It's not surprising that he calls me "teacher".
Therefore, it is acceptable to call Principal Zhong's wife "Teacher's Wife".
"Also, I steamed these sweet potato chips myself. They're soft and chewy, and great for the elderly and children. I'll pack some for you to take home later. By the way, lunch is coming up soon, would you like to stay for a meal?"
Principal Zhong was somewhat embarrassed. He had originally planned to come earlier to find Gu Yunyang, explain the situation, and leave the translation.
Then, we went back to eat.
These days, everyone is short of food.
He still asked Gu Yunyang to get him some grain; otherwise, his family would probably have had to buy overpriced grain.
The quota for urban household registration has been reduced.
In addition, they also have to support their children at home from time to time.
Sons and daughters shouldn't eat it, but grandsons and granddaughters should.
A half-grown boy, eating his father out of house and home.
This is no joke.
They also wanted to give their child some refined grains to nourish his body.
Then Gu Yunyang said that he would bring him some sweet potatoes and dried sweet potatoes back later.
Principal Zhong was somewhat embarrassed.
When things get awkward, your hands get quite busy.
He picked up a piece of dried sweet potato and started eating it, then his eyes lit up: "This tastes really good."
Zhuge Qiao, who was standing next to him, picked up his teacup, opened the lid, and smelled the aroma of tea.
That flavor was truly refreshing, lingering, and deeply satisfying.
"Good tea."
The two expressed their feelings at the same time.
Gu Yunyang smiled modestly: "It's nothing, the sweet potatoes are grown by ourselves on the mountain. They must be a mutated variety, they taste sweet and have a high yield."
We searched for a long time before finding this variety. The tea leaves are wild tea from the mountains, nothing special, and I processed them myself. If you gentlemen like them, I can bring you some later.”
The fruit ripens naturally, and a housekeeping robot can help with harvesting.
He doesn't have to worry about the most time-consuming part of the job himself.
Gu Yunyang didn't feel bad about bringing some for the two of them.
What others consider good, he himself finds ordinary.
Principal Zhong was helpful to him, and he was also a friend of Teacher Xu.
Zhuge Qiao was likely a person of high status, helpful to the country, and upright.
Gu Yunyang was also willing to give it.
They won't take things for granted just because they've already received them, nor will they shamelessly cling to them and ask for more.
However, they wanted to refuse Gu Yunyang's offer to give it to them.
But the tea leaves are so fragrant, and the dried sweet potatoes are so delicious.
The tea is for myself, and the dried sweet potatoes are for my wife and children.
I just can't bring myself to say no.
Gu Yunyang noticed this and chuckled, "Don't worry, these tea leaves really were picked by myself on the back mountain. Hmm, I even asked the village children to pick them. Just two candies are enough to pick several pounds. I roasted them myself, it wasn't difficult at all."
Those dried sweet potatoes take a bit of time to make, but we grow them ourselves in the mountains, so the yield is high.
You didn't know that, did you?
This year, with the commune's permission, we reclaimed fifty mu (approximately 2.7 hectares) of land on the mountain and planted most of it with sweet potatoes.
Gu Yunyang said, half-jokingly, that they wouldn't bother to verify it.
Principal Zhong finally said, "Then we'll accept it without hesitation, but we'll have to pay you. Don't refuse, we can both translate, and our monthly income isn't low. Please don't make us make a mistake."
Zhuge Qiao nodded immediately.
Principal Zhong quickly changed the subject: "Actually, we came here today to ask for your help. I wonder if you know anything about mechanical vocabulary? And English, well, I know you're quite good at English."
