I really don't want to be a teacher

The old fisherman turned around, then moved towards the backyard.

……

In the main room, it became more and more quiet.

Withdrawing his eyes, Lian Ge looked at the nearby houses with lights on through the door of the main room.

The sunset glow in the west has dissipated and was replaced by night. In the village, the smoke from every household's cooking gradually dissipated, replaced by the trivial voices brought by the breeze,

The family was having dinner, talking about family affairs and field affairs,

On the village road, you can still see some villagers holding rice bowls, eating and chatting with their neighbors.

"Squeak, squeak..."

The little white mouse on the shoulder also stood upright with its forelimbs, turning its head,

"Yeah, it's quite quiet." Lian Ge looked at it, smiled slightly, and answered.

In the village, the trivial voices from time to time added a bit of silence.

……

"...Young man, try it. As far as home craftsmanship is concerned, it is not as good as outside, and I don't know if it suits your taste."

At the dining table, Lian Ge, the old fisherman, the old lady and the old couple were sitting around. On the table was a steaming tofu fish in an iron bowl, and there were two dishes of stir-fried vegetables beside it.

The old lady smiled and said hello to Lian Ge.

Lian Ge heard the words, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish,

The fish meat was chopped into big pieces, covered with a layer of thick oil, dipped in some pickled peppers and ginger, exuding bursts of hot and sour taste,

Put it into a bowl, pick up a small piece of boneless fish, Lian Ge tasted it,

"It tastes good."

"It's good if you don't dislike it, there is nothing good to entertain in this place..." The old lady listened and said with a smile, "Young man, I won't be polite to you, just be yourself, what do you want to eat?" Just clip it yourself."

Upon hearing this, Lian Ge smiled and nodded, and then replied,

On the side, the old fisherman looked at it with a smile, and also took the chopsticks, picked up the chopsticks fish, tasted it,

"After so many years, it still tastes the same, delicious..."

Laughing, said the old fisherman,

The old lady listened with a smile on her face, and started to eat with chopsticks,

"It's just that the fish caught today is a grass carp with a lot of spines. Be careful when you eat it, young man."

……

"Old man, are you going out tomorrow?"

"I won't go tomorrow. I think the grass in the field is growing badly. Tomorrow, I'll go and pull the grass."

"Then tomorrow, I will go there with you."

"to make……"

In the main room, under the lights, the old fisherman and the old lady were talking about trivial things,

A few moths were flying around the incandescent lamps hanging from the roof of the hall.

The voices were intertwined and echoed in the main room.

"Young man, do you want some food? I'll get you some."

The old lady turned her head again and greeted,

"Don't bother you, old man, I will serve it myself."

Lian Ge smiled and said.

"Well, the rice is on the stove."

The old lady smiled and responded.

"Dong dong..."

At this moment, a figure appeared at the open door of the main room,

With a large bowl in one hand, he gently knocked on the door of the main room with the other.

Hearing the sound, the old lady and the old fisherman turned their heads,

"Old Qiu... are you eating?"

The visitor walked into the main room with a large bowl in his hand, smiling.

"The third child of the Tan family, you are..." The old fisherman stood up,

"Didn't this make some dumplings at home? After thinking about it, I brought some for you, Lao Qiu."

As the visitor spoke, he put the big bowl in his hand on the table,

"Why are you being so polite..."

"Hey, Lao Qiu, let me go, the dumplings just out of the pan are still hot, don't burn them."

As the visitor spoke, he put the large bowl of dumplings on the table,

"Old Qiu, then eat slowly, I'll go back first, and I'll come back to get a bowl tomorrow."

After putting down the dumplings, the visitor turned around and walked out of the hall again.

Chapter 304 The Village

"The third child, the third child of the Tan family..."

"Don't give it away, there's no need to give it away, Lao Qiu, you can eat..."

The old fisherman moved away from the dining table, chased a few steps outside the main room, and shouted a few times,

The visitor didn't stop, but quickened his pace, waved his hand backwards, and disappeared into the night along the village road.

"Forget it, old man, it's all here, let's eat."

The old lady called out to the old fisherman outside the hall,

"I cooked half of the grass carp I picked up today, and the other half was salted. When I cook it tomorrow, you can serve them a bowl too."

Hearing this, the old fisherman nodded, looked away from a distance, and re-entered the main room.

"It can only be like this... This third child is really, it's not easy at home. Every time he cooks something, he always brings it to us. Do you think he is... I remember his granddaughter likes to eat dumplings."

The old fisherman moved back to the table again,

"It's also someone's wish." The old lady said with a smile,

Hearing this, the old fisherman just shook his head,

"You go and get two more bowls, and share the dumplings, just give that young man a taste too."

Hearing this, the old lady nodded and got up to walk towards the kitchen.

"I don't need it,"

Lian Ge, who was holding a bowl with rice, came out of the kitchen, glanced at the two elderly people, and then at the steaming dumplings in the big bowl, Lian Ge smiled, shook his head,

"My meal is already served, so I won't eat the dumplings. Let the two old people eat."

"Let's taste it," the old lady said with a smile,

"Food is enough." Lian Ge smiled slightly, shook his head, sat down on the stool again,

"Then... I'll get a bowl, and you can fill the bowl out for the young man first. If you are not full for a while, you can eat again."

After a pause, the old lady said,

Turned around and walked towards the kitchen,

However, just after taking a few steps, the old lady stopped again, turned around and looked at the little white mouse squatting on Lian Ge's shoulder,

"...Young man, do you want to feed it some white mouse? I think it seems to be quite greedy."

The old lady smiled and said,

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the shoulder, rolled his eyes, and stared greedily at the little white mouse who was looking at the food on the table.

"Just take a bowl to hold some rice. I'm sorry, old man." With a slight smile, Lian Ge said with a smile,

"It's okay, I think this little white mouse looks really cute."

The old lady waved her hand and stepped into the kitchen.

……

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge glanced at the old fisherman across the dining table, and the old fisherman also just looked away from the old lady who walked into the kitchen,

Turning his head, looking outside the main room,

"It's windy...Looking at the weather, I'm afraid it will rain again tonight." The old fisherman looked at it and murmured, as if he was talking to himself,

"But the rain is good, at least the water in the lake will not continue to recede in the rain."

"...Don't be too polite, young man, you can grab whatever you want to eat,"

The old fisherman turned his head, saw that Lian Ge seemed to have stopped his chopsticks, and greeted again,

Lian Ge responded with a smile, picked up the chopsticks, and then picked up the chopsticks to stir-fry. While eating, he glanced at the big sea bowl next to the old fisherman.

"Old man, you seem to be in the village, and you are quite respected."

Lian Ge asked calmly while eating,

"It's respectful or not, it's because of age..." The old fisherman waved his hand,

"...That was more than ten years ago,"

At this time, the old lady came out of the kitchen with an empty bowl and spoon in one hand, and a bowl of rice in the other hand, covered with some vegetables, and said with a smile,

"Our village is a fishing village, and the people in the village rely on the fish in the lake for food. More than ten years ago, the lake receded and there was no fish in the lake. I don't even have to eat." The old lady put the bowl of rice aside as she spoke.

Seeing this, the little white mouse jumped off Lian Ge's shoulder in an instant, and started fighting around the bowl of rice.

"These people in the village panicked all of a sudden. They didn't have a backbone, and no one thought of a way. They either stayed on the shore all day, or sat on the threshold, sighing. At this time, this old man Stand up," the old lady said, walked back to the dining table, glanced at the old fisherman, she didn't seem angry, but she smiled,

"He is a life who is worried about suffering. Earlier, he was the head of the village. He was very angry in the village. Sometimes some people couldn't persuade him. He was so angry that he couldn't even eat when he came back. Couldn't sleep at night, many people scolded him behind his back, and every time, it reached his ears... Later, he finally got so angry that he quit. He stood up again when he encountered such a thing up.

Going from house to house, telling people, we can’t just point to the sky to eat. There is no water and no fish in this lake. People still have to live and eat... Isn’t the lake water receding? The land that has receded from the water is opened... Let me tell you, he also came up with some stupid ideas, and he has nothing to do in his life. He either lives in the water or digs in the mud to eat. "

The old lady was talking, picked up the spoon, filled the empty bowl with dumplings,

Listening to his wife talking about him, the old fisherman just smiled and listened, staring at the old lady,

"...But fortunately, although some people still don't listen this time, thinking that the old man's methods are stupid, they are still hungry and know what is good. After the old man stepped forward, he remembered his past. , the hearts of the people are united, although the method is a bit stupid, but it is better than everyone standing in a daze and doing nothing well. The land, a piece of land, is blooming. First, vegetables for a season are planted, and slowly the village is boiled. Here we come... Although we are still not rich, we still can’t starve to death.”

The old lady said, the dumplings in the empty bowl were also filled,

"Young man, I will put this bowl here for you. If you are not full later, you can eat again."

After speaking to Lian Ge, the old lady stretched out her hand again, picked up the bowl in front of the old fisherman,

"Give it to yourself first. If I don't have enough, I'll have some more food later." The old fisherman smiled, looked at his wife, and said aloud.

Glancing at the old fisherman, the old lady didn't say anything, she was still holding the old fisherman's bowl and spoon, filled with dumplings,

"After that, some people in the village thought of the old man and treated him more politely."

……

Listening to what the old lady said, Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked into the village through the open door of the main room,

In the village, the lights are still on, and the voices of each family are blowing with the breeze from time to time,

Looking back, Lian Ge looked at the old lady and the old fisherman, and asked calmly,

"Old man, do you have a pen at home, can you borrow it?"

"Pen?"

Serving the old fisherman with dumplings, the old lady who had just put down the bowl turned around,
