Other teachers came later, but none of them mentioned the tricycle.
The first class was Zhou Chengning's. Zhou Chengning left the office earlier than usual because he had to check his tricycle before class.
Only after checking the car can I teach students with peace of mind.
After Zhou Chengning left early, Liu Liangzhi couldn't help but grumble to Sun Hui and Wang Qing, "I really don't know what Mr. Zhou's wife was thinking. She bought a tricycle for Mr. Zhou. It's a blessing that Mr. Zhou is simple-minded. If my wife bought a tricycle for me, there would definitely be family conflicts."
Teacher Wang and Wang Qing saw the tricycle and were a little surprised to hear what Teacher Liu said, "That tricycle belongs to Teacher Zhou? I thought it was the new car bought by the security guard, Uncle Zhang, and it was parked there... Is it really Teacher Zhou's car?"
Teacher Sun: "Yes, it was Teacher Zhou. I asked about the tricycle this morning, and Teacher Zhou was very nervous. He asked me what happened to the tricycle. He must be worried that the tricycle was lost."
Teacher Liu: "Yes, I just happened to see Teacher Zhou at the parking lot this morning. I've never seen Teacher Zhou there before."
In the past, when I didn’t have a car, it was naturally impossible to go to the parking space. Now that Teacher Zhou has a tricycle, he must not park his car there.
Teacher Wang has a different emphasis: "I think it's good. Although a tricycle is heavier than a bicycle, it's relatively safe and not prone to tipping over."
Teacher Sun felt that Teacher Wang did not quite understand his and Teacher Liu's point. "The key point is that Teacher Zhou's wife bought Teacher Zhou a tricycle, a three-wheeler."
Even if Teacher Liu didn't say it, he knew that it was Teacher Zhou's wife's idea to buy the tricycle because of what Teacher Zhou said during dinner some time ago.
Teacher Zhou’s wife is the “one in power” at home, and Teacher Zhou is so miserable.
Teacher Wang vaguely associated it with the "chain of contempt" in the car. Although the tricycle has one more wheel, its status has not improved...
Teacher Wang: "At least Teacher Zhou doesn't have to walk, right? I remember that Teacher Zhou lived in Maodong Village. That village has a large area of arable land and is also a large village in the town. It would take some time to walk."
"Yeah, at least I have a car... Before Mr. Zhou got married, I heard that he would stay in the office after getting up in the morning, which was too early. Now he lives so far away, it's really hard."
"Probably... I enjoy it. We can't understand it either. It's almost time to prepare for the lesson."
The morning topic ended here, and the three teachers went to prepare for their lessons.
Xu Xiangjuan felt it was inconvenient to bring fish to Zhou Chengning for dinner last night, so she simply cut some ham and fried celery for him as a dish in the morning.
Zhou Chengning tasted the ham in the morning and it was delicious. He felt that ingredients that have been touched by his loved one’s hands would always taste good.
Before dinner today, I gave each of the three teachers a piece of fried ham and celery with my chopsticks. The other three teachers also picked up their own dishes, and everyone shared them, so the dishes were more diverse.
Teacher Liu asked, "Teacher Zhou, are you tired from riding a tricycle? Is it easier than walking?"
Zhou Chengning: "It's not tiring, it's faster and easier than walking, and it's not easy to get your shoes dirty."
It is easy to get shoes and the bike dirty on rainy days, so he would not ride his tricycle out. Even when it is not raining, his shoes would get dirty just by walking. In the past, he would brush his shoes when he got home to clean the mud off the soles and uppers.
Now he doesn’t have to brush his shoes when he gets home, but he has to wipe the bike. Yesterday afternoon, when I rode my bike home, he had been brushing the bike for a long time in the morning.
"Mr. Zhou's wife also spent a lot of money."
Zhou Chengning: "My wife insisted on buying a car, so I had no choice. But it is indeed more convenient to have a car. It saves me a lot of time on the way to school and back home."
It used to take me more than half an hour to walk, but now I can ride to school in 20 minutes at a slower pace. Having a tricycle means I can go out later in the morning and get home earlier in the afternoon, so I can help more with housework.
He knew that it was not easy for his wife to take care of two children, and that doing more work would save his wife energy.
The three teachers always felt that when Teacher Zhou said "There's nothing I can do", his tone was quite boastful, so cool.
...
At lunchtime, Gua Gua followed his grandfather back with half a bucket of loaches.
Seeing that her daughter was clean, Xu Xiangjuan didn't say anything. If the little girl dared to roll in the mud and come back dirty, she would scold her and give her a good beating.
Niu Niu had a good sleep last night and hadn't slept the whole morning. Now he was still being held by his mother.
Because Niu Niu really can't leave his mother for lunch, Xu Xiangjuan directed her mother to prepare lunch on the spot. There was not enough oil, salt, and cooking wine, so she put more in. If it was not cooked yet, she asked her mother to stir-fry it for a while longer.
Wu Caifeng was so distressed that she thought her daughter's words were worth ten others'. She had no choice but to listen to her daughter.
Because Niu Niu was there, Xu Xiangjuan left the doors and windows of the kitchen wide open and didn't get too close to the pot. Even if there was a chimney, she was afraid that the smoke would choke Niu Niu. The same went for adding firewood. If she saw the fire was almost done, she wouldn't stay in front of the fire hole for too long.
If Gua Gua was around, he would chatter all the time. Niu Niu, as he can't speak, just curiously watches grandma cook.
Xu Gensheng brought Guagua back and shouted to the kitchen, "Girl, you should cook the loach this afternoon."
"Dad, don't cook today. Put the mud in the bucket... Is the lid of the pot tight?" Xu Xiangjuan came out holding Niu Niu, and heard from a distance the sound of loaches jumping in the basin and hitting the wooden lid.
"I'll add some water later and put a stone on top to make it tight."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Then Dad, you and Guagua should wash your hands and have dinner."
Xu Gensheng rarely sees his grandson during lunch time. "Niuniu looks very energetic today."
"It's a good thing for Niu Niu to be energetic during the day, so he doesn't have to get up and make noise at night."
At lunch, Xu Xiangjuan sat down holding Niu Niu. Everyone in the family had a set of bowls and chopsticks, and even Niu Niu was drinking water from his bottle.
He just drank half a bottle of milk powder. I have to give him water to prevent him from getting a sore throat from drinking the milk powder.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Dad, Mom, Aning, the two kids and I are going to visit his grandfather. You two can just make do with what you have to eat tomorrow."
Xu Gensheng: "I see, girl, how are you going to eat the loach?"
Xu Xiangjuan: "Dad, how do you want to eat it? Stir-fried or stewed tofu."
"Stewed tofu!" Guagua seemed to understand what tofu was and immediately spoke up.
Niu Niu couldn't hold the bottle. Xu Xiangjuan held it in one hand, and he held it loosely with his two little hands. He didn't know why his sister was so excited. Niu Niu also got excited, waving his little hands and kicking his short legs.
"Can I have both?" Only children make choices. Xu Gensheng thought that although there were not many loaches, there were also quite a few. He would go and catch loaches tomorrow and might be able to get a few for free.
"Okay, Dad, you decide what to eat first." Stewed tofu is not convenient to bring to school, so you can take a bowl home for Aning to eat in the evening. Stir-fried delicious food can be put in a lunch box and taken to school.
Wu Caifeng felt distressed when she heard this. "What if oil and salt are free? If you eat this and that every day, the house will be empty sooner or later."
"Grandma, why do we have to eat at home?" Gua Gua asked when he didn't understand.
Before Wu Caifeng was choked by her daughter's words, she was choked by her little granddaughter's words.
Why does this little guy ask weird questions all day long?
"Guagua, we need rice, oil and salt to eat. Mom wants to ask you, is the oil from home? Is the salt from home? Is the rice from home?"
Guagua nodded.
Xu Xiangjuan: "That's why grandma said that the family would be empty sooner or later."
Guagua seemed to understand, nodded, and continued eating his meal.
"Guagua, grandma made lunch. Is it delicious?"
I always feel that this question sounds very familiar, and Guagua reflexively says it is delicious.
It’s really delicious. Grandma’s cooking is better than dad’s.
It tasted good when I was hungry but now that I was a little full, Xu Gensheng noticed something different. "Look, my granddaughter said it was delicious. Don't save on the seasoning in the future."
"Children say a piece of candy is delicious, what do you know... Eat quickly, or the food will get cold." Wu Caifeng was afraid that Gua Gua would speak again, so she quickly changed the subject.
When Juan was a child, she was not as talkative as Guagua. Guagua was annoying, and Juan was irritating. Although they were not on the same level, they were both children who gave adults headaches.
I think Guagua will become more talkative when he grows up, just like Guagua’s mother, who will become more annoying as he grows up.
Xu Xiangjuan is the only child in her mother's family now, so her room is still there. At noon, Niu Niu finally felt sleepy, so Xu Xiangjuan put Niu Niu on the bed in her room for a nap. Gua Gua also wanted to take a nap, so he slept at the other end of the bed.
Xu Xiangjuan was not that sleepy, so she took out a half-finished pair of woolen shoes from her mother's room and made them for her husband. She had already finished one pair, and would be able to finish the remaining half this afternoon.
Making woolen shoes is a bit time-consuming and laborious for her now, but it is not difficult. She has a lot of things to make recently, so she will make the shoes for the children's father first. One by one, it's better to make them well.
...
Zhou Chengning got off work in the afternoon and rode his tricycle home early. He didn't eat first when he got home, so the meal must not be ready yet. He took the tattered towel tied to the handlebars of the tricycle, soaked it in water, wrung it out, and wiped the tricycle.
The car body, handlebars, and seat cushions need to be wiped, as well as the cargo bed. The tires need to be brushed clean of mud before being wiped.
The noise of Dad’s return was quite loud. Usually, Gua Gua would wait at the gate of the yard only when her mom told her that Dad would be back soon. But today, she herself heard the noise outside and knew that Dad had returned.
She immediately asked her father to carry her to the truck bed.
Zhou Chengning put his daughter into the truck bed as requested, and continued to clean the car after putting her down.
Children may be born with a love for jumping. As soon as Guagua got on the car, he started jumping around.
"Guagua, you can't jump in the car, you will fall down." Without waiting for Zhou Chengning to speak, Xu Xiangjuan came out from the inner room holding Niu Niu and told Guagua to stop making a fuss.
"Mom, Niu Niu also wants to ride in the car."
Niu Niu, who was only three months old and had no idea what his sister was talking about, was caught off guard by his sister.
Seeing that Niu Niu was indeed staring at the tricycle, Xu Xiangjuan thought that the little kid might really want to ride on one, so she simply carried Niu Niu and put him in the tricycle to experience it for himself.
Niu Niu couldn't even turn over, let alone sit or crawl, so Xu Xiangjuan held Niu Niu up and let Niu Niu touch the ground with his socks to feel how to stand upright.
The soft Niu Niu was held up by her mother. Her little feet in woolen socks stepped a few times into the truck bed. Niu Niu's feet were not firmly planted, so in the adults' eyes, they were just shaking.
"I've put the tire brush outside for you." The tire brush was still broken, so he went to the county town to buy a new one and threw away the broken old one.
"I'll get the scrub brush right away. Juan, keep an eye on Guagua and make sure he doesn't fall."
Should we prevent Guagua from falling, or prevent Guagua from falling over his tricycle?
Xu Xiangjuan always felt that her man's eyes looked like he was worried about Sanlun.
The author has something to say: When the comment section is opened, everyone will know that cute is a high-frequency word used to describe Teacher Zhou.
