Hu didn't glared at Ma Tianyao and snorted again.

"My daughter and daughter are angry with me, students and students are angry with me, I finally retired, thinking that I could live a good life for two days, but you ran to my house to get angry with me, and I still ...... in the middle of the night"

When the lesson was over, another dry towel was thrown.

"This is my daughter's previous towel, clean, take it to dry, it's windy outside, hurry in......"

After speaking, Hu Bu went into the house by himself, Shi Xiaoxiao flushed a few buckets of water on his body, and then asked Ma Tianyao to help dry it, sniffed it carefully, and finally was dragged to the back room by Ma Tianyao.

Hu Bu's home is very broken, although it is not the last in the village, but it is not much worse.

Ma Tianyao felt that her home was broken enough, and when she looked at the house of the head teacher's house today, she could only sigh in her heart, there is a sky outside the sky, and there is a house outside the house.

This house should have been built decades ago, everyone has changed the big iron door, their house is still a wooden door, and Ma Tianyao was crazy when he came in.

The walls of the courtyard on both sides of this courtyard have collapsed, and my heart says what do you mean by this door?

No wonder Shi Xiaoxiao slammed the door and no one reacted, the wooden door smashed up with a muffled sound, and others fell asleep in the innermost room, and it would be hellish if they could hear it.

The house here is also an adobe house, according to Ma Tianyao's understanding, this is already a dilapidated house, the middle yard is estimated to be a kitchen, but half of it has collapsed, he uses wooden beams to support the other half, and people are cooking in it.

There are two rooms in the inner room, with a small hall in the middle, dimly lit, and a black-and-white television, which is really rare now.

The walls around were plastered with certificates, and Ma Tianyao took a look, basically all the honors that Hu Bu had won in the school, what were the outstanding class teachers, best teachers, excellent classes, and so on.

Then against the wall were stacks of old books, and he didn't get a bookshelf, so he just put them away.

"Come in. ”

Lao Hu opened the door curtain on the left and walked in first, Ma Tianyao and Shi Xiaoxiao looked at the room on the right, but the door was locked, the two glanced at each other and followed in.

The room on the left is a little better than the courtyard outside, but not much better.

In addition to a stack of old books and newspapers, there was only one earthen kang and an offering table, on which was placed a black and white portrait of a young woman, who was supposed to be his wife.

The incense burner was full of dust, and it should have been left unattended for a long time, Hu Bu looked in the room, and there was no bench, so he was helpless, and pointed to the old books in the corner.

"There's no place to sit at home, so you two can sit casually. ”

Ma Tianyao looked back, smiled awkwardly, and waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it, but Shi Xiaoxiao was really small, sat on the old book, and continued to wipe his hair, wipe it and smell it.

"Tell me, what are you two looking for me in the middle of the night?"

Hu Buyi sat on the edge of the kang, grabbed some cigarettes, rolled them up with waste paper, and asked while rolling, Ma Tianyao smiled and spoke.

"Old ...... Teacher, we want to ask today if the shop in Meadow Town is really yours?"

"Shop?"

"Yes, it's ......"

Ma Tianyao originally wanted to say that it was the room where you escaped from the back door, but she was afraid that Hu would not be mad enough, so she quickly swallowed the back words back, and asked with a smile.

"It's the shop on the corner diagonally across the station......"

"Why are you asking this?"

Ma Tianyao was silent for a moment, decided to tell the truth to the old man, and then, she told her about the sudden influx of outsiders, and spoke again.

"Teacher Hu, we really can't help it now, don't you know, most of the students in the town were kicked out by the landlord at night, it was already cold, and these children slept on the streets pitifully, like beggars. We are even more miserable, not to mention the place of residence, it is estimated that soon even the shop will be taken by the landlord, so I came to you......"

After finishing speaking, Hu Bu rolled the tobacco leaves, lit it and took a puff, spit out a puff of white smoke, and the whole house was immediately confused.

He didn't answer, and the atmosphere in the room was suddenly a little silent......

After a while, Ma Tianyao said again.

"Mr. Hu, I know that the house prices in the town are likely to rise immediately, but we really need this shop, if you don't plan to sell it, you can rent it to us, even if it is only for a year, even if the price is high......"

Hu Buyu was still just smoking a cigarette, and the room fell silent again, Ma Tianyao felt that there was little hope and sighed.

After smoking a cigarette, the room was already a white fog, and it was a little difficult to see each other clearly a few meters away from each other, and suddenly, Hu was not enough to speak.

As soon as he spoke, he coughed first, then violently.

"Alas......"

After coughing, there was a long sigh, which seemed to make him age a lot, and then, as if he had fallen into a long memory.

"I still remember, it was more than 30 years ago, when I just got married, I didn't have much money to be a teacher, and Yaoyao was born, so I learned from others to go to the sea to do business......"

When Hu was not young enough, he originally taught in the town, and later resigned to do business after getting married and having children.

It's a pity that this head is long and the other is short, and just as their family's life was up, his wife suddenly fell seriously ill and died.

The literati are affectionate, and Hu Buyu is not only heartbroken, but also can't take care of doing business, so he rented out the shop and took his daughter back to his hometown.

A year later, in order to make ends meet and to provide a good educational environment for his daughter, he chose to become a teacher again.

Later, he went to teach in the county high school, lived in a staff dormitory, and took his daughter with him, so the family didn't go back much, and he didn't even care if the courtyard wall collapsed.

"Well, this shop...... Originally, it was left for Yaoyao, I thought that if I died in an accident one day, the rent of the shop would be enough for her to live, and if she wanted to open a store to do business, she would save renting other people's places, but I never thought ......"

Speaking of which, Hu didn't stop and didn't say anything, he didn't know that Shi Xiaoxiao and Ma Tianyao had eaten this melon, and he still thought that the ugliness of the family couldn't be publicized.

He sighed and crossed the topic directly, and spoke again.

"Forget it, since you want to rent, let's rent it to you, anyway, Yaoyao is gone. ”

Hearing that Hu was not willing to rent out, Ma Tianyao's hanging heart finally let go, and he gossiped curiously.

"Teacher, what you said about Yaoyao...... Is it your daughter? Her name is Yaoyao?"

"Her name is Hu Yaoyao, she went to work in other places without graduating from junior high school, mixed with a group of social scum, and gave herself a fake name What is the demon ......"

"Demon Demon, Demon Sister, Sister Yao?"

"What's wrong with you? Do you know her?"

Hu was stunned for a moment, and Ma Tianyao quickly shook his head.

"No...... I don't know it, but I think it's a bit strange ......."
