Faced with this resentful husband, Mrs. Wu quickly pushed him into the kitchen and said, "Give Mianmian another bowl of her favorite pig liver and egg soup. You can open your gift later."
She knew that Xiang Mianmian liked to tease her master, so she hid the gift at her feet and didn't give it out.
Master Guo actually knows his apprentice's bad taste. He just wants to show off. It really makes him feel happy and comfortable to have a student like him.
What a pity, my wife doesn’t have such a good apprentice, right?
The cocky Master Guo was quick and efficient, and in a few minutes he brought the pig liver and egg soup to the table and placed it in front of Xiang Mianmian: "Eat it quickly, it's good for your health."
The hand holding the chopsticks paused, and Xiang Mianmian looked at Mrs. Wu in a pitiful manner.
Suddenly, Master Guo received two slaps on the arm. Master Wu's wife said in a stern voice, "Speak nicely! How is our Mianmian like a pig? She's very smart and clever!"
A loving mother often spoils her child!
Master Guo thought about this old saying in his heart, but his face was full of smiles.
At that time, Xiang Mianmian had been in Chang'an for a long time and had not returned. He didn't know why and was worried. He even asked the dean where he had gone. He was relieved when he heard that he was on a business trip.
He was also told that this was a secret mission and could not be known to outsiders, and Master Guo immediately felt proud of it.
He is the disciple he taught!
This child is really promising. Even the master couldn't do it, but the apprentice can contribute to the country!
Master Guo, who has always been unable to keep a secret, did not dare to reveal a word to outsiders. He could only share the joy that was about to overflow in his heart with Mrs. Wu at home.
The three masters and apprentices had a happy meal together before Xiang Mianmian told him about his problems.
She just said that her cousin wanted to get married in the county town, and the condition was that he needed to buy a house in the junior high school staff compound where Hang's father lived, and asked Master Guo if there was any way.
Master Guo hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhenxing Middle School? I'm not very familiar with that place."
He has a wide network of contacts and is often seconded to schools in surrounding cities to help teach. However, Zhenxing Middle School is a junior high school and students are still studying general education courses, so there are very few repair classes.
Mrs. Wu, who was sitting next to them, was also offering advice: "Don't worry, the vice-principal of Zhenxing Middle School is my cousin. I'll go ask him for you."
With a family background in education, Mrs. Wu became a teacher because there are many teachers in her family and her network of relationships is dense in the county town.
Xiang Mianmian cheered up: "Thank you, Master's wife. You are always so kind to me~"
Seeing Master Guo silently rolling up his sleeves, she added perfunctorily, "Master's wife has good taste in people, and she likes Master."
Is this sentence a compliment or an insult?
While Master Guo was still trying to figure things out, Xiang Mianmian had already said goodbye and ran away.
Seeing this situation, he knew that he didn't need to think anymore. This apprentice was really a traitor and joined his wife in bullying him!
Master Guo, who was so angry that he laughed, leaned against the door and watched Xiang Mianmian running away. He really couldn't do anything about her.
Mrs. Wu was amused by the daily backstabbing between the master and the apprentice. "Alright, you're a grown man, and you're still bothering with Mianmian. Stop scaring her. What if she falls on the slippery snowy road?"
Her voice was incredibly soft, and every word she said was full of protection for Xiang Mianmian.
After hearing what his wife said, Master Guo touched his nose and felt embarrassed. He was used to teasing his apprentices and didn't consider this. He didn't mean to be mean.
Turning around and seeing his three children, Master Guo angrily instructed them, "Hurry up and finish your homework. Don't you know school is about to start?"
It’s really hard to judge. The gap between people is so huge. Why can’t my own child be so successful?
He really wanted to tell the children: Look how outstanding Xiang Mianmian, the child from another family, is. But then he remembered that he had to keep it a secret, and it was very difficult to hold back.
Guo Fu and Guo Qiang looked at each other helplessly. Why were they innocently implicated?
Guo Jia puffed out his chest and said, "Dad, you forgot that I've already graduated and don't need to do homework."
This made Master Guo talk non-stop: "How dare you say that? I took care of all your work. Why can't you learn from Mianmian? Look at her. She has become a teacher like me. Balabala..."
What a classic line, I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before.
Guo Jia felt a headache after hearing this. Seeing his younger brother and sister doing their homework with a smile on their faces, he just blamed himself for being so tongue-tied. Why did he bring up such irrelevant issues?
Half an hour had passed since he finished scolding his son when Mrs. Wu interrupted him, "I see Mianmian is in a hurry. I'm going to tell my uncle now. Do you want to come with us?"
She took the time to change into presentable clothes and put on some jewelry such as earrings and bracelets.
Seeing his elegantly dressed daughter-in-law was about to visit relatives, Master Guo quickly let his son go: "Go, I'm going to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle now."
He followed his wife's steps with a playful smile, and asked his apprentice about the news of selling the house.
