Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"Ask about Yi Bufan?"

"How does Teacher Ran know Yi Bufan?"

Sha Zhu was a little confused.

"Oh, she asked about it yesterday, and she said she heard it from you."

"You do not know?"

Yan Bugui was also curious about what Ran Qiuye was going to do.

"How would I know? Yi Bufan, that bastard, is also going to learn Xu Damao's tricks."

Sha Zhu suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

"What are you talking about?"

"Yi Bufan is already married and has a baby, why would he compete with you for it?"

Yan Bugui shook his head.

Now, the news that Xu Damao had snatched Sha Zhu's wife had spread, and it couldn't be suppressed.

"Humph!"

Sha Zhu snorted coldly. He didn't know either, but he felt that Yi Bufan deliberately didn't want him to have an easy time.

"I think it's hard to find a partner with Teacher Ran."

Yan Bugui was also advising Sha Zhu.

"Uncle, please introduce Ran Qiuye to me."

"I invited her to dinner and apologized at the same time."

Sha Zhu thought about it and decided that he should try again.

"It's not very useful. I guess Ran Qiuye doesn't care about these things."

Yan Bugui shook his head. Sha Zhu still felt that Ran Qiuye was too superficial.

"Uncle, if you help me, how about I buy you ten kilograms of flour?"

Sha Zhu has a good grasp of Yan Bugui.

As long as it is profitable, Yan Bugui will not refuse to do it.

"Okay, let me give it a try."

Yan Bugui thought that ten kilograms of white flour could be used to buy several meals of dumplings.

Just when Sha Zhu was anxiously waiting for Yan Bugui and Qin Huairu to make a breakthrough and was also looking for an opportunity to apologize to Ran Qiuye, Xu Damao came back from the countryside.

"Silly Damao, are you disliked by Qin Jingru?"

"Isn't she going to marry you?"

Sha Zhu laughed and shouted loudly.

"Shabi!"

Xu Damao just said two words and went straight to the backyard.

"Hey, you're swearing!"

"I can't kill you!"

Sha Zhu said as he was about to chase after him.

However, when he heard the sound coming from the front yard, he immediately softened.

"Teacher Ran, if I had known you were coming to our courtyard, I would have been waiting for you."

Yan Bugui's voice made Sha Zhu feel relaxed and happy.

These days, Sha Zhu has been looking forward to Ran Qiuye coming to the courtyard again.

"I just came to Jia Geng's house to talk about something."

Ran Qiuye walked into the middle courtyard with a smile, and Yan Bugui followed.

"Teacher Ran, you are here. I just have something to tell you."

Sha Zhu rushed forward immediately.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, what's the matter?"

Ran Qiuye still kept smiling.

"That's right. Why don't we go back to the house and talk while we eat."

Sha Zhu looked around. There were more and more neighbors, and some things were difficult to say.

"If you have anything to say, just talk about it here. I have something else to do later, so I won't be eating."

Ran Qiuye had no intention of following Sha Zhu into the house.

"Then let's go to Sister Qin and have a chat."

Anyway, Shazhu was just too embarrassed to say it in front of everyone.

"Teacher Ran, you are here. Did Bang Geng get into trouble?"

"I said this kid hasn't come back yet."

Just at this time Qin Huairu also came out, so there was no need to go into the house.

"Jia Geng is fine. He just went home with other students to help with his homework. He will be back soon."

"I'm here to tell you about this. It will take about a week."

After Ran Qiuye finished speaking, he looked at Sha Zhu again: "Comrade He Yuzhu, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Ah, so fast?"

"I just want to apologize to you."

"Actually, I only heard about the previous version of 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' from Uncle San. I have never seen it."

"I lied to you about all that before. I'm sorry."

Sha Zhu's face turned red, and he apologized reluctantly.

Naturally, this also attracted laughter from the neighbors.

"Haha, it's okay."

"Some people like reading, and some people don't."

“There’s nothing right or wrong about this.”

"If you like it, I can give you some other books later. If you don't like it, you don't have to read it."

Ran Qiuye smiled, without any change in expression.

"Okay, as long as you're not angry."

"Then can we be together?"

Sha Zhu didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

I don’t know when we will meet next time. I never get such an opportunity when I go to the gate of Red Star Primary School every day.

"Ah, dating?"

"No, Comrade He Yuzhu, I'm not planning on dating anyone right now, so you should find someone else."

Ran Qiuye waved his hands quickly.

"Teacher Ran, He Yuzhu is not bad. If you are considering finding a man to marry, he is a good choice."

Qin Huairu also said something on behalf of Sha Zhu.

She felt that whether it would succeed or not, it would be today.

Maybe today, Sha Zhu will not have another chance.

"This kid has a good job, he doesn't have to worry about food and drink, and his cooking is delicious. If he has free time, he can go out and earn some extra money."

“It’s indeed a good choice.”

Yan Bugui also spoke up for Sha Zhu for his ten kilograms of flour.

"I know that it's hard to find a job like Comrade He Yuzhu's now."

"But I really don't like you!"

"If possible, we can be friends."

Ran Qiuye rejected Sha Zhu very implicitly.

But, it’s also very direct.

dislike.

"Then what kind do you like? I'll change it!"

Sha Zhu hurriedly followed up with another sentence.

"Well, if you really want to talk about what kind of person you like, at least he's a teacher, so we can have something in common."

"Also, we have common interests. For example, we have both read novels like The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which you mentioned, and we can exchange some knowledge about them."

"Of course, there are other famous works and so on..."

Ran Qiuye said this while thinking, anyway, Shazhu won't work.

"I, I can learn."

Sha Zhu said with gritted teeth.

But he was very self-aware and knew that was impossible.

"Are you really going to learn?"

Yi Bufan happened to come back at this time and passed by Sha Zhu.

"Why can't I learn it? I...I won't learn it. I can't understand those books. It's just a long name. What's the meaning of love and affection? And the pursuit of freedom and romance."

"I have to spend a month just to make those thirty or forty dollars. Who has the time and energy to pursue those things?"

"Now I just want to trick Ran Qiuye into my hand. When the matter is settled, I will do whatever I want!"

"I still don't believe it. Can you, Ran Qiuye, divorce me just because I don't read books?"

"What if you're pregnant, can you still walk?"

Sha Zhu's words left all the neighbors dumbfounded.
