Zhou Yu’s words reminded Zhang’s mother of the real purpose of her visit to Zhou Yu this time.

Hearing this, Zhang's mother quickly put down the woven bag in her hand, hurriedly opened the mouth of the woven bag, and showed it to Zhou Yu with a flattering smile on her face, "Aren't you here to clean up for Zhang Li and cook a meal? I brought some vegetables that I grew at home."

"But I didn't expect to bring so many vegetables! I thought, Teacher Zhou, you must eat a lot of fish and meat, and you may not eat much of these fresh vegetables grown at home, so I thought of bringing some for you."

"Teacher Zhou, don't worry. None of our vegetables have ever been sprayed with pesticides or fertilizers. We guarantee that there is no pollution and they are all natural!"

Zhang's mother stammered as she explained to Zhou Yu, and it took her a long time to explain it clearly.

While explaining, he opened the woven bag and kept turning the vegetables inside the bag, trying his best to let Teacher Zhou in front of him see clearly the varieties of vegetables in the bag.

Zhou Yu looked at Zhang's mother squatting on the ground busying herself, and then he looked into the pocket of the woven bag curiously.

Zhou Yu looked around and saw that there were about five or six kinds of vegetables in the woven bag, with a large handful of each kind, enough for Zhou Yu to stir-fry several large plates.

Moreover, these vegetables all look fresh and juicy. They are cleaned very cleanly without a trace of dirt.

This situation made it hard for Zhou Yu to believe what Zhang's mother said. He really thought that these dishes were because Zhang's mother brought too much for her daughter and brought some for him on the way.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yu understood.

Then he sighed secretly, how pitiful are the parents in the world.

However, Zhou Yu felt at ease accepting expensive cigarettes and alcohol from Liang Yin's parents.

But Zhou Yu felt that the gifts given by parents like Zhang's mother, whose family conditions were not very good, were more important.

Even so, what Zhang's mother sent were just some worthless vegetables.

After thinking it over, Zhou Yu showed a happy smile, and looked at Zhang's mother who was eagerly staring at him, "Oh, these vegetables look really good! It just so happens that I've been wanting to eat some fresh vegetables recently, so Zhang Li's mother, you brought them here."

"What's the saying? It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Besides, vegetables of this quality are not easy to buy. This time I am lucky enough to enjoy them!"

After hearing what Teacher Zhou said, Zhang's mother's wrinkled face instantly relaxed.

Zhang's mother smiled from the bottom of her heart, and she kept repeating, "Oh, that's good, that's good! As long as you like it, Teacher Zhou! As long as you like it!"

As she spoke, Zhang's mother tied up the mouth of the woven bag, grabbed it, put it on her back, and greeted Zhou Yu enthusiastically, "Teacher Zhou, where do you live? Let me carry it for you. A man like you who is a genius can't do this kind of work. This big bag is so heavy!"

After all, this big bag of things is not light. Someone has carried it for you from far away, so how can you expect someone to carry it for you a long way back?

Seeing this, Zhou Yu quickly said that it was not necessary. "No, no, no, Zhang Li's mother, it's really not necessary! I live not far from here, just a few steps away. What's more, my family also farms! When I was a child, I helped my family with housework a lot!"

"Oh, that won't work!" How could Zhang's mother really let Zhou Yu carry it back by himself? It didn't look right. "This thing is not light, and it's not clean! Don't get your clothes dirty, Teacher Zhou!"

As the two were struggling, the security guard Mr. Huang spoke up for Zhou Yu, "Parent, just put it here! It's hard for a woman like you to carry such a heavy thing. I can help Mr. Zhou carry it over later, okay?"

Seeing this, Zhang's mother could no longer insist and just agreed.

...

After Zhang's mother and Zhou Yu chatted for a few more words about Zhang Li's situation, they tactfully prepared to leave so as not to delay Zhou Yu from going back for breakfast.

"Zhang Li's mother, wait a moment!" Zhou Yu stopped Zhang's mother as she turned to leave, took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it to Zhang's mother, saying with a smile, "Take this money, it's my grocery money."

Zhang's mother looked at the banknote, then looked at Zhou Yu, feeling a little at a loss.

She wiped her hands on her clothes, blocked Zhou Yu's hand that was about to give her the money, and stammered, "How can this be? I, this, I, I just brought some for you, teacher, and these are not worth much, how can I charge you for them!"

Seeing that Zhang's mother refused to accept the vegetables, Zhou Yu tried to comfort her gently, "That's not how you calculate it. Zhang Li's mother, you carried them all the way here. Aren't your time and energy considered costs? Besides, the quality of the vegetables you have here is really good, and there are so many of them. If you calculate it, they are worth the money."

But no matter what Zhou Yu said, Zhang's mother refused to accept the money.

Helpless, Zhou Yu had to give up.

However, Zhou Yu accidentally glanced at the big bag of breakfast in his hand. After thinking about it, he smiled and looked at Zhang's mother and asked, "Mother Zhang Li, have you had breakfast before you came?"

"I've eaten! I ate when I came here early in the morning!" Zhang's mother tried hard to make her Mandarin sound more standard, with less flavor of Ruxu dialect.

"Gu...Gu..."

After hearing what Zhang's mother said, Zhou Yu was about to speak when he heard two protests from Zhang's mother's stomach, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but glance at Zhang's mother, and at this moment, Zhang's mother also happened to look at Zhou Yu with a slightly embarrassed expression on her face.

In a family like Zhang's, one or two bowls of rice porridge are enough for breakfast in the morning. But after so long, the rice porridge in the stomach has long been empty.

Zhou Yu didn't say anything, he just squatted down, picked up a little bit of the breakfast in his hand, put it in a bag, and handed it to Zhang's mother, "It just so happens that I bought too much, so you can take these breakfasts, Zhang Li's mother! It's not good to skip breakfast, especially after doing physical work, I know this very well!"

Zhang's mother wanted to refuse at first, but was blocked by Zhou Yu's words, "If you don't accept it, then I don't want your food either." She had no choice but to accept Zhou Yu's kindness.

"Well, then I'll accept it. Thank you, Teacher Zhou!" Zhang's mother still felt a little embarrassed. She gave someone a pair of worthless vegetables, but they not only had to give money, but also had to buy breakfast for her. This was a big deal.

After accepting Zhou Yu's kindness, Zhang's mother decided not to stay in No. 2 Middle School any longer. She said something to Zhou Yu and turned around to leave.
