Chapter 443 Zhou Zhiqiang's family's unusual behavior: inviting Principal Zhong to dinner (1/2)



At that time, Gu Yunyang happened to have the book.

Gu Yunyang was almost stunned when he heard the sound coming from the beetle's ear that landed on Ning An.

Is this something a mother would say?

These days, he's also noticed in the Red Flag Brigade that Ning An has to do all the work for the brigade.

Gu Hanping still had him watch over and make him do the most disgusting work for several days.

Normally, she does nothing.

The household chores—cooking, washing clothes, boiling water, and even many of her own tasks that she didn't want others to know—were all done by her daughters.

Gu Honglan was one of the more resistant ones, so Ning An didn't dare to press the matter too much.

There was nothing that could be done about the two younger daughters.

If these two resist, they will be beaten.

Gu Hansheng also tried to persuade them from the side. In fact, Gu Yunyang thought that Gu Hansheng had actually made things worse by pulling his two younger daughters to let Ning An hit them.

"This man is no longer a good match."

After receiving the books, Gu Yunyang originally planned to have a meal at the state-run hotel.

After thinking for a moment, he turned back, wanting to call Principal Zhong.

In any case, they are all friends of Professor Xu Hanshan.

These days, Gu Yunyang also mailed some local specialties to Teacher Xu Hanshan.

Some dried fruit, some cured meat, and some refined grains.

The quantity was not large, but it was divided into several portions, each weighing about ten kilograms.

Try to avoid attracting attention.

Teacher Xu really took good care of the original owner of this body. Now that he has transmigrated, he feels he should repay some of those favors.

Before he even reached his office, he saw Principal Zhong rushing over.

"Principal Zhong? What's going on here?"

Principal Zhong said, "I was afraid you'd left. It's good that you didn't. Come on, I'll take you to the state-run restaurant for a meal."

Gu Yunyang was taken aback and said, "That's what I meant too. I just received my royalties, and the newspaper even gave me some meat coupons. I was thinking of treating the principal to a meal. We're on the same page."

Principal Zhong noticed that his crossbody bag was full and knew that he had brought books.

If they rushed back at this time, they must have come to find me.

He smiled and said, "Let's go. You're just a young man, and I'm an adult. Do you really need to treat me to a meal? I'll treat you instead. Come on, stop talking, or I'll get angry."

Principal Zhong patted Gu Yunyang on the shoulder, pretending to be angry, and said, "Since you know I'm a translator, you know I don't lack this little bit of money."

Translation salaries are indeed quite high, or rather, they are probably one of the most lucrative professions outside of capitalists who receive dividends from joint ventures.

Translating a book can earn you over a hundred, or even several hundred, dollars.

However, Gu Yunyang noticed that his clothes were not in good condition and had many patches.

But considering that people in that era were very frugal and simple, it was understandable that their clothes were patched.

Principal Zhong may have noticed Gu Yunyang's scrutiny, because he led Gu Yunyang out of the school gate and headed towards the state-run hotel.

He chuckled and said, "These clothes only have a few holes, they're still wearable, so there's no need to buy new ones. But I can definitely afford to treat you to a meal."

In reality, although Principal Zhong has a high salary, he doesn't have much money in his own pocket.

He uses all his monthly salary, leaving him with very little money.

Along the way, Gu Yunyang noticed that many people knew Principal Zhong and respected him greatly.

This is enough to show that Principal Zhong is a very good person.

I just found out today, and the other person is even going to treat me to dinner, which shows how serious it is.

So when ordering, Gu Yunyang made a point of ordering several meat dishes and paid for them with money and tickets.

Principal Zhong was too busy to react and looked helplessly at Gu Yunyang, saying, "What are you doing, kid? Why are you grabbing it?"
