Chapter 36 The Little Paper Man

In the evening, the orange-yellow sunset gradually sank behind the mountain.

Si Yu tidied up several boxes, and Fan Tianxing prepared them thoughtfully. In addition to the daily necessities he needed, one of the biggest boxes contained dozens of copybooks and Chinese textbooks for primary school students.

Ruan Ruan had told him before that the cultural level of the villagers was very different. Xiaolu and Lin Xiaoping belonged to a very high level, and they could recite a few ancient Chinese from time to time; Xiaotu's gang of brats are considered purely illiterate, unable to read a single word.

Qi Lu should also belong to the highly educated category. Xiaofu and him complained secretly that the master forced him to copy Chinese characters and sometimes ancient poems all day long, which is annoying.

He asked Ruan Ruan, they are all villagers who have lived in the mountains for generations, why some people can read and others can't. Teach from the most basic.

Si Yu casually opened a textbook and flipped through it. There were many more colorful illustrations than words. The first lesson was called "Heaven, Earth and Man", and the second lesson was called "Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth". They were all simple literacy lessons.

He raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows, suddenly feeling clueless.

He is neither a normal student nor has he ever worked in a teaching job. He has been making products for an Internet company since he graduated. It is easy for him to write plans, but it is really difficult for him to write lesson plans for class.

Finding this job was purely accidental. At that time, he was facing unemployment, and his anxious hair fell out. The first thing he did when he got home every night was to submit his resume on the job website. When he was hungry, he would eat a bowl of instant noodles and then continue I voted, and after three days of voting, I suddenly received a phone call, saying that I belonged to the Ministry of Special Education.

There was a job that included food and lodging, and a lot of money. Si Yu went to the interview without even asking.There were three interviewers in total, and the main face was Fan Tianxing—an amiable and gentle middle-aged man, who asked him a few random questions with a smile, such as "Do you like watching horror movies?" Adverse physiological reaction", "Are you a materialist" and so on, Si Yu was dumbfounded by the question, and answered in a straightforward manner. Unexpectedly, the old man was very satisfied with him, so he decided on the spot that he was the only one.

Only later did he know that he had gone to the mountains to be a rural teacher.He didn't think much about it at the time, just thought how difficult it could be to teach children lessons.Besides, life in the city is so stressful, and he will not be able to save a down payment after working on the Internet for five years, so he might as well go to the countryside to hang out and save some money along the way.

But now that the situation is coming to an end, Si Yu is really a little scared.

I don't know what Fan Tianxing's group thinks, they don't find a few serious teachers to teach, let him toss around without understanding anything, there is no schedule or semester plan, and let him fend for himself.

Si Yu sighed, even Ruan Ruan was better than him, at least he is a serious normal graduate...

Thinking of this, he flicked his fingers in the Chinese textbook, and Ruan Ruan's delicate face and her soft voice appeared in his mind:

"I'm just a college student from a poor mountainous area..."

She was too impatient before and didn't pay attention, until now when she recalled, Si Yu remembered that when she said this, the helplessness and fragility in her eyes were particularly clear.

Ruan Ruan repeatedly emphasized his origin to him, is there any hidden secret in it?

Si Yu turned his head and looked out of the window, the golden afterglow gradually faded away, and the breeze blew up the clouds, and at the same time, he soothed the hot breath that had been scorched by the sun during the day.

——It's getting dark, Ruan Ruan should have already left.

Si Yu was sitting on the ground thinking wildly, when suddenly the phone by the table vibrated, it was a text message from Ruan Ruan.

——Teacher Si, I'm leaving, and I'll have to work hard for you in the future, so be careful.Also, can I trouble you to take care of Li Mao, his hand is injured, please tell him not to write his name anymore.

Si Yu was startled, did Ruan Ruan go to see Li Mao?What does it mean to tell him not to write his name anymore?

He immediately called back a call back, the ringer beeped three times, but was hung up directly.

A few seconds later, she sent back another message:

——Be careful.

It is estimated that Ruan Ruan really didn't want to have contact with him anymore, and there was a typo in a text message with only four characters in total.

Qi Lu had something to hide from him, and Ruan Ruan didn't want to tell him something, Si Yu's head seemed to be cooking a pot of porridge, all the clues were mixed together in a mess, and it was steaming.

He shook his head, decisively turned off the pot of porridge, and then stretched leisurely.

Don’t tell if you don’t tell. Anyway, his father has been dead for several years. He is a loner, with no seniors and no children, and his savings are less than five figures, unless the secret involves a sum of money waiting for him to inherit. The inheritance of tens of millions, otherwise it doesn't matter whether he knows it or not.

It was nothing more than a big rock in his heart, and he groped slowly by himself, and he could always figure out what this rock was.

He went out with a tablet of anti-inflammatory medicine in his pocket, planning to visit Li Mao.Ruan Ruan said that his hand was hurt, but he didn't know if it was serious or not.

Xiao Mao chased and bit his tail around a tree, and Lin Mubai walked around on a skateboard.On the other side of the arch bridge, Qi Lu walked over. He didn't wear a cape, he was wearing a very relaxed black home clothes, and he was holding Xiaofu's little yellow hat in one hand.

Since the last time Si Yu invited the children to play with Xiaofu, Qi Lu no longer kept Xiaofu at home under strict supervision, and occasionally let him go out for a run in the evening.

Seeing Si Yu leaning against the door, Qi Lu paused, and then walked forward without paying attention.

When Qi Lu got off the bridge, Si Yu leaned his hands to his mouth, made a trumpet shape, and called him: "Mr. Qi, do you want to send Xiao Fu to play with the children?"

Qi Lu nodded, walked around a tree, turned a corner, and went in the direction of Room 43.

Si Yu ran up to him in two or three steps, opened his arms to stop him, and said with a smile: "I want to go out to play too, won't Mr. Qi see me off?"

"Xiaofu is four and a half years old." Qi Lu glanced at him and said calmly, "How old is Teacher Si?"

Si Yu really tilted his head and thought about it. After a while, imitating Xiao Fu's appearance, with his hands on his waist, he said confidently: "I want to give it to 23 and a half years old!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Lu really froze for a moment, Si Yu smiled a bit slyly, and under the remaining skylight, he quietly looked at Qi Lu's reddened ears.

The innocent Mr. Qi Libaba obviously doesn't know how to deal with the temptation of the human teacher. He is at a loss in his heart, and he is so embarrassed that he wants to turn his head and leave, but his eyes are reluctant to leave.There was a snigger on the face of the human being who thought he was playing tricks. Mr. Kiribaba was arrested, and his eyes lingered on the curved eyes of the human being for a long time.

"Actually, I have something to ask Mr. Qi for help." Si Yu coughed twice and said, "Wait for me!"

He turned around and ran into the house, and when he came out again, he was holding a big box in his hand, which was full of books.

"The class will start the day after tomorrow," Si Yu raised his chin, "Mr. Qi, please help me distribute the textbooks, one for each family, and mobilize everyone to attend the class by the way, there is no age limit, you can come if you want."

"Go by yourself." Qi Lu glanced at the colorful textbook covers in the box, frowned in disgust, and took a step back.

Si Yu put his palms together and made a pleading gesture, and said eagerly: "Mr. Qi, your words are useful. If no one comes to class, I will lose my job!"

"Do not……"

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

Before Qi Lu could utter his words, he was interrupted by Lin Mubai who volunteered.Holding the skateboard in one hand, Lin Mubai rushed between the two of them, rolled up his sleeves, and said anxiously, "I'll deliver the books!" After speaking, he gave Si Yu a wink.

Si Yu smiled dryly at Lin Mubai, and gave him a wink to tell him to go away, he is cracking the shell here, what is Lin Mubai doing here!On the other hand, he did have some selfish intentions. Qi Lu had a high prestige in the village. As long as he was willing to speak up, there would definitely be a lot of people coming to class.

But the down-to-earth village head is obviously not a wink, thinking that Si Yu is winking and enthusiastically responding to his initiative, so he smiles even more attentively.

Si Yu: "..."

Looking at the interaction between the two of them, Qi Lu's calm face turned cold in an instant, and the "not going" in his mouth turned a corner, and when he said it, it became "I'll go."

"Really?!" Si Yu was overjoyed.

Lin Mubai persevered: "Brother Qi, let me go! Si Yu's business is mine...you can talk about it after I leave."

Halfway through Lin Mu's vernacular, Brother Qi suddenly glanced at him coldly, his eyes were full of icy scum, he changed the subject, he didn't know why Brother Qi became so moody after he recognized a father, he didn't Even if he dared to think about it, he didn't dare to ask, so he quickly slipped away with his butt between his legs.

"Really?" Si Yu asked again.

"Yeah." Qi Lu had no expression on his face, and kicked the box with his toes.

"At 08:30 am the day after tomorrow, I'm still at the place where the class was originally held. Mr. Qi wants everyone to come to the class more often!"

"Ah."

"Then trouble Mr. Qi," Si Yu blinked, "I have something to do, let's go out!"

After he said this, he ran away. Qi Lu was holding a little yellow hat, and stood there watching his back disappear at the other end of the arch bridge. He suddenly thought of the rabbit embroidered on the cotton slippers.

Always bouncing around, restless.

He lowered his head and smiled, and easily carried the large box of books into the room with one hand, twisted a small paper figurine, and asked it to deliver the textbooks.

The little paper man took the instruction and picked up the box effortlessly.It's only the size of a thumb, and it doesn't feel a bit strenuous while carrying something thousands of times larger than itself, and even turns around happily twice.

"Go," Qi Lu waved his hand, "don't let him see you."

The little paper man nodded and went out. Qi Lu sat down on the recliner, put on gold-rimmed glasses, and picked up a thread-bound book from his hand, but he couldn't stay still with the sound of the hammer hitting his chest. make up your mind.

He turned a page of the book, and the thick-skinned Si Yu suddenly jumped out of the page, and asked shamelessly——I want to go out to play too, won't Mr. Qi see me off?

He turned another page of the book, and Si Yu cheated with his waist - 23 and a half years old also wanted to give it away!

Everything was messed up, Qi Lu closed his eyes hard, turned another page, Si Yu appeared again, and said plausibly - Mr. Qi, your words are useful, if no one comes to class, I will lose my job!

unemployment?If he loses his job...

"and many more!"

Qi Lu's body was one step ahead of his consciousness, and he stopped the little paper figurine with a sound.

As soon as the little paper man walked out of the yard, he turned back and twisted his neck to express his doubts.

Qi Lu raised his hand to take off his glasses, pressed his forehead again, and said in a deep voice, "I'm here, you go and watch Xiaofu, don't let him go crazy."

The little paper man nodded, threw the box on the ground with a "snap", turned two somersaults, and ran out to find Xiaofu.
