Teacher Zheng’s husband has passed away a long time ago. Her only daughter is now in the United States and has married in the San Francisco Bay Area. She has a child. Whenever she mentioned that she wanted to take Teacher Zheng to the United States, she refused. She refused very simply.
Two words: "Don't even think about it."
Going on, Teacher Zheng asked her daughter, why should I go to the United States to become an annoying old lady? Walking on the street, maybe I will be regarded as a "yellow peril"? I have my job here, and
My student, if you want me to live a few more years, just let me go.
The old lady is very stubborn on this point, and her daughter can't do anything about it. But fortunately, she knows that her mother is in good health and has nothing wrong with her. She lives in the school, and her colleagues, students and neighbors at the school take good care of her. As long as she has a little bit of
Whatever the situation, the courtyard, neighbors, or her students would definitely call her immediately.
In this way, compared to going to the United States, where she, her husband, and her children would disperse every morning to go to work or go to school, leaving her alone at home, with more people taking care of her.
Sheng Chuncheng was introduced by a friend. My daughter found him on the Internet and asked him to give her mother a health massage every week. If my mother has any physical condition, please let Mr. Sheng tell me.
Sheng Chuncheng agreed. At the end of each month, her daughter would transfer the cost of the health massage for the next month to Sheng Chuncheng, just like making a reservation. Moreover, Sheng Chuncheng told her that it would be three hundred per time, and she would
Five hundred was mentioned.
Sheng Chuncheng would come over every Sunday afternoon to give Teacher Zheng a massage, and then have dinner with her here. Teacher Zheng would cook a lot of Sheng Chuncheng's favorite dishes. This came from their first agreement.
Teacher Zheng is indeed very busy. When Sheng Chuncheng is massaging her, the mobile phone on the coffee table will often ring. People calling her include colleagues from the school, domestic colleagues, or students she teaches. As soon as they answer the phone, they
We will discuss the problem on the phone.
At this time, Sheng Chuncheng would sit aside and listen quietly. He heard what Teacher Zheng was saying about "shrinking the balance sheet," "opening the capital account," "excess liquidity," and so on.
Like to listen.
This kind of phone call can be as short as a few minutes or as long as ten or twenty minutes. Every time Sheng Chuncheng gives Teacher Zheng a massage, he will be interrupted many times by such calls. After hanging up the phone, Teacher Zheng will always apologize to Sheng Chun.
Cheng said:
"Sorry, Xiaosheng, I wasted your time."
Sheng Chuncheng quickly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Teacher Zheng, although I don't understand what you are talking about, I really like listening to it. What you are talking about are all important things."
Teacher Zheng quickly waved his hand: "There is no big deal. The real big deal is that everyone in the common people can have enough food and clothing. We are all scholarly people who can only sit and talk, so it is not worth mentioning."
That's what he said, but when he picked up the phone to discuss it, Teacher Zheng was very serious and didn't mean to be trivial at all.
On the day Sheng Chuncheng came for the first time, the massage was over and Sheng Chuncheng was leaving. Teacher Zheng took out a hundred yuan and gave it to Sheng Chuncheng. Sheng Chuncheng didn't want it, saying that your daughter had already given the money.
"What she gave you was the massage fee. What I gave you was the work-loss fee for delaying your working time. You have to collect this." Teacher Zheng said seriously.
Sheng Chuncheng refused, so he said seriously: "Then I am sitting here, listening to your phone calls, and still think I am in class, do I still have to pay tuition?"
Teacher Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. She said no, no, there is no price relationship. Education and seeking knowledge should be voluntary. If you come to class voluntarily, you should pay tuition, but you are listening to us on the phone.
, this is not voluntary, but passive acceptance, passive acceptance, how can it be said that it is a class, of course there is no need to pay tuition.
"Just like when I walked past a store and heard music playing in the store, I thought it sounded good, so I stood and listened for a while. Can the store charge me royalties? Of course not," Teacher Zheng said.
Sheng Chuncheng also got excited and said, "Teacher Zheng, what you said is wrong."
"What's wrong? Come on, tell me."
"Education is inherently passive. When we were young, our biggest wish was to skip classes and not go to school. But if we skipped classes, teachers would criticize us and parents would beat us. How can we say it is voluntary, including going to college? What about you?
If students could graduate without going to class, I think most of them would not go to class. Can you say that education is voluntary?
"We passively receive education, when will we no longer have to pay tuition?"
Teacher Zheng was stunned for a moment, sat up straight, and became excited. She subconsciously rolled up her sleeves. The cuffs were buttoned tightly and she did not roll them up. She said:
"Oh, oh, this is interesting. I want to have a good debate with you."
The two argued for a long time, but no one could convince the other. Teacher Zheng insisted that she should give the money, but Sheng Chuncheng insisted and refused to accept it. Teacher Zheng became a little anxious, as if he had encountered a problem, and muttered:
"What can I do? I have taught economics all my life, but I can't even give away a hundred yuan. Oh my, what can I do? This is really a big problem."
Sheng Chuncheng smiled slightly and said nothing, feeling satisfied in his heart. He didn't know how long it had been since he "quarreled" with the teacher like this. Sheng Chuncheng used to "quarrel" with the teacher like this in school, and all he got in exchange was
It was the teacher who rolled his eyes. Unexpectedly, the old lady in front of him was not only not anxious, but also became more and more excited the more she fought.
This old lady is really interesting. Sheng Chuncheng thought to himself, it would be great if he met all teachers like this when he was in college.
At the same time, Sheng Chuncheng made up his mind. Anyway, I won't accept the hundred yuan today, so don't even think about it.
The old lady was thinking hard. She looked at Sheng Chuncheng and suddenly thought of something. She clapped her hands like a little girl and applauded herself. She said:
"Well, that's good. Currency trading doesn't work, so let's change the path and barter."
"How to change?" Sheng Chuncheng asked.
"I wasted your time and asked you to listen to my call. In this way, every time we finish, I will give you some time and I will cook for you, okay? You eat with my old lady, of course.
Without flowers, you may feel that the gain is not worth the loss, but I also made up for it with food." The old lady said with a smile.
"If you calculate the account like this, it will be unclear." Sheng Chuncheng sighed and said, "However, I am very willing to have dinner with the teacher so that I can have more time for education. This education is voluntary.
"
The two of them laughed, and the matter was settled. Every Sunday, after Sheng Chuncheng's massage, he would have dinner at Teacher Zheng's place before going back, so Sheng Chuncheng left a note for Ding Huamei, saying, "
I'm going to Teacher Zheng's place." Ding Huamei knew that he would not come back for dinner. This chapter has been completed!
