FSC [QT] Chapter 77.2

The old saying was indeed right, a brawny boy would eat the teacher bankrupt.

The seven students she brought out today were at the stage of growing up. It was a rare opportunity for them to eat such delicious food, and they could not hold back for a moment and opened their stomachs.

This almost bankrupted Teacher Ye Wu.

In the end, the little sour soup left from the sauerkraut stewed with pork was used by several students to dip their steamed buns. Not a single drop was wasted.

After they were full and came to their senses, the students regretted it. They had clearly agreed before coming to the state-owned restaurant to eat less and not spend too much of the teacher’s money, but when they really tasted the meat oil, their rationality went astray.

The children who had eaten their fill felt secretly ashamed and wondered what they could do to repay their teacher.

It would be great if they could achieve good results in this competition. They heard that the first place winner could get a bonus of 10 yuan from the county, and the worst third place winner could get 5 yuan.

Moreover, since the county would be given rewards, the commune should also make some representation.

If it was the worst case, they would help the teacher fetch water and clean the classroom. Anyway, they were used to doing such work.

Ah Wu didn’t know what these lovely children were thinking.

After dinner, she saw that the time she and the Principal had agreed on was approaching, so she took the children to the road leading to the Hongxing Commune outside the county town, waiting for the Principal to drive the ox cart to pick them up.

The ox cart was naturally borrowed from the commune.

No matter what, the children represented the Hongxing Commune in the competition. Although the people in the entire commune didn’t think their students could achieve good results, they still had to help with this little favor.

After all, the Hongxing Commune was not close to the county town. According to the children’s walking speed, it would take at least three hours to walk.

Ah Wu went to school first and then rode a bicycle with her two children back to Zhangjiagou.

This bicycle was bought by Ah Wu last year. It was a Phoenix brand. Because it was a second-hand old bike, it did not need a bicycle ticket. Moreover, the price was more than half cheaper than a new one. It only cost Ah Wu more than 80 yuan.

This bicycle was obtained by Kuang Aijun’s boss through connections. It was said that it was originally a public bicycle of a certain cadre. It was a bit old and some parts needed to be repaired. It happened that the cadre was promoted and could now share a car with other leaders, so this bicycle was naturally scrapped.

Although it was a scrapped bicycle, after being repaired and painted, it looked no different from a new bicycle.

At least, Ah Wu used it very smoothly, and it didn’t feel that this was a bicycle that had been ridden for several years and had broken down several times.

The appearance of this bicycle largely solved Ah Wu’s problem of difficulty in going to school.

In the past, she had to walk for at least 40 to 50 minutes to bring her two children to the commune primary school to teach.

Because the children were young, Ah Wu had to walk and stop, taking turns holding the two children.

After getting this bicycle, Ah Wu asked her skillful father-in-law to make a double chair that could be fixed on the back seat of the bicycle, and there was a cloth strip on it to prevent the child from falling off the back seat.

Every day when riding a bicycle to take the child to school, Ah Wu could save nearly half an hour of time spent on the road.

Kuang Aijun must have been an outstanding person when he was alive, which was why his former superiors still remembered his wife and children many years after his death.

Ah Wu thought that after the movement was over, she would definitely build a new grave for Kuang Aijun and burn more paper money for him.

“Cao Ni’er is back!”

“Cao Ni’er, go home and see who is back!”

“Cao Ni’er, you are so lucky.”

Today was different from usual. From the village entrance to the door of the house, every villager Ah Wu met had a smile on their face, with a somewhat complicated expression, a mixture of relief, excitement, and some indescribable weirdness.

“You said it wrong. She is not going home. She should go back to her parents-in-law’s house.”

“Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and take the kids there.”

Each and every one of them was more anxious than she, the person involved. They wished that they could speed up for her and go home quickly.

Ah Wu was even more suspicious.

Who came to her house to make the villagers behave like this?

But these people seemed to want to give her a surprise. They only told her to go home quickly, but they didn’t say who came back.

Ah Wu couldn’t figure out which big shot came to her house and would be a blessing for her.

But since everyone said so, Ah Wu didn’t plan to go home. She rode her bike directly to her Eldest Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law’s house not far away next door to see who came.

“Grandpa, Grandma, Second Aunt is back!”

Ah Wu parked her bicycle in the yard, locked it, and took down the two children who had been running around all day and were already dozing off.

Before she could go in, she was frightened by the loud voice of her eldest nephew Kuang Jianye.
