Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Seven Monks
"Yuemin, what you just said is true?" Jiang Biyun asked after sending Hanwa and a few other children away.
"Really. โ
"Can I apply to be a teacher?"
"You just believe I can get the school up and running again?"
"I believe it. โ
Zhong Yuemin looked at Jiang Biyun's serious appearance and said with a smile: "I also believe that you can be a good teacher." โ
"You agree to let me be a teacher?" Jiang Biyun said in surprise.
"Of course, I'm going to let everyone take turns to be teachers, and I can't leave this free labor unused. โ
"Hmph, why don't you boast about it, you have to act like a hooligan. Jiang Biyun said angrily.
"This is my nature, how comfortable it is to be a hooligan. โ

"Yuemin, Cao Gang has lice, you can shave him bald, why do we have to shave it too?" Zheng Tong complained.
Zhong Yuemin took a scraper, pressed Cao Gang's head, and said while scraping: "This lice, if you make a fuss, you will make a nest, if you don't shave now, don't blame me for the itch on your body when you turn around." โ
Zheng Tong hesitated a little when he heard this, "Do you really know how to make lice?"
"Don't talk about lice, fleas will find them when the time comes. I've heard that there isn't anyone in the village who doesn't get lice and fleas. Cao Gang said while trembling and letting Zhong Yuemin scratch his head.
Zhong Yuemin soaked the shaved hair in boiling water to prevent lice from jumping around, "Cao Gang shaved, I'm the second." โ
"Then I'm the third. Zhao Dayong continued, he spent time in the countryside as a child and knew the pain of lice.
Zheng Tong made up his mind, "I'll be the fourth." โ
"I'm fifth. โ
"Sixth. โ
"Seventh. โ
Zhong Yuemin then instructed: "Soak Cao Gang's quilt and clothes in lime water later, and disinfect them." โ
"Then where do I sleep at night?" Cao Gang said urgently.
"I have a lot of quilts here, so let's make do with it. Qian Zhimin said.
Zhang Guangzhi said: "I have surplus clothes, I can borrow you." โ
Cao Gang was so moved that tears were about to come out, "Zhimin, Guangzhi, I blamed you wrongly before, I shouldn't have made trouble with you, but now I know that you are so good to me!"
"We are all from Beijing, and it is appropriate to go to a village to cut the queue and help each other. Do you say it's Zhimin?" said Zhang Guangzhi.
Qian Zhimin nodded, "Yes, that's right." โ
Cao Gang tilted his head and asked Zhong Yuemin to shave the hair next to his ears, and he wanted to raise his head to express his inner touch.
Zhong Yuemin patted him on the head, "Okay, these two are sleeping next to you, I'm afraid of getting lice, otherwise they are so kind?"
"Ahh
"Leave that one out of the way, and if they could, they'd love to pack you and your bedding and throw it out. Zhong Yuemin said.
Cao Gang squinted his eyes and asked, "You two really think so?"
Zhang Guangzhi and Qian Zhimin shook their heads in embarrassment.
When she got up in the morning, Jiang Biyun took the basin to the courtyard to wash, but saw a tall monk squatting in the atom, and was startled, "Who are you?"
Zhong Yuemin raised his head, spit out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, and looked at Jiang Biyun suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Biyun recognized Zhong Yuemin at this time, looked at his round head, and asked with a smile: "Why did you shave your head?"
"I'm here to save water for the people of northern Shaanxi, how good this bald head is, when you wash your face, you can wipe it with a towel, and you don't need to wash your hair. Zhong Yuemin began to talk nonsense again.
Jiang Biyun covered her mouth and smiled, "Don't wash your face at all, wouldn't it save water!"
"Our face is already stumbling enough, if we don't wash it, we won't be able to see people, we can't find our daughter-in-law, do you want me?"
"Phew, just a few words to you, you are talking nonsense!" Jiang Biyun blushed, put down the basin and prepared to brush his teeth and wash his face.
Zheng Tong scratched his head and walked out yawning, "Yuemin, who are you talking to in the morning?"
"The sun is out, why can't they get out of bed?" Zhong Yuemin asked.
"Up, up. Cao Gang said as he went out, "Several of them also got up." โ
Then Zhang Guangzhi, Qian Zhimin, Zhao Dayong, and Guo Jie came out one after another.
Jiang Biyun was dumbfounded, why did all seven of them shave their heads, and then couldn't help laughing and rubbing their stomachs.
She turned around and ran towards the girls' dormitory, "Come out and see, we have seven monks here!"
The appearance of seven monks in Ishikawa Village on the dam construction site became a rare sight, attracting the attention of all the big girls and little daughters-in-law.
It is very common for people in the countryside to shave their heads, but it is very unusual for the young men in the seven cities to shave their heads.
Zhong Yuemin has gained everyone's attention, and he has become a capable person in everyone's eyes, because he got cement, and the dam can be beaten again.
"Yuemin, your kid's true spirit of shaving his head, young people should be like this. Old Zhao Tou came early in the morning, and when he saw Zhong Yuemin, he beckoned him over.
"Grandpa Zhao, the spirit is the spirit, but it's a little cold. Zhong Yuemin touched his head and smiled.
"Hahaha, young people are angry, what are you afraid of. Old Zhao Tou then asked, "Is your village party secretary here?"
"Here, I just saw him talking to the village cadres over there. โ
"Go, call him. โ
Chang Gui was wearing a cotton jacket that would not fall off for thousands of years, smoking a pot, "Master Zhao, are you looking for it?"
"Well, the cement has also been returned, and we have to make a charter and hurry up to build this dam while the day before the year is good. Old Zhao knocked the cigarette pot on the sole of his shoe.
Chang Gui saw that Lao Zhao Tou had loaded new tobacco, put his own cigarette pot up, and helped him light it, "That's the reason, I pulled out all the strong laborers in the village today, so I want to settle this matter with you and start working." Say, "Find a secluded place?"
"Hmm. Lao Zhao Tou spat out a puff of cigarette and said to Zhong Yuemin: "Yuemin baby, you are also here." โ
"Huh?" Chang Gui was a little surprised, this kind of major event has always been discussed and decided by the head of the village, how could Zhong Yuemin come as a young doll.
Old Zhao Tou snorted coldly, "What? can you get the cement?"
"No... Can't..." Speaking of this, Chang Gui is a little weak-hearted.
"Yuemin, you come to discuss with you!" Old Zhao made a final decision.
Zhong Yuemin replied decisively: "Hey!"
The construction of the silt dam in Ishikawa and Wang is starting again, this time with overflow channels and drainage channels, and both villages know the significance of this, and they are both working on the construction site, and even the children are helping to carry the earth.
"Yuemin, as soon as you come back, we have to work, I'm really tired. While Zhao Dayong was working, he complained to Zhong Yuemin.
"You are a mouth cannon, you do the most work, and you can't rest on your mouth. Zhong Yuemin complained ruthlessly.
Zhao Dayong said embarrassedly: "If you don't work, how can you have a job, I eat a lot, and I'm afraid of starvation." โ
"Yuemin, when it comes to food, we don't have much food left, and we can't even eat potatoes for a few days. Zheng Tong accosted.
"How many more days can you eat?"
