Chapter 678 Zhong Yi shed tears of sadness!

After the family had tidied up, they sat in the living room and watched TV while waiting. Nan Li also specially washed some fruits.

Then he suddenly thought of something and turned to his daughter beside him and said, "Huanhuan, go and take out the homework book. Then the teacher will take a look to see if there are any problems!"

"Oh~" the little girl pouted and went to the room to get her homework.

After I came back, I was hesitant to speak. I wanted to say something but I didn't dare to speak. I could only watch TV absentmindedly.

She felt like she was having a restless day. She had fun playing in the morning and had a seafood dinner, but in the afternoon a teacher came to visit her home, and she was a rather scared math teacher.

And the most important thing is that Teacher Zhong not only came by himself, but also brought a tutor, even though he already knew about this before.

But now that the tutor has really arrived, the little girl still feels that the future is so gloomy and the good days are gone forever.

Here Xia Junshan noticed his daughter's loveless expression, smiled slightly and touched her little head, but didn't say anything more.

He is not the kind of unenlightened parent, but some things can be discussed, and learning cannot be entirely left to the child's temperament.

Now there is no room for my daughter Huanhuan's academic performance to decline. If she continues to be pampered like this, it will be too late to take care of her after she enters junior high school.

"Dad~" The little girl showed a pitiful expression to her father. Although she didn't say it clearly, the meaning was clearly expressed.

Xia Junshan smiled and shook his head, indicating that there was no need to discuss the matter.

Now Huanhuan had no choice but to sit there and sulk, even ignoring her younger brother Chaochao's request to play with her.

"Ding dong, ding dong!"

"I'll open the door!" Chaochao said and ran over happily. He thought it was grandma who was here.

As a result, when I opened the door and saw two unknown people, my safety awareness became overwhelming and I turned around and ran back.

While running, he shouted: "Dad, Mom, there are strangers outside~"

"Chaochao, don't you recognize me?"

It was Zhong Yi who spoke outside the door, and there was a girl in simple clothes standing next to her. She was the tutor who had come to apply for the job.

At this time, Xia Junshan and Nan Li also walked over, and Huanhuan naturally followed.

"Hi Teacher Zhong!"

"Junior brother, come in quickly, there are slippers over there!"

"Chaochao, this is Uncle Zhong. I've seen my sister since the beginning of school. Why don't you recognize me now?"

After hearing his father's reminder, Chaochao was a little scared when he saw a stranger, but he finally remembered who this person was.

He said hello very politely: "Hello, Uncle Zhong~"

“So super, so good~”

Xia Junshan and his wife warmly welcomed them in. After sitting on the sofa, Zhong Yi introduced them to both parties.

"Brother, sister-in-law, this is my junior sister Liu Xueyan, here to help us Huanhuan with our homework!"

"School girl, these two are the parents of classmate Xia Huanhuan. Of course, the little girl next to me needs no further explanation~"

After listening to this, Xia Junshan, who was sitting on the sofa, subconsciously raised his head and observed. This teacher Liu was ordinary in appearance and looked young. He probably had poor family conditions.

Because the clothes he was wearing were not of any big brand, but they were washed relatively clean, so the first impression was good. "Hello, Huanhuan's father and mother. Senior Zhong Yi introduced Huanhuan to me when he came here. I am very confident that I can help my child with his homework well!"

Liu Xueyan doesn't have much stage fright, because even though she hasn't graduated yet, she already has a lot of work experience.

From the time I was in college until now I am a graduate student, due to family conditions, I have been doing work-study studies for the past five or six years. The most I have been is a tutor, and I have also worked in tutoring classes during winter and summer vacations.

Nan Li has been working in the workplace for so many years and is still very good at interviews. Just when she was about to ask something, she saw Zhong Yi sitting next to her, so she swallowed her words and turned to give her husband a look.

Xia Junshan immediately understood and said directly with a smile: "Junior brother, let's go to the study to drink tea. I have the best Tieguanyin there. You are in luck this time!"

"Uh... Okay, then I have to give it a try~" Zhong Yi was stunned for a second, and then he immediately came to his senses.

After arriving in the study, the two of them relaxed a lot, and Xia Junshan made a pot of tea.

"Junior brother, sit down wherever you want!"

After Zhong Yi sat down and looked around, he also joked: "Brother, you can be said to be a winner in life now. My sister-in-law is beautiful and virtuous, and Huan Huan and Chao Chao are smart and cute, and this one." big house!"

"With my salary, if I want to buy a house like yours, even if I have to pay the down payment, I will probably have to go without food for at least ten years~" This sentence is somewhat self-deprecating.

Actually speaking, Zhong Yi earns quite a lot every year. The basic salary from school plus bonuses, as well as the extra money from his regular tutoring classes outside school, add up to 40 to [-] yuan.

But regardless of how much you earn, your daily expenses are also high. After all, "living in a magical city is not easy." Although it is frugal, after deducting rent and other expenses, it is good to have two-thirds left every year. .

After all, I have a girlfriend. Even if Zhang Xueer is not the kind of money-worshiping girl, she usually has to go to the movies and go on a date or something. This is where money is spent.

Xia Junshan didn't know what to say. After all, although the profession of a teacher is respectable, it does not earn much. If the locals have houses and cars, then it doesn't matter. It is enough for a family to live.

But for outsiders, if they want to settle down in a first-tier big city with this kind of money, it is just a fantasy, and the housing prices in the magic city are a big hurdle.

Thinking of this, he changed the subject and said, "Junior brother, let's not talk about this anymore. How are you and Teacher Zhang doing? We have been together for four or five years now. Do you have any plans to get married?"

"Alas~" Zhong Yi sighed directly: "I don't even have a house now, how can I have the right to think about these things now!"

After hearing this, Xia Junshan was a little confused and couldn't help but ask: "The money you have saved over the years is probably enough to pay the down payment for a smaller one. And I don't think Teacher Zhang is the kind of person who cares about material things!"

"Xue'er doesn't care, but uncle and aunt...forget it, let's not mention it!" Zhong Yi was about to complain when he was excited, but in the end he turned into a long sigh.

He never showed his emotions in front of others, even his girlfriend Zhang Xueer, and he would only reveal his heart slightly in front of his senior brother who came from the same place.

For some reason, Xia Junshan actually saw that sense of powerlessness in Zhong Yi. Maybe he (original body) was just luckier than him in marrying Nan Li, otherwise he might not be much better off.
So after thinking for a moment, he patted his shoulder with some empathy.

He said earnestly: "Junior brother, if you really want to buy a house then, if you are short of money, just tell your senior brother."

"Although I haven't saved much over the years, it's not a problem to get hundreds of thousands. People from a small place like us want to establish ourselves in a big city like Magic City!"

"The effort required is several times more than that of the locals, even ten times or dozens of times!"

"Brother, I..." Zhong Yi's voice trembled a little as he spoke, and he turned his head before he finished speaking.

Because the sad tears had flowed down unconsciously, these words spoke to his heart. What had he been working so hard for all these years?
After working every day, I have to go to extra classes. Who doesn’t want to stay at home comfortably, not to save more money so that I can buy a house of my own early?

But she has never been recognized by her girlfriend Zhang Xueer, and her parents...

To be continued!

(PS: I personally feel that Teacher Zhong is just an ordinary person who wants to survive in a big city!)
