I started a senior citizen university after being unemployed, and I became the favorite of my uncles

Chapter 130: Joining Evergreen Tree, We Become a Family

Lin Qinglan hired a special lawyer to file a lawsuit. Not only did she want the family of three to get out of Xu Mian's house, but she also wanted to get money from them to provide for Grandma Ying's retirement.

When the lawyer heard their demands and the details of the case, he patted his chest and guaranteed victory by risking his entire career.

In order to facilitate communication on issues related to the real estate lawsuit, Lin Qinglan took Grandma Ying to the teachers' dormitory to stay temporarily.

Grandma Ying is 82 years old this year and is not in good health. Xu Mian will not be able to come back for a year or two, and Lin Qinglan has not yet figured out how to arrange for Grandma Ying.

Despite being Xu Mian's friend, Grandma Ying was still wary of Lin Qinglan.

Grandma Ying has exceeded the age standard for admission to Evergreen, but there is a precedent like Aunt Xie in their school, so Lin Qinglan is considering having Grandma Ying enroll in the senior citizens' university next semester, so that she can also pay attention to Grandma Ying's physical condition in time.

The most important thing now is to deal with the issue of ownership of the house first and let Grandma Ying return to her and Xu Mian’s home.

In addition, Lin Qinglan was a little troubled by the issue of address.

At the university for senior citizens, the age range of students ranges from 50 to 70, which can be a generation apart.

But Lin Qinglan called everyone uncle and aunt regardless of their age, and especially called the younger ones uncle and aunt, which made them happy to hear.

Grandma Ying was called according to Xu Mian's generation. For convenience, Lin Qinglan discussed with her grandmother and decided to call her Aunt Ying.

In the first few days, Aunt Ying was not used to it. She always said that she would cause trouble for Lin Qinglan. She talked to herself every day and was not in a good mood. But uncles and aunts often came to chat with Aunt Ying and took her around the campus. She gradually relaxed and no longer refused to communicate.

Aunt Ying’s favorite is the small vegetable garden next to the restaurant, so she and Aunt Wu from the planting class have a lot of topics to talk about.

Aunt Ying is always particularly excited after visiting the vegetable garden and the experimental field of the planting class.

"The small vegetable garden in the school is growing really well. Xiaomian likes to grow vegetables very much. If she saw these vegetable gardens, she would be very happy."

"She has been helping me in the fields since she was little. When she was very young, she carried buckets to irrigate the fields. When she grew up, she knew more than me, an old woman who had been farming all my life. It's a pity that she didn't apply for the agronomy major because she liked it."

When talking about her granddaughter Xu Mian, Aunt Ying's face was filled with pride and nostalgia.

As Lin Qinglan listened, she couldn't help but think that Xu Mian could rely on her hobby and experience in planting to settle down and make a name for herself in another world.

"Aunt Ying, do you want to try taking a few classes in the planting class? I think you are really suitable for this course." Lin Qinglan made a sincere suggestion. Aunt Ying has experience and is interested in the planting class, so she will definitely be able to take the planting class well. The two teachers in the planting class will definitely be happy to have such a good student.

"Can I really do it? I can't read and I have never been to school. Will I not understand what is being taught in class?" Aunt Ying pointed at herself, looking a little panicked.

"No, there are people in our planting class who can't read, but their practical results are very good."

The ones who answered were Aunt Wu and Aunt Xie, and behind them was a large group of Evergreen uncles and aunts.

"In the planting class, you don't need to learn many words. The teacher will use pictures and drawings to explain clearly, so you don't have to worry about not understanding what the teacher is saying."

"Moreover, many of our classes are practical in nature, which means you have to work on the field. You don't have to sit in the classroom every time you take a class. I'm sure you can do it on the field." Aunt Wu introduced to Aunt Ying enthusiastically.

Aunt Xie patiently explained: "You have experience in growing vegetables, so you can teach others."

"Similarly, if you want to learn to read, we can teach you."

"For example, teach me how to grow vegetables. I really need someone to save me and my vegetables!" Uncle Wang raised his hand excitedly.

Uncle Wang is a "poor student of agronomy" who mistakes daffodils for garlic and hyacinths for onions, and blames them for their haphazard appearance. He is a "major concern" for the teachers in the planting class.

"You taught me, I always mistook vegetables for weeds. My chives were the only ones in the class that were malnourished, shorter than others, and half of them were dead."

"If they die again, I won't be able to keep my grades. I urgently need someone to help me get through the crisis of failing the exam."

"But if you want to learn to read, don't look for me. Look for Sister Liang. She has a high level of literary knowledge. Let me teach you. I'm afraid I'll lead you astray."

Uncle Wang’s words suddenly sparked a trend of “competing to become a little teacher”.

The uncles and aunts rushed to introduce what they could teach Aunt Ying.

Uncle Li and Old Fu’s answers did not disappoint everyone.

Uncle Li was full of confidence: "I will teach you how to use a smartphone. I guarantee that you will be able to master it within three months."

"I'll teach you how to order takeout. It won't take three months. You can learn it in thirty minutes. I'm faster than him and what he teaches is simpler." Old Fu was not willing to be outdone.

"It's just ordering takeout. I can teach you."

"I've ordered takeout more times than you have. I'm more skilled than you."

The two of them had a disagreement and started quarreling again.

Lin Qinglan coughed lightly.

Uncle Li responded quickly and covered Lao Fu's mouth: "You forgot the lesson from last time and dared to mention takeaway in front of Principal Xiaolin."

Old Fu felt wronged, "Didn't you also say it, why should I bear the blame?"

"Besides, this is the only thing I know that I can barely use."

"Are you asking me to teach her how to eat, drink and have fun? Wouldn't that be a bad example for her? If my son knew about it, he would go to school and scold me."

Everybody laughed together, and infected by the joyful atmosphere, Aunt Ying also laughed heartily.

She sincerely thanked everyone, "Thank you for your kindness. Meeting Principal Kobayashi and everyone is the happiest thing that has happened to me in recent years."

"What are you thanking me for? We are a family now that we are in Evergreen!" the uncle and aunt said in unison.

When the atmosphere was just right, someone shouted, "Oops, I forgot to comment on the teaching."

It was only after the uncles and aunts reminded Lin Qinglan that she remembered that Teacher Meng Wenwen from the Administrative Office had reported to her a few days ago that it was time for teaching evaluation.

Meng Wenwen has informed the teachers of each class of the process and methods of teaching evaluation and asked them to pass it on to the uncles and aunts.

The so-called "teaching evaluation" is an evaluation of teachers and teaching before the end of the semester.

Mainly I want to see the uncles and aunts' feedback and suggestions on the course.

Let schools and teachers understand their demands so that they can improve the teaching direction accordingly. This is also a necessary link for colleges and universities.

In order to make it easier for uncles and aunts to use the "teaching evaluation" function, the school has developed a special program.

Light up the smiley face of your favorite teacher, evaluate him/her with one click, or write a comment.

The teachers accepted whatever the uncles and aunts said. They put in effort and sincerity, and at least the teachers were very satisfied with themselves this semester.

Meng Wenwen forgot to tell Lin Qinglan that her name was also on the teaching evaluation system.
