Reborn in a small mountain village in 1991

Chapter 50 So you really want me to get married?

Xu Chunsheng soon realized that he had just been stressed because of his sister's tragic marriage in his previous life.

But! After Tang Changping collapsed, his ears turned red: "How, how did you guess that?"

"Guess what?"

"It's nothing, but isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"I ate at your house last time, and I'm going again this time."

Before Tang Changping could finish speaking, Xu Chunsheng had already taken the things from Tang Changping's hands and beckoned him to leave:

"No problem, Teacher Tang, have you bought your things yet? I'll help you carry them. There's no time like the present, let's have dinner at my house today."

Then, Xu Chunsheng took Xu Yaomei's hand.

Neither of the siblings paid any attention to Qian Junwei, who was standing there, and instead invited Tang Changping to walk towards the farmers' market.

And so, Tang Changping was lured away by Xu Chunsheng in a daze, and even did some "hard work" for Xu Chunsheng, carrying more than ten kilograms of meat for him. On the way, he said, "I have to buy something for your family."

"What to buy, and under what pretext?"

Xu Chunsheng's question stumped Tang Changping.

"Alright, Teacher Tang, consider today's visit as a home visit for our youngest daughter."

Xu Chunsheng smoothed things over himself.

Tang Changping didn't know what to say, so he could only let Xu Chunsheng do as he pleased.

As they walked along the road, the youngest sister finally couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Tang, what is a home visit?"

Tang Changping looked at Xu Yaomei and replied, "It's just that the teacher is going to your home to see your family situation and whether there are any difficulties in your life that are affecting your studies."

"Teacher Tang, after you come to my house, will you go to other students' houses? Will you go to Xiaowei's house?"

"Yes, we're going. We're going to all the classmates' houses."

Upon hearing Tang Changping's answer, Yaomei turned to Xu Chunsheng and said, "Brother, I also want to go to Xiaowei's house to play."

……

"Squeak—click"

As soon as Xu Chunsheng stopped the tricycle, Xu Yaomei jumped off and ran into the house.

"Dad, Mom, Sister, Little Sister is back! Little Sister brought you some yummy food..."

"And Teacher Tang is here too..."

Xu Chunsheng helped Tang Changping down from the truck bed, and then unloaded the things they had bought in town.

Xu's mother came out of the main room and greeted Tang Changping warmly:

"Teacher Tang, you're a rare guest! Please come in and have a seat."

"Yes, ma'am."

Tang Changping agreed verbally and reached out to help Xu Chunsheng carry the rice into the house. At the same time, he couldn't help but look around the house to see where his older sister was.

The eldest sister, glaring at Xu Chunsheng, walked up to him and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to!"

"So, sister, what's my plan?"

Xu Chunsheng asked with a smile.

The older sister rolled her eyes at her: "You really want me to get married that badly?"

"You've misunderstood. Teacher Tang is here for a home visit because of Xu Yaomei."

Without blushing or skipping a beat, Xu Chunsheng looked at Tang Changping and said, "Teacher Tang, you're here for a home visit, right?"

"Yes!"

Teacher Tang smiled and nodded, adjusted her glasses, and sat down at Xu's mother's invitation.

The eldest sister ignored Xu Chunsheng and simply poured a cup of tea for Tang Changping.

"Teacher Tang, have some tea and take a break."

"Thanks!"

Tang Changping smiled and agreed, lowering his head slightly, his face turning as red as if it were being roasted by fire.

Seeing that Tang Changping seemed a little awkward and embarrassed, Xu Chunsheng came over and whispered an explanation to him:

"Teacher Tang, there's something I need to apologize for. I suddenly mentioned my sister to you today and said I wanted to invite you to dinner. It's mainly because there's someone my sister dislikes who keeps bothering her, so I just made up a couple of things, which might have caused you some misunderstanding."

"No, it's okay, I understand."

Tang Changping smiled and glanced at Xu Chunsheng, inwardly marveling at how much Xu Chunsheng truly cared about his sister.

"Isn't Teacher Tang going to make a home visit? Since you're already here, just ask my sister. My younger sister and my older sister are the best of friends."

Xu Chunsheng then spoke loudly.

The older sister turned and glanced at Xu Chunsheng, her eyes seeming to say something very clear:

Isn't your youngest sister the most clingy? Aren't you the one who dotes on your youngest sister the most?

The eldest sister didn't hesitate; she sat up straight and asked solemnly:

"Teacher Tang, what would you like to know?"

"Xu Chunle is a very obedient student at school and gets along well with her classmates. She's a good student. Will she help with farm work when she comes back?"

Tang Changping pursed his lips and asked.

"They'll help feed the pigs, sweep the floor..."

As they chatted, the older woman relaxed and reached out to pick beans from the winnowing basket. It seemed the home visit wasn't as serious as she had imagined; it was more like a casual chat.

On the contrary, Tang Changping became nervous as he spoke, and his hands unconsciously began to pick out the rotten beans from the winnowing basket.

"You need to supervise Xu Chunle's homework more closely, and make sure she goes straight home after school and doesn't go anywhere else to play. There are many child abductors these days, it's not safe."

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Teacher Tang."

Seeing that the two had started chatting, Xu Chunsheng turned around to find Yaomei. Although Yaomei was the main character today, it was reasonable for the child to "hide" because she was afraid of the teacher's home visit, right?

……

After the meal, Tang Changping took out two notebooks and two pencils from the things he had bought that day and handed them to Xu Yaomei:

"Xu Chunle, this is a reward for your good performance at school. You did a great job on your math homework. If you could take your Chinese homework as seriously as you do your math homework, I believe you will definitely be able to get into junior high school."

Xu Yaomei took the things and nodded shyly:

"Hehe, thank you, Teacher Tang. I will definitely study hard and make progress every day."

After speaking, she saluted Tang Changping, who patted her head gently and said:

"Your teacher believes in you."

When Xu Chunsheng was dropping the person off at the intersection, Tang Changping called out to him:

"Chunsheng, your Ophiopogon japonicus sold very well a while ago, and I didn't even have a chance to congratulate you. I'm here to bother you again, and I'm in a bit of a rush so I didn't bring any gifts."

"I'm giving you this pen to congratulate you on making your family's life much better, and I hope that your future will be bright and smooth."

Tang Changping took off the fountain pen that he always wore on his chest: it was mainly black with some blue accents.

Xu Chunsheng was somewhat surprised.

But he still accepted the pen, which looked quite nice, and smiled.

"Then let's take Teacher Tang's good wishes and hope everyone has a smooth and peaceful life."

Tang Changping smiled slightly.

Xu Yaomei then came over, looking surprised: "Wow, this pen is so beautiful."

The eldest sister pulled her youngest sister aside and glared at Xu Chunsheng again.

Xu Chunsheng pretended not to see it.

After finishing his meal, Tang Changping prepared to leave the Xu family.

"While it's still early, I'll go visit Xiaowei and a few other students who live further away."

After everyone left, the eldest sister took advantage of the fact that Xu Chunsheng was alone and said to him:

"Look what you've done! You made them pay for a pen for nothing!"

"He did it willingly; I didn't force him to."

"Sis, seriously, what do you think of Teacher Tang? If you don't like him, you can just give the pen back to him!"
