Chapter 58: Listening

There is a stone lion on the left and right sides of the school entrance, which is a little smooth and dark, and it looks like it is some years old.

You can see the whole street clearly from the school gate, and the sun is shining right at the door, so it's a smart move to come here and bake the sun.

Listening to Wan Vieng, this school has some history, it is the earliest batch of schools in the whole county, and there were many students in the past.

The warm sunlight sprinkled on the face plate is very comfortable, and the surrounding water vapor can be vaguely seen evaporating, like white mist.

Under the sunshine, the streets gradually came alive and were bustling with people.

"Xiao Mu, let's go, I'll take you in and sit down. ”

Wan Rong took Xiao Mu into the school, pushed open the heavy iron door, the layout was somewhat similar to a courtyard, it was full of flowers and plants, and the sun had not yet shone in, which was a little cool.

Vang Vieng didn't know where his teacher lived, so he asked the security guard at the door.

"Hello, where does Mr. XX live? I am his former student. ”

The security guard pointed to a two-storey wooden building on the left and said, "It's in that building, turn left and go to the second floor for the second room." ”

After thanking the security guard, he went to the teacher's dormitory.

Wan Vieng probed, but didn't see his teacher either.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

Suddenly, hearing someone calling behind him, Xiao Mu turned his head to see that an old man with slightly white hair and glasses was coming towards him, carrying a Lu basin in his hand.

Xiao Mu tugged at the corner of Wan Rong's clothes and said, "Uncle, someone is here, see if he is your former teacher." ”

Sure enough, that person was Vang Vieng's teacher.

Wan Rong hurriedly stepped forward to hold the man's hand, "Oh, teacher, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still so energetic." ”

The man was a little confused, propped up his glasses with his hand, and stared at Wan Vieng for a few seconds.

"Oh~ It turned out to be Wanrong, I didn't expect you to remember me, and you didn't forget to visit me, it's rare. ”

After speaking, the teacher took Wan Rong and Xiao Mu to the room.

Put down Lu Pen, "Oh, I live alone in the dormitory, and the place is not big, so I can sit down for a while." ”

The teacher found two small stools and motioned for them to sit down.

He took two white porcelain jars from the wooden cabinet and said to the two, "Do you want tea?"

Wan Rong stepped forward and said, "Teacher, no need, no need, I'll come by myself, don't be so polite." ”

The teacher was not happy to do this, and said to him: "Son, here I am the host, you are a guest, how can there be a reason to let the guests do it themselves." ”

After speaking, the two laughed, and it seemed that Wan Vieng had a good relationship with the teacher.

After pouring the water, the teacher sat down on the bed.

At this time, Xiao Mu didn't dare to move, nor did he dare to speak, only quietly listening to the conversation between the two.

"Young man, there is a future, it seems that the past few years have been mixed well, the children are so old, time flies so fast. ”

Wan Rong shook his head and smiled and said, "Yes, time flies so fast, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and nothing has been accomplished." ”

"Oh, nothing, what do you say?" the teacher asked.

"You think this child is mine, then you are good, this child is my sister's, but he stayed in my house. ”

"Oh, how so?"

Wan Rong sighed and straightened his chest.

"Oh, that's a long story, I didn't grasp it well at the beginning, and I married a not very good family, which led to the current situation, and I blame my sister for being too stubborn. ”

"It's not that we're stubborn, we are poor in this mountainous area, and it's the same everywhere we marry, the difference is whether it's good for her. ”

Wan Rong patted his knee, "Yes, but my sister is stupid, and she won't listen to her when she goes to school." ”

The teacher smiled and said, "Hehehe, I remember that she came to school back then, but she didn't go to school after a semester, and then your father sent her back, but she said it was too difficult to go back." ”

"yes, that's stupid. ”

My mom didn't go to school?

After listening to the conversation between the two, Xiao Mu realized that his mother did not go to school well, and to put it bluntly, she was illiterate, and she felt very uncomfortable.

"By the way, tell your father, is he still in good health?" the teacher asked.

"His old man's health has declined significantly in recent years, and he is a little unable to do things, and he is old. ”

The teacher touched the little beard on his chin, "But it's not, look at me, I can't teach anymore, let alone work, but when I taught in your village in those years, your father's body was still okay, but he was too fond of drinking at that time, and those people in your village would fight after drinking, and the atmosphere was not very good." ”

Indeed, in those years, the folk customs in the ethnic minority areas were relatively fierce, drinking in large bowls, and fighting uncontrollably after drinking.

Wan Rong nodded, "Well, the folk customs were not very good in those years, and it was too common for everyone to drink alcohol, but I heard that there have been fewer in recent years, and with the development of society, people's awareness is also improving." ”

"It's time to improve, otherwise the money you make all year round won't be enough for that little money for cigarettes and alcohol, anyway, what have you been doing outside in the past few years?" the teacher asked casually.

It seemed that this made Wan Vieng a little ashamed, even ashamed, and shifted his gaze and looked out the window.

"Oh, don't mention it, I got sick in junior high school, and then I took a break from school before graduating, and I've been working outside for the past few years, without a diploma, and I can't do any long-term and stable work. ”

"Yes, it's developing fast now, unlike in those years when we graduated from primary school could substitute or something, and now the requirements for academic qualifications are getting higher and higher. ”

Xiao Mu on the side didn't speak, sometimes supporting his chin with his hands, sometimes lowering his head and pondering, which could be seen to be boring.

The teacher seemed to notice Xiao Mu's boredom, got up and took two apples out of the cabinet and gave one to Wan Rong.

When he handed it to Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu was embarrassed to take it, so he refused, but Xiao Mu wanted to eat it very much, but he was really embarrassed.

Wan Rong said fiercely: "If you take it, you can take it, don't grind." ”

Xiao Mu reached out and took the apple and held it in his arms, embarrassed to eat it in person.

The teacher smiled, "This kid is too shy." ”

"yes, I've been in the village for a long time. I rarely go outside, and I am a little timid. ”

Xiao Mu didn't choose to continue listening, but chose to come out to bask in the sun.

"Uncle, you chat, I went downstairs to bask in the sun, it felt quite cold. ”

Without Wan Rong's consent, Xiao Mu got up and walked out.

At this time, the fog has completely dispersed, and it is the best time to bake the sun, and the temperature is moderate.

Xiao Mu hummed a little song and walked to the school gate, reached out and touched the stone lion, but was yelled at by the security guard at the door: "Hey, what are you doing?"

The security guard actually didn't mean Ma Xiaomu, he just wanted to tease Xiao Mu simply, but Xiao Mu naturally thought he was scolding himself at that time.
