The next morning, Zhang Yi got up early at around four o'clock, tidying up inside and outside, not knowing what she was busy with.
Xiao Ai woke up from the noise and went out to see what she was doing.
"Mom, why are you up so early? Aren't you meeting at half past six?"
Zhang Yi stood in front of the refrigerator and took out a can of chili sauce, and said to her: "It takes about two hours to drive to Qiandao Lake. Breakfast will be done in the car. Teacher Chen wants to eat the chili sauce made by my mother."
Yu Xiaoai leaned against the door and sighed, "Then you don't have to get up so early, right?"
"Then I don't have to bring everything with me. The clothes and various accessories I need to change for today's photo shoot. I think the temperature is quite low today, and Qiandao Lake must be particularly beautiful. Teacher Tang said that I also need to wear Hanfu."
This Teacher Tang was Yu Xiaoai’s music teacher when she was in school. When she was young, she especially liked to dress herself up, and all the female classmates in the class liked to envy her.
"You must keep warm," Yu Xiaoai instructed.
"It's okay, we'll change in the car."
"How many of you are there in total?"
"Counting me, there are thirteen."
Yu Xiaoai grinned, that's a lot.
She couldn't sleep after being woken up by Zhang Yi, so she simply made some breakfast. She cooked porridge, boiled eggs, and made two kinds of side dishes.
After finishing it, it was time for Zhang Yi to set off.
Yu Xiaoai and Yu Zhenghong escorted her out of the door and said, "Have fun!"
Zhang Yi pulled a small suitcase and waved her hands coldly, paving a path in the white snow.
At the gate of the community, two teachers were already waiting there. When they saw Zhang Yi, they smiled and said hello.
"It's quite cold today, and the scenery by the lake must be particularly beautiful!"
"The minibus this time belongs to Teacher Wang's nephew. We can use it for the whole day. When we come back from Qiandao Lake and pass by Fengqi Mountain, we can also go to the foot of the mountain to play."
Zhang Yi asked: "Have you brought all your things?"
"Food and daily necessities are all provided, don't worry, Teacher Zhang."
A few people were chatting enthusiastically, and the other teachers also arrived one after another. After a while, the "Thirteen Hairpins" gathered together.
Teacher Wang took out the phone and said, "I'll call my nephew and see where we are. It's probably going to be there soon. Let's leave early so there won't be a traffic jam."
I called, but no one answered.
"Huh?" Teacher Wang said to himself in confusion: "Why don't you answer it?"
"Did you not hear it while driving?"
"Impossible, the phone is in the car, how can you not hear it?"
"Old Wang, hit me again."
In the midst of chatter, Teacher Wang called again. But still no one answered.
"What's going on?" Teacher Wang looked a little confused and became anxious.
The temperature was low in the morning, the wind was strong, and the blown snow hit our faces. On such a cold day, no one was in a hurry while standing outside.
"Lao Wang, is your nephew not coming?" a teacher asked.
"Impossible, I have said everything before and cannot change my mind." Teacher Wang dialed another relative.
They were all elderly people. After such a delay, more than ten minutes had passed. Everyone felt cold and couldn't help but complain.
Teacher Wang was also furious. She called her brother and asked, but her nephew hadn't gotten up yet. He had drunk too much last night and he hadn't sobered up yet! This made her furious and scolded her on the phone! Teacher Wang back then
I teach physical education in school, and I'm famous for my hot temper.
Several teachers quickly stopped her and told her not to be angry and to think of other solutions. After hanging up the phone, everyone started discussing.
Yu Xiaoai finished breakfast at home, packed up, and left the house fifteen minutes earlier than usual. When she walked to the gate of the community, she saw that her mother and the others hadn't left yet, and they were chattering about something. She couldn't help but
Walk forward.
"Mom, why haven't you left yet?"
Seeing that it was her, Zhang Yi sighed and said, "Don't mention it. Teacher Wang's nephew drank too much last night and couldn't come. Do you think it will delay things?"
"Then what should we do? How are you going?"
When Teacher Tang next to Zhang Yi saw Yu Xiaoai, he suddenly shouted in surprise, pulled her to his side, and said happily: "Xiaoai, can you help us with this!"
"I?"
"Xiao Ai?"
Yu Xiaoai and Zhang Yi asked in unison in confusion.
Teacher Tang's words attracted everyone else's attention to her, and Teacher Tang said: "Xiao Ai, isn't your boyfriend the boss of the company? It's not a difficult thing to bring a whole minibus here, right? You help us
Just ask, we will pay as much as you need."
When Yu Xiaoai heard this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi didn't even think about it and blurted out: "Where did our Xiao Ai get her boyfriend?"
"Sister Zhang, don't hide it. We have all met Xiao Ai's boyfriend. He always sends Xiao Ai home. The young man is a nice guy. He greets us every time we meet. He has a very sweet mouth. I have talked with him.
, you know what he does, how many people in the family are suitable for your Xiao Ai." Teacher Tang said in a clear and logical manner.
Zhang Yi heard what Teacher Tang said and held it back in one breath. At this juncture, if she insisted on not agreeing to it, she would have offended everyone.
She whispered to Yu Xiaoai: "Then you should call Guo Jinchen and ask him if there is anything he can do."
Yu Xiaoai took the phone to the other side and called Guo Jinchen.
"A minibus? There is actually one in the company." After listening to Yu Xiaoai's words, Guo Jinchen said, "If you do this, let the aunties go home and wait. I will arrive in an hour."
"Is there really a minibus?" Yu Xiaoai asked again uncertainly, and then said: "Don't bother, just find a driver to drive over."
"Okay, I understand." After Guo Jinchen finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Yu Xiaoai came over and said to them: "My boyfriend said he will be here in an hour. Teachers, please go home and wait. When the time is up, then gather here."
"That's great!"
“Xiao Ai’s boyfriend is so awesome!”
The teachers were very happy when they heard that they could use the car.
Yu Xiaoai saw the teachers walking into the community and said to Zhang Yi: "Mom, you should go home first, I'm going to work."
"The car will surely come, right? No, I said the whole community knows about you two?"
Yu Xiaoai shrugged her shoulders and said with a helpless look: "Mom, you also know that Guo Jinchen loves to talk. He used to send me home when I saw the neighbors saying hello, and he would also talk to me. Everyone who came and went knew him.
Besides, he was recuperating at our house at that time, and the neighbors all knew about it."
Zhang Yi pursed her lips and exhaled heavily, blaming herself in her heart. Indeed, she had neglected this point.
