Chapter 70 The Boss’s Wife

Yu Xiangwan spoke frankly, and Fang Mei really liked this kind of frank personality.

I do need it, but I don’t want all of it. This “degree” is just right.

Fang Mei smiled brightly: "Okay, I also need to go home, I'll take you to our street."

Yu Xiangwan thought about it and told them the purpose of their visit.

"Then you've made the right choice. There are many great art teachers living in our area." Fang Mei whispered.

She secretly marveled that there were still people looking for art teachers for their children.

After all, in the current situation, teachers are a profession that people don’t like to approach, and some people with bad intentions will find fault with teachers.

"But it seems that two teachers have recently returned to their hometowns... you know."

Yu Xiangwan was also worried about this.

She was afraid that Xiao Xiao would run into people who liked to smash, loot and burn things when he came to class.

Yu Xiangwan could only say: "Let's go and take a look at the situation."

If it really doesn't work, she won't force it.

After all, safety is more important than learning.

After getting off the boat, Fang Mei enthusiastically led the way in front and explained everything to them like a tour guide.

Yu Xiangwan felt the fun.

Every city has its own unique memory.

"We're here. This is our street," Fang Mei said, holding Ruirui's hand as she walked in front. "This is my home."

Fang Mei's house is the first one on the street.

Yu Xiangwan didn't expect it to be so close.

"I'll be waiting for you here. When you find someone, just come and find me."

Yu Xiangwan nodded happily.

She also thought this was more appropriate.

Yu Xiangwan took the address written by Zheng Yu and found the end of the street, then she saw the place.

But the door was locked.

When Xiao Xiao saw the lock, he was at a loss, with obvious disappointment in his eyes.

Yu Xiangwan comforted him, "Maybe he just went out to clean up. Let's wait."

Yu Cuilan agreed: "Yes, maybe he will be back soon."

A few women were wandering around here, and the people around couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

Just then, the neighbor opened the door.

An old lady with gray hair walked out from inside. Her hair was neatly combed, her clothes were clean, and her eyes were clear. She was a very elegant old lady.

Yu Xiangwan thought about it, walked forward and wanted to ask something.

Before he could speak, the old lady smiled and said, "You are the friends that Miss Zheng Yu mentioned in the letter, right?"

Yu Xiangwan's intuition has always been quite accurate. She felt that this old lady was not a bad person.

But she did not act rashly. Instead, she looked at Yu Cuilan first, and after getting a nod from her, she smiled and stepped forward to explain the situation.

"Grandma, we are indeed Zheng Yu's friends. May I ask the teacher next door..."

The old lady's gaze fell on Xiao Xiao, then on Nian Lin and Nian Yan, her eyes full of kindness.

"Come in and talk."

Yu Xiangwan looked around and saw that someone was indeed looking at this place, so he followed the old lady in.

The yard is not big, but it is well maintained. There are flowers everywhere, some planted on the ground, and some in pots, giving off a rich fragrance.

Yu Xiangwan couldn't help but exclaim: "What a nice smell!"

Little kids like Xiao Xiao, Nian Lin, and Nian Yan had sparkling eyes.

Nian Yan was so excited that he wanted to stretch out his chubby little hands to grab those bright flowers.

The old lady smiled and picked three roses, giving one to each of the children.

"Take it and play with it."

Xiao Xiao thanked shyly.

Yu Xiangwan also said thank you on behalf of the twins.

"Wait a moment. I'll get you a letter when I get back. Then you'll understand."

After a while, the old man took out a letter.

Yu Xiangwan brought it to Yu Cuilan and asked Xiao Xiao to stand in the middle. The three of them looked at it together.

Alas, it’s still the problem of this world.

A few days ago, Zheng Yu’s teacher was almost attacked by the Red Guards. He had no choice but to go to the countryside on his own initiative.

The letter said that the old lady in front of the children was called Zhang Heng, and she was also an art teacher, and that she could teach the children to paint.

Grandma Zhang waited for them to finish looking at it, and then took the initiative to say, "My painting is pretty good. If you are willing, I can teach you."

Yu Xiangwan smiled and said, "Of course we are willing."

She took the initiative to express her wish first. Should we deny it now? Otherwise it will be awkward later.

"But, is Zheng Yu's teacher really okay? Do we need to send her something?"

Zhang Heng smiled even more amiably.

This family is good. When they found out that their old neighbor was in trouble, the first thing they did was not to distance themselves from him, but to take the initiative to show concern.

These days, we lack such kind-hearted people.

"No, it's really good for her if we don't contact her. This way fewer people will know where she went, right?" Zhang Heng blinked.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine."

Yu Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief. She could finally explain to Zheng Yu.

Although this matter has nothing to do with her, he is Zheng Yu's teacher, and it is reasonable for them to pay close attention to him.

It's time to get down to business.

"Teacher Zhang," Yu Xiangwan said with a polite smile, "We came here just to let our children learn painting from you."

"But you have to take a look at the child's painting first, and have a chat with him so that we can understand the wishes of both parties."

"This way, if I really want to learn painting from you in the future, we can get along happily, right?"

"This is a two-way selection process. If you feel that Xiao Xiao is not suitable for you to paint with, you can also point it out."

Yu Xiangwan pressed Xiao Xiao's shoulder.

Xiao Xiao nodded repeatedly: "Teacher Zhang, my sister-in-law is right."

Yu Xiangwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: ...

[How is this different from "Me too"? ]

Teacher Zhang was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is your sister-in-law. I thought she was your sister."

Yu Xiangwan said cheerfully: "Xiao Xiao is my sister."

Yu Cuilan agrees: "Although Wanwan is marrying my son, she is also my biological daughter."

Teacher Zhang smiled.

She could tell that the family in front of her were not just speaking for show, but truly believed it.

She looked at the two little girls who looked exactly the same.

Nowadays, children usually wear clothes that belong to older children, but these two children were wearing little skirts without patches, which looked newly made.

Besides, these little fleshy arms can’t fool anyone.

Their lively eyes further prove that these two little girls are very much loved at home.

She has no objection to students who come from harmonious families and love their children very much.

Even though she just asked the other party whether he was willing or not, she was actually observing.

"It should be. Your sister-in-law is right. This is a two-way choice."

"I'll also take out my paintings so we can learn from each other."

Zhang Heng not only took out the picture album, but also brought out a cup of water.

"Sit down and let's talk slowly."

She poured water for several people.

Yu Xiangwan took it politely and took a sip. It was sweet and very fragrant.

It's honey water.

What was given to Nianlin and Nianyan was milk powder.

"This is milk powder, not maltose. The child can drink this."

Yu Cuilan was embarrassed: "Teacher Zhang, this is so embarrassing. We are so presumptuous to come to your house, and your hospitality is too generous."

Zhang Heng smiled and said, "Children, I like children."

Both sides got down to business.

Yu Xiangwan started looking at Teacher Zhang's paintings, while Teacher Zhang started looking at Xiao Xiao's paintings.

Yu Xiangwan saw that Teacher Zhang also had oil paintings. The passionate and unrestrained style of painting was like a rainbow appearing in the gray-blue sky, which was particularly attractive.

She could feel the power inside, full of positive energy!

Yu Xiangwan intuitively felt that Grandma Zhang was a good art creator.

When Xiao Xiao saw the bright colors, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhang Heng flipped through Xiao Xiao's album of paintings. At first, she just smiled and nodded. Later, after seeing Xiao Xiao's Q-print paintings, her interest was suddenly piqued.

"This is quite new." She pointed at the Q-print that was obviously of Nian Lin and Nian Yan.

Yu Xiangwan took out a newspaper from her bag and said, "Look, this is in the newspaper."

Xiao Xiao blushed and said, "Sister-in-law, why did you bring this?"

That’s right, the little man painted by Xiao Xiao was published in the newspaper.

The figurine painting features Nian Lin and Nian Yan as the protagonists, and uses imagination and text to illustrate it.

This style of painting is quite novel and is especially suitable for young children. The newspaper was happy to accept it.

Teacher Zhang exclaimed: "The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves ahead."

Xiao Xiao explained in a low voice: "My sister-in-law taught me."

Yu Xiangwan waved his hand: "I just said it casually, it's amazing if you draw it."

"Teacher Zhang, let's be honest with you. I sent Xiao Xiao to learn painting not for any other reason, but mainly because Xiao Xiao likes it."

"We never put pressure on Xiao Xiao. We just hope that she can enjoy painting. So, I hope you can let her learn more and try different painting styles, okay?"

Yu Xiangwan spoke sincerely.

Teacher Zhang could naturally feel it.

With this idea in mind, there are not many families who are aware of cultivating their children's special talents, and there are not many families who have the ability to let their children enjoy their special talents.

But the family before us is one of them.

The deep love for children can be conveyed through words.

Zhang Heng smiled and agreed: "Okay, I understand. The child is still young, and it is more important to broaden his horizons."

She felt that Xiao Xiao had some charisma, but that this charisma should not have been fixed at the beginning.

At this point, the two sides reached an agreement, and Xiao Xiao subsequently learned painting from Teacher Zhang.

"This is a gift for becoming a disciple." Yu Xiangwan presented the gift respectfully.

She hesitated for a moment, took out a red envelope, and said, "If it's convenient, can Teacher Zhang help us deliver it to Zheng Yu's teacher?"

Zhang Heng accepted the gift and returned the money: "Xiao Yu, I know what you mean, but now is not the right time. Zheng Yu's teacher will understand."

Yu Xiangwan took it back neatly: "Okay, we'll listen to you."

Zhang Heng nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, you guys just listen to me on this matter."

After saying goodbye, they walked out of the courtyard and returned to the street.

Xiao Xiao was obviously very happy.

Yu Xiangwan smiled: "Are you so happy?"

Xiao Xiao nodded repeatedly: "I haven't learned oil painting yet."

The painting struck her heart at once.

"Then study hard with Teacher Zhang in the future." Yu Xiangwan encouraged.

Yu Cuilan was also very happy that her daughter had found a good teacher.

Seeing that Yu Xiangwan and the others had stayed for a long time, Fang Mei went out to look around and happened to see a few people approaching.

When you see them smiling, you know they are doing well.

"Looks like you have good news."

Yu Xiangwan nodded happily: "We found Teacher Zhang."

Since Zheng Yu's teacher is not available right now, they will not cause trouble for him.

Fang Mei thought for a moment, "It's Grandma Zhang. That's good, she's a member of the heroic family."

Fang Mei whispered, "Those people don't dare to mess with her."

“You are very lucky.”

That's how I found a suitable teacher.

Yu Xiangwan felt more relieved.

This identity is good. It will make people feel more at ease when Xiao Xiao comes here to study painting in the future.

"We are indeed very lucky," Yu Xiangwan said happily, her mouth as sweet as honey. "Today, I first met you, Sister Fang, and then I met Teacher Zhang."

Fang Mei smiled and said, "Look at your mouth, you really know how to talk."

But in my heart I was extremely happy.

Who doesn't like to hear nice words?

"Let's go, let's carry on our good luck."

Fang Meihao waved her hand and led them to the back door of the supply and marketing cooperative and into the warehouse.

It turns out that they were very lucky today.

Fang Mei talked to her colleague who was guarding the warehouse, then came back and asked quietly, "Do you want the thermos? It's also defective. My colleague said he can give it to you, but the price will definitely be a bit higher. You need money and a receipt."

Yu Xiangwan thought about it and nodded readily.

It is indeed summer now, but there is also winter here.

There are many children in the family, so having more thermoses makes everything more convenient.

Fang Mei likes to do business with such straightforward people: "Okay, then Xiao Yu, come with me."

Yu Xiangwan handed the child to Xiao Xiao while she went shopping and got some needles and thread as a gift.

Fang Mei whispered, "Your mother-in-law is here, is it okay for you to spend money like this?"

Yu Xiangwan said proudly: "Then you wait and see, my mother-in-law will definitely be fine."

Fang Mei chuckled. Although she didn't know why Yu Xiangwan was so confident, she was still very happy for her.

I felt happy without realizing it.

Maybe this is the empathy that comes from being a woman.

Fang Mei made a special observation and found that Yu Xiangwan was carrying a bunch of things back. Not only did Yu Cuilan not get angry, she also asked Yu Xiangwan if he was tired and if he needed help to carry them.

She gave Yu Xiangwan a thumbs up.

This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is good!

Yu Xiangwan said goodbye to Fang Mei and happily set out on the journey home.

"I saw you and Comrade Fang whispering to each other before you parted. Did they bully you?" Yu Cuilan asked with concern.

Yu Xiangwan felt warm at heart after hearing this and explained, "She was afraid that you would be angry if you saw me buying too many things."

Yu Cuilan laughed out loud: "How could I?"

"Wanwan, you are now the mistress of this small family. I will certainly not interfere in your household affairs."

Yu Xiangwan nodded: "You are open-minded."

She and Lu Yingzheng are partners, so to speak, she and Yu Cuilan can hardly be described as a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship.

They are not mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so how can there be conflicts between them?

If so, it must be her employee's problem!

After all, it is the boss who pays the money, and the boss's mother is also her service object, so she must get along well with her.

Besides, Aunt Yu was really nice to her.

She also regarded Aunt Yu as an elder worthy of respect.

[If I have a disagreement with Aunt Yu, I will definitely listen to Aunt Yu.]

[The boss’s wife is also the boss’s wife! ]
