Chapter 840: Grassland Picnic
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhou Hua had been dismissed, and the position of the head teacher for Class B2 of the first grade could not remain vacant for too long.
After deliberation, the school leaders decided to appoint Yang Zhen, the Chinese language teacher, as the acting head teacher.
Upon hearing this news, Yang Zhen hesitated, “Leaders, if it’s about teaching, I certainly won’t refuse. But I’ve never been a head teacher before. Could you consider other teachers first?”
The school leaders looked at Yang Zhen, persuading her, “Teacher Yang, why don’t you give it a try? At the moment, we can’t find a better candidate. Please help the school out. The school will give you the allowance of a formal head teacher.”
Seeing that the leaders had said so much, Yang Zhen realized that it would be impolite to refuse further. She decided to accept the role, thinking it would provide her with more professional experience, self-improvement, and an additional allowance. It seemed like a good deal.
On Saturday, Yang Zhen visited Su Li and the others in Jifu New Village. She had promised to visit earlier, but other matters had delayed her. Now that she had some free time, she brought a fruit basket and came over.
Coincidentally, Gu Zi was planning to take the kids out for a picnic, and Yang Zhen was invited to join. The group arrived at the picnic site, where the lush green grass and wildflowers by the roadside symbolized the arrival of a new spring.
Gu Zi and Yang Zhen spread out the picnic blanket on the green grass and laid out the food.
This place, located to the north of Jifu New Village, was a large green field designated for people’s leisure and play. The residents of the community loved to come here for picnics and play. However, since it was a bit far from the Su family’s house, Gu Zi usually didn’t come, only occasionally bringing the children for picnics.
“Gu Zi, I’m not the type to take out my frustrations with adults on children. I don’t want to bring up the past, and I’m not interested in holding grudges. I’m just worried about my mother. She’s getting on in years, and I want her to have an easier life. But I can’t tell her to just ignore Yuan Yuan. The child is still young. If his parents don’t care for him, and his grandmother doesn’t either, it’s truly pitiful.”
Yang Zhen, who had been in good spirits, seemed to deflate after her speech, her expression turning somber. Gu Zi noticed this and thought for a moment before saying, “I understand what you mean. You’re already doing a great job, Yang Zhen. I have a rough idea of Aunt Yang’s personality. She always hopes that you, your brother, and Yuan Yuan will have good lives. As for herself, she doesn’t think about it much.
“She’s the type who can’t sit still. If she wants to do something, let her do it. You’re capable now, and to put it bluntly, you can support her. And I heard from Aunt Yang that you’re getting married, right?”
Gu Zi tried to steer the conversation towards a happier topic, as they were out to have fun. She casually asked the question, not expecting to stumble upon a juicy piece of gossip. Guan Xin really knew how to keep a secret.
Upon hearing Gu Zi mention marriage, Yang Zhen indeed smiled, her face radiating happiness as she said, “Yes, he’s a soldier, currently stationed in the North Central Military Region. But in a few months, he’ll be transferred here, and we’ll have our wedding. I haven’t told you yet, his name is Guan Ling, Guan Xin’s older brother.”
