Collecting stones is so new.

In the past few days, many people came to the store and asked what stones to receive, and after Bai Yan said it, people were speechless, although no one said it directly, but they all looked like they were obviously saying: "Pull the calf, how can there be such a stone!"

In fact, Bai Yan was also very skeptical.

It's not that she doubts that there is a stone like what Teacher Zhang said, since Teacher Zhang said it so clearly, there must be one, but will they have it here?

Then, Teacher Zhang didn't seem to care about this store too much, not to mention that he hadn't been to the store once, and he hadn't even asked her about the situation in the store, but he only inquired about it once.

This made Bai Yan feel a little ...... Anyway, it's quite complicated.

So one day, when Zhang Dongming and the students came back from class for dinner, Bai Yan couldn't help but tell Zhang Dongming about it, which roughly means that she also buys vegetables and cooks, and the store will not be opened, and she will not be paid, and she can buy some money when she goes up the mountain to pick pine needles and pine towers, and it is estimated that she can barely maintain her family.

Zhang Dongming didn't say anything at the time, just said that Bai Yan should not think about it.

Then that night, Bai Yan thought a lot.

……

……

April 4, Qingming.

As I said yesterday, Zhang Dongming and the two teachers in his class had a series of classes, and they taught four sessions in a row in the morning.

After eating at noon, taking a broom and a shovel, Zhang Dongming rode Gong Liguo's motorcycle to Daling Township.

In his last life, because he has been studying in the city since junior high school, Zhang Dongming actually doesn't have much feeling for Daling Township, after his parents died, his original relatives let him see the ugliness of the world, and after that, he only went back once a year during the Qingming Festival.

Since his rebirth, this is the second time Zhang Dongming has returned to Daling Township.

The first time was on the seventh day after he was reborn, and he also went to worship his parents, and on that day he said a lot of things at their graves.

Daling Township is more than 70 miles away from Beishan Township, and when it was almost two o'clock, Zhang Dongming arrived at a mountain bag seven or eight miles north of Daling Township, where five or six men were blocking.

Zhang Dongming remembers very clearly, a few years ago they had caused a fire here because of the burning of paper on the tomb during the Qingming Festival, and in recent years, it is strictly forbidden to burn incense and paper on the tomb during the Qingming Festival.

Zhang Dongming encountered this situation in his previous life, and today he didn't bring incense paper or anything at all.

Several people checked Zhang Dongming's body, and only after making sure that he didn't even have a match lighter, did they let Zhang Dongming go up the mountain.

The grave of Zhang Dongming's parents is on a slope in the south of Shanbao, and there is no other grave nearby.

Slowly, very carefully, we removed the surrounding weeds, filled in the soil, and cleaned the surroundings.

Then Zhang Dongming knelt down in front of his parents' grave and kowtowed three times.

Then he sat down and didn't speak.

Half an hour, an hour, two hours......

Zhang Dongming has been sitting quietly in front of his parents' graves, and has never said a word.

The sun sank in the west, Zhang Dongming got up, and a warm smile on his face: "Dad, Mom, I'm leaving." ”

A few minutes later, Zhang Dongming turned around and went down the mountain.

……

……

Dinner, Gong Liguo.

Sun Shufen's fried fish and stewed beans today, Zhang Dongming and the two of them ate slowly.

Now that Bai Yan is cooking, Zhang Dongming is no longer busy with his feet hitting the back of his head during dinner, otherwise he wouldn't have time to eat here.

But today's is not a New Year's Day, Sun Shufen has to call him to dinner, Zhang Dongming estimates that there must be something, and eighty percent is for him to collect stones.

Really......

"Dongming, do you collect the stones?" Sun Shufen couldn't help but ask.

"No, that stone is not common, and it is not easy to collect. Zhang Dongming ate and said.

Sun Shufen flipped the fish for Zhang Dongming: "Do we have the kind of stone you said here, I and your uncle have never heard of it." ”

Zhang Dongming still didn't understand Sun Shufen's thoughts, and said with a smile: "I'm not sure about it, just keep it and see, the stone is valuable, once you collect it, you will earn it." ”

Sun Shufen nodded again and again, and then exchanged glances with Gong Liguo.

Gong Liguo smiled bitterly and put down the cup: "Don't be too obsessed with this matter, after all, there is no shadow, you can't afford to rent a shop and hire someone or anything, take a look, if it doesn't work, don't accept it." ”

Zhang Dongming was eating: "Mm-hmm." ”

Gong Liguo made a "complete the task" expression with Sun Shufen, and then drank a little wine happily.

Sun Shufen glared at Gong Liguo, and didn't say anything, mainly because she had more important things to tell Dongming today.

Sun Shufen took a bite of food and asked, "Dongming, there is no object yet, right?"

"Huh?" Zhang Dongming was stunned, looked up at Sun Shufen, and had a sense of foreboding.

Sun Shufen smiled: "You see that you are such a big young man, it is time to think about the object." ”

Zhang Dongming swallowed his food, he understood at this time, and said that his aunt was so good at talking about collecting stones just now, it turned out that she was playing here, and said with a smile: "Auntie, I'm only 23, don't worry about the object, hurry up." ”

Sun Shufen served a bowl of rice to Gong Liguo: "23 is still young, look at our young man here, which one of his 20s is not a big dealer, you look at the West Courtyard, he is one year younger than you, he got married the year before last, and then look at the second Zhuang in the front yard, the same age as you, other children are about to be able to play soy sauce." ”

Zhang Dongming explained: "Auntie, can it be the same, they haven't studied, they shouldn't be in their 20s at home, I just graduated last year, and I haven't worked yet, so I'm not in a hurry." ”

Sun Shufen said angrily: "Why don't you study, if you have the conditions, you should think about starting a family, how fast this year is, you can't afford it." ”

Zhang Dongming smiled bitterly, seeing that his aunt was obviously not going to give up easily, maybe his aunt had already picked a girl for him.

Zhang Dongming's estimate is really right, Sun Shufen has indeed picked a good girl for him.

In fact, since the factory was sold, all the conditions have been met, and the age has come, Sun Shufen has begun to worry about Zhang Dongming's family, and she has been looking for a partner for Zhang Dongming these days.

Recently, Sun Shufen finally found a girl who is very suitable for Zhang Dongming in all aspects.

"Dongming, do you have a girl in the picture?" Gong Liguo took a sip of wine and asked happily.

Zhang Dongming scratched his head a little, this question is really not easy to answer.

He said yes, these two must be chasing after each other to ask which girl it is, and they must be asking the bottom of it.

He said no, it was clear that this matter would not pass easily.

After thinking about it, he still said, "How can there be, no." ”

Sun Shufen sandwiched a piece of fish to Zhang Dongming: "If you don't like it, then listen to your aunt, my aunt sees that the deputy township chief Gao and his daughter are very good, she is smart, educated, and educated, especially knowledgeable, and my aunt will introduce you to you in the past two days." ”

Sun Shufen looked at Zhang Dongming, and continued happily: "You have also seen the daughter of Deputy Township Chief Gao, who works in our township government, that is, when you sold the factory, the girl who was with Deputy Township Chief Hu, right, it's good." ”

Zhang Dongming almost choked on a mouthful of food, he guessed that Sun Shufen must have picked a good girl, but he didn't expect that it was the girl who had been with Li Wei.

"That, aunt, I'm so busy every day now, how can I have time to deal with the object, okay, it's time for evening self-study, I'll go back first." ”

Zhang Dongming got up as he spoke, and then ran away like a deserter without waiting for the two to speak.

Sun Shufen shook her head helplessly.

Gong Liguo didn't squeak and ate slowly.

Sun Shufen sat there and pondered for a while, and slapped the table: "No, we can't ignore this matter......

……

……

Sunday.

All the courses in the third junior high school have been finished, and there are already two sets of exercise books and several sets of papers, and the course of their class is also coming to an end, Zhang Dongming is going to Liu Chuan today to get the exercise books and papers back.

It takes four o'clock to come and go on the road, and I don't have to rush in the afternoon.

Zhang Dongming gave two lectures in the morning, and the last two classes allowed students to study on their own, and he was not worried at all about discipline.

Since the countdown to the high school entrance examination was written on the blackboard, several students have been more energetic than ever before, racing against time, and they can't wait to break the time in half.

Zhang Dongming was very happy and relieved.

Learning requires motivation, self-confidence, and habit.

That's what he's been trying to do for a few of his students.

After more than half a year, several students now have enough motivation, firm confidence, good habits, and a solid foundation and excellent results, and the rest is the day they shine and bloom.

When it was a little faster, Zhang Dongming arrived in the city.

Old place, Bone House.

The same old way, two dishes, two beers.

"The Boss called me the other day. Liu Chuan took a bite of food and chatted casually.

"Ahh Zhang Dongming didn't say anything.

Liu Chuan drank a glass of wine: "The boss said that it was very exciting over there, everyone was given an AK, and he also encountered a shootout, and he said that when he called me, he risked life and death." ”

Zhang Dongming took a sip of wine and said lightly: "That place is quite dangerous. ”

Liu Chuan didn't pay attention to Zhang Dongming's expression, and said: "I told the boss, don't hang up there, the boss is still bragging to me, saying it's not a problem, I guess I don't know the mother who regrets it now." ”

Zhang Dongming smiled and didn't say anything, and changed the topic: "What's wrong with Zhang Wei?"

At the mention of Zhang Wei, Liu Chuan became even more energetic, and made another glass of wine: "After May Day, I will definitely take it for her." ”

Zhang Dongming nodded, just like what he remembered, Liu Chuan and Zhang Wei in their previous life were good in May 02, and thought about it: "Look at your enthusiasm, take it easy, Zhang Wei, you don't know it, besides, as far as your virtue is concerned, it is not as good as Zhang Wei." ”

Liu Chuan took a bite of food and said, "Don't worry about me, you old bachelor, come." ”

Zhang Dongming smiled and didn't say much, and picked up the cup......

……

……

On April 17th, all the courses of mathematics, physics and chemistry were completed.

It was nearly half a month slower than the third junior high school, but fortunately, it was basically completed according to Zhang Dongming's plan.

Next, the test papers and workbooks have arrived, and they will continue to come, Zhang Dongming plans to spend about 25 days to lead students to review and consolidate all the knowledge points as a whole and emphatically.

After that, it is time to enter the rhythm of the general review of the high school entrance examination.

Then, language can no longer be ignored.

Read what should be read, write what should be written, remember what should be remembered, and memorize what should be memorized......

In short, as a final assault, in the next time, we should put Chinese on the same level as mathematics, physics and chemistry and English.

In addition, in this final sprint stage, the students' hard work is a prerequisite, but the teachers must also keep up with the corresponding teaching quality and teaching intensity.

Even if the level is limited, the attitude must be in place.

For this reason, Zhang Dongming specially invited several subject teachers in their class to have two meals.

The first meal said everything that should be said, and at the second meal, Zhang Dongming gave everyone a red envelope, of course, they were all given privately.

Then Wang Qiang didn't accept the red envelope, and Zhang Dongming didn't say anything.

……

……

Sunday, April 26th.

After eating at noon, several students were washing clothes in the yard, and Zhang Dongming went out to the store without anything.

Since opening the store, if memory serves, this is the third time Zhang Dongming has been to the store.

The first time was to stop by to see it.

The second time was when Bai Yan called and said that someone had brought a stone like he said, but when he looked over and saw that it was not at all.

This time, I came over to take a look, and then I also had something to tell Bai Yan.

When I arrived at the place, the store was locked, and Bai Yan hadn't come back when she went home at noon, and then Zhang Dongming didn't bring the key.

I took my phone and looked at the time, and at 12:40, I said that Bai Yan should also come back.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, Bai Yan came on a bicycle.

"It's late. ”

Bai Yan was a little embarrassed, and as she spoke, she hurriedly took the key to open the door.

"It's not late, it's only an hour at noon, it's almost half an o'clock on your way back and forth, and you have to cook and eat when you get home, and the time is tight enough. ”

Zhang Dongming said with a smile and entered the store with Bai Yan.

Watching the store to buy vegetables and cooking, Bai Yan has been here for a month, and he and Zhang Dongming can see each other every day, but the two have never said a few words seriously, let alone understand, Zhang Dongming doesn't even know what Bai Yan did in the city before.

"What kind of work did you do in the city before?" Zhang Dongming asked.

"Working as an accountant in a small construction company. Bai Yan was a little surprised, Teacher Zhang had never asked her about it these days.

Zhang Dongming was also a little surprised.

Bai Yan looked about the same age as him, he heard Tang Wan say that Bai Dongsheng's mother died of drinking medicine when Bai Dongsheng was in the fourth grade, and since then, Bai Yan has been working outside to earn money to support his family and provide for Bai Dongsheng to study.

At that time, Bai Yan was at most eighteen or nineteen years old, and she must have no academic diploma, coupled with the conditions of their family, Zhang Dongming always thought that Bai Yan was like most young people who went out from the countryside to work, doing some manual work in restaurants, shopping malls, factories and other places in the city, but he didn't expect Bai Yan to do such a job as an accountant.

It was indeed a bit of an accident, but Zhang Dongming didn't ask much about it: "You haven't been to work for more than a month since your father was sick, what's wrong with your job?"

Bai Yan was a little helpless and said: "The company doesn't give me such a long leave, so I will resign." ”

Zhang Dongming nodded, generally speaking, it is impossible for any company to give such a long leave, thought for a while and said: "Your father's current situation should be almost better, you should also go back to the city, it is not easy to find a job again, but it should not be so difficult." ”

Bai Yan looked at Zhang Dongming and said, "My dad is still a little worried, let's take a while." ”

Zhang Dongming nodded and didn't say much.
