"It's settled? It's really settled!" Du Zhicheng was shocked and sighed: "You two are too anxious. How old are they? You decided the matter in advance."
Han Aihua said with a smile: "They are not young anymore. Ah Sheng will be seventeen after the new year, and Zhixuan will be nineteen in the second half of the year. If it is according to our time, some people have already given birth to children. It is better to make a decision in advance, and they will be together in the future. We can support each other wherever we go, which puts us both at ease.”
Du Zhicheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "After all, times have changed. Nowadays, we pay attention to late marriage and late childbearing, which is good for both adults and children. They have not officially entered the society yet, and they will go to college in the future, and their days are still long. Getting engaged so early, Are you a little eager to get things done?"
Cai Yun has different opinions on this: "I think it's good. It's settled early and it takes away the worries of Lao Zhang's family. Besides, Lao Bai is doing business all day long and has no time to take care of his daughter. Now the two families are helping each other. The future of the two children is also more promising."
Du Zhicheng couldn't argue with his wife, so he had to say: "I know our Yunshan customs, getting engaged is relatively early. But after all, I am the principal of a high school, and according to the requirements of the legal class, I have to promote late marriage and late childbearing. You guys are doing this to me. I’m so embarrassed, I don’t even know what to say.”
Zhang Jianxiong laughed and said: "You don't have to say anything, just drink two more glasses of wine later. I say this to let you know that when the wedding is officially held in a few years, you will get a big gift." You owed me a share when I got married, but you can't owe me any more for the child."
When Du Zhicheng mentioned this, he felt a little regretful. At that time, he was sent to the countryside to support teaching and could not come back to attend Zhang Jianxiong's wedding. Before that, when he got married, Zhang Jianxiong found a bus to pick up and drop off the guests, which was enough to save his face, which made him feel a little sorry for his friend.
Cai Yun took over the conversation and said: "Of course, we must repay the favor you, Captain Zhang, gave us back then. Zhixuan is Teacher Bai's granddaughter. Regardless of the relationship, we cannot treat her badly. Don't worry. Well, I know a lot about them."
Han Aihua smiled and said: "Don't listen to Lao Zhang's nonsense. He has drunk too much these past two days and is talking nonsense. Just give it a try. But when Lan Lan gets married, we will definitely express it. She should graduate this year, right? ?Have you ever had a boyfriend in college?"
When this topic comes up, everyone's eyes turn to Du Xiaolan. Du Xiaolan was a little embarrassed and felt a fever on her face. She reluctantly said: "I'm still young, so don't worry. I'll make arrangements for staying in school this year. I think it's not too late to consider this after my job stabilizes."
After hearing this, Cai Yun was unhappy. She frowned and said, "Please hurry up. Your younger brothers and sisters are all taken care of. As a sister, you are not anxious at all. Competition in big cities is fierce, and good boys are in high demand." Yes. There are more girls than boys in your school. If you don’t hurry up, why are you waiting?"
Du Xiaolan pursed her lips and said: "Mom, how can anyone in a big city get married so early now? Yunshan is a small place, and customs vary from place to place. You can't ask me according to Yunshan's customs. Besides, schools are now promoting late marriage and late childbearing. Is it reasonable for me to be in such a hurry to get married so early?"
Cai Yun was very dissatisfied with this and retorted: "The school is the school's business, and your life-long events are the most important. Don't listen to their nonsense, and in the end even you will be ruined. The male college should get married, and the female college student When you get married, you are much later than we were at that time, so why are you not in a hurry?"
Seeing that his daughter was being scolded by his wife, Du Zhicheng quickly smoothed things over and said, "Oh, this is Xiaolan's lifelong event. She knows how to handle it. Don't be too anxious. As long as fate comes, everything will fall into place. Look at Zhang Yongsheng, he does his best on weekdays. Moth, but he found a home for himself early."
Cai Yun smiled and praised Zhang Yongsheng: "A Sheng is a sensible kid, and he is much more reliable than Xiaolan in doing things. I have asked him to come to my house for dinner many times, and he has always been extremely polite."
Zhang Yongsheng said modestly: "Aunt Cai, I'm not being polite, but I don't want to influence Uncle Du. If my relationship with Uncle Du is exposed in school, it will have an impact on his educational reform. Lao Jia, Lao Zhu and the others I’m holding back my bad feelings, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch Uncle Du.”
Du Zhicheng shook his head and said with a smile: "You are worrying too much. It's just a meal. What can they say? They have many more connections in the school than me, so who have the right to criticize others."
Cai Yun nodded and said angrily: "No. 2 Middle School is restless. These damn rats are always gossiping behind my back. I've heard a lot of rumors in the bureau, and I'm giving you Uncle Du a hard time. What do you want me to say? It doesn’t matter if we don’t implement this educational reform, it’s a thankless job, and there are still villains picking peaches, which is so annoying.”
Zhang Yongsheng said confidently: "Aunt Cai, education reform must be carried out, and carried out vigorously. The future of the students depends on Uncle Du. If Uncle Du has any needs, just ask him, we will support him. If you need money, give money, if you need people If someone from the education bureau dares to mess around, I will call my classmates to block the door of his house."
Zhang Jianxiong also supported: "That's right, Lao Du, don't worry, we as parents have our full support. I had dinner with Lao Bai yesterday, and he also said that if the school lacks anything, he will definitely contribute money and efforts. He has a wide network of contacts in the county, and From the county magistrate to the director, there is no one you don’t know, and the villains from the Education Bureau can’t touch you.”
Bai Zhixuan also said: "Yes, my dad said that he will meet the school's requirements as soon as possible. If the school builds a teaching building, renovates the playground, etc., he can do the construction at cost price without making a penny. The Jin Kai family is also very supportive. His parents have always been willing to donate money and efforts to the school.”
Seeing everyone's support, Du Zhicheng said with some emotion: "Thank you, Lao Zhang. Yongsheng, Zhixuan, you two also help me thank other students and parents. I will definitely carry out the educational reform, no matter how difficult it is, I will do it Persistence will not let thousands of students in No. 2 Middle School lose their way forward."
The two families sat together and chatted throughout the afternoon, talking about the past year. Three juniors were accompanying him, busy serving tea and pouring water. Zhang Yongsheng became the core of their conversation. Various things he had done during school were revealed, making him so embarrassed that he wanted to find a way to hide in them.
The dinner was Cai Yunzhangluo's family dinner. Although it was not a delicacy, the home-cooked food was also very delicious. The people at the table were having fun and celebrating the Spring Festival. Du Zhicheng, who rarely drank, was drunk. He and Zhang Jianxiong drank a lot, and the relationship between old friends was very harmonious.
Zhang Yongsheng's family stayed at No. 2 Middle School until very late, and Du Zhicheng's family arrived at the gate. Along the way, I met many teachers from No. 2 Middle School, and they all looked surprised when they saw Zhang Yongsheng’s family. They came to Du Zhicheng's house to pay New Year's greetings, and Du Zhicheng personally delivered them to the door. This was very rare.
