Wife, be more reserved

Chapter 206 Tangled Yan Ming

On National Day, not everyone wants to travel or have money to go out.

As Ou Jingya's best friend, Zhou Tong also took the bus back to Kui County on the National Day.

It's not that she doesn't like to travel to see the beautiful scenery outside, but as some copywriters said, the stars and the sea are beautiful, but tickets are also required.

Maybe in the future she can go wherever she wants without worrying about tickets, but now, she is not good enough and needs to work hard.

In fact, there is a faster and more comfortable route from Yushi to Kui County, that is, take the bullet train to Wanzhou Station, and then transfer directly to Kui County.

But just because taking a passenger car is more than 50 yuan cheaper than this route, she chose the bus that made her very uncomfortable.

Because to earn the 50 yuan, her grandmother needs 35 pancakes.

Anyone who has been on the bus knows that summer coaches know everything.

On the way back, she endured all kinds of strange smells, wearing earphones, listening to music, and looking out the window all the way, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a long five-hour long journey, Zhou Tong got off at the passenger transport center at around three o'clock in the afternoon.

She didn't tell grandma about her return in advance, just to give her a surprise.

Otherwise, according to grandma's character, if I tell her that I want to come back, she will definitely come back to the station to pick her up.

Grandma is getting old, and she is reluctant to take a car, Zhou Tong doesn't want her to go so far to pick him up.

After leaving the station, someone took a sign and asked her enthusiastically if she needed accommodation. She replied that I am a local, so that others would stop bothering her and go find someone else.

She didn't take the taxi that was parked at the door, and walked forward for tens of meters by herself to the bus stop, and waited for the bus.

After a while, the bus to their house came.

After she got into the car, she took out a coin from her pocket, a fifty-cent note, and put it in. After looking at the public car that had no space, she chose a seat near the door to stand.

Compared with his friends' families, the conditions of Zhou Tong's family are actually not so good.

I still live in an old house in an old part of the city without the kind of spacious and bright commercial housing that my friends have.

Because the houses are too dense and her home is in the middle of the house, even though it is sunny outside, she still has to turn on the lights during the day when she is at home.

Ten minutes later, after getting out of the car, Zhou Tong was carrying a bag and a suitcase, walking on the way home, meeting acquaintances from time to time.

Those people, like her, are neighbors living here.

They are very enthusiastic, unlike in Gaolou Daxia, even if they live opposite, the two families do not speak a word.

Although it is poor and the environment is not good here, it is more humane.

"Ah, isn't this girl Zhou Tong? Are you back?"

"How's the university? You are the first kid from us to be admitted to Chongqing University."

"Zhou Tong, have you found a boyfriend yet?"

"Your grandma told me yesterday that you are not coming back for the National Day and you are going to stay in school to study. Why did you come back today?"

"Yes, your grandma will be very happy to know that you are back."

Zhou Tong responded with a smile one by one.

After passing through several alleys, I walked into a dim tube building, and after going down several stairs, I found my home.

She took out the key and skillfully opened the door.

The first thing to do when entering the door is to turn on the lights. Although it is broad daylight and the sun is still outside, due to the location of her house, there is no light all day long and it is very dark.

This is a house of only over 40 square meters, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom.

Although the space is not big and the furniture is relatively old, the furnishings and layout of the whole room make people feel very tidy and warm at first glance.

Zhou Tong saw that there was no one in the house, so grandma should still be setting up a stall, so she didn't come back.

She went back to her bedroom, packed her bags, and turned on an air heater.

This is what heats the air.

Because the home is too dark and the air circulation is not good, it will be relatively humid, so during last summer vacation, she relied on part-time jobs to buy this machine with the money she earned from part-time jobs.

Not for herself, but for her grandmother.

Her grandmother has rheumatoid arthritis.

In fact, air conditioners are also available, but that thing is not only expensive, but also consumes electricity.

After turning on the air heater, the roof should be warmer and not cold and humid.

Zhou Tong opened the refrigerator, wanting to see if there were any dishes, and was about to start cooking.

To her surprise, as soon as she opened it, she saw all kinds of vegetables in the refrigerator.

She froze for a moment, wondering for a moment that this was not her own refrigerator.

Originally, she wanted to go out, buy some food, and cook some delicious dishes for grandma, as a happy National Day celebration.

But now, she doesn't need to go out, there are plenty of things in the refrigerator.

She smiled, grandma is very generous in grocery shopping now.

Putting on the apron, she played her favorite song on her mobile phone, and then began to get busy in the kitchen.

Although Zhou Tong's family environment is not good, but she never feels inferior, on the contrary she is very cheerful and optimistic, otherwise she would not be friends with Ou Jingya at school.
-
On the other side, Yan Ming came out of the teacher's house in the classroom dormitory of the school for tutoring, and happened to meet his former class teacher Wang Kuilin.

Wang Kuilin is now teaching Senior One again, still in the experimental class.

It's the same with teachers. Once they leave, they will lead another class until they retire.

"Yan Ming, are you going to tutoring again?"

Yan Ming smiled and said, "That's right, I just finished tutoring."

"You boy, what a great opportunity when I was with Lu Fei all day long, but if you put in a little effort and let him tutor you, you don't have to stay and repeat."

"Oh, old Wang, don't talk about me anymore, I'm not the prodigal son who turned back."

Because it was not related to the class teacher, Yan Ming was less afraid and yelled more casually.

Wang Kuilin doesn't care whether Yan Ming is old or young, as long as he doesn't call himself Xiao Wang, he will be fine.

After all, that was the nickname given to him by the headmaster.

He smiled and said, "You are just lucky. You caught the last train and you can repeat the exam this year. Now that the new education policy has come down, you won't be able to repeat it in the future."

"Hey. Who said no."

"By the way, I remember your grades. It should be no problem to go to a junior college last year. Why don't you leave?"

"Old Wang, I am a person with great ambitions. How can a junior college be my goal? I am a man who wants to take the 985 exam."

Wang Kuilin joked: "So, you found another way and went to learn physical education?"

"It's called being adaptable. Otherwise, with my grades, you know, even if I study for another two years, I won't have a chance."

"You still have self-knowledge." Wang Kuilin encouraged: "Come on hard. Although you take the sports route, the cultural performance of a good school is still not very low."

"Yeah." Yan Ming nodded: "Old Wang, I'll go first."

"Go."

Wang Kuilin looked at Yan Ming's leaving back, shook his head with a smile, and sighed: "Compared to before, it really has changed."

No matter what, he was his student before, and he would be happy if he could become a promising student.

After Yan Ming and Wang Kuilin separated, they left the school together and came to Grandma Zhou Tong's stall.
This has become his daily habit.

When the old man saw Yan Ming coming, he smiled and asked, "Are you done with tutoring today?"

"Yeah." Yan Ming smiled.

The old man handed Yan Ming the pancakes that had been wrapped long ago, and said, "Here you are, the two pancakes I just baked for you, eat them while they are hot."

"Thank you grandma." Yan Ming shouted after Zhou Tong.

"You're welcome, I just want to thank you." The old man smiled and said, "Every time you come to eat my two pancakes, you have to help me carry so many things back."

It turned out that whenever Yan Ming had time, he would come to help the old man carry some things from the stall home.

At first, the old man felt embarrassed and refused, but Yan Ming said that he would eat the old man's pancakes for free, which would be regarded as a reward.

After going back and forth several times, and with Yan Ming's thick skin and sweet mouth, the old man reluctantly accepted it.

After eating pancakes and helping the old man close the stall, he took the remaining things in his hand and walked home with the old man.

"Boy Yan, how is your study recently? How is your tutoring?"

"good."

"If there's anything you don't understand, when my girl comes back, I'll let her teach you."

The old man proudly said: "She is still very good at studying, and this year she was admitted to a key university in our city."

"I know, her grades are always in the top of our grade, and I often see her name on the list, she's amazing."

"Hahaha" The old man laughed happily when he heard his granddaughter being praised.

When sending the old man to the gate of the building, Yan Ming said: "Then grandma, I will leave first."

"Hey, why don't you go and sit in the house for a while, and I'll cook you a meal."

The old man warmly invited: "Last time you bought so many vegetables in the refrigerator, I haven't finished them yet."

"It's okay, isn't it in the refrigerator, eat slowly, I have something to do today, so I won't eat it, let's do it another day."

"Well, it's the holiday today, and your family members are probably waiting for you to eat."

"Hey. Then I'll go first. Goodbye, grandma."

"Goodbye."

After Yan Ming left, the old man went upstairs. When she got to the door of the house, she heard movement on the roof. She was startled, thinking that a burglar had entered the house, so she quickly opened the door.

Immediately, a smell of rice came to the nostrils.

The old man looked at his granddaughter wearing an apron, and said in surprise, "Tongtong, why are you back?"

"It's vacation, I miss you and come back."

Zhou Tong looked at the grandma who opened the door and came in, quickly took the things in grandma's hand, and said: "From now on, grandma, don't go to set up a stall. I'm already in college. I can work part-time to earn tuition and living expenses, and I can also apply for scholarships." .”

"There's enough money there. While I'm still moving, I can earn a little for you and save it."

Grandma smiled as she washed her hands, "Besides, when you go to a big city and go to school, don't treat yourself badly, just buy what you need, don't save, lest you be looked down upon by others."

"I don't care, grandma eats."

The grandma sighed: "You don't care about it. In the six years of junior high school and high school, although you have many friends, you have never brought a classmate with you. Grandma knows all about friends coming home to play."

"No, grandma, don't think too much."

Zhou Tong explained: "That's because there is nothing interesting in my house, and they will be very boring when they come."

"Didn't you dislike the poor family?"

Zhou Tong shook his head and said, "I've never been disgusted."

"That's good, I'm afraid you will blame me."

Grandma was eating, and suddenly asked: "By the way, do you have a friend named Yan Ming?"

Zhou Tong was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Well, they are from our school, but they are not considered friends, just acquaintances."

"This guy is not bad. Every time he finishes tutoring at school, he will come to my booth to eat two pancakes, and then help me take the things home."

The old man said: "No, he helped me carry it downstairs just now. I originally wanted to keep him for dinner, but he said he had something to do and left."

"Oh." Zhou Tong bowed his head while eating, and responded.

"It just so happens that you are back now, do me a favor, and treat it as a favor."

The old man smiled and said: "But I made a promise with him, saying that my granddaughter is very good at reading, so I can help him with tutoring."

"Grandma, I don't have time."

"You are back, why don't you have time? Our family is not a white-eyed wolf. Grandma takes more care of him. You have to repay her no matter what."

The old man said seriously: "Furthermore, this young man was originally meant to repeat the exam. If he fails the exam this time, he will have no chance in the future. I heard that everyone said that it seems that he will not be able to repeat the exam next time."

"Then, all right." Faced with grandma's request, Zhou Tong had no choice but to agree first.

In fact, it wasn't that she didn't want to help Yan Ming with tutoring.

She would be willing to be anyone else, but Yan Ming is different, he is the person she likes, so it will be embarrassing.

"Grandma, did he tell you what school he wants to go to?" Zhou Tong asked.

The old man thought for a while: "No, I asked him several times, but he didn't say anything."

"Oh."

To be honest, she was very surprised when she found out that Yan Ming was re-studying through others, because with his personality, how could he choose to re-study? He hates reading the most.

After dinner, Zhou Tong washed the dishes.

The old man sat on the old sofa, took out the elderly phone, and said to Zhou Tong in the kitchen: "Girl, then I will call him now and tell him to come home, and you can give him tutoring."

"Grandma, you are too anxious." Zhou Tong stood at the door.

"An inch of time is worth an inch of gold. You have only been back for a few days in total. If you don't hurry up, you can delay it, but he, a child who is repeating, can't afford to delay it. You can make up for an extra hour, which is an hour."

After speaking, the old man dialed Yan Ming's phone and turned on the loudspeaker.

"dudu~~"

"Hey, grandma, why did you call me? Is there something wrong?" Yan Ming asked with some concern on the phone.

The corners of Zhou Tong's mouth twitched, how long have I been gone, is this grandma?

"Boy Yan, I have good news for you." The old man said happily, "My girl is back."

Yan Ming, who was eating, was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Oh."

"Didn't I promise you that my girl would give you tutoring? I told her just now, and she agreed. Come to my house tomorrow and let her tutor you."

"Grandma, let's forget about it. It's not easy for her to take a vacation. She wants to come back to accompany you."

"I am an old woman, what is there to accompany me, I set up a stall outside every day, and it is more important to give you tutoring."

The old man concluded: "That's it, come to my house at 9 o'clock tomorrow."

Seeing that Yan Ming was hesitant and didn't want to trouble himself, the old man deliberately said directly to the general: "Do you think my family's environment is poor and you don't want to come?"

"No, no." Yan Ming quickly explained: "Grandma, I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong."

"Then it's settled, come tomorrow. That's how I hang up."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Tong came out after washing the dishes, and she heard all the conversation just now.

"Grandma, if people don't want to come, don't force them. Also, although I don't know Yan Ming very well, he is not a person who hates the poor and loves the rich."

The old man smiled and said: "Of course I know he is not. He has come to my house for dinner several times. I am afraid that he will be embarrassed to come, so I squeeze him like this. Just watch, he will definitely come tomorrow."

"." Zhou Tong.

The old man said to his granddaughter: "When he comes tomorrow, you have to teach him carefully, do you know?"

"Oh."
-
In a commercial house in a certain community, Yan Ming didn't feel like eating at all.

When you don't come back, you want the other party to come back and see you.

Now that he was back, he was a little afraid to see each other again.

At this moment, his mood is a little complicated, more entangled.

When the two meet tomorrow, they don't know what to say.

"Son, why are you in a daze?" The woman sitting on the table asked curiously.

Yan Ming came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "It's nothing, Mom, I'm full, I'm going back to my room to study first."

"."woman.

I haven't even started eating this meal yet.

In the past, she disliked her son for not liking to study, but now she is worried that his son loves to study too much.

Sad.
