Chapter 425 Mr. Qu
Chapter 425 Mr. Qu
[No, appropriate white lies are still necessary...]
Thinking this way, I felt a lot more balanced.
After dinner, he said goodbye to Fu Ma and left Lu's house.
When I drove to the job market, I found that it was no longer what it used to be. There were many kinds of people looking for jobs here.
Originally she just wanted to try her luck, but she never thought that she would actually meet one. He was an old man who looked very funny. He was sitting on a homemade bench reading a book. Fu Ling was attracted to him at the first sight, except... the slightly protruding part on the top of his head was very conspicuous.
The other person's sign stated his resume. He used to be a middle school teacher and was already retired. However, he had been teaching for a lifetime and now stayed at home all day. He felt uncomfortable all over, so he thought about going out and trying to see if he could find a teaching job. After all, wealthy families like to hire tutors to teach their children at home, and this is also a very common thing.
Stopping beside the old man, she politely greeted him, "Hello, old man!"
The old man raised his head and was slightly startled when he saw Fu Ling. It was the first time he had seen such a beautiful girl.
"Little girl, is something wrong?"
"Look, your sign says you're looking for a teaching job, right?" Fu Ling got straight to the point.
The old man put down the book in his hand and nodded slightly: "Yes!"
"Old sir, the truth is, I have three children at home, and I'd like to hire you to teach them."
"Excuse me, how old is the child?" The old man's eyes lit up. He had been squatting there for almost a week, but no one came forward to ask about it. He was just about to give up, but his hard work paid off and he finally got what he was waiting for.
"Xu is three years old. I wonder if the old man is willing..."
Before Fu Ling could finish, he stood up and rubbed his hands excitedly: "I'm willing! I'm very willing. Haha, I've been teaching for a lifetime. Don't worry, with me here, the children's basic skills will definitely be solid."
Fu Ling's most important thing is to have a good impression. When he first saw the old man, he felt that he had a very unique temperament...
Ahem! Back to the point?(????w???)?: "Old man, what's your name?"
The old man straightened the wrinkles of his clothes, ruffled his already sparse hair and replied, "My last name is Qu. My students like to call me Mr. Qu."
"So it's Mr. Qu. Nice to meet you! My name is Fu Ling. You can laugh at me as Xiao Fu. I live at No. 68 Chaoyang Road. If you live far away, you can choose to stay at my house. If it's inconvenient, you can choose to go back. I will ask my housekeeper to take you back when the time comes. What do you think?"
"Chaoyang Road, that's a bit far from my home. To be honest, I have an old wife at home. I still have to go home after teaching. I don't feel safe leaving her alone at home at night."
"Are you the only two at home? Where are your children? Don't they live with you?" Fu Ling asked out of curiosity.
"...Alas! My wife suffered a dystocia when she was young. Although the child survived, he was in poor health and left us when he was less than two years old. Over the years, we have been the only two of us left." Mr. Qu sighed and told Fu Ling the reason.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know your family was in this situation."
"Don't blame those who don't know. It doesn't matter. It's been decades, and I've already become indifferent to it."
"I already understand the situation at your home. Let me take you home first. The car is just in front." Fu Ling pointed in a direction and said.
"Okay, okay! Sorry for the trouble." He put the books into a cloth bag with a long strap sewn on it. Mr. Qu slung the strap over his back, picked up the bench in his hand and left with Fu Ling.
When he saw the car, Mr. Qu was slightly stunned, but soon returned to normal. He always compared money to material possessions outside of one's body, as long as it was enough to spend, he would be fine. He did not have any big ambitions, and he dedicated his whole life to education.
The car quickly left the talent market and drove for nearly an hour according to the location provided by Mr. Qu.
"Please park here. The alley is a bit narrow, so don't go in. Don't accidentally scratch your car. Just get off here."
"Hey, good!"
After getting off the car, he invited Fu Ling: "We're already at the doorstep, Xiao Fu, come in and have a cup of tea before leaving."
"Okay! Just to get familiar with the place." Fu Ling didn't refuse. He got out of the cab and walked towards the trunk: "Mr. Qu, wait a moment. I'll get something."
Coming to the trunk, she pretended to take something out of it and selected a few gift boxes from the space and held them in her hands.
Mr. Qu hurriedly stopped him: "Xiao Fu! Put it back immediately. We haven't started the class yet. I feel ashamed of you doing this."
"Mr. Qu, this is not for you. It's some supplements for Auntie. Besides, my three children will depend on you in the future, so we have to get along well with each other~ hehe." Fu Ling said playfully.
This warmed Mr. Qu's heart. From the time they met until now, the girl in front of him was not only beautiful, but also had a noble status. However, she was not arrogant at all and was humble and polite to him.
"Let's go! I'd like to have a cup of tea." Fu Ling urged with a smile.
"You kid! Go away, don't do this again in the future. You don't need to bring any gifts when you come home."
"understood!"
Mr. Qu's wife is a very gentle old woman with a hint of sadness between her brows. The death of her child has always been like a thorn in her throat, and she has not yet come out of the grief.
Normally when Mr. Qu is at home, she acts as if nothing has happened, but when she is alone at home she starts to have wild thoughts.
"Huifen! I'm back." I heard his voice before I saw him, and Mr. Qu's voice was obviously full of joy.
Grandma Huifen put away her sad face, smiled and went out to greet him: "You're back! What happened today..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a beautiful girl following behind Mr. Qu. Her eyes were full of confusion. She wanted to say that she was a student, but she had never heard her husband mention it before.
"Huifen! Let me introduce you. This is Xiao Fu. She hired me to teach her children." Mr. Qu had a smile on his face since he entered the room.
Grandma Huifen was also happy for him: "Really? That's great! Xiaofu, come in and sit down. I'll pour you a cup of tea."
"Auntie, please don't be in a hurry. I have something else to do today and I have to leave soon. Here are some things I brought for you."
"This... Xiaofu! You're too polite!" Grandma Huifen was at a loss. Mr. Qu never accepted gifts. She stood there, not knowing whether to accept or not. She didn't know what to do! She could only look at Mr. Qu for help.
"Please accept it... This is a little gift from Xiao Fu." Mr. Qu said with a grin.
"Thank you, Xiao Fu. I'll take it!" Grandma Huifen took the item and said, "Sit for a while before you go! No matter how busy you are, it won't hurt to wait a little longer."
Pulling Fu Ling, she walked towards the main room. There was no sofa in the room, so she led her to the dining table: "Xiao Fu, please sit down. Auntie will make you a cup of tea."
"Auntie, no need, I'm not thirsty."
"Haha, it's rare for guests to come to my house, I'm happy. You sit for a while, it will be ready soon." Then he went to get the kettle.
