Chapter 1296
Zhou Andong and the others turned back and saw a woman with a round face, big eyes, and dimples when she smiled standing behind them.
"Jiang Hui!" Yao Jun pointed at the woman.
The woman kept smiling, her teeth were very neat, and she looked very good: "Yao Dajun!"
Hearing Yao Jun call her name, Zhou Andong finally remembered this person, Jiang Hui: "Old classmate, why are you here?"
"You can come here, why can't I?"
Jiang Hui was still smiling, but her eyes swept over Seeing Jian Qiu and Tang Wenjuan.
"Aren't you going to introduce me? Who are these two beautiful ladies?"
"This is my wife, Seeing Jian Qiu." Zhou Andong pulled Seeing Jian Qiu: "This is Jiang Hui, a primary school classmate, she was even the study committee member!"
Yao Jun also introduced Tang Wenjuan and Jiang Hui: "I say, Committee Member Jiang, it seems you haven't grown at all."
"Do you believe I'll beat you up?" Jiang Hui shook her fist, then laughed: "You are big figures in our Jiangzhou now, bringing beautiful wives back to school today, are you trying to find back the lost youthful time?"
"That mouth of yours." Zhou Andong said with a smile: "You were glib when you were little, and now at this age, your children aren't small anymore, how come you haven't changed at all."
"This is just my personality, I can't change it." Jiang Hui shook her head: "Last time Teacher Cao had a birthday, my daughter was sick, so my husband went. Later I heard you went too, I regretted it so much."
"Wait!" Zhou Andong asked: "You aren't a teacher here too, are you?"
"Otherwise?" Jiang Hui laughed out loud: "You really think I'm like you, not staying at home in the cold weather, running to school to find the youth of ten years ago."
Zhou Andong also laughed and stepped into the classroom. It had been almost twenty years, and except for the traces eroded by time, nothing seemed to have changed inside the classroom.
He walked to a seat in the second to last row and touched the top right corner of the desk with his finger, where a "Zhou" character was crookedly carved.
Seeing Jian Qiu stood beside him and asked softly: "Is this the seat you sat in?"
Zhou Andong nodded: "Time really flies, twenty years in a blink. Thinking back to that time, we were all little radishes, and now we are all adults, parents ourselves. Even those who married early have children already in first grade."
"Right!" Jiang Hui also nodded with great emotion: "Wang Dayou's son just started first grade, I teach him."
"Wang Dayou!"
Zhou Andong muttered. This guy was the multi-millionaire who often gathered with them in his previous life.
"Right!" Jiang Hui said: "Wang Dayou opened a restaurant in town, business is very good."
Zhou Andong came back to his senses and said with a smile: "When I have time, I'll go to his restaurant and mooch a drink."
Jiang Hui's eyes lit up: "Why don't we go to his place for a drink tonight?"
Zhou Andong checked the time and agreed: "Okay!"
"Great." Jiang Hui said excitedly: "I'll notify Kan Xingjiang in a while."
Zhou Andong, Jiang Hui, and Yao Jun, three old classmates, were chatting, while Seeing Jian Qiu and Tang Wenjuan were listening with smiles on the side.
Because it was really too cold in the classroom, the few of them left the classroom and stood in the sunshine, which was much warmer.
"Let's go!" Jiang Hui said: "You haven't been here since the teaching building was built, let's go take a look."
"Ding-a-ling..."
Just as the few of them were walking towards the teaching building, the bell for the end of class rang.
Zhou Andong watched the children running out of the teaching building and said with great emotion.
"When we were little, we didn't have electric bells; the PE teacher would take a small hammer and hit an iron plate. Walk a lap, hit a lap."
"Yeah!" Jiang Hui said with some sadness: "This job was always done by Teacher Feng. It's just that two years ago, Teacher Feng got sick and passed away."
"Hello Teacher Jiang!"
"Teacher Jiang!"
"Hello Teacher Jiang!"
"..."
A little radish greeted Jiang Hui one after another.
"Hello students." Jiang Hui responded.
The few of them entered the teaching building, and Zhou Andong saw the gratitude wall facing the main gate at a glance.
Jiang Hui said: "This gratitude wall was set up by the old principal. He said, know gratitude and encourage action, we must let the children know how to be grateful."
Zhou Andong stood in front of the gratitude wall; the most conspicuous thing was his photo, with a brief introduction below.
Below that was Yin Jisheng's photo and introduction, and then all the news reports about Zhou Andong, as well as his speech drafts.
Seeing Jian Qiu watched, unable to hide the pride on her face. This is the man I chose, who else could be more excellent than him?
"Zhou Andong, Yao Jun!"
A loud shout came from the stairwell; it was Kan Xingjiang.
"You two came to school, why didn't you say hello in advance."
Yao Jun said with a smile: "How about that, if we said hello in advance, would you have to pave the ground with yellow soil and sprinkle water on the street?"
Kan Xingjiang also laughed: "If you want that, I don't mind."
Zhou Andong asked: "Is the old principal there?"
"Yes!" Kan Xingjiang said: "The teachers' offices are all on the fourth floor."
Zhou Andong said: "Let's go, let's go see the old principal, and then go see Teacher Cao."
The few of them followed the stairs to the fourth floor, then walked to the right, and at the end was the principal's office.
Kan Xingjiang knocked on the door, and the old principal's voice came from inside.
"Come in!"
Kan Xingjiang pushed the door and entered: "Old principal, look who's here."
The old principal was reading the newspaper, and when he heard Kan Xingjiang's words, he looked up and saw Zhou Andong and Yao Jun, and a smile appeared on his face.
"You two boys are here, why didn't you tell me in advance."
"Old principal!" As soon as Kan Xingjiang entered, he complained: "Yao Jun said, if we notified you in advance, we would have to pave the ground with yellow soil and sprinkle water on the street, otherwise we wouldn't come."
"Smack!" Yao Jun kicked Kan Xingjiang on the butt: "As a teacher, teaching and solving puzzles, how can you tell lies with your eyes open?"
"When did I tell lies." Kan Xingjiang said dissatisfied: "Just now Brother Dong and sister-in-law, and your wife all heard it."
The old principal said with a smile: "Alright, you fight as soon as you get together, you really are children who will never grow up."
Zhou Andong felt that the room was a bit cold, walked to the window, and touched the radiator; it was just warm. It had heat, but it wasn't hot to the touch.
"Old principal, why isn't the heating burning hot?"
"It's hot enough." The old principal said very contentedly: "Isn't this much warmer than the drafty old school building before?"
Zhou Andong guessed it immediately; there wasn't enough coal to burn.
"Is there not enough coal to burn?"
The old principal waved his hand: "Save what you can, there's no need to waste."
Zhou Andong didn't hesitate and said to Seeing Jian Qiu: "Keep it in mind, after we go back, contact my uncle and have him arrange train cars immediately. Before the new year, three hundred tons of coal must be transported to Jiangzhou."
"Okay!" Seeing Jian Qiu nodded and agreed: "After we go back, I'll contact my uncle."
