Now that she had shared the eggs and candies, Lu Jueyu waved to her daughter and left the classroom. Instead of going home, she walked toward the teacher’s office.
Last time, it was Teacher Lin who defended Dong Li and Dong Huang against so many parents. So, now that she was here, she wanted to visit her. When she stood at the door of the teacher’s office, she knocked on the door and said, "Hello teachers, I’m sorry for coming without notice."
Seeing that it was the parent of her student, Lin Muai stood up, walked to the door and said, "Hello, Xiao Huang’s mother. Please come in and sit down."
When she walked into the office, the teachers looked at her with smiles. Although this school is the only one in the entire brigade, they have only six teachers and one principal. Therefore, the office is not big and is shared by everyone.
After sitting down, Lin Muai asked, "Xiao Huang’s mother, I wonder what brings you here today? Is there anything you want to discuss with me about Xiao Huang?"
Lu Jueyu smiled at her, used the bamboo basket as a cover, and took out a bag of roasted nuts, a jar of peach jam, and a package of fruit slices from her space. She placed them on the table with ten red eggs and a small package of milk candies.
When Lin Muai saw this, she wondered, "Xiao Huang’s mother, this..."
"Teacher Lin, today is my daughter’s birthday. I made some red eggs and snacks to share with the teachers and classmates. This is just a small gesture from my husband and I to thank you for taking care of my family’s children," Lu Jueyu said with a smile.
As soon as everyone heard her words, they understood the purpose of her coming today. Although everyone envied Lin Muai for receiving so many good things, no one said anything and pretended to be busy preparing lessons. When they stall, they hope to get some shares.
Lin Muai was flattered and said, "Xiao Huang’s mother, I just did my job. Please take back these gifts. It’s too expensive, I can’t accept it."
While other teachers called her an idiot in their hearts, Lu Jueyu was delighted by her responses. Such a teacher is very rare in this era, where everyone is trying to get more food and money. She is lucky that her daughter can study under the guidance of a good teacher like her.
As her impression of Lin Muai became better and better, Lu Jueyu said, "Teacher Lin, this is not a gift, but some snacks to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. Please don’t refuse, otherwise Xiao Huang may blame me when she finds out I didn’t share the red eggs with her teacher."
Now that she had said that, Lin Muai was embarrassed to continue refusing. So, she could only accept it, and said, "Then I won’t be polite. Thank you, Xiao Huang’s mother."
Lu Jueyu nodded to her and said, "Teacher Lin, I have something to do at home, so I won’t disturb you any longer. Goodbye." freewebnσvel.cѳm
