"Is this going for some festival?" said a tourist who entered Sisa in the summer, and couldn't help but ask the guide next to him.

The guide smiled mysteriously: "Local customs, this is a local characteristic, everyone can see it!"

"Is this going to be a festival?"

In fact, the same question is not only asked by tourists, but also by outsiders who have spent some time in Nani City.

It seems that during this period of time, Nani City has obviously become lively.

Many herdsmen on horseback, herdsmen driving ox carts, and herdsmen coming on foot, they were dressed in costumes and smiling, and the happy smiles made people feel that they had encountered something happy at a glance.

If you look closely, you can see that the herders are buying more or less the same thing.

It's all axes, machetes, shovels, rakes and buckets, basins and other things.

The buyer carried the goods, and hurried out of the bazaar with a smile full of hope, and hurried in the direction from which he had come.

......

The number one leader in the education department who had just been in the education department for less than a year, Comrade Lao Ma, was very puzzled.

As the weather warmed up, he rode his donkey farther and farther away, and he saw more of the locals, and he felt that he knew enough about the place.

But for a while, he couldn't understand it again!

The key is that he doesn't need to ask what festivals he usually has, someone will help him introduce them, and then remind him of some taboos or something.

This time, not only did no one remind him, but even when he asked, no one answered him.

Living with doubts, if it was in the past, the old horse would definitely be uncomfortable.

But this time, he has gotten used to it!

He can get used to even a donkey being welcomed more than he is, what else can make him feel unaccustomed?

Now with this donkey, he has almost traveled all the dwellings around Nani, and he has followed the donkey so much that he doesn't bother to think about it, and all day long, he comforts himself with the words "I brush this donkey every day anyway."

So comforting himself that he also had sequelae, so that every time he called home, the family asked him about his recent work status, if there was anything important, he wanted to say: "The most important thing for me is to take a gold brush inlaid with precious stones and brush the hair of a wild donkey named Silver!"

He felt very uncomfortable with this, but he couldn't say it yet.

He estimated that if he said this to his family on the phone, the family would immediately have to contact psychiatric hospitals around the world to book a bed for him!

So now that others have begun to hide his recent affairs, he simply doesn't ask more.

If you don't say it, I'll just observe it myself!

It really made him observe a little problem.

That's where he went to recently, and they were all clearing wasteland.

It can't be called clearing wasteland, that is, it should be said to dig a pit.

Let's dig a pit together, digging a pit is boundless!

Whether it is a mountain or a grassland, where there is mud near the settlement, small pits have been dug.

It wasn't until he came to a settlement very close to the river and saw the sea buckthorn seedlings planted in those dirt pits by the river that he understood that these people were planting sea buckthorn, or planning to plant sea buckthorn.

He'd already found out about it, and he'd gone out to look for a sea buckthorn tree!

It's just that it used to be planted in only a few places, but now it's being done everywhere.

It seems like the whole Cesar is doing this!

But some new questions have arisen, why do many places only dig pits and do not plant them? Do they plan to wait for a good day before planting?

I've never heard of planting trees and picking days!

Due to the season here, the sooner you plant a tree, the better, and if you wait, it won't be long before you are not suitable for planting trees!

......

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and at noon on a Thursday, Comrade Lao Ma looked at the time, and when he was about to get off work, he tidied up his desk and prepared to go out to eat.

Others think the work here is difficult, but he doesn't think so, as long as you brush the donkey more, any job can be done.

So there's no need for overtime or something.

If you have that time, you might as well go and brush the donkey!

With a self-deprecating smile, the old horse stepped on time and walked out of the office on time.

Greeting a few colleagues, he walked outside as if he were walking.

Just a few steps away, Mo Chi also walked out, and greeted him warmly from afar: "Ma Ju, go out to eat! Let's go together, I will also go to Uncle Phuntsok to eat." ”

"Okay!" the old horse nodded calmly.

Eat this kind of thing for nothing, just get used to it!

He didn't plan to take advantage of it, the days were still long, and he would always have a place to help them in the future, and he would return the favor, anyway...... I'm an incidental one.

The leaders here don't look like leaders, and there is no car in and out.

Originally, the city is not big, everyone can walk, at most some people ride a bicycle, and the others are not necessary.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, Mo Chi and Lao Ma were stopped by five or six children.

One of the snotty babies walked up with a red face under the encouragement of the other children: "Teacher Ma, we invite you to stay at our school for one night, is it okay?"

"What?" the old horse was confused.

"We would like to invite you to our school for a one-night stay. The kid mustered up the courage and said it again.

"Why?" the old horse looked at the child and recalled, and immediately laughed. "Little monk, why do you want to invite me to your school for one night? It's Thursday, why don't you go to class?"

These children, Lao Ma, remembered that they were children from a residential place close to the city and less than a day's trip, because they didn't go to school, and they only started to go to school when Lao Ma went to persuade them to go to school.

I went to see it later, and I gave them some extracurricular reading materials!

However, their school is not close, and they have to travel for half a day, and now at noon, several children have run over, obviously they set off in the morning, and they must have skipped class!

Thinking of this, Lao Ma became nervous, not because they skipped class, but because: "Did you come by yourself?

These children are so uneasy, what kind of place is this, although there are many residential places on the road from school to the city, but the climate here, hail is hail, and it is windy, and there are no wild animals, dangerous!

The child named Sangha was taken aback by his eagerness: "We are not skipping class, we are student representatives, and everyone wants to go to your ......"

"You answer my question first. Lao Ma Zhengse said, although he knew that this would scare the children, but he would rather scare them than a few bear children who were bold enough to come to the city alone.

"We came on our own, but we were followed by someone ......," explained the monk, gesturing into the distance. "Just a few of them. ”

......

It took the old horse a full ten minutes to finally figure out the situation.

A few children are indeed student representatives, but they are indeed skipping class - there are only about 20 people in that small school, and there is only one teacher, and it is not difficult for them to hide from the teacher.

A few herdsmen in the distance, who met a few children on the way, heard that they were coming to the city, so I stopped by with them to prevent any accidents.

After figuring out the situation, Lao Ma thanked the herdsmen before asking the children again: "Then why did you take the risk of inviting me to stay at your school for one night?"

The monk's expression was very firm: "Teacher Ma, you can't say it." ”

The old horse was helpless, and Mo Chi next to him finally couldn't help it: "Ma Bureau, people come to invite you, and you go with you for one night, what's the matter?" Even if there is nothing wrong, these children are sincere, you should send them back, don't you get it......?"

Seeing Mo Chi's expression, Lao Ma understood a little in his heart!

These people know it, and there must be something going on tonight, but they can't tell themselves.

But it should be a good thing, at least in the eyes of these locals, a great thing.

Adults have to hide it from themselves, they can't tell themselves, or they don't know how to tell themselves. It's just these children, with pure hearts, because they remember themselves because of the matter of persuading them to learn, so they come to invite themselves.

......

The old horse hesitated for a moment, and then decided to go.

Just like Mo Chi said, someone has to send these bear children back to school, and they can't be allowed to go back by themselves.

And now the teacher in the school, I don't know how anxious he is, he not only wants to go, but also has to go immediately.

Thinking of this, he said, "It's okay for me to go, but you have to follow me to get something to eat first, and then we'll set off together, okay?"

The children nodded, and followed him and Mo Chi to Phuntsok's father's shop.

Seeing that the old horse let a few children take food, he was about to lead the donkey and set off, Mo Chi said: "Don't be in such a hurry, eat a good meal first, wait for me to find a few horses, and then find a few people to take them." ”

Didn't you just say you wanted me to send it?

Forget it, don't bother with him.

Lao Ma was depressed and reminded: "The teacher over there lost five students, he must be in a hurry......

"Then I'll have someone remind him now. As he spoke, Mo Chi beckoned a guy over and asked him to ride a horse to the school to report the news first.

......

Before the meal was finished, the restaurant guy was back.

They were followed by herders on horseback, as well as teachers, who had come out to look for the children.

At first, those bear children collectively hid from the teacher, but after two classes, the teacher finally learned the truth from a bear child.

At that time, the soul was frightened, and hurriedly went to the nearby residence and called the people to find someone.

When the monks and a few bear children with mouths full of oil who were eating saw the teacher, and then saw that it was a man and a horse, and they were still sweating all over, they knew that they were in trouble.

So they all lowered their heads and prepared to be trained.

The teacher doesn't train them, these bear children, what are they doing here, and they will slowly clean up later.

But it saved Mo Chi the trouble, and he didn't have to find someone to take these children back with them.

After eating, the old horse got on a donkey, followed the teacher and a few herdsmen, and rushed towards the school.

On the way, he wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't ask, the school is just such a teacher, it's very hard, he is really embarrassed to embarrass the family.

......

When I arrived at the school, more than half of the 20 or so students from the school came to welcome Mr. Ma.

The teacher looked at it, forget it, don't go to class, let's change to physical education today, it's almost time to eat anyway.

The rice was made by a nearby herdsman, and it tasted average.

Not old enough horses to say that the herdsmen are volunteers.

In the past, it was the bear children who went home by themselves, but Lao Ma came, applied for funds or something, and added two dormitories to the school, so that a dozen or so children who were far away could live in the school.

However, food is also a problem, and the financial allocation is not sufficient, so the teachers have to cook for themselves, and the herders from nearby settlements take the initiative to help.

After eating, I watched the teacher light a bonfire and dance with the children, and the old horse could only dance along.

While jumping, I wondered, what the hell is it to let myself come?

This jumped until the bear children began to get confused, and the teacher did not let them sleep.

Lao Ma couldn't help it: "Teacher Dawa, it's time to sleep, right?"

Teacher Dawa shook his head: "They won't sleep." ”

Without waiting for Lao Ma to ask, he continued: "Leader Ma, don't ask, I can't say, everyone won't sleep tonight." ”

The old horse can only continue to wonder!

......

In fact, as Dawa sensei said, in places where the old horse could not see, on most of Nani's settlements, no one slept.

The old horse had seen it before, and the pit he had never seen, had now been planted with sea buckthorn branches.

Countless people are beside the sea buckthorn field, or in the settlement, looking up at the sky from time to time.

Because, it's going to rain tonight!

......

"It's going to rain tonight. Teacher Dawa said. "Leader Ma, you prepare, it's best to take off your shirt later, so that you can receive more rain. ”

"Rain?" the old horse was stunned, then looked up at the starry sky. "Will it rain tonight?"

"Yes. "Teacher Dawa is sure.

Lao Ma wants to complain, the people in the Meteorological Bureau here can't predict the weather, and it can be called the most aggrieved and useless department, why are you a teacher, so sure?

But he didn't ask, today's events were already full of weirdness.

However, he still has a question: "Let these children also get drenched in the rain?"

He felt that he was in good health now, and he really had any customs, and he needed to get drenched in the rain, and he could hold it out. But these children are not very old, and the temperature here at night is much worse than during the day, and he feels cold now.

"Yes. Teacher Dawa only intends to remind him that this sentence is already considered a free gift, so it is quite a bit of a pity for words.

The old horse continued to wonder......

Wait, wait, wait......

It's late at night, and the wind is cool!

Just when the old horse was about to be suffocated, among the dozen or so children who stayed in school, like the bear children who had run so far during the day, had already begun to nap.

Suddenly, the wind picked up.

A breeze blew, and the stars in the sky slowly disappeared one by one.

Teacher Dawa, who had been tilting his head up, suddenly jumped up and called out to the children one by one: "Hurry up, hurry up, it's going to rain!"

"Huh!?" the group of confused people looked up, then instantly sobered up, and ran into the house.

Teacher Dawa urged Lao Ma: "Hurry up, it's going to rain soon, if you don't mind, just leave an underwear!"

Anyway, the people who stay here are all boys, so it's not a big deal.

Just as the old horse hesitated, one by one the slick bear children had already run out, and urged the old horse: "Teacher Ma, take off your clothes quickly!"

......

What is it like to be surrounded by a dozen or so bear children with shallow bean worms, urging them to undress?

Anyway, this is the first time in my life that the old horse has experienced.

On the other hand, Dawa was more neat, ran directly into the house, and then came out wearing shorts and taking a shorts in his hand.

Dawa gave his shorts to the old horse, and then looked at the silver beside him, and was relieved to see it standing lazily aside.

With a companion, the old horse felt much better, and at the urging of the children, he also went in and changed into the shorts that Dawa gave him.

As soon as he finished changing, the sky suddenly began to rain in the sky.

The drizzle like spring rain is sprinkled and falls on the body, slightly cool, but it does not make people feel uncomfortable.

The children began to cheer.

Laughing, jumping, circling around the extinguished bonfire.

Then Dawa joined in, and led the children to sing a song that the old horse did not understand, and began to dance in circles hand in hand.

After a circle, when the monk came, he let go of the child he was holding and reached out to hold the old horse.

So the old horse was also awkward, followed by a group of bear children, and began to jump!

It was so awkward, Lao Ma felt that this was the most embarrassing scene he had ever encountered.

Two big men, wearing shorts and a group of sleek little babies, hand in hand, around a bonfire with smaller and smaller flames, jumping and jumping!

There is also a little excited donkey next to the key.

The silver, which had been lazy just now, began to raise its head at the black sky from time to time as soon as the rain fell, and shouted loudly!

So much so that the old horse, who was jumping and spinning, couldn't help but look around from time to time - he was afraid that someone was deliberately tricking himself, in case someone came here to take a live photo, in case the photo leaked out......

Lao Ma estimates that the family must have started to contact himself with a bed again!

No, why should I use another word?

......

In fact, Lao Ma really doesn't have to worry, there are countless settlements at this moment, there are such scenes.

People were screaming and jumping, and there were people crawling on the drizzly drenched land, all expressing their joy wantonly, and no one cared about what others were doing.

Not only people, but also cattle, sheep, and livestock were in the rain.

The silent drizzle of moisturizing things is dripping, and people's laughter is always ongoing.

......

This rain is kind of magical!

Although Lao Ma felt that there were not many things that could surprise him now, he was still curious as he jumped up and down.

According to past experience, in the temperature of the middle of the night here, he would have been sneezing like this.

But now, not only did he not feel any signs of a cold, but he felt relaxed, and the more he jumped, the more energetic he became.

Could it be that this is a ritual?

I don't think I'm doing anything!

Lao Ma felt that he might not be able to understand these questions at all.

Although the rain was light, it fell long enough until almost dawn.

The old horse jumped until almost dawn.

There is no imaginary cold, no imaginary backache and leg pain, not even a little tiredness.

Not only is the physical exertion not felt, but neither is the mental exertion.

When the rain stopped, and everyone gathered around the extinguished bonfire, stepping on the surrounding dirt and making a circle of footprints, the old horse only felt relaxed and relaxed.

Then he finally understood that this rain was the children's reward for him.

They risked their lives, hid from their teachers, and secretly called themselves, just to let themselves come to school, follow them, and get drenched in the rain together.

What a rain!
