tenth year of teaching

Chapter 79
No matter what Chu Xia said, Li Na just refused to go home.

The two were in a stalemate for a long time, and Lao Chu couldn't stand it anymore.He came over, grabbed the girl's sleeve, lowered his head and looked into her eyes seriously: "Girl, you didn't grow up because of the northwest wind. It was all caused by your mother pooping and peeing. I'm sorry. No one can be sorry to his parents. Let me tell you, there will never be anyone who cares more about you than your parents. My daughter, your class teacher, is still suffering from a cold and fever. Your mother will call you and she will have to come from Yuyang. I drove over to find you. Do you know how many people are looking for you when you run out? Don't be so ignorant, let's go." After that, he didn't care about Li Na's reluctance, and directly took her arm and dragged her away.

Lao Chu walked so fast that Li Na couldn't get away and was dragged away.Chu Xia trotted after him, thinking that his father would have something to do.Lao Chu's taxi stopped outside the station, and the three of them got in. It was already dark outside.On the way back, Chu Xia kept persuading Li Na.Lao Chu turned on the heater to the maximum, stepped on the accelerator and hurried back. When he arrived in Yuyang, he picked up Mother Li, who had already rushed to the city, and sent mother and daughter back home in one fell swoop.

When Chu Xia saw Li's mother crying and holding Li Na in her arms, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.After everything was settled, the two of them hurried back. It was dark outside, the mountain road was winding, and there were no street lights, so they could only walk slowly by the dim moonlight.They are all winding mountain roads, one-way roads, and there are many large trucks rushing to deliver goods before New Year's Eve at night.After a slow and slow journey, Lao Chu called Dr. Zheng to tell him that it was safe.Chu Xia looked at her father and felt very at ease. Lao Chu never talked much, but no matter what mother and daughter did, they would support him and never complain.

"Dad, you are tired today." Chu Xia said drowsily.

Lao Chu turned his head and glanced at his daughter: "Let's get some sleep, we still have to get home in more than an hour."

In the twelfth lunar month, the mountainous areas are deserted. The occasional roar of a large vehicle disappears around the corner, leaving only silence.Chu Xia fell asleep in a daze, wondering if Li Na would run away again?How should students who see no future work hard in the future?
Dr. Zheng woke up early the next morning and had already gone to work. He still had the food heated in the pot, but he just locked the door and took the key away.The junior high school student also rushed back to the city early in the morning. It was easier to make money at the end of the year. He planned to work for a few more days before coming back. He still owed some foreign debts for the newly bought building after graduation in early summer.She had always taken her salary in early summer and given it to her parents at the end of the year. Dr. Zheng saved it all separately, saying it would be used when she got married.

After staying there for a few days, the cold finally subsided.It’s almost New Year’s Day, and Dr. Zheng is starting to prepare New Year’s goods again.During the period, Chu Xia called Li Na's mother several times. After running away from home this time, Li's mother did not dare to speak harshly about her child, and accompanied her carefully every day, and Li Na's mood stabilized to some extent.But the headache symptoms started to get worse again, and Li’s mother said that she would take her to the city hospital for a check-up after the Chinese New Year.

I was sleeping late that day, and I was awakened by a smell in Chu Xia. I sniffed unkemptly and giggled at the door of the kitchen.

"Mom, what are you cooking that tastes delicious? It smells so good?"

Doctor Zheng looked like he had seen a ghost, "Hurry up and wash your face. What's wrong with you? With such virtue, it's no wonder you don't even have a boyfriend."

"Tch." Chu Xia dismissed it, "Your son-in-law is waiting in line, why are you in a hurry." She moved forward and said, "What?"

"Braised wings, oops, go away, it's full of oil." Doctor Zheng held the shovel in one hand and the pot lid in the other, and could only push her away with his elbow.

"What's that pot?"

"I'll make you some stew. Pork ribs are very expensive now." Dr. Zheng was chattering while his men were busy working quickly.

"No, there's still a scent." She sniffed and sniffed closer.

"Are you a dog with a nose?" Doctor Zheng laughed. "Your father brought you a roast duck from Quanjude. Hurry up and wash your face. It's time to eat later."

"Oh yeah!" Chu Xia shouted excitedly, jumping up and down to brush her teeth and wash her face.

Dr. Zheng laughed and scolded from behind: "Don't follow anyone? Sooner or later you will turn into a pig."

"As you wish, as you wish! Hum!"

A room full of sunshine and a year of peace!
The family was happily eating when the doorbell rang.

"Who is it?" Doctor Zheng asked.

"You are so strange. How do you know if the door is not open?" Chu Xia kicked off her slippers and went to open the door. Zhang Yan stood at the door with a haggard face. She was stunned for a moment.

"Who is it?" Dr. Zheng came over, "Hey? Whose child is this?"

When I woke up in early summer, I felt bad.While saying to Doctor Zheng, "This is my student," he quickly pulled him in and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Zhang Yan shook his head and was dragged directly into the room by Chu Xia without saying anything.Chu Xia gave him Shengle a bowl of rice, sat him down on a chair and said, "Eat." Zhang Yan didn't speak and didn't move his chopsticks. Chu Xia looked at him and picked up the chopsticks and stuffed them into his hands and said, "Eat, don't eat." I don’t care about you.”

Zhang Yan looked up at Chu Xia, lowered his head and started to eat.Lao Chu glanced at him and continued to eat. Doctor Zheng opened his mouth to speak, but his daughter stared back. She turned to look at Lao Chu, who shook his head.The two finished eating quickly, packed up their dishes and went into the living room to watch TV.

Chu Xia looked at Zhang Yan who was silently pulling rice, then went to the kitchen and took out a pair of chopsticks to pick up some vegetables and put them in his bowl.She watched him shed tears while eating, and said to herself, "It's okay, as long as he can still cry."

After dinner, Chu Xia asked him: "Is your mother gone?"

Zhang Yan was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

"She told me before she left, you have to understand that she had to leave this time because of her own difficulties..."

"I know."

"You know? What do you know?" This time it was Chu Xia's turn to be surprised.

"I secretly followed her to the hospital. I had already asked her attending physician. I knew she was not alive for a few days. But I thought she wouldn't tell her, so I didn't ask, so that she would feel better. But I didn't expect She still wants to leave, even if she doesn’t let me accompany her in the last few days, why is my mother so cruel?”

"She's not cruel to you, she's cruel to herself. What mother doesn't love her child?" Chu Xia felt at ease at this time. Since Zhang Yan knew everything, she didn't hide anything. Let's see how he accepts it?When accepted.

"I don't have a father, and now I don't have a mother either." Zhang Yan cried while lying on the table. Boys rarely expose their weakness in front of others, so crying was even more uncomfortable.

Chu Xia patted his back every time, "You have to live well so that you can be worthy of her cruelty to you. Zhang Yan, you are a man, you have to get through it, go to college and give me the admission letter." Look, your mother."
