I really don't want to be a teacher

Page 168

And at the same time that Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man also walked not far from Lian Ge.

After a pause, the middle-aged man didn't sit down next to Lian Ge, but went around and sat down behind Lian Ge on the empty bench against which the back of the chair was leaning.

"...Hey, the school is not bad, how about the classmates, are they good? That's good, that's good..."

The middle-aged man was sitting on the edge of the empty bench, with a smile on his dark face and creases at the corners of his eyes. He answered the phone,

"...Pay more attention to safety at school, and be alone outside...Okay, Dad, don't talk, don't talk, listen to you..."

"... How was Anmen Square that day?" "

……

Listening to the middle-aged man's voice, Lian Ge looked away again, and continued to flip through the book in his hand as before.

……

And at this time,

On the lawn, a sanitation worker with a garbage tong in one hand and an iron bucket in the other walked towards the lawn while picking up the plastic garbage left in the lawn.

Then bent down and used the garbage tongs to pick up a piece of garbage hidden in the lawn, and after throwing it into the iron dustpan, the sanitation worker straightened up and looked inside and outside the lawn.

After a pause, he also walked towards the bench behind Lian Ge.

……

Leaning the iron bucket with the garbage tongs next to the bench, the sanitation worker sat down beside the bench where the middle-aged man was.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead with his cuff, the sanitation worker sat on the bench, looking at the lawn in the distance, a little absent-minded.

……

"...If you have any grievances, remember to call Dad, don't hold it in your heart alone, you know?"

The middle-aged man held his mobile phone close to his ear, and said to the other end of the phone,

"...This is in the capital, and the consumption is high. Do you have enough money? Dad will send you some money later. Don't be too hard on yourself when you go out alone. If you see something delicious, buy some Come to eat, if you are on vacation and want to go somewhere, you can go with your classmates, and when you come back from the winter vacation, you can also talk to Dad..."

"...It's okay, it's okay, Dad has money."

The middle-aged man grinned, "Don't worry Dad, Dad's wages at the construction site have increased again. Dad can't spend much by himself...you spend money everywhere..."

"Okay... Then you go to class, and Dad has to work too. When you are free, Dad will call you again."

With a smile, the middle-aged man put down the functional phone in his hand.

After a pause, the middle-aged man raised his head and looked into the distance.

……

"Brother, should you call your child?"

The sanitation worker turned his head, looked at the middle-aged man, and asked,

"Yes." The middle-aged man turned his head and replied with a smile,

"Boy or girl?"

"Girl." The middle-aged man responded,

"How old are you? Studying outside?"

"I'm studying at a university in the capital." The middle-aged man replied with a proud smile.

"That's pretty good... But the child is so far away, can't I put it down?" The sanitation worker said, turning his gaze back, "When my son was studying outside, I was worried all day long, just because I was afraid I was wronged outside, and I kept it from my family..."

"I can't let it go, but it's okay. The child is sensible. He will call home every now and then to talk... It's not good to call the child every day. Do you think the child will always have something to do outside? , we can't delay the child..."

"...Brother, let's not talk for now, I have to go back now."

While speaking, the middle-aged man stood up again, wiped off some sweat on the functional phone, and put it back in his pocket.

Turning around again, he patted the bench where he was sitting before, the dust that might have been contaminated, and then turned and left along the path in the park.

Walking to the small square on the other side of the lawn, the middle-aged man could not help but pause slightly,

"...Brother, do you want a watermelon?" the vendor greeted,

Hearing this, the middle-aged man moved his chapped lips, then shook his head, started walking again, and walked out of the park along the small square.

……

The sanitation worker sitting on the other side of the bench watched the middle-aged man walk away, then supported the back of the bench, stood up again,

After lightly hammering his waist with his hands, the sanitation worker bent down again and picked up the dustpan and garbage tongs.

Slightly hunched over, the sanitation worker came out from the side of the lawn, walked along the path in the park, and continued to bend down to pick up the rubbish beside the path.

……

At this moment, a strong wind blows through the park, disturbing the shaded branches and leaves in the park, and rolling down the leaves.

The sanitation worker subconsciously turned around the moment he felt the wind, and used his body to block the wind.

But some plastic garbage that has been picked up in the bucket is still blown out by the gust of wind, blown away along the ground, and scattered everywhere on the ground.

……

Looking at the scattered plastic waste, the sanitation worker held the garbage tongs and stood there, staring blankly...

But after that, he moved his footsteps again and picked up the plastic waste one by one along the road.

Then, the sanitation workers faded away.

……

On the bench, Lian Ge raised his head and glanced at the sanitation worker who was fading away. After a slight pause, he looked away.

Turning his gaze back to the "Elementary Technique" in his hand, Lian Ge flipped through the pages as before.

And the sun above the head gradually climbed towards the sky, swaying the sun to the ground.

In front of and behind him, pedestrians passing by in a hurry or slowly,

One after another, the voices of loud noises, or whispers, along with the breeze disturbing the branches and leaves of the trees from time to time, mixed with the sound of pages turning, kept ringing in Lian Ge's ears.

Chapter 226 Oh, childish

"...Shang Yi, let's play the game of cops and thieves?"

"Hmph, childish."

At noon, the sun has climbed to the sky, and there are fewer people playing in the park, and more and more pedestrians passing through the park.

Several students, about seven or eight years old, walked along the path in front of Lian Ge with their schoolbags on their backs.

One of the students walked backwards and suggested excitedly,

The seven or eight-year-old student he was facing seemed to sneer,

"...How about letting you be a policeman?"

The student who was walking backward spoke again, while the students on the side also turned their attention to the sniffing student.

The student was a little moved and hesitated when he heard the words.

But then, he turned his head and said pretending to be disdainful.

"That's not a real policeman, it's just your childish game, I want to be a real policeman!"

Hearing this, the proposed student and several other companions exchanged glances,

"...Then play?" the proposed student asked again,

"Play it yourself."

As he said that, Shang Yi, the student in the middle, stopped, looked around, and ran towards the bench where Lian Ge was.

Looking at Lian Ge who was flipping through the pages of the book, Shang Yi took off his schoolbag, put it down on the bench, and sat down on the other side of the bench, leaning against the edge of the bench.

"...Shang Yi, what are you doing there?"

Several students on the side of the road walked towards Shang Yi and asked at the same time,

"You guys go back first, I'll sit here by myself for a while." Shang Yi waved his hand and said while sitting on the bench.

Hearing this, several students carrying schoolbags glanced at each other,

"Then... let's go first?" The student who proposed before looked at Shang Yi and said,

"Let's go, let's go..." Shang Yi waved his hand, looked at his companions, and said impatiently.

Several companions heard the words, looked at Shang Yi again, then moved their feet and walked away along the path.

"...Then I will be a policeman, you are thieves..."

One of the students said aloud,

"Catch the thief..."

Following the crisp voice of the child, several students gradually ran away with their schoolbags on their backs.

……

"Oh, childish..."

Shang Yi covered his schoolbag with one hand, looked at several companions who had gone away, and whispered again,

But then, his companion disappeared from sight, and Shang Yi gradually lowered his head again, feeling a little depressed.

……

Flipping the pages of the book, and after reading another page, Lian Ge raised his head, turned his gaze, and looked at the child sitting beside him,

"...Why don't you go play with your classmates?"

Glancing at the child, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze again and asked aloud at the same time,

"They are naive. The police are not like them. They don't catch thieves all day long. There is still a lot of work to do... I don't want to play this childish game, I want to be a real policeman!"

Shang Yi raised his head, glanced at Lian Ge, then lowered his head and said.

"Is there a policeman at home?"

Lian Ge turned another page, looked at it, and asked calmly,

"My parents are both policemen, real policemen!" Shang Yi raised his head and said proudly,

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge looked at the child again, and couldn't help smiling slightly,

"...So you also want to be a real policeman?"

Looking away, Lian Ge asked.

"Well! I must be a policeman!"

Shang Yi nodded heavily, his eyes were firm.

……

"...Why don't you go home?" Looking at the book in his hand, Lian Ge didn't turn his eyes away, and continued to talk to the child,

"There's no one at home, why go back?"
