I really don't want to be a teacher

On the street, in the shop, the sound of hawking on the stalls, the voices and songs of pedestrians are mixed, lively and noisy.

……

"...Girl, boy, do you want to buy Spring Festival couplets? How many rooms are there in the house?"

Moving her feet, Lian Ge walked forward along the bustling street. Gu Xiaoying held Lian Ge's hand and followed Lian Ge's side.

On Lian Ge's shoulder, the little white mouse turned its head and looked around the bustling street.

Passing a few roadsides, there were stalls with Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures, and lanterns. The owner behind the stall greeted Lian Ge's Gu Xiaoying.

"Lian Ge, do you want to buy it here?"

Gu Xiaoying looked around at the stalls along the street selling things like Spring Festival couplets. She turned her head and asked Lian about the song.

Lian Ge walked along this bustling and bustling street, looked at the distance, then turned his gaze, shook his head,

"Go ahead."

"it is good."

After saying something, Lian Ge moved his foot away again.

Gu Xiaoying nodded, then took Lian Ge's hand, leaned against Lian Ge's side, and walked forward with Lian Ge.

……

"...All right, all right...Eighteen is eighteen, and those who celebrate the new year should be considered a lottery."

"...Grandpa, why do you have to post Spring Festival couplets during the Chinese New Year?"

Along the street, Lian Ge and the two walked forward.

Moving his feet, Lian Ge looked at the pedestrians and sights along the way, and listened to the voices mixed in his ears with the gusts of cold wind.

"...Dad, I want to buy this..."

"...Want to set off fireworks? Okay, after we finish dinner at night, Dad will take you to the square to set off..."

The child pulled his father and stopped at a stall selling fireworks on the side of the road. He pointed to a single firework and said crisply,

The child's father stopped with a smile and bought a firework for the child.

"It's ready...well, we have to go back. Mom is still cooking New Year's Eve dinner at home, and we have to go home to help."

"……Um."

The child carried the firework which was taller than his body, pulled his father, and hurried past Lian Ge and the others.

"... Mrs. Chen, have you bought Spring Festival couplets in your room?"

"... I bought it, I bought it... I brought it back when I came back this morning... Yesterday, the snow buried the railway on the north side of Lingbei, and I almost couldn't come back. Fortunately, yesterday In the evening, it was said that the railway was opened again..."

Two old ladies in thick clothes were laughing and talking, each holding a few plastic bags in their hands, with vegetables and Spring Festival couplets, walking past Lian Ge and them, and walking away behind them.

"...Elder Sister, it's already thirty in the afternoon, you can let me make some money anyway, it's really indispensable..."

"...Old boy, when did you come back, come out to buy Spring Festival couplets... That's fine, you should do your work first, come out to get together after the Chinese New Year..."

"...The price has been reduced, the price has been reduced, pick whatever you want, choose whatever you want...Big sister, you have such a good vision..."

With the cold wind blowing across the street, mixed voices and cries sounded beside Lian Ge, Lian Ge was walking, watching, and listening.

……

Walking through the somewhat lively street, passing a fork in the road, and walking into an alley,

The noisy and bustling street is getting far behind, and beside you, calm down.

In the alley, most shops are closed, and there are not many pedestrians passing by, most of them are passing by,

After walking for a while, Lian Ge stopped in front of the open shop at home.

This is an old shop, and the paint on the wooden doors that open to both sides has faded a little, making it look a little potholed.

Through the store door, one can see that inside the store, there are some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls on both sides, some brushes and inkstones, and some scrolls and scrolls.

Moving his feet, Lian Ge walked into the shop with Gu Xiaoying.

"...boy, girl, what do you two want to buy?"

Behind the counter, the shop owner sitting on the stool, an old man got up, greeted Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying,

Gu Xiaoying looked around the shop and then at Lian Ge.

"Old man, do you have any red paper?"

Looking at the shop, Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked at the old man and asked aloud.

The old man looked at Lian Ge's eyes, and then asked aloud:

"...the store doesn't sell them, but there are still some. Is the young man going to write couplets by himself?"

"Correct."

Lian Ge nodded.

"...It's also a coincidence. I bought it myself to write couplets earlier, and I still have some left over, otherwise I really don't have any. If you want it, young man, I will give it to you. Wait, two, I will get it."

The old man looked at Lian Ge again, smiled and said again, and walked into the next room.

Smiling slightly, Lian Ge didn't say much, turned his gaze, and looked at the store for some items.

……

"...Young man, here, that's all that's left, see if you have enough."

Soon, the old man came out of the house with some rolled red paper tied with a rope, and handed the red paper to Lian Ge.

"Enough, how much?"

"It's 20 yuan, it's not intended to be sold when you buy it, and the rest will be given to you at cost."

"Thank you then, old man."

He took out a banknote from his pocket, and Lian Ge handed it to the old man.

"... You're welcome, young man, what else do you think?"

The old man laughed and asked again.

Looking at the shop again, Lian Ge shook his head.

……

"...Then Lian Ge, shall we go back and write Spring Festival couplets now?"

After buying the red paper and leaving the shop, Lian Ge and the others walked along the street and walked out of the quieter alley.

After pausing at the entrance of the alley, Gu Xiaoying leaned against Lian Ge, looked at the red paper in Lian Ge's bag, then raised her head to look at Lian Ge and asked a question.

"Go ahead, you haven't bought your New Year's gift yet."

Looking at Gu Xiaoying, Lian Ge smiled slightly, said something aloud, led Gu Xiaoying, moved his feet and walked forward.

"... Lian Ge, what is the gift?"

"...Don't you want to keep some surprises?"

"...Then... Lian Ge, what are you going to write on the Spring Festival couplets..."

……

The sunset is a bit early in winter, and after walking a few streets and alleys, in the sky above the head, the sunset gradually sank to the horizon, covered by tall buildings in the distance,

The sky was getting dark, the roadside street lamps were lit up, and some lights were gradually reflected in the shops that were still open.

"...Mom called and said that the food in the house is almost ready, and we are waiting for us to go back, so hurry up and tidy up."

"……it is good."

In a passing shop, a couple packed up their things and closed the shop door.

"...Mom, don't spoil him, let him come down and walk by himself. Don't be tired. "

"...It's okay, it's rare to see my grandson all year round. Besides, I'm not tired... My baby, what do you want to eat tonight, grandma will make it for you."

An old lady was hugging her grandson, talking to her son, and walked past Lian Ge and the others.

Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying walked forward, stepping on the lights of the street lamps swaying on the street.

Chapter 714

"...Okay, this lantern, big sister, you can just take 20 yuan, I also have to clean up the stall, and go back to the house for the New Year..."

On the street, the hustle and bustle of pedestrians gradually thinned out, stalls were set up, and the stall owners who sold Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures were also busy clearing up the stalls.

The doors of all the shops have been closed, and Spring Festival couplets have been pasted up beside the shops, or lanterns have been hung.

Nearby, most of the pedestrians on the street are in a hurry, with some smiles on their faces, heading home,

"...Mom, I'm going to the house soon, I'm almost downstairs in the community..."

"...Dad, my father and I will go together tonight..."

"...Go home, go home for the New Year..."

Some voices echoed in the street along with the cold wind shaking some lanterns, gradually drifting away,

In the distance, in this bustling city, among the high-rise buildings, thousands of lights are on. It seems that under each light, each family is in a house, and the family is gathering together, eating the reunion dinner years ago, and talking about the end of the year. Homework is short.

"... Lian Ge, your mother-in-law called and said that your teacher has an operation tonight and they may come back later."

After walking along the street for a while, Lian Ge stopped on the side of the street, looked at the tall buildings in the distance, dotted with thousands of lights in the bustling city, and walked along the street nearby, dyeing the street There are some festive colors, lanterns on the street lamps, Spring Festival couplets beside the shops, and decorations along the way.

Turning his gaze again, he looked to the side.

On the side, beside the street, is a small alley between buildings and shops on both sides.

The alley seemed a little cramped, barely able to accommodate three or four people walking side by side.

The eaves on the sides of the buildings on both sides are almost touching together.

There were no lights in the alley, and it seemed a bit dark.

The entire dark alley is not very long, and it seems to be connected to another street adjacent to this street.

Looking at the end of the alley, Lian Ge paused.

On the shoulders, the little white mouse also stood with its forelimbs, looking into the alley.

"...Lian Ge, Lian Ge?"

Seeing that Lian Ge didn't respond, Gu Xiaoying yelled a few more times, then turned her gaze, and looked into the alley.

The alley is a narrow alley, with the outer walls of buildings on both sides, and the eaves extending to the side, and there are no shops.

At the end of the alley, there were no lights, and it seemed to be submerged in the dark night.

"Lian Ge?"

Gu Xiaoying looked around the dark alley, then turned to look at Lian Ge.

Lian Ge paused his gaze again at the end of the alley, turned his gaze to Gu Xiaoying, raised his hand, and waved towards Gu Xiaoying.

Gu Xiaoying seemed to feel some changes, then turned her head and forgot to go into the alley, she couldn't help but pause her gaze.

Turning his gaze again, Lian Ge looked towards the end of the alley.

The dark alley seems to be connected to the street on the other side,

Through the end of the alley, on the street at the other end of the alley, there seemed to be lights on, swaying some lights on the street on the other side, and reflecting some light into the alley.

The street at the other end of the alley, under the lights, is bustling, and you can see some figures from time to time, passing by the entrance of the alley at the other end, and you can still see some, facing the entrance of the alley, there are stalls on the side of the street , behind the stall, the stall owner is hawking.

"Lian Ge, over there in the alley..."

After Lian Ge waved Gu Xiaoying's hand lightly, Gu Xiaoying also saw the scene at the other end of the dark alley, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Lian Ge again, wanting to ask something out loud.

"Go and have a look. Maybe you can find a New Year's gift for you over there."

Lian Ge first responded, then turned his gaze, looked at Gu Xiaoying with a slight smile, and said aloud.

Gu Xiaoying looked at Lian Ge and nodded.
