"Are you just the new volunteer teacher?" the aunt in black said excitedly, as if she knew something big and was in a hurry to confide in, "I heard, you are amazing, what kind of famous university you came from." ”

"The young man is so powerful, and he just graduated this year?" asked the aunt in red.

Geng Hao rubbed his hands silently to relieve the embarrassment in his heart: "Yes, I just graduated." ”

"Why didn't you go to work in a company in a big city when a famous university came to teach in a place where birds don't?" the curly-haired aunt asked unwilling to be left behind the topic and before anyone else.

"I still think it's more appropriate to teach. Geng Hao perfunctory. At this time, you can't take it seriously when you chat with the aunts, and all answers must be affirmative and in place, so that they don't have the opportunity to go deeper, otherwise they can talk to you and make you doubt life.

"Young man, do you plan to stay in Mo Village all the time in the future?" asked the red-clothed aunt who grabbed the backrest of the front seat and leaned in front of Geng Hao.

"I don't know yet. Geng Hao faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Young man, do you have a partner now? Aunt told you, in our village, there are many good girls, if you don't look down on the village, the girls and aunts in the county town also know each other. The aunt in red chatted with Geng Hao with great interest. Just now, the curly-haired aunt has already pulled a matchmaker, and she can't be left behind, so she has to pull a case to help talk about the matchmaker.

Geng Hao said secretly, sure enough, smiled politely, and said, there is. The light in the eyes of the three eldest aunts immediately dimmed, and there was great disappointment written on their faces. Come on, another good topic is over before it even starts.

Huang Lin glanced in the rearview mirror again. People really have a partner, and they have to go back and talk to Lingling, they really don't have to think about pulling this line for their sister, and they die of this heart.

The time on the road is too long, those aunts seem to be uncomfortable without talking about anything, although the matchmaking thing is yellow, but they want to know more about Geng Hao than to talk about the neighbors' daily routines, so they keep asking Geng Hao about the topic. From Geng Hao's birth to university, from his own questions to his ancestors' generations, the questions asked are enough for Geng Hao to write an autobiography.

The car was so big, Geng Hao didn't cooperate, and they didn't seem to have a place to hide. It was easy to get to the county seat, Huang Lin parked the car at the passenger station and parked it with a group of vans. The vans are all sandwiched with a large number of route name plates, all of which go back and forth from various towns to the county seats. The sign of Huanglin is Taoyuan Village to Huangyang County. Taoyuan Village is a village above Mo Village.

As soon as the car stopped, the passengers all consciously got off the bus, and Geng Hao also got off the bus and asked Huanglin how much the fare was. Huang Lin said that he didn't need to give it, and brought it out by the way. Geng Hao was embarrassed to take advantage of this, so he said that if he didn't want to, he would find the car himself when he went back. Huang Lin obediently talked about this, so he said a price, four yuan. Geng Hao looked at the five yuan given by the passengers who got on the bus before him, and knew that Huang Lin did not quote a low price, so he gave it with peace of mind.

Huang Lin put the money in the pocket of his jacket and asked, "Teacher Geng, where are you going to the county seat?"

Geng Hao replied: "It is said that it is a sports field." Zhang Nan said on the phone that he went to the county last time to find it, the county is not big, there is only one Internet café, that is, in the sports field of the county, the environment is not good, the equipment is average, but you can also play, play games or something, or not stuck.

"Then come up, and I'll send you there. Huang Lin beckoned to Geng Hao, and his own people had already gotten into the car.

Geng Hao was still polite: "No need, I'll find it myself." ”

"That's so troublesome, I'll send you over. ”

At Huang Lin's insistence, Geng Hao sat back in the car. The roads in the city are hardened roads, there is no yellow dust, Geng Hao can finally open the car window, feel the comfortable cool breeze brought by the car, shake the collar, and speed up the drying of the layers of sweat on his body. If there is no air conditioning in the van and the windows can't be opened, you can only stuff all the way, Geng Hao has already been like a sauna.

There were only two people in the car, Geng Hao and Huang Lin, Huang Lin was probably afraid that Geng Hao would not recognize the road, so he said a few more words, and pointed out the road signs to Geng Hao while driving.

The passenger station is located near a three-way intersection, and its terrain is relatively low in Huangyang County. There are many large grocery stores in the surrounding area, and they have everything you need for daily necessities. Huang Lin said that if you come out to buy groceries, just buy them here.

At the fork in the road, Huang Lin said that there was an old block on the road at the lower intersection for two or three minutes, which was called River Street because it was next to the river. There are all clothes for sale, it is a clothing wholesale market in Huangyang County, there are many cheap clothes shops, and people in Huangyang County will go to River Street to buy new clothes every year. He also said that Hejie is the lowest place in Huangyang County, and that there is no stable big river dam, and that two years ago, the river rose and flooded half of the houses on Hejie, and now you can still see the water level marks on the walls of the houses. Geng Hao secretly said that living by the river is in danger of being submerged at any time.

Huang Lin drove to the upper intersection of the three-way intersection. There are still some dilapidated shops on both sides of the street, and the stalls are more than a meter long protruding from the door of the shop, and most of them are also selling groceries, and there are more hardware stores. The road is S-shaped upwards, and the higher the terrain, the closer it is to the county center, and the shops become different, and large shopping malls begin to appear. Huang Lin introduced to him one by one, this vegetable market is the only home appliance city in Huangyang County, this two-story is also the only furniture city in Huangyang County, until the second three-way intersection, there is the only large supermarket in Huangyang County, said to have three floors!

The road on the left side of the mall is relatively flat, and the road on the right slopes gently. Huang Lin continued to drive to the right and turned up. There is a primary school on this road, called Huangyang No. 1 Elementary School, three five-story teaching buildings, compared with Mocun Primary School, this is a luxury school. At this time, the students are just out of class and are playing all kinds of games on the playground.

Huanglin drove all the way to the highest place in Huangyang County, and the ground began to flatten, revealing a large square surrounded by iron fences in front of him. Huang Lin sent him to the door, and then drove down the road from the side of the sports field, the road there was a slightly steep slope, and it was also turning down, which should lead to the passenger station. Huang Lin told him that when he was going back, he would call directly and say where he was, and he would come to pick him up.

Geng Hao looked at his watch, it was already eleven o'clock, the sun was scorching the earth, the entire sports field was exposed to the sun, there was no one in it at all, and no one dared to stand there. Next to the entrance of the stadium is a high staircase that leads to an unknown direction, and the first staircase has a building on top of it, which is a shading place.

Geng Hao stayed at the entrance of the stairs to hide from the sun, wiped the sweat on his body, and took out the phone to dial Zhang Nan. Zhang Nan said that they would arrive at the passenger station immediately, so that he could go to the martyr's pavilion and wait first. When it was time, everyone went to lunch together. Geng Hao looked all the way before, but he didn't see much of the restaurant, and just got out of the car and was worried about whether he was going to buy instant noodles at noon. Since Zhang Nan said so, he just waited.

Turning around to face the stairs, Zhang Nan said that this is the Martyrs' Pavilion, which is another place for people in Huangyang County to take a walk at night, because there are many small pavilions in it, and the terrain is also high, so it is the best to rest and see the scenery. On this hot day, no one can stand in the sports field, only the martyr's pavilion is suitable for stupidity. Geng Hao listened to Zhang Nan's words and walked up the steps.

After going up the first section of steps, there is a flat land, there is a small building on the left, and there are two long signs with black letters on a white background hanging at the door, saying that this is the Civil Affairs Bureau, and on the right is a large iron gate, and inside is an auditorium. After walking more than a dozen steps on the flat road, there are dozens of steps in front of you, and above the steps is the big iron gate of the martyr's pavilion.

As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by steps, and black tombstones are neatly arranged on several tiers of platforms, on which are engraved with the messages of the martyrs. On the left above the tombstone area, there is the highest point of the Martyrs' Pavilion, where a three-storey pavilion is built, like a landmark building in Huangyang County. The first floor of the attic was empty and empty, except for a staircase leading to the second floor, which had a small door at the top of the staircase, which was locked.

The pedestal outside the attic is basically covered by a canopy of trees, and the sun cannot shine directly, so Geng Hao stands in the shade of the tree and looks into the distance. You can only see the continuous mountains and the gentle river, but the green mountains and beautiful waters are still more pleasant. Geng Hao found a stone staircase and went down to a cobblestone path, following it to the back of the Martyrs' Pavilion. The soles of the canvas shoes are not thick, and when I walk on the gravel road, the soles of my feet are faintly painful. There are not many pavilions in the Martyrs' Pavilion, just one or two small pavilions. The area of the Martyrs' Pavilion is not large, and you can walk slowly along a road for ten minutes to complete a circle.

At this time, it was noon, and some young people who came to chat around also left the pavilion one after another, and the silence in the martyr's pavilion could only hear the chirping of birds and cicadas. When Geng Hao turned the second circle, he found a pavilion to sit down, leaned against the red pavilion pillars, closed his eyes slightly, and enjoyed the shade and comfort at this time.

More than half an hour later, Geng Hao's mobile phone rang, and it was Zhang Nan calling, saying that they had arrived at the gate of the sports field. Geng Hao got up and went out to join them. As soon as he left the Martyrs' Pavilion, without the shelter of the trees, the heat of the sun tightly wrapped Geng Hao's whole person, Geng Hao immediately felt his mouth dry, raised his arm to block his forehead, and avoided the direct rays of the sun on his eyes.

Seeing each other after two months, Geng Hao felt that they had changed a lot, and the most obvious change was that everyone was dark. However, Sun He is a few degrees darker than a few of them, and if he is exposed to the sun for another month, his complexion may be the same as bronze. Sun He's explanation for this is that he walked around the village every day, often went down to the river to bathe and fish, and walked around the city every day when he arrived in the city, and also went to the river to fish with his uncles, and experienced the excessive favor of Mother Sun, and said that his goal was to develop into a bronze and look cool and handsome.

Sun He is now volunteering in the community, starting at 9 a.m. and ending at 11 a.m. and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the afternoon, five days a week. Geng Hao was more interested in his volunteer activity, so he asked what it was. Sun He said that it was organized by a public welfare organization in the county, and he took his children to read and do activities every day to cultivate their interest in reading. It's already the third week now, and it's over in another week, and next weekend there will be a debriefing performance, and Sun He invited a few of them to watch it. A few of them thought about their arrangements for a while, and agreed when they thought they could.

Sun He was the most familiar with the terrain in the county, and Sun He directly became a tour guide, took them to dinner, and took them around the road to visit the county. Under the sun, walking on the hardened road of hot feet, surrounded by hot air, the water in the body rolls straight out, turning into beads of sweat the size of beans.
