After Zhou Rui returned to Dongxiang Village, Sheng Guoer handed a stool to Zhou Rui, then sat down and asked, "How did things go?"
Mrs. Shen brought Zhou Rui a cup of hot water and said, "My child, it's cold. Drink more hot water to warm yourself up."
Zhou Rui said: "Thank you, Auntie." Then she took a sip of hot water to moisten her throat and said: "Sister Guo'er, Mr. Li has agreed to come to Dongxiang Village for development, and he also asked me to come and tell you. We will also send people over to set up front positions.”
Sheng Guoer nodded and said, "Well, the rest is the land in Majia Gangzi. As long as Lin Mingyuan helps us, it will be easy."
Zhou Rui nodded and said, "Isn't Sister Guoer familiar with him?"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "Then there must be a relationship of interest. Let's not talk about it for now..."
Sheng Guoer asked tentatively: "What does Mr. Xu mean?"
When Sheng Guoer asked about Mr. Xu Weihan, Zhou Rui seemed to suddenly remember something. She said, "Oh," and then took out a letter and said, "This is what Mr. Xu gave you. He said that as long as you read it, We’ll find out later.”
Sheng Guoer sighed and said, "Call Mr. Meng and Sheng Shi."
Zhou Rui smiled and said to herself that Sister Guoer was good at everything, but her writing skills were still a bit hard to describe.
Zhou Rui got up and went to Meng Xingzhou's residence. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Meng Xingzhou returned to Dongxiang Village to continue teaching, and Sheng Shi also went to study on time.
While the two were studying knowledge, suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Who could it be?" Meng Xingzhou told everyone in the village that no one was allowed to disturb him during class.
So when Meng Xingzhou opened the door and saw Zhou Rui, he said slightly unhappily: "I'm giving a lecture, what's the matter?"
Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Sir, Sister Guo'er asked you and Sheng Shi to interpret Mr. Xu's letter!"
After Meng Xingzhou heard this, he turned around and shouted: "Sheng Shi, tell the students to study on their own, and you come home with me!"
Sheng Shi did what he was told and then ran out, leaving the confused students behind.
Sheng Shi and Meng Xingzhou followed Zhou Rui back through the remaining snow. Sheng Shi asked, "Miss Zhou, did Mr. Xu really reply to our letter?"
Zhou Rui said somewhat unhappily: "Why are you so polite to me? I already told you to just call me Rui'er!"
Sheng Shi scratched his head and said with a naive smile: "I'm a little embarrassed to say it!"
Zhou Rui snorted and said, "Then ask Sister Guo'er yourself!" After saying that, Zhou Rui glared at Sheng Shi and walked to the front first.
Sheng Shi was stunned, Meng Xingzhou smiled, and Sheng Shi said in confusion: "Sir, why are you laughing?"
Meng Xingzhou patted Sheng Shi on the head and said, "You will know when you grow up."
Sheng Shi laughed dryly and said, "Do you have to grow up to know this?"
Meng Xingzhou said: "Let's go!"
After arriving at Sheng Guoer's house, Sheng Guoer handed Mr. Xu's letter to Meng Xingzhou and Sheng Shi. Sheng Shi took the letter, looked at it first, and then handed it to Meng Xingzhou with a puzzled look on his face: "Sir, you After taking a look, I feel a little confused."
Meng Xingzhou took the letter and looked at it carefully, and saw that it read: "When you encounter rocks, you thrive, but when you encounter trees, you need to be careful!"
Meng Xingzhou thought about it carefully and said: "Mr. Xu is mysterious and unpredictable. Wood is one of the five elements. It has the meaning of the East, the surname, and the meaning of silk and bamboo. If we want to truly understand what Mr. Xu means, we have to You won’t know until you encounter something.”
Sheng Shi said: "Sir, I didn't think so much, but does it mean that you need to be careful when you meet people with the surname Mu?"
Meng Xingzhou pondered: "It's possible, and it's very likely, so, Guo'er, you'd better go see Mr. Xu in person."
After listening to Meng Xingzhou and Sheng Shi's interpretation, Sheng Guoer suddenly understood.
Huh, in modern society, this trick has long been understood by those magicians. He just wants to use this kind of cloud and mist method to make himself go to him personally and ask him to clarify his doubts!
After figuring this out, Sheng Guoer thought to herself: "How can I be manipulated by you?"
So Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "I have a trick to make Mr. Xu come to me on his own!"
Meng Xingzhou said somewhat strangely: "What ability do you have to make Mr. Xu condescend to come here?"
Sheng Guoer said: "Of course, if his criticism is not fulfilled, I will give him a counter-criticism, and he will naturally come to me!"
Meng Xingzhou smiled and said: "I understand, I will help you write it!"
Sheng Guoer was very pleased. This Meng Xingzhou was like a roundworm in her stomach, and he was so good at cooperating with her.
Sheng Guoer said: "Then please ask Mr. Meng to write!"
Meng Xingzhou happily took the pen and paper and wrote: "When you encounter wood, you need to thrive, but when you encounter rocks, you need to be careful." Then Meng Xingzhou wrote another sentence: "This is the truth, and it is not true if you test it!"
Meng Xingzhou smiled and said, "As long as you give this to him, Mr. Xu will also be puzzled!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Mr. Xu will be surprised by such a unique reply!"
Meng Xingzhou felt that Sheng Guoer was really weird, and could think of such a way to treat Mr. Xu, who had always been respected, so he said, "Okay, I'll send someone there right now!"
Sheng Shi went to find Gouzi, who put the letter away and left.
Zhou Rui said wisely: "Sister Guo'er, Qiaolian in the workshop went to buy some ingredients for research and development, I'm going to help her!"
Sheng Guoer nodded, and Sheng Shi also said: "Sir, let's go back to school!"
Zhou Rui sighed, pulled Sheng Shi over and said, "Follow me!"
After the two of them went out, Sheng Shi said, "Why did you pull me out? Why didn't you let me go back with Mr. Meng? The students are still waiting for class!"
Zhou Rui held her forehead and said: "Shengshi, do you not understand the relationship between men and women at all? Or are you pretending to be stupid on purpose?"
Sheng Shi suddenly understood and smiled: "Yes, yes, sister and Mr. Meng will definitely have something to say when they meet! But sir, you can't delay your lecture!"
Zhou Rui said: "Didn't Sir tell them to read the books themselves? Sir is also a human being!"
Sheng Shi said, "However, I don't agree with your husband's approach. As a teacher, you should take the lead in setting an example. Students should not skip school, and teachers should not be tired!"
Zhou Rui held her forehead and said, "I've finally convinced you!"
I happened to meet Xiao Tao who was looking for Ma Chunhua to play.
"Xiao Tao, why didn't you go to Xifeng Village?!" Sheng Shi said in a brotherly manner, "Why are you just having fun and not learning medical skills?"
Xiao Tao said: "Because my senior brother is here. Master sent him here, so I went to pick him up. I also went to Sister Chunhua's place for a quick meal to give my senior brother a refreshment!"
"Ghost girl, you just ran away to play secretly, and you're still arguing with me that I won't hit you!" Sheng Shi rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit you, but Zhou Rui stopped him and said, "Xiao Tao, why don't you hit me?" Xiao, what are you doing!"
Xiao Tao hid behind Zhou Rui in an odd way. Sheng Shi said angrily, "This little girl is always lazy!"
Xiao Tao poked her head out from behind Zhou Rui and said, "I don't. I will study medicine in our village from now on! My master is coming soon!"
Sheng Shi said angrily: "You're still lying!"
Zhou Rui hurriedly explained: "Xiao Tao is right, Mr. Li is indeed coming. I went to invite him today, and he also said that he would send someone to stand in front of us!"
Sheng Shi said: "Come out, you said your senior brother is here, where is he!"
After saying this, Sheng Shi took advantage of Zhou Rui's inattention and pulled Xiao Tao from behind Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui said anxiously: "What are you doing!"
Just when Sheng Shi was about to teach Xiao Tao a lesson, a hand suddenly blocked Sheng Shi's slap!
Sheng Shi was stunned, turned around, and saw a stern-looking young man looking at him with a frown on his face. The young man said, "Who are you? You dare to hit Xiao Tao!"
Xiao Tao hurriedly said to the young man: "Senior brother, don't get me wrong, he is my brother Sheng Shi!"
Sheng Shi asked: "Is he your senior brother?"
Then Sheng Shi put down his hand, and Lin Muyan also let go of Sheng Shi. Sheng Shi cupped his hands and said, "I'm Sheng Shi. I've heard about Mr. Lin's name for a long time, and now I've met Da Wei for the rest of my life!"
Lin Muyan didn't expect Sheng Shi to speak so politely, so he also held his hand and said, "I often hear Xiao Tao mention your Excellency."
Sheng Shi said: "I just heard from Xiaotao that you are moving to Dongxiang Village for development. It's just right. Come with me to meet Mr. Meng!"
Lin Muyan asked: "Are you talking about Meng Xingzhou from Xifeng Village?"
Sheng Shi nodded. Lin Muyan didn't expect that even Mr. Meng from Xifeng Village would come to Dongxiang Village. Sheng Guoer is really amazing!
Over there, Meng Xingzhou said to Sheng Guoer: "My father has a bad temper, so don't worry about it. By the way, my mother asked you to come to my house, but you didn't go, so she was impatient. If you don’t come back, the old lady will choose someone else to be your daughter-in-law.”
Sheng Guoer raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, if you have the ability, go and choose!"
Meng Xingzhou laughed and said: "How dare I dare to do such a thing!"
But at this moment, Sheng Shi suddenly left and returned, bringing Lin Muyan with him.
"Sir, this is Lin Muyan, Mr. Li's disciple. I'm here to introduce you!" Sheng Shi said with a smile.
Meng Xingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Master Lin, I have admired you for a long time!"
Lin Muyan also returned the favor.
Sheng Shi said seriously: "Sir, it's time for us to go back. The students are all impatient!"
Hearing this, Meng Xingzhou felt guilty and said, "Okay, I'll go back right now!"
After finishing speaking, Meng Xingzhou and Sheng Shi returned to the private school.
When he arrived at the private school, Meng Xingzhou took the lead and said: "Dear students, my husband made a mistake and delayed everyone's studies for his own selfish reasons. I would like to apologize to everyone!"
After finishing speaking, Meng Xingzhou bowed deeply to the students.
The students hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, saying in unison: "Sir, occasionally you have personal matters, and students dare not blame him!"
Meng Xingzhou said: "As a teacher, you should be the first to set an example. I should not be emotional. If it is not a major matter, I should give up my seat and give lectures. Therefore, I punish myself as a teacher by standing up and giving lectures to set an example!"
After finishing speaking, Meng Xingzhou asked someone to remove the ancient sofa chair Sheng Guoer designed for him where he usually sat when giving lectures, and instead gave lectures standing up.
This scene made Lin Muyan extremely emotional. Logically speaking, Meng Xingzhou was of a superior status, higher than Dr. Li, and he should not have lectured to these untouchables. His being able to come here to lecture was already a great favor to Dongxiang Village.
However, this person is not arrogant or impetuous, nor does he bully the weak. He is also modest and prudent, has a rigorous style, and can correct his mistakes when he recognizes them. He is really not a simple person.
Human beings are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless. Even teachers are ordinary people, and it is normal to have seven emotions and six desires. However, as a teacher, you should set an example by setting an example for others. You should not follow the vulgarity or be lax, and you must be strict with yourself and abide by your duties!
