Lu Lang took Su Yuhe for a walk in the back.
Su Yuhe then realized that Lu Lang lived in Hongxing Primary School. There were two dormitories, separate for male and female teachers. Anyone who wanted to live there could live there.
The advantage of living here is that you don’t have to walk here and back every day.
There is a stove at the back where teachers can cook or heat up meals.
Lu Lang seemed to be not feeling well. He told Su Yuhe about the matter, gave Su Yuhe the fifth-grade arithmetic textbook, and said he was going to take a nap.
Before leaving, he asked Su Yuhe how she was going to have lunch.
If I have to walk home, I won’t have time to rest at noon.
Su Yuhe thought of the schedule she had just looked at: "I didn't prepare lunch. I remember that the afternoon class is the last one, and there's still a lot of time in between. Can I come one class later this afternoon?"
There are only two classes in the afternoon.
Lu Lang nodded: "It's okay."
Su Yuhe walked out and saw Zhou Ping squatting with the students in the open space in front of the classroom, holding a large bowl of food.
He would shovel some rice into his mouth from time to time.
Zhou Ping's bowl contained mixed grain rice, pickled cabbage and cowpeas.
The big bowl he used was different from the aluminum lunch boxes used by other teachers. Su Yuhe thought that Zhou Ping should also live in the school dormitory.
Zhou Ping saw Su Yuhe and stood up with a bowl in hand: "Teacher Su, you haven't gone home yet? Have you eaten? I still have some rice."
Su Yuhe felt that Zhou Ping was quite enthusiastic. She was afraid that he would ask her to stay for dinner. She was too embarrassed to say that she was going home for dinner, so she said vaguely, "I need to go home for a while."
Zhou Ping nodded: "Okay, is your place far away? Why don't you ride my bike back?"
Su Yuhe shook her head and declined. Zhou Ping grumbled, "Why are you being so polite? We're both teachers and fellow villagers. We should help each other."
This time, before Su Yuhe could say anything, someone outside called her, "Wife!"
Su Yuhe heard the voice and her eyes lit up: "My lover is here, I won't tell you about Teacher Zhou yet."
Zhou Ping opened his lips slightly, staring blankly at Su Yuhe's happy face, and restrainedly hugged the man.
So she is married?
Zhou Ping is almost thirty years old and has never met someone he likes.
Until Su Yuhe appeared.
In the morning, Zhou Ping only saw Su Yuhe less than five times, but he was already moved.
He felt that it was love at first sight, but he didn't expect to die before he could accomplish his goal.
Love was strangled as soon as it sprouted.
He took a few big mouthfuls of rice, his cheeks puffed up, and his heart felt a little sour.
Su Yuhe looked up at Jiang Lin: "Why are you here?"
Jiang Lin smoothed down the slightly messy strands of Su Yuhe's hair and said, "Mom said you didn't bring any lunch this morning. Dandan did, but since you didn't go home until almost noon, she was worried that you didn't have any, so she asked me to bring you some."
Su Yuhe's eyes curved, "That's a coincidence. I don't have to go back. It's two miles each way, so four miles round trip."
Jiang Lin looked at her distressedly and said, "I'll leave the bike to you from now on. I won't ride it back today. I'll leave it for you to ride after school."
"No." Jiang Lin suddenly thought of something and rejected the previous suggestion. "It's not convenient for you to ride a bike now. I'll pick you up after class."
"This is too much trouble. You sent me here in the morning? And brought me lunch at noon? It's okay for me to ride my bike by myself. I just need to ride slower."
"Let's talk about it later. Eat first."
The two sat down under a tree outside the school.
The food was served as soon as Ye Yunshu prepared it. It included stir-fried cabbage, pork and hot rice.
“It smells so good.”
Jiang Lin smiled: "Isn't this just an ordinary meal? Mom cooked it in a hurry. She was worried that it wouldn't taste good."
Su Yuhe sighed: "The food Dandan brought must have gotten cold. Why didn't you bring her some?"
Jiang Lin paused: "I forgot, she always comes here this way, but she brought steamed buns with her, so it's not a big deal if they get cold."
Su Yuhe looked at Jiang Lin with disapproval. Seeing that there was quite a lot of food in the bowl, she thought for a moment, stood up, and asked Jiang Lin to wait for her outside.
She returned to Class 1 (2)'s classroom.
Dandan ate white flour buns with pickles, while Chunling ate cornmeal steamed buns.
Several children gathered around, talking and laughing. Chunling's cornmeal steamed buns were not the worst, and there were also black-faced steamed buns, sweet potatoes and so on.
Su Yuhe called out Dandan.
Dandan looked over: "Sister?"
"come over."
Su Yuhe took Dandan out: "Brother Lin is here and brought food. Let's eat together."
"I don't want to eat anymore. I'll be full with this steamed bun. Sister, you eat it. Chunling and I still have study tasks to do."
Su Yuhe: "What task needs to be done during mealtime?"
Dandan: "No, we'll make it after we eat. We're discussing how to make it."
"Okay." Su Yuhe touched her head, "Then you go in first."
Su Yuhe went out again, and Jiang Lin opened the covered lunch box here: "What have you been doing? Come over and eat quickly."
Su Yuhe was eating, and Jiang Lin looked at her gently: "Does the class start today?"
"Yeah." Su Yuhe looked around and couldn't help but whisper to Jiang Lin, "That Teacher Wang is not easy to get along with. The branch secretary asked me to come to her to hand over the work, but she didn't come. Then she was late and said I didn't go to see her..."
Jiang Lin listened silently and said, "Why did that teacher do that? It's a good thing she doesn't teach here anymore, otherwise it would be so uncomfortable to look at her."
"Yeah, yeah, I think so too."
After Su Yuhe finished complaining to Jiang Lin, she felt much better.
She never liked gossiping, but she was willing to tell Jiang Lin if she felt unhappy about something.
That's what partners are like, you can talk about anything.
Let’s share good things together.
We can share unpleasant things together, and we will feel better after talking about them.
Jiang Lin heard that there were more than ten teachers at Red Star Primary School, so he said to Su Yuhe, "You're teaching here. If anything happens to you, don't feel wronged. Come home and tell me. If anyone bullies you, remember to tell me."
After Su Yuhe finished her meal, Jiang Lin took out a water cup from somewhere, which contained malted milk at just the right temperature.
The sweet taste flowed into Su Yuhe's stomach, and she felt comfortable and sleepy.
She yawned: "I'm feeling sleepy."
She is pregnant now and is already sleepy.
Jiang Lin looked at her yawning and said with a distressed look: "Is there any place in the school where teachers can take a nap? Go and take a nap."
Su Yuhe thought of what Lu Lang said and looked at Jiang Lin awkwardly: "There is a dormitory, but I didn't prepare any sheets or anything..."
Jiang Lin patted his thigh and said, "Come and lie down for a while."
There were not many people around, so Su Yuhe moved over decisively.
Jiang Lin's body was so hot that he was a perfect source of heat just by leaning against her. She almost fell asleep when she closed her eyes.
The autumn weather is clear and cool, but the wind still feels a little chilly.
Jiang Lin took off his coat and covered Su Yuhe with it: "Go to sleep."
Su Yuhe still remembered that she had to go to class, so she asked Jiang Lin to wake her up in half an hour.
