Chapter 033: Cao Yanfang and the Peony Girl
After class, when he returned to the dormitory, Niu Tiangou put down his textbook, sat down and wanted to smoke a cigarette, and then change a few homework books before going home.
"Teacher!"
Student Zhao Xiaoyan suddenly ran to the door and shouted at him with a grin: "My cousin is looking for you!" ”
Niu Tiangou got up and turned his head, only to see Cao Yanfang standing outside the door with a slight smile, with a faint flush on her beautiful face, like a lotus fairy in the morning mist, with a faint fragrance.
Niu Tiangou was stunned, and then hurriedly said: "Yo, it's Teacher Cao, rare guests, come in and sit!" ”
"Sister, I'm going home for dinner!" After Zhao Xiaoyan yelled at her cousin again, she turned around and ran away.
Cao Yanfang hesitated for a moment, then walked in with a smile, looked around the room, and sat down crampedly on a chair.
"I came to ask Xiaoyan about her studies." Cao Yanfang seemed a little embarrassed, looking for a reason, "What are her grades?" I usually ask her, but she doesn't say. ”
"Oh," Niu Tiangou sat on the edge of the bed, thought for a moment, and replied truthfully, "Her grades are above average...... It is estimated that we will have to work hard to take the examination for technical secondary school or key high school next year. ”
"Then you have to pay more attention to her, care more about her, and spend more time." Cao Yanfang looked at Niu Tiangou and smiled slightly.
"Of course, the teachers will hurry up, but the main thing is to rely on her own efforts." Looking at Cao Yanfang's sweet smiling face, Niu Tiangou felt that the whole room was full of warmth.
After being silent for a while, Niu Tiangou seemed to remember something, and asked with concern: "Uh, are you still preparing to take the civil teacher exam next year?" ”
Hearing him ask about his exam, Cao Yanfang's face looked a little embarrassed, and she sighed faintly and said, "Of course, I want to, but ...... After three years of exams, I have been short of more than ten points, and I always feel that I have no bottom in my heart, lack of confidence, and I have encountered too many problems when reviewing, and it is inconvenient to ask others for advice......"
After speaking, Cao Yanfang glanced at Niu Tiangou and said softly, "What if...... It would be nice if someone could give me a little counseling. ”
"Oh, that's easy, you can come to me if you have any problems, even if I don't, we have other teachers here."
"That'...... Not quite right? Cao Yanfang blushed, "The teaching tasks of your graduating class are so heavy, let's talk about ...... Everyone is busy with their own business, and it's not very convenient. ”
"What's so bad about that? I can still find that time. ”
“……”
At this time, the students were gone, and the campus was silent.
After chatting for a while, Cao Yanfang quickly stood up and said, "Oh, you haven't had lunch yet, have you?" Then I won't bother you. ”
"Okay." Niu Tiangou got up to send him off.
"Uh......" Cao Yanfang slowly walked to the door, seemed to remember something, turned her head, and asked casually, "You...... Got an object, right? ”
"Hmm...... Not yet. Niu Tiangou didn't expect her to suddenly ask about this, and her face was embarrassed.
Cao Yanfang stopped, glanced at Niu Tiangou with a slightly red face, and seemed to hesitate a little and said, "Someone...... You want to ask me to introduce you to a friend, a private teacher, you see ......"
Niu Tiangou was stunned, and then his face froze, for some reason, as soon as he heard this, he remembered the incident where she wrote a letter to Niu Dehua, and he had a sour feeling in his heart.
The person you have a crush on is boring to you, but now she says that she wants to introduce others to herself, what has she become? Defective? If she doesn't like it herself, she sells it to others?
Niu Tiangou unconsciously felt a trace of humiliation in his heart, not a taste.
"Forget it." Niu Tiangou concealed the unhappiness in his heart, and responded lightly, he didn't need her mercy.
Besides, he also wants to study high school knowledge while working, improve his knowledge level, and improve his academic qualifications in the future -- improve his mental condition; besides, middle school teachers and students will definitely be eliminated in the future if they teach junior high school.
Seeing his refusal, Cao Yanfang was stunned, her face turned red, she opened her mouth, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she had to walk out silently.
Niu Tiangou sent her to the door, thought for a while, and then said to her: "If it is inconvenient for you to find me when you encounter problems during review, you can call Xiaoyan to ask me at any time, as an old classmate, I will try my best to help." ”
Cao Yanfang didn't squeak, took hurried steps, and hurried out of the school gate.
Niu Tiangou stood at the door and watched for a while until Cao Yanfang's figure disappeared.
At this time, Teacher Cao Zhengdong walked over, looked at the school gate, and looked at Niu Tiangou in a daze, with strange eyes.
"Don't look at me like that, she's the parent of the student." Niu Tiangou came back to his senses, he knew what Cao Zhengdong wanted to say.
"Oh, parents, parents." Cao Zhengdong nodded solemnly and smiled evilly.
……
When I returned home, I just sat down at the table with my rice bowl, and my mother hurriedly said, "Tiangou, your sister-in-law of Dandan agreed!" I was also worried that Miss Peony would think you were short, but your sister-in-law Dandan said that as long as you don't think her sister's education level is low, it's fine. I said, what do rural girls want to do with such a high level of education? ”
"What a good girl. I was a little reluctant to leave her. ”
Mother was reluctant: "Your sister-in-law Dandan also said that as long as the family affairs are settled, the peony girl does not pay attention to any bride price." You see, the girls are more reasonable and considerate...... Of course, this is what the girl means, and we still have to take out some of the bride price money. ”
"Why don't you quickly choose a time to settle your affairs and finish them at the end of the year?" It seems that my mother is in a hurry, as if she is afraid that the duck in her hand will fly.
Niu Tiangou didn't squeak and ate silently.
Dandan's sister-in-law's sister is indeed a rare good girl.
When I think of the peony girl, her moon-like face, her rich figure, her toned figure, and her quiet temperament, Niu Tiangou's heart is like a fire.
He felt that the peony girl was like Guanyin Niangniang standing on the white clouds, sending him an affectionate call, happy with every nerve of his. He really wanted to get married, lying in her smooth and smooth arms, melting in her beauty and tenderness......
However, he doesn't seem to want to end his unconcerned single life prematurely and bring the fetters of a rural family.
Simply combined with the peony girl, of course he is willing, but after getting married, he will become a "half of the household registration", and he will be busy with the peony girl all year round, which will involve most of his study energy, which is not conducive to his future development.
Besides, he was fed up with the grievances of being sullen while doing farm work in the countryside, but now he finally took off his "peasant" skin and ate the imperial grain, and he really didn't want to "go back to the pre-liberation" period all of a sudden.
He longs for the gentle embrace of the peony girl, but he wants to take another step forward on the road of life.
He believes in the saying: If you are obsessed with the gorgeous wildflowers in the mountains, you will not be able to reach the majestic peak; If you are fascinated by the soft grass on the riverside, you will miss the trip to the sea.
He wanted to review the high school curriculum while working, and continue to take the college entrance examination two years later, and strive to study at the Normal College.
Marrying a peony girl, he can only be with the plough rake, in the mud and water for a lifetime, and the present of his parents will be his future.
He doesn't want to say to his son one day in the future, the biggest pursuit in my life is your beautiful mother!
Uncle Taurus's words about "seeking wealth and cultivating the soul" still seemed to be echoing in his ears.
"Mom," Niu Tiangou didn't want to chill his mother's heart, let alone make his mother angry, so he thought about it for a while, "I don't want to get married now, I want to study hard for two years." ”
"What? Two years? Mom's eyes widened and she said in surprise, "Such a handsome girl, I'm afraid that the threshold of the family has been broken by the matchmaker, and I will wait for you for two years?" ”
"Let it be." Dad, who had been eating next to him, was not angry, put down the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and said in a calm tone, "Don't the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry." ”
Dad doesn't have to worry about Tiangou's marriage now. In his eyes, if a national teacher wants to find a handsome rural girl, it is not a shrimp eating mud - just open your mouth! What are you panicking about?
