Chapter 522: Selling Teaching Materials
In a small courtyard that was obviously dilapidated, several jujube trees and a pear tree in the yard had long since lost their leaves, and there was still a faint unmelted snow on them, adding a touch of whiteness to the monotonous scene.
In the courtyard below, only the main entrance of the hall came out, and there was a path paved with broken bricks, and the rest of the place was muddy. The low, mud-walled and small tiled houses are particularly inconspicuous in the village.
But now in this small courtyard, the sound of disputes has turned the originally quiet courtyard into a noisy one.
The most elusive thing in the world is the human heart.
It was originally a relative who hadn't seen each other for many years, although it may not be a particularly close relative, but it was a relative after all. In fact, not to mention relatives, villagers, as long as they are not people who have a holiday, most of them will not blush because of trivial things.
Isn't there a saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors?
Yan Fei in the room was still feeling unpredictable, but he didn't expect to set himself on fire in a blink of an eye, first an aunt, then an uncle, and then two young people, who told their family how amazing the "qigong" they were learning.
God?
Can God change seventy-two?
If others encounter this situation, they may have to think about it, but Yan Fei doesn't have to think about it, he knows that this is nonsense.
The reason is very simple, if there are such good people, there is really no need to fool these poor bastards, the little pennies that are pulled out of the chicken's butt at home.
Seeing that the uncle who met him for the first time was red-faced and red-eared when he was told about it, he still insisted on persuading everyone to stop spending money indiscriminately; and then he saw that his parents were surrounded by several people, and these two people did not come to this village many times, and those relatives were not familiar with each other, and some words were not easy to say, and they were all embarrassed.
Yan Fei was really helpless, so he simply pushed away the crowd, stepped forward and grabbed his aunt and said, "I see that my uncle is making trouble, don't think about being quiet this year, or you two go back with us, it's okay to live with me, or go to live with my grandparents and uncles for a few days, don't you still have to leave anyway?"
The old lady persuaded the stubborn old man for a long time, but she persuaded her to be angry. Hearing Yan Fei say this, he touched Yan Chao's little head that had been held by him, and nodded quite simply: "It's all good boys, you and your parents should go first! I'll pack up my things, this dead old man won't go, I'll go by myself!"
Yan Fei smiled: "Okay, you go and pack your things quickly!"
persuaded the old lady away, and then he went to the few people who were telling his parents about the splash: "Several elders have some tea first, it's not too early, we should go back, and you will introduce it next time you are free!"
Then he put his younger brother down and took him by the hand, and poured water for his uncle, who was sweating with anger on his forehead on a cold day: "Your old man drink some water, sit and rest, we are ready to go back! The road is not easy to walk, we should go back early." ”
Yan Chao, the little guy, is very bold with his brother, if other children saw this room noisy, they probably should have been scared a long time ago, and even cried out in fright.
But this guy is not, staring at the big black eyes, look at this and look at that. Seeing that my brother began to pour water, he began to roar to get the teacup.
People talk about respecting the old and loving the young, and now Yan Fei and Yan Chao are out, although Yan Fei looks like an adult, but those who had dinner together just now know that he is only in the first year of high school.
That's not all, the point is that the little guy is there too.
When they were arguing just now, everyone ignored the two juniors, and now they stand up and pour tea for everyone, who is embarrassed to push this cup of tea away?
Besides, seeing the little guy recklessly go to get the teacup, I was embarrassed to let such a young child do these tasks, and I was a little worried that the child would break something or hurt himself by mistake.
So they all took the initiative, and if they should hand over the teacup, they would hand it over, or say a few words to Yan Chao and praise the child for being sensible.
Rural people are like this, although they are a little poor, but there are many rules. The children brought by the guests must be taken care of - we are not poor, and we can't let others say that we are rude, not to mention that these are still children from the city.
Most rural children have experienced this, and a relative's child came to him, who was obviously very unreasonable, grabbed his own toys, and damaged his own things. Delicious and fun have to let this kid, but I can't have an opinion. Even if they all know that the guest's children are unreasonable, but once there is a conflict, their parents don't even ask the reason, anyway, when they see the children in conflict, they will give their children two slaps without saying a word......
What's even more annoying is that sometimes the guest's child is in trouble, and he is so frightened that he cries, but the family who has suffered quickly takes it out and coaxes the child with delicious food.
If you want to say hateful, in addition to the "neighbor's child", this "guest's child" is the most hateful!
The neighbor's children do well in exams, are obedient, can work, and are sensible - this is what parents talk about every day, and they can be called the number one 'enemy' of all children.
But the children of the guest's family, then there is no reason to talk about it at all - the reason why it is second is because after all, it is the guest's family and does not come often.
It doesn't matter if it's the ones who come to stay regularly. For example, during the holidays in this year, the children have to go to live at the grandparents' house, because most of the enlightened older generations who often live can discipline all the children together, and try to be equal and impartial.
That's why so many people are noisy for most of the day, and others can't persuade them, but the two children come out to pour a glass of water, and everyone temporarily stops - of course, the quarrel that was originally an escalation of the argument has not developed to the point of really not getting along with each other.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Fei's aunt came out again and shouted, "Old man, come in and pack your things." ”
dragged and pushed the old man into the back room, and the old lady laughed and shouted to the old sister-in-law, brother and nephew: "I'm really sorry, this old man is such a stinky temper, when I first came over before, you saw it with your own eyes, and I was so angry that I couldn't hide from your house." Speaking of which, I didn't know that I was ashamed at the time, and I was embarrassed to mention ......"
This statement suddenly reminded people of those past events. She called her old sister-in-law this ridicule: "I am also hysterical, I have known him since I was a child, and I will talk to him about something." Big sister, what do you think is the matter with packing up?"
The old lady smiled and said, "The children have come to see me, and I can't stay at home all the time." This is not a trip back, I am staying in Shanglin for a few days, this child and his grandfather have said several times, because the road is not good to walk has not gone out, just today the children came, I followed the past to live for a few days. ”
Everyone understood what she meant, and some people suddenly felt embarrassed.
Especially a few older ones, their faces are a little red. They all grew up together at the beginning, why was it so unpleasant because of this incident just now?
The old lady who was called the old sister-in-law hurried over when she heard this, took Aunt Yanfei's hand, kept holding on to it, and said that it was a moment of confusion just now.
However, the old lady was also very resolute: "I really said it early, just go for a few days and come back in two days." It's not a good day, the road is not easy to walk, if you don't go with the children, you have to be sent when you want to go. ”
People are so strange, when the anger just said is up, the more you talk about it, the more angry you are. As soon as I stopped now, thinking about the quarrel just now, and then thinking about the relationship between the previous years, I suddenly felt embarrassed, and I stood up and persuaded me not to let go.
This is what happened in school when Yan Fei was in elementary school, two boys didn't know how to fight, one nose was bleeding, and the other had a big bag in the head.
These two little bastards had a fight after school, and they were going to go back after the fight, and they felt that it was wrong, and the two of them were rolling on the ground just now, not to mention the mud, and there was a guy who loved to have nosebleeds, and he got both of them on their clothes.
It's just like that, it's not like it's a fight at a glance.
You must know that whether it is a teacher or a parent, as long as there is a fight between children, it is a fifty board each. The teacher is okay, that is, criticizing education, anyway, it doesn't hurt or itch. But parents, it depends on how they are feeling at the time and what they are doing - it is normal to see children coming back like this at school, if they are sweeping the floor, they will carry a broom and beat them, and when they are cooking, they will pick up a rolling pin, in short, they can't run away after a while.
So these two guys didn't care about each other's 'cross eyebrows', and stood next to the pressurized water well in the backyard of the school to discuss: "Why don't we wash and go back?"
The tap water in elementary schools often breaks down, so most of the time they use old-fashioned pressurized water wells. This kind of thing can't be played by one person if it's a child, and both parties must cooperate.
Then the two of them will press the water and I will wash it, and then you will wash it again if you change the pressure water to me. While washing, they talked about what happened before the fight, and they had to show each other to see if there was any ash on their backs and whether they had nosebleeds. As a result, after a while, the two little bastards who were eager to strangle each other just now went home together with a hippie smile.
This was seen by the students who stayed in other classrooms to clean up at the window, and when they came to class after eating, the whole school knew that these two guys had no skin and no face, and they had just finished fighting and became 'iron buddies' again.
It's really not skinless and faceless, some so-called 'grievances and grievances', after the passage of time, they are actually ridiculous when they are recalled. The so-called meeting and smiling enmity is like this, but the two children have advanced the process a little.
However, older people are not as direct as children. Although the people in the room are polite now, even Xiao Yanchao can notice that something is wrong in that awkward atmosphere.
Soon some people took advantage of the situation to find a reason to leave, and as soon as someone took the lead, the others also left a sentence to come back later, and in the blink of an eye, there were three or four elderly people left in the room who were particularly close.
These people didn't talk about what they had just done, and seeing that it was a foregone conclusion that these two people were leaving, they all came over to help. In fact, it didn't help much, and when the two came back, they brought some of their own clothes, and some of the things used in the family were bought by themselves, and the other part was made up by the neighbors. When they go back to the children, they will definitely have to come back again to say goodbye, and then they will deal with it.
When the old couple noisily packed up their things, Yan Fei found a pick to carry on his shoulders, and set off.
A few old men and old ladies were still following behind, talking: "It's all an old bone, and sooner or later I have to come back, and I have to reminisce together before burying it in the soil, and I should come back often......
At this time, Yan Fei knew why others said that his uncle was an old man, and the old man was still stiffening his neck: "If you guys are still fooling around, I won't come!"
It was really a pot that didn't open and which pot to mention, and was slapped and beaten by the old lady, so she continued to walk angrily. The old men didn't bother to distinguish with him anymore, they all smiled silently and bitterly.
Originally, this matter was settled, but when they came to the wheat field at the entrance of the village, a group of resting people saw them and came over and talked again. Speaking of which, they still persuaded the old couple, including Yan Fei's family, to follow them to practice qigong.
There is also snow in the wheat field, but it seems that in order to facilitate the practice of qigong by this group, it is specially cleaned up - usually the wheat field is not cleaned when it snows in winter, so as not to guess and guess, make the land uneven, and have to be crushed several times with stone stones in the next year.
Yan Fei is a little angry, you practice and practice, is it necessary to pull others to be the same as you?
Yan Fei's aunt was still relatively lively, and when she saw that it was not easy to walk, she relented and said: "Okay, okay, we also believe in the head office, right?
A middle-aged man stood up: "You guys are perfunctory, our qigong, that's really good." I persuaded you for your own good, or I wouldn't have advised you!"
It's like this over and over again, it seems that this middle-aged man is the head of these qigong practitioners, seeing that the old lady said that this person would not let go, Yan Fei pushed away Yan's father who was blocking the front and stood out: "I'll just ask, are you planning to block the road and not let us go?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Look at what you kid said, how could I not let you go." Isn't this what you said our master was a liar and I explained to you?"
Yan Fei sneered: "Now my aunt says that he is not a liar, what else do you want?"
The middle-aged man said without thinking: "There is no basis for your words, otherwise, you also buy a set of teaching materials and go back, and I believe that you are truly repentant." ”
"If you don't believe in your master, do you make a mistake? Do you still have to use the word repentance?" Yan Fei asked rhetorically.
"Yes. The middle-aged man's face was righteous. "And it's useless to repent verbally, unless you buy one set, no, you are two families, and you have to buy at least two sets of textbooks to go back. ”
"Well, then tell me, what is this set of teaching materials, and how much does it cost?" Yan Fei softened his tone.
