XLVIII. Something unexpected
After the rain, the air seems to be flowing with sweet and tempting honey. On the curb, the raindrops on the tips of the small grass are also flowing everywhere arbitrarily. The fish in the river often come to join in the fun. The weeping willow girl with long braids by the river was as close to the river as possible, and the various birds on the branches chirped and sang, and the morning sun that erupted was floating to the surface of the water in an instant. The scenery is eye-catching!
However, Zhang Xinguo rode on the road on this river ridge, but he was not in the mood to appreciate these "heaven-made" beauties. After breakfast today, he asked his two sons to go to Xinlin School first. At this moment, he rode listlessly towards Xinlin School with his head down. From time to time, he stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, and his heart was churning rapidly: Hey, Principal Lu and Vice Principal Hao, one is upright and bold, and the other is ruthless. The two used to be brothers in life and death, and the children of both sides also set a "baby kiss". The relationship between the two has always been like "siblings"! Now, why did they get into such a bad relationship?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xinguo began to think in his heart: if any immortal manifests his spirit, he will let time and space stay in the present. I'm riding on this road like this, and I'll never get to school. Because, I don't help Vice Principal Hao monitor Principal Lu's whereabouts. He wouldn't tolerate me and my two sons working in the school! However, no matter who Principal Lu usually treats, he always "treats each other with sincerity" without discrimination. God, I really don't want to hurt Principal Lu!
A mile away, on a large rock at the bottom of the river, four women were laughing and laughing while scrubbing their clothes on the washboard. Suddenly, one of the women in her twenties put down her clothes and stood up and pointed to the southeast and said, "Sister Li, Xiaoxiao, Aunt Zhang, look at the sky over there, there is a rainbow, just like the seven fairies dancing in the sky in colorful clothes." Look at those colors together, it looks like a beautiful necklace, and it seems to be a colorful colorful bridge, warmly calling for the Cowherd and Weaver Girl to come to meet!
When the other three women heard this, they followed her fingers and looked southeast. After a while, the three women couldn't help but stand up, walked to the woman who was standing before, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang, you told us to see the beautiful scenery in the sky." After seeing the beautiful scenery and washing clothes, we came home late and were blamed by our families, but we have to settle accounts with you. The woman, who was called "Little Wang", then pushed and shoved them and laughed and said, "What, let's let you see the strange beauty, and we have to take responsibility for you?" Well, then I might as well not let you see it. Go and do the laundry.
One of the three women hugged Xiao Wang's arm violently and gave Aunt Zhang and Sister Li a look. Sister Li dragged Xiao Wang's legs, and when Aunt Zhang saw it, she put her hands into Xiao Wang's armpits and scratched them. Now, I can toss a little king so much that I can't stop laughing. After a while, she yelled and begged for mercy: Oh, my mother, our belly is about to laugh. Please let me go!
Aunt Zhang smiled and put down her hand, and Sister Xiao and Sister Li also let go of Xiao Wang. The three of them looked at Xiao Wang and said in unison: "Hehe, what did you say about it just now?" Do you want us to do it again? Xiao Wang quickly turned to the side, clasped his hands into fists and said, "Okay, okay, count me for the three noble hands." Please, let me continue to look at the view!, and the four women turned their eyes to the southeastern sky.
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but shout wildly: Oh, everyone look at the white clouds in the sky, it seems that a horse is running wildly, which makes people feel that it has an untamable vitality. Well, the horse seemed to be tired and stopped running, but just stood there silently. It looked like it was contemplative, and it was like sleeping. Ah, it changed, it got smaller, it became a well-behaved puppy. With short legs and long hair, he looks around as he walks. Hehe, it's probably looking for its own mother!
Suddenly, a "clatter, clatter, pop" sound came into their ears at an extremely inopportune time. Sister Li frowned and said impatiently: "Oh, who is this? The other three also echoed: Well, that's it! Don't look at the angry dissatisfaction from the mouths of these four women, their eyes are not willing to leave the wonderful and fantastic sky! (Actually, if it were me, I would definitely get carried away to enjoy it.) )
However, in this world, since the proverb has been passed down from generation to generation: "Which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned", then it will definitely happen: the more things you don't want to encounter, God will just let you run into these things. Now, whether or not friends believe what the author says, let's still make a decision based on facts: the truth of that proverb!
Here, the four women raised their heads after muttering, still thinking about continuing to watch with interest: the sky after the rain. Steeply, out of thin air, there was a sigh of "ouch, ouch". At this moment, the four women couldn't help whispering: Hey, it seems that someone has fallen to the ground. Let's take a look!
Hehe, no wonder the ancients said that "a woman's heart is made of water". Hey, it turns out that a woman's heart can't see any misfortune at all. At present, the four women have stepped on the stone steps one after another and quickly came to the river ridge. What caught my eye was: an old man in his sixties. Next to it, a worn-out bicycle with a shriveled tire in front and a twisted faucet that fell to the ground. At this moment, the old man was leaning against a black locust tree with the thickness of a basin on the side of the road.
The body of the tree has been touched off the size of a "sieve". The naan inside shows the traces of being collided and rubbed by hard objects, and thick white tears are oozing out. It is as if it is crying to the world: its grievances and pains, and it is as if it is asking the world who is so careless. Or is it absolutely and absolutely deliberate to hurt me? The old man, frowning and twisting his face, bared his teeth and sighed: Oops, oops, oops---- his legs and knees are oozing blood.
Aunt Zhang first rushed to the old man's side and asked inexplicably: "Oh, why are you riding your bicycle carelessly in broad daylight?" You actually crashed into a tree! While she was checking the extent of the old man's physical injuries and talking to the old man, the other three women also came to the old man's side. Suddenly, Xiao Wang was extremely surprised and said: Oh, I know this old man, I went to Xinlin School to visit Niu'er and met it. He was Uncle Zhang in the communication room of that school.
The other three women all knew: Xiao Wang's child went to kindergarten at Xinlin School. Of course, they won't doubt Xiao Wang's words! Thinking of this, the three of them looked at the old man and asked tentatively: Uncle, is what Xiao Wang said right? The old man nodded in embarrassment and said, "Well, Comrade Xiao Wang has not admitted his mistake, I am Zhang Xinguo from the communication room of Xinlin School." Of course, when these women heard this, absolutely no one would be annoyed: Oh, just now they were just looking at the strange scene after the rain. Now I can't wash my clothes for the sake of this old man!
I saw that he took a step forward and said: Uncle, you need to find a doctor for treatment if you fall like this. I'll go home and tell my man to get you to the doctor!" she turned and ran to her house on the side of the road. In the blink of an eye, a burly and tall man came to Zhang Xinguo with a bicycle and motioned for Xiao Wang to hold the bicycle. He immediately bent down and picked up Zhang Xinguo and put him on the saddle, bowed his head and said: Uncle, you grasp the steel pipe under the saddle. Don't let go!
Zhang Xinguo really didn't expect that today, he would meet these good people who he didn't know. He was so moved that he burst into tears! Suddenly, Zhang Xinguo thought of that troublesome matter again. So, he said with a red face: "Well-wishers, uh, I, I have another request." I don't know, should I talk about it?
Aunt Zhang came to her senses and said, "Uncle, you want us to help you inform your family." Zhang Xinguo shook his head and said, "Well, I want to ask you to help me go to Xinlin School and ask Vice Principal Hao for leave." I wonder if the good Samaritan can help again? As he spoke, his cheeks were as red as pig blood. Red all the way to the base of the ear!
Who knows, Xiao Wang's refreshing voice soon entered his ears: Uncle, isn't it just asking for a leave, and it's not a big deal. Besides, my mother's house is sitting near Xinlin School. Today, I happened to visit my mother. Let's go home and take our bikes to school!" she turned and ran to her home.
Zhang Xinguo looked at Xiao Wang's back and said with great emotion: Oh, I don't know you, but you are all helping me. The rest of the women immediately surrounded Zhang Xinguo and chirped like a few larks: Uncle, Xiao Wang's maiden family really lives near Xinlin School. You don't have to be embarrassed!
The younger man also picked up the conversation and said, "Uncle, what they said is good." We'll take you to the doctor, and remember to hold on to the steel pipe under the saddle! As the bicycle bumped on the pothole-ridden and rugged rural dirt road, Zhang Xinguo couldn't help but think of the suffocating thing in his heart: Hey, what happened between Principal Lu and Vice Principal Hao?
Zhang Xinguo would never believe it: Vice Principal Hao said yesterday that he was jealous that Principal Lu would always be a full-level principal, so he had to find a way to deal with Principal Lu. Thinking of this, a voice in Zhang Xinguo's heart shouted: No, no, it's definitely not like this. There must be another reason for the hatred between them. You must not use your conscience to "help and abet abuse"!
Then, Zhang Xinguo remembered: I have been riding back and forth for more than 20 years on this road that leads directly to the school and my home. I've never hit a tree, and I've never fallen once. However, from the time I got up to the present today, I have been in a trance. Unexpectedly, the bike actually hit the tree. Well, it seems that all kinds of gods and gods are manifesting themselves, deliberately letting me ride into a tree and fall. In this case, I can't go back to school and monitor Principal Lu's whereabouts for Vice Principal Hao. Hey, it seems that we hit a tree and injured ourselves this time, no matter how painful the leg is, how serious the damage to the bicycle is. It's all very, very worthwhile!
So, at this moment, Zhang Xinguo felt that the pain after the injury was nothing anymore. Only in this way can I not hurt good people, and I can feel at ease in my heart! Thinking of this, he was a little annoyed: Oh, I fell too lightly today. If it is serious enough to require hospitalization, it is better to stay for a week until the two principals have resolved the conflict privately. That's it!
At this time, Xiao Wang led the bicycle past the black locust tree, she supported the bicycle with her legs, looked at the other three women and said embarrassedly: Eh, I blame me today, let you see the wonders after the rain. Otherwise, your clothes would have been washed long ago. Xiao took a step forward and said: Xiao Wang, you'd better hurry up and help Uncle Zhang ask for leave. Otherwise, the three of us will have to you. When the time comes, don't beg for mercy and let you go!
Aunt Zhang tugged at the sleeve of Xiao Xiao and said: Xiao Xiao, don't scare her anymore. Then, she turned to Xiao Wang and said, "Xiao Wang, we will help you do the laundry." You just have to go to Xinlin School and help Uncle Zhang ask for leave! Xiao Wang nodded and said, "Well, then I will thank you all my good friends in advance." As she spoke, she also got on the bike and rode into the distance.
It wasn't until Xiao Wang's figure was completely out of sight that the three women stepped on the stone steps, walked to the big rock, and continued to scrub their clothes vigorously. Sister Li couldn't help but raise her head and glanced at the southeast sky with nostalgia. Then she sighed softly and said, "Well, we have only been gone for a while, and the little dog, which has only been turned into a horse, lies there very tired."
When Aunt Zhang and Xiao heard this, they couldn't help but raise their heads and glance at the southeast sky. They laughed and said, "Hey, it's turned into a ferocious crocodile." The long, fat body pounced on a small fish. The little fish was nimble and swam forward like an arrow. The crocodile, on the other hand, climbed very slowly, and gradually, the small fish threw the huge crocodile away.
At this time, Xiao Xiao suddenly said thoughtfully: Hey, Aunt Zhang, Sister Li, that Uncle Zhang actually rode his bicycle into the black locust tree in broad daylight. I think this Uncle Zhang must have something on his mind. Moreover, it must still be a very small and unexpected thing. It's even more of a nuisance that he can't solve!
Okay, friends, let's go back and follow in Xiao Wang's footsteps and go to Xinlin School to find out. Xiao Wang rode and rode all the way "under his feet", and finally rode to the cement road at the entrance of Xinlin School. I saw it from afar: Vice Principal Hao was pacing around the school gate with his head down. From time to time, I raised my hand to look at my watch, and then at the road leading to the school gate.
Xiao Wang thought to himself: Hey, looking at Vice Principal Hao's expression, he seems to be very anxious. He also vigorously raised his hand to look at his watch, and for a moment he looked at the road. Could it be that there are important people coming to the school today? Oh, which leader is it? Xiao Wang at this moment is so that she can dream of "one thousand and one nights." would never have thought that the famous Vice President Hao would be waiting for Zhang Xinguo.
At this time, Xiao Wang finally thought: Today, he was entrusted to come to Xinlin School to ask Vice Principal Hao for leave. So, she took her bicycle to Vice Principal Hao's side and said softly: Vice Principal Hao, someone asked me to ask for leave for him. Hao Jian blurted out: Oh, ask for leave for someone, go to the teacher's office to find the teaching director.
Xiao Wang looked at Hao Jian and said: However, this person asked me to tell you. Hao Jian couldn't help but raise his head, looked at the woman in front of him and said in surprise: What, you must tell me. Who the hell is it? Xiao Wang said: Uncle Zhang in the communication room.
When Hao Jian heard this, he immediately frowned and gritted his teeth. Xiao Wang was extremely surprised and said, "What's wrong with Vice Principal Hao?" Did we say the wrong thing just now? Hao Jian turned to Xiao Wang, his eyes were like eagle eyes, staring at Xiao Wang and saying with emotion: Who are you Zhang Xinguo? What did he tell you? Why didn't he come to school?
Xiao Wang didn't understand why Vice Principal Hao was so excited at this time? She couldn't imagine that she was just asking for leave for someone to provoke Vice Principal Hao to interrogate her like a prisoner. So, she muttered: I don't know Uncle Zhang, he just hit a tree on the side of the road while riding his bicycle, and his legs and knees were bleeding. It's near my house, and my neighbor has already gone to the doctor.
Who knows, Hao Jian sneered and said: Hmph, he is really good at picking the time. Xiao Wang said inexplicably: Oops, Uncle Zhang has fallen hard enough. Why did Vice President Hao still say cool things? When Hao Jian heard this, his heart sank: Oh, if we continue to talk about it, I'm afraid we will leak our mouths. Well, let's let her go home!
Thinking of this, Hao Jian forced a smile and said: Oh, something unpleasant happened at home in the morning. It has nothing to do with you. Seeing how offended I was when I vented my emotions to you just now, Xiao Wang said heartily: "Vice President Hao, I have already asked for leave for you on behalf of Uncle Zhang. Then it's time for me to take my leave!
As he spoke, Xiao Wang didn't wait for Hao Jian to speak, turned around and rode into the distance without looking back. At this moment, she felt a pang in her heart: Hey, we just saw Vice President Hao's expression, I'm afraid I am very angry with Uncle Zhang. Heck, didn't you just ask him for a leave of absence when he was injured? As for his teeth, did he clench?
Suddenly, Xiao Wang's heart faintly felt: Just now, Vice President Hao's words were really shocking and regretful. Obviously, what he said must not be the truth. There must be some hidden secret of an invisible person! Uncle Zhang must have something in his heart. I was in a trance and hit a tree and fell to the ground! This incident is definitely an extraordinary and unexpected thing. It's a nuisance that he has no solution to!
