Novel Bin Chapter 89 - Chapter 89: Treating Guests
“Then that’s it! I’ve thought of a good compromise!” The principal said.
“Song Yao, I know that your family background is not good and it’s not easy for you. I thought that you should study at home and come to school to take the exam during the college entrance examination. I just don’t know if this will affect your results. After all, no matter how good the learning environment at home is, it can’t compare to the school…’
“Is this bad?” Song Yao carefully probed. Although this was a good idea, Song Yao had never liked to trouble others.
Moreover, she was the one who insisted on taking the college entrance examination back then. Now that the principal had personally come to look for her, she felt that she had let him down by not going.
“What’s wrong with that? You just have to study hard and leave the rest to us!” When he said this, the principal was actually still hesitating. As the principal of a top high school in the province, he would definitely look at the students’ results.
He really wanted to bring Song Yao back to school and be a spiritual role model for the other students. However, Song Yao was already past the age of studying. Moreover, she had an old and a young family. It was not easy.
“Ahem… I also have additional conditions!”
The principal paused for a moment and continued, “You have to come to the school for the exam twice a month. We want to see if your learning level can keep up when you’re at home. If you can’t, you don’t have to come over to take the college entrance examination.”
To Song Yao, this was indeed the best solution!
“Don’t worry, Principal. I won’t let you down!” After Song Yao finished speaking, she even bowed to the principal.
The principal said, “Alright! I’ll get Teacher Wu to send you the important questions when I get back! You can arrange the rest of the time yourself! ”
The principal was about to leave when Gu Li chased after him. “Principal! Since you’re already here, let’s have a meal before leaving!”
“Huh? That’s not good, right?”
The principal was a little tempted. Before coming to this town, he had heard from the nearby residents that Song Yao’s food was delicious. Moreover, he was indeed a little tired after walking for a day. Thinking that there were still three days and three nights of trains to catch, the principal sighed deeply.
“What’s wrong with that? You came all the way to our small place. How can you leave without eating?” After Gu Li finished speaking, she did not care about the principal and Teacher Wu’s wishes and pulled them into the courtyard.
The principal and Teacher Wu did not refuse again.
When they arrived at the living room, Gu Li quickly called Song Ping over to brew the newly bought jasmine tea and bring up a plate of fruits.
“There’s nothing good in the countryside. You guys can make do with it.”
Teacher Wu picked up a piece of fruit and placed it in her mouth. “Mother Song Yao, you don’t have to be so reserved. I also got it from the countryside. I ate all these things when I was young!”
“That’s right.” The principal smiled. “I used to be an alumnus in the countryside for a few years. Even when I returned to the city later, I couldn’t forget the taste of farm vegetables. I still remember that mustard shredded vegetables with cornbread is the most fragrant! ”
“Wow! You even like to eat this!”
Gu Li smiled. This was the first time she had seen such a principal. She smiled and put on her apron. “Sit and watch television for a while. I’ll cook for you!”
With that, Gu Li went to the kitchen.
Song Yao was still picking vegetables in the kitchen. Liang Jie and Song Xiao were in charge of removing the feathers of the rooster.
Because there were VIPs today, Song Yao made several dishes.
There were chicken stewed with mushrooms, grass fish tofu soup, stir-fried eggs with loofah, cold mustard shredded vegetables, stir-fried celery with potato shreds, and boiled sweet potatoes.
Worried that the principal and Teacher Wu would not be used to food from the countryside, Gu Li specially made dumplings filled with cabbage and pork and served them.
The principal was already starving. He immediately picked up a dumpling and ate it.
“It’s so delicious! As expected, farm food is the most delicious!”
Teacher Wu also picked up a piece of chicken and placed it in her bowl. The meat of the chicken was soft and rotten. It was also an old hen that had been stewed for four hours. The texture was even more fragrant but not greasy!
Teacher Wu ate a few more mouthfuls and even tried the other dishes. He realized that every dish was delicious. “Song Yao, do you have any secret manuals for cooking? This rice is even better than the chefs in the Provincial Capital Hotel!”
“Well…” Song Yao smiled. After a while, she said, “It’s a secret!”
Teacher Wu was full of praise for Song Yao.. “Your studies are good, and your cooking is so amazing! In the future, if you go overseas to participate in a chef’s competition, the bonus will be enough for you to buy a house in the county!”
