After several teachers introduced themselves, they rushed to cook. Lao Yue washed the vegetables, Lao Zheng cut the vegetables, Zhang Maowei washed the rice, and Liu Yan was squeezed out by them and had nothing to do, so she silently picked up the rag and wiped the table.
Xue Guixiang was completely bewildered by these teachers. She had never seen a teacher visit a home before, let alone cook...
"Teachers, let me do it. How can your hands, which hold pens, do such rough work?"
While washing the vegetables, Lao Yue said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be polite. People who hold pens are also human beings and need to eat. I'm used to doing it at home. If you don't let me do it, I really won't be used to it!
I would be very grateful if you could say a few good words to Zhou and Lin and ask them to do a few more Chinese papers.
Xue Guixiang agreed awkwardly and came to Lao Zheng again, "Let me cut it, Teacher, you take a rest!"
"Sister-in-law, you promised to let Lao Yue do the work, why don't you let me do it? Are you looking down on me?" Lao Zheng held the knife tightly, fearing that it would be taken away. Xue Guixiang was so scared that she didn't dare to say another word.
Xue Guixiang thought that the two older ones were probably used to doing things at home, and the two younger ones probably didn't know how to do anything, so it would be better to let them take a break.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked up to Zhang Maowei and before she could open her mouth, Zhang Maowei spoke: "Sister-in-law, if you don't let me do it, I will be angry with you!"
Xue Guixiang didn't dare argue with the teacher and laughed dryly: "I'm not trying to grab it, I'm just telling you that the rice has been washed clean and can be put into the pot."
Liu Yan didn't dare to look up. She kept wiping the table. She wiped and wiped until she almost wiped off a layer of paint on the table.
Xue Guixiang couldn't do anything and had to sit aside to rest. When Lin Qingqing and Zhou Zhuo came back, they saw such a strange scene.
His mother was sitting leisurely, which was rare, while several teachers were working hard.
Especially Lao Yue, he can flip the wok. When he throws the food into the wok, it will catch fire immediately. He flips it a few times and his movements are so skillful that he doesn't look like a teacher at all. It is clear that he is a cook who has been delayed by his teaching career.
Lao Zheng was also busy helping Lao Yue put salt, soy sauce, vinegar and various seasonings into the pot. At this moment, their cooperation was seamless.
Zhang Maowei, wearing Zhou Zhuo's floral apron, stood aside and frantically beat the eggs. Poor Liu Yan didn't know what to do. When she saw them come back, she hurriedly helped them move down a sack of rolls.
That night, neither Lin Qingqing nor Zhou Zhuo slept a wink. Lin Qingqing found a rope and hung her hair on the beam, while Zhou Zhuo placed a needle beside him... The teacher had done this, and if they didn't finish the paper, they would be betraying their conscience!
The next day, Zhou Zhuo returned to school with dark circles under his eyes, carrying a sack of papers, while Lin Qingqing went to Xindian with dark circles under her eyes.
The store will have its soft opening tomorrow, so we need to make all the necessary preparations today.
In the morning, Lin Qingqing went to Hou Guiying's tailor shop and asked Hou Xiaorou to come and help tomorrow. Wei Xiaobao would also come. The three of them should be able to handle the work.
Fearing that someone might cause trouble, she asked Zhou Xi to help her and called Huang Mao and others from the village to patrol secretly early tomorrow morning.
A few days ago, she asked Wei Dabao to ask Mei Zhenren for a name for the clothing store, which was called "Lirenfang". She was very satisfied with the name, which sounded catchy and elegant.
All work was done in an orderly manner...
