15. Chapter 15
Although it was not long, Anna had seen the verbal skills of the nearby aunts and aunts when she helped Aunt Li Mei look at the convenience store. Every afternoon, some elderly aunts who were not working nearby gathered at the convenience store to knit sweaters and hold a symposium. The content of the symposium was very wide, and there were various rumors about the district mayor, forest farm director, and people including Lu Zhongjun.
There are all kinds of gossips. For example, the family bought a newly imported 14-inch Sanyo TV last month; the son of the family wore a toad glass and a bell-bottom pants, and was blocked by his son in the door and cut it with scissors; the old lady Zhang, who was carrying a load, walked around the streets and sold soju wine, introduced a partner to a daughter of a certain family. The man brought chickens and ducks and two kilograms of sugar to the door. Recently, he saw the two of them going to a cinema more than ten kilometers away to watch a movie together... and so on.
Anna just now didn't want to be seen near her home, so she would not be questioned and explained later, so she chose to get off the bus in this place with few people. Unexpectedly, she actually bumped into Guo Yun's mother so by chance.
Guo Yun's mother is quite enthusiastic, but she can definitely rank among the top three of the people Anna knows. Seeing her standing still, she didn't leave, she suspected that her eyes were sweeping between herself and the Lu Zhongjun, and said before the Lu Zhongjun: "Auntie, didn't I go to Ganyuan Village for a home visit yesterday? You know that the road there is quite far. When I came back, I couldn't wait for the tractor, so I stayed at the student for a night. When I came back in the morning, I happened to meet Captain Lu on the way, and he took me back." After that, he stared at Lu Zhongjun.
"Oh, that's it! Thank you Captain Lu for your enthusiasm!" Guo Yun's mother reached her head to the car window and smiled at Lu Zhongjun with a flattering expression.
Lu Zhongjun glanced at Anna, raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded at Guo Yunma, and said nothing, stepped on the accelerator and left.
When the car ran away and disappeared, Guo Yun's mother looked back and whispered: "Meimei, Auntie cares about you, so I remind you. I heard that Captain Lu had a bad style before, but he was not good because he had a backstage. Be careful with him. I'll tell you, where did he do it before..."
"Yeah, I know, I know, you're busy, I'll go to the vegetable market to take a look..."
Anna made excuses, left Guo Yunma and turned to the vegetable market.
There are very few kinds of vegetables that can be bought in the vegetable market. Two pork stalls, one piece of meat is 81 pounds, and a few pieces of pork livers are hanging on the side, one piece of mutton stall, and two piece of meat is 91 pounds. Aside, a finger-sized river fish stall sold for belly-sized, and the rest are cabbage and eggplant peppers pulled out of the ice cellar. Anna took a walk around, and finally took a piece of meat tied with straw and went home. When it was almost time to see Guo Yun’s mother and Aunt Li Mei standing outside the convenience store and talking. Guo Yun’s mother put the basket of vegetables under her feet. So she quickly walked up and called out.
"Oh, Meimei is back, then I'll leave! Let's talk again when you have time!"
Guo Yun's mother picked up the vegetable basket and left.
Aunt Li Mei had already learned from Guo Yunma where Anna was going last night, and she felt relieved. Seeing that she was back, she asked a few times and complained: "You child is too heartbroken. You are not a serious class teacher, but you are a substitute teaching and singing, so why bother with this! I was so worried last night that I wouldn't come back in the morning, so I'm going to Ganyuan Village myself!"
Anna also thought that Aunt Li Mei would be worried last night. However, the communication was really inconvenient now, and she could not convey the news that she had delayed last night and could not come back in time, so she kept apologizing. Aunt Li Mei complained and then passed by, took the meat from Anna, asked the price, took a look, and shook her head: "Oh, you kid is so worried, why are you so careless! At the same price, why don't you buy hind legs?"
"The meat seller said he gave me the best hind leg meat..."
Anna couldn't tell where the pork was, and knew that she was fooled by the meat seller, so she stuck out her tongue.
Aunt Li Mei chuckled and shook her head, "Fry the chili peppers at noon! Don't go shopping for vegetables by yourself in the future, learn a little, so as not to stay like this when you are at your husband's house in the future and attract your parents-in-law to dislike you."
Anna nodded with a smile. Aunt Li Mei took two steps in with her flesh, suddenly remembered and turned her head and said, "Meimei, Guo Yun's mother said just now that she saw you get out of Captain Lu's car in the police station. What's going on?"
Anna quickly explained again.
Aunt Li Mei nodded, "That's it, it's fine. Auntie enters the house first, please help me see the store."
Anna said aloof.
...
The next day was Monday, and Anna went to school early in the morning. Xu Bing's mother was worried and came again with her son. She was waiting for the school gate in a miserable manner when she saw Anna coming, she hurriedly came up.
Anna asked Xu Bing to go to the classroom first, and she and Xu Bing's mother went to find Principal Li.
Principal Li had a headache. Originally, Xu Bing's father came to drop out of school by himself, but she was begging her, but now her mother came to beg her again and hesitated: "Or go and ask the head teacher, Mr. Wang. If she is willing to ask, let him come back. I said, this is really true. I will withdraw by myself and say I want to go. What's the matter?
Xu Bing's mother couldn't help but apologize and said good things. Principal Li waved his hand and let him go out. Anna and Xu Bing's mother went to find Teacher Wang Saiying again. Teacher Wang was a little unhappy, but it couldn't hinder Anna's face, so she finally reluctantly agreed.
As soon as Xu Bing's mother left, Teacher Wang sighed, "I finally walked away and was back. I came back in two days and I was still asking you for mercy. Alas, Li Mei, I heard that you were tutoring Xu Bing alone at noon a while ago? Why are you so concerned about him!"
"Sorry, Teacher Wang, I should have told you early," Anna explained, "I'm just afraid of putting pressure on Xu Bing, so I didn't tell you for the time being. I want to wait until he makes more progress before telling you. That's it, Xu Bing, a student..."
Anna explained Xu Bing's situation.
Teacher Wang was surprised when he heard this, "Is there such a disease? Can't read words?"
"Yes," Anna nodded, "In foreign English-language countries, the rate of children with dyslexia is higher. This rate is lower in our Chinese, not very common, so there are not many people who know it. Xu Bing is in this situation. I happened to have training in this area before and am helping him correct it. This disease also accounts for a large proportion of psychological factors. I hope that Teacher Wang, you can help him more in the future. When he corrects it slowly, his grades will definitely improve in the future."
After Anna finished speaking, she was still surprised to see Teacher Wang and didn't believe it, so she gave the legendary examples of Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci.
"...These two celebrities also suffered from dyslexia when they were young. Their grades were poor at school, but they were proved to be geniuses later. I'm not saying that Xu Bing is just as genius as them, but this student is quite smart. He looked at the warship on TV and could do it by himself when he got home. In the future, there will be a model aircraft competition and let him go, and I promise to get a ranking."
Teacher Wang finally believed it and said, "So that's it! Why didn't you follow me earlier? I thought this student had a bad mind and refused to make progress. So that's it. Be more concerned in the future."
Teacher Wang is actually okay. Anna was very happy to see that she believed her words.
Xu Bing's mother was even more grateful. She came here again that night, bringing milk, two pounds of dried fish and two net bags of fruit, some for Anna, and the rest were given to Teacher Wang.
Anna herself refused to accept things. But considering that giving Teacher Wang something to help her, it was not a bad thing for Xu Bing, as long as Xu Bing didn't know. She told Xu Bing's mother about her address and told her not to tell Xu Bing about the gift. Xu Bing's mother left with great gratitude.
