Teacher Xiao Zhong's adventures in the countryside

Zhong Yiqiu is like a kid who hides candy in his pocket, doesn't know how to show off his happiness but is worried about being robbed, every once in a while he secretly takes it out and licks it, it's so sweet to his heart.

He quickly finished the rice in the bowl, dropped the bowl and ran out like a rabbit.

Although he is young, he seldom looks so unsteady. Uncle Yi asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"

Wang Wenjun snorted coldly, "What can I do! Brother Xiao must have called back! It's like killing him!"

Uncle Yi stared deeply at the figure who disappeared at the door, picked up the bowl but couldn't finish it, and frowned.

Sleeping late in summer, everyone likes to wander out of the door after eating. Li Lianhua was instructed by Lin Yufang to extend the business hours of the supply and marketing cooperative, and it stayed open until ten o'clock in the evening. She also hung two strings of red and green Colorful lights, like a small entertainment venue.

Sure enough, they were welcomed by the surrounding villagers. After eating, people gathered in twos and threes, some carried small stools, and some sat on the ground directly, buying melon seeds for a few cents, buying a popsicle or a small ice pack. When chatting, the children are even more happy, playing various games together.

If you meet someone who is willing to spend money and buy a bottle of ice soda or ice beer, Lian Dazui will be even happier, shouting loudly, as if a singer in an opera used to receive a reward from the audience. .

Xiao Mingye didn't say what time to call, Zhong Yiqiu couldn't sit still at home, and hurried to the supply and marketing agency to wait. When he arrived at the intersection, he was startled. In just a few days, the supply and marketing agency had become so lively.

There are two NO.30 men and women sitting in a pile at the door, playing cards, chatting, bragging, drinking... Noisy like a night market in the city, a dozen children are playing in a circle on the road, throwing handkerchiefs, chattering called.

Zhong Yiqiu was a little embarrassed and passed away, thinking it was better to wait for the call, Li Lianhua called before calling.As soon as he turned around and wanted to go back, he was stopped by someone and shouted loudly, "Mr. Xiao Zhong, why are you still leaving?"

The person who called him was nicknamed Gouhai, and he had a good relationship with Liu Zi, but he was a little afraid of Xiao Mingye, so he rarely came to play with Liu Zi. Zhong Yiqiu had met him a few times in the village, and he was familiar with him. youth.

As soon as he yelled, the eyes of the people around him all cast their gazes over, so Zhong Yiqiu had no choice but to turn around and walk over, answering the greetings of others one by one.

Gou Hai held a handful of poker cards in his hand, shirtless and raised his hand and asked Zhong Yiqiu, "Come to play two?"

"Don't play, I'll call." Zhong Yiqiu waved his hand and refused.

"I just went to ask the sixth son not to come, and he doesn't know what's wrong recently, just like confinement, he doesn't go out no matter what!" Gou Hai joked.

The six sons helped Zheng Xiaoxia to the hospital in the afternoon, and Zhong Yiqiu really found that he talked a lot less. Hearing what Gou Hai said, he became serious in his heart, and wanted to find time to have a good chat with the six sons.

"Ms. Zhong, come to drink soda—" Several people chatted around, and someone stood up and handed a bottle of soda.

Zhong Yiqiu was a little short-sighted. It was dark at night and the colored lights at the door kept flickering. He squinted for a while before he recognized Yuan Baolin, the class teacher of the fourth grade.

"Thank you, I won't drink anymore, I just finished eating." He thanked with a smile.

Yuan Baolin was tall, with broad and upright features. Although he was not handsome, he was very masculine. Although he was married, he was very popular both in school and in the village. There were a few girls sitting around him.

"Miss Xiao Zhong, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Someone said hello, and the soft voice sounded familiar, Zhong Yiqiu lowered his head and looked intently, it turned out to be Zhao Honghua...

Most other married women sat directly with their legs spread apart, but like the little girl, she bent her legs together and put her chin on her knees. Under the flickering lights, her slender neck was bent into a beautiful curve.

Zhong Yiqiu was a little embarrassed seeing her, and didn't know how to respond, so he could only nod his head as a greeting.

Zhao Honghua laughed, her eyes shimmered brightly, and she said jokingly: "It's such a hot day, why aren't you tanned at all? You're still so white!"

The older girls and younger daughters-in-law next to each other burst into laughter, staring at Zhong Yiqiu and making fun of it.

Zhong Yiqiu's face became hot. Fortunately, it was dark and he couldn't see clearly. He scratched his neck and didn't know how to deal with these women. Fortunately, at this moment, Lian Dazui shouted from the room, "Teacher Xiao Zhong, come quickly, the phone is coming." -"

Zhong Yiqiu ran in quickly, and didn't feel any pain when her arm bumped against the corner of the counter, her heart was as excited as if it was about to jump out.

I picked up the phone but didn't know what to say, and felt a little shy.

"Why don't you talk?" Xiao Mingye's teasing voice came from the opposite side.

Zhong Yiqiu suddenly felt wronged, "Why did you call back?"

He unconsciously put on a coquettish tone, and Xiao Mingye's whole body went numb, his heart softened into bubbling syrup, and he explained: "I was in a hurry on the road, and I didn't stop to rest, so I didn't find the phone."

Zhong Yiqiu felt sorry for him again, and asked, "Then when will you come back?"

"Miss me?" Xiao Mingye said.

"Ah."

Xiao Mingye originally wanted to tease him, but he didn't expect him to answer so directly and affirmatively. He felt uncomfortable hearing it, and coaxed: "Go back tomorrow. The return journey is fast, and I will be home in three or four days."

Zhong Yiqiu turned around and looked outside. Li Lianhua was packing things at the counter, but he didn't dare to say affectionate words, and whispered: "Then take care of yourself."

"How do you take care of it?" Xiao Mingye asked with a smile.

"Eat well, drink well, dress well, stay safe, and remember—think of me—"

"Okay, I must remember."

Xiao Mingye had to rush back to work, so he arranged for the convoy to load overnight and return home at dawn.

It was only after hanging up the phone that Zhong Yiqiu remembered that he was so focused on whispering that he forgot to tell him that Zhou Lvshu would ask him to take care of the temple construction project.

He was very annoyed, but Xiao Mingye came back within a few days.

He planned to go to Liu Zi's house after school the next day, but before he was discharged from the hospital, Zheng Xiaoxia's father came, carrying a cloth bag with 50 eggs in it.

Zhong Yiqiu does not harvest, 50 eggs is not a small amount. Although every household raises chickens, 50 eggs may be enough for a week, but the rural people are simple and hard, and they are usually reluctant to eat eggs. They keep them for money. Occasionally Will make some for the kids to eat.

Zheng Xiaoxia's father said with a simple and honest smile, and stuffed the bag into Zhong Yiqiu's arms with all his strength, sweating from anxiety.

Uncle Yi helped to call the shots: "You accept it, a little kindness from others."

While tugging, Zhong Yiqiu felt sore from the thick calluses on his hands, and said, "I only want 20, and you take the rest back. Xiaoxia is still sick, so she needs to eat some good supplements."

Before he could agree, Zhong Yiqiu took the bag into the kitchen, took 20 out, and then came out and stuffed the bag into his hand.

Holding the bag, he was a little at a loss, standing in the yard with his head bowed, not knowing whether to go or stay, and he didn't know what to say when he stayed. Like a mentally disturbed person, he kept moving his feet.

Zhong Yiqiu guessed that it might be because he seldom faced people outside the village and was too nervous, so he helped out and said, "Is Xiaoxia feeling better?"

Now that there was a topic, he was not so restrained, and hurriedly replied: "Okay, okay, don't burn it."

"If you don't have a fever, you have to finish the medicine brought back from the hospital. Pneumonia is more troublesome, so don't be careless." Zhong Yiqiu instructed.

"Yeah—good!" Zheng Xiaoxia's father agreed, and smiled again: "Thank you so much yesterday, without you, we wouldn't even be able to touch the gate of the hospital in town."

Zhong Yiqiu was very puzzled, the town is not big, people often go to the market to buy things, and the shop owners in several streets are all familiar faces, why does their family seem to have never been there.

I don't know if it's because the weather is too hot or because of nervousness, Zheng Xiaoxia's father's face was sweating, he shook it off, and said in embarrassment: "I haven't been to school and can't read, and Xiaoxia's mother hasn't been to school either." , she can't even recognize money, we go shopping in the town with others, and we dare not go by ourselves."

Zhong Yiqiu impulsively asked: "The school holds literacy classes in winter, why don't you come?"

After finishing speaking, he regretted it. Zheng Xiaoxia's father's appearance is too conspicuous. Everyone likes to make fun of him, and even feel disgusted and shy away. Of course, he doesn't want to go to a crowded place to humiliate himself.

Sure enough, he lowered his head again, smirked twice and did not answer.

Zhong Yiqiu said: "If you want to learn to read, I can teach you, not with the literacy class."

This short, thin, wretched-looking rural youth seemed to be frightened, and suddenly forgot the habit of dodging for more than [-] years, stared straight at Zhong Yiqiu, and said tremblingly: "Who... Who... taught me...just me?"

The little flower dog regained its health, and started to show off its might again, squatting at Zhong Yiqiu's feet, barking at strangers.

Zhong Yiqiu raised his foot and gently touched it to make him shut up, but he didn't answer right away, wanting to wait for the frightened person to calm down.

"Xiao Zhong... Teacher... I... I'm already so old, I can't learn..."

"No matter how old you are, as long as you want to learn." Zhong Yiqiu said.

"I'm too old to learn..." he repeated.

Zhong Yiqiu stepped forward and patted his sagging shoulders. Rural people get married early, and he may only be a few years older than herself, but he has had a lot of vicissitudes.

"Don't worry, I promise to teach you, as long as you are willing to learn."

"Can't learn to make people laugh..."

Zhong Yiqiu knew that he was willing in his heart, but when faced with unknown things, everyone's first reaction was to fear and shrink back, not to mention that he had low self-esteem since childhood.

"After school every night, come whenever you have time, and I'll teach you for an hour." Zhong Yiqiu directly helped him make the decision.

"How can I do this... I can't trouble you... I can't learn and waste your time..."

Zhong Yiqiu encouraged: "Try it for a few days first, is that okay?"

...

"Okay..." Zheng Xiaoxia's father finally agreed, his dark face turned red, and the big mole on his face was greasy.

Uncle Yi was picking vegetables at the door of the kitchen. He didn't say a word, but his heart was greatly shaken.

Zhong Yiqiu has changed, but I can't tell what changed.

In short, everything is getting better and better.
