Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

When Principal Hu's wife heard him say this, she couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Why did he ask me to make tea when he came this time? Before, he just asked me to pour a glass of water at most." But she didn't think much about it. After all, Principal Hu was the head of their family, so she just had to listen to him.

Soon, she brought the tea, said hello to Yan Bugui, and went downstairs. People often came to their house, either to ask for connections or to ask Principal Hu to take care of them, so she usually said hello to others, put the tea away, and went downstairs, and of course this time was no exception.

"Teacher Yan, have some tea. Is there anything that brings you to my house today?" Principal Hu said to Yan Bugui with a smile.

"Oh, it's okay, it's not the first time I'm here. I'm not polite." Yan Bugui picked up the teacup and said with a smile, "I see that the New Year is coming soon, so I came to give you a gift in advance. I know you will be busy during the New Year, so this won't waste your time, right?" Yan Bugui said as he pointed to the things he brought.

How could Principal Hu not know why Yan Bugui came here? He was just asking politely. The main reason was that Yan Bugui had been sending him worthless gifts every day for many years. This year, the gift really touched his heart. He spoke to Yan Bugui in a more gentle and soft manner. Of course, he was not usually gentle and soft. After all, among the principals in this area, his reputation and style were considered good. It was just that compared to before, he was speaking more gently and softly now.

"Oh, my, look, Old Yan, we have been colleagues for so many years, and you are still so polite. In the past few years, you often gave me gifts, and I felt embarrassed. I was relieved when you didn't come last year. Look, you are here again this year. Hey, we don't need to be like this." Principal Hu waved his hand and said.

Of course, Yan Bugui knew that what Principal Hu said was just a polite remark, and he would not believe it. Of course, he also felt the change in Principal Hu's attitude. Principal Hu had never called him Lao Yan before, but today he actually called him Lao Yan. This was really different. It seemed that giving gifts was really a science, and he still needed to learn more in this regard.

He also shook his head and said, "Hey, Principal Hu, you can't say that. You usually take good care of me. I only give you a gift during the Chinese New Year, which is nothing. Last year, my family was really poor and I had some things to do, so I didn't come. You know there are 6 people in my family, and I'm the only one working, so this... Hey, let's not talk about it. Fortunately, the weather is good this year, so I came here."

"Hey, look at you, Old Yan. Let's not be so formal next time. Look at what you have done. I also understand your family's basic situation. It's not easy for you to support the whole family alone. Last year, your family was not well off because I, as the principal, did not perform my duties conscientiously and did not care about the basic situation of the teachers in the school. I am also at fault for this." Principal Hu shook his head and said.

"It's okay, it's okay. Principal Hu, you just make me feel guilty when you say that. There's really no need to trouble you with these matters at our family." Yan Bugui waved his hands quickly when he heard this.
