Chapter 73: Tea Set and Marriage (1)

When I heard that I was going to move out again, my heart sank and I wondered why she would let me move out for no reason.But I can only agree. After all, we are not relatives, and she is very grateful for allowing me to stay, not to mention helping me contact other places.

In the evening, after Bai Hehe got off work, he took the initiative to knock on my door: "Ke An, you are very lucky. It just so happens that a colleague's client is a foreigner who is planning to settle down in Binhai. Now he is looking for a Chinese tutor. Do you want to go? "

"Foreigners?"

"Well, it seems to be from Korea." Bai Hehe is very familiar with me now, and joked at me with raised eyebrows: "What's the matter? Maybe it's a long-legged Oppa?"

I don't have the mood to care about long-legged Oppa now, I just want to support myself first, so I agreed decisively: "I will definitely go, where is it?"

"That's fine, you wait." Bai Hehe seemed happier than me, and after making a phone call, he said, "It's done, let's go out and talk now?"

I followed Bai Hehe and took the bus with her several times before arriving at the artificial sea in Binhai.After getting off the car and waiting for the ferry, Bai Hehe pointed to the sea in front of him and said, "Look, this area used to be land, and the earthquake five years ago caused it to sink. Later, the government simply included the sea area to the west. , turning Binhai into a small island surrounded by the sea on three sides."

I couldn't tell whether the sea in front of me was artificial or existed, so I nodded frequently to cater to Bai Hehe.She was very interested in telling me about the development history of Binhai, and I didn't know that it was still called Qingchuan City 5 years ago.It was later, together with the sea area, that the name was changed to Binhai, and then it called itself a seaside city.

And the place we are going to is a place where the terrain changes and rises during the earthquake.Later, it was developed into a place like a resort. According to Bai Hehe, there are still many fishermen living there, so many fish processing factories are located there.There are not many people going there at this point, and the ferry will only take half an hour.

After waiting for the ferry for a long time, it was already dark.The ferry was the last one, and the staff on it saw that there were only the two of us at the pier, and kindly reminded: "There will be no boats coming back later, do you still want to go?"

Bai Hehe didn't seem to have expected such a situation, so he turned to me and asked, "What should I do? Are you still going?"

If there is no ferry coming back later, does that mean you will spend the night there?I couldn't make up my mind for a while, "Why don't you call and ask if we can talk tomorrow?"

"Let's go?" The staff on the ferry urged us again.

Bai Hehe anxiously waited for the call to be connected, the other party was a little unhappy, thinking that since the appointment was made, why should the time be changed temporarily?I gritted my teeth and pulled Bai Hehe on my own initiative: "Go, let's talk first."

Finally, there was an opportunity to work, and I didn't want to give up.Bai Hehe saw me frowning all the way, put away the phone and came to comfort me: "It's okay, it's a town over there, and there are still residents living there? If you really can't come back, we two can open the room at night, as long as You can talk about your work."

The distance from here to there is not too far, and the ferry only takes 10 minutes to reach the other side.There is a big signboard next to the pier, which reads: "Qingyu Town."

I asked all the way according to the agreed place, and finally met this Korean Oppa in a relatively remote farmhouse.When we arrived, he happened to be sitting in the yard staring at the tea set on the wooden table in a daze.Bai Hehe took my hand and walked over: "Is it Mr. Jin?"

Korean oppa looked up at us, and with great difficulty uttered a few words in Mandarin: "Teacher?"

I nodded, "My name is Ke An."

"Conan." The South Korean oppa struggled to pronounce my name, but he still pronounced An as Nan, stood up and stretched out his hand and said, "My Chinese name is Jin Jun Zhong."

It was completely dark, and there were only insufficient fluorescent lights in the yard. I looked around, and it seemed that he was the only one living here.This made me a little worried. I wanted to talk about the evacuation in a few words, but when I communicated, I found that his Chinese was very bad, and my English was very limited.

Hearing that the two of us were completely unable to communicate well, Bai Hehe interpreted for us in proficient English.It was finally confirmed that the weekdays are from 6:8 pm to 1:[-] pm, and all day on weekends. A total of [-] yuan will be paid until he can fully learn the spoken language.

Bai Hehe asked me: "How is it? Mr. Jin means that if you want to agree, you have to confirm it now."

Without thinking about it, I nodded and agreed: "Okay."

"But, how do you take the ferry back from 6pm to 8pm?" Bai Hehe asked.

This is indeed a problem. If I want to take this job, I have to rent a house here, but I have no way to rent a house now.But if I refuse, maybe Binhai really doesn't have a suitable job for me.

Seeing that we didn't express our views, Jin Junzhong said with difficulty: "Mr. Ke, how are you thinking?"

"Hehe, why don't you ask him if he can provide him with a place to stay?"

This sentence happened to be understood by Jin Junzhong. He pointed to the small courtyard behind him and talked with Bai Hehe in English.Bai Hehe gave me an OK gesture, "Mr. Jin said it's okay, as long as you don't dislike it, you can live here."

When I heard that I could live here, I nodded and agreed without even thinking about it.I will talk about my work for the time being, but tomorrow night Jin Junzhong has something to do, and it will officially start from the day after tomorrow.Bai Hehe and I got up satisfied, and we were going to go out immediately to find a place to live first, and take the ferry back to the city tomorrow morning.

In this way, even if Yan Lu comes to me tomorrow morning and asks me to move out of her house, I will still have an official place to go.Although the money on my body may be difficult to maintain until the final settlement of wages, I think it is no problem to support simple expenses for a few days. If it is not possible at that time, I will discuss it with Jin Junzhong and ask him to make an appointment for me to pay some expenses.

Bai Hehe was wearing an ultra-short tutu skirt today. When he got up to say goodbye and was about to leave, the hem of the skirt accidentally brushed against the teacup on the wooden table.Jin Junzhong and I reached out to stop it at the same time, but before we could, the teacup was swept to the ground along with the skirt, and instantly shattered into pieces.

Jin Junzhong's face changed instantly, and he bent down to pick up the fragments as if distressed.Only then did Bai Hehe realize that he had caused trouble, and quickly knelt down to be careful: "I'm sorry Mr. Jin, I'm sorry"

I was also frightened, the teacup must be very important to Jin Junzhong, otherwise he wouldn't have squatted there staring at the fragments for a long time without making a sound.It wouldn't be worth it if the job just negotiated was lost because of such an accident.I also quickly squatted down, picked up a fragment from the ground and said, "Sorry, Mr. Jin, how much is this? How about deducting it from my salary?"

"Mr. Jin, I'll pay for how much money you said." Bai Hehe stopped me, took out his wallet from his bag, and prepared to pay.

After a long time, Jin Junzhong stood up with the fragments in his heart, "No, you can go."

Bai Hehe and I were stunned at the same time, feeling that his answer was obviously inconsistent with his performance just now.But he didn't think too much about it, and after saying sorry a few times, he quickly left.

Bai Hehe was still afraid: "Ke An, you scared me to death. If you lose your job because of that teacup just now, I will have to blame myself for a long time."

"It's okay." I was still holding the broken piece in my hand, looked at it by the light of the street lamp, and said, "This is just a rough imitation purple clay pot. It shouldn't be particularly expensive. I'll find a tea art shop some other day." Choosing another set of tea sets for him should make up for it, right?"

"Do you understand tea art?" Bai Hehe looked at me enviously, and then answered to himself: "But for someone like you, tea art really fits your temperament."

I actually didn't think I looked special, but Lei Xi and Bai Hehe both said that about me, which made me ask a few more questions: "Hehe, what can you see at a glance when you are on me?"

"Do you know what it was like when I saw you in the hospital for the first time?" Bai Hehe had already walked to the front, and turned his head and said playfully, "It's like a fairy, do you understand the fairy? The otherworldly fireworks kind."

I've never felt this way before, it's just that I've been blindly thinking about the problem all these years, and what I've been thinking is simply the truth.I was a little embarrassed by Bai Hehe's compliment, "Hehe. Look at what you said, I'm not as good as you, and it's hard to find a job."

Because there are many fish processing factories and related trading companies in Qingyu Town, it is not too small, and the construction is not much different from the urban area.We randomly found a place to eat a bowl of fish noodles, and found a suitable hotel near the pier. We were just about to go in and check in when we saw Jin Junzhong carrying a handbag and preparing to go to the nearby tea shop.

Out of politeness, Bai Hehe and I went to say hello. Seeing him walking into the store in a panic, Bai Hehe asked casually, "Is Mr. Jin here to buy a new teapot? How about I buy a set to compensate you?" ?”

Jin Junzhong shook his head, politely said it was all right, and then went into the tea set shop.Bai Hehe and I agreed not to go inside the hotel, but stood by the door to see if he wanted to buy it.I also thought that if he really wants to buy it, no matter whether I have enough money on me, he should pay the money first.

Through the glass of the tea set shop, I saw Jin Junzhong walking to the counter, taking out the broken tea set from his handbag, and asking the boss if he could repair it.The boss shook his head and said, "Sorry, we can't fix it here, or would you buy a new one?"

I have already realized the importance of this tea set to him, and I took the initiative to go up after he went out: "Mr. Jin, if you are at ease, give me the tea set, and I will fix it for you?"

Jin Junzhong looked at me in disbelief: "You? Know how to repair?"

I nodded: "I can try first."
