Teacher Xiao Zhong's adventures in the countryside

Zhong Yiqiu and Xiao Mingye went to Liu Zi's house early the next morning, the couple were having breakfast, and today they were going to Liu Zi's grandma and uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings.But because the woman said yesterday that she was going to divorce, his mother is no longer in the mood to go back to her mother's house, and her face looks melancholy and depressed.

"Why are you two here now? I didn't see you yesterday when I went to pay New Year's greetings!" Liu Zi didn't look sad at all, and even had a long-lost tone in his tone. He stood up and complained loudly that the two of them didn't take him to play yesterday.

Zhong Yiqiu felt guilty and guilty, when she didn't come before, the six sons must have wanted to spend the New Year with Xiao Mingye, but now that they got together, they forgot about him.

But Zhong Yiqiu didn't know how to explain it, no matter what she said, it was like an excuse, so she went straight to the point and said, "What's the matter with retiring?"

The mother of six was surprised, "Have you all heard about it? People in this village are waiting to see our jokes every day! Once something happens, it spreads faster than an airplane!"

"You always say that, whoever is free is free to watch our jokes, but you always care about what others think, whether you are tired or not!" Liu Zi retorted with a frown.

Zhang Hongying has been a widow for many years, and she lives every day for this son. The six sons are also famous for their filial piety. They can't be said to be obedient to her, but they have never spoken loudly. The first time she yelled impatiently, she couldn't stand it immediately. , with red eyes, and a choked voice, he said, "Why did I think too much? I heard what people said about us behind their backs. I have worked so hard all these years. Grandson, our family can live in this village..."

The sixth son regretted it after he finished speaking. He knew best how much his mother had suffered. After his father passed away, she worked like a man. She could grit her teeth and carry a bag of more than 100 catties of grain.

But he also annoyed her the most. She always thought that the villagers were watching them as a joke. She was a widow, and the family had some money. The sixth father spent all his money on medical treatment in the past few years, and owed a lot of foreign debts, because of these conditions. At that time, others looked down on Liu Zi, although her son was also good-looking, optimistic and kind.

Zhong Yiqiu didn't know how to comfort her, fearing that the more she comforted her, the sadder she would be.He lightly bumped Xiao Mingye's arm and asked him to say a few words.

Xiao Mingye received the signal, thought for a while and said, "It's a good thing to retire."

Zhong Yiqiu: "..."

The sixth mother wanted to cry even more, she almost suspected that Xiao Mingye was also here to see the joke.

Zhong Yiqiu hurriedly remedied, "Auntie, what he meant was that this girl is not suitable for the six sons, she values ​​money too much, even if she is going to get married, it will be more troublesome to live together in the future."

Zhang Hongying liked him the most, and after listening to his words, she felt relieved, and said with a sigh, "You think I don't know the reason? I also understand in my heart that she has this problem, but it's a good thing. I think she can live a good life. Women are stingy and can manage money."

Zhong Yiqiu said: "Of course it's no problem. After all, you still have to be diligent and thrifty to manage your family. But I have also heard about the affairs after the engagement. After taking away so many things, what about after marriage? Don’t you want to intensify! Is the son you worked so hard to raise just for them to bully? "

This sentence really touched Zhang Hongying's heart. She has been dissatisfied during this period, not because she was reluctant to part with things and money, but more because she felt sorry for her son.She hesitated at first, but still repeated, "You young child doesn't understand rural gossip, I'm afraid that others will laugh at us behind our backs..."

Zhong Yiqiu persuaded, "Auntie, it's all said behind the scenes, how did you hear it? In fact, it's more of an imagination. You think others are going to talk behind the scenes, so you think so. Besides, even if it's true So what, they only dare to say behind their backs that we live our lives for ourselves, don’t we?”

When he said the last sentence, he couldn't help looking at Xiao Mingye. This sentence was to persuade others, but also to remind himself that what they had to face was not just gossip.

Liu Zi's mother was moved by his words. Maybe she already had this idea in her heart, but she lacked the courage to make up her mind.

The six sons said beside him, "Mom, if you quit, you will quit. I don't have any relationship with her. To be honest, since I got engaged, I haven't had a happy day. When I think of getting married, I feel that life is meaningless."

Zhang Hongying's heart hurt even more when she heard him say this, and finally let go, "Okay, just retreat, marriage matters, twisted melons are not sweet."

Xiao Mingye interjected, "Let them refund the engagement money and the things they bought during this time."

Zhang Hongying nodded, "This is what it should be. According to the rules, you have to retire."

The weather gradually cleared up, the snow began to melt, and the road was full of mud and water, making it impossible to go out.It was originally planned to pay New Year's greetings to Fang Tiaodong and Uncle Dao, but it had to be postponed.

Zhong Yiqiu is very comfortable these days, Xiao Mingye cooks for him in different ways every day, he just reads books, watches TV, and occasionally plays chess with Uncle Yi.In the afternoon, Xiao Mingye was asked to lie on the bed, and he lay in his arms. The two of them read books together, and slept together when they were sleepy. There was hot tea and various snacks on the table. The outside world seemed to have nothing to do with them. Fang Xiaoyuan, this room became their sweet world.

The only trouble is that his lips are always swollen. Uncle Yi said he was angry and urged him to get medicine from Dr. Zhang, but he couldn't cope with all kinds of excuses.

The clean and beautiful days lasted until the fifth day of the lunar new year. They actually slept very late that night. They slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep at night.

Under the subtle guidance of Xiao Mingye's fingers, Zhong Yiqiu finally understood how two men should sleep. This new world made him completely shattered, exhausted, and fell asleep as soon as he stuck his head in Xiao Mingye's arms.

He didn't wake up when the knock on the door sounded, and after Xiao Mingye let Gao Xiaobao into the room, he opened his eyes in a daze, and took out his watch to see that it was three o'clock in the morning.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhong Yiqiu asked.

Gao Xiaobao was covered in mud, even his face was covered, as if he had rolled through the mud.He was much thinner than the last time I saw him, but he was still in such a state of embarrassment. When he saw Zhong Yiqiu sitting up, he habitually teased, "You two actually slept in the same bed!"

"Stop talking nonsense, what's going on?" Xiao Mingye asked.

Gao Xiaobao first glanced at Zhong Yiqiu, then at Xiao Mingye, the two exchanged glances, Xiao Mingye nodded slightly, and then he said, "The police suddenly caught gambling tonight, and I ran out."

Zhong Yiqiu: "!

Xiao Mingye asked, "Have you chased him?"

"I did. Three policemen chased me. I didn't dare to walk on the road. I should have thrown off the one I wore from the ground." Gao Xiaobao said calmly.

Zhong Yiqiu was shocked, "Are you gambling?"

"I don't gamble."

"Then why are you arrested?"

Gao Xiaobao took off the dirty clothes outside and threw them on the ground, saying, "I'll help the casino watch the scene."

Zhong Yiqiu didn't know what to say, thinking back, no wonder every time I saw him, he would sleep during the day and stay up late at night, so it turned out that he was in a casino.Unexpectedly, there is even a casino in this small town. Over the past few years, gambling arrests have been very strict. Gao Xiaobao is too daring. Once caught, he will be imprisoned.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Gao Xiaobao deliberately smirked, then turned to Xiao Mingye and said, "I scared your children, what should I do? Why don't you go and coax them first?"

Xiao Mingye ignored his joke and said seriously, "You can't be here, the police will definitely check."

Gao Xiaobao didn't take it seriously, "They're just making a formality, can they really check?"

"During the Chinese New Year, are you a policeman playing games with you? Are you chasing you in plain clothes or in uniform?"

Gao Xiaobao thought for a while and said, "Plainclothes, we did it in the middle of the night. Two plainclotheses locked the front and rear doors from the inside while we were not paying attention. The whole room was blocked by people. I ran out from the toilet over the wall."

Xiao Mingye started to help him pack his things, "If you are so familiar with the environment, you must have been in ambush for several days, just to make a formality? You want to catch them all, so hurry up and leave."

Zhong Yiqiu's heart sank when he heard that, and jumped out of bed to help him prepare food.

Gao Xiaobao also became nervous, but he was still hesitating, feeling that the situation had not reached this point, "That's not the case, the casino owner has connections, otherwise he wouldn't dare to open such a big casino in the town."

"Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. If you are caught, even if you can be pulled out, you will be skinned inside." Xiao Mingye found an old coat for him to wear, and warned seriously.

"Where can I go?" Gao Xiaobao was a little confused.

"Go out of the province to hide for a few days, and come back after a while." Xiao Mingye said while reaching out to Zhong Yiqiu. After a long time of tacit understanding, he immediately understood. He took out a small cloth bag from the closet and gave it to him. There were more than 100 coins in it. dollars.

Xiao Mingye handed the bag to Gao Xiaobao, who stared at it for a while before accepting it.

Gao Xiaobao was still thinking, "Everyone in the town knows that we know each other. If I run away, the police will definitely come to you."

"Just look for it, I don't know where you went?" Xiao Mingye said.

Gao Xiaobao smiled, indeed, he only said that he was going out of the province, even he himself didn't know where he was going.

He changed his clothes, put away his things, and was still in the mood to tease Zhong Yiqiu, "I'm so sorry that I brought the police here to bother you."

Xiao Mingye said, "I won't bother him, the police won't come here?"

Zhong Yiqiu didn't understand what he meant, didn't he just say that the police would definitely search here?

Xiao Mingye explained, "I'm going home tomorrow. I have a house full of religious believers and a boss. I just want to see the police."

Zhong Yiqiu: "..."

Xiao Mingye was too bold, and his mind was so fast that he was able to combine two things in just ten minutes, and figured out the front and back arrangements. If he succeeded, even though the police didn't know what these people were doing, But at least it has a warning effect for the believers at the bottom.

Gao Xiaobao left, Zhong Yiqiu couldn't fall asleep, he didn't know if it was right to do so, after all he did make a mistake, the police should arrest him, and they helped him escape out of friendship.

Xiao Mingye hugged him and comforted him softly, "Don't think too much, he didn't break the law, and you didn't do anything wrong."

But Zhong Yiqiu asked, "Are you going back to sleep tomorrow? I can't bear you."

Xiao Mingye kissed him, and said, "I will not let you face any danger, even if it is interrogation by the police. You are a teacher, and you will do better and go farther in the future. There must be no stains. Our teacher Xiao Zhong is perfect."

Zhong Yiqiu had a sore nose, and he deliberately let his tone be fierce to cover up his emotions, "Is it a stain if the police ask me something! What kind of logic are you talking about?"

Xiao Mingye laughed, even the vibration frequency of his chest was a sign of liking.
