The General Affairs Office is bustling with people coming and going.
Teachers kept coming in empty-handed, and soon after, they left the door of the General Affairs Office with a satisfied smile on their faces, carrying a pile of things in their hands, and walked out of the school. Looking at this scene, the richness of the New Year gifts distributed by No. 2 Middle School this year made these teachers feel satisfied.
"Teacher Zhou, you're here!"
As soon as Zhou Yu walked to the door, he was immediately noticed by the sharp-eyed Li Jianping, who quickly greeted Zhou Yu and then hurriedly walked around the crowd in the General Affairs Office and came to Zhou Yu. "It's a bit messy in here. Everyone is waiting to get their things."
"Let's not squeeze in to join in the fun. Let's go to my office and talk."
As he spoke, Li Jianping grabbed Zhou Yu's arm and prepared to take him to his office.
As for the New Year gifts, Zhou Yu was just curious about what kinds of gifts the school would give out during the Spring Festival. Anyway, he was not in a hurry to get them now, and the New Year gifts would not go away, so he would still get his share. So when Li Jianping greeted him, Zhou Yu followed him calmly and walked towards Li Jianping's office together.
Zhou Yu was a familiar customer of Li Jianping's office, so when Zhou Yu followed Li Jianping into his office and saw Li Jianping walking to his desk and busying himself with something, Zhou Yu easily found Li Jianping's tea, made himself a cup of tea, and found a place to sit down.
Li Jianping didn't notice Zhou Yu's actions. When he looked at Zhou Yu with a smile on his face while carrying a pile of things from behind his desk, he found that Zhou Yu was comfortably sitting on the sofa drinking hot tea. He couldn't help but shook his head, and the smile on his face became even wider.
If it were someone else, Li Jianping would have been unhappy a long time ago.
However, it was Zhou Yu who did this now, so Li Jianping not only did not feel uncomfortable, but instead felt that Zhou Yu was being genuine and had no ulterior motives, and that this was a sign that Li Jianping truly treated him as one of his own.
"Come here, Mr. Zhou, this is your New Year's gift. I brought it back specially for you!" Li Jianping smiled and brought a lot of things to Zhou Yu. In order to prevent Zhou Yu from misunderstanding, Li Jianping also explained to Zhou Yu, "There were many people over there just now, and some things were hard to say. I was afraid that everyone would gossip."
"This year, our school distributed New Year's goods to ordinary teachers. In addition to a bag of rice and a barrel of oil, we also distributed our Ruxu specialty hairy crabs and Ruxu pressed duck."
Zhou Yu had also eaten the hairy crabs, a specialty of Ruxu. It was only after he arrived in Ruxu that he learned that the hairy crabs from Yangcheng Lake were the crabs from Ruxu that were brought to Yangcheng Lake to soak for two days before being sold.
Last year, when Zhou Yu was still at Wuzhou Middle School, Xiao Chen invited Zhou Yu and Lin Ya to have dinner together. At that time, Zhou Yu thought that the hairy crab tasted really good, but it was too expensive. If he didn't buy it from a crab vendor or a crab farmer, he would have to spend dozens of dollars to buy one.
Another specialty of Ruxu is Ruxu pressed duck, which is something that the people of Ruxu have been eating since childhood.
Zhou Yu has also eaten it and feels that it tastes really good, a bit like Nanjing salted duck, but compared with Nanjing salted duck, it has a stronger flavor of Chinese medicinal herbs. However, Zhou Yu does not dislike this taste.
According to what Li Jianping said, it would be really great if there were so many New Year gifts.
Last year, when Zhou Yu was interning at Wuzhou Middle School, he didn't see anything.
From this we can see that although they are all schools, there are still differences between them.
Just as the gap between people is sometimes greater than the gap between people and dogs, the gap between schools can be described in the same way.
But there's no need to send this to me separately, right?
What's there to gossip about? Do I have more things than others?
Just as Zhou Yu was thinking, he saw Li Jianping walk to the desk again, took out a few things from the back, and placed them in front of Zhou Yu. "I just said that those things are prepared for ordinary teachers. Teacher Zhou, you are certainly not one of them."
"All the things in front of you are annual gifts for leaders and senior and senior teachers. Teacher Zhou, you should also distribute them according to this level."
Zhou Yu looked at a few things on the coffee table, then looked up at Li Jianping, blinked his eyes, and said nothing.
Li Jianping introduced the items in front of him to Zhou Yu, "This is a whole box of Huaweiheng nuts. It contains almonds, melon seeds, macadamia nuts, pistachios, and so on. It's just right that you don't have to buy any more during the Chinese New Year, Mr. Zhou."
"And this box is a seafood gift pack. There are definitely no lobsters or shark fins, but there are prawns, abalone, scallops, etc. As for the specifics, Mr. Zhou, you can go back and take a look yourself. I won't say more."
The item was really good, Zhou Yu liked it very much and was very excited, but...
"Principal Li, is there something wrong?" Zhou Yu looked at the things in front of him and asked in confusion, "Why are there two copies of each item? Or are all the gifts this year being given out in double portions?"
Li Jianping naturally knew the reason. Seeing Zhou Yu asking, he smiled and explained the reason to Zhou Yu, "Of course there is only one copy per teacher! But when I was preparing the New Year gift, I mentioned it to the principal. Teacher Zhou, don't you have a partner?"
"No matter what, our teacher Qiao is half a member of No. 2 Middle School! Although he hasn't joined our No. 2 Middle School yet, it looks like we'll be working together next year!"
"So, I told Principal Wang that Teacher Zhou has one, so Teacher Qiao can't be without it. Besides, it's just a New Year's gift, and Teacher Zhou, you won't have anything to bring when you visit your father-in-law during the New Year!"
"So, we took the initiative and prepared an extra portion for you, Teacher Zhou. However, as for the cigarettes and alcohol that you gave to your father-in-law when you visited him during the New Year, Teacher Zhou, we can't do anything about it. You have to buy them yourself." Li Jianping said at the end and made a joke with Zhou Yu.
At this point, Li Jianping paused, glanced at Zhou Yu silently, observed his reaction, and then continued, "Of course, these things are nothing to you, Teacher Zhou, but this is at least a token of our school's appreciation."
After Li Jianping finished speaking, although Zhou Yu showed no reaction on his face, he was deeply touched in his heart.
What the hell?!
Holy shit!!
No. 2 Middle School, and Principal Wang and Principal Li, are you so considerate?!
