Chapter 62 The Principal's Cooking Skills
"Classmates, this class ends here. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time. get out of class is dismissed." Li Meng packed up his books and returned to the office.
"Wow, Teacher Li is so gentle and has a nice voice."
"I felt I could understand everything she said. She wasn't as strict as my previous teacher."
After Li Meng came out of the classroom, the students in the class began to talk about it. These third-grade kids are relatively older and they understand a lot of things. They know that Teacher Li teaches in the simplest way, so it is easy to understand.
"Oh my god, I was so nervous during class just now." Wu Ruirui walked into the office like a gust of wind, picked up the kettle and drank a sip of water and said to Li Meng,
"It's like this at the beginning, but you'll get used to it," the principal said with a smile.
Li Meng took a sip of water and said calmly: "I feel okay, the children are very obedient and take the class very seriously. Mengmeng, you are just scaring yourself, relax."
"You are still the best" Wu Ruirui gave Li Meng a thumbs up!
At this time, two more teachers came into the office. The man was probably in his forties, wearing thick glasses, with his hair combed meticulously. He looked very energetic and gentle. The woman was about thirty years old, with short hair, not very white skin, round eyes and a smile. She looked easy to get along with. Both of them were dressed simply and plainly.
"Come on, let me introduce you. These two teach grades 4 and 5. You two should get to know each other," the principal said with a smile as he asked them to introduce themselves to each other.
After getting to know each other, Li Meng learned that the male teacher's surname was Zheng and the female teacher's surname was Liang, and they were both from this village. So it seemed that only the principal and the two of them were eating here at noon, and Teacher Zheng and Teacher Liang went home for lunch.
The whole morning was spent teaching students. After school, there were some students who lived far away and did not want to run back and forth in the classroom. They all brought their own meals. There was a big stove behind the school. At noon, the students picked up wood and brought it back to boil water and steam rice. They were all children from farming families, and basically every child had the skill of making fire.
The first meal at school this afternoon was made by the principal. It was black-faced steamed buns with fried eggs and Chinese cabbage! Li Meng noticed that Wu Ruirui became listless after seeing the food on the table.
Although they can't eat meat every day, they eat well. It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality! I felt a little disappointed when I went back to eating black-faced steamed buns.
"Come on, come on, both of you sit down and have your meal, try the dishes I cooked and give me your suggestions," the principal warmly invited them to take a seat. Wu Ruirui smiled with an expression that was uglier than crying, which almost made Li Meng laugh.
After seeing the two of them sit down and taste the food, the principal hurriedly asked, "How is it? Are you used to it?"
"I'm used to it. I have a small appetite and I don't eat much," Wu Ruirui interrupted hurriedly, fearing that his slow answer would upset the principal.
The two of them looked at each other, munching on the black-flour steamed buns vigorously, without saying a word. After the meal, both of them felt uncomfortable and the principal didn't dare to say much to them. I can only eat in silence!
"Principal, I think we won't eat at school next week. My second uncle asked someone to get me a bicycle after he knew I was here as a substitute teacher. He was afraid that I would be too tired from running back and forth. With a bicycle, it will be much more convenient for us to go back and forth, and we will have enough time. So we should go back to Huanglong Village at noon." Li Meng suddenly thought of this good idea and said it quickly. She had plenty of bicycles in the shopping mall, so she could just find an excuse to take it out.
"Okay, as long as you can make it in time, and you can come when it's convenient for the students as it doesn't delay their schooling," the principal had no idea that Li Meng came up with this excuse just because of the meal. I agreed readily!
Wu Ruirui stared at Li Meng with bright eyes, his eyes full of admiration. Meng Meng is so awesome. This way she can benefit from it, hehe. When she gets back, she will write a letter to her parents and ask them to buy a new dress for Li Meng and send it to her.
The evening sun was glowing orange like a salted egg yolk. The children were leaving school in groups of two or three.
"Sister Mengmeng, oh, no, it's Teacher Li, let's go back together." Little Dazhu warmly invited her to go back to the village with them.
"Okay, wait for me to pack. You guys go to the door and wait for me. I'll be there soon," Li Meng said as she packed the books she was going to take back for class preparation.
After packing up, Li Meng and Wu Ruirui went back with the children from Huanglong Village who were waiting at the door!
"Did you see clearly? The girl in blue clothes is my sister. What do you think? She's pretty, right?" Li Juan said to the short and fat middle-aged man beside her, hiding in the corner, with a sinister look in her eyes.
"Hehehe, what a little beauty, you are willing to introduce her to me," the man said while slurping his saliva, with a lewd look on his face that made people want to vomit!
The person who was speaking was an old bachelor named Qin from Sanhe Village. He was ugly, short, and violent. His previous wife was beaten to death by him, and he told others that she died accidentally from a fall. Later, everyone in the surrounding area knew about him, and he could not get married anymore.
He started to peek at this woman taking a bath in the village today, and that woman going to the toilet tomorrow. Even after being discovered, he refused to repent. Then the villagers gradually started to ignore him! Women would avoid him when they saw him!
How did these two people know each other? To be honest, Li Juan was not a good person. She hooked up with male educated youth at the educated youth center, and then hooked up with young men in the village in order to get someone to help her with work. Later, she hooked up with the fat son of the village chief, but she still didn't give up and secretly had contact with many young men.
Later, when the bachelor Qin was collecting firewood in the grove, he saw Li Juan and three young men being affectionate in the grove at different times on the same day. Although they didn't do it to the end, they touched all the things they should have.
Finally, Qin the bachelor wanted to use this incident to threaten Li Juan into doing something indecent to her. Li Juan fought back desperately but was afraid that he would really spread rumors, so she told him that Li Meng was her sister who was coming to the village to be a teacher, and that she would introduce her to Qin the bachelor as his wife. Only then did Qin the bachelor not tell anyone about her.
Today is Li Meng’s first day at school. Li Juan later asked the village chief Wang Daguo about this, so she decided to bring the old bachelor to take a look first.
When Li Meng is done with by the old bachelor, I wonder how she can still be so arrogant and show off in front of her.
I have to say that Li Juan is a really vicious person. If she had worked hard and started from scratch, her life would have gotten better and better, but she just wanted to get something for nothing.
