When Xu Zhaodi got off work, Zhang Guilan called her: "Xiao Xu, did you find anything wrong in the kitchen?"
Xu Zhaodi hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister Zhang, I just got here and didn't notice anything wrong."
After saying this, He Damei and Wang Daqing at the front desk looked at Xu Zhaodi without hesitation.
Xu Zhaodi said, "Sister Zhang, I have cleaned up the kitchen, I will leave work first."
"Okay, be safe on the road."
"Thank you, Sister Zhang."
Xu Zhaodi came out of the hotel. The weather was gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain. She quickened her pace. Chen Jianguo arrived a little late today.
After being out of the city for a while, I saw Chen Jianguo riding a bicycle coming from a distance. The military green on his body was so dazzling.
Chen Jianguo said: "I'm sorry I'm late today. I had a ten-minute meeting after get off work.
We have to move faster. The Party Committee will arrange for someone to take ideological and political classes for you in the evening."
No wonder he was late, he came because of class.
"What time does the class start tonight?"
"Eight o'clock."
"Is it too late to go back?"
Xu Zhaodi was a little worried. After all, she had a bad reputation in the team. If she was late, she was afraid of leaving a bad impression on the teacher.
“There’s still time, I’ll ride faster.
When you get back, rush to the meeting room. I have prepared a notebook and a pen for you."
After the meeting, Chen Jianguo came back and prepared his pen and ink, and placed them on the dining table before leaving.
Xu Zhaodi felt that he was really considerate and that he would make her feel a little warmer every day.
Her clear and lively eyes flickered slightly, and she whispered, "Thank you."
"Don't be so polite to me all the time. Sit down. I'm going to speed up."
On the way back, he rode his bike very fast. When the two of them returned to the compound, many family members came through the small door to enter the military district meeting room.
Xu Zhaodi jumped off the bicycle, left Chen Jianguo behind and rushed into the building.
Chen Jianguo's voice came from behind: "Slow down, there should still be time."
There was the sound of Xu Zhaodi's footsteps coming up the stairs in the corridor.
When Chen Jianguo came in carrying his bicycle, Xu Zhaodi had already hurriedly gone to the toilet and picked up the paper on the table to go out.
"Have a bite of dinner yourself, and remember to water my vegetables. I'm going to leave now."
Chen Jianguo just watched her run out the door, a hint of tenderness flashing across his brows.
Xu Zhaodi arrived at the door of the conference room. The lecture had already begun. She was two minutes late.
She stood at the door and took several breaths in a row. After steadying her breathing, she raised her hand and knocked on the door three times, then carefully pushed it open and walked in.
When Xu Zhaodi saw the person on the podium, her eyes lit up.
It's Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan stood on the podium. Unlike her usual lively appearance, she wore a white long skirt today. The two strands of hair behind her ears were tied into a big bow at the back of her head with a white ribbon. She looked dignified, steady, gentle and generous, just like a star from a movie poster.
Jiang Wan nodded and smiled at her, motioning her to sit down quickly.
Xu Zhaodi looked around and found that the only available seat in the entire classroom was next to Feng Xiujuan.
I really don't want to sit with this kind of person, but there's nothing I can do.
She had no choice but to sit next to Feng Xiujuan.
Feng Xiujuan snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm flashing across her lips.
Xu Zhaodi was too lazy to pay attention to her and just listened to the class carefully.
Jiang Wan said on the stage: "Hello, sisters-in-law. My name is Jiang Wan. I am here to teach you how to read and write. I hope that the knowledge I teach can help you."
No one in the audience applauded, but Xu Zhaodi was happy to hear that. She raised her hand and clapped. The others looked at each other and followed suit.
Jiang Wan looked at him and burst out laughing.
Jiang Wan said: "Thank you, sisters-in-law, let's start the class.
Today we will first learn six characters, and then tell you a story. "
Xu Zhaodi listened attentively. The six words Jiang Wan said were all simple and easy to learn.
Some people in the audience were absent-minded or even impatient.
Xu Zhaodi thinks that perhaps for them, what they are more worried about now is whether the children at home are crying or whether they are asleep.
The class lasted for one hour. Jiang Wan spoke six words and then told an anecdote about how to behave in society before the get out of class ended.
After the get out of class, everyone left the classroom first, and Xu Zhaodi waited for Jiang Wan on the side.
As the two of them walked on the road, Xu Zhaodi said, "I never thought that you would be the one giving us a lecture."
Jiang Wan smiled: "Uncle Zhou said that it would be convenient to find a female friend, so they came to the school to find me this afternoon.
In the past half month, they arranged people to pick me up and drop me off in the morning and evening.
Sister Zhaodi, I heard from Brother Qingdong that you went to work in the county town, so why don’t you come with me in the mornings these few days?”
“Isn’t this a bit bad?”
"What's wrong with that? I'm in the town ahead, so I'll take half the seat if I can, don't you think?"
"Okay, then I'll go with you every morning."
"Then we have a deal."
The two followed a group of women not far behind. Yang Liqiu said, "It's better to read more. Look at Teacher Jiang. She is good-looking and well-educated. She and Captain Zhang are a perfect match."
“Yes, we were poor at that time. We were lucky to have enough food to eat. How could we have the spare money to send us to school?
Even if there is spare money, it will definitely be given to the boys in the family."
"That's right. Now that we're married, what's the point of knowing how to read?"
"You think they sent us here just to teach us how to read and write? My wife said that there are too many things to do in the compound, and they gave us training and lectures in the hope that we can improve our own quality."
"Quality? What is quality? Can you eat it?"
Jiang Wan and Xu Zhaodi listened to the conversation of these women and smiled at each other.
When they quarreled, it was really embarrassing to watch.
But sometimes, it's really funny and cute.
When the two of them got downstairs, Chen Jianguo was standing at the bottom of the building in the compound, chatting with Zhang Qingdong, Jiang Dahai and a few others. No one knew what they were talking about, but they looked very happy.
Jiang Wan saw Zhang Qingdong, called him "Brother Qingdong", and trotted towards him excitedly.
When Chen Jianguo saw Xu Zhaodi, he also walked towards her.
"Not late, are you?"
"I'm a minute or two late, but it doesn't matter. I remember everything I learned in class."
A flash of relief flashed across Chen Jianguo's eyes. She has made great progress.
Jiang Dahai said with a smile: "Hey, I was wondering why the two of you were standing here together tonight. It seems you were waiting for someone."
Chen Jianguo said: "Dingdingding, your wife has returned home, isn't it time for you to return home too?"
"I am accompanying you two, you are so heartless, putting women before friendship.
Well, since I am so unpopular, I will leave first. "
Jiang Dahai hummed a song as he entered the building. Their house was on the first floor and it was only two steps away.
Jiang Wan said: "Sister Zhaodi, see you at 6:30 tomorrow morning."
"See you tomorrow."
