Chapter 433 Teacher-Student Friendship
The Haixin Tea Art brand is still there, but the door is closed, with the words "for transfer" posted on it.
Could it be that Zheng Haixin has stopped doing business?
It's normal when you think about it. Zheng Haixin has a pharmaceutical factory and a research and development base in Shuiming Township. She also has to go to graduate school and has no time to take care of the tea club's business.
It's time to go!
With this thought, Li Yuanlang turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator, heading straight to the Guangnan Expressway Toll Station.
The entire journey from Guangnan to Yunshui was on expressway, and it was almost noon when we arrived.
As soon as he entered Yunshui City, Li Yuanlang had an intuitive feeling that this place was far worse than Guangnan City.
There are also many high-rise buildings, but there are relatively more bungalow areas.
The streets are full of pedestrians and vehicles, but the order is chaotic.
It is very common for pedestrians and electric vehicles to run through red lights. On the way, I saw two traffic accidents at intersections where vehicles and electric vehicles collided.
The key thing is that he walked around a long way and didn't even see a traffic policeman on duty on the street.
Seeing the big from the small, Li Yuanlang deduced from this that Yunshui City was also a bit worse than Guangnan in terms of management.
It was already lunch time, so Li Yuanlang naturally couldn't go to the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department.
He parked the car on the side of the road, facing the midday winter sun, and saw a small fly shop, so he opened the door and walked in.
Li Yuanlang didn't have any big requirements for food and clothing. He only had enough to eat and clothing to keep him warm.
And he also particularly likes this kind of small restaurant. Although the environment is a bit worse, the taste of the food is often not inferior to that of the star chefs in big hotels.
It was dinner time, and there were not many customers in the shop, only two tables of customers.
Li Yuanlang chose a seat facing the street and sat down, ordering a dish, a soup and a bowl of rice. He ordered too much for one person and it was too much to finish.
While waiting for the food, the door rang and a man and a woman walked in.
The man looked to be in his thirties, wearing a black down jacket and carrying a black briefcase with the leather peeled off.
The girl following behind her was still childish and looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had a ponytail and a dark pink down jacket that was wrinkled and slightly dirty.
The girl is not ugly in appearance. She lowers her head for a while, then looks up and sneaks around, timidly, and fidgeting with the corners of her clothes from time to time.
Li Yuanlang was very curious about the matching of the two people's behaviors. He couldn't help but light a cigarette and observe carefully.
They happened to be sitting at the table next to Li Yuanlang, so they could hear what they were saying clearly.
As soon as they sat down, the man handed the recipe to the girl, "Huang Lijuan, you can order whatever you want. The teacher is treating you today." The man said generously.
"Teacher Wang, I..." Huang Lijuan moved her lips and buried her head again, even deeper.
When the man who was Teacher Wang saw this, he did not force himself and asked the waiter to order four dishes and one soup. The combination of meat and vegetables was very reasonable, especially in line with the taste of girls.
After ordering, Teacher Wang asked Huang Lijuan: "How is your mother's condition?"
"No, the doctor said..." Huang Lijuan pursed her lips and said in a very low voice, "The doctor said surgery is needed..."
"How much is left for the surgery?" Teacher Wang asked eagerly.
"At least five thousand yuan..." When Huang Lijuan said this, tears were already welling up in her eyes.
"Five thousand!" Teacher Wang frowned. After thinking about it, he told Huang Lijuan, "Wait for me here. I'll be back as soon as I go."
After that, the man quickly stood up and walked out of the restaurant. Li Yuanlang saw him trotting through the window without knowing what he was doing.
At this moment, the waiter brought the dishes to that table. Seeing the girl's appearance, he couldn't help but ask: "Where is the guy?"
"Ah!" Huang Lijuan raised her head and whispered softly: "Wang, Teacher Wang is out."
The waitress frowned, as if she sensed something was wrong, and immediately called the boss.
The two of them kept interrogating Huang Lijuan in unison. The girl was originally timid, so she was so frightened that she didn't know how to answer when the two took turns asking her questions.
My little face turned red with anxiety, I couldn't answer a complete sentence, and I almost cried.
As soon as the boss saw it, he immediately asked the girl for food money. They had already regarded Teacher Wang as a target of evading orders, and deliberately left the girl as a hostage and fled.
The total cost of the meal was less than 200 yuan. Huang Lijuan rummaged through her pockets and could only scrape together more than 50 yuan, which was still far behind.
"Uncle, aunt, why don't you return all these dishes? I really don't have that much money, I only have these..." The girl cried, looking helpless.
"Why do you want to withdraw? The dishes are already cooked and served, who is going to eat them?" the boss yelled with his eyes widened.
"But I didn't eat a bite, and I didn't even move..."
"No, you have to pay for the food after you order it. There is no such thing as refund." The waitress pretended to be intimidating and cheered and shouted beside the boss.
Li Yuanlang was so angry that he immediately slapped his chopsticks on the table and shouted angrily: "You are not allowed to embarrass the little girl, I will pay for the meal!"
When the boss heard this, he thought, this is great, someone else will pay for it, and he will not lose anything.
He immediately turned into a smiley face and came over to tell the amount of money. Li Yuanlang and his whole table scanned the QR code and paid the boss.
Finally, someone helped solve the urgent problem. Huang Lijuan came over and bowed deeply to Li Yuanlang, and said with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, uncle."
Li Yuanlang waved his hands repeatedly, "Little girl, your teacher should have gone out to do errands. You should eat first and wait for him slowly."
"I...waiting for him..." Huang Lijuan returned to her seat, grabbed the napkin on the table and wiped her eyes. She still lowered her head and kept fiddling with the napkin in her hand, letting the steaming food gradually cool down.
Li Yuanlang originally wanted to persuade him, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.
Even if he said it, the little girl wouldn't do it. Obviously, she trusts her teacher Wang very much and will never leave her alone.
After about ten minutes, Teacher Wang hurried back with his briefcase under his arm, beads of sweat still hanging on his forehead.
After sitting down, she wiped her face with a napkin and panted: "Huang Lijuan, here is 4,800 yuan." She took out a wad of bills from her briefcase and placed it in front of Huang Lijuan's eyes.
Then he took out a handful of money from his pocket, some odd and some round. He counted them, took out all the money in his pocket, and finally collected five thousand yuan, with a dozen yuan more.
All the thoughts were given to Huang Lijuan, and it was important for her to see her mother first.
Huang Lijuan refused, unable to resist Teacher Wang's repeated requests, and said with a straight face, "If you don't accept it, the teacher will be really angry."
In desperation, Huang Lijuan bit her lip with tears in her eyes and put the money into her inner pocket. She was so excited that she didn't even say a word of thanks.
"Okay, let's eat." Teacher Wang took the chopsticks and was about to hand them to Huang Lijuan.
However, Huang Lijuan whispered about what happened just now when her boss forced her to ask for food money. She also secretly pointed at Li Yuanlang and said that it was this uncle who helped her settle the bill.
Teacher Wang heard this and quickly came over to hold Li Yuanlang's hand and said a few words of thanks.
Li Yuanlang quickly said no thanks. When Teacher Wang saw this, he immediately took out his pocket to return the meal money to Li Yuanlang.
As a result, he immediately showed embarrassment after taking it out.
I just gave all my money to Huang Lijuan, and now my pocket is cleaner than my face. How can I have any spare money?
Just scan WeChat and withdraw all the money on the bank card, leaving only a little change, which is not enough at all.
But in front of Huang Lijuan, Teacher Wang couldn't say anything, so he whispered to Li Yuanlang: "Comrade, can you let me give you the meal money you advanced for me later?"
"No hurry, you guys eat first."
Li Yuanlang didn't take this matter to heart at all, and he didn't intend to take it even if he didn't return it.
It can be seen that this teacher Wang is a good person, he is very helpful to his students, and he is worthy of the word "teacher".
At Teacher Wang's request, Huang Lijuan ate a small bowl of rice. Although she looked very elegant when eating, she could still feel that the little girl must be starving.
After she finished eating, Teacher Wang would come to pack the bag and give Huang Lijuan all the remaining food to take away.
After seeing off Huang Lijuan, Teacher Wang sat down opposite Li Yuanlang and said very apologetically: "I'm sorry, I...I don't have money for the time being." After thinking about it, he put his mobile phone in front of Li Yuanlang.
"Although this mobile phone is an old model and has been used for many years, it must be worth a hundred and eighty yuan. You can keep it for now, and I will return it to you when I collect enough money."
Li Yuanlang said: "Why do you use the mobile phone? I saw it just now. You are a good teacher and you are willing to help your students. This is something I admire. Forget about the food money.
, consider it my intention to help that little girl."
When Li Yuanlang saw that it was getting late, he also finished his meal, grabbed the down coat on the table and prepared to get up and leave.
