The next morning, before class, Principal Zheng called everyone to a meeting and told everyone about Li Yunhuan's dropout, reminding everyone that this was just a sign, and there might be more after the Chinese New Year, especially the older students in the fifth and sixth grades. After the new year, I went out to work with others.

"Announce two more decisions—" Principal Zheng snorted and drank half a cup of hot tea, and while everyone was waiting, he slowly put the lid on the cup and said, "This month is cold and busy, and the physical education class for the final exam is also suspended. The matter is about the physical education teacher Xiao Mingye, he is not in school this month, so of course his salary cannot be paid to him, and it will be confiscated for school funds..."

Last night, the funeral music in Yuanjiazhuang played all night, Zhong Yiqiu had nightmares as soon as he closed his eyes, he was so scared that he didn't dare to sleep at the moment, he was stupefied and sleepy at the moment. After thinking about it, he probably understood what Principal Zheng meant, and someone probably suggested to him——Xiao Mingye still gets paid if he doesn't go to work!There is really no such reason, although the school did not allow him to attend classes.Principal Zheng made this decision in front of all the teachers at the meeting, one is to silence the public, and the other is to prevent people with good intentions from taking advantage of this loophole, and it is also well-intentioned.

Zhong Yiqiu felt sorry for the one month's salary but also thanked Principal Zheng, and secretly winked at him and smiled.

Principal Zheng saw his excitement just now, gave him an annoyed look, and continued: "The second thing is about Principal Yuan, he has been ill for the past two or three months and has not been to work, and the school's art class has also been suspended. He was sick and should not have deducted his wages, but Principal Yuan himself stated that all his wages for the past few months will be donated to the school."

The audience was in an uproar. Everyone has always respected Uncle Yi. He is single and has no family. He spends almost all his time and energy in school. Last time, he used the harvest of the field behind the school as a student incentive fund, and now he is sick. Spending so much money without receiving salary... Everyone feels uncomfortable and admires it very much.

"But..." Principal Zheng managed to get rid of it. He was quite satisfied with the commotion caused, and ended with a smile, "Principal Yuan's devotion to the school over the years is obvious to all. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I think I will only accept him for a month. The salary is used as school funds, and the rest is still paid to him...Do you have any opinions?"

"no!"

Zhong Yiqiu yelled the loudest. He had been here for half a year, and it was the first time he heard this group of teachers answer in unison. There was no hypocrisy and sincerity on everyone's face, and it was a recognition and affirmation from the heart.

All this is in exchange for Uncle Yi's sincere treatment of everyone.

We made an appointment on Wednesday to ask Gao Xiaobao to drive Uncle Yi to go to acupuncture. Zhong Yiqiu and Li Hongfei waited for the whole morning to change classes and he didn't come. He hurried over at noon and said that he forgot to go to bed this morning...

Zhong Yiqiu heard him talk about staying up late at night several times, but he couldn't figure out what the post office was doing all night?Seeing him now, he looked tired again, his deep eye sockets were more sunken, and he was visibly thinner.

"Help me serve a bowl of rice. I haven't eaten since last night." He shouted as he entered the yard.

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

Gao Xiaobao stretched her waist and let out a long sigh of relief without answering. She pulled Zhong Yiqiu's chair and sat down, and lazily raised her finger to Lin Yufang next to her, "Whose one belongs to you?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Uncle Yi scolded, "This is Lin Yufang, a salesperson in the shopping mall in the town, and now works in the village supply and marketing cooperative."

He is Xiao Mingye's friend who comes here often and is very familiar with him, and Uncle Yi talks to him very casually, Gao Xiaobao nodded and yawned again.

Zhong Yiqiu came out and put the bowl in front of him and glared at him. What he said just now was too rude to the girl, and he humiliated Lin Yufang for no reason.In contrast, Lin Yufang was much more magnanimous, she didn't even roll her eyes at him, seeing Zhong Yiqiu fighting for her, she smiled and comforted him instead.

"Is it safe for you to drive like this?" Zhong Yiqiu was worried about his state.

"Who are you making fun of!" Gao Xiaobao sneered, taking two mouthfuls of rice, "Whether it's a bicycle, a motorcycle or a car, I haven't lost to anyone except Xiao Mingye!"

Zhong Yiqiu is 1 unconvinced - you haven't compared me yet!

He just couldn't make a sound in his mind, but Lin Yufang next to him stood up and straightened her clothes gracefully after eating, and was about to leave, then turned around and said, "Competing with Xiao Mingye, you don't just lose in driving."

After Lin Yufang finished speaking, she left gracefully, leaving behind the four stunned people at the dinner table!

"Who is she talking about?" Gao Xiaobao was at a loss and couldn't believe it.

Zhong Yiqiu had mixed feelings in her heart, the sour and sweet ones were agreeing with Lin Yufang's words, and the bitter and spicy ones were because this girl's strength should not be underestimated!

I had already changed classes in the morning, and I really couldn’t leave in the afternoon. In the end, Gao Xiaobao could only take Uncle Yi with him. Zhong Yiqiu went to find Liu Zi to ask if he had time, but his mother said that Liu Zi went to work at his fiancée’s house again. Already alive, the girl's second elder brother asked him to help in repairing the pigsty.Zhang Hongying held back her anger and finally found a suitable person to confide in. Zhong Yiqiu was not from the village or a friend of Liu Zi. She was not afraid of being laughed at.Zhong Yiqiu also felt that it was unfair, but he was naturally afraid of this kind of complicated human relationship, so he just ran away in a panic when he was about to go to class.

In the end, I really complied with that sentence, and I came to whatever I was afraid of.Yuan Baolin has been busy with funerals at home these past few days and didn’t go to work. He came to the office suddenly in the afternoon, gave out a round of cigarettes, and then smiled and said that he would invite the teachers to his house to participate in the funeral “banquet”...

Zhong Yiqiu didn't understand the rules here, glanced at the others and politely agreed to go there at night.As soon as Yuan Baolin left, the atmosphere changed immediately. People were angry, threw things, cursed, laughed, in short, all kinds of dissatisfaction filled the entire office.

"I've never seen such a shameful thing. What's the difference between asking us for money!"

"If he asks his colleagues to talk about the wedding or the happy event of the child's birthday, why would the dead ask us to do it!"

"What else can I do? Let you give gifts!"

"It's okay to give gifts if you have a good relationship together. How can you get everything in one go?"

.....

Zhong Yiqiu held the pen and couldn't continue writing. After listening to their discussion carefully, he probably understood the meaning. He was also very puzzled. He and Yuan Baolin were not familiar with each other and didn't say many words. He just invited himself to a banquet at night just now. don't know.

"Principal, what do you think we should do? He can't stop after he started this!" Lao Gao directly questioned Principal Zheng angrily.

"What else can I do? They came to invite our group, how can we meet if we don't go?"

Yan Shuhua accused: "That should be divided into relatives and estrangements. In the past, there was no relationship. I gave him a gift today. In the future, do we have to invite him for everything in our family?"

"Exactly!" Lao Gao finished smoking a cigarette and put it on again, "Let's not talk about it, they are all from nearby villages, I can get it back after I send money to him, what about teachers like Zhong and Wang?" What to do? He hasn’t had a meal, so hurry up to get money and go to his house for a meal!”

Zhong Yiqiu and Wang Wenjun were suddenly named, they looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

"Okay!" Principal Zheng was annoyed by the noise, "Go if you want to go, don't go if you don't want to, what's so noisy about how simple it is!"

Zhong Yiqiu saw their faces full of righteous indignation in the afternoon and thought that there would not be many people going. He heard Uncle Yi's words and went there with Wang Wenjun and Li Hongfei. When he got to the school gate, the flashlight illuminated them and stood in a group, except for Teacher Zhang Guoyan. We are all assembled here to go together!

"I thought they wouldn't go." Zhong Yiqiu whispered to Li Hongfei as the three walked behind the line.

"What they say is what they say and what they do. These people value face more than anything else."

Wang Wenjun laughed at Zhong Yiqiu, "You still talk about others, you don't want to go either!"

Zhong Yiqiu shrinks her neck, "I really don't know him well, and I'm not afraid of spending money..."

"Are you afraid of death?"

"no……"

"Are you afraid of ghosts?" Wang Wenjun stared sideways at him in disbelief.

Li Hongfei saw Zhong Yiqiu walking forward with his hands in the pockets of his down jacket with his shoulders shrugged. The closer he got to the village, the more piercing the sad voice of Suona, and the heavier his footsteps. He patted his arm kindly and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, there are so many people here." Woolen cloth."

"You are still a people's teacher! You are still a college student! You are still studying physics! You have no scientific awareness at all, yet you are afraid of ghosts!" As a Chinese teacher, Wang Wenjun opened his mouth to compare sentences.

"Hurry up and shut up!" Li Hongfei pushed Zhong Yiqiu across the middle.

Uncle Yi is right, the funeral is indeed very big, there are two banquets for the funeral, tonight and tomorrow at noon, more than a dozen tables of guests hula-la have been placed from the front of the door to the main road, the high stage of singing and the music of the band The field occupies a large area, and it is very lively like a game.From a distance, seeing bright lights and people everywhere, Zhong Yiqiu dared not separate from Li Hongfei, the funeral rules are strict, they are Yuan Baolin’s colleagues, they can’t be far away relatives, and of course the place to eat is also arranged far away, Zhong Yiqiu Boldly raised his head and looked in front of the door, he could only see a fire at the door of the main room, which consisted of ever-burning candles and paper money that could not be extinguished, and the outline of the coffin could be vaguely seen.

Sitting outside at night shivering from the cold, waiting for almost half an hour before the banquet started, Zhong Yiqiu's ears were almost deaf from the noise of the musical instruments, thinking that anyway, the gift money had already been handed back and forgot.

"Why don't we have the dinner yet? I'm starving to death!" Wang Wenjun was even more impatient, he couldn't stand the cold and stood up and jumped around.

The next table looked like people from the village, and an older woman answered quickly, "Why don't the key people come to the table!"

"What key person?"

"You are not from our place, you young girl, wait for Qian wife! If Qian wife doesn't come, let alone start the banquet, tomorrow's burial will be a problem!"

These words successfully aroused Zhong Yiqiu's curiosity. Ever since he came here, he has been hearing people say that Qianpozi is a god. They all believed in her deeply, and really didn't understand the reason behind it.With so many people waiting for her alone, it seems that Mrs. Qian has a lot of status in the village.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, I heard a message from someone in front that Mrs. Qian was invited, and the banquet can begin.Zhong Yiqiu stretched her neck to look into the crowd, wanting to see the true face of this goddess, but she only saw layers of figures.

"That's the one!" Li Hongfei bent down and pointed to him through the gaps between the people, "The one in the floral padded jacket, the one with the basin in his hand."

Zhong Yiqiu looked along his fingers, and saw a fat old lady holding a big basin in her hand from a distance, and a huge pig's head was placed in the basin, she was laughing and didn't know what to say.
