Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo walked out of the chicken shed with Ah Suogang, and at this time, Feng Chunxiu, who was scrubbing the cooking utensils outside the room, saw Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo standing up from their seats.

Wang Xinming, who was talking and laughing with the women on the side, also closed his mouth and stopped smiling, they all knew that Mr. Ma Zhongguo was crying for his dead old donkey in the chicken shed, and they also saw that Ma Zhongguo's mood at this time was indeed not very good.

Wang Xinming opened his mouth and wanted to say a few words to comfort Ma Zhongguo, but then Feng Chunxiu spoke first: "Principal Lin, Teacher Ma, what ...... What about donkeys?"

After Feng Chunxiu asked this sentence, everyone looked at Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo, this was not only the question that Feng Chunxiu wanted to ask, but also the question they wanted to ask.

Lin Ping didn't answer and looked at Ma Zhongguo on the side, this old donkey was Ma Zhongguo's personal belongings after all, and he had no right to dispose of it.

So everyone was waiting for Ma Zhongguo to answer, although the donkey was dead, it was cruel to say that its body was still valuable.

Is it buried or eaten?

For others, there is no doubt that they are inclined to the latter, after all, dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat in the ground, it is rare for everyone who can't even afford to eat pork to encounter a donkey and die, and no one wants to eat a mouthful of donkey meat and drink a mouthful of hot donkey soup.

And for Ma Zhongguo, this is a very cruel choice.

Ma Zhongguo's calloused big hand tightly grasped Ah Suo's immature little hand, and Lin Ping could see that Ma Zhongguo's heart was full of entanglements and difficult choices.

After all, Ma Zhongguo is not an authentic and simple mountain man, he is a foreign educated youth, he was also well educated when he was young, and experienced the hardships and setbacks of life, he still has the sensitivity and so-called hypocrisy of a cultural person in his heart, even if he has been in this mountain for more than 30 years, he has almost no friends, because he still has an intellectual reserve and high-mindedness, and cannot completely integrate into the mountain people with a low level of education.

The mountain people don't like to listen to what he says, and he thinks the mountain people are too rude to what he says.

And the old donkey is the only object who can listen to him at night and accompany him on the rugged and bumpy roads in the mountains for so many years, and Ma Zhongguo has long regarded the old donkey as his friend.

Eating the old donkey, for Ma Zhongguo, it would be a conscience condemnation.

Ma Zhongguo's heart struggled for a long time, and finally looked at everyone indifferently and smiled and said: "What else can I do? Such a big donkey is a waste when it is buried, it is rare for the big guys and children to eat donkey meat, so they will stew it and eat it separately." ”

In the face of the collective interests of reality, Ma Zhongguo still compromised his conscience, after all, he also came from that special period when he could not afford to eat, and knew how shameful it was to waste food; he also saw the hard life of students in the school, and some students' families could even eat a meal of meat for several months, Ma Zhongguo felt that there was no reason and no choice to let such a donkey be buried in vain.

After all, Ma Zhongguo is an old man, he knows that he has some feelings, and he always has to give in to reality.

And after saying that he stewed the old donkey and ate it in parts, Ma Zhongguo's whole person seemed to be a few years older, and he almost stumbled and fell when he took a step forward, but Lin Ping hurriedly held him up.

Lin Ping helped Ma Zhongguo to walk to the classroom, and then said, "Teacher Ma, why don't you go back to the dormitory to rest first, and I'll take a look at the classes in your class." ”

Ma Zhongguo shook his head resolutely and did not speak.

Lin Ping looked at Ma Zhongguo's appearance, and his heart stinged inexplicably, and then he said: "This old donkey, the school will buy it at the market price, and I will make up the money to you when the time comes." ”

Ma Zhongguo stopped, looked at Lin Ping and said with a smile: "College students, let's two, who is with whom, no." It's useless for me to give me money, now I have food and a place to live, the wind is not afraid of the cold, the rain will not get wet, and I can continue to teach students, I am very satisfied. ”

Lin Ping and Ah Suo continued to walk forward with Ma Zhongguo, and then Ah Suo said: "Grandpa Ma, Mr. Lin gave you money, and we can buy another little donkey to raise." ”

After hearing this, Lin Ping smiled and said, "Yes, what Ah said is right, I will buy you a little donkey another day." ”

As a result, Ma Zhongguo shook his head a little coldly: "Don't be, the meaning is different." Now that the school conditions are so good, I don't need a donkey anymore. And ......"

Ma Zhongguo paused, sighed and said, "I don't want to send it away anymore." ”

Ma Zhongguo's tone was bleak in the cold style of early winter, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Once the sea was difficult to turn into water, for Ma Zhongguo, even a bloody BMW could not replace the position of the old donkey in his heart.

At noon, the fourth class was only halfway through, and the whole school could not sit still, because the aroma of donkey meat wafted from the room to the whole campus.

Because it is difficult for the children in the mountains to eat meat, they are particularly sensitive to the aroma of meat, and they are in class one by one, their nostrils are stirring and greedily inhaling the aroma wafting from the room, and they have no intention of going to class.

"I was paying attention. Lin Ping clapped his hands, and then jokingly said, "If I find out who is not attentive, they will not be able to eat today's meal after a while." ”

Finally stayed up to the end of the fourth period, the children couldn't wait to take out the lunch box, and then followed their respective teachers behind the queue to go to the room, they couldn't wait to be able to leave the team and fly to the room to eat the fragrant donkey meat immediately in front of the window, but unfortunately since the last time the queue incident happened, Lin Ping has formulated a very strict system of cooking according to the class, and no student dares to leave the team without permission to violate discipline.

The meaning of supervision is to prevent students from wasting, if there is student waste, it will be recorded by the teacher and reported to Lin Ping, and the recorded students will be reduced at the time of the meal.

The students of Chungkook Hope School are not qualified to waste food, and the children who come out of Kushan have no reason to waste food. If you feel that you can't finish eating, or you don't want to eat with a stomachache, you need to tell the teacher or aunt in advance that you can eat as much as you want, and if you don't have enough to make up, the school will resolutely put an end to waste.

And the students of Chungkook Hope School are indeed very frugal or very good at eating, and the phenomenon of wasting food is almost zero. If Chung Kook wanted the school to have a dog, the dog would probably be hungry and cry because there would be no leftovers for him to eat.

And today's donkey meat, it is even more unlikely that anyone will waste it.

On the way back to the classroom, the students couldn't help but take a few sips of the delicious donkey broth, and they didn't even care about burning their mouths.
