Chapter 34 Parents Meeting

"Why so late today?"

As soon as Jiang Yu left the school gate, he saw Qi Nuliang who was smoking a cigarette by the flower bed.Those annoying things at school—study and Zhang Xiaoqiang were put aside for the time being, and he just walked up quickly: "I was left by the teacher for a while."

"A mistake?" Qi Nuliang bit his cigarette butt, straightened his bicycle, kicked off the kickstand, helped the bicycle in front of Jiang Yu, and sat on it first.

Jiang Yu sat on the back seat, with a pair of toes hanging on the small extra screw on the rear wheel axle, supporting Qi Nuliang's waist.

"No, there is a poverty subsidy that can be applied for. Let me take the materials to the street to get a stamp."

"Your teacher likes you very much?"

"No, it's just that I qualify."

The weight-bearing rear axle squeaked, and the cool evening breeze greeted me.

Turning into the alley from the main road of Zhongxue Road, the scent of various meals is carried in the evening breeze.This was the most relaxed and comfortable moment for Jiang Yu. He gently pressed his forehead against Qi Nuliang's back, and the smell of tobacco rushed into his nose with the wind.He closed his eyes and let the cool wind make his sportswear bulge.

Thinking of what the head teacher said, should I discuss with Qi Nuliang about making up lessons.

Qi Nuliang's salary in his new job is much higher, and he knows that he attaches great importance to his achievements.It's just that Jiang Yu still can't open the mouth, he has asked enough, and the study should be done by himself.

But now he really can't figure it out.

"What would you like to eat tonight?"

"casual."

"Just eat noodles outside, I'm too lazy to cook."

"Ah."

Qi Nuliang parked his bicycle in front of Mr. Deng's shop.When the two were sitting and waiting to meet, Qi Nuliang suddenly asked, "Are you unhappy today?"

"No." When the face came, Jiang Yu pushed it to Qi Nuliang.

"I see you are a little wilted."

Jiang Yu cheered up and smiled: "I'm a little tired from physical education in the afternoon."

"You thin arms and legs are tired after last gym class?" As he spoke, Qi Nuliang gave him the beef in the bowl, "Eat more."

"It's not like eating to gain weight." Having said that, he happily stuffed his mouth with meat and puffed up his cheeks, "I've grown taller, for physical education class, 1.6 meters five."

Qi Nuliang smiled and asked the boss to give him more meat.

"It's been more than two months since school started, how is your study going, can you keep up?"

Jiang Yu's chewing movement froze: "...not bad."

"Just keep up, don't worry, take your time."

"Brother, what about you, what did you do today?" Jiang Yu didn't want to talk about studying, so he quickly changed the subject.

Qi Nuliang lit another cigarette, and said without much interest: "What can I do, isn't it the same every day?"

Seeing the man frowning, he looked a little bored while smoking a cigarette.Jiang Yu could tell that Qi Nuliang had changed to a new job. Speaking of it, the salary was much higher and the working hours were shorter, but he was not as happy as when he was in the restaurant before, so he must be under a lot of pressure.

"Did you meet another annoying customer?"

Jiang Yu guessed right, and was complained by a customer again today.Also because he was in a hurry and typed the wrong price tag, he was taken out by the manager and talked about it.Said that he has been working for two months, and he is not yet proficient, his movements are slow, and his attitude towards customers is not good.If you make a mistake next time, your wages will be deducted.

Qi Nuliang, a big man of 1.8 meters, stood in front of a short winter melon of 1.6 meters and was criticized.All he could think about at the time was that he could hit five of these short winter melons with one punch.However, the reality is that he can't say a word "no", he has to laugh along with him, and quickly admit his mistakes.

Qi Nuliang sucked the cigarette butt to the end, threw it on the ground and crushed it, and stopped thinking about these troublesome things.

"Your birthday is next month, I will pay you at the end of the month, and I will take you to buy new clothes."

"No, I have clothes."

"Last year's clothes were all too small."

Jiang Yu didn't believe it, he was still wearing loose clothes last year.However, he didn't expect that it was his age, so he went back and turned out his winter clothes for a try, and sure enough, his wrists were exposed.

This time Qi Nuliang dragged Jiang Yu to the commercial street over Hongcheng Square, where he was going to buy clothes for him.

Jiang Yu struggled back with his arms: "It's all clothes, it's much more expensive there, and we don't allow bargaining."

"It must be expensive for a reason, and I'm too lazy to tell people."

"I can tell it myself."

"What are you doing with that matter, you listen to me."

Qi Nuliang took the child into the shopping mall with an expression of reluctance.

In addition to women's clothing, the good locations on the first floor are some sports brand stores.After buying clothes last time, Qi Nuliang knew that Jiang Yu looked good in sportswear, and he liked it himself, so he poked his neck through the glass window to look at those sports brand stores.It seemed that there was nothing famous about it, so he lowered his head and asked, "Which brand are you guys wearing in fashion now?"

Qi Nuliang has studied in junior high school, and he also knows that there is a certain atmosphere of comparison among classmates.Dress better, dress up better, and gain more respect from your peers.Thinking of the previous experience, Jiang Yu was not welcome by others, and was scolded for having no father and no mother. Presumably they all bullied him to be poor.

Seeing that Qi Nuliang was about to go in, Jiang Yu quickly grabbed him: "This brand is too expensive."

"Go in and have a look, it doesn't cost money."

"Our classmates all wear this." Jiang Yu took Qi Nuliang to a much cheaper domestic sports brand store.

Qi Nuliang raised his head and looked at this store. In terms of decoration alone, it was much worse than the store just now.

"Brother, I'm still applying for a poverty allowance, so I can't wear expensive clothes."

It was the time for the new winter clothes to be released. On the recommendation of the shop assistant, Qi Nuliang asked Jiang Yu to pick out a down jacket, a pair of jeans and a pair of sneakers.At the time of checkout, it was a membership and a discount. The discounts were repeated, and it cost a small one thousand in the end.

When he came out of the shop with a paper bag, Qi Nuliang was very happy, and said that a new Decos opened across the street.This was the first fast food restaurant to open in Hongcheng, so Jiang Yu was going to eat fried chicken and hamburgers.

"Brother, don't you buy clothes for yourself?"

"I have clothes...I feel for meat in the supermarket every day. The new clothes and old clothes are the same. After get off work, I'm covered in lard. I'll buy them after the Chinese New Year break."

Jiang Yuteng held Qi Nuliang's hand: "Don't eat fried chicken, let's go home and cook."

"What's so delicious about the rice?" Qi Nuliang grabbed Jiang Yu's hand and went to the store, "It's newly opened, eat something fresh, if it doesn't taste good, you won't come here to eat."

This weekend, they were not the only ones who ate fresh food, and Dexter's bright store was overcrowded.

After finally finding two vacant seats, Qi Nuliang asked Jiang Yu to occupy one, and went to the front to order food by himself.After a while, he brought over a plate full of food, and found a small thing from among the crooked paper bags full of food, and put it in front of Jiang Yu.

"I ordered a children's set meal for you, and they gave you small toys. There are 3 of them in total, and you can collect them after 3 visits. They also gave me two coupons."

Jiang Yu looked at the round chicken ornament the size of two fingers, and didn't speak for a while.

"Don't like it? I think other kids want it."

Jiang Yu looked past Qi Nuliang, and looked at the child lying in front of the ordering counter clamoring for toys, who was only a little taller than the ordering counter.He withdrew his gaze and put the chicken in his pocket: "I like it."

"Then eat quickly, these things don't taste good when they're cold." Qi Nuliang gave Jiang Yu a disposable glove, and helped him insert the Coke straw.

In the past, the child was always happy when he ate delicious food, but today his mood has not been very high.Is it a dislike of fries burgers?Can't.Not to mention that there is nothing Jiang Yu doesn't like to eat, which child doesn't like to eat these.

"I'm not very happy to see you."

"No."

"If you don't have any, hurry up and eat these chicken legs." Qi Nuliang threw the paper bag containing the chicken legs in front of Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu didn't reach out to take it.He lowered his head and whispered, "Brother, it's too expensive."

"Is that why you're unhappy?"

"We have no money..."

"I'm not still earning money." Qi Nuliang interrupted him impatiently, "These things are not your concern. Food, clothing, and money are all grown-ups' concerns. You just need to study well."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yu felt even more guilty, because he just couldn't study well.It seems that Qi Nuliang didn't deserve the sacrifices he made to him.

Qi Nuliang didn't know what was going on, but the child became even more depressed.He took a fried chicken leg and put it close to Jiang Yu's mouth, coaxing him: "There will be no money, you see, it doesn't matter if I only spend a little on the salary I only receive. Even if it's all spent, there won't be time until next month." ? Really don’t worry, eat your chicken legs quickly.”

Jiang Yu took the chicken leg, but didn't put it in his mouth, and said in a low voice, "We're halfway through the exam... Maybe I didn't do well in the exam."

Hearing that he didn't do well in the exam, Qi Nuliang's heart sank, as expected, he jumped two grades suddenly, was it difficult to follow?He took off the disposable gloves, rubbed Jiang Yu's head, and pretended to be relaxed: "It's okay, this is only the first year of junior high school, take your time. You are so smart, you can definitely do it."

Jiang Yu wasn't sure if he could do it, so he didn't speak.

Qi Nuliang hesitated for a moment, but still asked him: "How many points did you score this time?"

Jiang Yu shook his head: "I just finished the exam, and the score hasn't come out yet."

"It's not that the score hasn't come out yet, how do you know that you didn't do well in the exam? Besides, it doesn't matter if you don't do well in the exam once or twice."

Qi Nuliang was obviously comforting him, but for some reason, Jiang Yu felt more and more uncomfortable listening to it.There is another matter, he has been holding back for several days, hesitating whether to tell Qi Nuliang or not.

"Brother, the school will notify parents that there will be a parent meeting next Wednesday."

"parent meeting?"

"If something happens, you don't have to come."

"I can take a rest, I'll come. Morning or afternoon, what time?"

"nine in the morning."
