I am financially free

Chapter 106, Teacher Zhang
The Jiang family buys a lot of New Year's goods, ranging from couplets, firecrackers, and snacks that are necessary for every household, to good cigarettes, wine, and tea for giving gifts. Under Jiang's mother's instructions, she has full control over the necessities for the New Year every year.

After going back and forth several times, the father and son worked together to pile the New Year's goods into the living room. After handing over the cooking task to Jiang's father and the three of them, Jiang's mother and Qin Lan sat next to the New Year's goods and began to carefully prepare each household and distant relative. Corresponding gifts for neighbors.

Although Jiang Chen's grandparents died early, it was necessary for both parties to go back and visit during major festivals like Qingming Festival and Chinese New Year.

When my brother Jiang Hao got married a few days ago, there were a lot of cousins ​​here. Leaving aside those distant relatives who purposefully borrowed money and built relationships, there were still a few people on Father Jiang's side who really needed to keep in touch.

As for Dan County, the families with good connections among them... such as the good aunt's family, Uncle Chen's family, cousins, etc., are treated equally and with the same importance as gifts for New Year greetings.

On this basis, considering the different family composition of each household, it is also necessary to clarify the number of red envelopes for the younger generation.

Jiang Ma controlled and prepared, teaching Qin Lan how to address and respond when she visits in the future.

Qin Lan is the daughter-in-law. With her status, she certainly does not need to worry about these things.But sooner or later, when other relatives visit, the experience of those who have been there will always come in handy.

"Got it, Mom."

Hiding the secrets between women deep in her heart, Qin Lan agreed naturally. The joy between her brows made this small family even more warm.

A few hours later, the family of five had a perfect welcome dinner.

The three men were very drunk and staggered around. Finally, with the help of Jiang Ma and Qin Lan, they were helped into the room with great effort.

……

The next day, the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, there were four days until New Year’s Eve.

According to the custom here in Dan County, visiting relatives to pay New Year's greetings is usually done after the New Year. On the first day of the first lunar month, no relatives are received, and family members do not go out. The whole family needs to be together to welcome the New Year happily and lively. The coming of the year.From the second day to the fifth day of the lunar month, this is the best time to visit elders and relatives.

but……

Because Jiang's mother has too many relatives and friends in Dan County, it is difficult to send New Year greetings to all her relatives in these four days. In order to prevent Jiang's father from being ignored, Jiang's father and Jiang's father met in the early morning. Hao and his wife went out together in the car, and rushed to Father Jiang's hometown first to pay their respects to the early years.

The only ones left at home now are Jiang Chen, who rarely sleeps in, and Jiang Ma, who plans to prepare the ingredients.

By the time Jiang Chen stretched himself out and woke up in the afternoon, Jiang Ma's preparations for fried hairtail and croquettes were almost in progress. The only thing left for Jiang Chen to do now was to open his big mouth and taste them one by one. Enjoying the delicious food made by my mother.

"This tastes amazing! Mom's cooking skills are even better than before!"

Jiang Chen, who didn't even wash his face, smacked his mouth and praised it sincerely in his heart.

Looking at the smile on my mother's face, no matter how my mother actually compares with those professional chefs, this taste of hometown and the deep family affection... With these foundations, what else is worth Jiang Do you pick and choose in the morning?

"After you wash up, put some rest on your belly. Xiaochen, please remember to pick up your things and pay a visit to Teacher Zhang's house!"

Jiang's mother looked at Jiang Chen who was walking to the bathroom and gave this serious instruction.

"understood."

Jiang Chen stuck his head out and responded with a bright smile.

Dancheng No. [-] High School (don't bring it into reality), this is Jiang Chen's high school alma mater, and it is also the key to his ability to move from high school to Linhai Double First Class.

During those three most difficult years, Mr. Zhang, the head teacher and Chinese teacher, was Jiang Chen’s guiding light.From learning to life guidance, from dealing with people to describing the blueprint for the future, I get along with students with my extensive knowledge base and eloquent literary skills.

This approachable, maverick little old man is undoubtedly Jiang Chen’s life mentor and spiritual leader during his high school career.

DCYG has many school rules and strict disciplines, which are well known to many colleges and universities. However, when Jiang Chen got into a fight with several related households because of some classmates' unbearable insults to his brother and relatives, only Mr. Zhang, who expressed his understanding and advocated that Jiang Chen was self-defense, insisted not to give Jiang Chen credit processing and career file records.

When he was almost tired of studying under the rules of "treating everyone equally" and advocating that doing things was wrong, it was Teacher Zhang who freed Jiang Chen from his dark mood!

A teacher who was considerate and persistent chose to resist the pressure when Jiang Chen was misunderstood and judged indiscriminately. There is nothing more worthy of a young man's gratitude and remembrance than this.

Driving his big G, Jiang Chen packed the two back seats with gifts. After driving for 10 minutes, he arrived at Teacher Zhang's home.

"Teacher Zhang! Teacher Zhang!"

Jiang Chen rang the doorbell and shouted loudly.

"I'm coming!"

A slightly aged voice sounded, and leaning out from the crack in the door was a little old man with gray hair but full of energy.

Teacher Zhang, whose real name is Zhang Zhenyue, is over 1.6 meters tall, has a slim build, gold-rimmed glasses, and a clean shaven chin.

I just successfully retired from my position two years ago, and now I am living an old-age life relying on my pension to support myself until the end of my life.

"Where's Teacher Wang?"

His wife’s surname is Wang, and she is also a senior teacher in a high school. She acts resolutely and clearly distinguishes right from wrong.When he was young, he and Teacher Zhang were both known as the two extremes of Dancheng High School.

"She went home to visit her relatives, and so did you, Xiaochen. You come here at this time every year. You say there is no shortage of things at home and you don't need to bring any gifts. Why are you so polite?"

Teacher Zhang complained, not showing any joy at the gift given to his student.But Jiang Chen could clearly feel the relief in that tone.

It's sad to say that, as far as Jiang Chen knows, among the many top students from prestigious universities taught by Teacher Zhang during his decades of teaching career, they often came to visit him in the end. Except for Jiang Chen and a few others, the rest The students are all what others call "poor students" and "inferior students"...

"These are all the teas you like, teacher. There are both Pu'er and Maojian. I specially asked someone to prepare the tender Jian."

Jiang Chen smiled and handed the gift to Teacher Zhang with both hands, and gave a junior salute very naturally.

Men like to drink tea as they get older, which is clearly reflected in their fathers and uncles. To be honest, Jiang Chen now has the idea of ​​​​storing hundreds of kilograms of good tea after the New Year.

"Okay, okay! Then I'll accept it. I'm afraid Teacher Wang will come back in the evening... Now it's just me and..."

"Brother Chen, are you here?"

Finally aware of the movement, a tall figure appeared from the corridor, directly interrupting Teacher Zhang's conversation.

　know everything...

　　I dare not write too much about the school, but it is completely true...
