Chapter 173 Jiahe Tour



"Come on, Teacher Zhou, try this Fenhu drunken crab," Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang asked Zhou Yu, who was sitting at the main seat, to eat in the hotel's private room. "Last time you and Teacher Qiao came, the Fenhu crabs were not at their plumpest, so I decided not to let you try this dish."

"Now is the perfect time! The crabs are in their prime, fresh and delicious! It's the perfect time to eat this dish!" Xu Jiacheng and Zhao Mingfang passed the dish to Zhou Yu, "Teacher Qiao, you should try it too."

While Zhou Yu, Qiao Meng and the others were discussing the Fenhu drunken crab, Xu Li, who had become invisible and was already extremely hungry, was silently eating his meal frantically.

Since he already knew that Zhou Yu didn't like drinking, and this was not a formal banquet but a private party, Xu Jiacheng didn't prepare any wine at all. Instead, he only served some juice, and the few of them chatted while eating.

"Teacher Zhou, you should stay in Jiahe for a few more days this time." After eating, Xu Jiacheng talked about the arrangements for Zhou Yu during the National Day holiday. "The National Day holiday is 7 days long. Let's try to play around Jiahe in 7 days!"

When Zhou Yu heard what Xu Jiacheng said, he quickly refused, "No, no, Boss Xu, you guys are busy with work, my girlfriend and I can just go shopping by ourselves. Besides, I can't play for seven days, our school will officially start on the 4th, and I have to attend a parents' meeting on the afternoon of the 3rd!"

In Zhou Yu's opinion, a big boss like Xu Jiacheng cannot have a good rest even on a holiday like National Day, and still has to be busy with business.

Therefore, when Xu Jiacheng proposed to take Zhou Yu to appreciate the cultural landscape of Jiahe tomorrow, Zhou Yu's first reaction was to refuse.

"Hey~ Our family invited you, Mr. Zhou, to come and play. You are a guest. How can we ignore you? That is not the way we Zhejiang people treat our guests!" Xu Jiacheng asked Zhou Yu not to rush to refuse, and explained with a smile, "I said before the meal that last time, Mr. Zhou, you worked hard to teach our Xu Li and didn't have time to have a good time in Jiahe. This time, you must let us two play the role of host!"

"Well... okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Xu." After Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng looked at each other, they nodded and agreed.

"No trouble, no trouble! These are what we should do!" Seeing Zhou Yu agreed, Xu Jiacheng seemed very happy. However, Xu Jiacheng then asked with a little regret, "But, Teacher Zhou, do you really have to be so strict? There are only three days off for the senior year. Isn't this too much for the kids?"

Zhou Yu shook his head. "There's nothing I can do. Mr. Xu, you know that Anhui Province is still a little behind Zhejiang Province in terms of economy and educational resources."

"If you want to narrow the gap in education, poor places have their own ways. Since resources cannot make up for it, then we should work harder on time. If you study for one hour, we will study for two hours. After all, diligence can make up for shortcomings."

Zhou Yu's words left Xu Jiacheng speechless for a long time.

After a long time, Xu Jiacheng finally spoke with a sigh and said to Zhou Yu, "Teacher Zhou, your words really touched me. Although Jiahe is financially well off now, it is difficult to achieve the same level as Ruxu where you work, Teacher Zhou."

After finishing speaking, Xu Jiacheng immediately changed the topic and led the conversation to tomorrow's schedule. "Tomorrow morning, we will pick up Teacher Zhou and go to Nanhu Lake first. After dinner, we will take a rest. In the afternoon, we will go to Qiyuan to see the different Jiangnan garden scenery."

"By the way, Teacher Zhou and Teacher Qiao, have you ever been to Nanhu?" When he said this, Xu Jiacheng looked at Zhou Yu and asked.

Zhou Yu shook his head. "No, I've never been there. This was my first time in Jiahe."

"Then you have to go and take a good look," Xu Jiacheng immediately recommended it to Zhou Yu when he heard that Zhou Yu had never been to Nanhu. "Teacher Zhou, you graduated with a liberal arts degree, so you should know the meaning of Nanhu! Nanhu has beautiful scenery, not only the characteristics of the Jiangnan water town, but also the heritage of red culture."

Xu Jiacheng enthusiastically introduced to Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng, "The red boat that served as the meeting site during the First National Congress is still well preserved by the lake! Teacher Zhou and Teacher Qiao should take a good look at it when the time comes."

Zhou Yu didn't react when he heard this, but Xu Li beside him was already eager to do something, "Dad, Dad!"

Seeing Xu Jiacheng's attention shifted to him, Xu Li smiled awkwardly and asked in a low voice, "Tomorrow, you and my mom will go play with Teacher Zhou. Can I go too?"

It’s not that Xu Li had never been to Nanhu, or that he really wanted to go there, but if he didn’t go, he would be locked in the room, alone in the room, studying and studying again.

Obviously, Xu Jiacheng also understood his son's thoughts.

So, when Xu Li just said this, Xu Jiacheng's face darkened. He looked at his son and was about to scold him, but Zhao Mingfang on the side scolded him first, "You are already a sophomore in high school, and you still want to play all day long. Are you worthy of your father and me!"

"It was not easy to hire Teacher Zhou to teach you for such a long time and improve your grades, but now you want to play around again?! You really have the nerve to do that, Xu Li!"

These words were a bit harsh, and Xu Li's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly and said nothing. The situation suddenly became a little awkward, which made Xu Jiacheng, who originally wanted to scold his son, try to smooth things over. "Forget it, let's take Xu Li with us tomorrow. He has been acting well recently, and it's only one day, so let him relax."

"You've got all the good words!" Zhao Mingfang glared at Xu Jiacheng, "I'll let you take a day off tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow, you have to study hard at home!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Li's originally depressed face suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, "Hey, thank you, Dad! Thank you, Mom! I will definitely study hard!"

...

...

The meal, plus the chat, took almost an hour.

Considering that Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng were very tired from the long journey, after dinner, Xu Jiacheng's family sent Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng back to their rooms and then said goodbye.

"Then I will pick up Teacher Zhou and Teacher Qiao before nine o'clock tomorrow morning," Xu Jiacheng said with a smile before leaving. "Teacher Zhou and Teacher Qiao should have a good rest tonight. We will go back first."
