Teacher Xiao Zhong's adventures in the countryside

"Now start to do the seventh set of radio gymnastics, the first set, stretching exercises, preparation-up, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..."

At dusk in autumn, the setting sun dyes the countryside with a layer of warm and brilliant colors. Yellow corn hangs all over the yard, and the two persimmon trees in the corner are bent over by persimmons like small lanterns.

Uncle Yi was cooking in the kitchen, and the smoke was slowly rising. The smell of the food made Wangwang scratch and roll at the door.

Everything is so peaceful and beautiful.

Except for Zhong Yiqiu.

Xiao Mingye brought back the school video recorder, connected it to the TV, and gave Zhong Yiqiu three days to learn and practice radio gymnastics.

Zhong Yiqiu originally thought that radio gymnastics wouldn't be too difficult, so just follow along.

I didn't realize it until I was learning, it was too difficult!Stretch your left hand to step your right leg, stretch your right hand to step your left leg... After a while, he couldn't tell the left from the right.

I cursed Xiao Mingye countless times in my heart.

"You're doing really well!"

Zhong Yiqiu was worrying, when she heard a voice behind her, she knew who it was without looking at him.

"Are you looking for your brother? He's not here." Zhong Yiqiu paused.

Yuan Yulan would come here every now and then, either to deliver food, or to help her mother pass the message, or to ask Xiao Mingye to go back.

Although Xiao Mingye has a cold face every time, and she likes to answer indifferently, she has no temper and speaks in a warm and laughing voice.

Zhong Yiqiu persuaded Xiao Mingye twice to treat his sister better, but Xiao Mingye pretended not to hear.

"He went home?" Zhong Yiqiu was puzzled, why did he come to look for someone after returning home.

Yuan Yulan wore a red coat. She was different from other rural girls Zhong Yiqiu had seen. She was dressed in fashion, with fair skin and a soft figure. She didn't look like a worker.

"He went to help my elder brother grow wheat, and he will come back after work is over, and I will wait for him here," she explained.

Zhong Yiqiu picked up a chair for her to sit on, "He should go home first, he will always go home for dinner after work is late."

"No, my mother cooked a special meal for him today, and if I tell him something, he will definitely not return." Yuan Yulan brushed her hair.

Zhong Yiqiu didn't answer, although he couldn't figure out why Xiao Mingye and his mother were so hostile, but he didn't want to discuss other people's family affairs behind his back.

Yuan Yulan suddenly said, "My brother hates my mother, so he doesn't talk to my mother."

Zhong Yiqiu was stunned, not understanding why she suddenly talked to herself.

"Last year, my elder brother was demobilized from the army. He had been assigned a job in the provincial capital, but it was at the railway bureau. My mother was unwilling when she found out and wanted him to come back. My brother refused to listen, and my mother drank pesticides when she was in a hurry. I was rescued and forced my brother back, but I didn't talk to her very much." Yuan Yulan said softly.

Zhong Yiqiu was shocked, he really couldn't figure it out, "The Provincial Railway Bureau is such a good job, why must you let him come back?"

Yuan Yulan sighed, "I want my brother to be by my side so that I can take care of him in the future."

Zhong Yiqiu originally wanted to ask, "Don't you have two sons?" Turning her head, she remembered that she only had Xiao Mingye as her own son, and although Yuan Yulan was also her own, she was a daughter.

He felt melancholy in his heart, he couldn't imagine how dejected and powerless Xiao Mingye would be when he compromised.

Seeing his frowning expression, Yuan Yulan thought that his relationship with Xiao Mingye was pretty good, so she was so worried about his affairs, and then comforted, "This is how the countryside is, ignorance!"

Zhong Yiqiu didn't want to talk any more, these things were finished in one or two sentences from other people's mouths, or sighed or sighed, but who can truly understand how Xiao Mingye, who is in it, feels overwhelmed and helpless .

Xiao Mingye nearly bowed his head and entered the Moon Gate, and saw Zhong Yiqiu wearing a tracksuit, standing with his hands down, his eyes staring absentmindedly.

Yuan Yulan sat quietly, raised her head slightly, and looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Mingye asked her.

Yuan Yulan hurriedly lowered her head, cast her eyes left and right, and said, "Are you going to the county tomorrow? Mom told you to go to the county hospital to buy medicine for dad."

As he spoke, he took out a stacked piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Mingye, "Here is the list."

Xiao Mingye didn't answer, he just came back from work, he was still sweating hot, but his tone was cold, "Where's the money?"

Yuan Yulan bit her lip, her complexion gradually changed, the corners of her brows and eyes were drawn together, and there was suppressed impatience and anger in her eyes.

Xiao Mingye slightly raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, this is what his younger sister was like.

Zhong Yiqiu was so embarrassed that she couldn't stand anymore, she moved two steps to find something for herself to do.

"Yiqiu, go to Dr. Zhang and get me some plaster, my back hurts so much." Uncle Yi saved him in time.

"Okay, I'll go now" Zhong Yiqiu replied impatiently.

"Just tell him what I use, he knows which one," Uncle Yi told him again.

"Okay—" Zhong Yiqiu has already rushed to the backyard in the past few seconds.

Xiao Mingye was vaguely hostile to his family. After hearing what Yuan Yulan said just now, it was normal to be hostile to his stepfather and his mother. Why did he do the same to his sister? Yuan Yulan was his own sister, and she grew up She is beautiful, and has a docile personality.

Zhong Yiqiu thought while walking, and sighed in her heart, hey!It's so complicated!

Turning from the backyard to the front, the door of the infirmary was half open, wondering if there was anyone there, Zhong Yiqiu took a look inside, it was getting dark, and the lights were not turned on in the room, so I couldn't see clearly.

Zhong Yiqiu knocked on the door.

"Here we come—" Doctor Zhang's voice came out.

Zhong Yiqiu took half a step back and heard footsteps coming to the door.

"Mr. Zhong, come in—" Dr. Zhang opened the door and greeted him.

"Hello, Doctor Zhang." Zhong Yiqiu went in and followed him, "Uncle Yi said that his back hurts, do you want... Teacher Liu?"

A woman came out from behind the blue curtain. It was Liu Qinghong, a third-grade math teacher. Zhong Yiqiu had attended her class.

"Ms. Zhong, take the medicine..." Liu Qinghong greeted, but lowered her head and did not look at him.

Zhong Yiqiu said: "Yes, Uncle Yi has a back pain and came to get the plaster." Seeing that Liu Qinghong was not looking well, he continued to ask, "Do you feel unwell?"

In order to get the medicine, Dr. Zhang turned on the electric light above the cabinet, and the dim light filled the room.

Liu Qinghong came from behind, covered the left side of her face, smiled and said, "Toothache, come and see."

Her voice was low and smooth, and Zhong Yiqiu almost fell asleep the first time she listened to her class.

"I'll leave after I've finished." Liu Qinghong had long hair, which was usually braided into a thick black braid, but today she tied it into a low ponytail. She stroked her hair and said to Zhong Yiqiu.

"Okay, it's getting dark, be careful" Zhong Yiqiu raised her head and told her when she went out by mistake, but saw that her face under the palm of her hand was black and blue.

I don't know if it was dark and I didn't see clearly.

After dinner in the evening, Zhong Yiqiu helped Uncle Yi apply the plaster in the room, and told him what happened in the infirmary while chatting.

After hearing this, Uncle Yi cursed with a stuffy face on the pillow, "It must be her son of a bitch who beat her up again!"

The first time I heard Uncle Yi swearing, Zhong Yiqiu was surprised, "Who hit her?"

"She's a man," Uncle Yi replied, heaving a sigh of relief and then explaining to Zhong Yiqiu, "Well, everyone around you knows about this, so be careful when I tell you, and don't ask rashly if you see him later. she."

Zhong Yiqiu was not convinced, "Who is reckless!"

Uncle Yi smiled and scoffed at him, "Don't interrupt!"

"Qinghong, she has a weak personality and timidity. Who knows that her fate will be even worse. After marrying such a man, she will beat her when she gets angry," Uncle Yi said indignantly.

"Is no one in charge? The family didn't stop him?" Zhong Yiqiu was surprised.

"Husbands and wives fight, and men beat their wives. This is a family affair, and no one else can care about it." Uncle Yi replied, and sat up and put on his clothes after putting on the plaster. It's just for that moment, it's time to fight or fight later."

"Hit often, why didn't Mr. Liu leave him?" After saying that, Zhong Yiqiu felt that he might be naive again, but in front of Uncle Yi, he had no scruples, and Uncle Yi would not laugh at him.

Uncle Yi replied, "How to leave? Divorce? This word does not exist in rural areas, at least it doesn't work now. These women may look away in the future."

Zhong Yiqiu was speechless.

Getting up early the next day to go to the county to buy sports equipment, Zhong Yiqiu got up and walked around the front and back yards, but didn't see what she was looking for.

He thought that Xiao Mingye would go to borrow the motorcycle again, and take him to the county on the motorcycle. Last night, his dream was full of wind and lightning, but he couldn't find it.

Disappointed, Zhong Yiqiu took the washbasin and went to the backyard to wash up. As soon as she passed through the small gate, she heard Wang Wang barking fiercely by the courtyard wall.

someone!

Zhong Yiqiu ran over quickly, and saw a man stretching his body beside the orange tree next to the courtyard wall while picking oranges from the tree, while stretching his legs trying to shake off Wang Wang who was biting his trouser leg.

"What are you doing!" Zhong Yiqiu shouted loudly.

The man turned his head to look at Zhong Yiqiu, and kept picking oranges in his hands, and replied quite naturally, "Pick oranges!"

Zhong Yiqiu stared, his ultimate skill is to stare, since he was a child he knew that his eyes were fierce, and the tails of his eyes were raised, which was normal when he was not emotional, but once he stared, his eyes could overwhelm others.

At this moment, it doesn't work, it's like not seeing it on the other side.

"Who are you and how did you get in?" Zhong Yiqiu rushed forward to question, his eyes widened even wider.

"Are you Zhong Yiqiu?" The other party finally stopped and asked while pulling the leaves from the orange.

He also shaved his head like Xiao Mingye, his face is not as tough as Xiao Mingye's, with a pair of deep eye sockets, clear and sharp double eyelids, he looks handsome and affectionate.

"I am, who are you?" Zhong Yiqiu heard him say his name, it should be someone nearby, and his voice was softer.

"Second brother said you were dumbfounded. I thought it was because you were dumbfounded, but I didn't expect that you look pretty good!" He looked suddenly enlightened.

Zhong Yiqiu: "..."

Zhong Yiqiu wanted to scold someone, but after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't swear, she silently warned herself, keep it for now, scolding should also scold Xiao Mingye!

"Why did you come so early?" the culprit asked lazily with the mood of getting up early.

"I didn't sleep last night, so I came over after the show," the opposite replied.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Mingye finally found out that something was wrong with Zhong Yiqiu.

Zhong Yiqiu turned her head and said with a smile, "I'm practicing! In the morning, luck can train the brain, and I want to make myself look less stupefied!"

Xiao Mingye: "..."

"Gao Xiaobao, you're the only one with a cheap mouth!"
