Chapter 125 I've Already Got the Rice "Cai Ling... why did you come out of the room? Were you in Fang Wei's room just now?" "Teacher Wen...why are you here too?" Xu Cailing and Wen Susu met unexpectedly, and both were confused, so they looked at Fang Wei. Facing the two people's inquiring gazes, Fang Wei was truly innocent! Please, before you ask me this question, can you please think about why you are here? "...You tell me yourself!" Fang Wei was too lazy to explain. "I'm here to visit Fang Wei's home." Wen Susu explained first, then became curious: "Cai Ling, why did you suddenly appear? I remember that there seemed to be no one in the room just now?" I was caught climbing through the window... The girl's face flushed red and she huddled in the corner, embarrassed, not knowing how to explain for a while.
Seeing Xu Cailing like this, Wen Susu became even more suspicious and said "Hmm?" in a long tone, looking at Cailing and then at Fang Wei. Seeing Teacher Wen's strange expression, Xu Cailing hurriedly explained: "I, I came to Fang Wei to do homework..." God knows! She really didn't know that Teacher Wen was also at Fang Wei's house! She had just come back from drying salted fish outside, took a shower, and quickly climbed through the window with her homework book. If she had known that Teacher Wen was also there, she would definitely not have come, or at least she wouldn't have climbed over the window! "Oh, so it's homework." Wen Susu nodded, then asked in confusion: "No! The question is how did you get here?" "Because, because we live very close..." "...?" Wen Susu was even more confused. How could this be related to living so close to each other? You just appeared out of nowhere in his house! Is this a special ability?! Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Xu Cailing had no choice but to honestly take Teacher Wen to the crime scene and pointed to the open window in Fang Wei's room. "From, from where..." "Climb through the window?!" Wen Susu was even more surprised. I could never have imagined that a little girl who looked so delicate and adorable on weekdays would actually do something as outrageous as climbing through the window. But seeing that Fang Wei looked like he was used to it, he thought that Xu Cailing did this many times on a daily basis. "Cai Ling..." Wen Susu called her name earnestly. "……what?" Xu Cailing's heart skipped a beat.
It is true that if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. I usually climbed through the window without being caught by my parents, but I never thought that one day I would be caught by Teacher Wen... "...You really just came here to do homework with Fang Wei, right?" "Of course!" Seeing the steps coming down, Xu Cailing quickly raised the homework book in her hand: "I came to Fang Wei to do homework, I brought my homework book with me!" Wen Susu took her homework book suspiciously and flipped through it, but finally chose to believe it. After all, they are still young. If they were older, she would never believe that they would climb through the window just to do homework. "Isn't there a big door we can go through?" Wen Susu asked curiously. There is a door but he insists on climbing through the window... What kind of special hobby is this? ! Xu Cailing scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Because it's closer to the window..." She pointed to the window opposite: "That's my room..." Wen Susu knew that Fang Wei and Cai Ling were childhood sweethearts, and that they lived next door to each other. When she came, she guessed that the house next door should be Cai Ling's house, but it was not until this moment that she finally understood to what extent Cai Ling meant by "close". The two windows were only two meters apart, with a low wall in between. No wonder Cai Ling climbed through the window. She suddenly understood what Cai Ling meant by "classmate" last time. "Your windows are facing each other?" "Um..." Wen Susu laughed for no apparent reason. Sure enough, this was the childhood sweetheart she had imagined! Not only did they grow up together, but they also lived close to each other. Even the windows of their rooms were facing each other. The atmosphere was great just thinking about it! It’s a pity that she doesn’t have any childhood sweetheart. She knows that in reality, many childhood sweethearts will drift apart as they grow older. After all, boys and girls develop and mature at different times during adolescence, so estrangement is inevitable, which often ends up being regrettable. Will Fang Wei and Cai Ling, childhood sweethearts, stay together forever? Wen Susu didn’t know, but she hoped that they could stay together forever. It had nothing to do with any ambiguous feelings. Simply having someone to grow up with and being each other’s best friends was already enviable enough. After knowing each other for such a long time, Wen Susu also knew that Fang Wei was different from many boys of the same age. Perhaps he would know how to cherish this rare friendship better. Wen Susu walked to the windowsill curiously and took a look. The window was very low, only about meters from the ground. Even with her height of meters, she could easily climb over it, not to mention the monkey-like boys and girls. "Cai Ling, how do you usually translate?" "..." Xu Cailing's eyes rolled around, and she couldn't figure out for a moment whether Teacher Wen was going to criticize her or was simply curious. Seeing that Wen Susu looked eager to try, Xu Cailing seemed to have found an ally and a common topic. She became bolder and demonstrated it to her on the spot. "in this way……" Xu Cailing was seen supporting herself on the windowsill with her hands, jumping lightly with her legs, and easily jumping onto the windowsill. Then she jumped down and landed on the open space between the window and the wall.
Wen Susu was stunned. "You are so skilled at this, aren't you?! You do this often, right?!" “…No, not really.” Xu Cailing scratched her head shyly and invited, "Teacher Wen, do you want to try to flip over? You can go to my house through the window?" "..." For a moment, Wen Susu was about to agree to give it a try. But when I think about the fact that I am already an adult in my twenties and a teacher, I can only think about this kind of thing and definitely cannot do it. "How could the teacher do such a thing! Come on in here!" "All right……" Xu Cailing pushed herself up with her hands and jumped up, like a female thief, and flipped through the window, standing in Fang Wei's room. Wen Susu: “…” Since they were already in his room anyway, Wen Susu looked around curiously. There is nothing too complicated in the furnishings, but it is quite tidy and clean. On the desk were some of his textbooks and books he had borrowed from Liu Zhiyi. In addition, she also saw the second and third grade textbooks that did not belong to him. "These textbooks were lent to him by my sister." "Cai Ling, you have to learn from Fang Wei." "Oh..." "Let's go, get out." The two came out of Fang Wei's room. Fang Wei did not stay in the living room, but was in the kitchen with a basin preparing to wash rice and cook. "Teacher Wen, please have lunch at our house today," Fang Wei invited. "no, I'm fine!" Wen Susu quickly said politely: "The teacher is just visiting your home, how can I eat at your house? I can just eat something casually." Do you remember that you are here for a home visit? Fang Wei said with a smile: "Teacher Wen, you should eat at our house. It's almost time for dinner. People in the village eat early. We still haven't visited Cailing and Ashengzhiyi's homes yet. If we return to town after visiting their homes, we will be starving. Where can we find food?" "No, no, this is so embarrassing!" "Oh, Teacher Wen, you are still being polite to me. My family usually eats whatever they want. If Teacher Wen doesn't mind, we can eat together. I have already washed the rice!" "Isn't this still..." [Crash——] Fang Wei laughed, poured rice into the basin, and then filled it with water. Wen Susu: “???” Now it’s better, I have to eat it whether I want to or not.
Seeing Cai Ling standing there, Fang Wei naturally did not forget about her: "Cai Ling, do you want to have lunch at my house?" "I don't want to. My family prepares lunch at noon, so I will definitely eat at home." In fact, Cai Ling had seldom eaten at his house since she was a child. After all, the two families lived close to each other, and she always felt embarrassed to not eat at her own home, so she had to go to his house specially to eat. But if the elders are not around, she would be happy to come to Fang Wei's house to eat, because it is the food cooked by Fang Wei, she likes to eat it, and since the elders are not around, she can eat whatever she wants. It's like an advanced version of playing house! Since Teacher Wen came to visit, Xu Cailing couldn't do her homework for the time being. She didn't stay here any longer. She planned to go back and clean the house first so as to leave a good impression on Teacher Wen. "I'll go back first!" "Then the teacher will come to your house later." "it is good……" Xu Cailing ran away quickly. Still going through the window. …… Fang Wei put the washed rice into a rice bowl, added an appropriate amount of water, and after the water in the pot boiled, he put it on the steaming rack to steam. The fire in the stove was not enough, so he added some firewood. The raging flames licked the bottom of the pot, and Fang Wei did these things as skillfully as an adult. There is a tank of gas in the kitchen, but it is rarely used on weekdays. Most of the time, firewood is used more often. The forest coverage rate on Pineapple Island is very high, and the villages on the island are built against the mountains and by the sea. Every winter, each family will go up the mountain to pick up some dead branches or cut down some trees for firewood in their spare time. The population on the island is limited, and these natural resources are inexhaustible as long as they are not used for industry. "So warm..." Wen Susu squatted in front of the stove. Seeing the fire in the stove, she couldn't help but pick up a few branches and throw them in to burn. Fang Wei didn’t know if people from the city had a special love for making fire. Liu Zhiyi was like that, and so was Teacher Wen. "When it's the coldest time of winter, you have to pay attention to whether there is a cat in the stove before lighting a fire," said Fang Wei. "Cat? In the stove?" "Yes, because it's warm inside. Many times July hid in there to sleep, and my mother didn't notice. When she was lighting the fire, a cat suddenly jumped out, and the stupid cat's whiskers were all singed!" "Hahaha……" Wen Susu found what she heard interesting. If she hadn't heard him say that, she wouldn't have known about this matter. There was movement outside the door. Fang Wei patted the dust off his hands, stood up and said, "It should be my mother who is back." When she heard that the parents had returned, Wen Susu suddenly remembered her identity as a teacher. She quickly stood up and walked out with Fang Wei. …… Since her family started mussel farming, Tian Xilan quit her job as a laborer in the town and devoted herself to the management of the farm on weekdays.
After all, the mussels have already germinated, and there is not much management work to do in the farm on a daily basis. She can do it alone by maintaining and inspecting the facilities and cleaning up the algae and anemones attached to them, while Fang Xianfeng continues to go to the dock to collect fish. The advantage of doing your own work is that you have more freedom in time management, and you will be more motivated while doing it. She usually goes to the farm at five or six in the morning, comes back around ten o'clock, makes lunch, takes a nap, and then goes to the farm again at three o'clock in the afternoon. Tian Xilan parked her bicycle in the yard with some meat and vegetables she bought from the market. She saw the smoke coming out of the chimney of her house and knew that Fang Wei had already put the rice in to cook. It was just another new bicycle parked in the yard that caught her attention. Of course it wasn’t their own car, it was probably Fang Wei’s classmate who came. She was just curious, and then she saw Fang Wei leading a young girl out of the house. Tian Xilan was stunned. No, where did you meet such a big girl?! If she is a classmate, she has grown up too fast, right?! Tian Xilan has never met Wen Susu, and Wen Susu has never met Tian Xilan. From the appearance of the woman in front of her, Wen Susu could see some similarities with Fang Wei. Wen Susu smiled warmly and said openly, "Hello, Fang Wei's mother. I am Fang Wei's class teacher Wen Susu. I am here for a home visit today." "Mom, this is our teacher Wen, the one I told you about before." Fang Wei also introduced. Only then did Tian Xilan react. The main thing was that she didn't expect Teacher Wen to be so young! This college student look was completely different from her stereotype of teachers, so she didn't expect that she was the class teacher of this brat! "It's Teacher Wen!" Tian Xilan also had a surprised smile on her face. As a parent, she had great respect for teachers. Tian Xilan was totally unprepared when she unexpectedly met her teacher at home! "Teacher Wen is so thoughtful! He even came all the way to our place...but this brat didn't even tell me in advance!" Seeing his mother's eyes, Fang Wei also felt a little innocent. He didn't expect Wen Susu to suddenly come to his house today! Fortunately, Wen Susu helped explain: "Mother Fang Wei, don't blame Fang Wei. It was me who came here without saying hello and disturbed you." "What are you doing? We are so happy that Teacher Wen can come to visit us!" Tian Xilan put down the vegetables she had bought earlier and started to stand on the bicycle kickstand again: "Teacher Wen, you go back to the house and rest for a while. I'll go to the market to buy some more vegetables and we'll have a simple meal at our house at noon!" "Fang Wei, mother, don't need to..." Before Wen Susu could finish her words, Tian Xilan had already pushed her bicycle out the door. "Awei! Treat the teacher well!" "understood." Wen Susu: “…” Well, it seems that I have to eat lunch today... It's corrupt!
