Chapter 329: Electricity Connection at Home
On Monday morning, Gu Jiandong accompanied Shen Shuyu to the school to report. Shen Shuyu said that she could report alone, but Gu Jiandong was worried because his wife was unfamiliar with the place, so he had to accompany her to feel at ease.
Although she only has a high school diploma, the principal still wants to test Shen Shuyu's background. The principal is in his fifties, his surname is Zhang, he has few hairs on his head, wears a pair of black-framed glasses, and smiles. He looks very friendly.
"Comrade Shen, do these two test papers first. When you're done, go to the next classroom and call me."
The school is short of teachers, so Principal Wang has to serve as a teacher part-time.
There are many wives of soldiers in the army, but there are educational requirements for being a teacher. Just based on the educational requirements, 90% of the family members do not meet the requirements.
Shen Shuyu read a lot of books at home. Plus, she had the memories of the original owner, whose academic performance was good to begin with. So these two papers were easy for Shen Shuyu.
She was writing the paper seriously and had no idea how fascinated Gu Jiandong was looking at her.
Shen Shuyu finished the two papers in less than an hour. Principal Wang happened to be off get out of class and came over to mark the papers. He was very satisfied just by looking at the words on the papers.
After he finished grading the papers, Principal Wang was even more satisfied. He smiled and extended his hand, "Teacher Shen, welcome to join our education industry. I'll leave the Chinese language classes for the second and third graders in your hands."
Shen Shuyu stretched out her hand, "I will not let the principal down."
There are a total of six classes in the second and third grades. Principal Wang took Shen Shuyu to introduce them to all six classes. The students all knew that they had a new Chinese teacher and they were all very happy.
Their previous Chinese teacher was Principal Wang, and now they have a new beautiful Chinese teacher who speaks nicely, so of course they are happy.
Shen Shuyu asked Gu Jiandong to go ahead and do his work as she had classes in the afternoon.
"Then when you get out of class, White Radish and I will come pick you up."
"it is good."
They were not at home, and Gu Jiandong was afraid that Bai Luobo would be bored at home alone, so he took it to the military dog training base to let it serve as a sparring partner for the military dogs. Bai Luobo was very happy to play with so many companions.
It didn't want to leave even when Gu Jiandong came to pick it up. It rolled on the ground twice and said, "If you don't go to pick up Shu Yu, I'll go by myself."
Bai Luobo was having so much fun that he had forgotten about picking up Shen Shuyu. When he heard him say this, he immediately stood up, ran to the front, and sprinted towards the school.
He and Bai Luobo arrived just in time. School was over at 5:30. Shen Shuyu came out of the classroom and saw her Gu Jiandong and Bai Luobo at a glance.
Shen Shuyu had taught two classes and had become familiar with the students. After school, the students waved goodbye to her.
"Goodbye, Teacher Shen."
"See you tomorrow, Teacher Shen."
"Teacher Shen, is this your dog?"
“Well, it’s called white radish.”
"Can we touch it?"
"It's okay to touch it gently."
Most of the students who go to school here are children of the military. They have seen dogs more domineering than Bai Luobo. Each of the military dogs in the army is one in a million, and their physical fitness and size are beyond words.
The white radish looks silly and is black in color, so all the students want to play with it.
Although Bailuobo has a good personality, he is actually a little annoyed by these children. It is too wasteful to play with them. Bailuobo kept looking up to signal Gu Jiandong to go home quickly.
After Gu Jiandong picked up Shen Shuyu, he didn't stay in school for long. He let them pet the dog for a while, and then the family of three went back.
As soon as we entered the family compound, a soldier from the communication room ran over and said, "Deputy Commander Gu, your grandma is looking for you."
It was a call from her grandma. Shen Shuyu was afraid that her grandma missed her, so she asked Gu Jiandong to ride his bike faster.
Arriving at the reception room, Shen Shuyu picked up the phone and called out, "Mother."
Old Mrs. Shen on the other end of the phone started to cry. "Hey, my dear, how are you doing in the army? Are you used to it? Have you been wronged? If you have been wronged, don't keep it in your heart. Tell grandma, okay?"
Shen Shuyu felt warm in her heart, "Grandma, I'm doing fine in the army, don't worry about me, you and grandpa should take good care of yourselves at home,
If you feel unwell, don't force yourself. Ask for a day off to rest and see Doctor Xu."
Shen Shuyu didn't say that her grandparents shouldn't go to work. Her grandparents were the kind of people who couldn't sit still and were in good health. If they were asked to stay at home every day without working, they would feel uncomfortable.
"Grandma knows. Your grandfather and I are fine at home. Grandma is just worried that you are not used to being in the army and are not eating well."
"It's all good. Grandma, you and grandpa don't have to worry about me. I found a job in the army. Grandma, I'm a teacher now, teaching second and third grade students."
"Oh my, how come your sweet baby is so awesome? He's even a teacher. Great!"
Old man Shen was listening at the side, and seeing the old woman and Guaibao talking endlessly, he grabbed the phone and said, "Hello, Guaibao, this is your grandfather. Your grandmother and I have received the package you sent.
You just arrived in the army not long ago, how come you sent so many things back? We have everything at home, you don’t need to send anything.”
"Grandpa, what I'm sending is dried seafood. I've written in the letter how to eat it. You can share some with your aunt and the others. If Goudan, Jinbao, and Erya come to visit us, you can also give some to them.
These are delicious and nutritious. Take some out and eat them when you are free. Don’t be reluctant to eat them. I will send them back to you after you finish them.”
The old man took the phone away, and Old Lady Shen took it over. "My dear, the weather is getting colder. Remember to wear thick clothes and don't catch a cold. You forgot to take the hot water bottle at home. I sent the milk to you. Remember to pick it up later..."
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren had endless things to talk about. The money for long-distance calls flowed like water. Shen Chunling kept reminding her parents, "Mom and Dad, it's almost time to hang up the phone."
Otherwise, after the old man or old lady hangs up the phone, they will feel sad about the money they spent on phone calls in a year.
"My dear, that's it for now. If you have anything, write home. Take care of yourself. If you want to go home, come back."
After hanging up the phone, Old Man and Old Lady Shen asked how much it cost. Oh my god, the phone bill was really expensive, and the money was gone like the wind.
It didn't seem like they had been on the phone for long.
Although they felt bad about the phone bills, the old couple were mostly happy. They felt relieved when they heard their eldest granddaughter say that everything was fine in the army.
"Mom and Dad, why is the package so big? What's in it? Is it from Shu Yu?"
Zhang Cuicui was very curious when she saw her parents-in-law coming back with such a big bag of packages.
"It was sent back by Guaibao. He said it was some dried seafood. It's delicious and can be stored for a long time."
When they opened the package, they saw all kinds of dried seafood inside. Old Mrs. Shen and the others didn't know how to eat them. Fortunately, Shen Shuyu had written in detail in the letter how to eat and cook them. That night they made a dish of stir-fried squid.
