Chapter 51 She Isn't a Stepmother
Song Rui calmed down and went back to the classroom to continue her class.
Seeing her leave, Teacher Zhao came over and whispered to the girl at the front desk, "Did you see that? I'm talking about her. She learned to paint and had money to buy a pager, but she didn't let her daughter learn the violin. Don't you think she's a stepmother?"
The more Teacher Zhao talked, the more she thought it was true. "Look at the way she dresses and her figure. She doesn't look like she has given birth to a child. She could be a stepmother. Poor girl, she is so unlucky to have such a stepmother."
The girl at the front desk smiled awkwardly.
She had seen how the mother and daughter got along, and she didn't look like a stepmother at all.
If someone doesn't want to study here, they may have their own reasons.
She knew in her heart that Teacher Zhao said that only because he was unhappy about not earning the commission.
But she was just the receptionist and it was difficult for her to refute Mr. Zhao, the admissions officer.
I could only smile and ask, "Sister Zhao, was the person who called you just now your boyfriend? What does he do?"
When talking about her boyfriend, Teacher Zhao immediately smiled.
"He's doing business, a transnational business. He said that when I come back this time, he will take me to meet his friends and buy me a pager."
Upon hearing this, the girl at the front desk quickly complimented him and changed the subject of the stepmother.
Song Rui doesn't know yet that someone has already labeled her as a stepmother.
She is always very serious in class.
As the course progressed, her painting skills became better and better, and her progress could be said to be rapid.
Song Rui felt that after these ten classes were finished, there would be no need to attend any more.
By then, there will be no need to come to this training institution anymore.
They were just casual acquaintances, so she didn't care much at all.
But I didn't expect that although she didn't care, others cared a lot.
After class, Song Rui went home to find Song Hua.
The two agreed to go to the Agricultural University together today. In addition to thanking Teacher Zheng, they also wanted to take a look at the environment of the stall.
Taking the children with them, carrying the prepared pastries, fruits and a lunch box of braised meat, the two adults and one child set off.
Although winter vacation is approaching, the Agricultural University is still bustling with people.
It was lunchtime and there were some food carts gathered at the door.
The sisters looked all the way around and saw nothing similar to them.
Most of them are some pancakes, roujiamo and so on.
The two of them already had an idea in their minds.
After entering the school gate, Song Rui took Song Hua and Nan Nan and turned left and right, following their memory to find the office of Teacher Zheng they had been to last time.
I happened to meet Teacher Zheng coming out of the office carrying a lunch box.
Song Rui smiled and said, "What a coincidence, Teacher Zheng, are you going to the cafeteria to get food?"
It’s not a coincidence, they just came at dinner time.
I can also go to the cafeteria to see what the food is like.
Teacher Zheng had no idea what was going on in her mind. He looked up and recognized her.
"It's you? You, you came back with your sister?"
"Yes, I brought her back. I have to thank Mr. Zheng for the information. You helped us a lot."
Seeing that he was Teacher Zheng, Song Hua also quickly bowed deeply.
Teacher Zheng waved his hands embarrassedly, "It's just a small favor, just a small favor, hurry up and get up."
He reached out to help, but was too embarrassed to do so, so he could only rub his hands awkwardly.
Song Hua stood up, stuffed the thing into his hand, and stood back behind Song Rui.
Zheng Wenbin felt even more embarrassed. "You guys just came, but why did you bring things with you? I, I can't accept them."
Song Rui: "I was afraid you wouldn't accept it, so what I bought wasn't valuable, just some fruits and cakes. The things in the lunch box were made by my sister herself. Would you like to try some?"
Zheng Wenbin glanced at Song Hua and blushed. "Then, shall I take you to the cafeteria? It's time for dinner now. You haven't eaten yet, right?"
Having achieved her goal, Song Rui smiled more sincerely.
"No, let's go together."
The few of them walked in silence along the way and soon arrived at the cafeteria.
The Agricultural University occupies an astonishingly large area, not because of the large number of students, but because there are many experimental fields behind the school.
Along the way, Song Rui saw several young men carrying hoes running towards the canteen.
I am a college student, and I also have to farm.
It's normal to feel hungry at mealtime.
After entering the cafeteria, Zheng Wenbin used his teacher card to buy meals for them.
Song Rui wanted to give her the money, but Zheng Wenbin smiled and said, "Don't show it to me, or I'll be embarrassed to accept your things."
Song Rui also smiled when she heard this and put the money away.
After finding a table to sit down and taking a few bites of the food, Song Hua smiled at Song Rui.
Simply put, it's not delicious.
There is little oil or water, and the saltiness is also light. You can tell at a glance that it is cooked in a large pot. The heat is not important, and it is just enough to fill your stomach.
At this time, Zheng Wenbin also opened the lunch box in his hand.
A rich aroma of meat mixed with the spicy aroma of the marinade and a hint of sweetness gushed out of the lunch box and hit people's faces.
Looking closely, the pork elbows and pork cheeks that had been braised into an amber color were trembling on the rice.
On the other side was cabbage cooked in broth and some bright red chili sauce.
Zheng Wenbin swallowed uncontrollably, completely mesmerized by the aroma of this bowl of meat.
"This, this is too rich..."
"Eat quickly, it's just a bowl of rice, it's nothing."
Zheng Wenbin was no longer polite after hearing that. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
He looks quiet, but he is quite bold when eating.
He was holding the lunch box in one hand and waving chopsticks in the other, eating with relish, but he looked a little silly.
Song Hua couldn't help but smile and lowered her head to eat her own food.
After the meal, Song Rui didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "Teacher Zheng, what do you think of this meal? Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious! It's delicious. It's a pity that our cafeteria doesn't have anything like this. However, there is a place where you can order food in the No. 2 cafeteria next door. Next time you come, I'll take you there. It will taste better than this big pot meal."
Song Rui: "Is it expensive to order food individually?"
"Expensive... a bit expensive, not much different from restaurants outside. We teachers can't afford to eat there every day."
"What if my sister sets up a stall in front of the school and sells this pork elbow rice? Do you think this is feasible? You know, she just came back from a long distance and needs to make a living."
Zheng Wenbin's eyes lit up after hearing this. "Okay, I think it's possible. There's no such delicious food in front of our school. You've tried the food in the cafeteria, it's really average. But will it be very expensive? Most students don't have much money in their pockets."
Song Rui and Song Hua have already studied the pricing.
Song Rui pointed at his lunch box and said, "This is about two yuan."
Nowadays, a pound of meat costs two yuan. A pork elbow is about five yuan, and pork face is even cheaper. One pork elbow can make at least ten servings of rice.
Including the marinade, rice, side vegetables and chili sauce, the cost is no more than one dollar.
Two dollars per portion, and you earn half the profit.
For a street stall with no rent costs, the income is already considerable.
"Two dollars? Then I'll have to eat there every day!"
Zheng Wenbin said happily, turned his head and saw the thin Song Hua, and asked hesitantly, "But, isn't it too hard for you female comrades to do this?"
“I’m not afraid of hard work.”
Song Hua met his gaze, pursed her lips and smiled, "I can earn money by myself and I don't have to get beaten. This little bit of hardship is nothing."
Seeing her firm attitude, Zheng Wenbin felt a little respect for her and smiled, "Okay, then I'll look forward to having good meals every day."
