Chapter 56: After the Rainstorm
In the early morning of the second day after the rainstorm, the courtyard of the school was full of stagnant water, and Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo began to sweep the water out early, and they barely closed their eyes last night.
The deepest part of the water overflowed the calves of the two men.
"I don't think let's sweep the water outside," Lin Ping began to talk again, "Let's just dig again, dig deeper, transform this place into a pond, plant some lotus flowers and raise some goldfish......"
Saying that, Lin Ping hummed softly: "I'm like a fish in your lotus pond, just to wait for the white moonlight with you......"
"You still raise goldfish? Ma Zhongguo said jokingly, bending over the broom in his hand and constantly rushing out of the water, "Hurry up, sweep these two sides, sweep a road, and the children will come to class in a while." β
"Later, you teach the children, and I will repair our house from a contact person from a nearby village. Ma Zhongguo said again.
"Good. Lin Ping nodded and agreed.
After a while, the children came to school one after another, because the mountain road was muddy after the rainstorm, and some places were even covered with mud and rocks washed down by the rain, so the mountain road became extremely difficult to walk, and the children came much later than usual today.
Because of the muddy mountain road, along the way, the children's bodies, especially the lower half of the body, seemed to be rolling in the mud, and after coming to the school, everyone looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, of course, Lin Ping himself was not much better, and he was also dirty when he was sweeping the water.
Ma Zhongguo hurriedly went back to the house, took out towels, hot water, etc., and scrubbed the children.
Lin Ping looked at the students in front of him, and admired this group of children very much, they had to walk more than ten miles to school at the farthest, and the nearest one also needed three or four miles, Lin Ping thought that there would be several children who would not come to school today, but after a closer look, except for Wang Yige and Liu Xiangqian, who had not yet come, the others had already come.
After a while, Liu Xiangqian also came.
As soon as they saw Liu Xiangqian, everyone smiled and bent over.
"Liu Xiangqian, have you learned from your sow to roll in the mud pit?" Feng Xiaoxiao's tears were about to come out.
"I feel ...... forward Should...... It wasn't intentional, eighty percent fell into the pit. Liu Weiguo also laughed breathlessly.
"Alas, don't mention it. Liu Xiangqian said depressedly, "I didn't have long eyes when I walked, my feet slipped, and I fell into the mud puddle all of a sudden, which was really unlucky." β
"Why don't you go home and change your clothes? Lin Ping said.
"It's okay," Liu Xiangqian said and took off his shirt, "It's a big deal to go to class bare-chested." β
"That's not good!" Lin Ping said solemnly, "You wait for me to get you a piece of clothing." β
Lin Ping ran back to the house and took out a piece of clothing he bought in the city last time and gave it to Liu Xiangqian to put on, and then said: "It is very uncivilized to be bare-chested, don't be shirtless in front of the public in the future, you are not a peasant uncle who works in the field under the scorching sun and sweats a lot, you are a student, you have to look like a student." β
"Okay. Liu nodded forward, and then put on the clothes that Lin Ping gave him.
At this time, eight of the nine students had arrived, and there was still one Wang Yige missing, and Lin Ping was a little worried.
After a while, Ma Zhongguo said: "I'll go into the village to see the people who are looking for help to repair the house, and by the way, I will go to Wang Yige's house to see what's going on." You take the kids to class. β
"Okay, Mr. Ma, be careful on the road. Lin Ping admonished.
"Hmm. β
Ma Zhongguo nodded and agreed to lead the donkey out of the classroom, and just as he was about to leave, Wang Yige, who had his head down, came from outside.
"Yige, you're here, what's wrong?"
Lin Ping found that Wang Yige had traces of crying on his face, so he asked with concern.
Wang Yige wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Yesterday, my grandfather's house collapsed and injured my grandfather's leg. β
When Ma Zhongguo heard this, he asked anxiously: "How is it? Yan is not serious, where is your grandfather?"
Wang Yige said: "My grandfather was sent to the doctor in Dongliuzhuang by my uncle. β
"Are your parents not at home? Then you don't have to go to class today and go and accompany your grandfather." Lin Ping said.
Wang Yige shook his head resolutely: "My grandfather asked me to come to class, he said that my study is important, and he is fine with my grandmother and uncle." β
Lin Ping touched Wang Yige's head with emotion and said, "Okay, then let's go back to the classroom." β
Because of the heavy rain, although the water leakage in the classroom was not serious, it was still very wet, and Lin Ping and the children taught and studied in a difficult environment.
At noon, Ma Zhongguo came back from outside.
"How is it, when will someone come to fix it?" Lin Ping asked.
"It's not going to work for a while. Ma Zhongguo sighed and said, "This rain is a bit heavy, and several houses in the mountains have collapsed......"
It turned out that this heavy rain was not only affected by Ma Zhongguo and Lin Ping's house, but also their situation was relatively light.
"What about the villagers, there are no casualties, right?" Lin Ping asked with concern.
Ma Zhongguo shook his head with a solemn face: "I haven't heard of someone's 'accident', but several families are injured, and two serious injuries were sent down the mountain by the villagers overnight to the hospital in the town after the rain stopped." β
Lin Ping also nodded with a solemn face, and didn't say a word.
"There are several houses in the nearby villages that need to be repaired, and some of them are in worse condition than ours, so we need to wait a few days for someone to help fix the house. Ma Zhongguo said.
"Well, it's okay, these classrooms are fine, go to that classroom that you don't use and sleep for a few days. Lin Ping said.
"Well, that's all there is to it. Ma Zhongguo nodded.
In the afternoon, Lin Ping continued to take the children to class, and suddenly a system prompt sounded.
[Congratulations!Your student and alumnus 'Liu Dazhu' won the second place in the 100-meter freestyle of the junior group in the Linxi Youth Swimming Competition, and refreshed the record of the 100-meter freestyle competition in the junior group of Hanhua Province and won the best result in the history of our province. γ
γCongratulations!Your student and alumnus 'Liu Dazhu' has been selected to join the Hanhua Provincial Junior Swimming Team!γ
Hearing the system prompt, Lin Ping was overjoyed, he has been busy teaching several junior high school students these days, and he forgot to miss Liu Dazhu, a stupid child, Liu Dazhu can, sure enough, gold will always shine, it has only been more than a month, and he stood out in the municipal swimming competition and was selected to enter the provincial team!
Lin Ping's heart blossomed, as if he had been selected into the provincial swimming team.
However, Lin Ping was very puzzled, why Liu Dazhu could only win the second place? What was even more puzzled was why he could still refresh the swimming competition record in Hanhua Province and get the best result in the history of Hanhua Province after winning the second place.
First?
