Teacher Xiao Zhong's adventures in the countryside

——"This is my life!"

Zhong Yiqiu has heard this sentence said too many times by too many people. After this incident, he heard Liu Qinghong say it himself. In his heart, there was a faint anger that hates iron and steel. Definitely, but the other half is in your own hands.”

Liu Qinghong smiled wryly and shook her head, the dim light shone on half of her face, she was decadent and powerless, she sighed and said with a long breath: "The word divorce doesn't exist here... I am a woman, how can I really leave?" Living? My mother’s family can’t be relied on either.”

"You have a job, a teacher in an elementary school, and you can make a living yourself."

Zhang Ximing was dispensing the medicine in front of the medicine cabinet, and the glass medicine bottle made a knocking sound, and he came over and interjected, "Mr. Zhong, you grew up in the city and don't know much about the rural situation. Many couples have just made do with it. From the day they get married, even if these two people are tied to death, no matter whether it is good or bad, it will be a lifetime."

Zhong Yiqiu couldn't refute. Of course he understood the situation, not only in rural areas, but also in cities.His good friend in elementary school, his parents fight every day, for some reason, they even went to their campus to fight, and even his grandmother led a few uncles to beat his father... But no one said to separate , are still living together until now, and they are still restless at such an age.

He just didn't understand, didn't understand why?Why should two people who have no feelings torture each other!

But there were too many things he didn't understand, and when he got home, he encountered another one.

The six sons didn't know when they came. They sat alone at the table with a bottle of white wine in their hands. They grabbed and peeled peanuts and ate them. They were already dizzy from drinking.Uncle Yi couldn't persuade him by the side, so he could only stare.

Xiao Mingye was cooking in the kitchen. He didn't know what was fried in the pot, and the aroma was tangy!He put one hand in his trousers pocket, while frying with a shovel in the other. Zhong Yiqiu felt that my boyfriend was so handsome and charming, so he tiptoed close, put his arms around his waist, put his head on his shoulder and grinned foolishly.

Xiao Mingye turned his head and kissed him lightly on the face. Although it was a kiss that seemed like nothing, Zhong Yiqiu blushed like a monkey's buttocks, his eyes squinted, and he looked like you are shameless!

Xiao Mingye: "..."

Isn't it the hooligan you played first?

"What's wrong with the six sons?" Zhong Yiqiu asked as if nothing had happened, staring at Xiao Mingye's earlobe.

"I don't know, he was already drunk when I came back."

Zhong Yiqiu tiptoed into the pot on his back, took a sip and asked, "What's fried, it smells so good!"

"Stay away," Xiao Mingye took him half a step back, "Rabbit meat, the six sent it."

"I haven't eaten rabbit meat yet."

"Eat more later."

Zhong Yiqiu gulped and bubbled happily, squinted at Xiao Mingye's face, and kissed him roguely, he licked his lips and moved his head forward

"Qiu'er—" came the sound of the six sons crying and howling, accompanied by the sound of patting the table.

Zhong Yiqiu's heart almost stopped beating, she quickly bounced off Xiao Mingye's body, looked back and found no one, the drunk was shouting loudly in the room.

"Qiuer—"

"Qiuer—"

"Here we come," Zhong Yiqiu hurriedly agreed to run over as if urged by him, "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Zifan stared and complained inarticulately, "You went to look for second brother as soon as you came back, can't you see me? Can't you see your sixth brother in your eyes?"

Zhong Yiqiu: "..."

Uncle Yi: "Don't pay attention to him, I don't know why he's crazy today, just drink without asking!"

"It's not that I didn't say it, but you don't understand! You three bachelors, how can you understand what I'm worried about?" Liu Zi said while patting his chest angrily.

Zhong Yiqiu was unconvinced - who is talking about being a bachelor!

"Forget it, we don't want to hear what you want to say!" Uncle Yi urged him.

The six sons belched a few times in a row, and it really hit the trap, "Why are there so many things about getting married! I still want to be a bachelor, how happy! Now I'm tired and annoying!"

He has lost a lot of weight recently, and his baby face, which was always smiling in the past, often shows the troubles and helplessness of adults.Every time I go to his house, his mother complains that this marriage is really not fair until now.

Zhong Yiqiu: "If you don't like it, quit before you get married."

Uncle Yi kicked him under the table and scolded him, "Don't talk nonsense, the marriage is already engaged, and the marriage is about to happen."

"I really want to quit!" Liu Zi raised an arm and waved it exaggeratedly, "What should I do if I quit? My condition is not easy to talk about! Don't listen to my mother complaining every day, she can only bear it, if you really want to She was the first to disagree with the divorce!"

"How about that girl?" Zhong Yiqiu remembered that they hadn't seen her before.

"It's okay, life is okay, but I always feel that I can't get along with her! She takes every penny too seriously, and I feel that when I should be generous, I can't be too stingy!"

Zhong Yiqiu probably understood what he meant, it was a difference in life concept, and it might be difficult to neutralize it after marriage.

"I heard people in the village say that you have become a free laborer for her family, and you will do all the work." Uncle Yi asked him after finishing speaking, "You didn't go out to work this winter, did you?"

The six sons know how to do carpentry, and they are quite well-known around here.In previous years, winter was the busiest time. During the slack season, many people got married and had to make new furniture.During the Chinese New Year, many families will also buy some furniture. In the first two or three months, he can earn about 1000 yuan.

"I didn't go anywhere! I did all the work for her family. Today this brother repairs the pigsty, and tomorrow that brother makes furniture! Let me make a new bed for everyone in her family. Her mother said she wanted an elm one. The [-]-year-old elm tree behind my house was cut down by name! That tree was planted by my grandma when my mother married. She said that when she came to our house, it took root and blossomed just like this tree. Branches and leaves. My mother always said...to keep it for myself to make coffin boards..."

Maybe it was because of being drunk, and Liu Zi had shallow eyelids. Speaking of this aroused the grievance in his heart, his voice choked up as if he was about to cry.Both Zhong Yiqiu and Uncle Yi were angry when they heard it. It is normal for the son-in-law-to-be to help with some work, but it is too much to be greedy!

"If it doesn't work, we'll leave. You can find it again..." Uncle Yi kicked Zhong Yiqiu just now, but now he can't stand it any longer.

The six sons still wanted to drink, Zhong Yiqiu snatched the bottle away, he reacted slowly when he was drunk, and grasped aimlessly in the air with his hands, as if he was struggling.He didn't catch anything, so he lay down on the table in frustration, and said with a frown: "My mother doesn't want to quit. Everyone in the village sees our family's jokes. I have been on blind dates so many times, and people don't like it. A widowed mother is unlucky."

Zhong Yiqiu was angry again, how could a big man be trapped by these gossips, why would he marry an inappropriate and disliked person for the rest of his life?

"Eat." Xiao Mingye came in with a pot of fragrant rabbit meat, interrupting the gloomy conversation of the three.

The snow stopped on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, but the snow was too thick to go out. The three of them planned to clean up at home.As a must-have activity before the Spring Festival, cleaning was Zhong Yiqiu's favorite activity when she was a child.Not because he loves to work, but because on the day of the cleaning, his mother has to be fully armed and clean up the house inside and out. As children who are in the way, he and his sister can go out to play openly on this day, and each get Dime pocket money.When he grows up, he doesn't have this privilege anymore. His dad goes to work every year until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and sometimes he has to be on duty on New Year's Eve.As the only labor force in the family, he has to carry all kinds of heavy furniture and clean the high places that the two of them can't reach...

It was the first time to go out for the New Year, and it was the first time to clean up with someone other than mother and sister. Zhong Yiqiu finally enjoyed the privilege again after many years.Uncle Yi's leg finally healed, and he was full of energy. He cleaned up the room by himself and went to clean the kitchen without letting them interfere.Xiao Mingye cleaned his room, Zhong Yiqiu thought that although his room hadn't been lived in for a long time, it should be cleaned.

"I'll clean it up in a while." Xiao Mingye blocked him when he saw him open the door.

"I'll clean it up, I'm idle anyway."

"The water is too cold, you go deliver the eggs." Xiao Mingye ordered him.

The weather is cold and the temperature is low, the hot water will cool down in a while, and the rag will freeze hard after 10 minutes.Zhong Yiqiu came out with two bags of eggs, and the excitement that was about to overflow had no place to vent, she happily slid down the slope on the ice.

——It’s great to have a boyfriend!You don't have to do any work!

Uncle Yi marinated the eggs and packed 12 in two pockets.He first went to Yuan Yan's house to return the gift. Although he had only been there once, her house was more conspicuous outside the village. Zhong Yiqiu saw the thatched cottage surrounded by the river pond after walking a few roads.The chimney was slowly emitting white smoke, the surrounding snow was covered, and the soft morning sun dyed everything a warm yellow. Their house looked like a paradise.

I could smell a fragrance from a distance, I don't know what I was doing, the door was open but Zhong Yiqiu still knocked outside.Yuan Ronger came out and invited him in warmly. Yuan Yan was standing in front of the stove staring at the pot, and hurried to move a stool for him.Zhong Yiqiu was overwhelmed by the flattery, and first handed her the egg, saying it was something from Uncle Yi.

Sitting behind the stove is a woman holding a child and lighting a fire. From the way she is sitting, she is quite tall, with a long thin face and big eyes. The child she is holding is about three or four years old, staring at him with big eyes. .

"This is Yuan Yan's mother and her sister." Yuan Ronger introduced with a smile, and her mother smiled kindly without saying a word.

Zhong Yiqiu didn't know that Yuan Yan had a younger sister, this little girl was very cute and beautiful, and seemed to have normal intelligence... What a rare luck.

"Hello." Zhong Yiqiu bowed slightly to say hello, then took the little girl's hand and shook it.

"Hahahaha!" Yuan Ronger laughed happily, "You take some of the crispy fruit we just fried."

No matter how much Zhong Yiqiu refused, he didn't hide, and he stuffed a big bag.During Chinese New Year in rural areas, every household will fry crispy fruit, which can be put in sugar or salt, and wrapped with sesame seeds. It is crispy and sweet, and it is the favorite of children.

Returning the gift and receiving it just now... Zhong Yiqiu was annoyed while eating while walking on the road, planning to put down the eggs and run away when he arrived at Yuan Bing's house!

Yuan Bing's house and Yuan Yan's house are far away, one family is in the east and the other is in the west. In the past, they had to go through the whole village.Zhong Yiqiu didn't wear it from the village, and walked around to the main road in front of the village. The sun was out today, and there were many people chatting and basking in the sun on the village road. When they met, they asked for various polite greetings. They all like to make jokes and tease him, I really can't stand it!

After walking past the wooden bridge, and then walking a few hundred meters, Zhong Yiqiu stopped and wrapped the crispy fruit first. The more delicious it was, the more delicious it became, and he couldn't stop. He was worried that Xiao Mingye would run out of food after eating too much.

"Ms. Zhong—"

Zhong Yiqiu subconsciously turned around and agreed, but regretted it as soon as he turned his head halfway, because he recognized that the voice was Zhao Honghua.

"I thought I was wrong, but I didn't expect it was really you!" Zhao Honghua said happily as she came out from a side road.

"Hello." Zhong Yiqiu greeted politely.

She was wearing a dark red old-fashioned jacket, embroidered with exquisite gold thread, as if it was left by the older generation of the family, and she added an old-fashioned style to it.

"What are you doing in the village?" Zhao Honghua asked in a low voice, mixing her hands together.

"Go to the student's house to visit." Zhong Yiqiu immediately continued after answering: "I'm fine, I'll go first, there's another family that didn't go."

As he said that, he was about to turn around and leave. Zhao Honghua hurriedly called out, "Cui Cui, you tell me how you treat her every day. I thought about how to thank you. Last time I invited you to my house for dinner, you didn't go. I will go tonight." Alright, I'll go back and get some food now."

"No need, I appreciate the kindness." Zhong Yiqiu said firmly.

Zhao Honghua looked disappointed, she lowered her head in shock for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Why don't I take Cuicui to your place for dinner tonight, I don't thank you, I feel really sorry."

Zhong Yiqiu: "..."
