A few days later, the school sent the results of the final exam to each student.

Chu Yan got the No.1 in class and No.2 in grade this time.

Although it was a pity that he did not get the first place in the grade, Chu Yan was also very satisfied with the result.

Wang Mei was both surprised and delighted by his achievement, so she specially made a big table of delicious food to reward him.

The class group was also lively for a while because of the test results.

It's just that Huo Qiao never came out to speak.

After thinking about it, Chu Yan still sent a message to ask Huo Qiao how he did in the exam.

It took a long time for Huo Qiao to reply. It was the grade slip sent to everyone by the school, and Huo Qiao forwarded it directly.

Seeing that Huo Qiao's grades above had officially entered the top [-] in the grade, Chu Yan couldn't help being really happy for Huo Qiao.

He praised Huo Qiao: "It's amazing."

After a while, Huo Qiao replied: "It's okay."

Chu Yan thought, Huo Qiao seems to be very busy recently.

There is a long time difference between them, and they can't get together at ordinary times, and even communication has become difficult.

Xiao Chengcheng also became busy.

The time difference between Xiao Chengcheng and Chu Yan is not as long as that of Huo Qiao, and they can still make an appointment to play games together at night.

But within a few days, Xiao Chengcheng was thrown by his parents to the language school to preview in advance, which greatly reduced Xiao Chengcheng's free time. He only had time to chat with Chu Yan after school.

To Chu Yan's surprise, he received a new friend request after the results were announced.

It's Luo Shujie from the class.

After Chu Yan added him, he realized that Luo Shujie had been ranked second in class and third in grade this time.

"Seeing that I was the second in the class, I guessed if the number one was you." Luo Shujie said.

He asked Chu Yan's score, and Chu Yan told him.

It was only then that Chu Yan learned from Luo Shujie that the scores of the two of them were very tight, and the difference between them and Ling Song's score in the first grade was not too great.

"Don't relax during the summer vacation," Luo Shujie said. It was the first time he failed to get the first place in the class, and he was full of fighting spirit. "After school starts, maybe even Duan Lingsong won't be my opponent."

"Okay," Chu Yan smiled, "Then let's work hard together."

Luo Shujie was the first person he knew who devoted all his attention to his studies, which made Chu Yan feel that he was very pure.

The two would discuss some topics from time to time, and both benefited a lot from each other.

……

After the test results came out, Chu Yan officially started working on summer jobs.

He originally planned to be a tutor, so he planned to print some leaflets and post them or distribute them to passers-by.

Before printing the leaflets, Chu Yan decided to go to the surrounding areas of primary and secondary schools to explore the market conditions, but unexpectedly found that a teaching auxiliary institution was recruiting tutors and accepting summer part-time students.

After thinking about it, he went to the Internet cafe to prepare a resume for himself, and wrote down some of his strengths and academic achievements.

After getting ready, Chu Yan cheered himself up and went to the interview.

Thanks to the excellent reputation of the No. [-] Middle School, the person in charge of the teaching auxiliary organization saw that Chu Yan's grades were very good, so he gave him a chance to try to teach a class.

Because during this period of time, I often discussed topics with Luo Shujie, and I also talked to Huo Qiao and Xiao Chengcheng before, so Chu Yan accumulated some experience.

Lesson preparation time is only 10 minutes, and Chu Yan quickly went through the teaching plan requirements sent to him in his mind.

When the time was up, Chu Yan stepped onto the podium and began to speak clearly according to his own ideas.

He is wearing a white T-shirt and black trousers today, and he looks clean and bright.

The appearance of giving lectures on the podium without rushing or slowing down is very attractive. He splits out complex problems and explains each step in a concise and easy-to-understand manner, making it easy for people to follow his train of thought.

The interviewers couldn't help but nodded, and gave Chu Yan a high score in their hearts.

……

Two days later, Chu Yan was very happy when he received the news that he had passed the interview.

He arrived at the teaching auxiliary institution according to the time notified, and was arranged by the supervisor to teach mathematics classes for the first and second grades of junior high school. He worked from nine to five to eight hours a day, provided staff meals for two hours during lunch break, and arranged one day off a week.

So Chu Yan started his summer part-time job by cycling from Xiaoyao Street to the teaching auxiliary institution every day.

When Chu Yan went for the interview, Wang Mei and Qu Xiangmin finally chose the location of the shop after a lot of time running around.

That place is two bus stops away from Xiaoyu Street, not too far away. It is a pavement facing the street in a residential area. There are schools and hospitals nearby, so the location is not bad.

There are many small restaurants on this street. The store Wang Mei and the others chose was originally a noodle restaurant, and the decoration of the store can still be used, so they plan to simply renovate it.

Finally, at the end of the first week of August, Wang Mei and Qu Xiangmin's Chuan Chuan hot pot restaurant officially opened.

The storefront is not too big, there is a long table vertically in the middle, separated by a thick partition, on the left and right sides are small hot pots for one person, so one person can come and eat.

There are two large fresh-keeping refrigerators on the left side of the store. Inside are skewers that have been skewered with sticks, and you can pick them up if you want.On the right side of the store is the self-service seasoning area.

In the empty space behind the long table, there are four tables left over from the previous noodle restaurant. The pot here is relatively large and can serve four people.

Further inside is the back kitchen. There are several kinds of hot pot base ingredients in the store, all of which are fried by Uncle Qu himself. They are very fragrant.

Because the price is affordable, it is convenient to eat, and the taste is good, the business of the two's store has been pretty good since it opened.

When it is lively at night, even the long tables are full of customers.

Wang Mei and Qu Xiangmin didn't hire staff, the shop was small, and many things could be taken by customers, so the two of them could keep busy.

Since the official opening of the small hot pot restaurant, Chu Yan’s usual two-point and one-line route for Xiaocrab Street and teaching auxiliary institutions has become three-point and one-line.

After get off work, he will ride to the store first, and Uncle Qu will prepare dinner for the three of them.

His cooking skills are very good, and the stir-fried dishes are all delicious, and Chu Yan is very satisfied.

After that, Chu Yan would help in the store for an hour before going home. When the store was not busy, Uncle Qu and Wang Mei would let him go home after eating, and they didn't want him to be tired.

But Chu Yan doesn't feel tired. Sometimes the store is very busy, so he will spend more time, and then go home to study and prepare lessons when he is not so busy.

Under such a life, Chu Yan also became very busy.

He gets up at [-] o'clock every morning, goes for a morning run and comes back to eat, then studies or prepares lessons, leaves for work at [-] o'clock, and returns home at night to continue studying, sometimes discussing topics with Luo Shujie, and occasionally playing a few games with Xiao Chengcheng who is rarely relaxed .

As for Huo Qiao...

Sometimes Chu Yan would open the chat interface between him and Huo Qiao, staring at the chat record of the last time he asked Huo Qiao how he did in the exam.

He thought, obviously they haven't been separated for a long time, but it's like they haven't seen each other for a long time.

-

On this day, because Chu Yan wanted to correct all the quiz papers, he decided to work overtime after class for a while. When the lady at the front desk found out, she asked him to lock the door when he left. She was in a hurry to go to a date today.

Chu Yan agreed.

After he finished correcting the papers, there was still a teacher who did not leave, so Chu Yan waited and prepared all the lessons for tomorrow by the way.

When there was no one in the institution, he carefully checked all the facilities, closed the ones that should be closed, and locked the door to prepare to leave.

Chu Yan's bicycle was placed behind the institution building, and he went around to pick it up, and when he pushed the bicycle out, he glanced at the institution's gate.

This look just happened to see a little girl the size of a bean sitting on the steps in front of the gate, wiping tears and crying loudly.

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, and felt that the little girl looked familiar. She should be a child in the elementary school class of the institution, so he hurriedly rode over there.

"Hey, why are you crying here?" Chu Yan knelt down and asked her.

The little girl was startled when she heard the sound.

She raised her teary eyes and blinked, and the big teardrops rolled down.

"Don't cry, don't cry," Chu Yan said quickly, "Don't be afraid, I am a teacher in the institution, and I lead the junior high school class. My name is Chu Yan." He smiled, "Are you a classmate in the elementary class?"

The little girl sucked her nose hard, "Uh, I... I am, yes."

She wiped her eyes, cried and said, "Woooooo, I know, I know you. You are... Xiao, Teacher Xiao Chu."

"Huh?" Chu Yan was surprised that the little girl knew him. He was the youngest teacher in the institution. Other teachers or parents would call him Xiao Chu, and children sometimes called him Teacher Xiao Chu.

Seeing that the little girl recognized him, Chu Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He comforted the little girl: "Then don't be afraid, tell me what happened, okay?" He chatted with her: "What's your name?"

The little girl relaxed a bit, and she said sobbingly, "My, my name is Song Xiaoshi. My father is gone, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.. "

Chu Yan frowned. It was stipulated in the institution that the primary school students had to be accompanied by the teacher and wait until their parents came to pick them up before leaving get off work.

The teacher Xiao Yu that Song Xiaoshi said he has met a few times, she is a very responsible female teacher, she should not let the students leave alone.

He thought for a while and asked, "Did Xiaoshi's father come to pick up Xiaoshi? Where did dad disappear?"

Song Xiaoshi cried again, and she wiped away her tears and said, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I, Just, There's A Road In Front, There's A Road, Lots Of People. woo woo woo woo……"

Chu Yan probably understood what was going on. There was a big shopping mall in front of the institution, and there was a lot of traffic there. Song Xiaoshi probably got separated from her father by accident, so she ran back alone to find a teacher, but because the institution was closed , Panicked and scared, I had to sit alone on the steps and cry.

He unpacked a pack of tissues and wiped away Song Xiaoshi's tears, "Xiaoshi won't cry anymore, she's fine."

He asked Song Xiaoshi: "Do you still remember your father's phone number?"

Song Xiaoshi thought for a while, then cried anxiously and said, "I, I can't recite it."

"Don't panic, don't panic," Chu Yan comforted her, "In this way, I will call Teacher Xiaoyu first to ask your father's phone number, and then we will call him, okay? Your father must be very anxious too."

Chu Yan didn't have Teacher Xiaoyu's phone number, so he contacted his colleagues first, and after several twists and turns, he found Teacher Xiaoyu and asked for the phone number of Song Xiaoshi's parents.

Teacher Xiaoyu was also very worried when he knew about this, and kept thanking Chu Yan, which made Chu Yan feel ashamed.

Chu Yan called Song Xiaoshi's father, who answered in a loud voice, obviously very anxious.

After Chu Yan said that Song Xiaoshi was at the institution, Song Xiaoshi's father scolded him why he didn't expect to come back and look for him, and immediately said that he would come over soon.

Seeing that she contacted her father, Song Xiaoshi stopped crying and obediently wiped her crying face dry with a tissue.

Chu Yan waited with Song Xiaoshi for about 10 minutes, when a man ran over panting.

Before he got close, he shouted: "Song Xiaoshi!"

Song Xiaoshi stood up all of a sudden, called "Dad!" and ran towards him.

"Hey, be careful." Chu Yan only had time to say.

Song Xiaoshi's father took Song Xiaoshi into his arms and quickly apologized: "Dad is wrong! I shouldn't have lost you, I scared my father to death."

Song Xiaoshi pouted, "Father is an idiot!"

"Hey, hey, dad is an idiot!"

Song Xiaoshi's father agreed, and led Song Xiaoshi to thank Chu Yan.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, teacher," Song Xiaoshi's father said, "It's all because I was busy making phone calls, and when I turned around, Xiaoshi disappeared. I searched all over the place in the shopping mall, and I was so anxious."

Chu Yan smiled: "You're welcome, I still have to take care of my children in the future, especially in crowded places."

He looked at Song Xiaoshi, "You'd better ask Xiaoshi to write down the contact information of your parents."

Song Xiaoshi's father nodded repeatedly, while Song Xiaoshi shyly buried her head behind her father's back.

After this matter was resolved, Chu Yan was also greatly relieved.

He first rode his bicycle to Wang Mei's shop. The business was not busy today, so after eating, he was driven home by the two of them.

When he got home, Chu Yan took a shower first, and he changed into short-sleeved shorts. During the summer vacation, the house was very hot. Chu Yan turned on the electric fan and blown on it for a while, and his wet hair was blown into a mess.

He took out a towel to dry his hair, but his phone rang suddenly.

Chu Yan was a little puzzled. He reached out to pick up the phone, and when he saw the content displayed on it, his heart suddenly missed a beat.

It was a video call from Huo Qiao.

It was already mid-August at this time, and after doing the math, he and Huo Qiao hadn't seen each other for more than 20 days, and the last contact was also a long time ago.

Chu Yan felt that Huo Qiao must be very busy, and he was too embarrassed to bother him despite the long jet lag.

The moment Chu Yan suddenly received a call from Huo Qiao, Chu Yan's first reaction was surprise, and then he was overjoyed.

But he didn't expect that it was not Huo Qiao's face that greeted him after connecting the video, but a beautiful Yingmu with long hair.

Then Huo Qiao's voice came in, "Lucy, be obedient."

A question mark appeared above Chu Yan's head, he thought, could it be that the dog accidentally dialed his video?
