Chapter 36 No secrets

There is no lunch break today, Jiang Yu and Qi Nuliang walked slowly to school together after dinner.

Qi Nuliang finished smoking a cigarette and lit another one. The hard paper shell of the envelope was still in the inner pocket of his jacket, pressing against his chest, making it uncomfortable.He didn't know how to speak, how to analyze the pros and cons with this child, after all, he himself had never really been in a relationship.

But now it's only him, if he doesn't say it, who else can tell this child about it.It would be great if Yao Huilan was still around, she was articulate and very good at explaining this kind of reasoning.

Qi Nuliang coughed twice and cleared his throat.

"Jiang Yu, don't put too much pressure on your studies. Let's take your time and make up lessons slowly. However, you have always been a sensible child. What things you should do now and what you shouldn't do are in your heart. Better than me, right?"

Jiang Yu looked at Qi Nuliang and examined him: "Brother, what exactly do you want to say?"

Qi Nuliang is not a person who knows how to be tactful, he simply took out the pink envelope from his pocket, and handed the "criminal evidence" to Jiang Yu, hoping to hear his explanation first.

Jiang Yu raised his eyelids to look at him, took the pink envelope from his hand, tore off the letter paper inside the envelope several times, and threw it in a pile of garbage on the street.

Qi Nuliang was surprised: "You...won't you take a look first?"

"It doesn't matter whether you read it or not. Anyway, I won't reply." Jiang Yu raised his eyes, his eyes were innocent, "Someone wrote something and stuffed it in my desk while I'm not in the classroom. What can I do?"

"...Oh, that's right." Qi Nuliang's heart softened, it seemed that he had misunderstood.

"What do you think?" Jiang Yu choked dissatisfied.

Qi Nuliang took two steps back, biting the end of his cigarette, and looked up and down Jiang Yu, thoughtfully.The appearance of this child is very different from the dirty and frail one he first saw. Now that his lips are red and his teeth are white, he can tell at a glance that he is a handsome boy with a stable and sensible personality, no wonder he likes the little girl.

"Aren't there many girls in school writing love letters to you?"

Jiang Yu didn't answer this question, but turned and walked forward.

"I will study hard and make up the lessons as soon as possible. I won't fall in love. Don't worry."

Qi Nuliang followed, put his arms on his shoulders, clamping his neck: "What worries me?"

"who knows."

Seeing that the child seemed a little unhappy, Qi Nuliang softened his tone and coaxed: "I'm just asking casually, when did I worry about you? But now your main task is to study, fall in love or something, wait for a long time. There's still time to talk slowly when we grow up..."

"I won't talk if I say so." Jiang Yu put aside his arm, as if he was gasping for breath, he quickened his pace by himself.

Qi Nuliang hurried to catch up: "Why are you angry again?"

After walking for a while, Jiang Yu didn't know why he was angry.But angrily, he looked back at Qi Nuliang as if: "Where did you find that letter?"

"..." Qi Nuliang scratched his head, "...Your teacher Xie talked endlessly on the stage, and I was bored sitting, so I just flipped through it..."

"I didn't turn it over in two classes in the morning. You turned it right away?"

"..."

Qi Nuliang's heart sank, thinking that this is a bad situation.

"It wasn't that the parent-teacher meeting was held for a long time, so I flipped through it twice. The main reason was to see if you got more right or more wrong in your exercise book... I promise you never have any problems with your schoolbag or drawers at home." Turn over."

Seeing Qi Nuliang's swearing appearance, Jiang Yu felt better again, and as usual, he took the initiative to hold his hand.

"You love flipping, I don't have any secrets from you."

"Xiao Qi, Manager Sun asked you to go to his office."

"Hey, okay, I'll go after dinner."

Supermarkets offer boxed meals for breakfast and lunch.It was past noon, and there were very few customers in the fresh meat section, so Qi Nuliang took advantage of this time to eat every day.

The person who called him was Old Wang who killed fish in the aquatic area next door. He just went to ask the manager for leave.Old Wang patted Qi Nuliang on the shoulder: "There is no rush, you eat slowly, the grandson will do his best to make troubles."

Qi Nuliang said "hmm" twice, but he sped up the speed of grilling the rice, and his mood became a little heavy.

There were a lot of people in the morning, and he had another quarrel with an aunt, who must have complained to him as soon as she stepped out of the cashier.Now that the person surnamed Sun called him, he must have given him another reprimand.

After eating, Qi Nuliang bit the bullet and knocked on Manager Sun's door.

Standing in front of the other party's desk, he saw the thinning hair on the top of his head at a glance, which was a sign that it was about to degenerate into the Mediterranean Sea.

The person surnamed Sun raised his eyelids, and instead of scolding him immediately, he waved: "Xiao Qi, sit down first."

Qi Nuliang didn't sit down, and first opened his mouth to judge for himself: "Manager Sun, the aunt who complained this morning insisted that I give her the two ribs in the middle of the divided ribs. If I don't let her, she will have a problem with me."

According to regulations, this kind of meat that has been sold at a special price must be sold as a whole, and it cannot be divided any more. This kind of meat is generally large and cheap.But residents who are used to buying vegetables in the market always think about taking advantage of this advantage, and taking as much advantage as they want.

"I didn't call you here to talk about that." Manager Sun beckoned again, "Sit down first."

Qi Nuliang could only sit down.

"It's almost March since you came to work here?"

Qi Nuliang nodded, one week to three months.The reason why he remembered so clearly was that he counted the days when he was paid.I originally thought that the wages here would be higher and I would save some money.But if the child wants to start tutoring, I don't know if the money can be saved.This is not very important, anyway, if you give Jiang Yu flowers now, you will also give him flowers after you save them, it's the same.

I just don't know what Manager Sun meant by asking so knowingly.

Manager Sun touched a bottle of mineral water from under his desk and handed it to Qi Nuliang.Qi Nuliang stretched out his hand to take it, he had never seen this dwarf being so polite to him, he felt even more strange.

"Xiao Qi, this person has his own good and bad things. I found that you may not be very good at doing our supermarket work..."

When Qi Nuliang heard this, he immediately stood up nervously, and said urgently: "Manager, I'm not bad at it, but I'm not very familiar with it yet."

"It's not something you are familiar with. You have been here for so long like everyone else, and you still put the wrong price tag every day. This is not the key point. The key point is that if you don't get complaints from customers twice a week, you have to have three times. , you can’t do the job.”

What Manager Sun said is true, Qi Nuliang is very embarrassed.Even though I was scolded before, I thought about throwing the apron on the short winter melon's face countless times, saying that he quit.However, when it was time to quit, Jiang Yu had no choice but to argue hard.

"I can do it. Being complained means that the customer always asks me to cut the best for him. I can't give it according to the regulations. If I do, I can't be complained."

"Why hasn't Xiao Chen, who is on the same shift as you, been complained about?"

"That's, that's..."

"Okay, let's do it like this. You don't need to use it after today's work. After get off work in the afternoon, go to finance and pay the previous salary before leaving. Remember to leave your clothes and badge."

Qi Nuliang clenched his hands tightly into fists, biting his molars, his jaws bulged due to the force.

"Anything else?" Manager Sun looked at Qi Nuliang indifferently.

"Manager Sun, you can't just let me go..." Qi Nuliang bit the corner of his mouth, almost pleading, "...I still have a child to raise at home, I can't live without this job."

"Who doesn't have a child to raise? I also have the old and the young. If you are not fired, it will affect the business and reputation of the entire supermarket, and I will be fired."

"Manager Sun..."

"Stop talking. I'll tell the accounting office later and ask them to pay you a full month's salary. Go out, I have something else to do."

In the afternoon, it was the shift time for others, but Qi Nuliang had to take off his clothes in the supermarket, returned his badge and locker keys, and was kicked out.

He pushed the bicycle back slowly, while smoking sadly, resenting Manager Sun who fired him, but even more blaming his incompetent self, why he couldn't even do such a job well.

When he arrived at the gate of Rihua Middle School, as usual, he stood by the flower bed and waited for Jiang Yu to leave school.

Teacher Xie has already started to stay with Jiang Yu to make up English, and he will come out later in the afternoon.It wasn't until there were no students coming in and out of the school gate that he saw his figure, Xie Ying who came out with him today.

Qi Nuliang quickly extinguished the cigarette butt, and put the remaining half of the cigarette back into the cigarette case.

Occasionally, Xie Ying could run into Qi Nuliang who picked up Jiang Yu by the way. Xie Ying was not surprised to see him, and greeted him from a distance: "Brother Jiang Yu, I was just looking for you."

"The teacher who said to find Jiang Yu a tutoring math has already been found. He is a retired teacher from the school. The old couple's children are working in other places, and they feel that they are free. I told the old gentleman, and he agreed."

"Very good, very good, when will the supplementary lessons start?"

"It can start this weekend. I told the old man about Jiang Yu's situation, and he said that he can have four hours a week, with one class in the morning on each of the two weekends."

Qi Nuliang rubbed his hands, always embarrassed when talking about money: "How do you calculate the class fee?"

"The old man doesn't care about the cost so much. He said that he can just pay it. I think 51 hours is more appropriate. Some in-service teachers have 51 hours for small classes, let alone one-on-one." Xie Ying looked at it uncertainly Qi Nuliang, "Brother Jiang Yu, will the fee be too much?"

"Not much, not much, I really trouble you."

"You're welcome."

"I think it's a bit much." Jiang Yu said in a muffled voice beside him.

Qi Nuliang secretly gave him a hand.

"Two hours for a class, two hundred a week, eight hundred a month, it's a bit expensive." Jiang Yu ignored Qi Nuliang's eyes and looked at his head teacher, "Teacher, tell the make-up teacher that it's cheaper. no?"

Qi Nuliang was very embarrassed, but Xie Ying was not unhappy: "It's not appropriate for me to negotiate the price. Why don't you take a few classes and get to know the old man well, and explain your situation to him, maybe he can agree."

After Jiang Yu thought about it, Mr. Xie didn't look like he could bargain. It would be better for him to go alone, so he nodded.

Qi Nuliang smiled bitterly: "This child..."

Xie Ying laughed: "It's good to know how to save money."

"Mr. Xie, do you live far away? Shall we see you off?"

"No, I'll take the bus here, it's getting late, you go home."

Qi Nuliang himself felt embarrassed: "I don't know how to thank you for helping us so much."

"As his class teacher, it's for his study, so don't be so polite."

Qi Nuliang patted Jiang Yu on the head: "Did you hear that, you should study hard."
