Chapter 23 Home visit, the beginning of the fall (1)
In an old building, Liu Chaoguo had not walked down such dim stairs for a long time.
Climbing up to the sixth floor, he held on to the wall and panted.
Living in such a dilapidated community with almost no neighbors, I really didn’t expect that Bai Qi’s family situation was so bad?
Could it be...that she applies to drop out of school every month to save tuition?
He climbed up to the fourth floor with a thought, and found that the surrounding area was quiet and unusually deserted. He held the piece of paper with the address in his hand, checked the house number, and knocked lightly on the door.
An old voice came from inside: "Who is it?" There was a slow step and the door opened with a creak.
Liu Chaoguo saw the emaciated Ning Hui and said kindly, "Are you Bai Qi's grandmother?"
Ning Hui nodded in surprise: "I am! Are you?"
"I am Liu Chaoguo, Bai Qi's class teacher. I came here for a home visit this afternoon. I want to talk to you about Bai Qi's situation at school."
"It turns out it's Teacher Liu!" Ning Hui heard this and hurriedly greeted him into the room: "Please come in quickly! The room is a bit messy and I haven't had time to clean it up! The same goes for Xiaobai. If you want to come over, she won't come in advance.
Tell me."
Liu Chaoguo said: "It doesn't matter, I came unexpectedly."
After entering the house, the small living room was not large in size and had all the furnishings. Ning Hui invited Liu Chaoguo to sit on the sofa and made tea herself: "There is no good tea at home. This is Xiaobai's friend from
Teacher Liu, don’t dislike the tea brought from your hometown.”
"Where is it!" Liu Chaoguo took it humbly, and a faint scent of tea overflowed from the cup, distracting him.
Looking down, the green tea leaves stand upright in the boiling water. The edges of the tea leaves are slightly red, and the reflected tea soup is as beautiful as the sunset falling into the lawn.
Liu Chaoguo was shocked! Could this be the morning green and red clouds?
Liu Chaoguo's father-in-law was a seasoned tea drinker, and he always loved to collect and taste teas from various places and seasons. One time, his father-in-law accidentally saved a wealthy businessman. The man knew his father-in-law's preferences and specially sent him a small packet of Chaolu Hongxia, saying that this was
There were only three taels of treasures obtained from a certain auction, and he took pictures of them all! The three of them drank together, and his father-in-law was full of praises. Even he, who didn’t understand tea, felt that he was still satisfied!
I wanted to buy some tea as a tribute, but I inquired about the price privately: one million and one tael! Such a price is still unavailable!
He clicked his tongue and gave up the idea.
And now, Bai Qijia actually has this kind of tea?
Liu Chaoguo said doubtfully: "This tea is pretty good-looking."
Ning Hui smiled honestly and said: "It's quite pretty, and it also has a pretty nice name, what's it called... what's the morning, what's the red glow... Hey, it's not a precious tea, but it's also the wish of Xiaobai's friend.
Don’t take it for granted!”
Dislike tea worth one million and one tael?
Liu Chaoguo took a sip of tea mechanically and felt that the taste was much sweeter than the last time he drank it. Perhaps the taste was so good that he hardly felt hot and drank a whole cup quickly.
Ning Hui saw this: "Teacher Liu must be thirsty after climbing the stairs for so long!" After saying that, she went to get the hot water and took out a large bag from the drawer. "If you like this tea, take some back with you, Teacher Liu."
Bar?"
Teacher Liu looked at the extremely expensive tea leaves wrapped in paper so casually.
What was he thinking before? Bai Qi's family is poor?
I really want to wake myself up...
"No... no need." After finally finding his voice, Liu Chaoguo felt that his eyes were about to pop out.
If this big bag were real tea... it would cost five to six million, right?
Ning Hui just thought Liu Chaoguo was being polite and pushed him over enthusiastically: "It's rare for Mr. Liu to come to our house. It's just a little tea, so take it! My friend Xiaobai brings two or three pounds here every year, and I don't like drinking tea, so let's take it."
It’s also moldy!”
Two or three pounds??
Let it grow mold???
Liu Chaoguo felt that his world view was about to collapse. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He shook his head firmly and said, "No, I really can't do it! I am a people's teacher. It is my duty to visit homes. I cannot accept gifts from parents." He said quickly.
Change the topic to Bai Qi to avoid crying if you continue listening.
When Ning Hui heard Bai Qi's name, she sat upright unconsciously: "Teacher Liu, what's wrong with my little Bai... is she not performing well in school, and the school... the school wants to expel her?"
Liu Chaoguo shook his head, not knowing how to speak.
After all, he has never gotten to know Bai Qi in the past two years! When Principal Zhou placed this student in his class, he only said that he was a good prospect and asked him to pay more attention to him. There are many students in Xingchen No. 1 Middle School who use the back door.
, but this is the first time that Principal Zhou can speak. He is a teacher who educates people, so he naturally has to cultivate the good seedlings that Principal Zhou calls good.
It's a pity that Bai Qi didn't come to school when she was a freshman in high school. In her second year of high school, she skipped classes from time to time. She just didn't want to see anyone. When she got back her report card, she was still penniless, which was far from her grades when she entered the school. Not only that, her behavior became more and more playful, which was a big problem.
He looks like he won't give up even if he drops out of school.
However, such an ancestor who was about to develop into a demon king respected every teacher extremely! Every time Liu Chaoguo took her to the office to talk, the seriousness on Bai Qi's face was definitely not fake.
When school started this year, he relied on this to make clear arrangements for Bai Qi. Who knew that it was easy to make an agreement to go to class every day, but she suddenly had to go filming again?
Liu Chaoguo came back this time just to find out what was the reason that made Bai Qi so tired of studying? So he first gave a reassurance: "Don't worry, the school has no intention of expelling Bai Qi."
Ning Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, that's good! This child... this child..."
Liu Chaoguo said after careful consideration: "I came to visit your home today because I want to understand a situation."
"You said it!"
"I have seen Bai Qi's high school entrance examination results that year, and I want to ask... why did she miss the last day of the exam?"
Ning Hui's face turned pale, and her hands started to tremble instantly.
Liu Chaoguo asked hurriedly: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Ning Hui reluctantly shook her head: "No...I..." She didn't know how to speak.
After thinking about it carefully, Bai Qi didn't seem to have said that he couldn't tell anyone else about this matter. After thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke, his voice a little older: "She will miss the last day of the exam... Sigh... That's
Because, the night before, someone pushed her off the rooftop!"
"What?" Liu Chaoguo almost stood up in shock.
Ning Hui let out a long sigh, afraid that she might accidentally tell Wan Wan, so she didn't even call Wan Wan by her name, and always used 'she' instead: "She used to have very good grades, a lively temperament, and was the teacher's most beloved top student.
She was born. I... I look forward to seeing her well... No one thought that something like this would happen. She was pushed from the rooftop. Fortunately, a big tree buffered her for a while, but she was still seriously injured. That summer vacation, I always
I took her everywhere to seek medical treatment, and then, with great difficulty..."
