, you see, the study environment here is better, and everyone's learning mood is also higher.

Besides, the class is so peaceful now, thanks to our concessions, right? "

"Hmm, not bad, the environment here is really nice. Baji, Baji, hehe."

The hot, spicy and numbing pickled fish made Mr. Luo breathe out in great breath. It was sour, refreshing and comfortable.

Jiang Xiaoyan quickly poured a bowl of water over: "Drink some water, Mr. Luo."

"Yeah," Mr. Luo took it and drank two sips, then said after catching his breath, "I came here today just to take a look. I have to say, the conditions here are really good."

"but."

Teacher Luo changed the subject and said, "This time, the test scores of several of you are not very ideal! Did you encounter any difficulties in your studies?"

Hu Man and others remained silent, swinging their chopsticks quickly, their mouths filled with the fragrant pickled fish, and they had no time to talk.

Mr. Luo was a little embarrassed. He really had good intentions.

This exam had some unexpected surprises like Jiang Xiaoyan, but also some unexpected failures like Hu Man and Wen Leyu.

The college entrance examination is just a few months away. Any candidate who takes the exam will irritate the nerves of him as a class teacher. How can he not take it seriously?

Seeing that Teacher Luo couldn't eat anymore, Li Ye had to say, "Well, they didn't seem to be feeling well those few days, so they didn't perform well. So Teacher Luo, don't mind."

"I'm going to hum."

Teacher Luo choked and had to drink several sips of water before he felt better.

He already has several children, so he certainly knows what it means when a woman is "uncomfortable".

But Li Ye, how come a little kid like you know all this?

How did your parents educate you?

Are engaged children really different from others?

When Li Ye saw that several girls' faces were flushed, he realized that in this era, what he said was a bit casual.

But just as he was about to say something to make amends, Wen Leyu said calmly and firmly: "Yes, I was not feeling well those days."

“.”

Tonight's meal was very strange. No one spoke, and only the crisp sound of the sauerkraut being chewed could be heard.

After dinner, Mr. Luo finally said to Jiang Xiaoyan, "Jiang Xiaoyan, you did very well in this exam. The school believes that you have great potential.

So the teacher wants to hear your opinion, whether you are willing to join Xia Yue and others and concentrate on receiving professional guidance from the teachers."

Jiang Xiaoyan's expression suddenly changed, and she finally understood why Teacher Luo came over tonight.

She asked Teacher Luo: "Teacher Luo, did Xia Yue say anything to you?"

Teacher Luo sighed and nodded, "Indeed, Xia Yue said that you have to cook for others after class, wasting precious study time. According to your current situation, you shouldn't waste a minute on anything other than studying."

“.”

Jiang Xiaoyan's mind raced, and she asked Teacher Luo, "If I study with Xia Yue and the others, can I have meat every meal?"

Teacher Luo: “.”

Jiang Xiaoyan said very quickly: "We had pork elbow stewed with soybeans yesterday, and catfish stewed in an iron pot the day before yesterday.

The day before yesterday, we had chicken stewed with mushrooms, the day before yesterday, we had pork ribs stewed with potatoes, and the day before yesterday, we had twice-cooked pork.

Teacher Luo: “.”

Do you run a restaurant? Do you have banquets every day?

Jiang Xiaoyan then said, "One dime a meal, all you can eat."

[Grass, save a seat for me too. ]

Looking at the remaining pickled fish in the large aluminum basin, Mr. Luo was helpless.

If we follow this recipe, even department-level cadres won’t have that kind of treatment.

Teacher Luo was at a loss for a reason. He knew Jiang Xiaoyan's situation. She only had a few steamed buns and boiled water a day, and the school had never had any relief measures. Now that she had found a place with meals, why would you take her away?

Are you ashamed?

These days the sky is big, the earth is big, and eating is the most important thing. There is nothing wrong with that.

"Okay, this is all voluntary,"

Teacher Luo stood up and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw Li Ye’s new book.

"Li Ye, I've always heard that you've become a writer, but I've never read your masterpiece. Can you let me see the book?"

Li Ye had no choice but to give him the copy of "The Disguiser" he had just opened, which made Wen Leyu pout.

She is Li Ye's proofreader and is thinking about being the first to read the new book!

Everyone saw that they would definitely not be able to do the questions for a while, so they decided to review and recite on their own first and wait until Teacher Luo left!

But everyone waited and waited, for an hour or two, and Teacher Luo's butt seemed to be rooted to the ground, not moving at all.

Teacher Luo has been completely immersed in the exciting plot of "The Hidden".

Hu Man and others were in great distress. After realizing the benefits of Li Ye's golden thigh, the evening lecture time was their life. Every minute and every second was extremely precious to them. Now Teacher Luo was "unkind" and getting in the way, which was really speechless.

Li Ye felt the torment of everyone else and had no choice but to take action himself.

"It's time for the evening reading aloud. Today we will read English Lesson 9 together."

Li Ye took out an English book and began to lead the reading.

Hu Man and others naturally followed, and the loud sound of reading immediately woke up Teacher Luo who was immersed in the novel.

“Oh, this book is great.”

Teacher Luo couldn't put "The Hidden" down. He never expected that Li Ye could write such a book. He was truly a young genius.

But soon after, Teacher Luo discovered another bright spot in Li Ye.

Li Ye's English pronunciation is very authentic, even better than those of the school's part-time substitute teachers.

“Hiss~~”

After Li Ye and his classmates finished reading, Teacher Luo said to Li Ye: "Li Ye, your English pronunciation is so good, how about you lead the classmates to read it in the future?"

"Not so good," Li Ye said without hesitation, "I don't have the time, nor the mood to do things that are thankless."

“.”

Teacher Luo had nothing to say.

The matter of "Huang Shiren" had just been settled, and the parents of Xia Yue and Zhou Chenggong were both called to the school. They finally managed to suppress Li Ye's resentment and restore peace to the repeat class.

Now you want Li Ye to help those who laughed at him. Do you really think Director Li will not lower himself to pick a fight with a few students?

"That's fine! The main reason is that Teacher Ma has something going on at home, and Teacher Ke has asked for leave again. There is no English teacher in school these days, and I am just worrying for nothing."

"Teacher Ke asked for leave?"

Li Ye looked at Wen Leyu in confusion. Why didn’t this little mute tell him?
