Shu Li's daily on-duty and evening repair time is Thursday.

In the evening, when there was one self-study class left to get off work, the political teacher in the office suddenly received a call and asked with a sad face, "Is any of you free to exchange evening classes with me tonight?"

Someone asked with concern: "What's the matter? Is there something urgent?"

While packing her things, she said anxiously: "My daughter's class teacher just called and said that she was not feeling well at school today. She just took a test. She found that she had a fever. My husband is away on business trips for the past few days. I am not free.I have to go to school to pick her up and take her to the hospital."

Everyone can understand her mood, but the incident happened too suddenly, and it is almost time to get off work, and many teachers have already made arrangements for the evening.

Seeing that no one spoke, Shu Li thought for a while and said, "I can help you with this, I happen to be fine tonight."

The political teacher asked sincerely and urgently: "When are you usually on duty?"

"Thursday." Shu Li said bluntly, "You can help me get back when the time comes."

"Okay, thank you. My daughter is waiting for me, so I'll go first."

After the teacher left, Shu Li also put down the things he was packing up to take home from get off work, and took them out of his bag again.

She glanced at the time, sat leisurely on the office chair and played with her mobile phone for a while, waiting for the dinner in the cafeteria at night, and by the way, informed Zhao Jingchuan in advance, so that he would come to pick her up from school stupidly without knowing it.

A Sydney: Tonight I am on duty for late repairs, and I don’t get off work until nine o’clock!

After sending this sentence, Shu Li lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, thinking whether to say something in the past or send him an emoji.

While she was hesitating, her fingers touched the screen inadvertently, and a [Don't miss me too much.GIF] was randomly sent out.

This is a bit out of her style, afraid of appearing too narcissistic and ambiguous, Shu Li is about to withdraw.

However, Zhao Jingchuan had already sent a reply, a simple and clear word of "good", which also showed that he had seen the emoji.

Shu Li helped Fu's forehead helplessly, but in the end he didn't care about anything, let alone reply him.

Escaping from reality, quit WeChat and prepared to eat.

On the other side, Zhao Jingchuan, who got off work, had just stepped into the elevator to go to the underground parking lot, when he happened to receive a message reminder from Shu Li.

He stared at it for two seconds, and saw that a kitten wagging its tail had also been sent an emoticon package, and immediately the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he replied with a "yes".

Going down to the third floor, Zhu Hongbo, an otolaryngologist who was also off work, came in with a briefcase and pounded his back. Seeing him, he was not surprised and said, "Yo! Doctor Zhao, you leave work so early to pick up your wife?"

Zhao Jingchuan glanced at him lightly, and threw a rhetorical question: "Who told you that I'm going to pick up my wife?"

"Guess!"

Hospitals are holy places for gossip, even if it's just a trivial matter, it can always be passed on to other departments for everyone to know, and some of the more outrageous ones can have different versions for each department.

After receiving the premarital examination report that day, many people in the courtyard knew about Zhao Jingchuan's marriage, and they didn't know who found out about it. Various discussions said that he and Shu Li met through a blind date, the marriage was arranged by their parents, and the woman's occupation is stillThe middle school teacher that the elders in the family are most satisfied with.

Zhu Hongbo raised his watch and raised his eyebrows at him, with a look of "brother, I still can't see through you": "Isn't it time for our people's teachers to get off work after a while? I never saw you leave work so early before."Ever? Even if I have nothing to do, I will stay in the office for a while to observe the patients. It’s really strange recently, I’ve run into a ghost. I don’t believe it, it has nothing to do with it!”

Zhao Jingchuan's voice was cold and his face was expressionless, making it impossible to see any signs of lying: "Then you really guessed wrong."

In some respects, he is somewhat similar to Shu Li, and he also doesn't like to use his personal affairs as a topic of conversation to chat with his colleagues, especially when chatting between men is always inappropriate.

When we arrived at the parking lot, Zhao Jingchuan walked up to an Audi and opened the door. Before getting in the car, he glanced at the person: "I want to know so much, why don't you follow me to see if I'm going to school or going home?"

"Tch!" The man gave him a sideways glance, and said bored in his heart, "Who wants to follow you? Get lost." Then he got into his car cursing and left.

When Zhao Jingchuan got home, he pushed open the door at the entrance, and found that it was really empty, and there was no one there, only Alaska wagging its tail and hopping around his legs, warmly welcoming its owner home.

He turned on the light, squatted down, scratched its chin lightly, played with it for a while, and began to think about the question of "what's for dinner tonight".

After marrying Shu Li, as long as he was free at night, she basically settled the dinner together.

I suddenly have to figure out a way by myself tonight, and I'm not used to it.

Zhao Jingchuan changed his clothes, led Alaska out, took him around the neighborhood, packed a rice noodle for tonight's dinner, and went upstairs.

After eating, he disposed of the garbage, went into the study to read for a while, and then went out to watch the news broadcast on TV for a while.

Finally waited until the time was close to half past eight.

Zhao Jingchuan left the lonely dog at home with the car keys, and went out again.

When Shu Li is on duty for late study, she usually chooses one of the two classes she teaches who is not well-disciplined to go in and sit on the podium.

The students in the audience are quietly studying by themselves, and she turns on the computer to do courseware or write lesson plans seriously, so that the efficiency of discipline management will be twice the result with half the effort.

Fifteen minutes before the end of get out of class, the phone on the table lit up, and someone sent a message.

Shu Li was too focused on the courseware, and her phone was turned to silent mode, so she didn't notice it at all. When the class was finally over, she turned off the computer, picked up the phone habitually, and found that Zhao Jingchuan had come to pick her up.

Message sent fifteen minutes ago.

jc: The old place is waiting for you.

When Zhao Jingchuan came to pick her up or take her to work, he usually would not park his car at the school gate, but parked beside a road in a park not far from the school.

Shu Li knew where the "old place" he was referring to was, and while walking towards the office with the computer in her arms, she bowed her head and typed to reply him: Why did you come here so early?

She clearly said that she didn't get off work until nine o'clock, and her home was not far from school, so there would be no traffic jams at this time. In fact, there was no need to come and wait so early, unless he also just got off work.

Zhao Jingchuan didn't reply to her, Shu Li didn't know what he was doing, so he put down his phone in a self-defeating manner, and went back to the office to pack his things.

After packing up, she was about to leave.

A female classmate who was carrying a schoolbag and was about to leave school stopped her at the door of the office. Shu Li felt that she looked familiar, but she couldn't remember which student she had taught.

The female classmate looked at her cautiously, and asked politely: "Teacher, are you free? I want to talk to you about something."

"Which class are you in?" Shu Li nodded, and responded to her gently, "I'm free, what's the matter?"

She stood upright, with her hands hanging by her sides, nervously clutching the hem of her trousers, and introduced herself: "I don't know if you remember me, but I am a student you taught last semester, and my name is Zhou Ying."

"Oh." Shu Li remembered that she was also teaching the second year of junior high school last semester, and the second year of junior high school has been promoted to the third year of junior high school this semester, "You are Zhou Ying, I remember, I remember. You came to see me so late,Is there something wrong?"

"It's like this." Zhou Ying wore a pair of glasses and spoke very softly. She looked very introverted, a bit like her back then.The history teacher in our class is a male teacher, and sometimes he speaks so fast that I can't understand it."

Facing the students, Shu Li has always been very patient. Even though she knew that Zhao Jingchuan had been waiting for her outside the school, she was not in a hurry: "Do you want me to give you some advice? Don't worry if you can't keep up.This is not a subject with strong scientific thinking. Whether you can understand it in class will not have a great impact on your final score. The junior high school exam is very basic knowledge. You can read more books, or ask your classmates what are the key points,Then……"

Zhou Ying interrupted her and said: "I know, but I am very anxious. I want to go to South City Middle School, but my grades are a bit hopeless now. My family thinks the same... want me to find a teacher for tutoring..."

It was only then that Shu Li understood her intention: "Tutoring?"

"Yes." Zhou Ying was afraid that she would not agree, and then explained, "I originally planned to look for it outside, but the tutoring institutions outside felt unreliable, after much deliberation, I still think it is better to find an on-campus teacher.I think that when you taught our class last semester, you understood and taught very well, so I want to ask your opinion."

"Okay, I understand." Shu Li lowered his head and thought for a while, and replied to her, "But this request is a bit too sudden, I have to think about it, you leave me one of your family's phone numbers, I will try my best to communicate with you."God will give them an answer, okay?"

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Shu."

Shu Li went into the office again to find a piece of draft paper, and gave her a pen, "Write it here, and by the way, write down the surnames of your family members, who is yours, so I can call them."

Zhou Ying wrote down the phone number, said goodbye and left with her schoolbag.

Shu Li held the note, seeing that it was past 9:20, and Zhao Jingchuan was still waiting for her outside the school.

She walked down hastily, and also walked out of the school gate.

Zhao Jingchuan's car has been parked in the same place and has not moved, leaning against the side of the road alone with low beams on.

When Shu Li arrived, he directly opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and glanced at him quietly from the side.

He was looking down at the medical information on his mobile phone with no obvious impatience between his brows. When he saw her sitting in, he said in a low voice, "You're coming?"

"Yeah." Shu Li felt the need to explain, "Just now I had a student who wanted to ask me for tutoring and asked me if I would like to. We chatted for a while, so it took so long to come out. Have you been waiting for a long time?"

As soon as the words fell, Shu Li suddenly wanted to withdraw.

Based on the information sent by his mobile phone, he must have been waiting for thirty-five minutes...?

Is this not too long?

Fortunately, he just smiled and didn't blame her. Instead, he asked with concern: "Why do I need you for tutoring? Extra tutoring?"

"That's right." Shu Li told him, "He said he was worried about the teachers in the tutoring institutions outside, and wanted to find teachers in the school."

Zhao Jingchuan reversed the car and left with one hand, without looking at her, he continued to ask, "Can the school allow you to pay tuition?"

"It doesn't seem to be so strict here." Shu Li didn't understand why he suddenly cared so much about her work, but she continued to tell him in detail, "There are several teachers I know who are helping people with tutoring., They are all using this to make money! Anyway, no one cares about this matter, and the school is acquiescing!"

"So, are you ready to agree?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet." Shu Li wanted to agree, after all, that girl is so sincere, tutoring is not a bad thing, but it might be a little troublesome.

If you really want to give her tutoring, you definitely don't have time on weekdays, so you can only spend one morning or afternoon on weekends to attend classes.

The question is where are the lessons?Teacher's apartment?

What a hassle!

Shu Li was lazy and reluctant to go to school on the big weekend, and wanted to think about a more convenient way.

Shu Li sent a WeChat message to ask Cheng Lingqing, planning to use her to find out how other teachers give students tutoring.

Cheng Lingqing said: They all take tutoring at their own home, and let the students go to their homes directly, and let the parents of the students pick them up.

To go home...?

Shu Li, who had never had tutoring since childhood, blinked in surprise, and turned his head to ask Zhao Jingchuan's opinion: "I asked my colleagues, and they all said that tutoring is usually done at home, and the parents of the students will pick it up.If I give tutoring to students in our home, do you agree?"

The car has already entered the parking lot of the community.

Zhao Jingchuan parked the car, raised his eyes and looked over. Facing her eager eyes, he couldn't refuse for a while: "When?"

"Saturday or Sunday morning."

"It's up to you." He said generously, "Anyway, I'm not always at home."

"Okay, then I will reply to her parents."

Shu Li got out of the car, took out the note, entered the number and dialed the number above.

It's just that she didn't understand why Zhou Ying left her cousin's phone number.

Where are her parents?

After dialing, Shu Li subconsciously greeted: "Mr. Zhou, hello. I'm Zhou Ying's teacher. She came to the office tonight and told me about tutoring. I asked her to stay on the phone. Okay.It's convenient to contact parents. Before we talk, I want to ask, why did she leave your phone number? Where are her parents? "

Shu Li thinks it's better to let parents know about tutoring. As the most direct guardian, it's best to talk to parents.

On the opposite side was a thick and hearty male voice. It could be heard that he was not very old, probably the same age as her, "Teacher, hello. I'm sorry teacher, her parents are gone due to some accidents, so she gave me my phone number."you."

"I'm sorry." Shu Li really didn't expect it, and regretted his ignorance, "I didn't mean to ask this way, I really don't know, I'm sorry, don't take it to heart."

"It's okay, it's the same when you talk to me, she lives with us now." The man changed the subject friendly, "By the way, teacher, what's your name?"

"I'm her history teacher in the second year of junior high school. My surname is Shu, and my name is Shu Li. You can just call me Teacher Shu."

The man suddenly asked in surprise, "Shu Li?"

Shu Li didn't understand why his tone was so surprised, "Yes, the book of books, the dawn of dawn."

"Mr. Shu, may I take the liberty to ask you a personal question? Did you go to South City Middle School in high school?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, because I used to know a girl named Shu Li in South City Middle School, who has the same name and name as you." The man hesitated, and asked tentatively, "Maybe you know Zhou Songran?"

Shu Li was startled: "Zhou Songran? I know him."

"I am Zhou Songran." Zhou Songran was convinced that she was his high school classmate, laughed on the phone, and sighed sincerely, "You are the Shu Li I know, right? We are in the same class in the second and third year of high school, do you remember?"? You wore glasses back then, and you were tall, I still have to see clearly!"

"Yes, I did wear glasses in high school, so there should be nothing wrong with that."

"Oh my god! I can't believe it at all, you actually went to be a teacher in No. 3 Middle School."

In the parking lot of the community, a man and a woman came back from nowhere drunk, walked unsteadily together, and almost ran into Shu Li who was on the phone.

When entering the elevator, Zhao Jingchuan held Shu Li's shoulders, let her walk inside, stared at her suddenly bright eyes, and asked casually: "Who is Zhou Songran?"

Shu Li still hadn't gotten over the surprise of meeting his old classmate, so he covered his phone with his hand, raised his head and told him with a smile, "My sophomore is at the same table."

"... Oh." Zhao Jingchuan didn't answer much, and his answer was a little perfunctory because he didn't know him.

The author has something to say:

Dr. Zhao gradually became empty, lonely and cold...

Zhou Songran is the cannon fodder at the same table mentioned in the campus section~ Comments have red envelopes~
