Chapter 143: Thanks to Teacher Cheng



He Wenguang left the hospital in disgrace amidst everyone's scorn.

At 4 p.m., after Lin Xiaoyu collected the money and saw that the guests had finished eating and left, she went to clean up the table.

"It's right here. Trust me, it's definitely delicious."

"Welcome..." Lin Xiaoyu raised her head, but the word "Lin" was stuck in her throat.

The guests who came were none other than the teachers in the middle school.

"Lin Xiaoyu?" Teacher Cheng was among them and immediately saw Lin Xiaoyu serving dishes in the store.

There was a meeting at school this afternoon, and after the meeting a teacher suggested finding a place to get together in the evening.

Director Yi said that he had discovered a treasure dumpling shop that tasted especially good and highly recommended it.

Although everyone wanted to find a state-owned restaurant, order some good dishes and drink some wine, but Director Yi recommended it so much, we didn't want to offend Director Yi, so we followed him.

"Cheng, Teacher Cheng, Director Yi, Teacher Zhang..."

Lin Xiaoyu shouted one by one.

"Is this a student from our school?" Director Yi pointed at Lin Xiaoyu and asked.

Teacher Cheng: “They are students in our class.”

"Lin Xiaoyu, why are you here?" Teacher Cheng asked with a frown. Could she be doing odd jobs?

Lin Xiaoyu: "This is the dumpling shop my mother opened. Teacher Cheng, please wait a moment. I will clean up this table and you can sit down."

Lin Xiaoyu quickly collected the dishes and wiped the table clean with a rag.

"Teacher Cheng, please take a seat."

Teacher Cheng sat down and looked around the bright and clean dumpling shop. He didn't expect that Lin Xiaoyu's mother was divorced and still opened such a big dumpling shop.

"Teacher Cheng, what kind of dumplings do you want to eat? We have mushroom pork, corn pork, cabbage pork, carrot egg, leek egg, and fennel egg."

The store added two more kinds of dumplings with different fillings today.

Several teachers ordered dumplings with different fillings, and everyone ate together.

The dumplings hadn't arrived yet, but two plates of cold cuts were served first, and each person was given a bowl of large bone and kelp soup.

Teacher Cheng: “We didn’t order these.”

Lin Xiaoyu put down the cold spinach vermicelli and said, "My mom heard that you guys are coming, Teacher Cheng, so she gave you some food. It's free. Teacher Cheng, you guys eat first."

Lin Xiaoyu left after she finished speaking.

Teacher Qi said: "Oh, we are all benefiting from Teacher Cheng today."

"No, everyone gets free cold cuts and soup."

"Ahem..." Teacher Cheng coughed twice with some pride.

These teachers have eaten all kinds of dumplings, but the emerald cabbage dumplings with pork and cabbage stuffing really amazed them and broadened their horizons.

There are actually people in this world who can make dumplings as beautiful as works of art.

The key is that it not only looks good, but also tastes good.

After finishing the dumplings, we still felt that we had not eaten enough, so we ordered another plate of rice noodles, and only then were we satisfied.

Qin Ye came back, carrying a large basket of eggs to the store.

"Qin Ye?" Mr. Zhang, the math teacher who was picking his teeth, looked at him in surprise and shouted.

Qin Ye looked up, his pupils shrank, then he lowered his head and carried the eggs into the kitchen.

"Is he an acquaintance? It doesn't look like he knows you," Director Yi asked.

Teacher Zhang frowned as he looked at the boy's thin back. He was not mistaken. This boy was his former student Qin Ye!

Teacher Zhang used to teach junior high school mathematics. Because of his rich teaching knowledge and outstanding abilities, he was transferred to a middle school to teach high school mathematics in the past two years.

When the child wanted to drop out of school because he couldn't pay the tuition, 놛 went to 놛's house to persuade 놛's father to let 놛 go back to school to continue his studies.

But Qin Ye's alcoholic father said that studying was useless and he had no money to pay for his studies.

At that time, Teacher Zhang's family was not well off, his father was seriously ill, and the monthly medical expenses were more than ten yuan. He wanted to support Qin Ye but was unable to do so.

In the past few years, my child has gradually recovered. After my father passed away, I always feel sorry for Qin Ye, such a good student, who was abandoned.

If I continue my studies, I will definitely be admitted to a key university and have a bright future.

When Qin Ye came out of the kitchen and was about to move things outside, Teacher Zhang called him again.

"Qin Ye, that's you, right? I'm Teacher Zhang. I taught you when you were in junior high school. Have you forgotten?"

Qin Ye paused, nodded, and called out, "Teacher Zhang."

How could I not remember Teacher Zhang, who once cared so much about me, didn't want me to drop out of school, and even went to my home to persuade my father?

I just don’t know how to face Teacher Zhang.

"Are you okay now?" Teacher Zhang asked.

Qin Ye nodded, "It's good. I work in this store and can support myself."

Teacher Zhang looked at Qin Ye with regret. He should have had a brighter future. He should have been sitting in a bright classroom of a prestigious school, learning knowledge and becoming a pillar of the country.

Instead of working as a temporary worker in this dumpling shop, earning a salary of just a dozen yuan to barely make ends meet, and living a mediocre life all your life.

It’s no wonder that Teacher Zhang thinks Qin Ye only makes a dozen yuan a month. This is basically the salary for temporary workers these days.

"Qin Ye..."

"Teacher Zhang, I still have to go to work. I'll go first." Qin Ye interrupted Teacher Zhang and left.

"Oh..." Teacher Zhang sighed.

"Mr. Zhang, you really care about this student."

Teacher Zhang looked at Qin Ye's busy figure and said, "You don't know, this child is very talented in learning. When he was in junior high school, he got full marks in all subjects. I showed him a high school math book and he could understand it."

"You are really a very smart child. If he hadn't dropped out of school, he would have no problem getting into Peking University or Tsinghua University."

When the teachers heard this, they all sighed and said, "That's really a pity."

Director Yi: "But judging from her current appearance, she is only eighteen or nineteen years old. Since she is so talented, she should still have time to learn from high school."

Nowadays, there are many adults in their twenties who are taking the college entrance examination. Many of them have failed the examination several times, but they still insist on taking it.

As long as you pass the exam, your life will be completely different.

"That's right, Lao Zhang, find a chance to persuade him."

Teacher Zhang sighed again, "The key is that you have an alcoholic father at home who needs your support, so it's not easy for you to go back to school."

놛 is willing to sponsor Qin Ye's studies, but what about 놛's alcoholic father?

You can't always support Qin Ye's alcoholic father together, the key is that you can't afford it with that little salary.

With such a burdensome alcoholic father, it was difficult for Qin Ye to go back to school.

Teacher Cheng and the others shook their heads speechlessly when they heard this.

Lin Xiaoyu, who was standing behind Teacher Cheng, clenched the chopsticks in her hand, and looked at Qin Ye who was carrying a basket of corn to the kitchen, thinking about something.

In the evening, Li Shuping took the account book and abacus to do the math.

These days, I can sell an average of more than 200 dumplings, about 40 cold dishes at 20 cents a piece, and about 70 bowls of kelp soup at 15 cents a bowl.

I can basically make 100 yuan a day. The cost of ingredients and labor is about 10 yuan a day. After deducting the cost, I basically make a net profit of 40 yuan a day.

Li Shuping was very happy with this calculation. According to this trend, she could earn 1,200 yuan a month.

The money invested in the early stage of opening the store can be recovered in one month, but the money for the refrigerator cannot be recovered for the time being.

It is certain that you can become a millionaire in one year.

After making money, Li Shuping had sweet dreams at night.
