Chapter 6
Zhu Yan Shu made good clothes but disappeared her little daughter, was about to go and look for it when she saw the person came back and complained, “Where did she run off to!”
Yang Yuyan had just seen Mr. Su’s handle, her heart was beating fast, excited and happy, she didn’t get angry when she was scolded, she just hid behind Yang Yucan.
Zhu Yan Shu collected the clothes ticket and booked to come pick up the clothes a week later. Aunt Xue personally sent them all the way to the front door, and also helped to call the yellow car, packing promise: “You don’t worry, I’ll let my mouth to do it, and will definitely keep an eye on him so that he can do it fast and well!”
Back home, Zhu Yanshu went to the second floor to play cards in a hurry, Yang Yucan also said that there are still things in the school, followed and left. Zhang Ma went to the vegetable market, presumably either in church or at Huang Da Xian’s place to listen to sermons.
Yang Yuyan was alone at home, she took out the books she bought two days ago and read them, hid them under her bed before Zhang Ma came back, and took out her textbooks to memorize them seriously. When Zhang Ma came back and saw her studying, she said happily, “Yan Yan, study hard! I’ll ask your mom to give you more pocket money!”
Yang Yuyan lifted her head and looked incredibly straight: “Thank you, Mrs. Zhang, but I’m studying for myself!”
Mrs. Zhang: “Then do you still want your pocket money?”
Yang Yuyan: “Yes!”
Mrs. Zhang smiled and scolded her, “You’re so smart!”
At noon, Zhu Yanshu hurriedly came up to eat lunch and then went down to catch the card game, Zhang Ma also hurriedly cleaned up the kitchen to go to the church to listen to the Bible and chat about gossip, Yang Yuyan alone at home, in a short while, Mr. Su came up to give her lessons as promised.
Her class schedule is to follow Mr. Su’s class schedule, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, sometimes Mr. Su does not have to go to school, she must be subjected to his poison all day!
Now that she had clutched one of his handles, she couldn’t help but smile at Mr. Su as soon as she opened the door.
“Mr. Su, you’re here! Come on in!” She opened the door greatly, her enthusiasm was hair-raising.
Su Chunjun knew he was going to be ridiculed by her when he came, and took a step in, not waiting for her to open her mouth before making a preemptive strike.
“I just did you a big favor!” Su Chunjun said.
Yang Yuyan looked puzzled: “What favor?”
Su Chunjun said slowly, “I just visited Dong Zai Feng.” He was true to his word, and when he returned to school, he inquired about which newspaper Mr. Dong Zai Feng was working at, and without saying a word, he went to the door, scaring Dong Zai Feng so much that he ran straight out the back door of the newspaper office.
This hard work can’t be in vain!
His hard work must be remembered!
Yikes, forgot about this matter!
Yang Yuyan got chagrined, pondered for a moment, and reluctantly said, “Alright, I won’t say anything.” Turning to start wondering, “Why do you need a suit?”
The university did have uniforms, winter and summer, even shoes and socks were issued. After Su Chunjun became her teacher, she had only ever seen him wearing a school uniform, and was close to thinking that it grew on him.
Su Chunjun didn’t have the heart to look at this young lady who didn’t know the hunger and suffering of the earth.
“Of course it’s a job search.” He said.
He didn’t receive any money for being Second Miss Yang’s tutor. But likewise, Zhu Yanshu didn’t charge him rent anymore. Here and there, of course he was the one taking more advantage! So he couldn’t help but do his best for Miss Yang, but it was a pity that Miss Yang didn’t work hard enough to learn all his skills!
But being a tutor could only solve his rent problem, and he could only earn other money.
Su Chunjun left his home in the past because of his determination, and he has barely survived until now, so of course he refuses to go home and beg for help at the last minute! So he had to find a job to make ends meet.
It’s not hard to find a job, Su Chunjun thought that with his own skills, he could find a job, but the problem is that he needs at least one suit that can provide him with a decent job.
“A similar suit and a pair of leather shoes.” Su Chunjun sighed, “That’s the bare minimum.”
But this set all done would cost at least thirty dollars.
Of course he didn’t have that amount of money, he didn’t even have ten dollars in his pocket right now.
Yang Yuyan listened with sympathy and murmured, “I don’t have enough money ……”
Su Chunjun heard that she wanted to lend him money, and immediately smiled and shook his head, “How can I ask you to borrow! Besides, your usual pocket money is at most one or two dollars, and it’s definitely been spent long ago!”
Second Miss Yang didn’t have a penchant for saving money, and spent more than a dollar on books when she didn’t move, where would she have money?
Yang Yuyan ran back to the house, came out with an old cracker box, opened it and took out an envelope, and pulled out a ten dollar one.
Handed it over.
“Noe.” She said.
Su Chunjun didn’t take it, he saw that the money was brand new and should have been taken out from the bank specifically.
“This is your New Year’s money, right?”
Yang Yuyan nodded and said, “This is what I took last year. I’ve spent all the previous ones, this one is something I want to put aside for next year and save up twenty dollars to see if I can buy something big.”
Su Chunjun was curious, “What do you want to buy?”
In his view, Second Miss Yang was a rare child who didn’t have much materialistic desires. Doesn’t love to eat snacks because they’re all too earthy; doesn’t love to read pictorials because they’re too earthy; doesn’t love to buy head flowers and hair clips because they’re too earthy …… and so on.
Her only usual pastime is to go and buy some unknown idle books.
And usually Ms. Zhu did not treat her poorly, the family has everything, radio, jukebox, piano, violin. She didn’t have to wait for New Year’s Eve to make her clothes, and she had Mrs. Chang to serve her whatever she wanted to eat.
What was she going to save twenty dollars for?
As a result, Second Miss Yang only shook her head and said in a particularly quick and exasperating manner, “I don’t know yet, I’ll save it first and see what I can do then.”
So it turns out. She just wanted to spend a large sum of money in one breath, just wanted to spend money and feel good afterward.
Su Chunjun didn’t dare to say that he hadn’t been like this before, but he had never known that this could be so infuriating.
He took away the money and put it in his arms, “That’s just it, I’ll keep it for you first. I’ll return it to you later.”
Yang Yuyan blinked her eyes and asked, “This is only ten dollars, and there is still a difference of twenty, or will you find someone else to borrow some more?”
Su Chunjun laughed, “Silly girl, I can rent it! Ten dollars can rent a very good set!”
Yang Yuyan was too shocked by him to speak!
Good, good, good ……
“Who are you calling stupid!” She crossed her arms at the waist!
“I’m stupid.” Su Chunjun was refreshed.
With the money for renting clothes, Su Chunjun started to get busy looking for a job. He mentioned to Zhu Yanshu that he had temporarily reduced the amount of time he spent giving lessons to Yang Yuyan, and that when he found a job and could afford the rent, he might not be able to continue to give the next lessons to Yang Yuyan.
Although Zhu Yanshu was happy that the tenant at home was able to pay the rent, she began to worry about how to find another credible teacher.
“If Mr. Su has someone he trusts, he might as well introduce him. You also know Yan Yan’s temperament, it must be someone with a better temperament who can coax the child.” Zhu Yanshu said.
Su Chunjun lined up the people he knew in his mind, and felt that none of them were suitable, although Second Miss Yang’s temper was not too good, but she was also really simple, anyone could trick her, he was in charge of his duties, and had been helped by Ms. Zhu and Yang Yanyan, so he couldn’t lure wolves into the house for the Yang family, could he? When you think about it, it’s not appropriate for everyone.
Alas, the world is going downhill, and people’s hearts are not ancient. It’s too hard to find a trustworthy person. Other than him, there was no one else who could teach Miss Yang how to be trustworthy.
Although he had long known that this day would come, now that he thought about it, he had actually never thought of stopping teaching Yang Yuyan, as if this master-disciple name must not be changed.
“I still have time nowadays, and I can still continue to teach second young miss. In the future …… I will definitely find a teacher for the second miss who is good in every way.” He said.
Who knows Zhu Yanshu shook his head, sighed, and said, “It doesn’t have to be much better, I just don’t want her to be idle and have something to keep her busy. By the time she turns eighteen next March, she’ll be considered an adult. She doesn’t have an education, and she’s not capable, she only has youth left. I’m going to let her start dating early and get married early, it’s the best outcome for her!”
Su Chunjun choked on this sudden news and his eyes glazed over!
He laughed dryly, “I saw Ms. Zhu’s style of educating her children and thought that you would want both of your daughters to make a career out of it.”
Zhu Yanshu said, “If she fights for herself, of course I will support her! Yu Cicada is definitely going to be a working woman in the future, even if she will get married right after graduation, the boyfriend she found doesn’t have a family that seems to be able to support her in raising a child at home. But Yanyan ……” she sighed, shook her head and said: “Her guts are too small, after meeting her father’s incident she dared not go out to meet people, this half a year to get better. She’s like this, not to mention being a working woman, I’m satisfied as long as she doesn’t starve herself to death later.”
It was only then that Su Chunjun realized that Ms. Zhu had been hiring a tutor for Yang Yuyan to keep her in contact with outsiders, so that she wouldn’t be able to continue to hide at home. Otherwise, if she only saw the three or two people at home day after day, she would be more and more afraid to go out.
Since Yang Yuyan was discharged from the hospital, she has had seven or eight different tutors, and only then has this child’s courage grown a little bit.
This mother’s love is gentle and great.
Su Chunjun couldn’t help but admire it!
He said, “I will continue to teach Second Miss.”
Next, Su Chunjun burst into an even stronger passion for education! Even when he was out looking for work during the day, he would come back at night and give Yang Yuyan an hour’s lesson!
This made Second Miss Yang miserable.
At night the living room was under the watchful eye of Zhu Shuyan and Yang Yucan with Zhang Ma, and she and Ms. Su had lessons in the dining room, so even the usual after-school chit-chat was no longer possible!
By the time the day before the third day of October, Yang Yuyan almost gleefully informs Teacher Su: “Teacher you don’t have to come over tomorrow!”
Teacher Su: “Good, then I’ll leave you some homework later.”
Yang Yuyan was furious and said in a lowered voice, “You’re ungrateful! I’ve lent you money! And you’re still torturing me like this!”
Su Chunjun was stunned and pulled something out of his pocket, still carrying body heat.
“It’s been on me for a few days and I always forget about it, so it just so happens that I’m giving it to you today. Consider this as my IOU. You’ll pay me back when it’s time to pay you back.” He spread out his hand, on his palm was a small string of beads, translucent powder blue beads with pink beads, all the size of a finger belly one, hidden a few ice cracks, a total of eighteen, was strung up by a string of twisted gold wire, under the knot a larger green bead.
Yang Yuyan couldn’t help but say, “It’s so pretty!”
Su Chunjun put it on her wrist, pushed the green bead upwards, and tightened the mouth of the rope. The pink and blue transparent beads reflect the snow-white wrist, which shows the slenderness of the wrist.
Yang Yuyan appreciated half a day, and reacted with an afterthought: “This bracelet is quite expensive, right?”
It doesn’t look like a cheap thing!
Su Chunjun downplayed the situation, “I got it from home, you can just take it as a normal thing.”
Yang Yuyan is a ghost, she has guessed that Mr. Su has a big secret behind him! Although he looked a bit poor, she felt that he was more cunning than all the others.
“If you don’t have any money, why don’t you just pawn it?” She asked.
“The family brought it out, of course I can’t pawn it.” Wouldn’t it be found if you pawned it? Plus it would be a shame to lose it.
“I can’t have this, my mom will kill me if she finds out!” She wanted to take the string off, but Su Chunjun stopped her, “Wear it, it’s really not something I stole.” He said with a wink.
Yang Yuyan squirted a laugh, “I know you didn’t steal it! But ……”
Su Chunjun pressed her hand: “Take it. When you’re a student, you have to listen to Mr., okay?”
As the two were pushing back, Zhang Ma stood outside the dining room curtain and cleared her throat before lifting the curtain and coming in, her gaze sweeping like electricity towards the pair of teachers and students who were not studying properly! She had heard the whispers inside from outside!
Zhang Ma was here to bring water, she placed the tea in front of them before standing next to Teacher Su: “Teacher Su has worked hard, you teach well!”
Teacher Su knocked on the table, and drew the trouble east: “Hear that? Study hard.”
The lowest “student” Yang Yuyan writing, feet under the table kicking, and Mr. Su’s feet to start a war of attack and defense, and finally Mr. Su’s pity to rent good shoes, but lost to Miss Yang.
