027, dry to death

At this time, Zhong Xiu walked out of the hall of the village committee, stood at the door, and listened to Sister Huang's words thoroughly. Sister Huang glanced at Zhong Xiu, she was not angry, and was about to go to the kitchen. This Teacher Geng must have been hooked up with by Zhong Xiu, so he helped the Mo family like this. I heard that Geng Hao sent Zhong Xiu back several times in the evening, and the two of them didn't know what they were doing in the village committee at night.

Geng Hao saw Zhong Xiu walking out with a gloomy expression, and just about to explain, he swallowed back for the time being. When Zhong Xiu heard Sister Huang's words, she pulled out a gentle smile, and she couldn't see the slightest displeasure on her face.

"Sister Huang, who did you hear say that Teacher Geng wants to give us ninety-nine tutoring? I don't know. ”

Sister Huang stopped, and said to Zhong Xiu from afar: "What your eldest sister said herself, the village knows." ”

Geng Hao sank his breath and twisted his eyebrows, thinking about how to solve this matter. also handed Zhong Xiu a look and told her not to care. When he promised Zhong Ling yesterday, Zhong Xiu was still staying in the village committee and didn't go back at all, so it seemed that he didn't know about it. Zhong Xiu ignored Geng Hao.

"Eldest sister, that's nonsense. Teacher Geng didn't agree, did he, Teacher Geng?" Zhong Xiu directly threw the question to Geng Hao. Sister Huang also looked at Geng Hao with questioning eyes. Geng Hao didn't know how to answer for a while, but Zhong Xiu gave him a look of affirmation, he hesitated twice, and could only nod along with Zhong Xiu's words first, "Ah, yes." The fact that I run a cram school may also be a misunderstanding. ”

"That's right. Sister Huang's expression softened a lot, and she laughed again, "Aren't you also teaching Yuancheng and Yuansheng?"

"Sister Huang, Yuancheng and Yuansheng, I just promised them to learn to look up the dictionary, and they basically learned it, and I won't teach it anymore. Because he had already agreed with Director Mo, he only helped Mo Yuanshu tutor in English. Moreover, I have to start English classes at the beginning of the next semester, and I have to prepare all the classes this summer, so I really don't have the energy to help another student with tutoring. The children in our village are serious, as long as they study hard at school, they don't need to ask teachers to tutor during the holidays, they can read books at home by themselves, and finish their summer homework seriously, which can be supervised by parents. It is also possible for parents to develop their ability to learn independently if they don't have time. ”

Geng Hao said a series of things, and explained all the truths. Sister Huang didn't understand everything, anyway, she knew that the general meaning was that Huang Jiujiu, Mo Yuancheng and Mo Yuansheng, the children Geng Hao, were not helping with tutoring, and the only Mo Yuanshu who was tutoring was given money by Director Mo, and now Teacher Geng is busy and has no time to help other students tutor. These words make people unable to say a little partiality, Sister Huang can only stop, and she has to say it in the face.

"Mr. Geng is worthy of being a college student, and he is justified when he speaks. When I went back, I told my eldest brother to let them watch the swallows by themselves, let her study by herself during the holidays, and cultivate the ability to learn independently and independently. ”

Geng Hao smiled and agreed: "Yes." ”

"Okay, Sister Huang knows. Sister Huang is going to cook for you, you should go to the river to wash up. Xiuxiu, you want to eat together later, right?" Sister Huang's face was really faster than turning a book, and she didn't wait to see Zhong Xiu just now, but she smiled again this time.

Zhong Xiu didn't care, still smiling: "I just didn't eat, I'm sorry to trouble Sister Huang." ”

"No trouble, by the way. You're busy. ”

Sister Huang said and went into the kitchen. Geng Hao helped her carry the water to the kitchen before coming out, and when she came out, she went straight to the village committee hall. Zhong Xiu was sitting behind the cabinet in the hall, folding paper cranes and stars with white paper in his hand, very leisurely.

Geng Hao asked: "You came so early to fold paper cranes and stars?"

Zhong Xiu smiled at him: "I didn't go to work, I can do anything." ”

Geng Haoxin said, when it's time to go to work, are you okay or not playing around......?

Halfway through his words, Zhong Xiu shushed at him and pointed to the wall on the left, as if to signal that the wall had ears. Geng Hao couldn't cry or laugh, this was like an underground joint. Zhong Xiu pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Yesterday, the eldest sister caused you trouble, I didn't know that the eldest sister made such an unreasonable request to you." I've already told my eldest sister that you don't have to help Jiujiu with tuition. ”

"This ......" Geng Hao looked at Zhong Xiu with some gratitude, she was so sensible. So she came so early today to talk about it? Did she just encounter the scene by chance or did she anticipate it?

"That's how we are here, don't mind. In the future, the eldest sister will not say anything strange to you. Zhong Xiu continued to reassure Geng Hao, "Besides, I'm also a college student, and I have problems with Jiujiu's studies, so I don't know what to think if I don't look for me, my aunt who can tutor for free, and come to you, a tutor who charges a fee." ”

Geng Hao was amused by her last sentence, and his heart was a lot more comfortable: "I'll still say thank you to you, and I'm sorry for you to help me deal with the problem." ”

"This is caused by my eldest sister, as it should be. Haven't you washed your face yet? Zhong Xiu urged, and suddenly his eyes showed slyness, "Although it's not night, you also have to be careful of Jinlan in the Jinlan River." ”

Geng Hao said: "I have to say, your ability to make up stories is really good, it doesn't look like studying financial accounting at all." ”

Geng Hao also asked later, that river is indeed called Jinlan River, why is it called Jinlan River, the legend is because the people who built Mo Village were a pair of sworn brothers, one surnamed Mo and the other surnamed Huang. In honor of them, the river is called Cam Ranh River. is obviously a story of deep friendship, but when it comes to Zhong Xiu's mouth, it is a horror story.

"I've been learning philology since I was a child. Zhong Xiu praised himself unashamedly, and his face was still so gentle and gentle. Geng Hao could know that she made up this story, so he must have inquired about it himself, and he must have believed it and been frightened if he could inquire! What an honest!

"Don't frame the language subjects here. It may be that he has communicated with Zhong Xiu many times and is familiar with a lot, and Geng Hao is less restrained when he chats with her again, so he can't help but reply with a joking word, turn around and leave.

……

The legend of Jinlan River, Zhong Xiu deceived Geng Hao. But another sentence didn't lie to him, that is, Mo Village will be miserable in July and August, really miserable.

After the water stopped that day, Geng Hao thought that the water would come the next day, but it didn't. He had to go down to the river to fetch water and go back to his room to take a shower. Some of the big men just took their little cubs and washed them in the river. Geng Hao originally wanted to join them, but thinking that he had only been in this village for a long time, it was better to restrain himself first.

On the third day, there was still no water. Geng Hao began to look forward to the rain, but it didn't rain for five or six days, and Geng Hao said goodbye to the tap water completely. Due to the high temperature, the water level in the river has dropped a lot, the soil in the fields has dried up, and the vegetables have wilted, and if they continue to dry in the sun, they will be destroyed. Mo Village is in a hurry. If they could, they all wanted to carry out sacrifices and pray for the arrival of the rain god.

On this day, the village suddenly became excited, because it was raining in the village above! Thinking that the clouds were about to fall, everyone was waiting for a heavy rain to cool off. Geng Hao was also very happy, he was about to be sunburned, and his head was not clear every day. His condition was not much better than the food in the field. In the room, he just wanted to lie flat on the bed, because the village committee understood him and made him a mat. But the tutoring and preparation classes made him unable to enter the summer sleep at all and collapsed in bed.

Who knows, the rain in the village above has ended, and Mo Village has not ushered in a drop of rain, not even a dark cloud. Looking up at the sky, the sky was clear, and the sun was wantonly scorching the land of Mocun, and there was a sound of grief on the land. After another two days, there was another burst of excitement in the village, because it was also raining in the village below! Geng Hao was even more looking forward to it this time. It's raining above, it's raining below, and it's time for a heavy rain in the middle of him, right?

The sun in the sky laughs at their innocence. The rain in the village below is over, and there is still not half a drop of water in Mo Village. Geng Hao hid in the house, he didn't want to go out again, and as soon as he went out, he had a tendency to see the light die. Doesn't it mean that the whole world uses one sun and one moon? Why is the sun in Mocun in July and August more poisonous than in other places? It has rained in the villages above and rained in the villages below, but they don't see half a drop of rain in Mocun, what does this mean? Is Mocun cursed?

When Geng Hao was full of question marks, Zhong Xiu, who was obviously one or two degrees darker, told him meaningfully: "You have to get used to it, Mocun does this every year." ”

Geng Hao didn't want to sigh, and the breath he exhaled was also hot. And looking at Zhong Xiu, he is not qualified to sigh. He only suffered from the sun poisoning for ten minutes every day when he returned to the village committee from Director Mo's house, but Zhong Xiu often followed the director and the branch secretary up and down the village. Zhong Xiu has changed his hairstyle, tying his hair up every day and tying it into a ball. She looks more energetic, but she's also able to sunbathe in all directions.

Just when Geng Hao no longer had hope for the rain, one night, lightning suddenly flashed, followed by a huge thunderstorm, and then a violent wind. The window he was open was blown back and forth, and there was a loud noise, and Geng Hao woke up from his dream. Faced with such a situation, knowing that heavy rain was coming, I excitedly quickly locked the window and waited for the heavy rain to pour.

Sure enough, not long after, there was a commotion outside, and the rain was as heavy as if a big hole had been broken in the sky and the water of the heavenly river had leaked down. Geng Hao sat on the edge of the bed, listened to the sound of rain for a while, felt that the temperature in the room had dropped a lot, took a long sigh of relief, spit out all the heat and irritability in the past few days, and lay on the bed upside down, accompanied by the sound of thunderstorms, and quickly fell asleep. It was the best night he'd slept in a month.

The heavy rain continued until the next morning, and although it was lighter than the rain during the night, it was still the amount of heavy rain. As soon as Geng Hao opened the door, a hot and humid pavement came, and the skin that was about to dry up all over his body seemed to be moisturized, and Geng Hao felt much more comfortable. Just as he was standing comfortably at the door watching the rain wake up, his phone suddenly rang. Geng Hao opened it and saw that it was the landline at Principal Huang's house, and Geng Hao hurriedly answered it.
