Chapter 120 Master Made



Xiaoqi has class in the morning, the last Chinese class.

So she couldn't make it in time to pick up her father, so he had to go sell bamboo baskets by himself while she went to class first.

In the last class, according to Zhou Meiling's teaching content, there were actually no rules at all. After she finished teaching the 50-character kana chart, she taught whatever she thought of, quite casually.

Unlike Xiaoqi who teaches according to the supplementary teaching materials, Zhou Meiling is very free-spirited and will look at the textbook when she remembers.

If we were to judge teachers by their quality, Zhou Meiling would be a real pain in the ass for most students. She'd teach according to her own ideas, but then ask you to do homework based on the textbook. When you do it, you're left wondering, "Where am I? What's this? The teacher never even mentioned that!"

But it is very good for those students who are particularly smart or talented. They can always integrate the knowledge when doing homework. This teacher has explained it, and that teacher has also mentioned it. So this is what the question means.

Xiaoqi is not a particularly smart nor talented student. In this respect, she cannot compare with Guan Jingzhi, who is a few years younger than her, but she is very hardworking and also used experiential reading, which is really effective. It is like a child who can speak Japanese, or I vaguely have that feeling. When I start studying again, I feel that I can do it easily and get twice the result with half the effort.

But diligence is still the most important thing. If I had had this drive when I first learned English, I wouldn't be in this situation now.

Seize every moment to study and practice, and you will gain a lot.

In the last class, Zhou Meiling spoke very casually, and she liked both students in front of her very much.

At first, I liked Guan Jingzhi because of the girl's family background, but the girl herself is quite outstanding. As for Su Xiaoqi, Zhou Meiling is hard to describe.

When I first met this student, I thought she had some great background, but it turned out she was just a rural student. I thought she was just an ordinary rural student, but it turned out she was Guan Jingzhi's English tutor. I thought she was just a good student, but she unexpectedly won the swimming championship...

Every time Zhou Meiling thought she was right, she would be slapped in the face in the blink of an eye. It's hard to describe. She thought she was a poor student, but she casually took out more than 300,000 yuan to buy a house. To be honest, her husband was well-off and gave her a lot of pocket money, but she herself did not have more than 300,000 yuan in cash.

The little girl was as calm as if she was buying a lipstick.

After several twists and turns, Zhou Meiling actually fell in love with this student.

It feels different, like we're friends.

It was the last class, and there was no summary or anything, but Zhou Meiling gave small gifts to both students.

Crystal hairpin.

Xiao Qi looked at the Blin Blin and felt that it was really prepared for her?

Did the teacher give the wrong gift? It should have been given to the little princess.

However, when she was sitting there and being forced by Teacher Zhou to wear the hairpin, Xiaoqi felt her neck was stiff. When the teacher handed her a mirror, she saw two little girls inside. One of them had medium-short hair and a hairpin on her forehead. She would have thought it looked silly, but unexpectedly, it looked quite good.

The little girl next to her with long hair has her hairpin on the side, which also looks good.

For the first time, Xiaoqi discovered that she didn't look ugly when she looked in the mirror with the beautiful girl Guan Jingzhi. She was a little bit unbelievable.

In fact, Su Xiaoqi is also pretty and delicate, but she is rather self-conscious and self-reliant. There is always an indescribable feeling about her, and she is a bit petty. Guan Jingzhi, on the other hand, is generous and elegant, and her beauty of eight points can give people the feeling of nine points.

At this moment, Xiaoqi in the mirror looks much better than before, as if a beauty filter has been turned on. She is still herself, but also not herself.

After giving the gifts, Zhou Meiling sent the students away.

Xiaoqi had made an appointment with his father. When he went downstairs, he saw his father sitting on the steps in front of the bookstore next door.

Guan Jingzhi left in the family driver's car.

Xiaoqi walked quickly towards his father.

When Su Youfu saw his daughter coming, he also stood up.

The Cultural Palace is next to the bookstore.

After teaching, Zhou Meiling opened the window to get some fresh air and happened to see this scene.

She held an exquisite blue cup in her hand, which contained half a cup of freshly ground coffee. She didn't like adding sugar and preferred to slowly savor the original sour taste of the coffee.

She also saw Guan Jingzhi leaving in her family's car.

Another student he liked walked up to an old farmer.

She seemed to have heard Su Xiaoqi say yesterday that her father was coming.

The man looked like an old farmer, and his dress did not fit in with the other people on the street.

There are few people on the street wearing a T-shirt inside and long sleeves outside. It is still very hot in Lushan City in late summer.

And he was wearing Liberation shoes.

I just watched Su Xiaoqi walk up and hold the man's arm affectionately, without any hesitation.

The old farmer stood up and walked down the stairs. Zhou Meiling felt something was wrong. When he reached the flat road, she discovered that he was actually a cripple.

She limped and covered her mouth in surprise.

She never expected that the father of the student whom she thought was better than Guan Jingzhi was actually a physically disabled person.

The man was holding Xiao Qi in one hand, leaning on a shoulder pole with the other, and carrying a sack.

Zhou Meiling was so surprised that she unconsciously poured the coffee into her mouth and swallowed it in one gulp. Only then did she realize how bitter it was. She had originally intended to drink it slowly.

"Dad, how are the bamboo baskets we sold today? Are they good?" Xiaoqi asked.

Su Youfu couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, I see the store has sold out what I brought last time. Boss Huang even called me a few times to urge me to finish it, but this kind of craft requires meticulousness. If it's not done well, I can't bring it in. So I put it off until today. It's just right that you've finished your class, so I can come pick you up and take you home together."

"Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"

Xiaoqi felt that his father was a little excited, as if his body was shaking.

"I'm not tired. When I came here this morning, the driver Dayong said he was going into the city, so he gave me a ride and took me directly to Shuidong. I got off the car and took my luggage in. I'm not tired. It's just that Boss Huang raised the price again."

After Su Youfu finished speaking, he rubbed his face and said in surprise, "Boss Huang found a video of you doing bamboo weaving from somewhere, saying that it was filmed by one of your students. He also asked me to film it when I make it in the future. I don't know how to do it. Go back and ask your mother to teach me. She's smart, so she should learn quickly. Also, Boss Huang raised the price. Originally, the small one was 150 yuan and the large one was 200 yuan. Now the small one has increased to 250 yuan and the large one to 300 yuan. He also asked me if I could make it if she sent me a picture. If I could, the price would be higher."

Su Youfu had a thick stack of money in his pocket. He always made transactions in cash when he went there, and this time it was especially large.

"By the way, I left one for you. You said you wanted to give it to your teacher."

Su Youfu took out a bamboo basket from the sack. It was woven like a grocery bag. No one knew how it was made, but there were no burrs on the joints on both sides. The old bamboo with spots was chosen. It looked antique. The handle was also made of bamboo roots, bent by fire, one section at a time.

It's quite big, and Xiaoqi can just hold an A4 paper when carrying it.

I was quite surprised. It can definitely be used as a work bag. Although it is made of bamboo, it is not too heavy. My dad also sewed a white cloth pocket inside.

"Your mother sewed it. She said it was used by people in the city and she was worried it might be unsafe. It has a hem inside."

Xiaoqi hadn't watched her father weaving bamboo carefully for a while, and she didn't expect him to improve so quickly. When she saw this bamboo bag, she wanted to have one too.

And she noticed that there were words engraved on the bamboo root where she was holding it.

The words "blessed" are engraved on it.

She looked the bag up and down and thought everything about it was good.

"Dad, wait for me for a moment. I'll take the things to the teacher and come back."

Xiaoqi ran back to the Cultural Palace carrying the bamboo bag made by his father.

Zhou Meiling didn't know why she felt very uncomfortable when she saw that scene, maybe because the coffee was bitter. She closed the window and went into the office. But a moment later she saw Su Xiaoqi running back with a very simple and beautiful bag in her hand.

"Teacher Zhou, this was made by my dad and is a gift for you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Xiao Qi put down the bag and ran away again.

Zhou Meiling: ...

Looking at the bag on the table... she looked it up and down, left and right... it matched her ancient costume so well, it was so beautiful that it made her cry.

I felt mixed emotions again...especially when I saw the engraving on the bag handle.

She is an old tea drinker who likes to go to teahouses. A few days ago, she went to a relatively high-end newly opened teahouse. The owner boasted about his small bamboo basket, which was made by a master. The small bamboo basket can only hold two teacups. He said that this small basket cost more than two thousand yuan.

She thought it was really elegant and wanted to buy it at the time. She looked at it carefully and found a small engraving on it. However, considering that it was not practical, she gave up. However, she took several photos and posted them on WeChat Moments.

As a result, the exact same inscription...
