910: Do you know each other?
Jia Le heard the noise outside and came out. He saw the meat and steamed buns and asked:
"Did my father send it here?"
Shao Xia turned her head and asked:
"Jia Le, did you ask your father to send it?"
"No, no, I didn't ask my father to send it!" Jia Le tried to defend himself as if he was wronged.
Shao Xia knew that she had wronged Jia Le. Maybe it was not Jia Le who asked his father to do this, but Jia Le's father who had someone send it here himself.
Looking at the large piece of pork belly, Shao Xia sighed:
"Go back to your room and wait. I'll go borrow a piece of ginger and a head of Chinese cabbage. We'll have pork and cabbage stew for lunch."
But, such a big piece of meat is enough for several meals, so we can’t keep eating it like this.
Is Jia Le's father worried that his son won't have enough to eat here, so he specially asked someone to send so many steamed buns and meat?
Are rich people so willful?
This put Shao Xia under some pressure.
During the meal, Shao Xia specifically instructed:
"Jia Le, go back tonight and tell Dad that you can't send anything to the teacher anymore. This is the first time, and the last time. If you send anything again, with so many people living here, it won't be good if someone sees you. You know, the teacher can't explain it to them. You must tell Dad not to send anything anymore. Today's meat and yesterday's buns are enough for you to eat egg noodles here for a month."
Jia Le is also very sensible:
"Okay, teacher, I will tell my dad not to give you gifts in the future."
"Well, dear, as long as you study hard, be happy every day, and don't forget your teacher when you grow up, I will be satisfied."
"Teacher, I will definitely not forget you when I grow up."
"The teacher won't forget you either—eat quickly."
Since then, Shao Xia really never received anything from Jia Zan again.
But Jia Zan always felt very sorry and wanted to find an opportunity to express his gratitude to Shao Xia. However, every time he met Shao Xia, the children were present. Jia Zan could not say anything except superficial courtesy, so he always felt bad about it.
After a while, it was exactly one hundred days old when Zhou Ziheng and Yu Xiaoye's son was born. They held a banquet at home and Jia Zan also went.
There were a lot of people going there, and there were more than a dozen tables set up inside and outside the Zhou family’s door.
Jia Zan just wanted to take this opportunity to ask Zhou Ziheng for his opinion. He knew that Zhou Ziheng had many ideas, and who knows, maybe Zhou Ziheng could give him some inspiration.
So he went there very early, and went to Zhou's house before other guests arrived. He told Zhou Ziheng about this and asked Zhou Ziheng how to thank Jia Le's teacher.
Zhou Ziheng smiled bitterly after hearing this:
"This really stumps me. How about this, I'll ask Xiao Ye later. She's sure to have an idea."
"Oh, right, you can ask your wife to help. We're both lesbians, so it's easier for us to talk when we meet. It would be most appropriate to ask your wife to help me express my gratitude to Lele's teacher."
"So how are you going to thank me?"
"I don't know either. I'm afraid I'll have to ask your wife for advice. I really don't know anything about this matter. I really don't know what to do."
"Okay, I'll talk to my wife about this and see if she has any suggestions."
"Thank you both in advance."
"Why should we be so polite to each other? Please take a seat. I'll entertain the guests."
Zhou Ziheng went to entertain wave after wave of guests, and Jia Zan sat in the corner. He met acquaintances in the compound and chatted with them. Not long after, Jia Zan accidentally glanced at the crowd and suddenly saw a familiar person.
He was extremely shocked to find that the person was actually his son's teacher: Teacher Shao?!
Jia Zan was so shocked that he thought he was dazzled and must have seen the wrong person. But why did that person look so much like Teacher Shao, even wearing the same clothes?!
Jia Zan blinked hard, and when he looked again, the man was still standing there. It was not until Teacher Shao also noticed him and gave him the same surprised look that Jia Zan was completely sure that it was Teacher Shao and no one else.
Shao Xia saw Jia Zan in the crowd and walked over with a look of surprise:
"Dad Jia Le, you are here too?"
"Um, yes, Teacher Shao, I didn't expect you to come too, what a coincidence." Somehow, after the initial surprise, Jia Zan felt a sense of joy in his heart.
Shao Xia smiled and asked:
"Do you know anyone from the Zhou family?"
"Yes, I'm from this compound too, and I've known their family since I was a child."
"Really?" Shao Xia was even more surprised that Jia Le's father also came from this compound.
"What about you, Mr. Shao? Are you acquainted with their family?"
"Yes, what a coincidence! Minister Xiao Zhou's lover is a friend I met in the Great Northern Wilderness."
This time Jia Zan was even more surprised:
"Teacher Shao, have you also worked in the Great Northern Wilderness?"
"Yes, I worked in the Great Northern Wilderness for almost six years. After the college entrance examination was resumed, I was admitted to the Normal College and returned to the city."
Jia Zan smiled:
"That's a coincidence! My brother also served in the Great Northern Wilderness. If you know Minister Xiao Zhou's wife, you might also know my brother."
"Really? Then you—"
Shao Xia was about to ask, "What's your brother's name?" but then, here comes Jia Song.
When Jia Song came in, he saw Shao Xia standing and talking with his elder brother, and he shouted:
"Shao Xia?"
Shao Xia turned around and shouted with a smile:
"Brother Jia."
Jia Song walked towards them with a puzzled look on his face, looked at his elder brother, and then looked at Shao Xia:
"Why, do you know each other?"
These words surprised both Jia Zan and Shao Xia.
Shao Xia reacted first, Jia Le, Jia Song?
After taking a closer look at Jia Song's face and comparing it with Jia Le's, Shao Xia exclaimed in surprise:
"Oh, Brother Jia, so Jia Le is your nephew?"
"Do you know my nephew?"
Shao Xia couldn't help laughing:
"How can this be such a coincidence? Jia Le is my student."
"Really?" Jia Song's eyes widened. "You're actually Lele's teacher. How come I didn't know this before?"
"I just graduated and was assigned to that government-run primary school. I've only been teaching Jia Le for a few months, so of course you didn't know before. I never thought about it. No wonder Jia Le's face always seemed familiar to me. Now I remember that Jia Le looks a bit like your uncle!"
"Is he as handsome as my uncle?"
“Puff——”
Jia Zan stood aside and was extremely surprised to see them chatting so happily. It turned out that they were so familiar with each other?
Shao Xia added:
"So you and Jia Le's father are brothers."
"Are we not very similar?"
Shao Xia took the opportunity to look at Jia Zan's face:
"No, it really doesn't look like that."
Jia Zan has a honest, square face, a mature look, and a very leadership-like demeanor.
Jia Song is more handsome and more handsome than his brother, and does not look like a biological brother at all. But the amazing thing is that Jia Le's appearance is somewhat inherited from his uncle. It is possible that one of the brothers looks like their mother and the other looks like their father, and Jia Le just happened to inherit it from the alternate generation.
After figuring out the relationship between the two brothers, Shao Xia remembered that she had never met Yu Xiaoye before and said:
"Brother Jia, I don't want to chat with you anymore. I haven't met my godson yet. I have to go see what my godson looks like now."
"Oh, you're accepting me as your godson now?"
"Yes, I have to hold my godson's thighs first, I'm leaving first - Jia Le's father, I'm going first."
