Teacher Xiao Zhong's adventures in the countryside

Zhong Yiqiu always felt that Fang Tiandong had noticed something, but he didn't make it too obvious, he just bought a dress for Xiao Mingye, and he also bought it for Zhou Lvshu.How could a normal man think in such a direction?Even if there is admiration in his eyes, no one would think that the one he admires is actually a man.

Book stalls should be the most unpopular in the bazaar, they are crowded out on a narrow street, half of the street sells books and half of the street is a livestock market, the whole street is suffocated by the smell of filth and feces no one.

I looked around and didn’t find the books I needed, most of them were fairy and ghost books and some adult books... Fang Tiandong found a few old comic books "Water Margin" in front of an old man's booth, Zhong Yiqiu saw that his face was still faint but The eyes are bright and the corners of the mouth are tightly pursed, guessing that he likes it very much in his heart, he doesn't care if there is a strange and unpleasant smell of oil on the book, he gently smoothes the folded corners with his thin white fingers.

A few books cost only [-] cents, which is no match for a bowl of tofu on the street, the two of them smiled helplessly.

After wandering around for a while, they didn't come across any good books. The two of them were going to the post office to meet everyone before having dinner together.Turning the corner of the street, Zhong Yiqiu glanced casually at both sides, turned the corner and walked seven or eight steps. He suddenly stopped as if he had been acupunctured, his eyes stared blankly, and he hurriedly turned around and ran back.

Fang Kuidong didn't know what was wrong with him, so he quickly followed behind him.

A small booth in the corner is supported by a small square table. An old woman in her 70s and [-]s sits dozing off at the table with her hands in her sleeves. On one side of the table are a few books such as Zhou Yi and gossip, and on the other side is a large book. An iron box with a metal cylinder on top of it.

Zhong Yiqiu's heart was beating wildly, squatting down and tremblingly touching the cold outer body of the cylinder, Fang Tiaodong couldn't tell what it was, but felt that Zhong Yiqiu seemed to be a different person, with a frenzied gleam in his eyes.

"How much is this...?" His voice was so tense that it was hoarse.

The old lady opened her eyes to look at him, stretched out a withered hand that only had wrinkled skin, and gestured a few times, "1000 yuan."

Fang Coltsfoot was taken aback. This thing looks old at first glance, but it is still worth 1000 yuan?

"An automatic tracking astronomical telescope with an aperture of 80 mm is worth the price!" Zhong Yiqiu murmured.

He majored in applied physics when he went to college. When he first learned about astrophysics in his freshman year, he couldn't stop. Although he couldn't make it a major, it became his greatest interest and dream.

"If you have money, you may not be able to buy it!" The old woman said, sucking her nose that was about to fall, "My old man asked someone to bring it back from Nanjing when he was alive."

"OK?"

"It's intact! The old man is as precious as his grandson."

Zhong Yiqiu held it in her hands and was reluctant to let it go, knowing in her heart that she couldn't afford it, even if she could afford 1000 yuan to do many things, she still couldn't afford to spend this luxury.

"Since it's such a treasure, why sell it?" Fang Cui Dong asked helpfully.

"The old man is dead, and I'm going to go to my son's house in the provincial capital to take care of me. These things are troublesome, so I'll sell them if I can."

Zhong Yiqiu hugged the metal cylinder, struggling in her heart and still unable to let go, tentatively asked, "Old woman, where do you live now?"

"county seat."

"I don't have the money to buy it now..." Zhong Yiqiu bit her lower lip, her eyes begging, "But I like this telescope very much, can you keep it for me, I will definitely buy it if I raise enough money."

"That can't be done!" The old woman waved her hand, "I'll leave next spring, and I'll keep you. If you don't want me to hurry, who will you sell to?"

"I will definitely buy it! I can pay you a deposit." Zhong Yiqiu implored urgently.

Standing behind Fang Kuidong, he wanted to open his mouth several times to say that I would lend you money, but he held back, their relationship is not that far and this is also Zhong Yiqiu's dignity, he has his own plans.

"I'll be leaving in April next spring..." The old lady was moved by his enthusiasm and hesitated.

Fang Kui Dong interjected, "Anyway, you can't sell it. People who don't understand this thing can't spend so much money to buy it. Besides, your wife is such a treasure, and she definitely wants it to end up in the hands of someone who cherishes it."

It was the first time he said so many words, and Zhong Yiqiu was moved incoherently, "Yes! Astronomy is also my interest, and I will definitely protect him and continue your wife's dream."

"Okay!" The old lady hesitated and finally agreed, "I'll write you an address, if you don't pick it up before mid-March, I'll find someone to sell it."

"Thank you! Thank you!" Zhong Yiqiu bowed to her excitedly, "I will definitely buy it!"

He carefully put away the note and put it in his inner pocket, reluctantly put down the metal cylinder, went out and looked back.

Fang Tiaodong felt slightly sore in his heart, and asked softly, "Are you studying physics?"

"Well, the major is applied physics, and astrophysics is an elective. There are not many such telescopes in our school." Zhong Yiqiu couldn't stop talking about these things.

Fang Kuidong nodded. He guessed in his heart that since Zhong Yiqiu studied physics at university, how could he go to a rural elementary school?But he is a sensible person, and he won't ask more questions unless others tell him.

Just entering the yard of the post office, I saw two semi-old motorcycles parked inside, one red and black and the other yellow and white. Zhou Lushu and Xiao Mingye were squatting beside the car, not knowing what to discuss.

Zhong Yiqiu liked it, and asked Zhou Lushu in amazement, "You bought two motorcycles!"

Zhou Lvshu was smoking a cigarette and when Fang Kuipong came in, he immediately threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out, laughing, "There is another one from your house."

Zhong Yiqiu: "..."

Xiao Mingye stood up and pointed to the yellow and white car, "I bought it."

"How much?" Zhong Yiqiu was dumbfounded, and asked after walking around the car.

"Two 1000 yuan! How about it? I negotiated the price!" Zhou Lvshu rushed to claim credit.

Fang Coltsfoot: "..."

"Is there any problem with being so cheap?"

Xiao Mingye: "I checked it, and there are no major problems. There are some small things that need to be repaired."

Zhong Yiqiu was excited and distressed about the money. After contracting the mountain, she had to borrow money, but it was inconvenient to do things without transportation.

"Buy clothes?" Zhou Lvshu took the bag from Fang Kuipong's hand and opened it, "You bought it for me?"

As he spoke, he took out his clothes and put them on his body. Seeing Zhong Yiqiu carrying the same bag, Xiao Mingye thought he had bought it too. Zhong Yiqiu didn't dare to watch him bow his head and tie the bag and hang it on the motorcycle.

"It's so pretty!" Zhou Lushu put it on and smugly looked at the car mirror.

"Let me tell you something." Fang Tiaodong called him.

"What's the matter?"

Fang Kuidong moved a wooden chair in the yard and sat down, raised Erlang's legs and shook his neck comfortably, "Are the big purchasers in the orchard looking for someone to deliver the goods?"

Zhong Yiqiu's heart moved when he heard him say that, although Fang Tiandong and Zhou Lvshu were like a family, they were able to directly talk about what they had promised her just now in front of them, which showed that he really took it to heart.

Zhou Lvshu was even more surprised, "Why did you remember to ask this? You didn't even bother to listen to what I said before."

"Don't talk nonsense! Do you?"

"Yes," Zhou Lvshu took off his new clothes and put on the padded jacket just now, "It's almost Chinese New Year, and the big bosses in the north want a lot of goods, and they don't have enough manpower. I want to find some people who can take care of things."

"Take him to try." Fang Tiaodong lifted his chin towards Xiao Mingye.

Xiao Mingye: "..."

Zhou Lvshu's inquisitive eyes glanced back and forth between Zhong Yiqiu and Fang Kuantong, then turned to Xiao Mingye, and said meaningfully, "Don't talk—you're really good! The road to the north is far and difficult, and people are needed, but let's... They're looking for someone with a bit of skill."

"Is there any danger?" Zhong Yiqiu hurriedly asked, and added a little unconvinced, "He was a soldier."

"Then you don't need to ask!" Zhou Lvshu clapped his hands, "Who else is you!"

Xiao Mingye didn't say a word and there was no expression on his face, Zhong Yiqiu couldn't guess what he was thinking.

"Let me tell you—" Zhou Lvshu said as if he hadn't thought about it while riding on a motorcycle: "This job is hard work. If you run back and forth for half a month, it will definitely be no problem to earn 1000 yuan by the New Year."

"Okay." Xiao Mingye agreed, "I'll try it tomorrow, thank you Brother Zhou."

Fang Coltsfoot: "..."

Zhong Yiqiu: "...When did you become Brother Zhou?"

When Wang Wenjun and the six sons came back, they went to a dumpling stand outside for dinner. Fang Tiaodong wanted to eat tofu and Zhou Lvshu went to buy him a bowl.

When the six sons saw the motorcycle, they felt itchy and wanted to buy it, but he was only engaged and would spend money on getting married next year, so he dare not spend a penny casually now.Xiao Mingye saw what he was thinking and said, "This one is enough." The six sons got excited and insisted on riding back. Wang Wenjun also wanted to ride for a ride. He bought a lot of clothes and hugged him Can't see where anyone is.

Zhou Lvshu sent them home and made an appointment with Xiao Mingye to go to the clinic tomorrow morning and take him to talk to the boss.Zhong Yiqiu kept an account of the money spent today in the room before realizing that he hadn’t repaid Fang’s coltsfoot, so he handed out 10 yuan to Xiao Mingye and asked him to take it back tomorrow.

"What clothes did you buy?" Xiao Mingye asked him while sitting by the bed.

Zhong Yiqiu took out the clothes, opened them and handed them to him, and quickly said three words, "Try it."

"For me?"

"Ah."

Xiao Mingye touched the smooth leather in his hands in disbelief, but he was afraid that the calluses on his palms would ruin his clothes, so he dared not touch it too much, his throat rolled and he couldn't say a word.

"Try?" Zhong Yiqiu urged him.

Xiao Mingye stood up and took off the outer padded jacket and put on the clothes, Zhong Yiqiu approached and helped him straighten the collar and cuffs, looked satisfied and said with a smile: "It fits just right."

In the shadow of the lamp, his smiling face is like a picture, like a mountain elf transforming into a human form to capture Xiao Mingye's soul. The unique strange smell of the new clothes makes Xiao Mingye feel dazed and dare not recognize him, for fear of disturbing this life-threatening monster. .

Xiao Mingye clenched his fists and loosened them several times before he raised a hand and rubbed it on top of his head. Zhong Yiqiu's heart was beating wildly and he didn't dare to move. He thought about how he would refuse if he wanted to give him the money for the clothes... …Xiao Mingye slid his hand from the top of his head to the back of his head, pressing his still-wandering head against his shoulder

Zhong Yiqiu's face was pressed against his neck, the faint smell of tobacco and the scalding hot skin burned the adhesion of each other, Xiao Mingye's palm lightly rubbed the back of his head, each and every time was like a struggle in his heart, "Thank you. "

"Second brother, I gave you the clothes. If you give the money, it means that you don't regard me as a buddy."

Xiao Mingye: "..."

When it was time to go to bed, Yiqiu was still complacent and felt that she had finally settled a concern, and successfully gave Xiao Mingye a piece of clothing.Regardless of Xiao Mingye's mood of being blocked by his words, he fell asleep within 5 minutes after lying down.

It turned out that it was destined to be a restless night, and within an hour of falling asleep, they started crying outside

The author has something to say: Thank you ladies!The second brother is about to set off again - this time he will not return empty-handed!
