Chapter 246 Ran Qiuye's home visit and the end of the epidemic
Outside the courtyard gate.

The girl looked up at the house number on the gate and found that it was No. 95, Nanluoguxiang, the house she was looking for.

A smile appeared on his face subconsciously.

She carried her bicycle, walked up the steps, and then entered the gate.

forecourt.

Yan Bugui was sorting out some sundries at the door of his house.

There have been two heavy snowfalls in this period of time, and the frame at the door is about to collapse. If it is not cleaned up, it will be troublesome if it collapses in the future.

"Teacher Yan, so you live here!"

Seeing Yan Bugui wearing glasses and carefully packing his things, the girl said with surprise.

"Hey, Teacher Ran, what are you doing?"

When Yan Bugui heard the familiar voice, he quickly looked up and found that it was his colleague from Hongxing Primary School, Teacher Ran Qiuye.

He greeted her and then asked curiously.

Today is Sunday, and I didn’t expect to meet Teacher Ran in the courtyard. I haven’t heard that she has any relatives living in this courtyard!

Could he be a relative of Wang Mengde from the Intermediate Court?

It’s not surprising that he thought so, mainly because Ran Xiaomei and his colleague had the same surname.

Moreover, this surname is relatively rare.

"Teacher Yan, I'm here for a home visit today. Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo live in this courtyard, right?"

Ran Qiuye explained with a smile.

As a young artist who returned from abroad and is determined to achieve something, she has a stronger desire for progress and a stronger sense of professionalism.

"It's a home visit. Brother Wang Yuanchao lives in this courtyard, in the middle courtyard. I'll take you there."

When he heard that she was here for a home visit, and was visiting Wang Mengde's family, Yan Bugui quickly said with a smile.

"Teacher Ran, you are so dedicated that you are busy working instead of taking a break on this weekend."

Putting down the weapon in his hand, Yan Bugui walked in front, still complimenting people constantly.

In fact, he secretly laughed at the young teacher for being so stupid. He was still busy working on Sunday and was not paid overtime. He was unwilling to do something for free.

Pass through the moon gate and arrive at the central courtyard.

Qin Huairu was washing clothes by the pool in the middle courtyard. Because it was cold, her hands were frozen red.

Next to him, Sha Zhu was also washing cabbage, while his wife Yu Li, with a big belly and a big cotton-padded jacket, stood beside him, watching him work.

The two of them were talking and laughing.

"Second uncle, what are you doing?"

Seeing a young and beautiful girl following Yan Bugui, Qin Huairu greeted her and then asked in confusion.

"Haha, this is our teacher Ran Qiuye from Red Star Primary School. She came here specially for a home visit today."

Yan Bugui introduced with a smile.

"Home visit?!"

When Qin Huairu heard that it was the teacher's home visit, her face suddenly turned ugly. She stood up a little embarrassedly and wiped her hands on the apron around her waist.

Then he whispered:
"Well, Mr. Ran, our son Bang Geng hasn't paid his tuition for this semester. It's not that we don't want to pay, but our family is in financial difficulty.

Can you wait a little longer? You can ask the second uncle about this matter. He can testify for our family."

Then he turned to Yan Bugui and said, "Second Uncle, please explain this to Teacher Ran as well."

She mistook Ran Qiuye for someone who came to collect Banggeng's tuition.

Before Yan Bugui and Ran Qiuye could speak, Sha Zhu, who was eavesdropping on the side, immediately spoke up:
"Teacher Ran, Sister Qin's family is indeed in financial difficulty. There are five people in the family, and she is the only one working in the steel mill to earn money to support the family.

Just over twenty yuan a month, not even enough for the average living standard in Beijing.

So, how much is Banggeng's tuition per month? I..."

He was talking excitedly and was about to take on the responsibility, but Yu Li on the other side was not happy and interrupted him directly:
"Silly Zhu, the child and I are hungry, why don't you hurry up and wash the vegetables and cook."

As she said this, she puffed out her belly and glared at him again.

She was a little annoyed. This silly Zhu was usually nice to everyone, but as long as Qin Huairu was around or something happened in the Jia family, he would come forward to help.

He doesn't know how to avoid suspicion at all.

"Hey, Yu Li, you and the child wait a moment, I'll go cook right away."

When he heard that his wife and the son in her belly were hungry, Sha Zhu came to his senses.

Ever since Wang Mengde took Yu Li's pulse a while ago and said it was most likely a boy, Yu Li's status in the family has risen sharply.

Sha Zhu not only brought good things home more frequently, but also went along with her in everything.

Fortunately, Yu Li is a smart person. She doesn't get carried away by success and just occasionally shows a little temper as a spice of life between husband and wife.

Qin Huairu was quite happy when she saw Shazhu stand up as if to pay tuition for her son Banggeng.

But it was only after Yu Li disrupted the situation that she was ready to speak again and say a few nice words.

"Bang Geng Mom, you misunderstood.

This teacher Ran is not Bang Geng’s teacher, but Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo’s teacher. ”

Yan Bugui quickly explained to Qin Huairu.

As for Sha Zhu, he didn't want to bother with him.

Ever since he got his son married, he felt more and more that he was at a huge disadvantage compared to Yu Li.

"Oh, I see. Sorry."

Qin Huairu said somewhat embarrassedly.

Then, he picked up the wash basin, wrung out the clothes, and walked back home.

"Meng De, are you home?"

When they arrived at the Wang family’s door, Yan Bugui pushed the frame of his glasses and spoke loudly.

Ran Qiuye tied up the bicycle, then put his hands together, put them to his mouth and blew hard.

Even though she was wearing woolen gloves, the cold wind kept blowing in, and her hands were almost frozen.

"Uncle, I'm at home. Please come in directly."

Wang Mengde's voice came from the room.

When I entered the house, I saw only Wang Mengde in the living room. He was holding his little girl and sitting by the stove flipping toasted steamed bread slices.

“Meng De, this is Yuan Chao and Wei Guo’s homeroom teacher, Ms. Ran Qiuye.

Teacher Ran, this is Wang Yuanchao’s brother Wang Mengde. "

Yan Bugui introduced both parties.

"So Teacher Ran is here, please take a seat."

When Wang Mengde heard that it was his brother's teacher, he quickly put his daughter on a chair, then stood up and poured a cup of hot tea for each of them.

Holding the enamel pot in his hand and smelling the fragrance of tea, Yan Bugui felt secretly proud.

I am good at calculating. I have mixed it into a cup of tea. Isn't this a profit?

You know, in the past three years, tea has been a hot-selling commodity. Only during the Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival can a family buy some.

What's more, most of what you buy are high-quality pieces, so even if you drink them sparingly, you won't be able to drink them for long.

It’s not like now. The cup of tea in his hand was made from the best young buds.

"Teacher Ran, are my brothers being naughty again at school?"

Wang Mengde sat opposite and asked Ran Qiuye.

He remembered that this teacher from Red Star Primary School almost had a romance with Sha Zhu in the original drama, but it was secretly sabotaged by Qin Huairu.

Otherwise, the two of them would have been married and had children long ago. Looking at the very handsome man in front of her, Ran Qiuye blushed slightly.

She didn't expect that this student's brother was so handsome.

Unfortunately, it seems that they are already married and may even have children.

After calming down, she whispered:

"Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo had several fights with their classmates some time ago. Once, they even went to another class to fight.

Fortunately, the teacher discovered and stopped them in time, and after criticism and education, they did not change at all afterwards. "

As he spoke, he couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand.

This pair of twins can be said to be the bullies of Hongxing Primary School. The two brothers are tall and strong, and they know some basic martial arts.

Even junior high school students can't beat them, let alone elementary school students.

In school, every now and then, many students would come to the teachers to complain, saying that they were beaten by them.

"I often fight with others at school. That's wrong."

Wang Mengde pretended to be angry and said: "Teacher Ran, they are not at home now. When they come back, I will criticize and educate them.

Let them behave themselves in school and not fight with others easily.'

“Then thank you Comrade Wang Mengde for your support for our work.

Oh, there is one more thing. A few days ago, the two of them wanted to send a female classmate home. "

Ran Qiuye said again.

In fact, fighting in school is a common thing. If it weren’t for this time when a girl came to her crying and told her about it.

She may not come for a home visit so soon.

"What? They actually want to fall in love early!"

Wang Mengde was stunned.

He didn't expect that his two younger brothers, who were only thirteen years old and in the sixth grade of elementary school, were so precocious that they wanted to send their female classmates home.

I really don’t notice it usually.

"Well, it's not puppy love yet, but there are signs of it developing in that direction, so please give me some more guidance.

After all, they are still young, so their priority should be their studies for now.”

Ran Qiuye quickly explained, and then added:

“In fact, both Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo are quite smart, but they just don’t study hard.

If you study hard, you will have no problem going to middle school, high school, and college."

"Thank you, Teacher Ran. As parents, we must provide good guidance and education."

Wang Mengde agreed readily.

The three of them chatted for almost an hour and drank several cups of tea.

Ran Qiuye was reluctantly ready to say goodbye. If he didn't leave now, it would soon be dark.

Yan Bugui reluctantly put down the enamel pot in his hand. The tea from Wang Mengde's family was so fragrant that even after being brewed in hot water several times, there was still some tea flavor.

night.

While eating, Wang Mengde told his teacher about his home visit.

At first, when Ran Xiaomei and Wang Hao heard that their son had a fight with others at school, they didn't think much of it and just gave him a few verbal instructions.
Next, when he learned that his two sons were going to send their female classmates home, he immediately became anxious.

In the end, Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo only ate half of their meal, but their buttocks were covered with marks from being beaten.

It’s no wonder that Wang Hao and Ran Xiaomei were angry. In this era, being a hooligan is a very serious matter.

It is also very embarrassing. If this really happens and gets out, Old Wang's family lives nearby and he won't be able to hold his head up.

Late March.

The weather has gradually become warmer.

It rained in the suburbs of Beijing two days ago. Today, Wang Mengde returned to Tiangezhuang. When he came back, Wang Tianshi stuffed him a lot of shepherd's purse.

When he got home, in addition to shepherd's purse, he also took out a piece of pork weighing more than one pound from the space.

"Shengnan, let's make dumplings tonight, stuffed with pork and shepherd's purse."

"Oh, there's so much pork and shepherd's purse. I'll knead the dough right away and make dumplings for dinner."

Seeing the shepherd's purse that she loved to eat, He Shengnan immediately said happily.

She has always had a special liking for pork and shepherd's purse dumplings, but unfortunately due to difficulties, this wild vegetable is a life-saving thing for farmers and some city residents.

Old Wang's family had no shortage of food, so she hadn't had any to eat in the past few years.

Unexpectedly, her man actually brought it back today, which made her mouth water immediately. She put down the work in her hands and started preparing dumplings with bread.

The dinner table.

Wang Mengde took out a bottle of good wine from the cupboard and said to Wang Hao:

"Dad, let's drink a little tonight."

"Okay, let's drink a little and celebrate."

Wang Hao said with a smile.

Just yesterday, the country officially announced that the meningitis epidemic that had been raging for several months was finally under control after unremitting efforts.

As of yesterday, there had been no new cases found in the country for ten days.

According to the characteristics of meningococcal disease, the incubation period is usually ten days at most, so there will indeed be no new cases.

"Yes, we have to celebrate. I haven't had a good rest in the past few months because of this epidemic."

Wang Mengde opened the bottle cap, poured three taels of liquor for each of them, and then, under Ran Xiaomei's expressionless gaze, put away the remaining half bottle.

It turns out that dumplings go well with wine, the more you drink, the more you enjoy.

After finishing the three taels of wine in the glass, Wang Hao was still not satisfied. He said to Wang Mengde:
"Meng De, give me another five cents of tiger bone wine."

Ran Xiaomei, who was chatting quietly with her daughter-in-law nearby, heard it, looked up and rolled her eyes at him.

However, she didn't say much about drinking tiger bone wine.

This kind of medicinal wine is not harmful to the body and can also have health-care effects. Drinking it in moderation is good for the body.

After dinner, several people sat in the living room.

"Shengnan, your sister-in-law from your mother's side is about to give birth."

Ran Xiaomei asked while sewing the soles of shoes.

At the end of June last year, He Shengwen's wife Guo Yuhe became pregnant.

Counting the days, it has been more than nine months now, and it is time for the baby to be born.

"Mom, I went over there this morning and they said it would only be a matter of two days."

He Shengnan replied with a smile.

Today, she specially brought back some brown sugar and eggs that Wang Mengde had prepared in advance back to her parents' home. These things were for the mother to supplement her nutrition.

"That's great. My in-laws are finally going to have a grandson."

A few years ago, when Zhou Xiaoyan came over to help take care of the children, Ran Xiaomei could actually see that her in-laws were extremely envious of him for having a grandson.

Now, finally, I got what I wanted.

"This family still needs to have more children. Only when the population is large can it prosper."

As she said this, she glanced at her daughter-in-law with a smile.

He Shengnan immediately understood her mother-in-law's voice-over, and she glanced at her man with a smile.
