Returning to Tuhuang Township Middle School, and ending 3 years of correspondence life at the teacher's college, Niu Tiangou wanted to get married immediately, but Teresa Teng's mother said that it was better to wait until October 1, because relatives and friends have leisure time during the National Day holiday, and they can have a lively time.

Teresa Teng naturally didn't say anything after hearing it, so wait, fortunately, ...... There is nothing to reflect in the stomach, otherwise it will be troublesome.

Since he was getting married in a month, Tuhuang Township Middle School did not have a ready-made house for the time being, and Niu Tiangou didn't want to live in the school alone, so he went home to live in the old mud house with his parents. The third brother got married last year, and the newly built house was crowded by the second brother and the third brother and the younger brothers-in-law.

So, Niu Tiangou ate and lived at home, rode to school to attend classes, and prepared to "run and teach" for many years.

……

In early September, Niu Tiangou suddenly received a letter from Zhao Xiaoyan.

After reading the letter, Niu Tiangou remembered that Zhao Xiaoyan was the round-faced little girl he had taught when he was first assigned to Tuhuang Township Middle School five years ago, and the little cousin of Cao Yanfang, a private teacher.

Zhao Xiaoyan said in the letter that she was very happy to hear that Teacher Niu had been transferred back to Tuhuangxiang Middle School. She still remembers Teacher Niu's voice and smile in class.

She said that she was admitted to an ordinary high school after the high school entrance examination that year, and now she is studying at Huaiyin Agricultural Machinery School after graduation, and she will graduate and look for a job in one year.

She said that the students in the agricultural machinery school are not as hard working as they did in high school, and they are more free...... She wanted to write some small articles to submit to newspapers and magazines, she knew that Mr. Niu usually likes to write some articles, and she wanted Mr. Niu to talk about his experience in writing articles......

To be honest, Niu Tiangou has no good experience in writing articles and submitting articles to newspapers and periodicals, only deep feelings.

Niu Tiangou usually likes to write small articles, and occasionally submits articles to newspapers and periodicals, but he is either rejected or "there is no news about the mud cow entering the sea".

Some time ago, he wrote a short story based on his experience of marriage, and personally sent it to the editorial office of a literary and artistic publication of the Jiangcheng Provincial Writers Association. A young editor, seeing someone sending a manuscript, enthusiastically brought him to an old editor with gray hair. The old editor took the manuscript in Niu Tiangou's hand, glanced at it, and put it on the table without saying a word.

"Do you want to publish it in a literary journal?" After a while, the young editor asked.

"Hmm." Niu Tiangou nodded.

"Publishing articles in our journal is funded." Seeing that Niu Tiangou didn't understand the "market", the young editor explained, "Two thousand yuan a piece." ”

"What?" Niu Tiangou looked stunned, and said in his heart: Do you have to pay for the article yourself? Another 2,000 yuan? Is this a published work? Isn't that the same as spending money on spam ads?

Niu Tiangou understood that the articles published in their literary and artistic journals were all written by wealthy people to be "famous". As long as you are willing to pay for it, any "garbage article" can be published.

The literary and artistic publications of the Provincial Writers' Association have reached such a point, and Niu Tiangou really feels sad for them.

……

Thinking of this, Niu Tiangou wrote a letter to tell Zhao Xiaoyan about these situations, and persuaded her to study hard in school, and learning technology well is better than anything else. Writing an essay is a difficult path, and if you must try, you will have to wait until you find a stable job in the future.

Soon, Zhao Xiaoyan wrote again, and she said in the letter: "...... Teacher, I will listen to you and study hard in school...... However, there are not many of our students here who really study hard, and most of them are free and scattered.

"It's common to talk about love on campus, and teachers don't bother to interfere...... The student council president of our class was very nice to me, he seemed to ...... He is also a student of our Beihe Town, and he looks and looks similar to you, and I also have a good impression of him...... However, I didn't know what to do, I wanted to reject him, and I was afraid that he would embarrass me......

"Teacher, what do you say I should do? I'd love to hear your advice......"

Although Zhao Xiaoyan's words were tactful, Niu Tiangou would not fail to understand what she meant.

Niu Tiangou didn't know what to say to her.

He and Teresa Teng are about to get married, and he can't be sorry for Teresa Teng's true feelings. Besides, Zhao Xiaoyan has not graduated yet, and she will have to find a job after graduation, she will encounter a lot of people and things in the future, and there are many uncertain factors, but he can't afford to delay it anymore.

After thinking for a while, Niu Tiangou simply replied to her with a letter, saying that she had to make her own decisions about this matter. If you want to associate with that student council president, keep associating; If you don't want to, make it clear to the student council president in person, and if he continues to pester, you can also seek help from the school leader or the female teacher......

……

That morning, Niu Tiangou was riding his bicycle to school.

As soon as I arrived at the south end of the street in Tuhuang Township, I suddenly heard a crisp cry: "Teacher Niu!" ”

Niu Tiangou turned around and saw a girl standing on the side of the street, looking at him with a slight smile, and hurriedly stopped down.

"Are you ......" When the girl walked in front of her, Niu Tiangou asked in a daze.

"You don't know me anymore?" The girl smiled shyly, "I'm Zhao Xiaoyan." ”

Ah, Zhao Xiaoyan! He couldn't find the shadow of the round-faced little girl in her.

I haven't seen her for 5 years, she has grown to 20 years old, half a forehead taller than Niu Tiangou, and she has become a big girl who is smart, fresh and tender, lively, sweet and sweet, and peugeot!

Nima, Time ...... That's fast.

20 girls a flower. From Zhao Xiaoyan's body, Niu Tiangou seemed to see the shadow of the warm and beautiful Cao Yanfang again.

Niu Tiangou steadied himself, and then said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I really don't recognize it." Oh, how do you ...... Over here? ”

"When I came back from school to rest, I walked around the street." Zhao Xiaoyan flashed her bright eyes and smiled shyly. She wanted to say, I want to see you, but I waited here all morning yesterday and didn't see you. But she didn't say it at all.

"You're in school...... Is life okay? Seeing his students, Niu Tiangou didn't seem to know what to say.

"Well, the school is like that......" Zhao Xiaoyan smiled a little shyly, "You don't seem to have changed at all, it's still the same as I remembered......"

“……”

……

After talking for a while without a goal, Niu Tiangou suddenly raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said, "Yo, class time is almost up, you go around first, I'll go to class?" ”

"Well, there you go." Zhao Xiaoyan smiled and nodded, and then looked at him in a daze as he gradually left his back, as if there was a trace of loss in his eyes......

……

About a week later, Niu Tiangou received another letter from Huaiyin Agricultural Machinery School.

He thought it was written by Zhao Xiaoyan, but after opening it and looking at it, he realized that it was written by the president of the student union in Zhao Xiaoyan's class:

Mr. Niu:

Hello!

I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of writing this letter to you.

I was born in a poor peasant family in Mahe Township, Beihe Township, and it is not easy for my parents to provide me with education. After arriving at the Agricultural Machinery School, I served as the president of the student union, and I got to know your student Zhao Xiaoyan in my study and life, and I fell in love with her and got along very well.

Mr. Niu, I respect the teachers who once nurtured me like a gardener, and I hope you can understand me as a student from a poor family as if you were your student.

After the holiday at the end of the year, I am going to come to your house with Zhao Xiaoyan to greet you for the New Year, do you say okay?

Student? the power?

In the end, he is the president of the student union, and the letter is written very tactfully, moving with affection, and knowing with reason. Niu Tiangou felt very strange, how did he know that he was communicating with Zhao Xiaoyan? Perhaps, he occasionally saw the letter Zhao Xiaoyan received?

After reading the letter, Niu Tiangou understood what he meant.

Niu Tiangou decided not to reply to Zhao Xiaoyan anymore.
