Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

The cold wind was biting, and the snow on the branches of the trees was blown off by the wind.

The sound of setting off firecrackers kept coming from the fire market, "Boom, boom, boom~" This is thunder, "Bang, bang, bang~" is two kicks, and "Crackling~Crackling~" This is a string of firecrackers.

There is a strong smell of the New Year in the air.

"Old man, please wait for a while. I'll buy the firecrackers first, and then I'll cut the bear meat when I come back."

"Okay, go ahead and buy it."

The old man selling bear meat was very happy. Xu Dahai bought all his bear meat directly, which was like saving his life without haggling.

If he buys so much, he will agree even if the price is reduced.

Xu Dahai went to the fire market and quickly bought a large number of firecrackers. They were packed in fertilizer bags. You can tell by the bulging appearance of the firecrackers that there were a lot of firecrackers.

Paid for bear meat.

The old man handed the bear meat in the fertilizer bag to Xu Dahai and said in a stuttering voice:

"Young man, do you want a bearskin? I still have a bearskin at home."

"Oh? Are there bear paws?"

"No, my son sold the bear's paw, and he spent the money just to play with it."

A piece of black blind man's skin only costs 20 yuan, which is ridiculously cheap.

After knowing the address of the old man's house, Xu Dahai said he would go there tomorrow before leaving.

……

After meeting Wang Xiuxiu's mother and daughter, the family of three returned home directly.

Not long after arriving home, the second sister Xu Mei brought some meat buns over:

"Cooking? This is for Xiao Tingzi to eat. If it's cold, give it to her."

"It took a lot of effort to bring it here. Haha, just give it to Xiaoxiang."

"Yes, there are others in the courtyard."

The second sister, Xu Mei, was wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket and gray trousers. After entering the house, she sat on the edge of the Kang.

After chatting for a few words.

The second sister suddenly said that the Chinese New Year is coming. Do you want to go to Principal Liu’s house to pay New Year greetings?

"Second sister, do you still want to be a substitute teacher after the Chinese New Year?"

"That's for sure. I don't know what to do other than this."

The second sister is a little embarrassed, but she really likes teaching. After this period of study, she feels that she is fully qualified to teach first grade mathematics.

Seeing the children understand the course and acquire knowledge under her explanation, she felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Okay, let's go there in the afternoon."

"alright!"

After having lunch and taking a short rest, the siblings went to the countryside on [-] big poles. When they arrived at the door of Principal Liu Aimin's house, it was not yet two o'clock in the afternoon.

knocked on the door.

Principal Liu's lover welcomed the two of them in. When he saw the large and small bags in Xu Dahai's hands, a smile immediately appeared on his drooping face and he became enthusiastic.

Xu Dahai smiled.

No one is perfect. Principal Liu’s wife just likes gifts. He doesn’t care so much.

The skinny Principal Liu was wearing a cashmere sweater and was practicing calligraphy in the room.

The writing is quite serious, but Xu Dahai has never studied this kind of thing, but he can still do it with a few casual compliments.

After chatting for a while and the atmosphere became friendly, Xu Dahai directly asked the question:

"Principal Liu, can my sister continue to be a substitute teacher next year?"

The air was suddenly quiet.

The second sister, Xu Mei, who was sitting on the right, became nervous, her breathing was slightly rapid, and her hands were clenched.

"This... it will be decided by the school leadership team at a meeting next year. Your sister is not the only substitute teacher, there are three or four."

Xu Dahai looked straight at him and said nothing.

Principal Liu changed the topic and said: "I support your sister staying, don't worry, there should be no problem."

"That's fine, thank you, Principal Liu!"

"Thank me Gaha? The main reason is that your sister's teaching level is really good now.

Her progress is obvious to all. When her level has reached, isn't it normal for me to keep her? "

Principal Liu put down his brush, flexed his muscles, and then said:

"But one thing to say is that your sister's current academic qualifications are indeed a bit low. She graduated from junior high school and taught junior high school... Hey, it's always easy for people to criticize her.

No matter how high your teaching level is, but if your academic qualifications are too low, people may accuse you of this, and you won't be able to refute it. "

The second sister couldn't help feeling discouraged.

Xu Dahai finally heard something in Principal Liu's words. He smiled and took out a box of Chinese cigarettes from his pocket, tore open the package and handed one to him.

"What do you think, Principal Liu?"

"Huh? It's so good... Ahem, I mean it's best to find a way to get a high school diploma. It's best... There is news that there will be changes in the adult college entrance examination policy next year. It's best to take the exam. Adult College.”

"Adult college? Can I take the exam after graduating from junior high school?"

"There is a high probability that you will be able to take the exam. This thing is mainly for working people to improve their academic qualifications. The qualifications for the exam will not be so restrictive. The main difficulty is whether you can pass the exam."

……

After staying at Principal Liu's house for more than half an hour, when they came out, Principal Liu and his wife gave him away.

"It's cold outside, go back, don't give it away!"

"Okay, take your time on the road~"

After watching Xu Dahai and his brother riding away on [-] poles, Principal Liu and his wife turned around and walked back into the house.

Principal Liu’s wife was very happy and kept chattering along the way:

"I saw it just now, and Xu Dahai is quite generous. Among the things he brought were five bags of malted milk, several kilograms of eggs, and others including oil, sugar, and pine nuts..."

"You have short hands when grabbing people, but soft mouth when eating people, hey~"

……

the other side.

After returning to Xujiatun, the second sister Xu Mei played in Xu Dahai's courtyard for a while. She was very interested in taking the adult college entrance examination, but she felt that she would not be able to pass it.

An obvious lack of confidence.

Xu Dahai didn't know whether his second sister could pass the exam, but he still encouraged her:

"The policy hasn't come out yet. Let's wait and see next year. Second sister, don't be too stressed. Just give it a try. What's the point of trying? Relax, maybe you can pass the exam?"

"You're right."

The second sister Xu Mei smiled. She understood some of the truth, but sometimes she would inevitably overthink it.

After being enlightened by others, my thoughts became clear and I no longer thought about it too much.

"Okay, you guys get busy, I'm leaving."

The next day, Xu Dahai didn't take the dog into the mountains to hunt. After eating early in the morning, he rode the Erba Dagong to Laosongtun.

The old man selling bear meat at the market yesterday is from Laosongtun. We made an appointment yesterday to buy bear skins today.

The cold wind blows, and snowflakes begin to fall from the sky again. Some children are not afraid of the cold, holding firecrackers and setting them off in the village.

The explosion caused snowdrifts to scatter in all directions.

"Uncle, are you at home?"

"Who is it! Hey, young man, you are here." The old man who was selling bear meat at the market yesterday opened the door of the dilapidated house, and a little flowery dog ​​swooped out.

"Wang Wang Wang ~"

The scream was pretty fierce.

"It's snowing. I thought you wouldn't come over today. Come inside and warm yourself up. It's really cold outside."

The old man’s house is also quite dilapidated.

I have lived in the earthen house for decades. There are many newspapers stuck on the walls of the back room. The walls of the main room are blackened by frequent cooking.
