Chapter 35: Protecting Shortcomings 1
As soon as they left the compound, Zhong Xuexi said disdainfully: "Don't think that I'm doing you a favor by giving you a ride. That doesn't exist."
Lin Ziqiu didn't care, "Oh."
Zhong Xuexi was very dissatisfied with her attitude. She rode all the way with anger. When she arrived at the state-owned hotel, she stopped Lin Ziqiu.
Lin Ziqiu raised an eyebrow, "What?"
"I gave you a ride all the way, shouldn't you give me some benefits?"
Zhong Xuexi said shamelessly: "I'll give you a discount and charge you one dollar."
Lin Ziqiu's mouth twitched slightly, "Then take me back, I won't take your car anymore."
Zhong Xuexi was shocked, "Don't tell me you don't even have a dollar in your pocket!"
Lin Ziqiu took out his shirt pocket and found it was empty.
Zhong Xuexi was stunned and muttered quietly, "No wonder I have to go out to work..."
But she wondered why her elder brother didn't give Lin Ziqiu money to spend. If this got out, she would be laughed at.
The wife of the regiment commander couldn't even take out a dollar.
She decided to talk to her brother about it later.
However, even if he gave Lin Ziqiu the money, he had to warn her not to spend it recklessly, because her brother's money didn't come from the wind.
"Okay, then I'll treat you this time, so go ahead."
Zhong Xuexi rode her bicycle away without looking back.
Lin Ziqiu looked at her back and his eyelids twitched. It seemed that this sister-in-law was a money-grubber.
The restaurant is busy preparing the food now.
Tian Xiaofeng and his friends always come early. "Sister Xiaoqiu, you're here just in time! Let me tell you, a teacher from school is coming to eat at noon today. They've booked five tables and the dishes are ready. My brother and his friends are preparing the dishes inside!"
"School teacher?"
"Um!"
Lin Ziqiu understood and roughly guessed that what he was talking about was related to the exchange meeting with his sister-in-law.
"Xiaofeng, how long have you been with Uncle Tian and the others in the restaurant?"
Tian Xiaofeng rested his chin on his hand and calculated, "Since I graduated from the second grade of elementary school, I have been working with my father."
He stopped going to school very early. At that time, Grandpa Li tried to persuade him, but he refused to listen. As long as he didn't go to school, he would do anything.
After spending these days together, she had already regarded Tian Xiaofeng as her own brother.
The college entrance examination will be resumed in the near future. If he can go to college, it will definitely be much better than spending his whole life here as a waiter.
Moreover, the college students of this era are far more valuable than those of later generations. But it is also very difficult, especially in the first year after the resumption of the college entrance examination. The number of candidates is like that of a group of people crossing the river, and only one in a million can actually pass.
Lin Ziqiu asked him: "It's been so long, have you thought about what you are going to do in the future?"
Tian Xiaofeng thought of something and felt a little melancholy. "I am different from my brother. He can inherit his father's cooking skills, but I really have no talent for cooking..."
"As my brother said, I only know how to eat... Hey! Sometimes I envy you guys for making a lot of money. I also want to make a lot of money."
"If in this world, I could make money just by eating delicious food! Then I would definitely eat it every day!" He said a lot to himself, and when he came to his senses, he saw Lin Ziqiu smiling at him, and scratched his head embarrassedly.
In the kitchen, Tian Gui heard his youngest son's voice and scolded him with a smile: "You little bastard, you are lazy, aren't you! Hurry up and bring in all the dishes!"
"I'm coming!" Tian Xiaofeng quickly responded: "Sister Xiaoqiu, I'll get busy first!"
"good".
The kitchen was busy all morning. In addition to the ordered dishes, they also had to prepare other dishes in advance.
Lin Ziqiu worked efficiently, which relieved a lot of pressure on Tian Gui.
Near noon, Manager Jiang also arrived. He first went to the kitchen to check the situation, and then instructed the waiters at the front to set up the table and put out the dishes and chopsticks.
Not long after, the guests arrived as promised.
Walking in front were the principals and directors of several schools, followed by dozens of people, all teachers from the schools.
The other teachers were talking and laughing, only Zhong Xuexi followed behind with her head hung down.
The table for the school leaders was arranged in a private room, while the remaining teachers sat in the hotel lobby.
Manager Jiang was an old acquaintance of the school leaders, so he was invited to drink.
The dishes were prepared in advance, only the cauliflower had not been fried.
Tian Gui waved his hand and said, "Go and take a rest. I'll cook this dish."
Lin Ziqiu was responsible for most of the dishes and was indeed a little tired at this moment. "Okay, I'll go take a break!"
Although she was taking a break, she was not idle either. She helped serve the dishes at the front.
When Zhong Xuexi saw her, she avoided looking at her, fearing that Lin Ziqiu would greet her.
But her worries were unnecessary.
After Lin Ziqiu helped Tian Xiaofeng serve the dishes, he didn't even look at her. Most of the teachers at Zhong Xuexi's table were male, with only two female teachers.
She was sandwiched between two male teachers and felt uncomfortable.
In fact, she didn't want to come along to eat, but the female teacher kept pulling her along, so she had no choice but to come.
"Ms. Zhong, you are already 22 this year, right? If you delay any longer, you really won't be able to get married!"
The male teacher sitting on her right was wearing glasses, was 160cm tall, and weighed about the same.
Her belly was as big as if she was pregnant with twins.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw a mouth full of yellow teeth, which made Zhong Xuexi unable to open her eyes.
She said with a fake smile: "As for fate, who can say for sure?"
"You're so fat, no wonder your fate comes late. Most men can resist you! I'm afraid you'll crush me to death even if I lie on the bed! Hahaha!" He laughed without any scruples, and the other male teachers followed him.
Zhong Xuexi clenched her chopsticks and tried her best to hold back, "Teacher Qiao, please be respectful!"
Qiao Bo not only didn't think he was wrong, but he became even more aggressive: "I didn't say anything wrong? You ask everyone to judge. I'm doing this for your own good. If you keep getting fatter, you'll catch up with me!"
Zhong Xuexi gritted her teeth in anger, "You——"
At this time, the female teacher Xu Li who was sitting opposite her spoke up, "Teacher Xiao Zhong, we are all colleagues in the same school, and Teacher Qiao was just reminding you kindly, why are you still angry!"
"Teacher Xu is a very understanding person! If it were someone else, I wouldn't worry about this!"
Qiao Bo raised his glass towards Xu Li, "Come on, Teacher Xu, I'll toast you!"
Xu Li pursed her lips and smiled, "Teacher Qiao, I really can't drink this glass of wine. How about I drink tea instead of wine?"
"I'll drink it for Teacher Xu!"
The male teacher sitting next to her stood up and said, "Old Qiao, you poured Teacher Xu a glass of wine right away. Do you look down on us male comrades?"
Qiao Bo: "How can that be true! We are all good brothers here, so shouldn't female comrades be given priority?"
"Then why don't you respect the person next to you?!"
Qiao Bo glanced at Zhong Xuexi with disdain, "How can she compare with our teacher Xu? She doesn't even look like a woman. A sow is better than her!"
Zhong Xuexi couldn't bear it any longer, and yelled with red eyes: "Qiao Bo! Don't go too far!"
"Okay, okay, all the school leaders are here today, let's not hurt the harmony." Xu Li took the initiative to raise her teacup, "Teacher Xiao Zhong, come, I'll toast you. I'm very happy to have worked with you for the past few months. I hope that we can work together in the future to teach better students!"
