Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 811 Thank you first
February 1st is the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, and it is only a few days away from the New Year's Eve. I need to discuss with my master what to buy for the New Year this year. After all, my master is at home this year, and as long as he is at home, he has the final say on most things.

Wang Zhan mentioned this to his master a few days ago, and Qi Dasheng said, "Wait a minute. The army has some gifts for you, and Old Li has also prepared one for you. There is also one for you from the street office. When they all arrive, we can discuss what to buy. By the way, your Uncle Li will also come over for the New Year this year."

Wang Zhan was very surprised. He waited until today. After dinner in the evening, Wang Zhan took out all the bills and put them on the table, including the five hundred yuan given by the army and the two hundred yuan given by Uncle Li.

Qi Dasheng, Wang Zhan, He Yushui and Wang Li sat on each side and started to discuss. Before Qi Dasheng could speak, Wang Zhan seemed to suddenly think of something. He picked out two B-grade wine tickets, two two-jin meat tickets, five cigarette tickets, and finally took out twenty yuan and handed them to He Yushui.

He Yushui was confused. Wang Zhan said, "You live with me now, but Shazhu is your brother after all. You lived with him when you were a child. After all, the blood relationship is still there. Although we are no longer related, we can't be heartless. Buy some things tomorrow and send them to him in the evening."

He Yushui lowered his head but nodded. Qi Dasheng looked at his apprentice with approval.

Qi Dasheng then said, "First of all, you don't need to buy chicken. I'll take care of the fish. We're going to go to Miyun Reservoir to cast some nets before the New Year. You go buy the beef and mutton." Then he put the beef and mutton tickets and a hundred yuan in front of Wang Zhan.

Qi Dasheng said, "As for the vegetables, you don't have to worry about it. I heard there is a base in Yuquan Mountain with fresh vegetables. Mr. Li told me before that we will go there tomorrow."

As he was talking, Qi Dasheng put all the wine and cigarette tickets into his pocket. Wang Zhan stared at him and asked, "Master, what do you mean by this?"

"You don't need this thing, so leave it to me." Qi Dasheng said shamelessly.

This made Wang Zhan angry, and he said, "No, keep four for me. We will all graduate next year, and this New Year we plan to buy something together to thank our teacher Yang and Principal Ren."

When Qi Dasheng heard this, he left four Class A liquor tickets and four Class A cigarette tickets on the table without saying a word. Wang Zhan quickly handed them to He Yushui and asked her to keep them.

Just when Qi Dasheng wanted to continue speaking, Wang Zhan winked at him and nodded to his sister. Qi Dasheng understood instantly. Qi Dasheng took out another fifty yuan and put it in front of Wang Li. Wang Li, who had thought it had nothing to do with her and was in a daze, was stunned for a moment.

Qi Dasheng said: "The couplets, lace, candles, lanterns, and firecrackers are now handed over to little Wang Li. Can you complete the task?"

Wang Li smiled instantly, saluted in a proper manner, and said, "I promise to complete the task."

Wang Zhan slapped his forehead and thought, "This unreliable master, what he said at the beginning was very good, but why did you add firecrackers later? My sister started setting off firecrackers last year and she almost scared herself."

Wang Zhan said, "Okay, take what you want. Take as much money as you need. Don't be reluctant to spend money on dinners. I know you had a lot of social events before the New Year. Leave the rest to me."

Wang Zhan really couldn't bear to listen any longer. He Yushui also came out of her previous emotion at this time and covered her mouth with her hands, laughing secretly.

Qi Dasheng didn't hesitate and took the five hundred yuan directly. He knew that his apprentice was not short of money.

From the next day, Qi Dasheng had not appeared in the courtyard, but there were a lot of things in the warehouse, and no one knew when Qi Dasheng brought them back. On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, several friends gathered at Wang Zhan's house, and Fei Qing even brought a few bottles of wine and a few boxes of biscuits. The biscuits were obviously from the army.

After discussing it, everyone decided that if they took too many things, the teacher and the principal would definitely not accept them, so they just took two bottles of wine, two packs of cigarettes, two boxes of biscuits and five pounds of pork. Pork can still be bought in the market, but if you want to buy more, you are overthinking. The pork was bought by Heipi's mother, Aunt Zhang.

He Yushui was in a very good mood today. She was even singing while washing her face in the morning. Wang Zhan was busy preparing things so he didn't ask about what happened when she returned to the compound last night. He thought he would ask about it after he came back after visiting the teachers and the principal.

In this way, seven people and a tricycle headed to Teacher Yang's home. Teacher Yang's family of four were busy cleaning the house. When they heard someone calling her in the yard, they stuck their heads out and asked, "Who is it?"

"Teacher, it's us. We're here to see you." Xiaowu shouted.

Teacher Yang walked out of the room and saw that it was these guys. Behind them was Wang Li, who had been in her class for several years. Wang Li ran over and rushed over. Teacher Yang smiled and hugged her. Wang Li said, "Teacher Yang, I miss you so much."

Teacher Yang smiled and scratched her nose, saying, "I miss you, too."

Teacher Yang greeted him warmly, saying, "Come in and sit down, Lao Liang, Lao Liang, stop busying yourself, my students are here, make a pot of water."

In the house, it was the first time that Wang Zhan saw Teacher Yang’s two children, one was about ten years old, and the other was younger than Wang Li, about five or six years old.

Wang Zhan slapped his forehead and said, "Teacher Yang, I heard that you took a semester off. It turns out you went to have a baby."

The others also suddenly realized what was going on. Teacher Yang laughed and said, "I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would disturb me."

At this time, Teacher Yang looked at the things that several people brought in, and his face suddenly turned cold. He said, "What are you doing?"

Wang Zhan said quickly, "Teacher, don't be angry. Listen to me. This is our last year. Although we can see each other again in the future, we have left school after all. There is no greater gratitude than the teacher's kindness. Over the years, you have been so considerate to us, and we remember it in our hearts. We are not here to give gifts, but to visit our teacher. You must accept them. These are not bought with our parents' money, but with the money we earn from buying fish. They are our small tokens of our gratitude."

Teacher Yang finally relaxed his frown, but still said, "You can't give gifts."

At this time, Teacher Yang's wife came over and said, "Old Yang, the students expressed their feelings and created it with their own hands. No matter how big or small this is, you have to accept it, otherwise it will disappoint the students."

Fei Qing said, "Teacher Yang, please accept it. We have seen and remembered your kindness to us for six years. It is all thanks to you that we have grown from little kids who knew nothing to where we are today."

Teacher Yang burst into tears instantly, and Comrade Lao Liang put his arm around her shoulders and patted her a few times.
