Teddy lives next door

This Spring Festival, Chen Suiwen's family was extremely free, because their relatives were all in Wuling, so they didn't have to visit relatives, just called to pay New Year's greetings, and they just walked around with Qu Le and his wife.

Xiang Ronghe went to a small class reunion. She also graduated from Normal University at the beginning. Many of her classmates stayed in Star City to work after graduation, and now they are all leaders in the education field.After returning from the party, I chatted with Chen Suiwen: "Son, what kind of job do you plan to find after the next year?"

Chen Suiwen said: "I don't know for the time being, let's find out." After resting for almost a year, my health has recovered, and it's time to go to work.Although the current novel earns a lot of money, he still never thought of writing full-time like Gao Chao. He had to find something to do, so he felt more at ease.

Xiang Ronghe asked: "Have you considered taking the civil service exam?"

Chen Suiwen looked at his mother: "Mom, I want to be a civil servant with my sexual orientation? No matter how strong my ability to resist pressure is, I can't handle it. I don't think about it at all."

Xiang Ronghe thought this was not the case. It might not make sense for government agencies not to get married. She thought about it for a while: "Since you don't take the exam for civil servants, you can also take the exam for a public institution. You can take the exam for a more leisurely job. The family is not short of money. You don’t care about the salary. Write something you like when you have time.” She used to always hope that her son would be successful, but now that her son has been ill and she has gone through divorce again, seeing Chen Xu give birth to a son with cerebral palsy, she just looked away. Well, the most important thing is that people are healthy and safe, all those vanity things are useless.

Chen Suiwen didn't hide the matter of writing novels. After all, we get along day and night. It is impossible for him not to write novels every day. However, he still sticks to his pseudonym and did not expose it. Chen Suixin questioned him for a long time, but he still failed.Chen Suiwen thought for a while: "Let's see if there are any suitable units that can take the exam." It would be nice to be a librarian or something.

Xiang Ronghe added: "Actually, you can find a job that doesn't require you to work from [-] to [-]. My mother has a classmate who opened an after-school tutoring center. The scale is not small. It provides tutoring for students by subject and class time. Yes, you can teach a few classes, mainly on weekends and winter and summer vacations, and you will be charged by point, and your income will not be less than that of a nine-to-five class."

Chen Suiwen found out that this was the main point of his mother's conversation this time, and he was a little moved: "But I am not a normal student, and I don't have a teacher qualification certificate. I am afraid that I will mislead my children."

"It's just like you, don't worry, you can't miss it. Every teacher who is worried about misleading his children will be a good teacher, and my mother came here like this." It is rare for Xiang Ronghe to tell her son these things. She used to hold the teacher of the shelf.

Chen Suiwen couldn't help laughing, it was unexpected to say this from his senior teacher's mother: "Then what can I teach?"

"English, mathematics, English, physics and chemistry students are fine, as long as you prepare the lessons in advance. You used to be a tutor when you were in college. It's almost the same. If you really don't understand, go and sit in and see how other teachers teach. Open The teacher in the tutoring center has a good relationship with Mom, and he will definitely take care of you." Xiang Ronghe believed in her son's level, and his son was her masterpiece back then.

Chen Suiwen nodded: "Okay, I want to try."

Xiang Ronghe said: "That's the deal. I'll invite Teacher Ou to dinner later, and you can go and get to know him. If Xiao Gao wants to go, it depends on his own wishes. Anyway, he is also a high-achieving student of H University."

In the evening, Chen Suiwen was about to close the door for work, but Chen Suixin blocked the door: "Brother, you really don't want to tell me your pen name?"

Chen Suiwen pushed the door shut: "Don't ask me any more, or I'll tell Mom, look at Danmei!"

Chen Suixin pouted: "Don't tell me if you don't say it, I will know sooner or later. I think I must have read your article!"

Chen Suiwen pushed his sister's feet out through the crack of the door: "Don't make trouble, I won't tell you, I'm going to work, so hurry up and watch your TV." Then he closed the door.

The moment the door was closed, Chen Suiwen heard Chen Suixin snort: "I'll ask Brother Gao." He hurriedly called Gao Chao, and wait until the line is busy.

It took Gao Chao a while to pick up: "Wait a minute." There seemed to be a bit noisy over there, and the noise gradually weakened, and he should have walked away, "Okay, I'm still eating, and I'm having dinner with my uncle's family today .”

"Haven't you finished eating yet?" Chen Suiwen looked at the time, and it was already eight o'clock, which is a bit late during the Spring Festival. Usually, the Chinese New Year is dedicated to eating and drinking, and the preparations will be relatively early. This time has not been finished, and the dishes are not cold through?

Gao Chao yawned: "I finished eating, but I was dragged to accompany me for a drink. Your phone number saved me from being in dire straits. I love you so much, okay?"

The corner of Chen Suiwen's mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Then you send me a message earlier, and I'll call you earlier. Why are they criticizing you?"

"Quitting my job without permission, buying a house without discussing it with my family, refusing to go on blind dates...there are too many. Going home for the New Year is too much for me." Gao Chao laughed at himself.

"Poor baby, I can only express my condolences verbally."

Gao Chao said: "I want something practical, and I want sauce and stuffing."

Chen Suiwen laughed: "Then come here by yourself."

"I passed through the phone with a 'swoosh', and then I ate you up." Gao Chao joked, "How is today? How are you doing? Where did you go? What delicious food did you eat?"

Chen Suiwen said: "What's wrong with me at home, I didn't go anywhere, I learned to make a dish of braised mutton, it tastes good, I will cook it for you when you come back."

"Okay, I like to eat mutton in winter, and someone is so enthusiastic after eating. I want to eat hot pot. When I come back, let's go to Haidilao again, and take my mother and sister with me." Gao Chao said.

Across the phone, Chen Suiwen felt that his ears were burning, so he quickly changed the subject: "My mother told me today that an old classmate of hers opened an after-school tutoring center for elementary and middle school students, and she wanted me to work there as a tutor. Tutor, there are only classes on weekends and winter and summer vacations, starting at 100 per hour. Would you like to go?"

Gao Chao said, "Is there only classes on weekends and winter and summer vacations? You can go and see."

Chen Suiwen was a little happy when he heard that he was willing to go, so that they could commute together. The most important thing is that Gao Chao would not have to stay at home all day, and he could get in touch with the society: "Then it's settled, I'll talk to you later. My mother said, we will go see her classmate together when the time comes. When will you come back?"

Gao Chao said, "Well, the sixth day."

"Okay, wait for you to come back."

In fact, Gao Chao didn't wait until the sixth day to come. He came in the evening of the fifth day. He still came with injuries, and his forehead was bruised.Chen Suiwen heard the knock on the door and went to open the door, but he didn't expect it to be Gao Chao. Seeing his appearance, he was startled: "What's wrong?"

Gao Chao smiled: "It's okay, knock on the door frame, just apply some medicine." The smile was obviously forced.

Chen Suiwen said with a sullen face, "Let's talk first."

It was a rare time for Xiang Ronghe to cook. Chen Suixin was helping to serve the dishes and was about to have dinner. Hearing the sound, they both came over. The mother and daughter said in unison: "Xiao Gao (Brother Gao), are you back?" Surprised.

But they all saw Gao Chao's injury soon, and said to Ronghe, "Xiao Gao, what's the matter with your injury?"

Chen Suixin exclaimed, "Brother Gao, did you fight?"

Gao Chao said with a smile: "Auntie, Xinxin, my relatives have finished their journey, so I came here today, and I want to give you a surprise. I'm so happy. I hit my head when I got in the car. It's okay, don't worry." He stretched out his hand Touching the bruise on his forehead, he gasped suddenly.

Chen Suiwen looked distressed, but did not expose him, and said: "Then let's eat first, put down the things, and wash your hands."

Xiang Ronghe's expression relaxed: "It's good that you're fine, come and eat, it's time for dinner."

Gao Chao hurriedly put away his things and washed his hands.The family of four sat around the table to eat again. The dishes were a bit simple. They only made a steamed sea bass, a tomato and egg, a vegetarian fried chrysanthemum, and a winter melon ribs soup. Bring the enema tablet.

Xiang Ronghe said: "I don't know that Xiao Gao will come back, I haven't prepared much food."

"It's okay, enough to eat." Gao Chao said.

The meal was a bit boring. Although Gao Chao's lies were a bit realistic, Chen Suiwen didn't have much joy on his face. Neither Xiang Ronghe nor Chen Suixin were stupid, so they naturally saw some clues, so the chatter The topic is a little cautious.

After dinner, Gao Chao rushed to wash the dishes, while Chen Suiwen helped to pick up the dishes, without saying a word.Gao Chao lowered his voice and said, "It's really okay. It's not about our business. I had a family meeting and quarreled with my brother. My dad was too excited to persuade him to fight, and his teacup accidentally knocked him down."

These words were obviously full of loopholes, Chen Suiwen gritted his teeth: "Really? Your brothers have always been on good terms, why do you still quarrel? Your father sided with each other?"

Gao Chao licked his lips: "It's mainly about my parents and money. My dad really accidentally hurt me, and he was scared, so I was beaten by him and left. Let them blame themselves."

Chen Suiwen washed his hands: "I'll go and find out if there is any medicine, you can wash it."

When Gao Chao came out after washing the dishes, the Chen Suiwen brothers and sisters were no longer at home, so he asked Xiang Ronghe, only to say that they had just gone out.Gao Chao had no choice but to sit down and watch TV with Xiang Ronghe, Xiang Ronghe turned down the volume of the TV: "Xiao Gao, have you had a fight with your family?"

Gao Chao didn't dare to lie, so he had to tell the truth.Xiang Ronghe said: "If you just leave like this, the family members will be worried, so please call back to report that you are safe."

Gao Chao said: "I sent a message to my sister. It's good that I left. They will feel guilty and feel more owed to me, so that there will be less resistance to my coming out in the future."

Xiang Ronghe looked at him and shook his head lightly: "You child, why bother."

Gao Chao lowered his head and said: "You guys are so kind to me. Our family knows almost nothing about Suiwen. I feel very sorry for him. I don't know when it is better to come out, but it will definitely come out. Auntie, don't worry, I won't wrong Suiwen."

Xiang Ronghe nodded: "I know. At that time, you came to Shanghai to take care of him, so I understood. Other people's husband and wife are birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly separately. You are a good boy. When Suiwen is the most difficult time I even came here to accompany and take care of you, so thank you, auntie. Don’t be too anxious with the family, every parent loves their children, although in different ways, as long as they love you, they will eventually accept it.”

Gao Chao looked up at Xiang Ronghe and nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Auntie, for your understanding."

"Auntie understands, everyone understands!" Xiang Ronghe smiled slightly and nodded vigorously.

Chen Suiwen came back, and he went to buy medicine.Although something unexpected happened, it was nothing serious, Chen Suiwen's heart finally returned to his stomach.

Two days later, the spring break was over. On the first day of work, Xiang Ronghe took Chen Suiwen and Gao Chao to transfer the ownership of the house.After the transfer, I went to see the new house. The house is also in Hexi, not far from the river. It is a community just completed last year. It is full of duplex buildings, only three stories high. Considering the hot and humid spring in the south, I didn’t buy a ground floor with a yard. , I bought the third floor with a top-floor platform. The roof can be transformed into a roof garden. Chen Suiwen and Gao Chao are very satisfied. They have many ideas about this roof garden. It is simply a mansion.

Chen Suiwen said excitedly: "Mom, how do you know to buy a house here?"

Xiang Ronghe said: "A friend told me last year, and I bought two sets here."

Chen Suiwen was very surprised: "Where is the other set? Is it also in this community? Could it be the one downstairs?"

Xiang Ronghe said: "The one downstairs was sold long ago, but I haven't bought it. It's not far from here, over there. It's on the second floor, and there's also an open-air balcony."

Chen Suixin cheered: "Ouye, that's great. I like the open-air balcony. I'm quite satisfied with the style of the second floor!"

Xiang Ronghe said: "I plan to renovate this year. If Xinxin comes here to go to university next year, we can move here. You two have a look, how you want to decorate, we will decorate together, and I will pay for it."

Gao Chao shook his head hastily: "No, let's decorate it ourselves, so we don't need Auntie to worry about it."

Chen Suiwen also said: "Yes, Mom, don't be too busy, we have finished the decoration ourselves, and you really don't need to pay for this." At the beginning, he said that he didn't want his mother to buy a house, but now because Gao Chao bought a house for himself, he accepted it. This set, this decoration can't let my mother out anyway.

"That's fine, just pretend it yourself. I don't care." Xiang Ronghe didn't insist.

On the ninth day of the ninth day, Xiang Ronghe took the three children to see Mr. Ou, and decided that Chen Suiwen and Gao Chao would go to class after school started, from six to eight classes a week, and classes on weekends. The fee was based on the class hour. At the beginning, it was 100 yuan. Money for each class, according to performance promotion treatment.Chen Suiwen took the Chinese class, and Gao Chao took the physics class.Although the income is not high, it is a kind of life adjustment for them, and Chen Suiwen thinks it is quite good.

Chen Suiwen found that Mr. Ou was very attentive, and couldn't help but feel a little weird about his attitude towards their work, his mother, and even Xinxin.On the way back, Chen Suixin said: "Mom, is Teacher Ou the uncle who often calls you?"

Chen Suiwen looked at his sister, what does she know? "Xinxin, what's going on?"

Xiang Ronghe smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, it's just an old classmate. I haven't been in touch for many years, and I only got in touch last year."

I only got in touch last year and still make frequent calls, what is it not to chase after her? "Mom, Teacher Ou is not married?"

"It's over, the child is as old as you. But his wife died of leukemia the year before last." Xiang Ronghe said.

Isn't this a coincidence, if Mr. Ou really chases after his mother, it would be good. Mr. Ou seems to be a very personable person, and his mother will be with him, but it all depends on her own wishes, and I have to talk to my sister later. a tone to go.
