347: My teacher is my fan

"Although I usually live at the school here, I'm not very familiar with the city yet. I wanted to take this opportunity to have a good time, so I booked a room for ten days."

Wang Yan explained to the two students.

"East Sea Fisherman? Tide Cottage?"

Bai Xue asked with a smile.

"Yes, that's the place. You know about it too?"

Wang Yan asked curiously.

"Hehehe, excuse me, Beautiful Teacher Wang, I am the owner of the East Sea Fisherman account. The person fishing in the video is my husband."

"Tide Cottage was started by my mother and my in-laws! Welcome, Beautiful Teacher Wang, to Tide Cottage. All expenses are waived! Hehehe."

Seeing Bai Xue's somewhat smug laughter, Wang Yan was momentarily stunned.

"Ah! Really? You mean those underwater videos and photos were all taken by you?"

"Those are my humble works; please, Teacher Wang, give me some pointers. Hehehe."

"You little brat, you're being sarcastic, you're asking for a beating. But honestly, they're really good! I'm your fan! Tell me, what other special treatment do your fans get?"

"Yes, free companionship for playing, eating, and sleeping. Hehehe!"

Wang Yan rolled her eyes at her and lightly hit Bai Xue's arm.

"Beautiful Teacher Wang, why don't you stay at my house instead of Tide Cottage B&B? You can leave the room for other fan friends."

"This... this doesn't seem very appropriate! Will it bother your family?"

Wang Yan hesitated.

"It's just my husband and I at home. Luo Min and the others are also staying there now, and my in-laws have their own house. Besides, staying at my place will be more convenient for going out to play. It's fine, come on!"

Bai Xue sincerely invited her.

"That's right! Teacher Wang, Bai Xue's house is huge, we're all staying at her place now."

Luo Min, in the back seat, also spoke up.

"This..., but what about the room I painstakingly booked? Besides, I really want to go fishing at sea with a boat."

Wang Yan was still undecided.

"As for the room, we can go cancel it together, and it can be given to someone who couldn't book one."

"Going fishing at sea will be even more convenient. Our family also has a larger fishing boat than my father-in-law's guest boat. We'll take you fishing to your heart's content; we're going out fishing ourselves anyway."

"Teacher Wang, Xiaoxue is a big spender now, hehehe, we must seize the opportunity to take advantage of her. Xiaoxue will make a seafood feast for Beautiful Teacher Wang tonight."

Luo Min joked from the back seat.

"No problem, leave it to me! Teacher Wang, it's decided!"

"Alright then! I'll listen to you, and I'll mooch off the big spender too. Hahaha."

As the three chatted and laughed, they soon arrived at the entrance of Tide Cottage B&B.

"Mom, let me introduce you..."

"Oh! Hello, Teacher Wang, thank you for taking care of our Xiaoxue all these years and teaching her so well, allowing our family to have such a good daughter-in-law!"

Zheng Jin, who happened to be on duty, solemnly thanked Wang Yan.

"Auntie, you're too kind, Bai Xue is excellent on her own."

Wang Yan hadn't expected Bai Xue's in-laws to be so polite. She repeatedly waved her hands, not daring to take credit.

"Xiaoxue, you did well. Teacher Wang must stay at our home when she comes, and she should visit often in the future! Teacher Wang, please cancel your order, and the deposit will be refunded."

"By the way, Xiaoxue, your mother just put things at our house. Ask your mother to meet Teacher Wang. How about we all have dinner together later?"

Zheng Jin said to them.

"Dinner, let's talk about it later. Tonight might be at my place; a few of my classmates are going back tomorrow."

Bai Xue thought for a moment and said.

"Alright then, tomorrow or the day after is fine. You can arrange it then; we definitely have to treat Teacher Wang to a meal. Remember, don't forget!"

Zheng Jin repeatedly exhorted, fearing that Bai Xue might forget and cause an offense.

"Got it, Mom. We'll be going now."

"Goodbye, Auntie!"

Wang Yan and Luo Min also bid farewell to Zheng Jin and went to the house next door.

"Bai Xue, is this your house too?"

"Yes, my in-laws live here; we don't. I'll explain to my mom first."

Bai Xue explained.

"Mom, let me introduce you to my university teacher,..."

"Welcome, welcome, Teacher Wang, thank you for taking care of Xiaoxue. Please sit, please sit, Xiaoxue, pour tea for the teacher."

Chen Lanying warmly greeted Bai Xue, pouring tea for the teacher and students.

Han Yu, a Tang Dynasty literary scholar, once said in his "Shishuo": "A teacher is one who transmits the Way, imparts knowledge, and resolves doubts."

This clearly interprets the duties and roles of a teacher. It is simply a sacred profession, like that of an angel.

Since ancient times, our country has followed the principle of respecting teachers and valuing their teachings: "Master, master, once a teacher, always a father."

Teachers are not only transmitters of knowledge but also spiritual guides!

Society even likens teachers to gardeners and candles, and it is their selfless dedication and spirit of educating people that earns them the respect of the entire society.

However, in recent years, some unethical teachers, for their own selfish gain, have failed to explain essential textbook knowledge during school hours, only teaching it in their own private tutoring classes.

This forced parents to pay for his tutoring classes, which were exorbitantly expensive.

For a time, this matter caused a great uproar, bringing immense shame upon the sacred profession of teaching.

Later, the Education Bureau even explicitly stipulated: In-service teachers are not allowed to establish tutoring classes!

But a foot of virtue is met by a yard of vice!

Since these people couldn't set them up themselves, they registered the licenses under their relatives' names and continued to act as they pleased.

Therefore, the respect for teachers in society today has completely vanished, unlike the level of respect it once held.

(The above is my personal experience and merely represents my individual opinion. At the time, I didn't know why my grades plummeted, and by the time I found out, it was too late! Damn it!)

While they were drinking tea and chatting, Chen Lanying received a call saying that the harvest had returned.

"Let's go, let's go, Teacher Wang, I'll take you to pick seafood. There'll be plenty for a seafood feast tonight."

Bai Xue pulled Wang Yan and Luo Min out the door and drove towards the Training Center.

"Bai Xue, is this your family's fishing boat too?"

Wang Yan asked, pointing at the fishing boat being unloaded.

"Yes, this is a fishing boat my husband, my dad, and my father-in-law co-own. We'll see if there's any seafood you like later; just take whatever you want!"

Bai Xue nodded, found a few plastic bags, and handed them to the two.

"Mantis Shrimp, come with me, let's find a boyfriend together! I want to eat Mantis Shrimp!"

Luo Min pointed at baskets of Mantis Shrimp, shouting excitedly.

"What an accomplishment. At this time, Mantis Shrimp are the cheapest. I'll get you a big bag later so you can eat your fill tonight."

Bai Xue was somewhat speechless.

"It's not cheap now, is it? Last week, I asked at the vegetable market on our side, and it was selling for 58 yuan a catty! Is that still cheap?"
