Three or Two Things about Rebirth

The next day at work, Qiu Luming replied to Sister Meng.

Sister Meng was very happy and called her sister immediately. She was so excited that she felt that if the mother and daughter of the Qiu family were willing to give her niece a few tutoring lessons, her niece would definitely be able to get into university.

Qiu Luming waited for her to hang up the phone, and then hurriedly said, "Sister Meng, look, my mother has been retired for several years, and I am not a professional teacher. We are just doing our best..."

"I understand, the most crucial thing is the child's personal effort! It's mainly because of my sister and her husband. They always want to create more conditions for their child. The child couldn't get into the No. 1 Middle School in the city, and several good teachers in our county have left. She was so anxious that she kept asking me to do it. I really couldn't stand it anymore! Qiu, Sister Meng is so sorry for making things so difficult for you." Sister Meng looked sincere, which was completely different from her usual hypocritical smile that she thought was hidden but was actually visible to everyone.

The shortcomings of a small county town are mainly reflected in interpersonal relationships. In this vast and sparsely populated black land, people wish that all the people in the county could have some relatives through marriage, and some are even of different generations.

This leads to the fact that people love to use connections to get things done, no matter how small. People are used to using connections, which is efficient and gives them face. Everyone hates using backdoors, but when it comes to benefiting themselves, they are more active than anyone else.

When Qiu Luming applied for a passport, it was because of Qiu Jiashu's face that he didn't even ask anyone for help. The female police officer from the Foreign Affairs Department happily went to Yi City and expedited the passport application.

Now, Sister Meng, who sat across from her in the office, came to her for help, and she absolutely could not refuse. Qiu Luming now understood that it was extremely unwise to offend others directly. Even if Xiao Wang, with whom she had fought a battle, came to her for help with a smile, she could not just do it for the sake of momentary pleasure and hurt others' face. She had to agree first no matter what, and agree politely and with a little reluctance. Even if the director spoke to her, she could not swear and take on too much, and she had to leave herself room to turn around.

In this small county town, people are everywhere, so anyone with a little bit of sense would not rush around recklessly.

He Manshu spent a week carefully going through the high school Chinese textbook from the beginning and taking notes for preparation. Qiu Luming also summarized the Russian grammar of the twelve middle school textbooks and also learned to take notes for preparation. ——The mother and daughter were nervous, but they were both unwilling to disappoint others' expectations and trust.

At nine o'clock on Saturday afternoon, Sister Meng brought people to the Qiu family on time. There was not one person, but three, all little girls.

She put down the two cartons of gifts and complimented him with a smile on her face, "Teacher He, I am really sorry to trouble you! Speaking of which, most of the people in our county are your students. Although you have never taught me in person, I always greet you every time I see you at school! Uh, that, most of the people in our county have been treated by Doctor Qiu, so you are the most respected people in our county!"

Jiayang rarely speaks like this, calling him "you" all the time. Qiu Luming got goose bumps when he heard it.

But these exaggerated words really touched He Manshu's heart. She was the kind of person who didn't care much about money, but loved to be praised as "burning out tears only after the candle is burned out". Teacher He, who valued honor and reputation above all else, refused to accept Sister Meng's gift no matter what. She said seriously, "I'm not confused in my mind. It's my duty to teach the children!"

"No, no! You've already retired, so this isn't just our duty, it's a favor from heaven! We know this!" Sister Meng bent down slightly and grabbed He Manshu's hand. "We really had no other choice but to come to your house. If you don't accept my gifts, how can I stay in the county?"

After saying that, she pushed the three children towards He Manshu and said, "Teacher He, uh, one sheep needs to be raised, and two sheep need to be released. I'm really sorry to add one more at the last minute. Uh, you guys introduce yourselves. I have something else to do!" After saying that, she trotted out of the Qiu family. When Qiu Luming chased her out, she had already got into a Santana and drove away.

Qiu Luming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Sister Meng, who was always very smooth and polite, was actually sweating from nervousness and looked at a loss. She was already in her forties, was she still afraid of the teacher?

When I returned to the room, I saw the three girls were nervously pushing each other, "You speak first!"

"You speak first!"

"Let me speak first!" Qiu Luming looked over and saw, wow! Isn't this Zheng Lingling?

"Hello, Teacher He! My name is Zheng Lingling, and I'm Zheng Wei's second sister. I heard from Wu Xiaonan that you can provide tutoring at your house, so I came to see you! Hehehe!"

"You are Xiaowei's sister, so why do you need to follow others to cut in line? Let your brother bring you here!" He Manshu smiled.

"My family doesn't know!" Zheng Lingling said with a smile.

With her taking the lead, the other two girls also became bolder. "Teacher He, Teacher Qiu, my name is Mu Jing, and I'm Meng Xiangqin's niece. I'm sorry to trouble you!" The little girl even bowed and saluted.

The last little girl said, "Hello, Teacher He, hello, Teacher Qiu, my name is Wu Xiaonan, and Meng Xiangqin is my second aunt, please take care of me!" She also bowed.

He Manshu smiled and clapped her hands, "Okay, since you're here, let's listen to the class together! As long as you love to learn, the teacher will like you!"

In the morning, there was a two-hour Chinese class. Qiu Luming also attended the class for two hours. It was her first time to attend her mother's class.

She found that her mother's demeanor and voice during the lectures were like a different person, and she seemed to enjoy the process and state of imparting knowledge. When the get out of class was about to end, she knew that the students were afraid of Mr. Zhou's essays and the dreaded "recite the entire text" after class, so she specially adjusted the atmosphere for the interaction, "A true warrior..."

"Dare to face the bleak life and dare to look squarely at the blood!" the three girls answered immediately.

"I seem to be a cow..."

"We eat grass and squeeze out milk!" The girls laughed and were no longer so reserved. Zheng Lingling even giggled out loud.

"Don't break out in silence..."

"Just die in silence!"

"'There are two trees in front of my house...'

"One is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree."

"Very good!" He Manshu looked at her daughter, "My classmate, I think you seem to have something to say."

The humorous tone made the three girls laugh again.

Qiu Luming was just thinking about the book "Letters from Two Places" she had read, and she was a little distracted. When her mother asked her about it, she said, "Mr. Zhou also said that there are two people living in my heart, one is you, and the other is still you. When I send you letters, I always like to send them to the post office, not to put them in the green iron cylinder on the street, because I always suspect that it will be slower there."

"Wow!" the three girls exclaimed, "So romantic!"

Yes, how many students know that the warrior with erect hair and sharp words also has a warm side.
