Just because Zhou Yu is not going home on New Year's Day and has to teach his students, it doesn't mean that other teachers have to endure the same hardships as him.

Xiao Chen and Lin Ya left in the afternoon. Before leaving, they specially said hello to Zhou Yu.

The three young people have a good relationship. They basically eat together except in special circumstances. If anything happens, they basically know each other.

So they already knew that Zhou Yu would not go home for New Year's Day.

Before leaving, Xiao Chen went to the door of Zhou Yu's office and said hello to him, "Old Zhou! Wait for me to come back! I'll bring you some local specialties!"

Zhou Yu waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

After working for a while, Zhou Yu saw that it was almost time, so he stood up and prepared to go outside the school to find a store to have a meal. However, he didn't expect that he would be stopped by someone before he even reached the school gate.

"Ah?! Your parents invited me to dinner?!"

Seeing Liang Yin stopping him and quickly telling him what happened, Zhou Yu was a little dumbfounded. He then smiled and responded, "Tell your parents thank you for me! Thank you for their kindness. But there's really no need to treat them to a meal!"

After the last class, Liang Yin quietly found Zhou Yu who was about to go out for dinner, and told her that her parents were planning to visit her on New Year's Day and treat the teacher to dinner.

Although it is quite common these days for patients to give red envelopes to doctors and parents to give gifts to teachers, Liang Yin and Zhou Yu have been together for so long, and based on Liang Yin's understanding of teachers, it is highly likely that Teacher Zhou will not agree.

As expected.

As Liang Yin expected, after she told this, Zhou Yu rejected her.

In Zhou Yu's opinion, teaching is just fulfilling the responsibilities of a teacher. Parents come to treat us to a meal? Forget it.

"You finally get a day off tomorrow. It's not easy for your parents to come from so far away to see you, so don't bother yourself. Just spend some time with them!" After saying that, Zhou Yu turned and left.

What Zhou Yu didn’t expect was that even though he refused on the spot, the other party came to his door the next day!

The next day.

Zhou Yu originally planned to have a good sleep, but unexpectedly, while still immersed in a sweet dream, he was awakened by a few knocks on the door.

"Who is it?" Zhou Yu rubbed his still blurry eyes and shouted weakly outside the house, looking sleepy.

Because of the New Year's Eve, Zhou Yu slept late last night.

Zhou Yu waited until 0:00 on New Year's Day, edited a text message, and sent it to a number that did not have a name on it but was already well-known by heart.

It has long been a habit for Zhou Yu to send blessing text messages to this number during major holidays.

'Happy New Year!'

Although there are only four short words, they conceal Zhou Yu's many unknown thoughts.

Not long after, Zhou Yu's cell phone vibrated.

Zhou Yu quickly picked up his phone to check and found that it was a reply text message from the other party.

'Thank you! Happy New Year to you, Zhou Yu!'

Seeing the reply from the other party, Zhou Yu's face was filled with a different smile, and he quickly grabbed the phone and started chatting with the other party.

'how have you been?'

"I'm fine, how about you? How are you doing lately? You should be doing well in Jiangcheng, right?"

'Yeah! It's good! There are so many delicious foods here in Jiangcheng. Next time you come, I'll take you to eat delicious food!'

"Really? That's great! I'll find time to hang out with you during my next break!"

...

...

In this way, Zhou Yu chatted on and off until about two in the morning before he went to bed.

......

Hearing the powerlessness in Zhou Yu's words, the people outside the house seemed not to expect that their arrival would disturb Zhou Yu's rest.

After a few seconds of silence, the voices outside the house began to spread into the house.

"Teacher Zhou, we are Liang Yin's parents. Sorry for coming here so early. Are we disturbing your rest?" The voice of a middle-aged man with full energy came through the crack in the door and reached Zhou Yu's ears in the bedroom.

When Zhou Yu, who was still a little sleepy just now, heard that it was a student's parent who came to visit, he immediately woke up.

Zhou Yu quickly grabbed the phone beside his pillow and took a look. He found that it was almost 10 o'clock in the morning. He hurriedly shouted outside, "Sorry! Liang Yin's parents, right? Please wait a moment!"

After saying that, Zhou Yu hurriedly got out of bed, walked to the desk in a panic, picked up the clothes hanging on the table and chair and started to put on them.

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Liang's father outside the house heard a noise inside the house and responded again, "Teacher Zhou, we are bothering you and disturbing your rest. Please go slowly, we are not in a hurry!"

A few minutes later.

The door was opened. Zhou Yu, who was dressed neatly, opened the door and saw Liang Yin's family of three standing neatly outside.

Zhou Yu had just opened the door and hadn't said anything yet when Liang Yin's father, who was standing in the middle of the family, extended his hand to Zhou Yu with a sincere smile on his face. "Teacher Zhou, it took you so long to come to visit. We as parents are not doing enough!"

"I am so ashamed! I came here today with my wife to express my gratitude to you! I also came to apologize to you!"

Seeing her father like this, Liang Yin blushed unconsciously and lowered her head.

It’s started, Dad has started again!

"ah???"

Faced with the enthusiastic and old-fashioned Liang's father, Zhou Yu couldn't stand it and was stunned for a moment.

However, after reacting, Zhou Yu also realized that no matter what purpose Liang Yin's parents had in coming to his house, it was still somewhat impolite to block them at the door.

So Zhou Yu quickly made way and welcomed the three people into the house.

"Come in quickly! It's cold outside!" As he said this, he walked into the house first.

Seeing Zhou Yu inviting his family into the house, Liang's father brought his wife and children into Zhou Yu's dormitory.

Seeing that although there was not much furnishings in the room, it was kept clean and there was no trace of odor, Liang's father couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart, and his evaluation of his daughter's head teacher went to a higher level.

"Sorry, the dormitory is a bit simple! Please sit down!" Zhou Yu pulled out the plastic stools that he had bought to entertain Xiao Chen and Lin Ya in the dormitory for dinner from under the table in the outer room and placed them in front of the three of them.

Seeing the three people sitting down, Zhou Yu prepared to boil water for them to make tea. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were coming today, so I didn't prepare anything. I have to boil the water now!"

Zhou Yu looked at Liang's father and mother with an apologetic look on his face.

Liang's father waved his hand quickly, "Teacher Zhou, please stop working! We will leave after sitting for a while! This time it's our fault too. We came here without telling you!"

Despite saying this, Zhou Yu still insisted on filling a kettle of tap water and started boiling it.

While waiting for the water to boil, a few people started chatting.

Although Liang Yin is not particularly cheerful, she can't help but lower her head and act like an ostrich when facing the presence of her parents and class teacher.

After taking a look at his daughter, Liang's father looked at Zhou Yu again and said with a smile, "Liang Yin's mother and I are usually busy with work. So since junior high school, we inevitably began to neglect Liang Yin's education."

"Since Liang Yin was admitted to this high school, her grades have been getting worse every year. By the time we really started to pay attention to her, it was too late."

"Her mother and I have prepared for the worst. If she fails the exam this year, we will let her repeat the year next year."

"I have to tell you something that is difficult to say. I have already prepared to ask someone to find some connections, and I plan to spend tens of thousands of dollars on school selection fees to send our Liang Yin to Wanxi Carpet Factory Middle School." Liang's father looked like he was confiding something as he explained to Zhou Yu.

"But this year, Liang Yin reported her monthly exam results to us. Her results were getting better and better. After that, we were finally relieved."
